On the day when Wang Ping led the army to annihilate the navy of Lanna Country by the Beichen National Naval Division, he once again entered the Zhenguo Cangcheng City.

The matter started yesterday morning, after discovering that the fifty Lanna ** team in Zhenguo Cangcheng was assembled outside Dongcheng City yesterday morning, Wang Ping personally inspected the army of Lanna Country. It can't be said to be too elite, but it is definitely not comparable to the garbage troops that were conquered by the Beichen Kingdom before. The weapons and armor of the Lanna ** team are very good, after all, they only have two million army. The navy does not need to be equipped with ironclad at all, so the army is almost entirely an elite unit equipped with ironclad.

More than 500,000 people lined up neatly outside the eastern city into a huge formation. Wang Ping watched from a distance, and did not hear anything that the king of Lanna said. However, in about an hour or so, the more than 500,000 Lanna ** team set off again. Hundreds of thousands of horses marched towards the north, as if they were going to find trouble in Donglin County.

After the army of Lanna Kingdom went north, Wang Ping did not let the army move, but quietly waited for the news of the scouts in Zhenguo Cangcheng. The news did not disappoint Wang Ping, and the king of Lanna took most of the troops in the city with him. At present, there are only about 30,000 or 20,000 people defending in the entire town of Guocang City, which is not very strong. Wang Ping quickly integrated all the news, and finally made a plan to take Zhenguo Cangcheng tonight.

During the day, you can't move. He only has 100,000 horses, and there are still 30,000 or 20,000 people in Zhenguo Cangcheng, so it is better for him to attack one side. However, that would give the enemy forces in the city a chance to report back on the army that had just left. But at night it's different, although the difficulty of the siege will increase a lot. But it was impossible for the main army of Lanna, which had been marching for almost a day, to rush back quickly. Therefore, the siege at night is already the best time for the Beichen army.

At the same time, Wang Ping also sent the news to Lin Hu, who was behind him, that the 500,000 troops of Lanna Kingdom were heading north. I believe that with the 300,000 elite army under the command of Lin Hu, even if it can't defeat the 500,000 horses of Lanna Country, it should be no problem to block it.

What is the purpose of Edward's main force of 500,000 troops in Beishan, of course, not to attack Donglin County of Beichen Kingdom. The best opportunity to raid Donglin City, the capital of Beichen Kingdom, has been wasted by himself, and now when he goes north at this time, it is completely the rhythm of death. You must know that near the capital of Lanna Country, there are now more than a million troops gathered, and that is not something that can be done by 500,000 people by yourself. The purpose of going north was to plunder, and the place of looting was not Donglin County, but Annan County, which had been occupied by himself.

Zhenguocang City is located in the southwest of Annan County, and he has already packed up everything that can be snatched in Zhenguocang. Just wait for the army to go north, loot the few occupied cities in the north, and then loot it eastward until it reaches the seashore and pass the navy, and then pull the army back to the country. In this way, this war can be regarded as a profit, but Edward could not have imagined that his two million navy would be reduced to nothingness in the early morning of the next day.

That night, Wang Ping led an army of 100,000 to launch an attack on the defenders of more than 20,000 people in Zhenguocang.

The difficulty of the siege was very difficult, and the enemy was beaten back after three consecutive attacks. Although there are not many troops in the city, they can't bear the tall city walls. This made the 100,000 horses led by Wang Ping very annoyed, and they knew that they would not build this wall so high before. Until the fourth siege of the city, the city suddenly became chaotic, and the Beichen army took advantage of the situation to enter and recapture Zhenguo Cangcheng in one fell swoop.

Now, after a night's rest, Wang Ping stood on the city wall, looking at the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield outside. Standing next to him was Luo Zhi, the commander of the City Slaughtering Division, Luo Zhi was dressed in shabby armor and had some gauze wrapped around his body. In the battle last night, Luo Zhiyi was accidentally hit by a stray arrow, and after being wounded, he was besieged by more than a dozen enemies, so he was slightly injured.

That's right, the ability to recapture Zhenguo Cangcheng was completely the 20,000 remnants of the city slaughtering division led by Luo Zhi. Wang Ping's three sieges before, although Luo Zhi had doubts in his heart, but the enemy's defense in the city was not low, and there were many patrols. This made Luo Zhi not dare to come out until after the three sieges, the enemy army in the city was short of troops, and all the patrols were transferred to the city wall to defend. This gave Luo Zhi a good opportunity and gave Beichen Kingdom a chance to recapture Zhenguocang.

Luo Zhi is not a person who doesn't know anything, on the contrary, he is very smart. It's just that because of the identity of the Slaughter City Army, he is not too easy to mix in the officialdom of Beichen Kingdom. It's just that the boss of his family has now been transferred away and has become the marshal of the Linhai camp. The Slaughtering City Army, an elite unit that no one is in charge of, launched Luo Zhi, the veteran of the Slaughtering Army.

Soon after Wang Ping led the army to attack the city for the fourth time, Luo Zhi led the remaining 20,000 soldiers to kill from the underground warehouse, and then divided more than 3,000 people to occupy the east, west, and south gates respectively, and the remaining 17,000 people attacked the defenders from behind under his own personal leadership. Under such a belly and back to the enemy, the soldiers of Lanna Country could no longer bear it.

