Suddenly suppressed by strong firepower, the Japanese soldiers were unprepared, and before they could organize an effective defense, a charge of the defenders had already broken the resistance of the Japanese army. Unexpectedly, the other side's reinforcements had arrived, and the Japanese army, which had been on the offensive, did not think about defending at all, and they did not build any fortifications.

After a few hits of the heavy fire of the defenders, the Japanese soldiers could only choose to retreat, and it was very dangerous to retreat on the battlefield, especially when the opponent was charging.

The Japanese reserve divisions that had lost their formation first began to retreat, and the several regular divisions and regiments that were under attack could still hold their positions, but when they saw their own soldiers retreating, the morale of the last ones also disappeared, and those regular divisions and regiments also joined the ranks of the retreat.

Shan Shan Youpeng was also shocked by the other party's suddenly powerful firepower, but he soon came to his senses. Seeing that the army's morale was unstable, there were deserters in the reserve division, and Yama Prefecture Youpeng attached great importance to it, and he immediately ordered officers at all levels to stop the rout.

At first, the officers also tried to prevent the emergence of deserters, and there were some results under the high pressure of officers at all levels, but as the fire of the Wehrmacht became stronger, the rain of shells exploded overhead, and the dense bullets slid past them, killing one companion after another, and the soldiers of the reserve division, who were already poorly trained, finally collapsed.

Seeing the rout of the reserve division, Shan Shan Youpeng pulled out his saber and wanted to take his own guards to stop it. Before he could reach the front, the regular divisions, whose morale had collapsed, also joined the ranks of the fleeers.

The red-eyed Youpeng of Shanxian County slashed to death several deserters with a knife, but soon he was also rushed by more and more routs and became unstable, and under the wrapping of the rout, Youpeng of Shanxian County, who was powerless to stop, had to retreat to the south, and within an hour, the Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded tens of thousands of people, and the position that took more than ten days to seize was lost almost instantly.

In the face of the rapid rout of the Japanese soldiers, the defense army was a little late to react, and even Lin Yangchun did not expect the Japanese soldiers to retreat so quickly. Lin Yangchun turned around twice in the room with his hands behind his back and said: "Order the troops to throw away all unnecessary equipment and pursue quickly, and not give the Japanese soldiers a chance to regroup, and drive them in the direction of the reinforcements of the Japanese soldiers." Du Guangting's 4th Division and two brigades of Wei Lihui's 2nd Division were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and holding Liujing and Hanjing.

The units of the defense force that received the order handed over all the heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons that were inconvenient to carry to the Fourth Division for safekeeping, and all the soldiers of the army threw away their bedding, steel helmets, and even dry rations, and joined the pursuit team with only their personal weapons.

Shan County Youpeng, who originally wanted to retreat for dozens of miles to gather his troops, suddenly found that he couldn't stop, and the Chinese defense forces behind him were desperately chasing after the formation, making the Japanese soldiers who had already been frightened even more desperately fleeing.

Under the pressure of the pursuers behind, the Japanese soldiers had entered a state of near madness, and in order to escape as soon as possible, they even used guns to open the way and shoot their companions who stood in the way.

When someone started to do this, everyone stopped paying attention, and in the rout, gunfire began to ring one after another, and more and more corpses were under the feet of the rout. The short road from Liujing to Hanjing was paved with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and the number of casualties was not less than the number of those killed in the battle against Liujing.

Just when Liujing's defense army was fighting smoothly, the reinforcements of the Japanese army, a total of eight reserve divisions, had arrived under Hanjing, and seeing the boundless hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers, Wei Lihui's heart was heavy, after all, there were only more than 3,000 people in his hands, and the gap in strength was too big, and it was almost impossible to hold Hanjing.

The Japanese soldiers used front-loading muskets, and their tactics inevitably followed the linear tactics of the musket era. Seeing that Hankyung had been captured by the defense forces, the Japanese soldiers began to form a line and attacked by the way.

These Japanese reinforcements soon formed a long, multi-layered line in accordance with the rules of the infantry drill code, and although the formation was somewhat irregular due to lack of training, they were still numerous. Seeing that their numerical superiority was huge, the morale of the Japanese army soared, and under the command of the officers, these Japanese troops who were not equipped with artillery began to line up horizontally towards the wall of Hanjing City.

Wei Lihui stood at the head of the city, looking at the black and oppressive Japanese soldiers outside the city, his heart was heavy. I don't know how the battle of Lu Dao Liujing is, he doesn't have any bottom in his heart. If the battle of Liujing is still stalemate, then he will become a lone army deep behind enemy lines, without reinforcements, relying on more than 3,000 people in his hands alone, plus more than 10,000 Hanping defeated troops who have been collected in the past few days, he will not be able to withstand the huge Hanjing City at all.

