Chapter 628 Cruel Means
The war has gradually evolved into a confrontation of wills.
Whoever shows fatigue first, even if there is even a trace of timidity, will lose.
Fortunately, the Eastern Route Army has an experienced general in charge, who can adjust the combat strategy in time according to the battlefield situation. After Zheng He fine-tuned the artillery and other departments, he then issued a military order: "Vice General Pei!"
"The end is here!"
"With your personal guards, reserve team, and 2,000-sword shield soldiers, you suddenly thrust in from the two wings, and you must hit with one blow, completely defeating the enemy's will to fight, understand?" Zheng He pressed all available troops, Take the initiative.
"promise!"
Pei Donglai had no doubts in the governor Zheng He.
"Remember, you only have half an hour." Zheng He's expression was not at all relaxed. The entire Eastern Route Army will have a tight string that may be broken at any time.
"Understood!" Pei Donglai turned and left.
Five minutes later, all the ministries were assembled. Like two sharp arrows, they suddenly rushed out of the position, piercing the sides of the alien army from the left and right sides.
Because time was limited, Pei Donglai led his troops and fought very fiercely and resolutely. Zheng He, who was in the middle command, commanded the archers, artillery and firecrackers to provide cooperation and cover.
Facing the surprise attack from the two wings, the Alien Legion was in chaos. In the final analysis, this is just a group of adventure players. It is basically the first time they are on the battlefield, and it is all due to their passion that they can survive until now.
In terms of tactical execution, the Alien Legion can't even match a single recruit.
The two wings were attacked, and the attack in the center was repeatedly blocked. The enemy's position in front of him was like a devil, constantly devouring the lives of his comrades, but without the slightest fatigue, he stood firm.
Pessimism and despair began to spread in the army, and the casualties increased exponentially.
In this way, morale dropped to freezing point.
"Get out!" Someone suggested.
If we continue to resist, we will only increase unnecessary sacrifices.
"withdraw!"
With tears in his eyes, the player slowly withdrew from the battlefield.
This time, they did not leave the battlefield because of fear. They are not deserters, but they can't see the dawn of victory, so they can only retreat strategically, back to Fengshan County, and then make further calculations.
No one can criticize such an army.
"You guys have done enough!"
"Welcome back our hero!"
Numerous female compatriots gave applause, praise and hugs to the withdrawn soldiers.
The will of the star country is far from being destroyed.
It's just that two successive defeats have seriously damaged the confidence of Star Country players. At the end of the war, nearly half of the combat professional players in Star Country were completely buried on the battlefield.
Of the 40,000 Alien Legion, less than 10,000 came back alive.
A sense of tragedy hovered over Fengshan County, which could not dissipate for a long time.
In this way, the player's resentment towards [Temasek Mercenary Corps] is naturally even worse. The accusations against [Temasek Mercenary Corps] on the forum are even stronger than the accusations against Shanhai City.
In Fengshan County, there are various negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, and sadness. It was in such a mood that Chen Guang led the [Temasek Mercenary Corps] elite group to Fengshan County.
After getting the news, the whole city was shocked!
【Temasek Mercenary Corps】This time it can be described as the best team, with a total of 50,000 combat professional players and more than 10,000 life professional players. The lineup exceeds the sum of the previous two players.
There are less than 3,000 reserve teams left behind in the Lion City.
In this way, the rumors are naturally self-defeating.
No one can blame [Temasek Mercenary Group].
Inside Fengshan County, once again filled with enthusiasm, the previous pessimism was swept away.
As an empire in the hearts of Star Country players, [Temasek Mercenary Corps] is an invincible and invincible existence in the eyes of Star Country players. Even the lord of Fengshan County would be shorter when he saw Chen Guang.
Without any obstacles, Chen Guang successfully took over the command of the Alien Legion.
In Chen Guang's heart, there was no trace of complacency.
From the mouth of the lord of Fengshan County, Chen Guang obtained the detailed frontline battle report. After listening, the whole person fell silent. The strength and tenacity of the enemy army was completely beyond his expectation.
Chen Guang boarded the city wall, looking at the dark enemy positions outside the city, his face twitched. In less than an hour, the position of the Eastern Route Army has taken on a completely new look.
The entire position is surrounded by a huge arc.
Along the arc-shaped highlands, a hundred cannons are lined up one by one, and the cold muzzles are daunting. The most important thing is that there are still people busy on the ground, continuing to strengthen the fortress.
Chen Guang is not an ordinary player, and he will never be impulsive. Rushing out of the city to attack such a position is simply death. The huge arc is like a big mouth, capable of devouring all invading enemies.
It's like the enemy has dug a hole, waiting for Star Country players to jump into it.
Therefore, Chen Guang made up his mind to defend the city and never take the initiative to attack. In this way, Xingguo will remain invincible, and once the enemy's supplies cannot be supplied, they will naturally be defeated.
It has to be said that Chen Guang made a good plan.
*************
At noon, the Eastern Route Army positions.
