On the morning of January 3, 3011 in the Tang calendar, Zhou Xu, the deputy captain of the Second Infantry Brigade of Fushan County, with several guards, hurried from the Royal Bank building in Xingang City to a barracks of the 39th Infantry Wing of the former Royal Army.

After Zhou Xu saw Su Yi, he said excitedly: "Fourth Young Master, hurry up and let the brothers of the Xingang City Garrison Squadron pack up their things, under the mediation of Lord Baron, the military department finally revoked the order for our Fushan County Second Infantry Brigade to hold Xingang City, and allowed our Fushan County Second Infantry Brigade to leave Xingang City!" ”

Su Yi touched his chin and said with a slight smile: "This is good news, the Second Infantry Brigade can finally go home." ”

Zhou Xu then said: "Fourth Young Master, we must move quickly, the military department also sent a piece of information, the army of the Heavenly Star Empire in Hedong Province has drawn out an infantry wing, which is advancing towards Xingang City, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will arrive in Xingang City, we must hurry up and strive to leave Xingang City by boat this afternoon." ”

Su Yi couldn't help but sigh when he heard that the army of the Celestial Star Empire had finally sent troops to Xingang City, but for the army of the Celestial Star Empire, only one infantry wing was dispatched, and Su Yi was a little relieved in his heart.

"Zhou Xu, then lead the Second Infantry Brigade out of Newport City as soon as possible! Go back and tell my father, our Su family has enjoyed the blessings of the royal family for generations, and now is the time for our Su family to serve the royal family, I, Su Yi, will lead the newly formed Xingang City Garrison Squadron to defend Xingang City to the death, as long as I Su Yi still have a breath of air, I will definitely not let Xingang City fall into the hands of the Tianxing Empire! Su Yi said righteously.

Zhou Xu looked at Su Yi dumbfounded, Zhou Xu wondered if this fourth young master really burned his head a while ago, you must know that the Heavenly Star Empire will soon have an infantry wing to arrive in Xingang City, and he actually wants to hold on to Xingang City with the five hundred people in his hands!

"Four...... Fourth Young Master, don't be impulsive, the military department has really revoked the order to let us hold Xingang City, and an infantry wing of the Celestial Star Empire is coming soon, we are still ......"

Before Zhou Xu's words were finished, Su Yi said categorically: "Zhou Xu, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind, this afternoon, I will use clear code to electrify the whole country to show my confidence in sticking to Xingang City!" ”

"Clearly energized? This...... Fourth Young Master, you only have five hundred people in your hands, and you don't even have heavy weapons, Lord Baron will not agree to you doing this!" ”

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "Although I, Su Yi, have the power to turn the tide, I have the heart to kill myself!" Zhou Xu, you hurry up and lead the Second Infantry Brigade to evacuate Xingang City by boat, our Su family only has two infantry brigades in total, and the Second Infantry Brigade must not be lost in Xingang City! ”

In fact, at this time, in this barracks of the 39th Infantry Wing of the Royal Army of the Former Liuyun Empire, there were more than 3,000 cyborgs under Su Yi's command, including two all-round high-level elite combat biocyclists, twenty army-type intermediate combat biochemicals, and 3,000 army-type junior combat biochemicals.

Moreover, these more than 3,000 people can be said to be armed to the teeth, and the 2,000 rifles, 2,000 pistols, 1,000 submachine guns, 100 sniper rifles, 100 general-purpose machine guns and 20 60mm mortars produced by the system were all extracted by Su Yi and equipped with these more than 3,000 officers and soldiers.

This is because the area of this military camp is not large enough, otherwise Su Yi is going to summon twenty navy-type mid-level combat biochemical people and two thousand navy-type junior combat biochemical people.

The New Year's gift package given by the system not only made Su Yi's strength in his hands multiply many times at once, but also made Su Yi's ambition swell again.

Since the royal family of the Liuyun Empire has given up on Xingang City, then I, Su Yi, are not welcome, as long as I can block the attack of the Celestial Star Empire's army in Newport City, then even if the war between the Liuyun Empire and the Celestial Star Empire is over in the future, the royal family of the Liuyun Empire will not want to take Xingang City back from my Su Yi's hands.

Seven days ago, the system also released the task of holding on to Xingang City for thirty days, which is another reason why Su Yi is determined to defend Xingang City, not to mention that the best way for Su Yi to improve the rank in the system is to fight.

He Yunfei and the newly summoned all-round high-level elite combat biochemical Wang Chengliang were originally very opposed to Su Yi's crazy plan, but after learning that Su Yi still had a former dreadnought battleship, a dreadnought battleship and more than 2,000 naval officers and men, they were finally persuaded by Su Yi and began to formulate a battle plan to defend Xingang City.

Soon, Baron Su Mingyuan, who was far away in Fushan County, Anping County, Hedong Province, received a telegram from Zhou Xu.

According to the administrative division of the Liuyun Empire, each province has several counties under its jurisdiction, and each county has several counties under its jurisdiction, such as Xingang and Anping are both county seats, and Fushan is only the county seat.

