"Horse, the gate of the south city has been broken, this is the perfect time for us to attack the city, if you miss today, I'm afraid we will never find an opportunity like today, we must not withdraw from the task of the last general, we should temporarily retreat to the safe zone, and after the flame in front of the city gate is extinguished, we will attack the city with our backhand." Lu Zhuanlan and most of the soldiers were reluctant to withdraw, so he tried his best to admonish.

But no matter what everyone thinks, Ling Xia still ordered the withdrawal of troops, hearing Ling Xia's resolute order, Lu Zhuanlan stomped his feet anxiously, and then ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops with an unwilling face, and as soon as they left, the reinforcements from the other three city walls of the Japanese Kou had already arrived, if Lu Zhuan Lan hesitated for a moment, if the soldiers of the battle guards outside the city left a little later, they would inevitably encounter a crazy counterattack from the Japanese Kou.

Seeing that so many reinforcements came from the Japanese Bandits, Lu Zhuanlan was also apprehensive for a while, although their previous strength was very advantageous, but at this moment, all the soldiers and horses of the Japanese Bandits were gathered in the southern city, plus the Japanese Kou had black oil and fire bombs in their hands, if they really wanted to forcibly attack the city, they would definitely pay a heavy price, thinking of their recklessness just now, Lu Zhuanlan felt a trace of shame in his heart.

The corps retreated to the station, and the legions began to count the number of people in the siege battle, but even so, there were still more than 700,000 Japanese who died because of Ling Xia, those were all the Japanese who patrolled and defended the city from the city wall before, and after these Japanese were caught in the hemp boiling, they all fainted on the city wall, and later when Gangning Ichiro used stone bullets to destroy the city wall, all those unconscious Japanese were stoned to death.

In addition to the Japanese on the city wall, the 300,000 Japanese cavalry at the city gate only fled back half, and the remaining 200,000 soldiers were all buried at the city gate, although Gangning Ichiro arrived later to defend the city wall, but he personally killed nearly a million soldiers under his command, and the price he paid was not small, at this moment there were only more than 3 million soldiers and horses left in Zhouning County.

Compared with the losses on the side of the Japanese Invaders, the losses on the side of the Battle Guards were negligible, with only more than 30,000 wall climbers, more than 20,000 shield soldiers, more than 40,000 crossbow soldiers, and thousands of cavalry killed under the stone bullets and black oil flames of the Japanese Guards, and the rest of the soldiers were all safely withdrawn.

Inside the camp of the Southern City Guards!

Ling Xia is summarizing the battle, and all the generals above the third rank of the corps are gathered in the command tent, although Ling Xia's rank is only the third grade, but because he is the commander of Long Jiuzhong, so at this time Ling Xia is sitting in the middle of the camp tent, at this moment, all the generals are commenting on the battle just now, and everyone is impressed by the tactics arranged by Ling Xia.

According to their original tactics, as long as they surrounded the city and defended to the death, they didn't expect Ling Xia to lead them to fight a siege battle, not only scared away Itagaki Junji, but also annihilated nearly a million Japanese soldiers with the help of the enemy.

Seeing that the generals below were getting more and more energetic, and they didn't mean to stop for the time being, Ling Xia had to wave his hand to stop them, let everyone be quiet first, and after everyone quieted down, Ling Xia first briefly reported the battle tonight, praised the troops and individuals who fought bravely tonight, and suggested that the generals should reward the meritorious ones after they returned.

After saying this, Ling Xia's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and then he said the data of the dead soldiers and the wounded soldiers, after speaking, Ling Xia told the generals that the soldiers who died in the line of duty to protect the country should be given a heavy pension, and the generals and soldiers who were wounded in the battle should be actively treated.

After saying everything that should be said, Ling Xia asked the generals to update and deploy the next battle plan, and when Lu Zhulan and several general soldiers deployed a new battle plan, Ling Xia put forward his own opinions: "If it weren't for Gangning Ichiro leading all the troops to help, the southern city of Zhouning County would be broken tonight.

Of course, they have been defending all this time, but their previous defense was a tactical active defense, but after tonight's defeat, coupled with the fact that they have lost so many soldiers, the next step for the Japanese is to defend passively, and the situation has reached this point, I guess it is almost time for Ichiro Minami to ask for help from Sakurako Nakamoto, and it's time for us to consider the tactics of the Grand Governor. ”

……

In the hall of Zhouning County!

Gangning Ichiro sat on the chair of the prefectural order, looking down with a gloomy face, on the left and right sides of his head sat Nakajima Yukigan, Nanyang Akira, Shinozuka Heihei, and the generals at all levels of the corps, and Itagaki Junji knelt down with a shameful expression and was about to commit suicide by disemboweling, just when he was about to cut open his belly with a dagger, Minato Ichiro threw out a brush and knocked Itagaki Junji's dagger off.

Looking at Itagaki Junji's stunned expression, Gangningichiro snorted coldly: "Even if you dissect yourself into minced meat now, it is not enough to make up for the mistakes you have committed, if you want to apologize with death, I won't stop you, but now is not the time, and it is not too late for you to disembowelment after this crisis has passed, after all, you are also a master of true qi cultivation, so let you kill the enemy and atone for the time being."

During this time, we lost one after another, first the east city was in distress, then the west city was attacked, and now the south city was broken again, in the four major city walls of Zhouning County, only the north city did not encounter anything unusual, the war guards have frequently made big moves recently, but our spies have not sent back the slightest information, what does this mean? It shows that these deployments of the enemy are decided on an ad hoc basis.

At the beginning of the period, I thought that our spies were exposed, but in the later stage, in the face of the tasks we issued, the spies still carried out normally, which means that it is not a matter of spies, it is the enemy commander's deployment tactics, resulting in the spies having no chance to transmit information at all, and it is this that makes me feel the horror of the enemy commander, and the opponent's on-the-spot combat ability is too strong.

Although the spies we lurked in the headquarters of the Battle Guard Army were not exposed, I always felt that there was something wrong with the information they transmitted, and combined with the three attacks encountered, their tactical style and thinking deployment were too flexible and changeable, not at all like the style of Nangong Xiongba, the conditions on our side were limited, and we couldn't find out the details of the opposite side, so I decided to ask Marshal Sakurako to help investigate.

In view of the recent setbacks of our army, so we changed from the previous tactical defense to the operational defense, I am worried that the enemy will take advantage of our low morale to force the siege of the city, so all the black oil in the inventory is divided, in addition, I have written a letter of request for help to Marshal Sakurako, and it is expected that the reply will be recovered tomorrow, and during the arrival of reinforcements, everyone is ready to fight on their backs. ”