"call!"
Seeing the retreat of the enemy troops, Zheng He's fair face flashed a trace of relief. This confrontation of the will to fight, under his ingenious arrangement, the East Route Army won a complete victory.
As a result, the Eastern Route Army gained a rare respite.
The hot artillery can be rested; the newly transported artillery can also be deployed on the high ground in time.
When the war ended, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
As the winner, Zheng He ordered the sailors to rush to the battlefield and take back all the weapons and armor left by the Alien Legion. More importantly, recover as many arrows as you can.
As for the soldiers, hurry up, rest and adjust, and replenish some energy by the way.
The position destroyed by the Alien Legion was repaired at an astonishing speed. The star country players on the city wall could only watch helplessly as the enemy army on the opposite side regained their vitality step by step.
When Chen Guang led his troops to arrive, everything was over.
"Damn it!" Some people hated it, but there was nothing they could do.
In fact, the Eastern Route Army has done far more than that.
Taking this opportunity, the East Route Army led by Zheng He not only successfully established more solid fortifications, but also sent troops to search for food and supplies in the villages outside the city.
Some aboriginal young men in the village were also recruited to the battlefield by the army to assist the army and continue to strengthen the fortifications, such as digging trenches, making horses and so on.
The entire fortification is getting more and more perfect.
Some particularly strong men were even asked by Zheng He to put on armor collected from the battlefield, pick up spears, and form a servant army.
For farmers, there is actually no difference between national wars and lord wars. Their purpose is nothing more than survival, and they can compromise everything in front of survival.
After all, they are not sergeants.
Therefore, the formation of the servant army was extremely smooth, but its combat effectiveness was really worrying, perhaps even inferior to the alien army on the opposite side.
Naturally, Zheng He would not expect the servant army to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. He formed the servant army for another purpose.
In addition, among the strong men, there are also some star country adventure players. These players were either fighting monsters in the wilderness, or doing tasks in the village, and were all brought back to the camp by the soldiers of the Eastern Route Army.
They can be said to have suffered an indiscriminate disaster.
Among the players, there are both combat professional players and life professional players.
Throughout the afternoon, the East Route Army was active among the villages. In this way, a total of more than 3,000 people were recruited for labor, more than 2,000 servants were formed, and more than 200 players were captured.
It can be said to be quite rewarding.
Except for Fengshan County, the entire territory has become the territory of the East Route Army, and they can gallop at will.
Facing the "violence" of the Eastern Route Army, the players in Fengshan County were all angry and angry. If Chen Guang hadn't come forward to suppress them, they would have rushed out of the city gate long ago and fought the East Route Army again.
Chen Guang was also very angry. Rationally, he knew in his heart that the purpose of the enemy's doing this was to draw them out for a decisive battle. But emotionally, I was still very angry.
Seeing the compatriots of Xingguo, especially the players, being driven into prison camps and being mistreated, I really can't bear it.
The hatred between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper.
...
The Xingguo players were angry, and Zheng He was also having a hard time.
Zheng He didn't expect that the new Alien Legion would be so calm. No matter how he provoked them, the other party would not move, determined to defend to the end. After storming Fengshan County, Zheng He was not sure of winning. In this way, he is responsible for the task of containing the Alien Legion, and he is afraid that he will fail.
Zheng He was very worried when he thought that the prince was still waiting for his good news. Seeing that the sun was setting and the first day was coming to an end, Zheng He could no longer remain calm.
"Captain, there will be a plan in the end." Pei Donglai said suddenly, "It's just that this plan will harm the peace of heaven."
"Hurry up!" Zheng He said anxiously.
"Didn't we capture a group of aliens? The general thought, if we bring all these aliens to the front of the position and execute them one by one. Then threaten the enemy and execute one person every ten minutes." Pei Donglai said coldly , "If the last general doesn't believe it, the enemy can still hold his breath."
"..."
When Zheng He heard this, his face twitched, and he was speechless for a while. Fundamentally speaking, Zheng He is not a qualified general, because his heart is not cruel enough.
In history, Zheng He was an envoy of peace.
If the main general at this time was replaced by Bai Qi, or even Han Xin and other generals, they would have adopted Pei Donglai's suggestion without saying a word.
But Zheng He couldn't.
If it hadn't been for the previous attack on Annan, Ouyang Shuo would have given Zheng He a vivid live war lesson. It is even said that Zheng He will have psychological barriers if he attacks Xingguo now.
Now he was asked to give the order to strangle the prisoners one by one, which was really difficult for others.
"Let me think about it." Zheng He said with difficulty.
"Captain, we can't procrastinate any longer!" Pei Donglai's eyes were a little anxious, "If we continue to procrastinate, it will definitely affect the direction of the entire war. So, how can we explain to the prince?!"
What Pei Donglai said made Zheng He's heart tremble.
After a long while, Zheng He said in a shy voice, "If that's the case, leave this matter to the general!"
"The last general takes orders!" Pei Donglai was decisive.
