Chapter 1015 Chain Meter
After the Annan players argued, they finally decided to send another 200,000 troops to the south.
According to the information from Haiphong City, the Great Xia Army did not gather troops in other coastal cities except Da Nang City and Luping City.
Not to mention the three field armies that Daxia landed in Luping City, they are only active on the northern border for the time being, the purpose seems to be to clear a strategic buffer zone and establish a stronghold for the follow-up troops.
Other than that, nothing unusual.
If it weren't for the 500,000 Southern Expeditionary Army being trapped, Hanoi players are already preparing to organize a Northern Expeditionary Army to wipe out the Great Xia Army and defend the territory without losing it.
According to the information sent back by the intelligence agents of Haiphong City, a field army stationed in Da Nang City by Daxia, all members are stationed in the city and there is no sign of going out.
Even if there is, it is only a small force.
As for the cavalry of the Great Xia Imperial Guard who had already gone south, according to the information reported by the cities in the south, within a day, two or three cities were attacked by the army at the same time.
Obviously, this cavalry has penetrated deep into the southern hinterland, and it is impossible to appear in Haiyun Mountain.
After such an analysis, Annan's players finally settled down. The probability of the reinforcements being ambushed is almost zero, unless the Great Xia Army has some magical magic.
That is obviously impossible.
The 200,000 troops marched south. Once the trapped Southern Expeditionary Army was rescued, they could go south to recover Da Nang City in one fell swoop, and then drove the Daxia Imperial Guard cavalry out of the southern border.
The two strategic goals set before are now possible again.
After thinking it over clearly, the Annan players didn't hesitate any longer, saving people was like fighting a fire, and on the same day they selected 200,000 warriors to form the second Southern Expedition Army, and quickly rushed to Haiyun Mountain.
The battle of Annan seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog.
The huge number of players determines that even if Annan suffers setbacks in this national war, he is still able to do a job with ease, can calmly dispatch, and then reverse the unfavorable situation.
Still the same sentence: "In the face of absolute quantity, all conspiracies and tricks are just clouds."
Annan is far from down!
When the mighty army left the city, millions of players rushed to see them off spontaneously. Although there was no real death in the game, the price of ruining the country was still huge, so the scene was very touching.
I just don't know if they will get what they want.
*************
A few days ago, the coalition forces of the [Yanhuang League] had arrived at the border of Western Chu, and a war between the two sides was imminent.
Overlord Xiang Yu was as domineering as ever, declaring: "This time, we will let the [Yanhuang League] army come and go, and bring shame upon ourselves!"
Dichen and the others just mobilized the army silently. They were like a pack of wolves, attacking Xichu from the north and the south, plus the threat from the sea to the east and the mortal enemy Han Empire to the west.
Xichu once again fell into the situation of "besieged on all sides".
At the same time, in order to prevent Daxia from intervening in this war, the three major fleets of Handan Fleet, Chixuecheng Fleet, and Zhoushan Fleet cooperated with each other to completely block the Yellow Sea and cut off Daxia's sea rescue route.
Although the Great Xia Binhai Fleet is also in the Yellow Sea, it is unable to break through the blockade of the three major fleets of the [Yanhuang League], and can only "watch from the sidelines".
This time Daxia seemed really at a loss what to do, not to mention sending troops to reinforce Xichu, even Xiang Yu couldn't see his face, because the two major forces were not formal allies and did not open the teleportation array to each other.
…………
Shanhai City, Summer Palace.
Almost at the same time that Annan sent the second expeditionary force, the secret envoy sent by Daxia Honglu Temple had quietly returned to Shanhai City, bringing back two credentials.
After carefully appreciating the national documents, especially the one from the Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo was in a very happy mood, and said to Zhang Liang with a smile, "Why do you think that Tang Taizong will definitely agree to our request?"
Zhang Liang replied: "The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are like clouds, and there is no shortage of Li Jing. What they lack is the territory that can be used by these generals. This transaction is not a loss for the Tang Dynasty. With Tang Taizong's ambition, it is normal to agree. of."
"It's true. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty occupied the large Central Plains province, which might have greatly stimulated those two. Without a large enough territory, what's the use of having a bunch of civil servants and generals?"
As King Xia, Ouyang Shuo could somewhat understand the thoughts of those two heroes.
Cooperation is nothing more than identifying the greatest needs of the other party and guiding them appropriately. While satisfying the needs of the other party, one can naturally achieve one's own goals, even if it is difficult for the other party to accept.
Ouyang Shuo put down his credentials and said with a smile, "Since the matter of cooperation has been decided, it's time for us to fulfill our promise." As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo unconsciously turned his eyes to the southwest land.
There, I don't know what kind of drama will be staged again.
*************
On April 12th in the fifth year of Gaia, Annan, Haiyun Mountain.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Annan's second southern expedition army arrived at Haiyun Mountain. Along the way, the army didn't meet a single soldier of Daxia, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that their judgment before departure was correct.
