Chapter 1238: Joining the War

Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 inforeadx;? In mid-May, the Volo War broke out, and the alliance of the western city-states led by the city-state of Solan sent a total of 200,000 troops to invade the territory of the city-state of Volo.

Among the 200,000 coalition troops, the Solan city-state sent 100,000 troops, and the other 100,000 were the soldiers and horses of the other city-states.

At the beginning of the Volo War, the allied army was smooth sailing, and the battle was victorious, from the border of the Solan city-state and the Wallo city-state, all the way to the west, and it took only a month for the army to capture Novi City.

After taking Novi City, the coalition army only took a short rest, and then continued to go north, directly attacking the capital of the Volo city-state, Volo City, as long as the Volo City can be captured, and the lords and ministers of the Volo city-state can be captured, the Volo War can basically be declared over,

When the coalition army went north, the lord of the city-state of Volo, Urengoi, led the ministers of the city-state and the remnants of the 50,000 or 60,000 Volo army, abandoned the capital and fled to the southwest.

At the end of June, the allied forces almost bloodlessly captured the city of Volo, and the battle went much smoother than expected.

Urengoi fled southwest with the remnants of the city-state of Volo, until he fled to the border of the city-state of Volo and Ninnan, and then stopped and hid in the small border city of Harya.

If Ulengoi fled into the territory of Ningnan, Assino would not chase him, but Uriengoi hid in Haria in the land of projectiles, how could Assino easily let him go,

Assino led the coalition army and attacked Haria without relenting,

Douky, Masala City,

In the Battle of Masala, the Feng Army and the Ningnan Army have been fighting for more than four months, and the battle is still in a stalemate.

On this day, Shangguan Xiu and the generals under his command looked at the information transmitted from all sides in the city lord's mansion.

Luo Ren checked the battle reports from the Volo city-state in the past few days, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, the main city of the Volo city-state has been lost, and the lord has fled to the border town of Haria, it seems that the War-Volo will end soon,"

"Oh," Shangguan Xiu replied absentmindedly and softly,

Hailey couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is my department still going to stand still now?"

"Hmm," Shangguan Xiu still looked at the information in his hand without raising his head,

Hailey was about to speak, Zhao Chen walked in briskly from outside, he ignored the bystanders present, hurriedly walked directly to Shangguan Xiu, and whispered: "Brother Xiu, the civil war in Ningnan is over,"

As soon as these words came out, like thunder in the clear sky, everyone present raised their heads one after another, Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, put down the letter in his hand, and looked at Zhao Chen,

The latter said with a solemn face: "I just got the news, the first part of the prince of Ziyuan, in the west of Tianjing, has been defeated by the first part of the prince of Hao, the army has been dispersed, and the prince has abandoned the army and fled,"

Recently, Shangguan Xiu is not focusing on the battlefield of Volo, but on the situation of the civil war in Ningnan.

You must know that the eldest grandson Boyuan has a part, but a whole army of 300,000 soldiers is in Tianjing, and even if the eldest grandson Bohao has the support of the imperial court, there are only 100,000 soldiers, and 100,000 actually defeated 300,000, which is incredible.

"How is this possible," Shangguan Xiu stood up and asked, "Eldest Sun Boyuan was really defeated by Eldest Sun Bohao,"

"Yes, Brother Xiu, it's a failure,"

"What the hell is going on,"

"It's because of Huainan, the eldest grandson of the king,"

"Eldest grandson Huainan,"

"The eldest grandson Boyuan's part, most of them are the old department of the eldest grandson Huainan, and it is precisely because of the support of the eldest grandson Huainan that the eldest grandson Boyuan can sit on an army of 300,000, but I don't know what means the eldest grandson Bohao used to successfully rebel against the eldest grandson Huainan, resulting in the defeat of the eldest grandson Boyuan and had to abandon the army and flee,"

"It turned out that the eldest grandson Huainan was on the verge of defection," Shangguan Xiu showed a look of sudden realization, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Perhaps, the object of the eldest grandson Huainan's support from the beginning was the eldest grandson Bohao, and the reason why he stood on the side of the eldest grandson Boyuan was for this day," After a pause, he took a light breath and said: "The eldest grandson Boyuan is too arrogant and too blind, supporting the eldest grandson Bohao to be the emperor is indeed more beneficial than supporting the eldest grandson Boyuan to be the emperor,"

Any choice people make, in the final analysis, is the most self-interested, think about it, the eldest grandson Huainan's defection is not too unexpected,

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Do you know where Eldest Sun Boyuan has fled now?"

