Chapter 324: Surrender Again
readx;
After getting his own back road town Guocang City was taken by the Beichen army again, and after another 500,000 Beichen troops appeared in front of him, Edward led his 500,000 horses to flee in a hurried southeast direction. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info hopes to be able to jump out of the encirclement of the Beichen army and run to the naval camp before the Beichen army encircled. As long as they reach the naval camp, then relying on the two million troops of this naval division, even if they can't defeat the Beichen army that came here, there is still no big problem for the army to withdraw to the country.
Along the way, Edward gathered the troops scattered in the various cities, and the 500,000 army became 800,000 horses, of which 100,000 horses were selected from the slaves of the Beichen Kingdom. With 800,000 horses in hand, Edward still ran towards the southeast navy. Is 800,000 troops strong, Edward didn't think so. How could he not understand the strength of the Beichen Army, the shadow of the army wearing red armor, holding sharp weapons, and indifferent eyes lingered in Edward's mind.
The strength of the Beichen Army is obvious to all, and the Beichen Army ranks first among the top ten army powers in the world. The second place is the Xia Army of the Dragon Soaring in the Wild. The third is the legendary English player's Sea of the Dead, but few people see it.
Moreover, the Beichen army that is now besieging him is not just 600,000 people, but has expanded to 1 million people. Wang Ping's army, which recaptured Zhenguocang, immediately expanded to more than 200,000 horses after the follow-up logistics troops arrived. Behind him, the army led by Lin Hu also converged with various troops, reaching more than 800,000 troops. After all, now that the situation on the entire battlefield has completely fallen to the Beichen Kingdom, the east of the capital does not need too many troops to continue to garrison.
One million horses, only 200,000 more than Edward's men. However, Edward just didn't dare to fight. Actually, Edward still thinks too much. The Beichen Army is now far from the army that dominated the world in the past, and hundreds of thousands of the most elite troops in the Shalu Kingdom were wiped out in the First World War, so that the Beichen Kingdom is still burdened with a difficult back. Although the current standing army of Beichen Kingdom is an elite army, it is far inferior to the royal army of the past. Just like the 100,000 horses of the slaughtering army and the beheading army before, under the siege of the 800,000 army of the Lanna country, although the city was lost, it was replaced by the casualties of the nearly 300,000 army of the Lanna country.
You know, this is still the case that the combat effectiveness of the army has decreased after the decapitation army and the city slaughtering army have lost their royal glory. But even so, it has not lost the rampant slogan of the previous one-on-three.
The combat effectiveness of the current Beichen Standing Army is estimated to be a little stronger than that of the Lanna* team. If the 800,000 Lanna army swore to fight to the death, the Beichen army would not have 500,000 casualties, and it would not be able to eat the 800,000 enemy troops. And if it is placed in the previous royal army, it only needs 300,000 people to be able to completely eat this enemy army, and ensure that its own casualties are definitely not higher than 100,000. It can be seen from this that the combat effectiveness of the Beichen Army has decreased much after losing 600,000 royal troops.
But Edward didn't think so, in his eyes, although the Beichen Army lost a large number of troops in the Battle of Shalu, the elite troops still did not decrease. And the current standing army is the head of the army that dominated the world army back then. In short, it was the previous Severed Head Army and the City Slaughter Army that created a false impression for Edward. In Edward's view, the Slaughter Army and the Severed Head Army were the regular troops of the Beichen Kingdom. And those troops that were encountered in the previous landing should be garrison troops.
In this confusion, Edward mistakenly thought that the four million standing army of the Beichen Kingdom were all the powerful Beichen Army in the past.
Less than a day into the march, Edward received another terrible piece of news. The navy was completely annihilated, nearly 3,000 warships were burned, 2 million sailors and 400,000 were killed, and the remaining 1.6 million troops all surrendered to the Beichen National Naval Division!
This news completely made Edward stupid!
What's the situation? His own two million sailor troops were actually defeated by the Beichen Kingdom, which only had one million sailors?
