Chapter 254 Battle in the East, 1

At noon that day, when Nangong Zhi of Nanyang County led an army of 100,000 to help Dongyuan County, Yuan Zhong once again stood on the top of the city of Nanliang Mansion. What catches the eye now is no longer the tidy and prosperous Nanliang Mansion that was cleaned up by the Second Prince and Yuan Zhao. The current Nanliang Mansion is in ruins.

To be precise, Anyang was not bombed indiscriminately. The residential area was not affected at all. The city lord's mansion, several barracks, and several main city gates were bombed.

Looking at the dilapidated city and the dejected and disabled soldiers around him, Yuan Zhong felt very heavy in his heart!

Bombing, bombing, nothing but bombing! The form of war has completely changed, it is no longer face to face - the enemy is above three thousand meters! Facing such bombings and wars, Dongyuan County's governors, generals, and soldiers could only stare blankly, curse, and struggle to their deathbed.

…………

But in the north, where the eldest prince is, with Yuan Cai (Yuan Zhao's brother) as the vanguard, he leads an army of 300,000 troops to attack Kaiping County where Li Yulong is located. According to the agreement with Nanyang County, the First Prince attacked Kaiping County, involving Li Yulong's military power and leaving Anyang empty in the north.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a messenger from Kaiping County came forward on his own initiative and sent the latest news: Li Yulong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the country name is "Tang", and "His Majesty of the Great Xia Kingdom" is invited to watch the ceremony.

As I said earlier, after the second prince left Wuyang City, the first prince also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. That's why Li Yulong called the first prince in this way—His Majesty of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The eldest prince does things by unscrupulous means, but he is not stupid - a stupid person will not use unscrupulous means, but only follow the old ways. So after the First Prince received this information, the first thing that came to mind was not anger, but fear!

Li Yulong's ascension to the throne means that the Great Xia Kingdom has completely disappeared; then, Cai Guo, who has long been ready to move, will take action! So, after receiving this information, the eldest prince hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision:

"Ban Shi returned to the court, we will not open up Ping County, and take the opportunity to occupy Wuyang County; even if we can't occupy the entire Wuyang County, at least the northern half, so that we can occupy one-third of the area of ​​Daxia Kingdom, and have a solid foundation. foundation!

In addition... creaking... send a congratulatory gift to Li Yulong, congratulations on his enthronement. "

Li Xian blocked the news of Li Yulong's enthronement and proclaiming himself emperor to the south, that is, Nanyang County and Dongyuan County. Therefore, Nanyang County and Dongyuan County are still delusional about a war in the north to reduce the pressure on their side.

Li Yulong's political wisdom is really superior; a simple ascension to the throne does not know how many calculations are involved. At least, once ascending the throne, Nanyang County's seemingly perfect vertical and horizontal alliances will be defeated. And the timing of ascension to the throne is also very good, when everyone is overwhelmed.

Immediately after ascending the throne, Li Yulong began to drastically rectify Kaiping County; he even "learned the law" from Li Xian: separation of military and government, separation of finance, rule of law, proper emphasis on industry and commerce, and so on. Of course, Li Yulong has Li Yulong's considerations, plus he is the prince of "Taihao Shenting", he is well-informed and has adopted many unique political systems.

For example, Li Yulong divided the powers of the prime minister into two: the left minister assists the country and is responsible to the emperor; the right minister is responsible for the people's livelihood and is responsible to the people.

For example, the position of Taiwei was directly abolished, and the Marshal (in name) and General Zhu Guo (equivalent to the chief of staff) were separated. Below General Zhu Guo is the Commander-in-Chief of the Sea, Air and Air Forces—this is the real power.

For example, the grand master was completely abolished directly, and the ability of the grand master to assist the country was distributed to all civil and military officials. In this way, Li Yulong completed a deeper centralization.

In addition, Li Yulong also sent troops to the north to defend Cai Guo and the First Prince, just in case.

…………

When Li Yulong made drastic reforms, Li Xian also launched a "drastic" attack. As the saying goes, "If you don't sing, you will be a blockbuster", Anyang perfectly interprets this sentence.

At the beginning, Anyang seemed to be very honest. Even in business, etc., he had to "buy" a piece of land, which was indeed underestimated.

But now, in the face of ambushes from all directions, Anyang drew his sword, and as soon as the tyrannical military force was unsheathed, it crushed Songzhou County and Nanyang County, and finally the soldiers pointed directly to the east.

In just a few days, Anyang not only solved his "ambush in ten directions" dilemma, but launched a new "ambush in ten directions" to the east.

The sea, the sky, and the land launched an all-round attack.

Yan Ze'an led an elite army of 30,000, and together with five armored ships led by Chang Lin, blocked the Xiandai River, cutting off the small military force in Dongyuan County. The Xiandai River, once known as the "Tender Township", has now become the dividing line between Yin and Yang.

It's not that the Yuan family didn't think about it: Anyang might attack. But even Yuan Yong, a wise man, thinks that even if Anyang attacks, it will not be too strong, and it is more about offense than defense. Anyang's main military force should be used against Nanyang County, Songzhou County, and even the First Prince.

