Chapter 851: Defeat and Despair

Three days later, under the order of Mao Wenlong, the Dongjiang Army launched an attack on Fujian at the same time, including the navy led by Cheng Zuo.

In the face of the fierce Dongjiang Army, which was fully prepared, the Zhu Jiajun, who was completely at a disadvantage, was not an opponent at all. As the battle became full-fledged, the Zhu army's army was defeated and retreated.

The battle reports of the defeat of the various prefectures and cities continued to fly towards the city of Yanping Prefecture like snowflakes, and Zhu Yihai had a gloomy face, looking at the battle reports reporting the defeat one by one. At this moment, his heart was already numb, but he never thought that his subordinates would be so vulnerable in the face of the attack of the Dongjiang Army.

A day passed, under the comprehensive encirclement of the Dongjiang Army, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Jianning had completely fallen. Such a quick fall was beyond anyone's expectations.

Mao Wenlong was also surprised by this! He immediately asked Hong Chengchou what was the reason?

Hong Chengchou has always been by Mao Wenlong's side, and he doesn't know what is going on. It wasn't until the battle report in front of him reached Mao Wenlong's hands that he suddenly came over.

The Zhu family's army was defeated so quickly, in fact, because of the tens of thousands of strong men they had recruited earlier. These tens of thousands of strong men who had not received any training not only did not play any role on the battlefield, but on the contrary, they affected the normal performance of the Zhu family's army.

These recruits, who have not received any training, look menacing and kill without blinking. Moreover, the Dongjiang Army, which had sharp artillery fire, all of them had weak legs and scattered in a hurry. No matter how Zhu Jiajun stops it, he can't stop these crazy people at all.

The Dongjiang Army soon discovered this phenomenon, and they quickly targeted it, and the harvest naturally increased exponentially.

In the end, the Dongjiang Army achieved Guan Hui's results in just one day. In the face of such a record, Mao Wenlong was not dissatisfied.

In the evening of the same day, after dinner, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou discussed the final general attack tomorrow in the study.

On the map, Hong Chengchou pointed to Yanping and Dingzhou and said: "General soldiers, all the soldiers and horses of the Zhu family army have been completely assembled in these two prefectures now, and I am afraid that we will not be so easy to fight tomorrow." ”

After the war, Hong Chengchou and Mao Wenlong already understood that the Dongjiang Army had achieved such good results. But he didn't kill many enemies, that is to say, the main force of the current Zhu family army suffered small losses, and most of those who died or were captured were those recruits.

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Zhu Jiajun is already catching turtles in the urn, Mr. Don't be too pessimistic. Now we are still able to mobilize more than 60,000 troops, which is enough to attack the remaining two cities at the same time. Not to mention that our killer weapon hasn't been dispatched yet! ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Could it be that the general army really wants to dispatch a hundred hot air balloons?" ”

The dispatch of the hot air balloon means a full-scale bombardment of the city of Yanpingfu, which will inevitably injure the innocent people in the city. Once the war involves the innocent people in the city, the Dongjiang Army will inevitably lose the support of the people here. This is the last thing Hong Chengchou wants to see.

Mao Wenlong saw Hong Chengchou's thoughts at a glance, and he said with a smile: "There is no reason for immortals in war, no matter who dies, as long as the war can be quickly quelled, it will not cause greater casualties." ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou was stunned again, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Mao Wenlong's words, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

The war is either you die or I die, in order to pity those innocent people, but the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army are plunged into the quagmire of war. Whether it is the casualties of the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army or the casualties of those innocent people, there is no doubt that Hong Chengchou naturally chose the Dongjiang Army not to suffer too many casualties.

With a conclusion in his heart, Hong Chengchou was immediately relieved, he bowed to Mao Wenlong, and said seriously: "What the chief soldier said is extremely true. ”

Seeing that Hong Chengchou came to his senses, Mao Wenlong chuckled lightly, then pointed to Yanping Mansion City and said, "That gentleman won't have any worries now." ”

Hong Chengchou replied with a smile: "Everything depends on the arrangement of the general army." ”

Mao Wenlong was no longer hypocritical, he turned around and immediately ordered Haoda to go out and prepare now, and he personally led a hundred hot air balloons to take off immediately after dawn, and then bombed Yanping Mansion indiscriminately.

There is a hot air balloon attack in Yanping Mansion City, so naturally there is no need to use so many troops, and these drawn troops can be invested in Dingzhou City.

Mao Wenlong was very satisfied with such a plan, and after agreeing with Hong Chengchou that night, he went to bed early.

And Zhu Yihai, who was besieged in the city, was discussing the final battle with Qing Huaiwen at the moment.

Qing Huaiwen's face was hideous, and he said to Zhu Yihai in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, there is Li Dahai in Dingzhou City, and he will definitely be able to defend the city for more than three days." And our side is the main force, but Mao Wenlong suddenly transferred some troops to assist the Dongjiang army on the Dingzhou side to attack the city. Obviously, this is Mao Wenlong's desire to annex alone, and finally come to attack us. ”

Zhu Yihai sneered when he heard this: "What do you mean, tomorrow may be the critical moment of our counteroffensive?" ”

Qing Huaiwen said with certainty: "Exactly, after the battle starts tomorrow, my subordinates think that they can go out of the city directly to fight with the Dongjiang Army." Taking advantage of the lack of strength of the Dongjiang Army, he was caught off guard, and then led his troops to assist Li Dahai to form a flanking attack on the Dongjiang Army in Dingzhou. ”

Zhu Yihai chuckled: "This plan is okay, then it's up to you tomorrow." ”

Qing Huaiwen hugged his fists and said yes, and then said goodbye and left in a hurry.

The night passed in silence, like the calm before a storm, and although the night was quiet, it was filled with a thick murderous intention. When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth in the morning, Qing Huaiwen had already gathered 30,000 soldiers, ready to fight a fierce battle with the Dongjiang army at any time.

However, accidents always come, and Qing Huaiwen was desperate to find that the Dongjiang Army did not set up the formation as he thought. Standing on the tower of the city, he looked at the hot air balloon slowly rising from the camp of the Dongjiang Army in the distance, and his face showed a look of horror and despair.

Behind him, Zhu Yihai's figure quietly appeared at some point, and he also looked at the hot air balloon floating densely in the air, slowly flying towards Yanping Mansion City, Zhu Yihai's face also had a desperate look.

"How can this be, does Mao Wenlong ignore the innocent people in the city?" Unwilling to despair, Zhu Yihai almost couldn't turn around.

"No, no, Mao Wenlong will not dare to directly use a hot air balloon to attack Yanping Mansion City. This must be intimidation...... Yes, it is intimidation, the prince ....... ”

Qing Huaiwen was very desperate, but he kept hypnotizing himself in his heart, hoping that all this in front of him was not real.
