Chapter 246 Retiring without a Fight, Next
Murong Feilong led the soldiers to charge quickly, trying to buy time for the troops behind to prepare for the battle. Overhead are planes going back and forth, and machine guns and aerial bombs are constantly poisoning the ground.
Murong Feilong gritted his teeth and took the lead to charge forward, using the ground and spells to hide his figure. Fortunately, there are only 2,000 personal soldiers, and they are all experts above the seventh floor of the Qi refining stage, so there is no problem in hiding.
Rapidly moving forward for about two miles, Murong Feilong froze for an instant. Just a mile or so ahead, thousands of masters in the Foundation Establishment Stage spread over a small hill like a tide.
"Foundation period!"
"It's all in the foundation building period!"
"Three thousand, no, five thousand, no, eight thousand... Tens of thousands of masters in the foundation period! This is Anyang's army!"
"Can we win?"
"I heard that Anyang doesn't abuse prisoners!" This irresponsible answer broke the line of defense in the hearts of most of the soldiers.
On the side of Anyang, the forward general saw the enemy, and first roared: "The surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Tens of thousands of foundation-building masters shouted in unison, and their momentum soared into the sky. The overwhelming pressure rolled over the souls of the soldiers in Songzhou County.
"Dangling..." The flying sword in someone's hand fell - it's not that I'm cowardly, but our 2,000-odd qi-refinement period, fighting against the 10,000 well-armed masters of the foundation-building period, is this simply sending us to death! Confrontation is dead and useless, so why don't I take a step back—surrender.
There was one who threw the flying sword—whether he was frightened or threw away the weapon, anyway, there was a leader—the remaining two thousand soldiers interpreted the truth that "the power of role models is infinite" with practical actions.
Wow...
Of the more than 2,000 soldiers, at least 1,500 or 600 threw down Feijian; the remaining 400 or 500 were all Murong Feilong's true direct descendants. Everyone looked at Murong Feilong with their eyes and waited for the decision of the general.
Murong Feilong looked at the Anyang soldiers approaching rapidly, and finally made a decision: "Withdraw!"
Ma Dan, surrender is absolutely impossible, at least Murong Feilong can't surrender, and the family is staying under Gao Bin's hands, it is really better to die than surrender, otherwise the family doesn't know what will happen. Xu Ren knows Gao Bin, Murong Feilong also knows Gao Bin, Gao Bin is not a kind person.
Murong Feilong took the lead, and the rest of the people suddenly realized - I forgot, besides surrendering, they can still run away! So, the remaining four or five hundred people ran wildly. Those who threw away their weapons suddenly came to their senses and ran wildly; some ran backwards, and some went straight into the forest.
Seeing this, the general in Anyang yelled: Don't worry about running away, attack the Songzhou army camp, cut through the camp, and disperse their military deployment!
Tens of thousands of elites from the foundation-building period rushed forward in a mighty manner; many elite soldiers from Songzhou County who fled ahead were quickly caught up and killed directly; at this time, there was no chance to capture prisoners or anything.
Only the six or seven hundred people who surrendered at the beginning but did not run away were spared. After being sealed off, they were still on the ground, waiting for the large troops behind.
But on Gao Bin's side, although he seized the time to rectify the army, he did not rectify the army for the purpose of fighting, but for running away! Just as Xu Ren expected, Gao Bin came here to pick up a bargain. Now, he didn't find the cheap one, and instead became the first target of Anyang's attack. After just thinking briefly, Gao Bin made a decision—let's stop playing!
Seeing Anyang's fierce attack, two hundred planes had swooped back and forth twice, Gao Bin finally became anxious. Even before the army was ready, he led about 10,000 soldiers and fled in embarrassment. For the rest, let the generals lead their teams to flee for their lives.
Gao Bin walked on the front foot, and 10,000 elite soldiers from the foundation-building period in Anyang were killed on the back foot; what he passed was like chopping melons and vegetables.
Gao Bin himself took the lead and ran away, so one can imagine what will happen to the people behind, not to mention the vanguard in Anyang, who is a master of the 10,000 foundation-building stage! The army formed by masters in the foundation building period, mother, is too scary.
The army of Songzhou County, which claimed to be 200,000, but was actually over 100,000, was defeated without any decent resistance. However, this defeat also preserved the military strength of Songzhou County, because Anyang did not have time to chase the defeated soldiers.
According to the military plan made by Xu Ren, the soldiers of Songzhou County were dispersed and repelled to prevent Gao Bin from being stabbed in the back; then the army went directly south to attack the flank of Nanyang County - this was the focus of this battle plan. But there are still a few elites chasing the defeated army in Songzhou County, at least to prevent them from tipping off.
Therefore, seeing the defeat of Songzhou County, Gao Bin took the lead in running away, and Anyang's 10,000 foundation-building masters continued to sprint forward without stopping. Sprinting about three hundred miles forward from here is where the army of Nanyang County is located.
Three hundred miles, one hundred and fifty kilometers, is really not a thing for the masters of the foundation stage, and they passed by gritting their teeth.
"March quickly, rush! As long as the war is won, everyone will be the team leader, and everyone will get five bottles of foundation building liquid!"
