Chapter 1014: Survival with a Broken Arm
April 13, Haiyun Mountains.
In the early morning, Haiyun Mountain is full of smoke, churning up and down, almost like a fairyland. When the morning sun rose and the fog lifted, the blood-red earth at the foot of the mountain was revealed.
What kind of fairyland is this, it's hell.
The corpses of the adventurers were refreshed, but the blood stains of the corpses remained, and the mottled blood soaked into the dirt, sprinkled on the grass, and splashed on the branches.
Overnight, the 200,000 southern expeditionary army was wiped out, and not one survivor remained.
This battle became the biggest turning point in the Battle of Annam, counting the 500,000 players who were still trapped in the mountain road, and the number of 1.6 million professional combat players in Annam has been cut by nearly half.
With the fall of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the fate of the Fourth Army of Haiphong City can be imagined.
As a result, in addition to the 800,000 forbidden troops stationed in Hanoi who were still unscathed, Annan's player army and territory army had been wiped out by Daxia.
What is even more frightening is that the Great Xia army was almost unscathed in the process.
The huge gap made the Annam players almost collapse, and when the news of the 200,000-strong army being ambushed at the foot of Haiyun Mountain and the annihilation of the entire army reached Hanoi, the entire royal city was silent.
Depression, fear, grief and indignation, endless negative emotions hung over the city.
After the player calmed down a little, the overwhelming accusations poured towards Nguyen Tien Que, the lord of Haiphong City, and there were two main pain points.
First, if it weren't for Haiphong City's overly drastic measures in dealing with the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce, perhaps this national war would not have happened at all.
Second, it was the intelligence provided by Haiphong City that allowed the second Southern Expeditionary Army to be ambushed by Daxia without warning, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.
It can be said that Ruan Tianque is a national war criminal.
Based on such considerations, the Annan players directly gave up their plans to recover Da Nang City, and even said that the entire southern territory was completely abandoned by the Annan players.
Half of Annam's country fell.
************
In the next few days, the battlefield in Annam suddenly calmed down.
In the absence of reinforcements, under the double pressure of poisonous smoke and food shortages, the fate of the 500,000 players who are still trapped in the mountain road can be imagined.
Some players simply commit suicide because they don't want their teammates to kill each other over food.
The scene was extremely tragic.
Mu Guiying's troops stationed in Da Nang City completed the "cover" task, followed south, and cooperated with Huo Quai's department to encircle and suppress the Fourth Army Corps of Haiphong City that remained in the south.
Other than that, there was no movement in the entire Annam battlefield.
On the contrary, in the Chinese region, the [Yanhuang Alliance] coalition army broke into the territory of Western Chu, and the battle with the Western Chu army was very fierce, and the scene was stalemate for a while, and it was difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior in a short period of time.
The Xiang clan is already rich in fierce generals, and the troops trained by Xiang Yu himself can also be called an elite division, and the Western Chu army is a local battle, and the strength of the two is already between the two of them.
Seeing that Great Xia was singing all the way in Annan, and in the blink of an eye, half of Annan had been taken, Di Chen and the others were difficult to ride a tiger, gritted their teeth, and once again transferred 200,000 troops from their respective territories to the battlefield of Western Chu.
At this moment, Xi Chu immediately panicked.
[Yanhuang League] There is also no shortage of famous generals here, Wu Qi, Tian Dan, Lian Po, each of them is a famous person, and counting Xie Xuan, Hua Xiong, Zhao Zhuang and other good generals, it can be said that the stars are bright.
The Battle of Western Chu entered a critical period.
Even so, no one would think that Xichu would be defeated so easily, Xiang Yu in history is a man who has created miracles, and there are countless cases of winning more with less.
There is still a fight in this battle.
At this moment, the change was repeated.
On April 14, the Great Xia Eagle Yang Army stationed in Shu, under the command of the divine general Li Mu, suddenly entered the territory of Fallen Leaf City, setting off a major battle in the southwest.
At the same time, the Flame Army of Luofeng City marched eastward and brazenly attacked the territory of Shura City. The Northern Xinjiang Corps was frequently active on the border of Zhangwu County, and it could enter the territory of Handan City at any time as a countermeasure.
All of a sudden, the situation in China changed.
No one expected that Great Xia would provoke a war at this time, and when the [Yanhuang Alliance] was at its most vulnerable, it would join forces to fall into Fengcheng, intending to take down the entire Guanxi Province.
"It's hilarious!"
Because the [Yanhuang Alliance] attacked the allies of Great Xia in front, Great Xia fought back at this time, and was not at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion, players don't think that Great Xia can only be beaten and not fight back.
If you want to say who is the culprit, it should also be [Yanhuang League].
Far-sighted players have already seen that the [Yanhuang League] first took advantage of Ouyang Shuo's voyage to Australia, and took the southern Anhui province by surprise, and then used Great Xia to attack Annan, and suddenly sent troops to Western Chu.
The whole operation was interlocked, and it was clearly a huge plan rather than an improvisation.
On the surface, the [Yanhuang Alliance] was only to connect the territories, and the ultimate goal was to establish a dynasty in order to compete with the Great Xia Dynasty.
Especially after Emperor Chen spent a lot of money to auction the [Meritorious Talisman] at the global auction, the ambition of the [Yanhuang League] to open a dynasty and establish a country has been revealed.
In the face of such a situation, Great Xia seemed to have no reaction, but in fact, it was secretly killing.
