Ling Xia received the task of defending the city until he evacuated the state of Angli, a total of twenty-nine and a half days of defense of the enemy, after his evacuation, Gao Tianci led two legions to fight with the snow shore of Nakajima for half a day, on the night of Ling Xia's withdrawal, a message came from the state of Anglia Province, Gao Tianci led the 150,000 battle guards after annihilating the enemy 120,000, the whole army was annihilated and martyred.

At the same time, the two legions of the enemy army responsible for attacking Dongcheng heard the truth in the territory and found the Arrow Division of the War Guards hiding in Dongcheng, and Dong Shicheng, the commander of the Arrow Division, gave up resistance because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and chose to surrender and surrender Dongcheng to the island country.

After Dong Shicheng's treason, he dragged out the plan of Ling Xia and Gao Tianci, and after listening, the two commanders of the enemy army led the team to the north city overnight to support the middle island snow shore, after a night of galloping, when they arrived at the north city, they saw the middle island snow bank was sitting on the city wall in a daze with a lost face, and the soldiers were slaughtering each other's war horses and cooking meat to satisfy their hunger under the city.

After some inspection, I found that only half of the original five legions were left, and the original 500,000 army was now only 250,000, except for the loss of half of the soldiers and horses, all the grain, grass and materials in the barracks were burned, because there were no tents and quilts to keep out the cold, and the soldiers had to sit in a circle on the ground last night and froze.

Since the siege of the city early the morning before yesterday, the soldiers of the island country did not have time to eat, there was no time to eat for a day that day, Ling Xia fooled everyone for a night the night before yesterday, after waking up early yesterday morning, the snow shore of Nakajima ordered the siege of the city in a hurry, and everyone had no chance to eat, and yesterday the whole morning was played, and no one was in the mood to eat.

At noon yesterday, seeing that the battle guards were about to die, Nakajima Xuegan ordered to speed up the attack, thinking that he would break through the city wall at noon, and then let everyone have a celebration meal, but he didn't expect Gao Tianci to suddenly lead troops to help, and set fire to the back camp that was hoarding grain and grass materials, and burned all the materials.

Although the 150,000 army under the command of Gao Tianci was defeated yesterday evening, the soldiers on the side of Nakajima Xue'an were also exhausted, high-intensity continuous combat, and most of the soldiers were tossed by Ma Boiling, so many soldiers collapsed, because there was no food, Nakajima Xue'an also learned Ling Xia's method and ordered everyone to slaughter war horses to satisfy hunger.

Later, the loss of troops was counted, and the ten legions sent by the island country to the province of Anglia actually lost half of the troops in the province of Angli, first Ling Xia annihilated the 300,000 army with a strategy, and when the defense of the city was in progress, the three divisions killed 60,000 horses, and in the later period, Ling Xia's battle flag division killed 70,000 soldiers, and yesterday he killed 120,000 soldiers in the battle of Gao Tianci.

If calculated in this way, in order to attack the northern city of Zhou'an Province, the island country has killed 550,000 soldiers, and finally although it completely destroyed the three legions of Zhou'an Province, it smashed in 150,000 soldiers and horses and the food and grass of five army corps, which is not counting, the most disappointing thing is that Ling Xia successfully evacuated Zhou'an Province.

Seeing that the generals under the city wall were all looking at him, Nakajima Xue'an stood up and gently stroked the broken arrow tower and firepower tower, and he said expressionlessly: "The main general of the enemy army responsible for defending the northern city of Ontario is called Ling Xia, you must remember this name, there is a very terrible unit under his command----- Battle Flag Division."

When I stepped on the walls of the northern city and stood on top of the walls to give orders, did you think we had won? Wrong, we didn't win? The winner of this offensive and defensive battle was Ling Xia, because he completed the task assigned to him by the Northern Theater, he successfully resisted our attack for a month, and ensured the passage of the battle guards to the Northern Theater.

Ten legions attacked the city, a small northern city was actually defended by the battle guards for a month, although there is a legion of war guards in the north city, but don't forget, we have always maintained the siege force of five legions, but that's it, we still lose our troops, especially Ling Xia and his battle flag division, he killed our 430,000 soldiers.

Fortunately, Ling Xia is only a division commander, if he is a corps commander or a group army commander, or if he is a corps commander or a war zone commander, if he has enough soldiers and horses, I believe that the battle situation at this time will definitely be rewritten, if the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty are as brave as Beicheng, we will not be able to win even if we have more troops. ”

With some emotion, after Nakajima Snow Shore integrated his troops and cleared out a passage, he did not wait for reinforcements from behind, but led the troops in front of him to attack inland, although the previous grain and grass were burned, but the two legions in Dongcheng carried some grain and grass, plus they stored some of the excess war horse meat, as long as they saved a little, it was completely enough to eat.

After leading his troops into the inland, he immediately deployed soldiers to destroy the bridges and official roads along the way, and gradually cut off the passage from the northern theater to the inland, and then he led his troops along the retreat route of the war guards to launch a counter-charge towards the northern theater, blocking the battle guards who did not have time to retreat on the battlefield in the northern theater, and cooperating with the main force of the island country to encircle and suppress those war guards......

Four days later, the news came from the northern theater of operations, the metropolitan governor Nangong Xiongba led 30 million soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with the island country in the Taizhuang Plain, the battle lasted a month, the total number of troops invested by both sides reached 60 million, the hardships of this battle exceeded everyone's imagination, the soldiers of the war guard army were not afraid of death, and the soldiers of the island country would rather die than retreat, and the two sides fought fiercely for several times.

Although Nangong Xiongba led 30 million soldiers of the Battle Guard Army to kill the enemy bravely, but when the battlefield clashed, the main forces of the War Guard Army were ambushed one after another, so Nangong Xiongba turned the tide and led the War Guard Army to annihilate the enemy's three main forces at the cost of more than 16 million soldiers, and the losses of both sides were basically equal.

In view of the fact that the northern theater is far from the inland and the supply line of the theater is long, in order to cooperate with the imperial court's plan to annihilate the enemy, the governor of Nangong will lead the remaining main force to withdraw to the inland.

……

Outside the desolate urban area of a city in the interior, Ling Xia and the soldiers were repairing in a wood, Lao Cui came to Ling Xia with the notice of the battle in the northern theater issued by the imperial court, after reading the content of the notice, Ling Xia glanced left and right, and saw Fu Qingyun and Xiang Kunlun and others resting beside him, he lowered his voice and asked: "This is all lying to the people, is there any real information about the northern theater?" ”

"Yes." After speaking, Lao Cui took out a piece of information from his arms and secretly handed it to Ling Xia while people were not paying attention: "This is passed by the intelligence officer in the Praetorian Guard, the governor of Nangong was defeated from the northern theater, he did annihilate the three main corps of the enemy, but his soldiers and horses were almost wiped out, only two group armies escaped, and the rest of the soldiers were all killed." ”

"What? Defeated? How so? Hearing this, Ling Xia sat up.
