Although Guangyuan Kingdom and Black Iron City are allies now, but this ally is only superficial brothers, they are united in order to annex the Holy Alliance, there is not much unity inside, and now they can be united, all by common goals, and because of this, Guangyuan Kingdom is naturally afraid when he sees the rapid progress of Black Iron City now, after all, Guangyuan Kingdom and Black Iron City are not such allies, after the Holy Alliance is eliminated, there will inevitably be a big war between Black Iron City and Guangyuan Kingdom, If in this war, Black Iron City annexes more Holy Alliance lands, then the situation of Guangyuan Kingdom will be very difficult in the future, which is exactly what Guangyuan Kingdom is afraid of now, so they will inevitably open the way for Qiao Xuan, let them return to China as soon as possible to resist the invasion of Black Iron City, but although they know that the result is so, Shu Han also has to write a letter, which will give him a certain moral advantage, and secondly, to look at the current internal trends of Guangyuan Kingdom to determine the next decision.

Just like Guangyuan Kingdom does not believe in Black Iron City, Black Iron City also does not believe in Guangyuan Kingdom, the alliance between the two sides is completely based on interests, and there are not many stories and connections in itself, and such an alliance, as long as the interests cannot be aligned, then tearing it up is a matter of an instant.

It is precisely because of this that Shu Han must test the attitude of Guangyuan Kingdom, and in the face of today's problems, Shu Han's method is very simple, that is, to fight steadily, at this time the rear has occupied a large area of the city, and Lanjia City is obviously not as easy as he imagined, Shu Han's method is to give the city a decisive blow, if it succeeds, then occupy Lanjia City, and then control Bishan City, so as to establish a defensive zone, so that the 500,000 people will become their own bag, if not, Then Shu Han would immediately abandon the attack on Lanjiacheng, and then turn his head to join Zhang Ruoming's army and quickly evacuate the present-day Yangtze River region.

After losing Bishan City as a line of defense, under a plain, it is difficult for Black Iron City to resist the attack of the Lord Holy Alliance, after all, the army in his hands is limited, and if he wants to control the city, his army will be scattered, but at this time, Qiao Xuan's troops are united, and they do not have many troops themselves, and they have to divide their troops to garrison, this is undoubtedly the way to die, Shu Han naturally will not do it, so he will choose to retreat immediately.

Of course, in this process, Shu Han will try his best to take away the local residents and wealth, in order to strengthen the strength of the Black Iron City, as for the city, leave it to the Holy Alliance, let them worry about their own brains, and the premise of all this is to be fast, so Shu Han after a night's rest, immediately launched an attack on Lanjia City, and there was a riot in the city, Shu Han's troops once climbed the city wall and launched a fierce charge with the enemy, but in the end the charge failed, The defense of Lanjiacheng was much stronger than Shu Han wanted, and after Shu Han launched three attacks in a row, he still did not succeed, and at this time, even if Shu Han was unwilling in his heart, he could only give up, and immediately led the army to the rear, after joining Zhang Ruoming.

quickly took away all the more than 100,000 urban population, and at the same time, using the phone, let Yang Yi and Lin Bida quickly lead the army and leave with the people who were willing to follow, as for those who were unwilling to go, let them stay where they were, and at the same time those Skywalker families must be taken away as a threat in the future.

Shu Han's order has undoubtedly caused quite a lot of tragedy, although he has already said in the letter that those who are unwilling to leave can not leave, but most of the people in these cities are undoubtedly unwilling to go, which is not tolerated by Black Iron City, after all, they came this time to reap benefits and weaken the Holy Alliance, how could they really let them stay where they were, so although Shu Han's order was so, the implementation of the people below was naturally not so.

In the two cities he occupies, Limpida directly requires all the urban population that has graduated from college to follow him, and at the same time, workers, technicians and other people with professional skills must also go, including their families, and there are more than 150,000 people in the two cities, and in the process, there will naturally be many contradictions, among which of course there will be bloody conflicts.

Lin Bida and Yang Yi are not murderous people, but at this time, they can only teach them to be people with the guns in their hands, after all, Shu Han's order is very urgent, Qiao Xuan's troops don't know when, they will return to the rear from the front line to support, their time is calculated by hours, naturally it is impossible to have too much communication with the population of these cities, the order to retreat is very tough, and naturally some of them are unwilling to leave, and there will inevitably be physical conflicts, And the army of Lin Bida and others is only 10,000 people, surrounded by so many foreigners, under the fear, there will inevitably be bloodshed, and in the process of migration, in order to pursue speed, there is naturally a lot of bloody violence, which is not enough to say.

