Chapter 472: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
"Everyone!"
Ruan Ping stood up and attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Many people think that Ruan Ping is going to personally attack He Buddha.
The atmosphere of the hall became more and more solemn.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Ruan Ping looked around and said, "Please listen to me." Now is not the time to hold anyone accountable, but the most critical question now is, where do the Allies go next? ā
As soon as the words fell, the hall was quiet again
Everyone's mood instantly became heavy, and there was no longer any desire to quarrel.
yes, where do the Allies go from here?
At this moment, there are no more than two options.
First, continue to increase troops and fight to the end with the army of Shanhai City.
Although the Allies suffered heavy losses, they still had more than 110,000 troops left. In terms of numbers, it is still twice the army of Shanhai City.
As long as you grit your teeth, you can't fight.
Second, clamp the tail and retreat in a gray manner.
The rear of the allied forces is relatively stable for the time being, and if they retreat now, the army of Shanhai City will not be able to help them for a while. It's just that in this way, [SAARC] will never be able to raise its head again.
In addition to the issue of face, there are also practical strategic considerations.
Once the allies retreated, the fall of Zhaoqing County was within reach. And if the barrier of Zhaoqing County is lost, the other counties of Lingnan Province will have to face the threat of the army of Shanhai City.
Therefore, in the long run, it is definitely not a good idea to withdraw troops at this time.
Unexpectedly, the lords who chose to withdraw their troops turned out to be in the majority. These lords were really blinded by Bai Qi and Han Xin's two-plank axe, and they were completely frightened.
What they see is always a real threat in front of them. As for the long-term plan, the future is long, and who knows what will happen in the future?!
Typical ostrich mentality.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the more the war drags on, the more beneficial it will be to Shanhai City. They have enough time to draw troops from elsewhere to encircle us. By then, it will be too late to retreat. Rather than this, it is better for the strong man to break his wrist and evacuate as soon as possible to minimize the loss. Now that our morale is low, it is better to evacuate for the time being, and wait until we have recovered our strength, and then wait for the opportunity to fight Shanhai City. The current strategic retreat is to give Shanhai City a more ferocious blow in the future. Anyway, it is already a very remarkable achievement that we took Cangcheng County in this battle and forced the killing god to retreat in embarrassment. ā
"Well said!"
Ruan Ping's remarks won a lot of approval.
I have to say that this person's eloquence is really good. According to Nguyen Binh, the Allies did not seem to have lost the battle, but rather won the battle.
Although Ruan Ping gritted his teeth with hatred for Ouyang Shuo, he was the backbone of the evacuation. Without it, he had his plans, and although this battle was lost, it was not all bad for the Alliance.
After this battle, it was enough to make the members of the alliance realize the horror and threat of Shanhai City. When they return to the territory, the first thing they will do will definitely be to strengthen their armaments.
Other than that, it's about holding each other together.
Under the strong oppression of Shanhai City, the [SAARC] will not only not be dissolved, but will be more and more tightly embraced and cooperate more closely with each other, such as the city-state system that Hefo had brewed before, which is very likely to be realized.
In this way, for Ruan Binh, it is an opportunity to rise. In the alliance, He Fo has lost his prestige, and Ruan Ping has naturally become the most favorable contender for the next alliance leader.
If he can lead the alliance and successfully form a city-state alliance, then Nguyen Binh's position will be in the ascendant. Not only in Lingnan Province, but also in the whole of China, there is also a place.
What's more, only then will Ruan Ping have the capital to fight against Ouyang Shuo.
Therefore, Nguyen Binh was the most staunch retreater.
Encouraged by Nguyen Binh, even some neutralists chose to retreat.
Of course, it is not for nothing that there are those who choose to stick to it, such as He Buddha. Because his territory has long since fallen, there is no way to go back. Capturing the southern part of Zhaoqing County is the only hope for Hefo.
At the moment when the territory was captured, He Buddha had no way out.
It's a pity that He Buddha is already a soft-spoken person.
As time passed, all sides argued, and those who advocated evacuation had the absolute upper hand.
Ruan Binh was about to enjoy the fruits of victory and look forward to the future, but was awakened by a loud shout.
"You can't withdraw!"
This loud shout, the loud voice, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Following the prestige, it was the Zhaoqing County lord's camp who stood in the corner of the hall and had not spoken out. [SAARC] wanted to withdraw its troops, but the lords in the north of Zhaoqing County naturally disagreed. The members of the [SAARC] patted their butts and left, and they had to face the army of Shanhai City alone.
"This brother, you don't seem to have figured out the situation, right?"
Hearing this, a member of the [SAARC] stood up and said in a playful manner: "In the final analysis, our [SAARC] expedition to Zhaoqing County this time is only out of humanitarian aid. What's wrong? Your lord of Zhaoqing County, what can you still order us? We can withdraw if we want, can we control you? ā
"Like, we're just here to help, okay?"
The members of the [SAARC] had a bad attitude and did not choose their words, which angered the lords of Zhaoqing County at once. The honeymoon period for both parties seems to be coming to an end here.
