Zhao Hu smiled: "It's not that neighboring countries don't want to destroy the empire in one go. They have long been drooling over the empire. They finally found an opportunity and could not be gentle. But they also have to have that ability."

"Don't have that ability? Even if so many countries unite together, they can kill the empire halfway."

Zhou Wen blinked in confusion. Although he was the Chief of Secret Guard and was in charge of a lot of confidential information, his personality only focused on things related to Zhao Hu, and he still had no overall view.

However, Zhou Wen doesn't care about this. The people below will sort out these things and hand them over to the Lord. This will not allow you to do too much trouble if you decide the direction of the Lord.

Zhao Hu smiled, recalled the report he saw, and briefly explained the reasons to Zhou Wen: At the beginning, when neighboring countries saw the turmoil of warlords in the empire, they immediately rushed over and even began to contact each other to prepare to divide the empire together. They knew that they could not eat such a large piece of fat.

However, they obviously forgot the mentality of the former commander of the Emperor** army. At that time, they won the promotion and went to Beijing for retirement, and they were dismissed and returned to their hometown to farm. Without strict orders, no one would be too lazy to do anything.

But now he is a warlord, and victory or defeat is related to his own wealth, wealth, life and life. The most important point is that the warlords can mobilize all the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized to cooperate in combat, but during the Emperor's period, there were many restraints and concerns. At least one move that drags his back is enough to make people cry without tears.

With the warlords who let go of their hands, the invasion of the enemy took some place that the warlords disdained, and they would not even think about entering the world of flowery flowers in the empire's hinterland to grab them.

Moreover, these invading enemy troops have other enemies besides the empire. If the entire army cannot be dispatched, even if the entire army is dispatched, it may not be worth the cost.

Why do you say that? Just look at how many warlords there are in the empire now and how many troops each warlord has. The Free Alliance has done this statistics based on the equivalent spies, and the caravans spread throughout the empire.

When this result appeared in the hands of the powerful people of the Free Alliance, they completely gave up their intention to send troops to seize the Imperial Port in the recent period.

Three hundred and fifteen million armed forces, one hundred and twenty million troops, and three million elite troops.

How did such a large number of troops come from? It was all brought about by warlords' desperate expansion of their army.

Although the warlord melee not only caused a significant reduction in the empire's population and destroyed the social economy, it was still somewhat capable. At least the infrastructure industries related to the army were built up to encourage the growth of these warlords.

Although it was entirely caused by destroying other industrial structures, in a short period of time, the Imperial** ranks number one in the world!

At the same time, although the warlords desperately expanded their army regardless of people's livelihood, they were not idiots. A group of mobs would definitely not defeat the elite troops. Ordinary soldiers could go to the battlefield after a little training, but how should they obtain elite soldiers used to protect themselves as the main force?

The warlords didn't have to think about it and directly used the terrifying and bloody new recruit training that could not be implemented during the imperial period. This kind of elite soldiers eliminated at the cost of life can completely meet the needs of the warlords.

It can be said that any warlord has an elite force in his hands, and most of the combat power is comparable, but there are differences in the number of troops.

For this elite force that can decide the outcome of the battlefield at critical moments and can save one's own lives, the warlords do their best to cultivate and maintain such troops. This is why such terrifying elite soldiers appeared in the entire empire.

The powerful people from the Free Alliance, who were born in merchants, immediately began to calculate how much money they would need to destroy an empire with such military strength, and how much benefits they could get from such huge losses.

After the results came out, the Free Alliance, which had the least demands on the territory, was the first to change its strategy and began to vigorously implement blood-sucking and support actions.

The Free Alliance, a country second only to the empire, gave up its force. The other countries were like wild wolves led by a leaderless wolf. After screaming, they found that the loss was not worth it, so they stopped.

Since there is no need to fight, the so-called alliance will naturally not succeed. After all, these countries have conflicts and cannot continue to do things that can work together, so they have to continue to compete with each other.

Because of these situations, the war on the border of the empire quickly subsided.

While changing their attitude to build relationships with the frontier warlords, these invading countries silently watched the warlords in the empire's hinterland and seaside areas in a melee. They wanted the frontier warlords to invade or internal warlords to fight out so that they could have an opportunity.

