In January of the third year of the last days, the battle for the unification of the land east of the river officially began.

The forces led by Chu Ge and Chu Ci were defeated in the early days of the war. Chu Ge's eighteen large and small cities, a total of three cities were quickly swept away, and there was almost no place to parry. The seemingly well-defended city was like papier-mâché under the new siege guns and catapults of the Jiang forces. The big city that I thought would be able to hold on for months was destroyed in just a few days.

In the white-knuckle battle after the city was broken, Jiang Zhi's forces still had an absolute advantage, not that the soldiers were strong enough, but that they had an absolute advantage in numbers. However, in terms of the battle loss ratio, it is still Jiang Zhi's forces that have suffered greater losses, almost one to five. After half a month of fierce fighting, the number of casualties of Jiang Zhi's forces was about 10,000, while the number of casualties of Chu Ci was about 2,000.

However, Chu Ci's total strength was only 5,000, while Jiang Feng's total strength was about 200,000. Now, nearly half of Chu Ci's forces have been lost, and his ambitions have gradually been eroded by successive defeats.

As for Chu Ge, he had reservations from the beginning, which means that his 100,000 troops were almost not dispatched, but retreated in the main city.

On this day, Chu Ci finally let go of his face and had a big quarrel with Chu Ge.

"If you had put all your forces into it from the beginning, we wouldn't have lost so badly." Chu Ci said excitedly.

"My soldier quality, you are not unaware. Most of the 100,000 troops were new recruits who had never fought before, and those veterans were also afraid of Jiangzhi's forces. ”

"Then you can't go out without any soldiers, can you?"

"What do you call that? Didn't I send a lot of troops during the defense of the city? Didn't they help with the artillery? ”

"But as soon as the city is broken, your troops will immediately retreat, leaving only my troops to resist."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? We've given you the best equipment, and if I don't leave, I'm going to die. ”

"But let's share it a little bit."

"I want to too, but they are all flesh and blood lives, and I don't want them to be cannon fodder and die worthless."

"When you say this, are my people worthless, and they deserve to die?" Chu Ci asked rhetorically.

"I've never said that, but your average combat power is very high, and with the best armor of our forces, even if you die in battle, you can kill countless enemies. Don't you see? The corpses lying in each city are basically people from the Jiang forces. ”

Chu Ge is words are not coarse, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, Chu Ci's 5,000 people are really awesome, and after being equipped with high-level armor, Jiang Feng's troops fell into a bitter battle. If it weren't for Jiang Feng's huge advantage in the number of troops, he would really not be able to occupy the city.

However, Chu Ge lost so many cities but almost no dead soldiers, which made Chu Ci feel a little unbalanced, and even a little puzzled.

"Chu Ge, you don't want to fight against Jiang Feng from the beginning, do you?"

"To this day, I will also confess to you, if it weren't for you, I would have surrendered a long time ago."

"Didn't you say you would fight to the death?"

"That kind of bloody words, it's easy to say, but it's too difficult to do, because the strength of the two sides is too different. It can be said that I have pinned all my hopes on you, so I give you all my best weapons, the best armor. However, I didn't expect you to stop them. Now, I don't have any confidence. ”

"No, if you give up, won't my people die in vain?"

"But there's really no way, now I'm a soldier without armor, no matter how many people go to the battlefield, it's all a death."

"Is that all you have to say?"

"So what do you say?"

"There's another way?"

"What?"

"Dark."

"What did you say?" Chu Ge's eyes widened.

"The whole city is darkened, and the troops and civilians can be used to fight against them."

If you want to say that the court is against the court, Chu Ci's words do have some truth. The civilians and troops in Chu Ge's main city add up to nearly one million, if it is darkened. 100,000 ghost soldiers can be born, and at least 10,000 elite soldiers will be born. As for the 900,000 dark zombies, although most of the combat power is not high, at least it is infectious, as long as the ghost soldiers and Chu Ci's troops cooperate with each other to turn the headwind battle situation into a tailwind, the 900,000 zombie soldiers rush out again, and they can infect one by one.

Even if he couldn't defeat Jiang Feng, at least he could make Jiang Feng have some scruples, and even force him to retreat.

I heard that before Jiang Feng set out on the expedition, he originally planned to control the loss of troops at about 1%, but now his loss has reached 5%, which is far beyond his expectations. Once the situation becomes more complicated and uncontrollable, Jiang Feng is likely to withdraw his troops.

Theoretically, this is true, but Chu Ge directly shouted angrily: "You listen to me, even if the whole army surrenders, the whole people surrender, I will never use the method of blackening to destroy humanity." ”

"Then you will give up the foundation you have worked so hard to build?"

"They are indeed my inheritance, but they are also human beings, living people. As long as they surrender, at least they will survive. ”

Chu Ge and Chu Ci's discussion ended hastily without reaching a good conclusion, Chu Ci looked at Chu Ge's back as he left the office, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

In Chu Ci's heart, there are two purposes, one is to recognize his son and help his son. One is to divide the party and win a place in this troubled world.

Today, there is no progress in the recognition of each other, because the policies and ideas of the two men are always very different, and there is no common opinion at all. As for trying to divide the side in this troubled world, this kind of thinking is becoming more and more difficult. Today's troubled times are too different from the beginning of the last days. It is not a good time to enter the market now, even if he has accumulated a lot of talents in the Cross Chamber of Commerce, he still can't compete with Jiang Feng.

At the moment, there is a more conservative method, that is, to preserve strength, withdraw from Chu Ge's forces, and go to other places to seek new development, preferably remotely, avoiding Jiang Feng. However, Chu Ci was really unwilling to let more than 2,000 of his subordinates die, they were all talents who had worked hard to accumulate. If they quit like this, wouldn't they die in vain? Chu Ci's heart gradually rose up with the idea of breaking the jar and breaking it: since he has no common idea with Chu Ge, and there is no time for him to recognize each other, it is better to fight and borrow Chu Ge's millions of people to implement darkening. Even if he couldn't defeat Jiang Feng, he wouldn't make Jiang Feng feel better.

At this moment, a new battle report came from the front line, the last buffer city had fallen, and now the Chu Ge forces were left with only the last main city, which was the largest city.

Time is too fast, in just half a month, Chu Ge's forces only have one main city left.

Chu Ci secretly summoned his right-hand men, intending to start a plan to darken.

On the other side, Jiang Feng stood on the highest watchtower in Yunlan City, picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.

From this location, you can just see the main city of Chu Ge, Laizhou City. However, because of the distance, the castle looks like a toy castle.

Su Koye took the ladder to the top of the watchtower and reported to Jiang Feng: "As usual, there are no supplies in this city. ”

"It seems that all of Chu Ge's main forces and troops have stayed in the main city."

PS: Generally, there are at least one or two updates a week, and it may be the case for two months, if you have time, you will save some manuscripts, and there will be daily double updates in the third or fourth month.
