When the situation in Yueyang City is getting worse and worse, some people inevitably have other thoughts in their hearts, after all, there is only one human life, as long as there is hope of living, no one is willing to lose their lives.

According to the current situation in Yueyang City, the fall is a matter of time or time, once Yueyang City falls, then the chances of these officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army who remain in Yueyang City being alive are too small.

The army of the Ice Lion Kingdom has already paid a very heavy price in Yueyang City, and after completely capturing Yueyang City, with the temperament and cruelty of the army of the Ice Lion Country, it will definitely not give up, even if the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army in Yueyang City take the initiative to surrender, it will be difficult to survive.

Vice Minister of Defense Zhao Zeling, Commander of the Sixteenth Army He Minghuan, and Commander of the Fifth Army Zhang Hanjie all had the idea of leaving Yueyang City at this time, and before Su Yi came over, the three of them had been discussing the matter of breaking through for a long time.

Although it was obvious that only by breaking through the siege could they survive, the three of them all believed that even if all the Great Qin troops in Yueyang City were gathered, the possibility of successfully breaking through was very small.

The remnants of the Great Qin Army units in Yueyang City are all pure infantry, and when they break through, they will inevitably be intercepted by the armored forces of the Ice Lion Country, and the infantry will face the armored troops, and the result can be imagined.

In addition to leading troops to break through, Zhao Zeling, He Minghuan, and Zhang Hanjie still have a way to live, that is, to abandon the troops in Yueyang City, and the three of them and the high-level officers of various units in Yueyang City escaped from Yueyang City by plane, which has become a dead place.

At present, a military airport in the Xicheng District of Yueyang City is still under the control of the hands of the Great Qin Army troops, although this military airport has been bombed many times by the Ice Lion Air Force before the independent division entered Yueyang City, all the buildings in the airport have been blown into ruins, and even the airstrip has been bombed into potholes, but the three military transport planes hidden in the woods near the airport have fortunately escaped the bombing of the Ice Lion Air Force.

These three military transport aircraft are imported from the Blood Wolf Country by the Great Qin Air Force, belonging to the same model, if only carrying people, each military transport aircraft can transport almost thirty people at one time, and this military transport aircraft has low requirements for the runway, as long as the runway of the military airport in Xicheng District, simple maintenance, the three military transport planes can take off.

Not many people know about these three military transport planes, and even Su Yi doesn't know that there are three intact military transport planes in Yueyang City.

However, after all, the three military transport planes can only let a few people leave, and at this time, in Yueyang City, in addition to the independent division under Su Yi, there are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army and more than 1.7 million people, if the military high-level in Yueyang City escapes on three military transport planes, then Yueyang City will immediately fall into chaos, so Zhao Zeling, He Minghuan, and Zhang Hanjie feel that at least one person who can calm the scene must be left behind to take over the post of commander-in-chief of the defense of Yueyang City.

When Su Yi said that he was willing to lead the independent division to continue to stay in Yueyang City, Zhao Zeling, He Minghuan, and Zhang Hanjie all breathed a sigh of relief, the independent division is now the strongest combat force in Yueyang City, if Su Yi is willing to take over the post of commander-in-chief of the defense of Yueyang City, the three of them can all flee Yueyang City by plane.

Zhao Zeling, Vice Minister of National Defense, hesitated for a moment and said to Su Yi: "Division Commander Su, I can't hide it, I feel that with the current strength of our various troops in Yueyang City, it is very difficult to break out of the encirclement, and in addition to forcibly breaking through, in fact, there are three military transport planes in Yueyang City, as long as the runway of the military airport in Xicheng District is repaired, about ninety people can leave by plane, of course, it is impossible for all of them to leave, and ...... One person must be left behind to lead the soldiers and civilians in Yueyang City to continue to resist. ”

Zhao Zeling's words made Su Yi stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the breakthrough that the three of them said before was just a test of themselves, it turned out that Zhao Zeling and others still had a way back, and Zhao Zeling and others hoped that they could stay and become the one who sat in Yueyang City.