And in the face of the dilemma of ambushes from all directions, Anyang must be unable to protect himself, so he has no ability to attack himself. So, Dongyuan County made a good plan, let others go to work hard, and took the opportunity to occupy the ownerless Luliang County.

But even Yuan Yong didn't expect that Anyang would attack Songzhou County first, and Songzhou County would retreat without a fight. This time, the seemingly good form turned straight down.

Dongyuan County was ready to reap the benefits, Songzhou County retreated without a fight, and Anyang was able to attack Nanyang County with all its strength. As a result, Nanyang County, which was unable to defend against it, was wiped out by Anyang with more than 200,000 troops and nearly 250,000 troops before the reinforcements from Jin State.

Then Anyang finally showed its fangs. The three armies of the sea, land and air, and a total of five armies encircled Luliang County to the north of the Xiandai River, accounting for about 80% of the entire area of ​​Luliang County. It was not only Luliang County that was surrounded, but also the Yuan family's 100,000 elite soldiers in Dongyuan County! And Yuan Zhong himself!

This is really a lightning-fast trend. By the time the Yuan family in Dongyuan County and the Kong family in Nanyang County reacted, Anyang had already completed the encirclement and even had an absolute strategic advantage.

The five teams, like five fingers, firmly hold the north of Luliang County!

Standing on the dilapidated city wall of Nanliang Mansion, Yuan Zhong looked at the dejected soldiers and the people fleeing Nanliang Mansion with their families, feeling that the future was bleak for a while. He whispered to himself: "I always feel that I am unambiguous, but after fighting Anyang, I realized that the gap between us is so big."

There is no one around to answer the call, and no one answers the call, let alone how to answer the call.

Only the couriers shuttle constantly, but basically what they send is bad news; occasionally one or two news of victory will be sent, and the next moment will send the news of "annihilation"-it turns out that the so-called victory is just Anyang is just luring the enemy to go deep; after some arrogant generals enter the encirclement, they immediately start carpet bombing. In this tragic, fierce, and almost massacre battle, Anyang basically left no one alive.

Of course, if someone can survive the relentless bombardment, it doesn't matter if he is taken as a prisoner or detained-if he is still alive, just shout long live.

The war is in full swing, like a huge meat grinder, even if dozens of Jindan stage masters are still in such a battle involving tens of thousands of people, they can only stir up a few weak waves, and then the rolling flames of war will evaporate.

War and fighting alone are completely different ways of fighting!

If you are fighting alone, it is completely possible to save your life, or even turn defeat into victory, with some means of life-saving, means of suppressing the bottom of the box, or some strange magic weapon, or even a "magic weapon".

However, in such a group war, even the strength of the Golden Core stage is very small; besides, Anyang has no shortage of Golden Core stage masters now - those with a lot of liquid aura have taken a bath, and the Golden Core stage masters have started mass production .

Perhaps only a master of the Nascent Soul Stage can turn things around in such a war—and it must be done under similar circumstances; and Anyang is now beginning to have the Nascent Soul Stage to join him, and Anyang himself is also cultivating the Nascent Soul Stage.

Now, Anyang is pushing this meat grinder called war, advancing slowly, and every time he advances, thousands of soldiers from Dongyuan County fall down. Overhead planes, artillery attacks from a distance, and finally rushed to the front of the Anyang front, the soldiers of Dongyuan County were dumbfounded, and all the masters of the foundation stage in front of them launched an attack in their spare time. Some "lucky" ones can still taste the taste of the machine gun.

There is no way to fight this battle!

This is a letter sent to Yuan Zhong by a military officer who survived by chance.

Looking at the letter, Yuan Zhong could do nothing but sigh. "If it's possible, I don't even want to fight!"

There was still no response from anyone around - what the hell were you doing so early.

Yuan Zhong sighed and waited, and now he could only trust the generals on the front line-this was just an extravagant hope; in fact, Yuan Zhong had nothing to do. In fact, as I said before, Dongyuan County and the Yuan family didn't want to start a "decisive battle, a battle" at all, but were going to take the opportunity to swallow Luliang County secretly and develop carefully.

The Yuan family is very aware of their current status. Dongyuan County is not big, and Dongyuan County is located in a remote corner, so there is almost no room for development. The only chance for the Yuan family is to "build high walls, accumulate food widely, and not participate in the war." It is the Yuan family's chance when everyone else is almost beaten and exhausted.

It's just that the plans are not as fast as the changes, and the Yuan family has absolutely no chance now. Don't blame Anyang for the swift and violent battle, and don't blame yourself for being greedy, just blame your comrades for being too incompetent!

But Yuan Zhong hadn't given up completely. Of course, the Yuan family and Dongyuan County couldn't resist Anyang's attack. The three-dimensional attack from the sea, land and air made the Yuan family and Dongyuan County helpless. But Yuan Zhong is waiting, waiting for support from Nanyang County and even Songzhou County.

"If we are annexed by Anyang, you will have no chance. Therefore, you must come back to support! And our Yuan family must hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"