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "I haven't gotten any news yet," frdo

Shangguan Xiu knocked on his forehead and said, "The end of the civil war in Ningnan is not good news for my country,"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "I believe that in a few days, the eldest grandson Bohao will be proclaimed emperor in Tianjing,"

Ningnan finally has a new emperor, and the soldiers fighting on the front line have no worries, and the next war is bound to be more difficult.

As everyone expected, only three days later, the news that the eldest grandson Bohao was proclaimed emperor in Tianjing came back,

The wind army didn't feel anything about this, but the Ningnan army on the opposite side was overjoyed, and the roar of the salute began to sound from morning to noon.

The soldiers of the Feng Army were annoyed by the sound of the salute on the opposite side, and Luo Ren ordered the whole army to bombard, and gave a big gift to the emperor of the eldest grandson Bohao.

On the Masala front, the Feng army of four corps launched an all-out artillery bombardment on the position of the Ningnan Army on the opposite side.

Soon, the position of the Ningnan army also launched an artillery counterattack, on the day when the eldest grandson Bohao was called the emperor, how lively was Ningnan in the country, I don't know, but the Masala position here is lively.

The armies of the two countries launched a large-scale artillery attack, and on this day alone, the Feng Army and the Ningnan Army fired no less than 100,000 shells.

The next day, the artillery confrontation between the two armies finally came to an end, and the officers and men of the two armies filled the craters in their respective positions and rebuilt the destroyed fortifications as if they were all right.

After another half a month, news came back from the northern front in Ningnan that Sun Boyuan, the eldest prince of the Great Prince, fled to the camp of the Wind Army with the princess Mi Xinyue, and is currently being escorted by the Wind Army to Masala City.

After reading the flying pigeon biography of the northern front, the soldiers of the Feng Army were all crying and laughing, thinking that after the defeat of the eldest grandson Boyuan, he would be incognito and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but he did not expect to run to his own side to seek refuge.

Cai Huang frowned and said, "Your Highness, Eldest Sun Boyuan seeking refuge in our country is tantamount to showing the people of Ningnan that there has long been a conspiracy between our country and Eldest Sun Boyuan, which is bound to inspire the people of Ningnan to hate the same enemy,"

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and smiled disapprerovingly: "The people of Ningnan have already reached the level of hatred for our country, and they will not change anything because of the eldest grandson Boyuan,"

Cai Huang said quietly: "A useless person, it's useless to stay," his meaning was obvious, either kill the eldest grandson Boyuan directly, or exchange him for the Ningnan people to dispose of,

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "Although he is a useless person, he is a big trouble for the eldest grandson Bohao, and he can make your enemies unhappy, no matter how you look at it, it's a good thing, it's a pity to kill him,"

Cai Huang nodded thoughtfully, leaned over and said, "It's the last general who didn't think it through,"

At the end of August, Asino led 200,000 coalition troops to Haria, thinking that the remnants of the city-state of Volo would defend the city, but unexpectedly, the lord Urengoi led more than 60,000 city-state troops out of the city to face the battle.

While laughing at Urengoi, Ulengoy did not know whether he was alive or dead, he commanded a large army and attacked the army of the city-state of Volo head-on, and just when the great battle between the two armies was about to break out, an army of 100,000 people appeared in the east and west of the coalition army, the Ningnan army,

These two corps of the Ningnan Army, one was commanded by Zhou Chaoxian, the Wei general of Ningnan, and the other was commanded by Ye Nantian, the left general of Ningnan.

Ye Nantian and Zhou Chaoxian, both of whom are veterans of Ningnan who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have experienced a hundred battles, but they are both not very old, both are in their early forties, and they are both young and famous, and their martial arts are world-famous.

