Chapter 200: The Battle for the Siege XIV

It didn't take long, Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu hurried over under the leadership of Lao Cui, because the two of them were responsible for the defense of the two wings, so when Lao Cui went to find them, he had to divide the troops into two ways, he personally went to Xiang Kunlun for help, and at the same time arranged for Qu Qinshi to go to Nangong Xiu, and when the two sent troops to help, they happened to meet at the intersection.

Seeing them coming, Ling Xia walked out of the tent to greet them, as soon as they met, Xiang Kunlun couldn't wait to ask about the city defense, when Yue Qianfeng told the two of them everything that happened tonight, Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu both opened their mouths in horror, and when they heard that Ling Xia led the battle flag division to annihilate 300,000 enemy troops, their eyes were about to fall.

If they didn't believe it at first, then when everyone walked to the maze and saw the ashes and charred corpses there, they had to believe this fact, thinking that Ling Xia had annihilated the enemy's 300,000 army with a mere 58,000 soldiers, and the two of them gasped at the same time, with an incredible expression in their eyes.

Looking at the stunned appearance of the two, Ling Xia did not have any smile, although he set a classic example of winning more with less in this battle, but Ling Xia felt sorry for his soldiers, in this battle he lost a full forty-five thousand soldiers, this price has exceeded the limit that Ling Xia can bear, and the foundation he formed back then was basically all gone.

Reluctantly betting on the sadness in his heart, Ling Xia told Xiang Kunlun and the others that the enemy had suffered such a big loss, and he would definitely repair for a while, and once the enemy finished repairing, they would carry out a large-scale attack, and at that time, the other party, out of revenge, would definitely place the center of gravity of the battlefield at the main city gate, and would never attack the city from both wings.

Therefore, Ling Xia suggested that Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu adjust their respective forces to the main city, abandon the side gates on both wings, and wait until the enemy attacks again, the three divisions join forces to resist the enemy's siege, and in the next step, the enemy's attacks will be like a tide wave after wave, so everyone must be mentally prepared and prepare enough food, grass, materials, and weapons.

"Don't worry, we have brought our respective main forces over, just send people to transport grain, grass and supplies over when we go back, General Gao and the corps commander have also heard about the war here, and they are also on their way, and the next step, the command camp of the legion will be set up here." Xiang Kunlun said this, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "What are you going to do with those captives?" Are you still keeping it? We can't afford to have enough food and grass. ”

After hearing this, Ling Xia replied unhurriedly: "Those captives are the best shields, as long as those captives are there, the enemy will not dare to use catapults and other instruments when attacking the city, in addition, those captives are still very useful, I have to keep them, the problem of food and grass can be solved slowly, but the captives can not give up." ”

"Okay, in that case, then listen to you, let's go back and evenly distribute the food in our respective divisions and regiments, and distribute it to those captives for the time being, don't starve your treasures." After the words fell, Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu went out to arrange for the city government, let their people go to the city wall to accept defense, and at the same time send people to bury the remains of the martyred soldiers.

……

Moqing Province, the military garrison of the Fourth Corps of the island country, the commander Nakajima Xuegan was arranging the siege, at this time, a general soldier ran in to pass on the information, saying that Yamamoto Yoshio sent a battle report information, I thought it was a good news at this time, but after reading the content of the battle report, Nakajima Xue'an's face suddenly changed, and he slammed the letter on the table with a "snap" and scolded:

"Yoshio Yamamoto's stupid pig, actually fought such a defeat, when attacking Dongcheng, Ontario, ten legions failed to destroy the other two legions, and was played by the other party, and then he separated his forces and personally led five legions to attack Beicheng, according to intelligence, the strength of the garrison to defend Beicheng was only one reinforced division, and the number was less than 60,000.

But such a division of less than 60,000 people actually withstood Yoshio Yamamoto's three sieges of the city, not only that, but when he sent the troops of three reorganized regiments to attack the city, he actually fell into the strategy of the war guards, and the 300,000 army was introduced into the inner city by the enemy, and then it was actually burned to death by those war guards.

Our 300,000-strong army was no match for the 60,000 men of the Battle Guards, and it was a shame to say it, so we ordered Yoshio Yamamoto to be dismissed from all his duties, let him return to the corps to report the cause of the defeat, and sent the commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army, Ishiji Tsuchihara, to take over the work of Yoshio Yamamoto, and ordered Ishiji Tsuchihara to immediately rush to the front of the state and An, and take full responsibility for commanding the war in the state and ontar provinces. ”

……

"Great victory, great victory in the war, great victory in An'an Province, Ling Xia led 60,000 soldiers of the Battle Flag Division, resisted the enemy's five legions head-on, defeated the enemy siege three times, and finally annihilated the enemy army 300,000 with more than 40,000 injuries, forced the enemy to retreat 30 miles, the enemy changed the commander in battle, and so far he did not dare to take a step, our Ma Ye deserves to be the first warrior in the world."

When the Northern Theater Military Command Headquarters received the good news of the victory reported by Fu Qingyun, everyone, including Nangong Xiongba and Mr. Dongfang, was all taken aback, no one thought that Ling Xia would be able to make such a record, at first everyone didn't believe it, thinking that the good news was mixed with water, until someone was sent to investigate and all the facts were verified, everyone accepted the news.

After confirming that the news was true, Nangong Xiongba slapped his thigh excitedly, and shouted three times in a row: "Okay, good, good, this is the only good news in recent times, after such a long battle, there is deflated everywhere, only such a good news came, hahaha------ Ling Xia, Ling Xia, you really didn't disappoint me?" ”

"With a mere 60,000 people, they annihilated 300,000 enemy troops, and there is also a reorganized cavalry corps, oh my God, there are such strange people in the world? Even I don't have the ability? How did that guy do it? After reading the contents of the good news and the survey information sent back by his subordinates, Mr. Dongfang showed a look of horror on his face.

Surprise is surprise, but Nangong Xiongba did not waste this opportunity to boost morale, he ordered to report the achievements of the battle flag division to the whole region, and spread the victory of this great victory to every corner of the war zone, not to mention, after hearing this good news, the battle guards, who were originally languishing because of the unfavorable battle situation, instantly lifted their spirits, and all of them regained their confidence.

Just when the Northern Theater was encouraged by the victory in the province of Ontario, the newly appointed commander-in-chief, Ishiji Dohara, was mobilizing his troops, and he gathered all five legions under his command and pushed the troops opposite the main city of Nancheng, where he prepared to launch the most fierce attack.