Originally, under the attack of 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Beichen Army, Alexandria had already been Alexander. It's good now, more than 20,000 Beichen troops were killed from behind. Although it is not known where these Beichen troops came from, it is clear that this is not the key issue. The key problem is that the army is under the enemy's back, and there is no way to defend Zhenguo Cangcheng. So, after the defeat, many of the Lanna soldiers either surrendered or fled in all directions. Of course, in the end, they couldn't escape, so they could only be slowly found out by the Beichen Army and then eliminated.

"General Luo, you have worked hard in this battle. If it weren't for you swearing to keep the underground warehouse, we in Beichen don't know how much we would have lost. Moreover, the Lanna ** team, which got the materials from the underground warehouse, doesn't know how much strength we have to expend to eliminate it! Wang Ping said to Luo Zhi beside him.

Luo Zhi hurriedly replied: "The handsome man has won the award, and this battle is thanks to the soldiers' lives." If it weren't for the big marshal's immediate arrival, it wouldn't take long for the Lanna ** team to find the underground warehouse. “

"Hehe, don't say anything nice. This battle is the result of the slaughter of the city army and the beheading of the soldiers of the army, and this commander will not compete with you for credit. Wang Ping naturally heard the meaning of Luo Zhi's words.

"Dashuai, the last general doesn't want much credit, I just hope that Dashuai can give more pensions to the brothers who are about to die, as well as General Xiao's family." Luo Zhi said sincerely.

After Wang Ping heard this, he was also moved. Indeed, the pensions of the soldiers who died in the war of Beichen Kingdom are too small now. The country is prosperous, but with it comes rising prices. In the past, the pension of 1,000 copper coins was still very much, which could ensure that a family of several people lived a good life for ten years. But now, 1,000 copper coins can barely make a family of four barely survive in a year.

"Well, General Luo is right. Nowadays, the pension of our army is indeed too little. After the army of Lanna Kingdom is wiped out, I will mention it to Prime Minister Xun Cheng. In this matter, Ben Shuai can only do his best. Wang Ping said regretfully.

The matter of the pension can be big or small, if the king of his own family understands the situation, it is just a matter of one sentence. However, now the king of his own country is still at war with the Cossack state in the north. All domestic affairs, large and small, are managed by Xun Yu and Jiang Wan. In this way, the front-line army is fighting, and it may not be so easy to raise the pension by itself.

You must know that the pension is not a one-time payment, in the past, Beichen Kingdom was paid on an annual basis. 1,000 copper coins, 100 copper coins will be issued every year, and they will be issued in ten years. In ten years, almost all of the martyrs' families have men who have reached adulthood and can work normally. The reason why this is done is because there are too many soldiers who have died in battle since the founding of Beichen Kingdom.

It is now the seventh year of the Beacon Fire, and the Beichen Kingdom has only been established for seven years, which means that only three years later, the pension of the fallen soldiers in the first year of the founding of the country will be completed. In this way, the matter of increasing the pension immediately became a big deal. In the past seven years, more than five million soldiers have died on the battlefield in Beichen Kingdom. This year's pension seems to be more than 700,000 taels of silver, which means that Beichen Kingdom will need more than 7 million taels of silver for the pension alone in ten years.

According to the current market prices, a pension of 1,000 is only enough for a family of four to feed a year. Then one hundred copper coins a year, at most to maintain the livelihood of a family of four for a month, this is simply too low. And if it increases, how much is it good? Thousand? Five hundred? I'm afraid it's still not enough, I guess it will be enough to increase it to at least four or five taels of silver!

According to the number of seven million fallen soldiers, the Beichen Kingdom will have to pay more than three million taels of silver in a year, which is too huge. It is estimated that even Xun Yu and they don't dare to make decisions at will!

"If the commander has this sentence, the general will be content, and I believe that the soldiers who died in battle will also understand the mind of the commander!" Luo Zhi said movingly.

"Hehe, this matter hasn't been settled yet! Alright, let's clean up the city first. Subsequently, the army went east, believing that the king of Lanna would definitely flee to the east after receiving the news of Zhenguo Cangcheng. I just don't know how the water division is doing, if we can't say that the army of Lanna Country will be blocked, then this time our Beichen Kingdom will suffer a dark loss! “

"No! In the end, I will go down and arrange it! “

Just one day north, early the next morning, Edward got a message that he was spurting blood. Damn, I just came out of Zhenguo Cangcheng on the front foot, and the 100,000 troops of the Beichen Army on the back foot recaptured the city. What's going on? Where did the 100,000 Beichen Army come from?

Edward looked at the battle report on the table in front of him, and he almost didn't catch his breath.

Edward then hurriedly led his army and began to flee to the east to the sea. 100,000 Beichen Army, this is not the main force of the Beichen Army, it is very likely to be the vanguard force. Now the vanguard troops have run behind them, and they have also cut off their own back roads. So, will the main force of the Beichen Army be far away, it is very likely that he will be able to get the news that the scouts have met the main force of the Beichen Army in the next moment.

"Report! Our scouts were ten miles to the north and found the main force of the Beichen Army. The enemy army is overwhelming, it is impossible to calculate, not to mention more than 500,000 people! “

Edward, who had just mounted his horse and was about to lead the army away, fell from his horse in surprise. Several generals in the army around him hurriedly jumped off their horses to check on their king's situation.

"Quick! Command the army, immediately to the east, then to the south, to the naval camp, we can escape! Edward lay on the ground, ignoring the general who helped him up, and said hurriedly.

"No!"

The 500,000-strong army immediately lost a large amount of baggage, and with only some dry food, they fled in a hurried southeast.