The sudden appearance of the Ningnan army on the battlefield caught the coalition army off guard, Ye Nantian, Zhou Chaoxian, and Uliangoyi, the three-way army, launched a siege on the coalition army.

In this battle, the coalition forces were defeated,

This battle was a defeat encountered by the coalition army since it entered the city-state of Volo, or the worst defeat, 200,000 troops, only more than 60,000 people escaped in the end, and the other 130,000 people were not all killed, but scattered.

In the end, the remaining 60,000 or so people were all soldiers of the First Legion under Asino, and as for the soldiers of the other city-states, they were scared away by this battle, and they fled back to their respective city-states, not daring to fight again.

After the Battle of Haria, the Wei general Zhou Chaoxian withdrew to Tianjing, the capital of Ningnan, alone, and the left general Ye Nantian stayed in the city-state of Volo, led the 200,000 Ningnan army, and continued to pursue and kill the remnants of Assino.

The remnants of Assino retreated again and again, from the southwest of the city-state of Volo, to the southeast, and finally to the city of Novi.

The coalition forces have lost most of the gains in the city-state of Volo in the early stage, and it seems that the remaining half will not be able to be saved.

The city-state armies of other city-states can no longer be counted on, and the only one that can compete with the Ningnan army is the wind army, and Asino has no choice but to ask the wind army for help, ask Shangguanxiu, and immediately send reinforcements to help the battlefield of Volo.

At present, the legions of the Wind Country in Duki include the ninth, tenth, and twelfth legions, as well as the first, third, fourth, and fifth legions of the Zhenjun Army, as well as the Jinsk City-State Army, a total of eight legions.

The strength of the eight legions is not small, but one turnip and one pit, and each legion has its own post,

The Ninth Army is guarding the front north of Massala, the Twelfth Army is guarding the front south of Massala, the Tenth Army and the First, Fourth, and Fifth Army Corps of the Zhenjun Army are guarding the main battlefield of Massala City, and the Third Army of the Zhenjun Army is fighting behind enemy lines.

After thinking about it, Shangguan Xiu finally decided to send the Fifth Army led by Cai Huang, the Third Army Corps could not be used, Hu Chong's containment behind enemy lines reduced a lot of pressure on his own frontal battlefield, and the First Army Corps could not be used, Luo Ren is now the commander of the army, and the First Army must follow him, stay on the main battlefield in Massala, and leave Shangguan Xiu's choice only the Fourth and Fifth Legions, relatively speaking, Shangguan Xiu is more at ease with Cai Huang,

Before the Fifth Army set out, Shangguan Xiu specially found Cai Huang and talked with him at night.

Looking at Cai Huang, who had short hair and was dressed in a straight military uniform, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Cai Huang, sit down,"

"Your Highness Xie,"

"In private, you don't have to be so polite,"

Cai Huang owes himself and responds: "Yes, Your Highness,"

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Cai Huang, I sent your troops to the battlefield of Volo, do you have any concerns?"

Cai Huang Zhengse said: "The last general will fight for the country, and he has no worries,"

"Aren't you afraid at all?"

Cai Huang glanced at Shangguan Xiu, and under his bright gaze, he said truthfully: "The heart of the last general...... It's a little bottomless,"

This time he entered the city-state of Volo to fight, he had no superiors, on the contrary, he was the superior of the Wind Army, the Jinsk City-State Army, and the Solan City-State Army, in other words, he was the commander-in-chief of the three legions,

Every order he gave directly decided the life and death of the three legions, such a heavy responsibility was pressed on his body, it was impossible to say that Cai Huang was not worried at all, this time, he was really the commander of the whole army, fighting alone,

Shangguan Xiu looked at Cai Huang meaningfully and said, "Once you are defeated in the city-state of Volo, what should you do?"

Cai Huangteng stood up suddenly, and said with a firm gaze: "The last general swears to fight the enemy to the death and never retreat a step,"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and said softly: "The mere city-state of Volo is not enough to sacrifice a legion of our country, an excellent legion commander, once defeated, your troops can immediately return to Duki and regroup, understand?"