The nature of war is undoubtedly cruel, especially when it comes to civilians, no matter how much attention is paid to, their casualties will be very huge, and on the other hand, Shu Han used the captured Holy Alliance ships directly as ships to transport people, and fortunately, many cities here are directly close to the big river, and now the entire lower half of the Yangtze River has been controlled by Shu Han, and it is not difficult to take these people.

And Qiao Xuan's counterattack will naturally not be so fast, even if he wants to withdraw, Guangyuan Kingdom still has to stop it, after all, Black Iron City has sent envoys in their army, how can they do nothing, just let them go, if this is the case, then the alliance will naturally break, and now, it is obviously not yet the time for the alliance to break, so Guangyuan Kingdom will do something, and at the same time, Qiao Xuan's current army has already penetrated into the hinterland of Guangyuan Kingdom, and it is naturally not easy for them to leave at this time, At the same time, Qiao Xuan is not stupid, after occupying these lands, if he directly leads the army to support the rear, then do you want these cities?

Now that the Holy Alliance has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Guangyuan Kingdom, it has occupied more than eight cities, with a total population of more than one million, these cities are always to be defended, or just like the Black Iron City, move the elites out of it, it will take time and troops, Qiao Xuan simply does not have so many troops to deal with the two hands, so he needs time to prepare.

coincides with Shu Han's thoughts, obviously he doesn't want to defend these cities, which is too dangerous for Qiao Xuan, with such a large population, the hatred for the Holy Alliance is very deep, in this case, if his main force is withdrawn, then the remaining troops will not only have to face the attack of Guangyuan Kingdom, but also face the chaos brought about by their own cities, which can be said to be very dangerous, so Qiao Xuan, like Shu Han, took the initiative to move the elite away, only guarding the mountain and forest checkpoints. In order to ensure that the level leading to the interior of Guangyuan Kingdom is in your own hands.

However, compared to Shu Han's side, the Holy Alliance is obviously not so polite to those who are unwilling to move away, for those who want to move away, Qiao Xuan will naturally not be polite, if he is not willing to go, he will shoot them directly on the spot, and for those who do not need them, he will simply burn these cities to the ground with a single fire, and more than 200,000 people will die in this fire, and by the time Guangyuan Kingdom reoccupies these cities, it has become a ruin.

How many of these families have been separated, how many parents have lost their children, these are naturally different, when Shu Han received the news, he was no longer interested in these news, in the report of Guangyuan Kingdom, most of the army of the Holy Alliance slowly left Guangyuan Country with hundreds of thousands of urban elites, preparing to move them to the territory of the Holy Alliance, and Qiao Xuan began to quickly rush to the south with five thousand cavalry and four thousand motorized infantry after properly solving the problem of Guangyuan Kingdom's pursuit, and at this time, It was already the third day that Shu Han led the troops into the north, and I have to say that Qiao Xuan's speed was really fast.

In the face of this army in Qiao Xuan's hands, Shu Han is very jealous, the so-called motorized troops, is directly from those electric vehicles modified to create troops, in the current Holy Alliance highway everywhere, these cars can arrive at the rear very quickly, about a day and a half is enough, the same is true for cavalry, and now Shu Han has no cavalry in his hands at all, as for the car, because there is no bridge, it can't be transported at all, and can only rely on two legs, so Shu Han made a quick decision, Immediately abandon the plan for the transfer of troops and population, and quickly withdraw to the north bank of the Yangtze River with the remaining manpower, and defend with the danger on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

With Qiao Xuan's troops, fighting on the plains, Shu Han's troops are not opponents at all, his cavalry has already been exhausted in the previous battle, if you want to gather another cavalry unit, it will take at least four or five years to cultivate, on the plains, Qiao Xuan is undoubtedly no opponent now.

At this time, Shu Han decisively adopted the strategy of abandonment, relying on the trenches built by the Holy Alliance on the north bank of the Yangtze River to defend, this is undoubtedly the correct strategy, these trenches are undoubtedly impossible for cars with very high road requirements, and the role of cavalry in front of these trenches, will also lose their mobility, when the war horses lose their mobility, then their combat ability will be very limited.

