Chapter 778

[PS: Don't blame the belated update! 】

For the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard, the scene in front of them is probably something they will never forget.

Right in front of their eyes, one by one, the dead comrades reappeared on the school field alive and well. This kind of mood is hard for anyone who is not in the army to understand.

The fallen Praetorian Guards miraculously revived again!

"You're back, comrade!"

The soldiers on the school field couldn't control their emotions and hugged each other.

Many of these comrades who "resurrected from the dead" died in battle while covering their evacuation. Seeing them again, the feelings of guilt of the soldiers of the Fifth Division finally eased a little.

I am even more grateful to the king who single-handedly facilitated this matter.

Unfortunately, Shihu, Lei Jingtian, Shanzhu and Shibao, the four senior aboriginal generals, are not in this resurrection sequence. Ouyang Shuo had no way of knowing whether the four young generals had died or were unfortunately captured.

Ouyang Shuo hoped that they were captured.

In that case, at least there is hope of returning to the team. If he was killed in battle, Ouyang Shuo would be powerless. As Ma Teng is a historical general, Ouyang Shuo could receive a system notification when he died in battle.

But there is no news from the three of Shi Hu.

The spies lurking in Yongren City are moving around to confirm their lives and deaths.

…………

After the soldiers of the Imperial Guard calmed down, Ouyang Shuo announced several temporary appointments on the spot, appointing Lu Bu to temporarily act as the division commander of the First Division of the First Corps of the Imperial Guard.

At the same time, it was ordered that the deputy heads of the second division and the third division should act as division heads temporarily. Since the deputy division head of the fourth division was Shi Bao, Ouyang Shuo could only appoint a brigade commander to act as the temporary division head.

There must be no generals in the army, this is an expedient measure.

As for the shortage of 15,000 captured soldiers, Ouyang Shuo did not recruit personnel from the Independent Division of the Imperial Guard to supplement them.

This position is reserved for them.

Ouyang Shuo believed that even if there were 15,000 fewer soldiers, the First Legion of the Imperial Guard was still a powerful army, capable of confronting any legion head-on.

Especially after experiencing these changes, the soldiers are even more motivated.

After adjusting the personnel arrangement, Ouyang Shuo was about to get up and leave the barracks, but was stopped by Huo Qubing.

Seeing that the First Corps of the Imperial Guard had been revived, Huo Qubing immediately called for a fight, "Your Majesty, the general is confident that he will recapture Dongchuan County within five days. Please agree with your Majesty."

"No." Ouyang Shuo shook his head resolutely.

"Your Majesty?!"

Huo Qubing was a little puzzled, and his eyes were even aggrieved. He thought that the emperor no longer trusted the Imperial Guards, and he no longer trusted him, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

"Talk this way." Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo turned around and left the school grounds, and came to a corner of the barracks. The accompanying guards immediately dispersed and guarded all directions, strictly forbidding anyone to approach.

Ouyang Shuo explained with a smile: "It's not that I don't believe you. Think about it, in the eyes of the enemy, the First Legion of the Imperial Guard is no longer in the order of battle. Now you are a surprise soldier, able to kill the enemy at a critical moment As for Dongchuan County, what is it?! If Swordsman City wants to occupy it, let them occupy it. As long as we win the main battlefield, it will not be a matter of minutes to take back Dongchuan County."

The ten-day battle of the Imperial Guard was not useless at all. One wiped out the local garrison, and the other destroyed all teleportation arrays except Yongren City.

In this way, if the enemy wants to do anything in Dongchuan County, I'm afraid it won't work.

Don't move Dongchuan County now, on the one hand, to avoid scaring the snakes, lest Jianxia City increase troops to Dongchuan County, threatening the safety of Kunming County; on the other hand, it can also paralyze the Allied forces and [Yunnan City-State], so that they can relax their vigilance.

That's why Ouyang Shuo focused his attention on Mengding County and Tengyue County. As long as Bai Qi's "Black Chess" plan can be implemented smoothly, Shanhai City has a great chance of winning.

The newly revived First Legion of the Imperial Guard occupies an important position in the "Black Chess" plan. Ouyang Shuo briefly explained the "Black Chess" plan to Huo Qubing, the more Huo Qubing listened, the brighter his eyes became.

At the end, there was a burst of brilliance in his eyes.

Huo Qubing took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, clasped his fists and said: "The general understands, everything is under the command of the command." A murderous intent rose in his eyes, and the target was the allied army and the allied army who had cheated them .

The next time we meet, we will have to make a good calculation.

Seeing that Huo Qubing understood, Ouyang Shuo was relieved, and finally said: "The soldiers of the First Legion, after all, have just experienced such a drastic change, and they may not be used to it for a while. Stay in the barracks with peace of mind, and help the soldiers adjust well. Remember, you must meet the most difficult combat missions in the best combat state. The best steel, of course, must be used at the most critical moment."

"promise!"

Huo Qubing solemnly gave a military salute.

