Marshal Kayano, the commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Country's army, had a good idea to let the Ice Lion Army in the south of Yueyang City directly give up the passage to the south of Yueyang City, hoping that the Great Qin army in Yueyang City could evacuate Yueyang City from this passage, so as to achieve the goal of the Ice Lion Kingdom army to capture Yueyang City.

However, the Great Qin army in Yueyang City had no intention of abandoning the city and fleeing, and also sent a force of tens of thousands of people to attack the county seat of Yuhong County south of Yueyang City at night.

Although even if Yuhong County is captured by the Great Qin army in Yueyang City, the Great Qin army in Yueyang City will not be in contact with the reinforcements, but once the Great Qin army in Yueyang City captures Yuhong County, it means that the Great Qin army in Yueyang City can recruit hundreds of thousands of young men from Yuhong County to replenish.

Because the south of Yueyang City, hundreds of thousands of Ice Lion Army have been gathered, so in the county seat of Yuhong County, the Ice Lion Army only put a garrison infantry brigade to garrison, Marshal Callano saw the intention of the Great Qin Army in Yueyang City, and immediately mobilized several divisions to support the county seat of Yuhong County, but unfortunately the reinforcements sent by Marshal Kayano not only did not save the county seat of Yuhong County, but was defeated by the tank troops and two temporary divisions under Su Yi, and several divisions of the Ice Lion Army supported Yuhong County, They have lost a lot of troops.

In the early morning of April 10, 2538, the county seat of Yuhong County was defeated by the Provisional Twelfth Division under Su Yi, and at noon on April 11, the Ice Lion Army in more than a dozen towns in Yuhong County was also swept away by the Provisional Twelfth Division, so that the entire Yuhong County fell into the control of the army under Su Yi.

Marshal Cajano, the commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Army, was of course unwilling to let Yuhong County be occupied by the Great Qin army in Yueyang City, and soon gathered five Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and six Garrison Infantry Divisions to try to regain control of Yuhong County, and at the very least, to re-cut off the connection between Yueyang City and Yuhong County.

However, these five Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and six Garrison Infantry Divisions were not yet formed, and all of them lost a lot of troops in the previous battle in Yueyang City, and the combined eleven divisions were only a little more than 150,000 people.

Su Yi had long been prepared for the counteroffensive of the Ice Lion Army, not only left the tank regiment directly under the headquarters in Yuhong County, but also transferred all the five provisional divisions under his command to Yuhong County, so that the Ice Lion Army could not even cut off the connection between Yueyang City and Yuhong County.

And due to the battle in Yuhong County, as well as the fiasco of the original team in the south of Yueyang City, the Ice Lion Country army gathered in the Yueyang City area once again had a shortage of troops, and the Ice Lion Country army had to temporarily stop the attack of the other three urban districts in Yueyang City, and the Ice Lion Country army in these three urban areas, in accordance with the order of Marshal Kayano, launched a defense on the spot.

Although the army of the Ice Lion Country occupied Yuhong County for a short time, the crimes committed against the people of Yuhong County were also innumerable, after Yuhong County was recovered by the army under Su Yi, the people of Yuhong County did not need Su Yi's order to recruit at all, and a large number of young men enthusiastically joined the army, and in just three days, Yuhong County provided Su Yi with a full 400,000 soldiers.

Among the more than 400,000 soldiers who joined Su Yi's command, some of them were the rout of the Great Qin Army hidden in Yuhong County, and there were even many officers.

Su Yi did not refuse, and incorporated these defeated troops hidden in Yuhong County, and even many of the officers in the defeated army, into the troops under his command, and Su Yi also formed two new provisional divisions for each of the three temporary armies at one time, so that each temporary army under Su Yi's command had six provisional divisions.

In the newly formed provisional division, the officers were all drawn from the original twelve provisional divisions to ensure Su Yi's control over the various provisional divisions under his command, and those officers in the defeated army were arranged by Su Yi in the original twelve provisional divisions according to their previous military ranks.

On April 16, Marshal Cajano, the commander-in-chief of the army of the Ice Lion Country, ordered the eleven divisions to enter Yuhong County to fight and withdraw from the territory of Yuhong County. It's gone.

