Chapter 147 Crisis

The Great Xia Kingdom is in turmoil, and Fu Minghui, who has just become a Taiwei, is busy forming more Yulin Army, but at this moment, few people are willing to join the army! The common people are very smart, the Great Xia Kingdom is about to suffer civil strife, joining the army at this time is going to court death.

Therefore, Fu Minghui was really sad. Looking at the Yulin Army with less than 10,000 and varying quality, Fu Minghui could only sigh and sigh again.

Helpless, Fu Minghui approached Shangguan Guang as a Taiwei; Shangguan Guang is a general, and he is supposed to obey the Taiwei's orders. It's a pity that Shangguan Guang thanked the guests behind closed doors - no see! Fu Minghui was so angry that he really wanted to chop the bastard with a knife. It's a pity that there are too many bastards like Daxia now! A soldier is a king.

It wasn't until this moment that Fu Minghui understood that being a high official is not easy! Wanting to be an evergreen tree in politics is not something ordinary people can do!

And what about the South, Nanyang County and the Kong family? Although the Kong family agreed to send troops, and indeed sent troops, the Kong family did not directly attack the Zhongshan County army, but slowly oppressed from the rear; advancing a little every day, and dawdling every day. However, the momentum is magnificent!

This kind of oppression made Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, anxious; it also made Zhongshan County continue to strengthen the battle with Anyang, striving to get through Anyang and contact Cai Guo as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, the Kong family was simply "driving" the soldiers of Zhongshan County to attack Anyang, with extremely vicious intentions.

And the reality is indeed as "designed" by the Confucian family. Although Anyang can temporarily block Zhongshan County's attack with the help of a large number of talismans, artillery and machine guns, it is in danger. The 200,000 army, the 200,000 desperate army, is not a joke. The current Anyang is like a flat boat in a storm, which may capsize at any time.

As for Li Liang, Li Liang is now the same as Fu Minghui. Many military powers in Kaiping County are not under Li Liang's control. At this critical time, many generals who usually seemed to be obedient also pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Such a situation made Anyang even worse.

Fortunately, fortunately, Anyang was the first to solve the problem in Luliang County, at least half of the crisis was resolved; but the current situation is not too good, Anyang is still very dangerous!

Can't delay any longer!

In desperation, Xu Ren had no choice but to think of Luliang County Inspector Zhao Guoshan and Major General Zhao Youdan; to be exact, Major General Zhao Youdan!

Zhao Youdan, who was confiscated with true essence, was brought before Xu Ren, Xia Qingqing, and Yan Ze'an.

At this moment, Zhao Youdan looked haggard, and no one could not be haggard in such a situation; not to mention that he was almost killed by artillery before.

Xu Ren was the first to ask, "Zhao Youdan, both of you father and son are now condemned to death and life. Do you know?"

Zhao Youdan snorted coldly and remained silent.

Xu Ren waved his feather fan, "Now there is an opportunity to atone for your crimes. This opportunity will not only allow you and your father to get rid of the crimes, but also regain your prosperity and wealth, and even be rewarded by His Majesty. How about it?"

Zhao Youdan is not a waste either, narrowing his eyes, "You want me to be a puppet?"

Xu Ren smiled slightly and clapped his hands gently; the door opened slowly, and a group of Yingying and Yanyan walked in, but there were more than a dozen wives and concubines of Zhao Youdan.

"Lang Jun..." "Officer..." "Husband..."

A coquettish voice surrounded Zhao Youdan.

Zhao Youdan inquired one by one, and got the news that made Zhao Youdan gratified; Anyang protected all the wives and concubines of Zhao Guoshan, Zhao Youdan and other high-level officials, and did not suffer. In such a situation, Zhao Youdan had no choice but to have a good impression of Anyang.

Xu Ren smiled confidently: "Zhao Youdan, have you thought about it?"

Zhao Youdan took a deep breath, "Tell me, how to do it!"

"Dealing with smart people is easy. Two conditions, swear, and integrate Luliang County to attack Zhongshan County! You only have three days!"

"Yes, but I need to take Li Yuanming away. Li Yuanming is well aware of the situation in Luliang County. Only Li Yuanming can integrate Luliang County as soon as possible."

Xu Ren narrowed his eyes, "You mean, as long as I can get Li Yuanming to work for Anyang, you father and son will be useless?"

Zhao Youdan was taken aback for a moment, then snorted bitterly, but stopped talking.

Xu Ren immediately ordered Cheng Jiming to send Zhao Youdan back to Nanliang Mansion, the Luliang County Government, by aircraft, and notified Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing, who were stationed in Nanliang Mansion, to immediately lead soldiers to attack Zhongshan County from the side, and must disrupt Zhongshan County deployment. The worst is the worst, and Zhongshan County will have to divide its troops and its logistics will be chaotic.