"Pig teammates!"
When Ruan Ping heard this, he also shook his head.
You say withdraw it, is it necessary to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds?
It's stupid.
The lord of Zhaoqing County, who had just spoken out, stood up again, and his tone was also full of playfulness, "I think it's because you haven't figured out the situation. If you want to retreat, we can't stop you. There is only one, the teleportation circle in our territory, which is only for friends. If you're not a friend, let's go back by yourself! ā
āā¦ā¦ā
The members of the [SAARC] suddenly became dumbfounded.
Only then did they remember that the teleportation array was still in the hands of the lord of the northern part of Zhaoqing County. If they didn't agree, [SAARC] wouldn't be able to use the teleportation array at all.
Now, it's a big shame.
He Buddha sat at the top and watched coldly at the performance below.
A bunch of idiots!
Now it's okay, it's torn its face, and it can't please it.
At this moment, [SAARC] just wants to withdraw, I'm afraid it won't be able to withdraw.
"Brother, everything is negotiable. I apologize to you on behalf of Fang Cai's companions. ā
Seeing this, Ruan Ping could only come out to play a round.
It's a pity that the lord of Zhaoqing County didn't buy it at all.
The whole discussion was deadlocked, and no one could convince anyone.
Fortunately, the army of Shanhai City did not seem to have the next move, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
In the end, it was the Praetorian Guard Division that broke the deadlock.
**********
August 24, Tianshuang County.
Lin Yi led the disguised Praetorian Guard Division to attack all the way, and finally arrived outside Tianshuang County.
At Lin Yi's signal, a clever sergeant stepped forward and shouted to the guards on the city tower, "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly!" ā
"Who are you?
The one responsible for guarding Tianshuang County was naturally the 30,000 army of the allied forces. As the logistics center of the allied forces, the defense of the entire Tianshuang County is very tight.
Even during the day, the gates were closed.
Only on one side, a small door was left as the entrance and exit for transporting grain and grass. It was such a small door, which had been completely closed before the arrival of the Praetorian Division.
"Blind your dogs, we are General Koji's subordinates." The sergeant selected by Lin Yi is really an actor, acting vividly and with an arrogant attitude.
The army guarding the city gate is not completely ignorant of the army of Kojiyi. With only the variety of armor worn by the cavalry below, they already believed five points.
In the entire northern part of Zhaoqing County, the active cavalry troops, that is, the Liyi Army.
Even so, the guards at the city gate still did not relax their vigilance, and asked as usual: "It turned out to be General Kojiyi's subordinates, you are here, I don't know what you are doing?" ā
"There is not enough grain and grass in the battalion, so the general sent us to urge the transportation of grain and grass."
This is the reason why Ouyang Shuo and Lin Yi have discussed it a long time ago. The grain and grass logistics of the Koji army were indeed supplied by Tianshuang County, and there were no flaws.
"Is there a token?"
"Naturally, we brought the general's seal."
"Hand it over!"
As he spoke, a hanging basket was hung from the castle tower.
The sergeant stepped forward and put the seal letter that had been searched from Koji's body inside.
The guards at the gate got the seal and confirmed that it was correct. They never imagined that the army of Koji had been completely wiped out, and even the seal letter had fallen into the hands of thieves.
At this time, the city gate was guarded, and there was no reason to stop it.
"Even if you are a subordinate of General Kojiyi, according to the rules, the number of people entering the city cannot exceed five hundred. For the rest, let's camp outside the city for the time being! ā
The guards at the city gate are really competent.
"Fuck your shit. We waited for the general's order, and the horses were fast all the way, and the people were sleepy and tired. I just thought that when I got to Tianshuang County, I could go into the city to repair it. Did you even let us camp outside the city and eat the gall of a leopard? When I got back, I reported it to my general. ā
"This ......"
When the guards at the city gate heard this, they were a little embarrassed.
"Why should we drink the northwest wind?"
ā¦ā¦
"Let's go inside!"
Under Lin Yi's hint, the Praetorian Guard Division erupted into bursts of dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, the city gate guards wiped their sweat, and they really didn't dare to provoke these guys. After weighing it, it was decided to let it go. After all, it's an allied force, and it's not a violation.
With a slight tilt, the drawbridge of the moat was slowly lowered, and the city gate was opened.
In this way, Lin Yi led the Praetorian Guard Division and entered the city smoothly.
What happened next is self-evident.
After entering the city, the Praetorian Guard Division suddenly attacked and took the lead in controlling the city gates. The second target is the post station in the city, in case the news of the attack on Tianshuang County is transmitted.
Next, there is a killing feast.
In the face of a sudden, attacking from the side, the 30,000 allied troops in Tianshuang County were unprepared. In less than three hours, the Praetorian Guard Division completely controlled Tianshuang County.
30,000 Allied troops, either killed or captured.
After half a month, Tianshuang County returned to the hands of Shanhai City again. (To be continued.) )