Through this incident, Huo Qubing suddenly discovered that he was getting closer to the emperor, and he had a feeling of being in front of Emperor Wu of the Han in his heart.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, turned and left.

*************

Tengyue County, Tengchong City.

Di Chen, Chun Shenjun and other members of the [Yanhuang League], the [Yunnan] city-state lords represented by Qin Feng, and generals such as Wu Qi, Tian Dan, Lian Po, and Zhang Xutuo gathered together.

Its purpose is to discuss the next military action plan.

The success of the ambush in Yongren City is undoubtedly exciting, even Di Chen and the others looked a little excited. It's just that the words of Wu Qi, the commander of the Allied Army, poured cold water on everyone present.

"My lords, it's too early for us to be happy. The main force of Shanhai City's army is still intact, and the offensive and defensive balance between the enemy and us has not been broken. Shanhai City has suffered a hidden loss, and will definitely be more cautious. A lion is already difficult to deal with. Now, a prudent lion is even more troublesome."

"Therefore, whether the next round of plans can be successfully implemented is the key to this battle. The battle of Yongren City only opened the prelude to the war, and it is not the foundation for the overall war. If you want to win the big war, you have to Be prepared to pay a higher price. Otherwise, you may be overthrown by the enemy at any time."

When Wu Qi said "pay the price", several people in the hall had strange expressions. They are the lords of Dongchuan County, who are now polished commanders.

Although the city-state and [Yanhuang League] had already made a promise before the war, they would give them appropriate compensation. But the premise of all compensation is the victory of the war.

Don't look at the fierce calls made by the major media, who continue to sing bad news about Shanhai City. They themselves know how powerful Shanhai City is. Just as Wu Qi said, the loss of a Guard Corps is not enough to turn the tide of the battle.

In Wu Qi's words, he had to be prepared for even greater sacrifices.

As for who to sacrifice?

The former lords of Dongchuan County turned their attention to the lords of Mengding County, which has a lot of meaning.

[Yunnan City-state] was mentally prepared when it negotiated with [Yanhuang League]. Even with the help of the [Yanhuang League], it is impossible for the city-state to retreat under the iron heels of Shanhai City's army.

The only question is how much to pay and whose interests to sacrifice.

As the number one lord of the city-state, Qin Feng obviously played tricks on this matter, fearing that he secretly formed a tacit understanding with Di Chen and others. Otherwise, the allied forces and the allied forces would not have teleported to Tengchong City.

After all, Mengding County is the main battlefield preset by both sides.

Obviously on this matter, Qin Feng's thoughts have changed.

Several lords of Mengding County saw this, and their expressions became a little ugly, and some lords' eyes were already wandering. They knew what Wu Qi meant by a greater price.

After Dongchuan County, Mengding County might become the next victim.

[Yanhuang League] But it was a good plan, Dongchuan County was taken over by Shanhai City, but Jianxia City picked up a ready-made bargain.

I just don't know what tricks they are going to play in Mengding County.

It's just that no matter what the trick is, it will not be good news for the lords of Mengding County.

Sure enough, when Wu Qi revealed the battle plan, the faces of several lords in Mengding County immediately turned pale, like a group of poor people who were abandoned by the team and thrown into the wilderness.

In the closed meeting hall, a gust of cold wind blew up for no reason, making it chilly.

*************

In the following week, the Yunnan battlefield looked a little dull.

The left army led by Bai Qi is not progressing smoothly. Although the allied forces and the main force of the allied forces are concentrated in Tengyue County, they have not completely given up on Mengding County.

In addition to the local garrisons in each city, there are coalition forces going to reinforce them.

What's even worse is that according to the battle plan formulated by Wu Qi, before the arrival of Bai Qi's army in each territory, all the armed forces in the main city and subsidiary cities will be gathered and reorganized.

This armed force includes not only the defenders of the territory, but also local troops, and even government servants, guards recruited by chambers of commerce and aristocratic families, students from martial arts halls, wandering swordsmen from the territory, and so on.

In Wu Qi's words, anyone who has the strength to fight should not be let go.

Not only that, the territory also issued a temporary recruitment order to gather young and middle-aged men in the entire territory, distribute weapons and equipment to them, and form a militia team.

Other labor forces were also recruited to assist the army in defending the city.

To sum up Wu Qi's plan in one sentence, it is "all the people are soldiers and fight to the end".

This is really too scary.

Every time the left army captured a city, they had to work hard. Every time, the enemy took advantage of the convenience of defending the city to effectively kill the left army as much as possible.

That posture is really infiltrating.

In addition to the frontal attack, there are also a large number of guerrillas rioting against the food transport team, which is really miserable.

Fighting all the way down, the left army suffered heavy losses.

In desperation, Bai Qi could only transfer the Third Army of the Baotao Army as a reserve force to the front line for reinforcements. In this way, it can be regarded as slightly speeding up the attack speed.

Even so, the progress was far below expectations, and the casualties were heavy. In a week, the Left Route Army killed more than 30,000 soldiers. In this way, only a small half of Mengding County was won.

And the time points to Gaia for four years.
