Chapter 945 Condemnation

Even with Daxia's industrial level, it takes two months to manufacture a mimic aircraft, and countless precious metals are consumed.

One hundred mimetic aircraft is all Daxia can afford.

Including the precious magnetite, each mimic aircraft is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and a crash would be a huge loss. In addition to the aircraft, the pilot itself is also a precious asset.

To train a qualified driver and a qualified grenadier, at least three months of uninterrupted high-intensity training is required, and every training is a waste of money.

Crashes during training are common.

Therefore, the positioning of the flying squadron in the war is similar to the modern version of the strategic bomber, which is not prepared for conventional warfare, nor suitable for conventional warfare.

"Because I can't afford it!"

No matter how rich Daxia was, he didn't have the background to take hundreds of thousands of gold coins as a joke.

"That's prodigal!"

This time, in order to rescue Hu'er and his party, the flying squadron really tried their best. After crashing two aircrafts in succession, they finally blasted a bloody path on Central Avenue.

When Lai Nuer saw her, she didn't have time to sigh with emotion, so she immediately ordered a charge.

"kill!"

The 5,000 Longchamp warriors ready to go once again twisted into a rope, piercing the battlefield full of gunpowder smoke like sharp knives, taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, breaking through the enemy's defense line with crushing momentum, and finally broke out.

The army passed by, and the streets were in a mess.

The wreckage of aircraft, the ruins of collapsed houses, and the corpses of enemy soldiers were mixed together in a haphazard manner.

Smoke and dust billowed, and blood flowed like rivers.

I don't know, I thought there was an earthquake here.

After rushing out of the city in one breath, the soldiers of the Longxiang Army felt the joy of surviving the disaster, but what followed was exhaustion like a tide, especially for the wounded soldiers, it was even more difficult.

The repeated battles, coupled with the torment of being in a desperate situation, almost drained the last drop of physical energy of the soldiers.

Lai Hu'er was riding on a war horse, his bright bright armor was stained with blood, he glanced at the tired soldiers, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and said with a sigh of relief: "Boys, keep gritting your teeth and persevere, we retreat to Ganluo Pass."

The enemy army was just stunned by the flying squadron, and they may catch up at any time, so they have not yet completely escaped the crisis. If they are discouraged at this time, it will really fall short.

"promise!"

The soldiers of the Longxiang Army are worthy of being elite soldiers in all battles. Deling, who looked like they couldn't move at first, suddenly burst out with new potential from nowhere, and suddenly became full of energy.

This kind of battle that breaks through the limit of physical fitness is also a rare tempering for the soldiers. After this battle, I am afraid that many soldiers will use this to break through the bottleneck and advance to a higher level.

Lai Hu'er was in a hurry to go back, but also unwilling to change the owner of the pass that had been won so hard.

The attack on Ganluo City is already shameful enough, if he loses Ganluo Pass, which he finally won, then he will really have no face to face the king and the whole army when he came to protect his son.

A group of people did not delay any longer and withdrew to Ganluo Pass.

…………

Not long after Long Xiang's army left, Wei Yan personally led his troops to catch up. Seeing the enemy's retreating figure, Wei Yan shook his head in disappointment, knowing that it was hopeless to regain Ganluo Pass.

Seeing this, the lieutenant general smiled and said: "The general has severely injured the enemy this time, which is already a great achievement."

Wei Yan was not lacking in pride in his heart, being able to defeat the mighty Great Xia Army's spirit was enough for Wei Yan to show off for half his life, and said: "Let's withdraw too!"

There is no wall in Ganluo City, so it is impossible to defend it. This time, it has suffered a lot from the Children's Protection Department. When the follow-up troops catch up, they will definitely not give up.

That being the case, how could Wei Yan stay any longer.

This time, they set up a campaign to encircle and suppress Long Xiang's army, and only eliminated 2,000 enemies, while the Swordsman City army itself lost more than 4,000 people. If the 2,000 garrison troops are counted, the loss will be even greater.

Fortunately, the greatest significance of this battle was to frustrate the Great Xia army, and the casualties were second.

"Walk!"

Wei Yan patted his horse and turned back to the city again.

Before leaving, Wei Yan ordered the soldiers to carry away the remains of the aircraft that crashed in the city. This should be the first time that the Great Xia Mimetic Aircraft has fallen outside. Bringing it back to the main city should have some research value.

The Battle of Ganluo City has come to an end.

The next day, Hu Yihuang led the Central Army of the Second Army of the Longxiang Army to Ganluo Pass and joined the vanguard. Seeing that Wei Yan's army retreated, Lai Huer would not be polite, and finally "taken" Ganluo City.

Seeing the Great Xia army go and come back, but their own army has long since disappeared. For the people of Ganluo City who have been worried for two days, their moods have changed a lot.

When he arrived in the city, he saw that the two mimetic aircrafts that had fallen had disappeared. Lai Huer had a solemn expression on his face. He did not dare to hide anything, so he wrote a report on the detailed situation of the battle and submitted it to the headquarters of the theater for disposal.

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

The news that the Great Xia vanguard was ambushed in Shu and suffered "heavy" losses, quickly spread in the wilderness under the arrangement of caring people, causing a great disturbance.

In the eyes of the outside world, Daxia dispatched four field legions this time, with nearly 300,000 troops, not to mention the final decisive battle, it would not be difficult to win the fortress at the checkpoint ahead.

Who knew there would be such twists and turns.