"Aww..." As soon as the reward came out, tens of thousands of elites roared and sprinted towards the south like a tiger descending a mountain. Five bottles of foundation building fluid, even if you don't use it yourself, it's good for your children to use; if you don't have children, it's good to sell it!
The business in Anyang pays attention to the buy-it-yourself price—one hundred thousand taels of gold is one hundred thousand taels of gold, and a bottle of foundation building liquid is priced at 100,000 taels. Regardless of the cost price, 100,000 taels of gold is the wholesale price. Monopolizing business is just so arrogant and willful.
The 10,000 base-building elites in the front accelerated and charged; the mechanized troops in the rear, except for a few protecting artillery locomotives, about 10,000 infantry also directly abandoned their vehicles and ran wildly on the rough road. Although these more than 10,000 elite soldiers are not from the foundation building period, they are all fully armed and equipped with magic weapon suits.
At the same time, the train in Anyang was rumbling, transporting another 50,000 elite and 150,000 reserve troops to the south, preparing to compete with the main force of Nanyang County and the Kong family.
The war changes brought about by industrial development were applied to the extreme by Li Xian, and the whole of Anyang was running like a machine. Hundreds of thousands of troops set off in the morning and arrived in the south at noon, confronting the Confucian army across the border.
A large number of military resources are continuously sent from Anyang and Dingshan City to the front line.
On the border between Anyang and Nanyang counties, there was a confrontation in the afternoon of that day, shortly after the defeat of the Songzhou army.
In the Nanyang County position, Kong Donglai, Kong Yingzhi, Kong Yingcai, and the three generals of the Kong family: the coach Nan Gongzhi, the left general Kong Zhiying, the right general Chen Jin, and the rest of the generals were all discussed.
Finally, it was Kong Yingzhi who said, "Anyang is so fast. The 200,000 troops arrived at the front line in half a day. Our plan to break through the Anyang defense line in one go may not work."
Kong Yingcai stood up and said, "Dongyuan County and Songzhou County should be ordered to attack Anyang from the side. Otherwise, we will directly face Anyang's 200,000 troops. Even if we win in the end, we will suffer heavy losses.
We must tell Songzhou County and Dongwon County that if we miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult for us to destroy Anyang, and Anyang will inevitably retaliate wildly. If you don't want to perish in the future, you must work together and conquer Anyang now! "
Kong Donglai had a calm demeanor, but at this moment he was unavoidably a little anxious. If Kong Donglai heard the phrase "Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs", he would definitely praise him - he said it to his heart.
The plan was very good at the beginning, everyone besieged Anyang together, and a million troops attacked Anyang, and it was bound to fall in one fell swoop. After that, everyone will make a copy of those technologies;
Needless to say, such a plan is indeed very feasible; and this plan has also been widely recognized from the beginning. But in the actual implementation process, something went wrong - we only discussed the results, but did not discuss the process!
What Songzhou County and Gao Bin think about is: watch others fight, and secretly take advantage of it. That's not too bad.
The troops of Dongyuan County and Yuan's family stopped moving after they entered Luliang County; they didn't reply after several reminders. In fact, the meaning of the Yuan family is already very obvious-you fight, and while Anyang's military strength is tense, we can swallow Luliang County quickly. As for defeating Anyang, sorry, I never thought about it!
Yes, Dongyuan County is by the sea, so I really dare not completely turn against Anyang. Anyang's ironclad ships often appear on the coast of Dongwon County.
As for Guangling County and the Wang family, they were not expected to contribute at all; they were just asked to make a statement and not to stab a knife in the back.
As for the First Prince, that is, Baofeng County and Xin'an County, they are also in trouble now - Li Yulong has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor, so the First Prince cannot sit idly by anyway.
The most important thing is that when Li Yulong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he announced that the Great Xia Kingdom had completely become a thing of the past, and that Cai Guo could go south at any time and attack the city. The eldest prince relied on Cai Guo in the north and Chen Guo in the west, so he really didn't dare to act rashly; at this moment, he was already in a dilemma, in a dilemma.
But because of Anyang's blockade of news, Kong Donglai has not yet received the news of Li Yulong's enthronement and proclaiming himself emperor; he just feels that the eldest prince is beyond his reach, and it would be nice to be able to involve Li Yulong's Kaiping County.
Kong Donglai did the calculations and found that there was only one choice, to cooperate with Jin and swallow Anyang in one go.
Hearing the advice given by his son, Kong Donglai decided to send someone to urge Songzhou County, Gao Bin, Dongyuan County, and Yuan Family again; When the situation gets worse, Anyang's development is getting faster and faster; if this opportunity is missed, Anyang will get a chance to breathe, and when Anyang develops again, it will inevitably retaliate and break down one by one! There is no way out for us to win, the best way is to take Anyang in one go!
After writing the letters to Songzhou County and Dongwon County, Kong Donglai still felt that it was not safe enough, so he took up a pen and wrote to Jin State: The situation has changed, so send troops quickly, and Anyang cannot be given a chance to breathe!
After the messengers had left, Kong Donglai took a few breaths, trying to vent out the irritability and uneasiness in his heart.
At this moment, a scout in front urgently reported: "My lord, Anyang is using train transportation. The 200,000 troops have already gone south and are about to reach the border. The situation is extremely critical! Arrange for battle!"