Because of these complex relationships, the warlords in the empire fought each other so unrestrainedly that they were not afraid of destroying the country by foreign enemies.

Hearing this, Zhou Wen was stunned for a while before sighing: "It is because of this reason that the Empire was not annexed?"

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "It's hard to predict bad luck. Well, since the trench has been dug almost, you can issue an order."

"Hurry up! You will reach the grassland after rushing through this mountain pass! Our Kate army must occupy that grassland before the enemy!"

An officer rode on his horse and stopped by the roadside, shouting loudly at the cavalry that rushed past him.

After being a groom for several days, all the cavalrymen rode their horses excitedly and were able to ride horses. They could finally kill people and get rid of the air these days!

The cavalry lined up in front rushed out of the mountain pass, and saw a vast and yellow grassland appear in front of you.

After suppressing his mood in the mountains and forests for several days, he was immediately released. The cavalry took a deep breath and muttered: "This is the place where our cavalry should stay..."

With a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot the cavalry off his horse.

The first group of Kate cavalry who rushed out had just seen the vast world, and immediately fell down dozens of them. Before the cavalry could react, they continued to charge and were shot down.

In just a moment, nearly a hundred cavalry fell down on the spot. And the most terrifying thing is that no trace of the enemy was found!

Shocked by this sudden blow, the Kate cavalry did not expect to encounter an attack when leaving the valley. They all thought that they should only encounter enemies in the middle or end of the grassland.

This psychological contrast made the few cavalry remaining from the first attack almost subconsciously prepare to turn around and escape. However, the cavalry following closely behind had to stop because they were blocked in front.

When several officers present saw this situation, cold sweat immediately emerged. If their squadrons were blocked at the entrance of this valley, the entire army would not have been wiped out, but the striker would definitely suffer heavy losses!

Thinking of this, several officers gritted their teeth and shouted: "When you advance but not retreat, follow me!" and rushed out from behind with their guns.

The officers set an example, and the cavalry immediately woke up. They were too lazy to calculate where the enemy was hiding. Anyway, they had a cavalry division, and as long as they entered the grassland, they would not be afraid of any number of enemies! So without saying a word, they immediately raised their spears and rushed to the grassland with the officers.

Their actions not only made way, but also led the cavalry behind them to charge with them.

Another rain of arrows came.

With preparation, only a dozen unlucky cavalry fell off their horses. It was not until this moment that the cavalry discovered the figure of the enemy, hundreds of archers wrapped in a layer of hay!

No wonder I couldn’t find these guys just now. They were lying on the grass and could not find them at all within a certain distance!

The cavalry immediately became angry. Not to mention these poor enemy troops without a little knight spirit, even these enemy troops who do not have a large group of troops dared to snipe their own cavalry division?! This is a naked contempt! It is really insulting!

"kill!"

The officer roared and rushed towards the hundreds of hay-covered enemy troops. The cavalry even gritted their teeth and rushed forward, as if they were ready to stomp these enemies directly to death with their horses.

The hundreds of enemy troops, wondered if they were foolish when they saw the nearly 1,000 cavalry charges. Not only did they not pull the bow and shoot, but instead stuffed the necklace hanging on their necks into their mouths as soon as possible, and then immediately threw away the bow and arrow and pulled out the sword to prepare for the battle.

Seeing this scene, the officer who was a little knowledgeable was a little confused. Why are these guys all religious? Otherwise, how could they do such a unified action before they die?

Of course, this idea just passed by. No matter what religion he believes in, killing them is what he should do now!

The officer's spear easily pierced an enemy's chest. When the officer was about to throw down the spear and pull out the sabre, he was shocked to find that the enemy, who was stabbed by the spear, had blood speared, did not fall down. Instead, he took the opportunity to slash at him.

Just as he was stunned, it was too late to block with a knife. The officer subconsciously raised his left arm to resist, and was naturally cut off with a knife!

The officer groaned, gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain, and raised his knife to cut off the enemy's head.

Seeing the blood spurt into the sky, the officer breathed a sigh of relief. The bright red blood showed that the enemy was not a demon. It must be because he could have a blow to death.

The officer did not stop. He first rode his horse with one hand for a while, and then quickly looked around and was preparing to bandage himself. However, just by looking at this, the saber that was bitten in the mouth by the officer in order to liberate his right hand fell down immediately.