In a study room in the Baron's Mansion in Fushan County, Baron Su Mingyuan slapped the telegram in his hand on the table, "This rabbit cub doesn't know how thick the sky is!" I don't know where I got hundreds of veterans and a batch of weapons and ammunition, so I dared to say that I was ashamed to stick to Xingang City, and immediately sent a telegram to tell that rabbit cub to hurry back to Fushan County! In order to get the War Department to revoke the previous order, I took out a full 100,000 silver dollars, which is 100,000 dollars! ”

The housekeeper Zhou Chenggui smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, the temper of the fourth young master, you don't know it, Zhou Xu and they can't make the fourth young master change his mind." ”

Baron Su Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Then send a telegram to Zhou Xu and ask him to lead the troops to tie Su Yi back!" ”

The housekeeper Zhou Chenggui hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, the fourth young master now has hundreds of veterans and hundreds of guns under his hands, in case ......"

Baron Su Mingyuan patted his head and said with annoyance: "That rabbit cub, I haven't let me worry since I was a child, but he is my Su Mingyuan's son after all, Cheng Gui, you can help me think of what can be done." ”

Butler Zhou Chenggui sighed and said, "My lord, unless the Second Infantry Brigade is also allowed to stay, there may be a slight possibility of holding Xingang City." ”

Baron Su Mingyuan immediately shook his head and said: "According to the intelligence of the War Department, the infantry wing sent by the Celestial Star Empire to Xingang City this time is a fully equipped infantry wing, with a total strength of eight thousand people, even if the Second Infantry Brigade is left in Xingang City, it will be an egg hitting a stone, and our Su family has paid such a big price to let the War Department revoke the previous order, and the Second Infantry Brigade must be evacuated from Xingang City immediately!" ”

The armies of the Liuyun Empire and the Celestial Star Empire are basically the same in terms of establishment at the wing level, and each standard infantry wing has four infantry brigades, a mortar squadron, an infantry artillery squadron, an engineer squadron, a cavalry squadron, a baggage brigade and a wing headquarters, with a total strength of about 8,000 people.

Hearing the resoluteness in Baron Su Mingyuan's tone, the housekeeper Zhou Chenggui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, you must know that one of his sons is in the Second Infantry Brigade of Fushan County, and the housekeeper Zhou Chenggui doesn't want his son to be buried for Su Yi, who has a brain burned.

"My lord, then send a telegram to Zhou Xu again, and ask Zhou Xu to persuade the fourth young master again, hoping that the fourth young master can turn back!"

"Well—that's all there is to it."

On the afternoon of January 3, the housekeeper Zhou Chenggui took a telegram and rushed into the study where Baron Su Mingyuan was in a panic, "My lord, it's broken!" The fourth young master actually made it clear that he wanted to live and die with Xingang City! ”

Baron Su Mingyuan's expression at this time was very calm, "When the Second Infantry Brigade retreats, leave a boat for that rabbit cub, since it has been clearly electrified, now that rabbit cub can't leave Newport City even if he wants to!" ”

In the palace of Liuyun City, the capital of the Liuyun Empire, Li Hong, the emperor of the Liuyun Empire, held a telegram and said to Cao Ziliang, the prime minister of the Liuyun Empire, with a sigh: "This kid named Su Yi is very tough, he only has a squadron in his hand, and he dares to defend Xingang City to the death. ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no matter what, Su Yi has this courage, we should vigorously publicize Su Yi and set up a heroic image for the people of our empire!" ”

Emperor Li Hong nodded slightly, "Then do what the prime minister wants!" In this war with the Celestial Star Empire, our Liuyun Empire has been suffering, and there has been no good news from the front line, and setting up a heroic figure can also boost the morale of the army and the people. ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

At this time, Emperor Li Hong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you send a force to Xingang City, or send a fleet to take that Su Yi out?" ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the land route of Xingang City has been cut off by the army of the Celestial Star Empire, and although the Celestial Star Empire is not a naval power, the naval strength of the Celestial Star Empire is above the navy of our Liuyun Empire. ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang's meaning is obvious, it is impossible to let the navy of the Liuyun Empire take risks for the sake of a Su Yi.

Emperor Li Hong said with a wry smile: "Our Liuyun Empire's navy is too weak, the capital ships only have two former dreadnought battleships and six ironclad battleships, and the navy of the Celestial Star Empire seems to already have six former dreadnought battleships and twelve ironclad battleships?" ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang nodded and said: "That's true, and there is news that the Celestial Star Empire has ordered two dreadnought battleships with a full load displacement of more than 25,000 tons to the Monia Empire, the fourth naval power in the world, and this dreadnought battleship is equipped with eight 330 mm main guns, and it will be able to join the sequence of the Celestial Star Empire's navy in June this year." ”

Emperor Li Hong said gloomily: "The shipbuilding industry of our Liuyun Empire is too backward, we can only build gunboats and torpedo boats, and we can't even build destroyers and protective cruisers. ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, although our Liuyun Empire's navy is a little weak, our Liuyun Empire has more than six million land forces, and other countries dare not underestimate us. ”

Emperor Li Hong immediately said: "Since our Liuyun Empire has such a huge army, then let the military department quickly mobilize the army and drive the army of the Celestial Star Empire out of Hedong Province!" ”

Prime Minister Cao Ziliang coughed and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the final winner of this war must be our Liuyun Empire, but the strength of the Celestial Star Empire's army is no worse than our Liuyun Empire, so we still need to be patient." ”
