Chapter 249

After Nangongzhi left, Kong Donglai thought for a long time, and felt that Nangongzhi's opinion was very good; but this person, once suspicious of others, would be suspicious, and always felt that Nangongzhi's suggestion implied a trap. After thinking for a while, but upset, Kong Donglai asked his two sons: Kong Yingzhi and Kong Yingcai.

In Kong Yingzhi's mind, all he thought was revenge. I went to Anyang twice by myself, once in the open and once in the dark, but both times I lost a person closest to me-one was my uncle, and the other was the head of the guard. Now there is an opportunity, of course it is revenge, choose to take the initiative to attack, the army suppresses the situation, and captures Anyang in one fell swoop. That is to say, Kong Yingzhi agreed with Nangong Zhi's first suggestion and conquered Anyang in one go.

Kong Yingcai did not have any ideas; if Kong Yingcai was allowed to negotiate and communicate, there would be no problem, but if Kong Yingcai was allowed to decide on major national affairs, it would be difficult for others. So Kong Yingcai made no promises for a long time, and only uttered one sentence: "I think the two suggestions made by Marshal Nangong are very reasonable."

Kong Donglai frowned, and subconsciously said, "Come here, please invite Mr. Guo Hongyan over here."

Kong Yingzhi carefully reminded, "Father, Mr. Guo Hongyan is in Nanyang Mansion."

Kong Donglai smiled awkwardly. Guo Hongyan was the Wen Cheng of Nanyang County. He was born as a literati, but he knew some military strategies. This time, Kong Donglai asked Guo Hongyan to sit in Nanyang Mansion, responsible for logistics and trivial matters, and did not go with the army.

Now if someone is sent to question Guo Hongyan, it will take a day to go back and forth, and it is already too late. Under such circumstances, Kong Donglai was silent for a long time, and finally decided to take a gamble! Since you want to bet, bet a big one! That is, the whole army pressed forward and captured Anyang in one go.

But because of Kong Donglai's hesitation, when Nangong Zhi received the "order to attack", it was already an hour, that is, two hours later. Only then did he receive the order, Nangong Zhi looked up to the sky and sighed, "The military plane has been lost! What can I do!"

However, it is still necessary to raise troops to attack. Knowing that the opportunity has been lost, but Kong Donglai is determined to attack; Nangong Zhi can only obey orders, after all, he is just a commander.

With one order, 150,000 elite soldiers from Nanyang County, together with nearly 150,000 civilian husbands, crossed the border in mighty force and rushed towards Anyang.

At the same time, Nanyang County once again sent a messenger to inform Dongyuan County and Songzhou County: We have launched an all-out war, and you two must help from the side, otherwise we will fail. First, Anyang will not be able to let Dongyuan County go. Songzhou County, and finally our Nanyang County—because of the geographical environment, the two of you will have to work hard.

The words were half threats and half intercourse, anyway, the tone was very tough, and there was a bit of condescension.

At this moment, Nanyang County, Kong Donglai and others didn't know that Songzhou County had fled without a fight; this Gao Bin was so terrific that he didn't send anyone to notify Nanyang County, so he just ran away . As for the Wang family and Wang Ping of Guangling County, they also ran very simply, and never thought of sending someone to notify Nanyang County.

Gao Bin's thinking is very simple: I must have offended Nanyang County if I fled without fighting; so, you Nanyang County will fight with Anyang County first, and then talk about it; when you are disabled in Nanyang County, you will not be able to trouble me up. At that time, maybe I can turn around and attack you Nanyang County!

The result of Gao Bin's doing this was: after the hundreds of thousands of troops in Songzhou County retreated without a fight, 30,000 elite soldiers from Anyang drove straight in from the flanks; and Kong Donglai is still sending people over to deliver letters. The messenger was naturally captured by the Anyang army.

As for Dongyuan County, after occupying Luliang County, not only did they no longer continue to march, but instead began to deploy and station along the line. The meaning is also very clear, with the same attention as Songzhou County - sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

And Dongyuan County has a good excuse - we are close to the sea, and the five ironclad ships in Anyang are showing off their power at our door every day, so we dare not move.

"Don't dare to act, why did you agree so quickly!" After receiving the letter from Dongyuan County, Kong Donglai was so angry that his eyes burst into flames. This letter was sent the day before yesterday, and it was the last communication between Dongyuan County and Nanyang County.

But it's too late to say anything now. After receiving the letter from Dongyuan County, Kong Donglai could do nothing but get angry; now it was too late even if he wanted to retreat.

Ahead, Nangong Zhi and Kong Zhiying led an army of 300,000 to press down on Anyang. The 300,000 troops stretched for more than 40 miles, like the waves of the sea, it seemed that Anyang would be washed away.

To be honest, facing an army of 300,000, even if there were only about 150,000 elite soldiers, Wang Jian, who was guarding the border, would have sweaty palms. Wang Jian can be regarded as an old general, but Anyang was only a small place before, and the largest war scale was only 30,000 to 50,000 people.

Now, both sides have a combined army of 500,000, and the war pressure caused by this is not ten times, but a hundred times! And half of the army's military power in Anyang is in the hands of Wang Jian; if it fails, Anyang will probably be completely devastated.

