April 30, on the north-western border of Annam.

Mengde City is a small city in the northwest, and ten miles from the northern suburbs is a rocky mountain range, which was swept away by the Northern Route Army of Great Xia as early as a week ago, and fell along with several small cities around it.

Yesterday morning, Mengde City began martial law in the whole city, and the post stations, city gates, official roads and other key places were guarded by the guards of Daxia City to prevent anyone from approaching.

The whole city is not allowed to enter but not to leave.

The local people realized that something big might happen, but they didn't dare and couldn't transmit information to the main city, and all possible communication channels were cut off by Great Xia.

The Black Snake Guard, who was in charge of Annan's intelligence investigation, cooperated with the Military Intelligence Department to carry out a first-level intelligence blockade around Mengde City, and not even a single fly could fly out.

All signs point to the imminent event of a major event in this small border city far from the three major battlefields.

Just last night, to the north of Mengde City, the rocky mountains that were originally deserted and isolated from the world seemed to have been spelled, and a black tunnel appeared out of thin air, directly connecting Yunnan Province.

Soon, a torch was lit up in the tunnel, illuminating the entire tunnel, and on the border of Mengding County, Yunnan Province, the Great Xia Expeditionary Force, which had long been ready, passed through the tunnel and magically appeared in the territory of Annam.

From yesterday night to the afternoon of 30 July, the tunnel was full of people and traffic, and the vast army passed through the tunnel quickly and in an orderly manner day and night, and assembled in the wilderness of Annam.

This expeditionary force included the five legions of the Longxiang Army, the Fourth Legion of the Praetorian Guard, the First Legion of the Flying Bear Army, and the Second Legion of the Flying Bear Army, with a total of 720,000 troops.

Now it is only the vanguard that has appeared, and there is a steady stream of troops coming out of the tunnel, and behind the large army, there is an even larger logistical supply auxiliary army, also numbering 500,000 people.

In the evening, Bai Qi, the commander of the Great Xia Expeditionary Force, surrounded by Laihu'er, Zhang Liao and other generals, slowly walked out of the tunnel and officially set foot on the territory of Annan.

"Dashuai!"

Zhao Ponu, the commander of the First Legion of the Longxiang Army, was appointed by Bai Qi as the vanguard officer, and led the First Legion to set foot on the territory of Annan first.

Bai got up and put on a dark iron armor, his expression was solemn, "Are you already on alert?" ”

"Please also rest assured, the last general has sent five sentry posts, within a radius of thousands of miles, including Mengde City, which is within the warning range, and as soon as there is a disturbance, it can be detected immediately."

Zhao Ponu, as a capable general under Huo Qubing in history, is good at tracking and early warning, so he was appointed as a pioneer officer by Bai Qi, and it seems that he is doing a good job.

Bai Qi nodded, naturally without words of appreciation.

Zhao Ponu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it was a great honor to be able to get the handsome nod.

"Be vigilant at night and don't take it lightly." Bai Qi commanded.

"No!"

Zhao Ponu nodded in response, turned around and went down to arrange.

Bai Qi led a group of generals to the temporary headquarters to discuss the next military operation.

In addition to the pioneer officer Zhao Ponu, the seven army commanders of Lai Hu'er, Zhang Liao, Luo Shixin, Xiao Chaogui, Evil Lai, Chen Tang and Pei Renji are all listed.

Bai Qi used the unique triangular eyes of the Qin people to silently sweep the generals, and looked at the fierce generals in their hearts, and then said solemnly: "In the past few days, the enemy's counterattack has greatly exceeded our pre-war expectations, and now the three-way army is struggling to hold on, and twenty or thirty thousand people are killed every day, and the situation is not optimistic. ”

When the generals heard this, they all looked solemn.

Of course, they knew that the purpose of the sacrifice of the Three Routes Army was to create an opportunity for their strange army to move the enemy army away from the royal city so that they could be beheaded in one fell swoop.

"We're going to hurry!" Bai Qi concluded, "We can't wait any longer." Early tomorrow morning, the troops that had already arrived set out first, and tried to reach Hanoi within four days. ”

"Obey the commander's order!"

The generals responded in unison.

Because the size of the troops was too large, Bai Qi also made arrangements in advance, with the infantry passing through the tunnel first, and the cavalry one step behind. In this way, the cavalry that arrived later could catch up and ensure that the various armies appeared on the outskirts of Hanoi at about the same time.

At the same time, in order to lower the target, but also to rationally allocate official roads and avoid "traffic jams", even the vanguard troops had to divide their troops into several routes, advance in unison, and then meet in the suburbs of Hanoi.

The specific arrangement has to be arranged by the commander-in-chief.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that the military discussion came to an end. As the commander-in-chief, Bai Qi did not sleep, but got up and came outside the camp tent, called the guards, and began to patrol the camps one by one.

This war is related to the fortunes of the dynasty and the country, and it cannot be vain to be careless.

Even in the historical Qin State, Bai Qi had never commanded an army of this size, and it was difficult for outsiders to understand how heavy the burden was on his shoulders.

…………

The time has quietly entered May.

Since the beginning of the war, the Great Xia Army has been fighting in Annam for a month, and there is still a month to go that is the month of the national war, and the battle of Annam has become the focus of Asia.