In just a few days of fierce fighting, the five Praetorian Mechanized Infantry Divisions and six Garrison Infantry Divisions of the Ice Lion Nation army entered Yuhong County, losing almost half of their troops, and several divisions were disabled.

As for the 155mm howitzer, Su Yi also adopted the method of transporting the Type 69 main battle tank, and asked an arsenal of the Tang Empire to divide the 155mm howitzer into multiple parts, and then Su Yi transported it to the world of the Great Qin Kingdom through the Star Gate, and then asked the workers in Yueyang City to reassemble the multiple parts into a 155mm howitzer.

On the evening of April 16, at the forward headquarters of the Ice Lion Nation army outside Yueyang City, Marshal Kajano asked the deputy commander-in-chief, Army General Gru, in a hoarse voice: "Have the five Janissary Mechanized Infantry Divisions and the six Garrison Infantry Divisions in Yuhong County been withdrawn?" ”

Gru nodded and said: "The eleven divisions have all withdrawn, but the losses of each division are very large, for example, the thirty-sixth garrison infantry division has only more than 1,700 people left, and the Great Qin army in Yueyang City actually has howitzers with a caliber of more than 150 mm, and there are still a lot of them, which makes the artillery units of our Ice Lion Country can no longer suppress the artillery of the Great Qin army, and the next siege battle against Yueyang City will become more difficult." ”

Marshal Kayano sighed and said, "I really can't understand, since the Great Qin army in Yueyang City has a large number of howitzers with a caliber of more than 150 mm, why didn't they take it out earlier, instead of waiting for our Ice Lion Nation army to try to recapture Yuhong County?" ”

Gru smiled bitterly and said: "The Great Qin army in Yueyang City is too unexpected, it is not like the army of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the sophistication of its weapons and equipment even surpasses our Ice Lion Country Army by several levels. ”

Marshal Kayano said a little gloomily at this time: "The cabinet is very dissatisfied with our performance on the battlefield of Yueyang City, and the cabinet requires me to draw up a detailed battle plan again for the unfavorable situation on the battlefield of Yueyang City, Gru, what do you think we should do next?" ”

Gru looked at Marshal Cajano without saying anything, but did not immediately express his opinion.

"Gru, if you have anything to say, just say it! With our relationship over the years, there is no need to hide anything. Marshal Cajano saw the hesitation on Gru's face.

Gru then nodded slightly, "Marshal, in fact, in my opinion, our Ice Lion Nation army has fallen into a very big predicament on the battlefield of Yueyang City, can we consider postponing the capture of Yueyang City?" After all, the losses of our troops attacking Yueyang City are too great, and it is best to give the divisions with serious losses some time to recover. ”

Marshal Kayano was silent for a moment and said, "Marshal Gurit also sent me a secret telegram to persuade me to end this attack on Yueyang City and abandon the several counties south of Yueyang City that have been captured by our Ice Lion Nation army. ”

In the army of the Ice Lion Country, there are a total of three marshals, namely Gurit, Callano, and Davide, all three of whom are currently members of the Ice Lion Cabinet.

Gru couldn't help but be stunned: "Why did Marshal Gurit suggest abandoning those counties south of Yueyang City?" Once those counties were abandoned, our encirclement of the Great Qin army in Yueyang City would be completely destroyed. ”

Marshal Kayano explained slowly: "According to Marshal Gurit's analysis, Su Yi, the general of the Great Qin Army who is now leading troops to resist our Ice Lion Kingdom army in Yueyang City, only came to prominence in this war, Su Yi does not really belong to any of the thirteen factions of the Great Qin Army, but he actually controls one of the most elite troops of the Great Qin State, according to the inferiority of human beings, maybe when our Ice Lion Kingdom army gathers forces to attack Yueyang City again, Su Yi will no longer exist." ”

Gru's eyes suddenly lit up, "Marshal, this possibility is very high, what humans are best at is infighting, maybe relying on the thirteen factions of the Great Qin military, we can get rid of Su Yi, a strong rival for our Ice Lion Country." ”

Marshal Cajano then smiled bitterly and sighed again, "It's just that I retreated from Yueyang City like this, I am really unwilling in my heart!" ”

Gru pondered for a moment and said, "Marshal, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as we can regather enough troops, we can launch another attack on Yueyang City at any time." ”

On the morning of April 18, 2538, Marshal Cajano, the commander-in-chief of the Ice Lion Kingdom army, who was in charge of commanding the attack on Yueyang City, ordered all the Ice Lion Kingdom troops in the Yueyang City area to withdraw from Yueyang City one after another, and the Ice Lion Army occupying several counties south of Yueyang City also took the initiative to abandon these counties according to Marshal Kayano's order.

