Chapter 257 Battle in the East, 4
In the north, that is, in Luliang County, the situation has completely tilted. Anyang, which had been prepared for a long time, dispatched troops swiftly and triumphantly all the way.
In just over two days, the Dongyuan County army, which had hardly any defenses, suffered a series of disastrous defeats, losing more than 30,000 people in a row. Violent artillery fire, brutal machine guns, and continuous aircraft attacks overhead made Dongyuan County's army have to put up an escape posture even when they were resting; in this way, they could gain a breathing escape time before the danger came.
Especially airplanes, which fly all over the sky, sometimes in the east and sometimes in the west. Not only the front lines are bombed, but even the rear is often bombed. For example, Nanliang Mansion was bombed several times. This made the soldiers of Dongyuan County really restless.
In Nanliang Mansion, Yuan Zhong frowned. The situation was getting more and more critical, and it was time to make a choice.
But there is a big problem here. If there is no Luliang County, and only Dongyuan County is left, the Yuan family has almost no chance of rising. At that time, the north will be Anyang, the west will be Nanyang County, the south will be the State of Jin, and the east will be close to the sea—it will still be within the military range of Anyang. At that time, the Yuan family will only have four options:
The first three: Surrender, or take refuge in any one of the three.
Fourth: perish.
And once Anyang swallows Luliang County, it will only become stronger!
But now the situation is very critical, and there is no hope of occupying Luliang County. After hesitating for a while, Yuan Zhong finally recognized the reality and made the best decision for the time being: abandon Luliang County, let Anyang occupy it, and lead the remaining soldiers back to Dongyuan County.
In the future, Dongwon County has both ways and careful management, so there is no chance of rising.
But Yuan Zhong's decision was too late; just as the army was preparing to assemble and go south, the worst news came from the south: not only was the Xiandai River under the control of the Anyang army, but Yan Zhengqing, one of the two commanders in Anyang, personally sit in town. In addition, Wang Jian led 40,000 elite soldiers from Nanyang County and launched an assault from the south.
The south happens to be the weak point of Dongyuan County's defense; Wang Jian's road can be described as "like a broken bamboo", and he drove straight in. In the end, at a position seventy or eighty miles south of Nanliang Mansion, they met the first wave of retreating troops from Dongyuan County.
The soldiers of Dongyuan County who were not prepared much were directly beaten to death. Originally, the Anyang army's combat effectiveness was strong, and it carried the prestige of victory.
To be exact, when the battle just started, many soldiers from Dongyuan County threw down their weapons and armor, went directly into the mountains, and disappeared forever—we will be ordinary people from now on.
By the time Yuan Zhong received the message, the battle was over, and only a few capable and loyal officers and generals ran back, totaling no more than three to five hundred people.
Yuan Zhong didn't care to get angry, so he made urgent adjustments; however, it was too late. At this time, Wang Jian led an army to encircle from the south and completely cut off the south direction of Nanliang Mansion.
At the same time, in the north, Beichen Yuqing suddenly issued an order for a general attack, and 50,000 elite soldiers from Anyang attacked bravely. Artillery, machine guns, planes, and aircraft came overwhelming like locusts. The army of Dongyuan County, which had been "repeatedly defeated" for a long time, threw away its helmets and armor, and fled for more than 300 miles a day.
As a result, in the evening, Beichen Yuqing led the most elite 10,000 people to chase to Nanliang Mansion, and joined forces with Wang Jian Shengli to complete the complete siege of Nanliang Mansion.
This time the war was really swift, and when Yuan Zhong was about to flee alone, he was blocked.
Beichen Yuqing came forward in person and talked to Yuan Zhong at a distance of hundreds of feet: "Master Yuan, surrender. At least give the remaining athletes a chance to survive. It is well known that Anyang will not abuse prisoners."
The mighty voice was heard clearly by Dongyuan County soldiers within a radius of more than two hundred feet. Beichen Yuqing was not only talking to Yuan Zhong to persuade him to surrender, but was even using other means to coerce Yuan Zhong to surrender.
As for Yuan Zhong, he turned his head and saw the twinkling eyes of the soldiers and the struggling eyes of the generals, and suddenly felt a little desperate. But Yuan Zhong is the governor after all, and he always has to make the last struggle: "General Beichen, I admit that you are very strong. But if we stick to the city and wait for support, we can do it."
"No, you can't do it!" Beichen Yuqing said confidently, proudly, and with a touch of contempt, "We have artillery and aircraft here, which can attack from a long distance and carry out carpet bombing. Within an hour, we can drop two A thousand-ton bomb is enough to completely wipe out Nanliang Mansion.
Besides, we still have tens of thousands of masters at the foundation stage and hundreds of masters at the golden core stage, you can't stop them! "
"Tens of thousands of foundation-building masters? You're lying to ghosts!" Yuan Zhong didn't believe it at all. If it was said that there were tens of thousands of masters in the foundation-building period in Baofeng County, Yuan Zhong might believe half of them; after all, it was normal for Xiao Liming, the governor of the Northwest, to have run the Northwest for decades. But Anyang? It's only been a few years!
Beichen Yuqing didn't explain, "I'll give you a moment to think about it. After an hour, if you don't surrender, Anyang will not accept any prisoners. You can do it yourself!"