After Zhao Youdan left, Xu Ren immediately went to the front line in person, leaving Xia Qingqing and Yan Ze'an to manage the rear; but Xu Ren had to be used on the front line. Governance and logistical guarantees are the responsibilities of Xia Qingqing and Yan Ze'an; but the frontline battles are Xu Ren's domain.

There are now two generals stationed on the front line in Anyang, one is Cheng Jiming and the other is Wang Jian; there are only a small number of troops guarding the Anyang border. After all, Emperor Cai made an oath, and this oath is still guaranteed; but the premise is that the Zhongshan County rebels cannot break through Anyang.

Standing on a flying magic weapon, Xu Ren looked at the battlefield. The 200,000 army in Zhongshan County is not fake. Maybe these soldiers have never been on the battlefield, but the pressure of 200,000 still makes Anyang overwhelmed—there are only less than 400,000 people in Anyang.

The reason why Anyang can withstand the pressure now is mainly because of the spiritual shock brought by the artillery. These Zhongshan County soldiers had never experienced a cruel battlefield, so they were a little cowardly for a while. But after more than two days of fighting, the soldiers in Zhongshan County are also rapidly maturing. Don't forget, every soldier here has a cultivation level, and there are many in the foundation building stage!

Xu Ren took a deep breath. If things don't turn around, Anyang will fall in at most three days! The 200,000 army is too scary, Anyang, I really can't stand it!

And Zhongshan County also has its own gunpowder, as well as firecrackers-they are the technology sent by Cai Guo. Even Zhongshan County had "primitive artillery", that is, artillery that fired solid projectiles. And Zhongshan County's artillery technology is also maturing rapidly, and it has gradually posed a threat to Anyang!

The artillery roared continuously, and the Anyang soldiers who temporarily had the artillery advantage fired desperately, firing during the day and at night. This temporarily withstood the pressure. However, the soldiers on the Anyang side had not rested for more than two consecutive days, and they were beginning to get tired.

Suddenly a quarrel came from a distance, and soon there was an emergency signal. Xu Ren's heart sank, this was not the first time, Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, was not an idiot, and of course he would not "properly" send soldiers to death.

Shi Chengsong formed several commando teams composed entirely of masters from the foundation-building period, carrying talisman seals and magic spells, and using a large number of magic weapons to make assaults.

Many of these magic weapons are disposable and self-destructing magic weapons! Maybe the power of the self-detonating magic weapon is very low, maybe the speed of the self-detonating magic weapon is very slow, and the attack distance is limited, maybe the cost of the self-detonating magic weapon is very high, and it will even damage the spiritual consciousness of the masters in the foundation building stage; but no matter what, this is indeed true. Useful means!

A piece of low-quality self-explosive artifacts flew towards the Anyang defenders, and the Anyang defenders immediately released a large number of talismans, and a "long dragon" of ice appeared to surround and seal these inferior magic artifacts.

But in the next moment, these inferior magical artifacts exploded, and the explosive magical artifacts propped up the ice dragon from the inside, and countless cold air overflowed, which affected the Anyang defenders. But the elites of Zhongshan County in the rear took the opportunity to attack...

Rapid-fire machine guns and bed crossbows began to show their power, causing many foundation-building masters in Zhongshan County to be injured; but these foundation-building masters insisted on charging forward with talismans, spells, and true energy.

In the sky, a magic weapon of war arrived in time, and the temporarily installed 47mm rapid-fire gun repelled the enemy's surprise attack in time, and caused the enemy to pay a heavy price. Half of the masters in the foundation stage remained forever. But their raid this time brought hundreds of casualties to Anyang.

Such raids happen almost all the time, and sometimes multiple foundation-building teams raid at the same time. In more than two days, Anyang has paid more than 2,000 deaths and injuries; although Zhongshan County's foundation-building masters have died more than 300!

Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, has gone crazy, Xu Ren knows this very well! It's been two days, no matter how stupid Shi Chengsong is, he should know that Luliang County is over, and Shi Chengsong's advisor, Gu Songfeng, is also dead! Shi Chengsong, who had no way out, would only go even crazier, even dragging Zhongshan County to be buried with him, and maybe even Daxia Kingdom to be buried with him.

In Zhongshan County, there is also a capable person from Cai Guo-Ye Mingquan, Qing of Honglu Temple; with this person behind to fuel the flames, one can imagine the crisis Anyang is facing.

Originally, Anyang had hoped that Kaiping County in the north, that is, Li Liang, could provide enough support; as a result, many local defenders in Kaiping County listened to the instructions and did not listen to the announcement-everyday, everything is easy to talk about, but at critical times, they will pick up their picks!

Li Liang has only taken over Kaiping County for more than half a year, and now he can only control dozens of miles around the Kaiping County Government, that's all. Li Liang sent only 20,000 soldiers, mainly recruits.

At this moment, even Xu Ren was helpless, the difference was too great, and it was difficult to take any measures to remedy it. Anyang is facing a catastrophe, a catastrophe!