However, the main force of the Ice Lion Kingdom army evacuated from the Yueyang City area did not withdraw too far, Marshal Kayano led most of the Ice Lion Country army, only retreated to the north of Phoenix Mountain, and sent heavy troops to deploy in the Phoenix Mountain area, and at the same time, the Ice Lion Country began to recruit more reservists to supplement the various divisions with serious losses in the Yueyang City battlefield through rail, road and air transportation.

After Su Yi found that the Ice Lion Kingdom army in the Yueyang City area took the initiative to retreat, he did not send troops to take advantage of the situation to pursue him, but sent several temporary divisions to pocket Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County, and Huining County, which were abandoned by the Ice Lion Kingdom army south of Yueyang City, and the total population of these four counties exceeded 11 million.

However, when Su Yi's army regained Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County, and Huining County, it bordered the areas controlled by other units of the Great Qin Army.

In Su Yi's urban defense headquarters in Yueyang City, Sun Guodong, deputy commander of urban defense, said to Su Yi with a solemn face: "Commander, although the siege of Yueyang City is relieved, it is a fortunate thing, but with the forces of the Ministry of Defense, it will definitely re-enter Yueyang City, I think we should take some precautions?" ”

Su Yi understood what Sun Guodong meant, after all, Su Yi was just a company clerk a few months ago, but now he has become the commander in charge of hundreds of thousands of elite armies, which will inevitably make some people jealous, and the hundreds of thousands of elite armies under Su Yi's command are likely to be a big fat piece in the eyes of some factions, maybe there are some factions that are eyeing up and preparing to carve up the hundreds of thousands of elites under Su Yi's command!

Su Yi said calmly: "The establishment of the three temporary armies was obtained by my Su Yi risking his life to stay in Yueyang City, and the supply of weapons, ammunition and other materials for hundreds of thousands of soldiers was also obtained by me Su Yi through some channels, and even the military salaries of hundreds of thousands of soldiers were also paid by me Su Yi, if anyone wants to sit back and enjoy the success, then they have to ask me if the gun in Su Yi's hand agrees!" ”

A hint of ferocity flashed on Sun Guodong's face, "The commander is right, the provisional First Army, the provisional Second Army, and the provisional Third Army were all formed by the commander with great difficulty, if anyone dares to reach out, we will chop off their hands!" ”

Su Yi immediately said: "Guodong, most of the high-level officers of our three temporary armies were originally the division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders of our Great Qin Army, and they all belonged to various factions of the military before, so we really have to take some precautions against these high-level officers, and we can't let them pull the troops away." ”

Sun Guodong sighed and said, "Commander, I am worried that the high-ranking officers of our three temporary armies will be co-opted by various factions. ”

Su Yi said in a deep voice: "Everyone has their own aspirations, if any of the high-ranking officers of the three provisional armies are willing to leave, I will never stop them, but if someone wants to take the troops away, then don't blame me Su Yi is not polite, Guodong, you can help me spread these words, so that all the officers above the battalion level of the three provisional armies know where my Su Yi's bottom line is." ”

Sun Guodong nodded and said, "I immediately conveyed the commander's words to the officers above the battalion level. ”

Su Yi continued: "Although the Ice Lion Country army has given up the attack on Yueyang City, the main force of the Ice Lion Country army that attacked Yueyang City before did not go far, but stationed troops north of Phoenix Mountain, and the Ice Lion Country army also stationed heavy troops on the front line of Phoenix Mountain, so that the Ice Lion Kingdom army can cross Phoenix Mountain at any time and attack Yueyang City again, so we must also continue to expand the scale of the three temporary armies to deal with the next attack on Yueyang City by the Ice Lion Country army." ”

"Commander, rest assured, we will recruit as many young men as possible in Yuhong County, Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County and Huining County."

"My requirement for conscription is that the more the merrier, and the problems of weapons and equipment, logistics and supplies, and military salaries are all solved by me!"