That's a super fleet with nearly 3,000 warships and more than 300 main warships! With such strength, it can already rank among the top ten naval flow players in the Beacon World, and now it has been destroyed by the Beichen Kingdom! How powerful is the North Star Kingdom? The army dominates the Beacon Fire Continent, and the navy can also annihilate its own navy! In other words, Beichen is now ranked first in the army, and the navy is at least in the top nine!
This kind of strength completely shocked Edward, and it wasn't until Edward completely woke up that he slapped himself hard!
Why did you teach the lesson you learned a few years ago? At that time, one million naval divisions on the Eastern Front, more than 3,000 warships, and more than 6 million army troops were all able to land on the land of Beichen Kingdom. And on the western front battlefield of Beichen Kingdom, there are also four or five million combined forces attacking. In the face of such a big enemy, Beichen Kingdom was able to turn defeat into victory under the two-front battle. With only 2 million troops and 2 million navy now, he has the potential to capture the tiger's whiskers?
Edward hate!
If it weren't for his arrogance, thinking that the main army of Beichen Kingdom was now at war with the Cossack Kingdom, and the domestic defense strength was insufficient, how could there be this current situation!
The navy is completely destroyed, what is the 800,000 army running to the southeast now? Running over, it's just facing the vast sea, and there is nothing to do!
What to do?
Do you still surrender to the Beichen Kingdom?
Will Beichen still accept its surrender?
Will Beichen still let himself go? I'm afraid not!
The 800,000-strong army of Lanna was soon subdued, and nearly a million troops were encamped on the spot under Edward's command. Many soldiers don't understand, aren't we already surrounded by Beichen now? Why don't you hurry up and jump out of the encirclement, but set up camp here. Originally, it might be possible to jump out of the encirclement of the Beichen Army by speeding up the march, but now that it is encamped here, the result is only to sit and wait for death.
The soldiers were puzzled, but they belonged to the lowest level of the army, and even the lower and middle officers had no say. However, the generals of Lanna Country are different. Not long after Edward gave the order to camp in place, a group of generals from Lanna came to meet Edward.
"Your Majesty, we are now almost surrounded by the million-strong army of the Beichen Kingdom, why do we still camp here?" A very old, white-bearded old general asked suspiciously. In the army, he is the oldest, the most senior, and the most weighty in his speech.
As soon as the old general finished speaking, a group of generals in the tent immediately agreed.
Edward sat down on the chair in the tent, sighed calmly, and then said, "Alas! We can't go back now, the navy was defeated by the Beichen National Naval Division, and the whole army was wiped out. Here's the battle report, take a look! ”
With that, Edward handed the old general a creed in his hand. After listening to what his king said, the old general's heart was shocked, not to mention how fierce it was. The navy is completely wiped out? That's a navy of two million, and nearly 3,000 warships, and it was actually wiped out by the Beichen Kingdom, which only has a million sailor troops?
The information written on the creed once again confirmed the fact that the two million navy of the Lanna Kingdom was destroyed by the Beichen Kingdom in World War I. The old general's eyes were confused, and the shock in his heart lingered. The creed soon reached the hands of every general in the tent, and after reading it, these people did not perform as well as the old general.
After reading it, one of the young generals actually stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the admiral is so incompetent. It was just a matter of not defeating the Beichen National Water Division, and he actually wiped out all the two million troops. Now our army is also in a desperate situation, and if this person is not killed, it is not enough to settle the army's heart! ”
Edward was dumbfounded,, you said that nicely. You don't need to say that Lao Tzu also knows that the admiral is incompetent, and he is very angry, but he can't kill it. The Admiral still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, and even one of the Navy's soldiers has not yet been seen. Lao Tzu wanted to cut him, but Kun Nai couldn't find anyone.
I thought that this guy who came out was stupid enough, but what Edward didn't expect was that a few more young generals popped up, and they were ashamed to say that they would hang the admiral who commanded the navy. Edward, who was still thinking quietly, is now completely confused, who is this Nima.