When they came to the foot of the mountain and saw the mountain road blocked by 300-meter-high gravel, everyone gasped, "This, this is really..."
They couldn't find a suitable word to describe it for a while.
"Everyone, don't be dazed, hurry up and work, there are probably people inside who have fainted from hunger!"
Four days passed, and the players trapped in the mountain path were not only fainted from hunger, they were already in chaos. In order to snatch a piece of dry food, the former friends did not hesitate to fight each other with swords.
Human nature has been twisted.
Everyone didn't even dare to sleep alone at night, for fear of being slaughtered for a piece of dry food in their sleep.
No matter what, the guilds can only hold each other together.
Between life and death, only the fittest survive.
There are fights and killings in the mountain road all the time, for maybe just two bags of steamed buns, which is really ironic, because everything is a cloud in front of death.
Only by living can we talk about human nature.
…………
Now that we arrived safely, there is nothing to say, let's do it!
Although everyone brought various tools, there are no mechanical equipment such as excavators in the game. It is not easy to clean up this pile of rubble.
For a while, the foot of the mountain turned into a lively construction site.
The 200,000 players worked together, some were responsible for breaking large stones, and some formed artificial "conveyor belts" to transport the broken stones out.
Because it was blasted by explosives, the pile of rubble is not stable. If one is not careful and moves the lower stone, it may cause the upper stone to collapse and cause an accident.
The whole process is really difficult.
But no matter how hard and tiring they are, they have no complaints in front of the survival of their family and country. They can only turn this pain into hatred for Daxia, hoping to avenge their hatred on the battlefield.
Human nature is so complicated, sometimes it is shameful to be selfish, and sometimes it is so selfless.
Towards evening, less than a fifth of the cleanup was done. According to this progress, the players in the mountain path would have been starved to death before the cleaning was completed.
The rescue team was also helpless.
They have 200,000 people available, but the manpower that can really be deployed on the work surface is extremely limited, and sometimes the most primitive manual work is used. Such progress is already the result of everyone's concerted efforts.
Gritting their teeth, everyone decided to fight fiercely overnight.
The team responsible for transporting the gravel during the day withdrew, went to the periphery for repairs, and had dinner by the way; they were replaced by a group of new troops, who started new operations under the light of the torches.
This spirit is really worth affirming.
War is cruel, and you will not win because you are good enough, because the enemy may do better than you. When the last afterglow of the setting sun falls into the sky, disaster strikes again!
The sound of rumbling horseshoes suddenly came from the periphery of the camp, which was deafening.
"what happened?"
"There are cavalrymen rushing over." Someone put his ear on the ground to listen, "Listening to the sound, there are no fewer than 50,000 cavalrymen coming, or even more, from three sides."
"Cavalry? Is it the army of Haiphong City? I haven't heard that they are coming."
Players are puzzled.
This doubt did not last long, only about ten minutes.
When the cavalry unit carrying the Great Xia Army Banner rushed towards this unprepared Southern Expeditionary Unit like death, everyone was stunned and did not recover for a while.
"How is it possible! How could the Great Xia cavalry appear here?!" Seeing the Great Xia cavalry attacking like a storm, the Annan players still couldn't believe their eyes.
"Could it be that the information on Haiphong City is wrong?"
This seems to be the only reasonable explanation for now.
"Ruan Tianque, you killed all of us!" Someone cursed unwillingly and died under the horse's hoof.
The timing of the Daxia cavalry's raid was extremely precise, and it happened to be meal time. The players who were tired all day gathered around the outside of the camp to eat, and the inner circle was the second group of players who fought all night.
Such a charge of the cavalry just inserted into the weakness of Annan's player camp.
Panic inevitably spread.
With the help of moonlight and a little bit of fire, the Great Xia cavalry set off a heinous slaughter at the foot of the mountain.
The raiding cavalry was none other than the Second Guards Corps led by Ma Chao. It turned out that after the Battle of Da Nang City, it seemed that Huo Qubing led the entire army southward.
In fact, not long after the large army left the city, it immediately split into two after throwing off the Haiphong city spies. Lv Bu, head of the legion, led the four divisions to go northward secretly, lurking near Haiyun Mountain.
Only the First Division led by Huo Qubing really went south.
Only under the dispatch of this genius general, only one division set off a monstrous massacre in the southern border of Annan, and even misled the southern city because of his elusive skills.
The consecutive attacks on two cities in one day seemed to be carried out at the same time, but in fact, Huo Qubing used the powerful mobility of the tiger and leopard cavalry to beat the enemy with a time lag.
In this way, the cities in the south were convinced that the Great Xia Imperial Guard Corps was indeed active in the south. They never dreamed that there was only one division in the real army.
It was such a mistake in judgment that caused a catastrophe to the second Southern Expeditionary Army.
The surprise attack of Ma Chao's army was like a heavy punch, hitting the Southern Expedition Army's weakness fiercely, dealing a fatal blow to the opponent, and setting off wave after wave of killings among the crowd.
This night, the sky is destined to be blood-colored.