And Shu Han's army at this time is not a lot, there are more than 40,000 or so troops, of which 10,000 are responsible for transporting materials and personnel, and the remaining 30,000 people are more than enough to defend Qiao Xuan's army of 10,000, and Qiao Xuan has no way to do it, although he is very angry in his heart, more than 200,000 people have been taken away, and these people are all elites in the city, and their departure will make the Holy Alliance lose a large number of technicians, which is naturally unbearable for Qiao Xuan.

What's more, this action of Black Iron City is undoubtedly slapping Qiao Xuan in the face, but Qiao Xuan is a ruler after all, his blood is cold, after a short period of anger, he did not recklessly directly use his cavalry and mobile army to directly collide with the defense network of Black Iron City, but chose to choose a nearby city to station, and then let the surrounding troops gather around and start to build a new defense network.

Now the number of troops of the Holy Alliance is not too much, and they all need to be stationed in various cities, and the number of troops temporarily mobilized is obviously not enough, so at this time, it is impossible for Qiao Xuan to launch a counterattack, after all, it is impossible to launch an attack in trench warfare, unless your strength is three or even more than four times that of the defenders, this is still under the premise of no machine guns, and now the elite troops in Qiao Xuan's hands are really limited, and he does not dare to make such a charge, so he intends to admit the fact that the north bank of the Yangtze River is lost, Then a new defensive network was built along the city circle, and as for the builders, of course, the peasants and peasant women who remained were organized, and began to dig tunnels, and at the same time defend the tributaries of the Yangtze River on the north bank, pull up iron cables, and build a large number of pillboxes and batteries on both sides of the river, so as to prevent the fleet of Black Iron City from entering their city through the water network, which would make them very uncomfortable.

On the other side, after seeing the Holy Alliance retreating, the Guangyuan Kingdom immediately began to counterattack, but at this time, the Holy Alliance held all the checkpoints leading to the Holy Alliance, these checkpoints were very dangerous places, and if Guangyuan Kingdom wanted to occupy them, it would undoubtedly take a certain amount of time, just like Qiao Xuan wanted to occupy these places at the beginning, he relied on hot air balloons to do it, and at this time, Guangyuan Kingdom did not have such weapons and equipment.

And even if there is, the Holy Alliance is also ready, these weapons, only when they are taken out for the first time, they will have a great effect, and they are just unexpected, but they have been used more times, and each country is not a princely state without any scientific and technological content, so it can naturally be cracked, just like at this time, the Holy Alliance is also already researching ironclad ships, preparing to regain control of the Yangtze River.

But this is obviously not the time, the war is going on at this time, it is time to enter the tug-of-war, no one can help anyone, but in general, the Black Iron City has undoubtedly received great benefits, first of all, it has brought back more than 250,000 people from the Holy Alliance, among these populations, workers and engineers will be left in the bazaar near the south bank of the Yangtze River, and a city will be established here directly, Shu Han named it Dingbei City, the meaning is obvious, it is hoped that this city will be used as a bridgehead, With a counter-attack, more than 50,000 peasants were relocated from Asakusa Castle in the rear to cultivate this land, so that the people of this land would exceed 200,000, and it would be a large city in the Black Iron City.

And the rest of the people will be brought back to Black Iron City and Joaquin City, where these technologists will research new technologies for Black Iron City, a total of about 80,000 people, these people are undoubtedly the elite of each city, Shu Han will never allow them to be retaken by the Holy Alliance, so he will send them back immediately.

At the same time, Shu Han also ordered the rear to launch a new conscription order, and then recruit 50,000 soldiers from various places to ensure that the defense line of the Black Iron City has enough troops to use, at this time, the role of chemical fertilizer is shown, relying on the power of chemical fertilizer, the agricultural output value of the Black Iron City has been rising in the past two years, making the granaries of the Black Iron City almost full, at this time, you can recruit a large number of farmers into the army, and it will not lead to the reduction of farmers and thus cause a decrease in food production, 50,000 people for today's Black Iron City, Although it is not particularly simple, it is not particularly difficult, and with the population migrated from the Holy Alliance, the current Black Iron City is also about to break through the two million mark, and such a population, in a state of war, will not have a particularly big problem supporting an army of more than 120,000.