Even the battle of Western Chu, which was still entangled, was not so eye-catching.

The northwest border of Annam, the garrison of the Great Xia Army.

In the early morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Bai Qi, who had slept for less than three hours, personally led an army, pulled out the camp and set off, and ran towards Hanoi according to the predetermined marching route.

From this moment on, the battle of Annam ushered in the final battle.

On the afternoon of 2 May, the Great Xia Army broke through the area controlled by the Northern Route Army and officially appeared in the field of vision of Annan. It is equivalent to saying that the early efforts of the Northern Route Army, the Black Snake Guard and the Military Intelligence Department have won two days for the army.

It's almost the key to turning a big war around.

When the vast army suddenly appeared near Hanoi, one can imagine what kind of psychological impact this had on the players of Annam and the royal family of Annam.

"Oh my God, it's the Great Xia army, where did they come from?"

No one can give an answer, the northwestern frontier is a long stretch of rocky mountains, and it stands to reason that no army can cross these moats and appear in Annam.

To the northwest, Annam was almost unfortified.

But things happened so unbelievably, even if the civil and military generals of the Annan court wanted to break their heads, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Didn't you say that the second batch of expeditionary forces in Great Xia came by sea?"

The face of the person who said this was very unsightly, and it was obvious that he had realized that the so-called sea route was nothing more than a smoke bomb deliberately released by Great Xia to deceive all of them.

For a time, the royal city was in turmoil, and the people were panicked.

Some people speculate that "maybe there is a karst cave in the rocky mountains that connects to Yunnan, China." ”

Some geographers also voiced that it was possible to have such a secret passage in the mountains based on geographical structures and geokinematics.

This statement really can't stand scrutiny, it's already five years of Gaia now, if there is really any secret passage, it hasn't been discovered by Annan players yet, where is it the turn of Great Xia to take advantage of this.

I also want to know how spacious the secret passage is to let the Great Xia army pass.

"There's no point in talking about this right now, and now the key question is, what do we do?"

yes, what to do?!

The first reaction of the Annan royal family was to immediately order the recall of the three-way forbidden army.

In fact, they did the same, not only the forbidden army, but even the three-way Inhuman troops were also recalled, after all, "the sky and the earth are big, and the royal city is the largest".

Once the royal city fell, the war would end, and no matter how great the achievements in the local battlefield were, it would be in vain.

However, the three-way army has already left the royal city, and if they want to rush back, it is not possible to do it in two or three days. The royal family of Annam can only unite with the leaders of the Inhuman Guild and gather the army that is still in the royal city to save themselves.

A storm struck Annan out of the blue.

…………

China.

Unlike the panic of Annan players, players in China have mixed feelings.

Two days ago, they were still worried that Daxia would encounter a "Waterloo" in Annan, and in a blink of an eye, Daxia was overwhelmed in Annan, and it seemed that Annan would be completely defeated.

The speed of the plot reversal is really jaw-dropping.

The players who had previously mocked Daxia and ridiculed Bai Qi on the forum suddenly became the target of public criticism, and were doxxed out and severely humiliated in the game.

I think that as long as they are not too thick-skinned, they will not dare to show up on the forum again.

Di Chen and the others were even more depressed, the only thing to be thankful for was that they were smart enough this time and didn't speak out on the forum, otherwise, they really didn't know how to end.

During the whole process, the summer palace did not say a word.

There is a saying: "Invisible pretending-force, the most deadly!" ”

Xia Gong does not express his position and does not respond, and in the eyes of players in China, there are other explanations at once. "It's still Daxia's clever methods, which seem to be indifferent, but in fact, everything is under control."

"High, really high!"

A lot of people don't even notice a thumbs up. For the layout of Great Xia, ordinary players can only worship, and this kind of realm is something they can't learn if they want to.

Affected by this, Ouyang Shuo ushered in another round of outbreaks in the voting of the leaders of the national war. As of May 3, Ouyang Shuo had received 45 million votes, more than 20 million votes for Emperor Chen.

The competition for the leader of the national war almost ended ahead of schedule.

…………

The Chinese players are happy, and the Annan players are having a very hard time.

In addition to the players who were still in the royal city, the three-way army that went out received the military order, and their hearts suddenly cooled, and their faces turned pale. If they don't understand what is going on now, then they are also in vain.

In particular, Nguyen Tien Que, the lord of Haiphong City, learned that the Great Xia Army had suddenly appeared in the outskirts of Hanoi, and at first he couldn't believe it, then his face turned pale, and then he turned red.

It is shame, shame without shame!

It is already obvious that all this is a bureau of Great Xiabu, and it is very ironic that this bureau of Great Xia can go so smoothly thanks to Ruan Tianque's initiative to attack the army of Wangcheng.

It is equivalent to saying that it was he Ruan Tianque who buried Annan with his own hands.

Guilt hit Ruan Tianque like a tsunami, and when he thought of the upcoming verbal and written criticism of the countrymen, Ruan Tianque suddenly lost all his courage.

Ruan Tianque did not dare to face those colleagues who trusted him.

That night, Ruan Tianque committed suicide in his study, leaving his last words on the table, and there were only three blood-colored characters on the snow-white rice paper: "I am guilty!" ”