Su Yi pondered for a moment and said: "I can stay and lead the brothers of the independent division, as well as the brothers of other troops in the city, and continue to hold Yueyang City, but I hope to reorganize the other troops in the city and give me a name for the reorganization of other troops!" ”

Zhao Zeling hurriedly said to Su Yi: "I will appoint you as the commander of Yueyang City's city defense, and I will also give you the establishment of three temporary armies, at present, our Great Qin Army does not have a provisional army, then give you the numbers of the provisional first army, the provisional second army and the provisional third army, all the troops in Yueyang City, you can be integrated into these three temporary armies, and the previous establishment of these troops will be canceled." ”

At this time, Su Yi turned his head to He Minghuan, the commander of the 16th Army, and Zhang Hanjie, the commander of the 5th Army, and asked: "Commander He, Commander Zhang, if you leave, then your troops will belong to me Su Yi, we have to say it first, in case I am lucky enough to lead the troops to hold Yueyang City, I will not return the officers and soldiers of the 16th Army and the Fifth Army to the two of you in the future." ”

He Minghuan, the commander of the 16th Army, said with a wry smile: "Commander Su, don't bury me, let me leave the surviving brothers of the 16th Army and flee alone, I am already very embarrassed, where will I have the face to see the brothers of the 16th Army in the future." ”

Zhang Hanjie, the commander of the Fifth Army, sighed and said: "I didn't want to leave, but Minister Liu Fuchen sent a telegram ordering me to evacuate by transport plane, as for the remaining more than 20,000 officers and men of the Fifth Army, they will all be handed over to Division Commander Su, and they will no longer be members of the Fifth Army in the future. ”

The Fifth Army is a faction belonging to the Liu family where Liu Fuchen, Minister of National Defense of Great Qin, is located, in fact, not only the Fifth Army will be rebuilt, including the 16th Army and the other nineteen regular infantry divisions in Yueyang City at this time, and when the high-ranking officers of these troops arrive in a safe place, they will all reorganize a force according to the original number, as for the officers and soldiers of the various units in Yueyang City, the bigwigs of various factions, they do not think that they still have the possibility of leaving Yueyang City alive.

Su Yi nodded and said: "In this case, I, Su Yi, am willing to serve as the city defense commander of Yueyang City, and I will lead the provisional First Army, the Provisional Second Army and the Provisional Third Army to defend Yueyang City to the death." ”

When Su Yi took the letter of appointment issued by Vice Minister of Defense Zhao Zeling and left the basement under the ruins of the Ministry of National Defense Building, Zhao Zeling sighed and said: "If it weren't for the interests of the entire Zhao family, I, Zhao Zeling, would rather die in battle than be a deserter." ”

He Minghuan, the commander of the Sixteenth Army, hurriedly persuaded: "Minister, we are facing hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Ice Lion Country troops with advantages in all aspects, and it is already a miracle to be able to hold Yueyang City for more than a month, even if you evacuate Yueyang City now, you will not be criticized." ”

Zhao Zeling smiled bitterly and shook his head, in fact, he didn't want to evacuate Yueyang City now, after all, Yueyang City has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, but not long ago, the Great Qin Army suffered another fiasco in another battlefield, and lost more than 250,000 troops at once, including three armies belonging to the Zhao family's faction, and they were almost devastated, and the losses added up to 130,000.

The reason why the three armies belonging to the Zhao family's faction were almost wiped out was completely caused by the obstruction of other factions.

Because Zhao Zeling was trapped in Yueyang City, no one spoke to the troops of the Zhao family faction at the high-level military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, and the three armies of the Zhao family faction were immediately ordered to break off on that battlefield, and they were almost wiped out by the pursuing Ice Lion Country army.

Zhao Zeling didn't expect that he led his troops to fight bloodily in Yueyang City, but the other factions didn't care about it, but sold the three armies of the Zhao family's faction.

After these three armies were severely damaged, there were not many troops that the Zhao family faction could control, and if Zhao Zeling did not fight for the right to speak at the high-level military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, the Zhao family would have to be removed from the thirteen major factions.

Zhao Zeling sighed and said to He Minghuan, commander of the 16th Army, and Zhang Hanjie, commander of the Fifth Army: "You hurry up and arrange the affairs of the troops, and cooperate with Su Yi's people to take over the troops. ”

On the night of 18 January, Su Yi transferred a large number of officers and men from the former independent division, and with the cooperation of high-ranking officers of various units in Yueyang City, he began to take over the remnants of the officers and soldiers of each unit and various neighborhoods.