"Surrounded by wolves, Anyang can only win but not lose! As long as Anyang shows a little powerlessness, he will be besieged by wolves!" Wang Jian thought about Xu Ren's evaluation in his heart, and looked at Nanyang on the distant mountain like a tide The army of the county has tension and pride in its heart.

Yang Yishan walked over: "General, 500 artillery pieces are ready, as are 80 aircraft and 20 air vehicles. 200 machine guns have been set up.

There are also a total of 5,000 guerrillas composed of five foundation-building masters, who have already ambushed outside. "

Wang Jian took a deep breath, and finally waved his hand: "Okay, then, order all the artillery to aim at the enemy, and start carpet bombing after the enemy enters a range of one kilometer."

"yes!"

The surrounding officers, large and small, began to get busy, especially the soldiers and officers in artillery and machine guns. The artillery sold by Anyang has an attack distance of about three miles, that is, about 1.5 kilometers; but the artillery used by Anyang itself has an attack distance of more than 3 kilometers! The reason why the enemy is attacked after a distance of one kilometer is to paralyze the enemy.

The artillery fire has been prepared, and the dark muzzle has been aimed at the mighty soldiers coming from Nanyang County. A machine gun, even a cannon, was also ready. But compared to the ostentatious artillery, the machine gun is well hidden.

However, the soldiers in Nanyang County felt their scalps tingling when they saw the row of artillery barrels on the front line of defense; everyone has seen the power of artillery more than once. When attacking Wuyang City, the imperial capital, the sight of fifty or sixty cannons roaring together was unforgettable for many soldiers. But now, there are not fifty or sixty artillery pieces in Anyang, but five hundred pieces, large and small!

It's just that the military order is issued, and you can't retreat, you can only bite the bullet and rush upwards. Coupled with the fact that they have not been hit by shells head-on, many people still have some luck in their hearts.

On the other side, Wang Jian observed quietly. Seeing the soldiers in Nanyang County gradually entering the designated one-kilometer line, his eyes began to narrow. Hand, waved fiercely!

At this moment, the Anyang border defense line seemed to shake neatly, and then a roar was heard, like thunder rolling on the ground, and five hundred artillery pieces fired at the same time, the smallest being 47mm and 57mm rapid-fire guns; the largest being the 150mm cannon.

There was a shriek from the sky, and then the flowers of gunpowder were seen exploding in the army of Nanyang County. Although the 500 shells are different in size and speed, they are basically arranged in a straight line at the landing point. Thousands of Nanyang County soldiers made earthen planes in an instant.

A neat bombing made the soldiers of Nanyang County hesitate, and many soldiers on the edge of the explosion were even frightened. A few reacted slowly, and their heads were still shaking with the broken bodies that flew up.

However, once the attack started, the artillery fire from the Anyang side continued one after another. The 47mm and 57mm artillery fired continuously, and the firing speed could reach ten to fifteen in a minute. The shells fell into the "carpet" in Nanyang County. At least one time can bring several casualties.

The 105mm is a little slower, but delivers a big punch every time.

The 150mm artillery is the slowest, but after a salvo, the 150mm artillery will no longer join the salvo camp, but will specifically aim at places with flags, places where people gather, and places where there may be headquarters for bombing. Ten 150mm guns, every salvo is a disaster—a disaster for Nanyang County.

A 150mm shell exploded less than ten feet away from Nangong Zhi, and the shrapnel directly killed Nangong Zhi's horse. Nangong Zhi stared blankly at the camp after the explosion. In the ten huge craters, gunpowder smoke was billowing, and the surroundings were in a mess, with stumps and broken arms spread all over the floor.

"Aw..." Nangong Zhi let out a long cry, pointing at his captain: "Chen Feihu, you lead five thousand soldiers, broke into pieces, broke into Anyang's defense line, and destroyed Anyang's artillery at any cost!"

"Yes!" Chen Feihu responded, turned around and ordered five thousand alert soldiers, one by one immediately used the evasion technique, almost invisible, and quietly touched the front.

The artillery screamed overhead, explosions continued all around, and the army of Nanyang County rushed forward; Chen Feihu led 5,000 alert soldiers to rush forward, and soon surpassed the forward of the army and entered the blank area. Entering here, the 5,000 guards were immediately broken into pieces and marched forward using the most simple and easy-to-use earth escape technique.

The five thousand people were completely scattered, and there seemed to be no pattern, just carefully, quietly, but quickly groping forward.

Proceeding carefully, seeing that the distance from Anyang's border defense was only about 30 feet, that is, about 100 meters, Chen Feihu took a deep breath and knew that it was a critical moment.

After taking a breath, he was about to continue to use the earth escape technique to escape forward, but he didn't want to feel dizzy as if he had hit his head on an iron plate.

"No, it's the Earth Fiend Vajra Formation, or the Earth Fiend Vajra Technique!"

After changing several directions in a row, Chen Feihu was unable to cross the line of defense, and only got dizzy.

But at this moment, a voice came from above Chen Feihu's head, loud and mocking: "Hey, mice, Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time!"