Only the old general stood at the front, quietly thinking about the problem.
"Your Majesty, the situation facing our army is now very dangerous. Are we going to fight to the death, or" The old general didn't have the courage to say the last two words. After all, it is not yet the most dangerous moment, and it is clearly not the time to say the word surrender.
Edward naturally knew what the old general meant, and it must be a very great spirit to fight to the death. However, who does not have a desire to continue living, surrender is undoubtedly the best for themselves now. It's just that if you surrender, you will definitely be cleared out of the game by Beichen Kingdom. Beichen has already done it once, and this time it is estimated that he will not let himself go again no matter what.
None of the people present were fools, and when the old general said this, everyone in the tent looked at Edward. It would certainly be unpleasant to say surrender yourself, but if your own majesty said it, it would be different.
In the end, Edward sighed and said, "Give the order, dismantle the camp, all the soldiers lay down their arms, and surrender to the Beichen Kingdom!" ”
Fight to the death, Edward thought. No matter whether you fight or surrender, you can't escape the ending of being cleared out of the game. It's just that, looking at the dozen or so generals under him, he is thinking about the 800,000 army outside. These people are all people who have followed him to conquer the great territory, they all have wives and children, let them die for themselves, Edward still can't do it. Even if these people are just game data, when a living person is standing in front of you, you can't treat it as game data.
It's not just Edward who has such a plot, and everyone who plays the game is the only player who doesn't feel this way. Including Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen also treats these game data as a living person. After all, if it weren't for the subconscious regard of these game data as living people, Xiao Chen would probably not dare to go up anyway when he faced Concubine Min and Concubine Xiang in bed. Especially when you think that the woman with you is a pile of data, no one will behave normally.
Edward's performance was very good, at least Wang Ping thought so. Although the other party has been in charge of Annan County for several days, he almost turned Annan County into ruins. But these can be built, and they don't cost much silver. In contrast, if the 800,000 troops of Lanna Kingdom fought to the death, the casualties of the Beichen Army would definitely not be small. It can be said that from the very beginning, Wang Ping did not plan to have a decisive battle with the army of Lanna, and he also had the intention of persuading him to surrender.
The surrender of the Lanna army was very smooth, and there was only one request to guarantee that the surrendered army would not be slaughtered, and Wang Ping agreed without hesitation. 800,000 captives, that's a good labor force. Beichen Kingdom is now planning to fully build the domestic Chi Road Division, which is a huge project, with these troops, it can be done a lot.
After successfully capturing the 800,000 troops of Lanna Kingdom, Wang Ping began to preside over the task of post-war recovery in Annan County. All of the Lanna Army, including the 1.6 million people captured by the Mariners, were scattered to various parts of Annam, and the reconstruction work was carried out. Originally, because of the war, many people who fled to Donglin County also returned to their homes. The slaves who accompanied the Han people, and even helped the Han people, also officially obtained the foreign household registration of the Beichen Kingdom. In other words, they have now been freed from the confines of slaves and have become citizens of Beichen Kingdom, enjoying a little worse treatment than Han citizens of Beichen Kingdom. Of course, if they make meritorious contributions again, or do something to contribute to the Beichen State, they will have the household registration of the Han people of the Beichen Kingdom.
As for the slaves who took advantage of the invasion of the Lanna army and waited for the opportunity to cause chaos, there was no good end. All of them were shown to the public, and even the 100,000 slaves who had joined the Lanna* team did not escape.
Edward's final ending did not become a ghost under the knife, but Xiao Chen was kind again. Because after learning that Edward was a top student in the naval department of the Royal Military Academy in the United Kingdom in reality, Xiao Chen immediately threw Edward under Gan Ning's command.
No matter how powerful Gan Ning is, he is just a figure in the Three Kingdoms period. In a large-scale warship command battle, it is definitely not as good as the first-class military players on the Beacon Fire Continent. This is not a gap in ability, but a gap in tactics and ideas.
As a result, when Edward came to the Beichen Naval Division, he was completely dumbfounded!