It is also thanks to the prestige of the independent division in the one-month defense of Yueyang City that the whole process of taking over did not make too many waves, after all, the departure of the generals of the various units must have made the officers and soldiers below panic, but the officers and soldiers of the various units learned that Su Yi, the commander of the independent division, did not leave Yueyang City, but took over the post of city defense commander, and would also reorganize all the troops in Yueyang City into three temporary armies, which suddenly made the officers and soldiers of each unit have no feeling of being abandoned.

However, because the attack of the Ice Lion Army's army would not stop, Su Yi did not have time to completely complete the reorganization of the three provisional armies, but only reduced the other troops into battalions one after another, and added as many weapons and ammunition to these troops as possible.

In the early morning of January 20, 2538, the sky had just dawned, and three military transport planes took off from the military airport in the Xicheng District of Yueyang City, and these three planes carried more than 90 senior officers of the Great Qin army.

Many of the leading generals of the various units in Yueyang City also stayed, and even five division commanders stayed, including Zhou Jianmin, the commander of the provisional 5th Division, and Wu Youliang, the commander of the provisional 6th Division, who had been cooperating with Su Yi before.

These senior officers who stayed, Su Yi was all entrusted with important tasks, let them lead several battalions to guard a certain block in Yueyang City, and the senior officers who were willing to stay in Yueyang City at this time even Su Yi admired it a little, don't forget that Su Yi still has the Star Gate, once Yueyang City really can't hold it, Su Yi can also temporarily return to the world of the Tang Empire or the Han Kingdom, but these senior officers are left with only one way to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Just as Vice Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling was leaving Yueyang City by plane, a high-level military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense was being held in the conference room of a building in Jinzhou City, the capital of Nanjiang Province of the Great Qin State.

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen said in a deep voice: "Vice Minister Zhao Zeling has led more than 90 officers above the brigade to evacuate Yueyang City on three military transport planes, and after about three hours, it should be able to arrive at the airport in Jinzhou City. ”

As soon as Liu Fuchen's words fell, Vice Minister Sun Hongwei spoke: "Su Yi's name is like thunder these days, but Su Yi was just a company clerk more than a month ago, but now he has suddenly become the city defense commander of Yueyang City, and he also has the establishment of three temporary armies, is it too fast?" You must know that Su Yi was born in the 16th Army of the Zhao family! ”

In addition to Minister of Defense Liu Fuchen, Daqin's Ministry of Defense also has six vice ministers, and Zhao Zeling and Sun Hongwei are just one of them.

Zhou Botao, chief of the general staff, said at this time: "Minister Sun, what is the situation in Yueyang City, I think you also know, and what we did on the issue of the three armies of the Zhao family before was really not very authentic, I think that in the matter of Su Yi, we should still act according to Vice Minister Zhao Zeling's wishes!" In addition, it is best to raise Su Yi's military rank to the next level and appoint Su Yi as a lieutenant general, which can be regarded as an encouragement to this fierce general! ”

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen nodded and said: "I agree with Chief of General Staff Zhou's opinion, our twelve families owe the Zhao family in the affairs of the three armies of the Zhao family, and I think it will be implemented in accordance with Vice Minister Zhao Zeling's arrangement!" The rank of lieutenant general can also be given to Su Yi, and if Su Yi sacrifices his life for the country in Yueyang City, we can also posthumously recognize Su Yi as the general of our Great Qin Army. ”

At this time, Vice Minister Sun Hongwei spoke again: "Recently, our Great Qin Army has lost a lot of troops in various battlefields, and Yueyang City is also in danger, this war has become more and more unfavorable to our Great Qin State, should we consider the president's proposal?" ”

Li Qingwei, the president of the Great Qin State, has always advocated an armistice negotiation with the Ice Lion State, and even if he pays a huge price, he must end the war with the Ice Lion State as soon as possible, but the Great Qin military has always been the main battle, and does not agree to give in to the Ice Lion State.

After Sun Hongwei's words, the conference room suddenly fell silent, and the bigwigs of various factions knew in their hearts that the Great Qin State was about to be unable to hold on.