As soon as the news came out, there was endless applause for Wei Yan and Swordsman City, and the public opinion in the wilderness finally stopped leaning towards Daxia, giving Swordsman City a little respite.

This local war also made this wilderness war more complicated and confusing.

"Who wins the deer, it's still unknown!"

…………

Southern Shonan Province, Caiyun City.

Seeing that the Great Xia army suffered setbacks in Shu, Caiyun Zhinan's confidence doubled, and he was ready to stroke the tiger's beard of Great Xia.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

Caiyun Zhinan ordered: "Order the first and second legions to gather at the designated location and be on standby at any time."

"promise!"

At this festival, Caiyunzhinan is ready to take a trip into this muddy water.

"It's easier to fish in muddy water!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Caiyun Zhinan's mouth, as if he had a plan in mind, and he didn't know what to plan.

…………

Dali County, Yuncheng.

Yuncheng was formed by the temporary merger of four territories in Dali County, with 50,000 soldiers. Its territory includes all land boundaries except Dali King City and its satellite cities, and its area is second only to Kunming County.

Now that he has "sold" the land to the Yanhuang League, the lord of Yuncheng, Xiaomutuo, has no right to make his own decisions. On this day, under the instruction of Di Chen, the big boss behind the scenes, Xiao Mutuo formally submitted an application for asylum to the Dali court.

After a while, the Dali court approved the application.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the Imperial Guards of the Fifty Thousand Kings City quietly left the city and rushed to gather in Yuncheng. At the same time, [Xiao Meng] also took action, and began to deploy elite groups. The following dungeons were used as a cover, and the satellite cities were released in batches.

The layout of [Yanhuang League] in Dali County is gradually kicking off.

A premeditated storm is about to blow towards Daxia.

…………

September 21st, Shanhai City, Summer Palace.

After receiving the battle report and the letter of indictment from Lai Nuer, Bai Qi, the commander of the Longxiang Army and the commander of the Yunnan Theater Command, dared not do anything special, and instead reported it to the Privy Council, asking for instructions on how to deal with Lai Nuer.

Minister of Military Affairs Du Ruhui received the report, frowning tightly, also hesitating.

Lai Hu'er is a general who the king specially wanted to come from the Sui Dynasty. He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility as soon as he arrived. How could he have thought that because of a mistake, he would rush forward and make a big mistake.

The person with the most dull face at the moment is probably the king.

Therefore, Du Ruhui really didn't want to bring this matter up to the king at this time, but Lai Hu'er, as the regiment commander, and the fourth-rank general Zhenwei, the Privy Council had no right to deal with it directly.

Going round and round, it will eventually be presented to the king.

In this way, there is a match between the monarch and his ministers in the imperial study.

After hearing Du Ruhui's report, Ouyang Shuo remained expressionless, and said calmly, "According to military law, if you underestimate the enemy and advance aggressively, causing the battle to suffer setbacks and loss of troops, how should we deal with it?"

Du Ruhui's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Could it be that the king wants to kill Ma Su with tears?!"

"Report to Your Majesty, the title should be taken away, dismissed from office and investigated." Du Ruhui said cautiously.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and was about to give an order.

Du Ruhui saw him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Huh?" Ouyang Shuo frowned.

Du Ruhui's palms were sweating because of the fluttering look in the eyes of the king, and he said bravely: "The battle ahead is in full swing, and it is a taboo for military strategists to withdraw before the battle. Please take the side of the battle ahead, please spare me for now. Once, let him commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, and deal with them after the war."

Du Ruhui's words seemed to be reckless, but he actually understood the Sacred Heart, and if he really forced the King to deal with Lai'er so ruthlessly, it might damage the King's holy name.

Ouyang Shuo took a deep look at Du Ruhui, pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to Tsing Yi, a scholar of the Miwen Pavilion, "Preparing an imperial edict!"

"Yes!" Tsing Yi nodded.

"Decree: General Zhenwei, the commander of the Second Legion of the Longxiang Army came to protect the son. He was eager for quick success and underestimated the enemy, causing the war to be frustrated and the soldiers to die. This crime is unforgivable. I will take the position of the commander of the regiment to protect the son and be demoted to deputy. Army commander. Hu Yihuang, commander of the first division, was promoted to deputy army commander, temporarily acting as army commander. At the same time, the title of General Huer Zhenwei was taken away, and he was fined for one year as a punishment."

This is already a heavy punishment, enough for Lai Huer to remember for a lifetime.

After hearing this, Du Ruhui bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is a sage." Lai Hu'er was demoted to deputy army commander. Although his face was dull, he still had a chance to make a contribution.

Furthermore, the king has not appointed a new candidate for the head of the legion, so it can be seen that there is still room for Lai Huer.

Ouyang Shuo was not relaxed, and said: "For this king, tell Lai Hu'er that if he can't make meritorious service in this battle and redeem his crime, after the battle, he can go back to the Sui Dynasty!"

"promise!"

Du Ruhui responded carefully, knowing that the king was really angry this time. Lai Hu'er was really going to be sent back to the Sui Dynasty, fearing that she would no longer have the face to show up in the wilderness, and had to commit suicide.

…………

Early the next morning, Wang Zhao was sent to Ganluo City.

Lai Hu'er accepted the move, and then listened to the king's dictation. He was so excited that he knelt down on one knee, bowed towards the south, choked up and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the king, and the general will be heartbroken to repay the king's kindness!"

This time, Lai Huer had no way out.