After Beichen Yuqing finished speaking, she turned around and left. an hour? In an hour, the 40,000 troops in the rear will catch up and completely complete the encirclement. It happened to let the soldiers in front take a break and replenish supplies.
It's just that Yuan Zhong also has a sensible person, suggesting that Yuan Zhong launch a surprise attack now and break out of the encirclement.
"My lord, don't wait any longer, every point we spend every night means we are in danger!" Several generals persuaded loudly.
Yuan Zhong is not a pedantic person, his eyes suddenly shot bright and somewhat resolute: "Everyone, tell me, which direction is the most likely?"
"It's the direction just now! The strongest point is often the weakest point, and the opponent has a great possibility of ignoring it. During the breakout process, it may be possible to kill Beichen Yuqing. If Beichen Yuqing can be killed, Anyang will lack a Strong arms."
"Okay! Everyone get ready, after a cup of tea, break out!"
The time for a cup of tea was very fast, and the dull atmosphere slowly solidified. About a thousand loyal dead soldiers, generals, etc., with white cloths wrapped around their arms, launched a death attack.
If you don't succeed, you will succeed! The white cloth is a sign of determination and identification, and it can only be used to confirm comrades-in-arms in chaos.
However, the reality is always disappointing.
Beichen Yuqing was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea in her hand, leisurely and contented; more than two thousand foundation-building masters lined up around her, and flying swords floating in front of everyone.
Over two thousand foundation building periods, everyone has magic weapon-level flying swords!
Yuan Zhong, who had just rushed to the front, couldn't believe his eyes, "Magic array?"
Beichen Yuqing could understand the other party's mood, and she was not in a hurry: "Master Yuan, don't worry, if I give you an hour, it's an hour. But don't seek death.
Now, if you go one step further, don't blame me for being rude! "
Yuan Zhong hesitated.
Immediately, a military general nearby persuaded: "My lord, don't hesitate, the other party is probably playing tricks."
But there are also generals who are timid: "My lord, we... we... surrender."
As soon as Yuan Zhong heard this, murderous intent exploded in his heart, and he wanted to kill this timid general; but then he gave up after thinking about it. Killing him now will only completely disperse the unsteady hearts. But Yuan Zhong was not reconciled to let it go, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Everyone, Anyang is playing tricks. If there are really more than 2,000 foundation-building masters, why give us time!"
What Yuan Zhong said was very reasonable, and when the generals heard it, they suddenly realized: Yes, if the opponent really has more than two thousand foundation-building periods, he would have taken himself down long ago! Thinking about it this way, everyone felt more and more that the surrounding area might be a phantom array of light and shadow.
Beichen Yuqing really laughed, these people are too funny: "These people are out of their minds. To really arrange such a wide range and such a realistic phantom formation, at least Nascent Soul stage can do it. The reason why I I give you a moment to remember some old feelings and to minimize casualties.
Since you are toasting and not eating fine wine, then kill it! "
Beichen Yuqing's thinking is: When the army arrives, they will naturally surrender without fighting; the battle will be resolved without bloodshed. They are all men from the Great Xia Kingdom, so why bother to kill each other; what's more, Li Yulong and Yuan Yong always have some sympathy, Li Xian and Yuan Zhao also have some sympathy, Beichen Yuqing also has to take into account a little bit of public opinion. In this way, Yuan Zhong was given an hour.
It's just that at this moment, good intentions are regarded as the liver and lungs of a donkey. In this case, Beichen Yuqing will no longer be polite. Seeing that the opponent launched an attack, Beichen Yuqing also immediately ordered to attack.
Two thousand foundation-building masters and two thousand magic-level flying swords killed more than 800 people around Yuan Zhong in one encounter.
This time, Yuan Zhongcai really believed that what was in front of him was not a phantom array, but a real one! But it was too late.
In less than a cup of tea, Yuan Zhong was captured alive, almost bundled into rice dumplings and sent to Beichen Yuqing.
Beichen Yuqing looked at Yuan Zhong: "Master Yuan, at this point, we can only offend him. Someone, use the aircraft to send Master Yuan to Anyang City, and hand it over to the virtuous king."
The virtuous king is naturally Li Xian. Li Yulong officially ascended the throne, and Li Xian also became king clearly. Internally, Xu Ren, Beichen Yuqing and other old people still call Li Xian some "Young Master", but externally they have uniformly addressed him as "Xian Wang" or "Prince".
After being escorted onto the aircraft, Yuan Zhongcai finally let out a long sigh, and suddenly, as if his spine had been taken away, he curled up in a corner, staring blankly at the white clouds passing by, feeling ashamed. In this battle, Dongyuan County and the Yuan family almost lost hope of rising forever.
However, after Beichen Yuqing sent away Yuan Zhong and a few others, the remaining minor generals and a large number of soldiers could only be temporarily detained here. Fortunately, the news that Anyang County does not abuse prisoners has spread, and Beichen Yuqing also swore that not many soldiers from Dongyuan County resisted, and the capture of prisoners went smoothly.
After that, Beichen Yuqing and Wang Jian left 20,000 troops to guard Nanliang Mansion, and the remaining 70,000 troops turned around and went south to support Yan Zhengqing; if there was no chance, they wiped out Dongyuan County.