More than 100,000 Japanese soldiers stepped on the drum beat of the snare drum and advanced slowly, although the front was a little crooked, but under the hard command of officers at all levels, they could barely maintain their integrity. Seeing that the opponent had gradually entered his own range, Wei Lihui ordered all the soldiers to prepare for battle, and just as they were about to start shooting, a rout of black pressure appeared in the west of Hanjing City.

Under the pressure of the pursuers, these routs exerted unimaginable speed, and it took only one and a half days to complete the 60-kilometer mountain road and appear at the foot of Hanjing.

When these frightened routs saw their reinforcements, they naturally ran towards their own people out of human instinct. The Japanese reinforcements are all reserve forces, from officers to soldiers, are inexperienced, if they decisively prevent the rout from approaching, it is still possible to continue to maintain combat effectiveness, which will cause great trouble to the defense forces that have lost their formation after them.

It is a pity that the decision of the reserve officers was a little late, and in the face of their own rout, these inexperienced officers could not give the order to shoot at their own people, they just shouted loudly, trying to make the rout bypass the line. But in the midst of hundreds of thousands of troops, the shouts of these officers were soon drowned out in the boundless crowd. As soon as he hesitated, the rout had already rushed into the ranks of the reinforcements, completely breaking up the already untidy front of the reinforcements.

Wei Lihui saw that there was an opportunity, leaving only one battalion to defend Hanjing, and the rest of the troops opened the city gate and rushed out.

Defeated and fled without a battle, so that those reinforcements of the Japanese soldiers felt quite embarrassed, many of them still wanted to turn around and resist, but unfortunately after the loss of the formation, they had no ability to resist, these people were quickly shot in large numbers by the dense rain of bullets of the defense army, and the reinforcements of the Japanese reserve division, who did not have much will to fight, also joined the rout.

The light advance at the beginning of the pursuit is to disrupt the opponent's formation as soon as possible and hasten the rout of the enemy army. Now that the enemy army has been completely defeated, and the defeat of the Japanese state has become a foregone conclusion, in the face of the rout and fleeing Japanese army to attack south, this is a long-term task, and it cannot be completed without supplies.

Seeing that many soldiers didn't even bring dry and cold food, Wei Lihui didn't dare to slack off, he immediately ordered to open the material warehouse in Hanjing, distribute a large amount of dry food, and hoarded a large amount of materials in Hanjing before the Japanese army, and there was no problem in supporting the tens of thousands of people in the defense army to eat, after all, this pursuit of the Japanese soldiers was not a matter of one or two days, and the soldiers could not be allowed to pursue hungry.

In this way, the defenders pursued all the way, and the Japanese soldiers fled desperately. Wei Lihui's troops also became logistics troops after receiving the support of Du Guangting's troops, transporting food for the pursuing troops.

Hearing that the Heavenly Empire sent troops to help them fight the Japanese soldiers, the people of the Han Ping Kingdom spontaneously organized themselves and used their own livestock carts and even people to carry supplies for the army.

With the strong support of the people of the Han Ping Kingdom, the defense army was well supplied, and it was able to pursue by taking a shortcut road, which was much faster than the speed of the Japanese army, which could only rely on grabbing food supplies and had been advancing along the main road due to unfamiliar terrain.

After many days of intense pursuit, part of the 1st Division finally overtook the Japanese army with a rapid march, established a defensive position near Phnom Penh Road, and blocked the Japanese army's retreat, and the remaining more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers were helplessly blocked in a small town called Xinyili.

If the 14th Division defending Phnom Penh Province had cooperated, it was still very likely that the Japanese army would have broken through the defense line of the 1st Division and fled back to the port of Busan, but unfortunately, after hearing the news of the rout of the main force, the 14th Division had already retreated to the port of Busan with the 12th and 13th divisions defending the logistics supply line.

At this time, most of these routs of the Japanese army had lost their guns, how could it be possible to organize themselves to break through the opposite defensive line, the Japanese army stopped fleeing south, and a day later they were surrounded by the troops of the defense army who had caught up with Xinyili.

After the navy suffered heavy losses, the Japanese government also tried to use the army to regain its inferiority, at least to occupy the Han Ping Kingdom to create an established fact, but I did not expect that its own army would not be able to fight so much, and it was defeated in less than a month, and more than a dozen divisions of the main force were even surrounded. The panicked government immediately sought contact with the Lanfang Empire, hoping for peace talks, and at the same time asked for help from the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire.

The Wa Kingdom was originally raised by the Sahr Empire to contain the Lanfang Empire, and of course the Saar Empire did not want it to fall like this. The two countries immediately dispatched the entire fleet of the Eastern Continent to the north, cruising in the eastern waters of the Eastern Continent, and at the same time submitted a credential to the Lanfang Empire hoping to mediate the hostile relations between the Lanfang Empire.

Under pressure from the sea, the Lanfang Empire immediately ordered Fang Xiaoyu to stop the attack and negotiate with the Japanese government, according to the laws of the Lanfang Empire and the covenant of the lords, the main contributor to the battle would be the decider of the negotiations.