A few years ago, Great Xia first annexed Jiangchuan Province with a "light wind and clouds" to balance the influence of the [Yanhuang League] to take the southern Anhui Province, and at the same time pushed the border between the two sides to the north, and the north and south confronted each other.
And then it got even harder.
Great Xia was able to take a risk in the case of attacking the hard-boiled Annam, and brazenly sent troops to attack the Kansai Province. It is foreseeable that once the Guanxi Province falls, even if the [Yanhuang League] takes Western Chu, the overall strength will not be able to be improved, which is equivalent to a bamboo basket for nothing.
"Ruthless enough, accurate enough!" Someone gave a thumbs up to King Xia.
…………
As soon as the news of the war came out, the Lord of Fallen Leaf City and the Lord of Shura City immediately panicked.
The territory of the two of them originally only had 150,000 troops, and in the Battle of Western Chu, another army was transferred, and only 80,000 regular troops actually guarded the territory.
Whether it was facing the Great Xia Eagle Yang Army or the Flame Army of Luofeng City, they were powerless.
And even if they wanted to recall the troops of Western Chu, it was too late, these troops had already penetrated deep into the territory of Western Chu and were entangled with the army of Western Chu.
At this time, the withdrawal of troops, not to mention the lack of time, may lead to the collapse of the advantages that the [Yanhuang Alliance] has built up with great difficulty, and if one is not good, it may collapse completely.
Therefore, no matter what the considerations, Emperor Chen and the others would never allow Shura City and Fallen Leaf City to withdraw their troops at this time. Without the consent of Emperor Chen and the others, there would be no teleportation array available, and even if the Drifting Illusion and the Killing Breaking Army wanted to withdraw, they couldn't do it, so they could only stare dryly.
In desperation, Drifting Illusion applied for asylum in the Tang Dynasty, and the Killing Army applied for asylum in the Great Qin Empire, hoping to escape this catastrophe with the help of the power of the two dynasties.
The replies of the two dynasties directly sent the two into the icy abyss.
"Refuse!"
The opinions of Datang and Daqin were surprisingly consistent, and the envoys of the two territories did not even see the faces of the two emperors, so they were simply driven out of the royal city.
"Conspiracy, this is a big conspiracy!" The slaughter army is almost crazy.
Fortunately, he is just a civilian player, but because of his proximity to the Heroes, he was able to enter the [Yanhuang League], and then he was lucky enough to survive in the fiercely competitive wilderness battle to this day.
Even if he fails, he has no regrets.
The Killing Army is different, Shura City is not only a territory, but also the foundation of the Killing Destruction Army family, once it falls, the consequences are simply catastrophic.
Even if the Feng family falls to Swordsman City, the consequences are not so serious, after all, the Feng family is an ancient martial arts family, even if there is no territory, they can still be mixed up in the game.
There is no way back for the Killer Army.
At the critical moment, Di Chen showed the demeanor of the leader of the [Yanhuang League], and urgently summoned the five members to Handan City to discuss the matter to see how to solve the current crisis.
The six of them discussed and discussed, and there was only one way, with the strength of the [Yanhuang Alliance], either abandon Western Chu and make every effort to keep Fallen Leaf City and Shura City; Either abandon the two territories and concentrate on taking Western Chu.
If you want to do both, it's simply not possible.
How to choose?
Emperor Chen, Chun Shenjun, and Wolf Warrior naturally fully supported the capture of Xichu, and [Yanhuang League] shot again and again, and worked hard for so long, isn't it just for the successful implementation of Plan Z?
The capture of Western Chu is the most critical part of Plan Z.
In this way, how can you give up halfway?
Emotionally speaking, Xiongba is naturally reluctant to abandon the floating Fallen Leaf City; In terms of personal interests, the existence of Fallen Leaf City is also a strong support for Xionghe.
But Xiongba is the real hero.
The so-called heroes have to know how to make trade-offs.
Compared with keeping a fallen leaf city, the implementation of Plan Z is the top priority, thinking about it, Xiongba not only supported the attack on Xichu, but also personally came forward to do the work of drifting illusions.
Drifting Fantasy is dependent on the Xiongba family and exists, and while gaining a foothold in the wilderness, it has also lost its independence, since the "main family" of Xiongba has personally come forward to persuade him, Drifting Fantasy can only choose to accept it.
As the only remaining civilian lord in China other than Ouyang Shuo, Drifting Illusion has been able to get to where it is today, it seems that it is just luck, and it really has its own way.
The way of drifting illusion is to know how to follow the trend.
Since the general trend of [Yanhuang Alliance] abandoning the Kansai Province is irreversible, Drifting Illusion will naturally not go against the trend, not only will it not be beneficial to itself, but it will also sever the relationship with the Xionghe.
On the contrary, choosing to agree is tantamount to selling a big face for Xiongba, as a child of a big family, Xiongba will definitely compensate for the drifting illusion and will never ignore it.
That's where the cleverness of Drifting Fantasy comes in.
In the end, everyone's eyes were on the Killer Army.
This representative figure of the gray area, from the initial expectation, to the struggle, to the current despair, the mood can be described as ups and downs.
Now all that's left is decadence and depression.
It is the depression after the ambition is shattered, and it is the pale road ahead.
Seeing that the Killing Breaking Army was like this, Di Chen and the others were also in a heavy mood, although the popularity of the Killing Breaking Army in the [Yanhuang League] was already very poor, but seeing him come to this point, there was still a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox.
The pain that Ouyang Shuo brought to [Yanhuang League] was too profound.
Seeing this, Di Chen didn't wait for the Killing Breaker Army to speak, and suddenly said, "Everyone, I have a proposal. ”
