Section 5 From Chishuitan to Valen

The 30,000-strong counterinsurgency expeditionary team led by Li Ke Hongyi Qiben was completely annihilated, which was really unexpected by the command. This shows that the rebellious people are not a rabble as originally expected, but a systematically organized and terrible armed force, and it also shows that their leaders are quite talented in military affairs: they use Li Ke's arrogant psychology to set a trap, first defeat and lure the crusading army to go deeper, and then ambush the troops to encircle and annihilate them on all fronts. Such a skillful combat skill is actually from the hands of orcs who have always been considered by humans to have brute force and no brains, and people of insight can't help but think deeply: if the orcs have the same cunning wisdom as humans and their natural great strength... The future of mankind, the so-called leader of all things, will be in jeopardy.

After the defeat of the crusading army, the rebellion added fuel to the fire, and in just one month, the original village was expanded from one village to seven provinces, and as many as 500,000 people participated in the rebellion!

At this time, someone remembered the original prophecy of Inspector General Di Lin, and couldn't help but sigh with regret: "I knew ...... earlier."

At this time, Shikawa convened a second coordination meeting between the Command Office and the Public Prosecutor's Office to discuss any response to the current situation. By this time, the Commanders had understood their previous mistakes and Dillin's correctness, and were ready to listen to Dillin's scolding and sharp sneering—they had made themselves as firm as stones.

Di Lin didn't say a word, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and he was silent - making everyone in the command office feel uncomfortable.

In the end, Zichuan Shenxing couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Di Lin continuously: "Do you have any opinions on Your Excellency the Inspector General?" ”

Di Lin replied solemnly: "Hui Yu, the lower officials have no opinions, and they are willing to listen to the opinions of the commanders." This was even more painful than killing the commanders, and Luo Minghai's face turned red.

The meeting did not achieve anything, and in the end it was hastily settled.

※※※

After the meeting, Sterling approached Diling

"Big brother, I think you have something to say, don't you?"

Di Lin smiled bitterly: "It's useless to say it -- when Lei Hong first rebelled, I said that I was going to transfer the zhōngyāng army into the Far East, and no one listened to me; when the rebellion began, I said that I would quickly transfer back the troops that crusaded against Lei Hong to deal with the civil rebellion, and I could even negotiate peace with Lei Hong temporarily, but no one listened to me, but I said that the troops would be transferred from the west of the Valen fortress; the next step I guess the command office will order the Far Eastern Army to ignore the Lei Hong rebels and go all out to deal with the civil rebellion - unfortunately, they will always slow down a beat." ”

"What is your opinion, big brother?"

"My opinion can definitely scare the old guy Luo Minghai out of a cerebral hemorrhage. ”

Sterling smiled: "I don't have high blood pressure, you can tell me!"

Dilin looked at Sterling: "Well, you listen well, my opinion is:"

Di Lin said word by word:

"Ignoring the rebels and the popular rebellion, the Far Eastern Army will immediately shrink in an all-round way, withdraw all the garrisons on the border and the border garrisons against the demons to the Valen Fortress, and abandon all the Far Eastern provinces - maybe you can save something. ”

Looking at Sterling, whose face had changed drastically and was already so shocked that he couldn't speak, Dilin sighed and said, "Even you are scared like this—is it useful for me to say it?"

※※※

The reaction of the command office was exactly as Di Lin expected, and ordered the main force of the Far Eastern Army led by the deputy commanders Lin Bing and Luo Bo in Glock Province: stop the war with Lei Hong and turn around and go all out to deal with the civil rebellion!

At this time, the battle between the Far Eastern Army and the rebels was in a fierce situation, and the two sides were fighting to the point that they were inseparable, and at this time they suddenly ordered to withdraw their troops, which was equivalent to showing their ass and inviting the enemy to kick!

After receiving the order from the command office, Deputy Commander Lin Bing shouted angrily: "Luo Minghai doesn't understand military affairs! Turning around at this time is tantamount to committing suicide in the army! Old lady・#¥%#* He is ten thousand times!"

The calm Luo Bo covered her mouth with one hand and began to deploy the retreat.

But fortunately, under Luo Bo's old and calculating plan, this original flawed action in front of the enemy turned around and arranged it like a trap ambush, so that Lei Hong did not dare to pursue rashly, and after suffering small losses, the Far Eastern Army withdrew from Glock Province and began to crusade against the rebels with a main force of 300,000.

※※※

At the beginning, the crusade went smoothly, and almost every day there were achievements reported back to the command, which made Luo Minghai sigh a big sigh.

But in June 779, when the army entered Yun Province, the center of the rebellion, there was no news that 300,000 troops seemed to have disappeared from the air overnight......

Only Inspector General Di Lin said to himself indifferently: "Lei Hong is not stupid yet." ”

※※※

It was not until the 5th of July that the movement of the main forces of the Far Eastern Army was rediscovered: less than 50,000 of the 300,000 men remained, all weapons and heavy armor had been discarded, and the wolves fled back to the fortress of Valen, with the united army of the Race chasing after them like tigers and wolves, and the rebels of the fifteen divisions of Rejon.

It was only then that people understood what had happened: the traitor Rayhong contacted the Alien Coalition and offered to help them cut off the Far Eastern Army's rear routes, food and grass, which was a good thing from the Coalition's point of view. They hit it off and immediately signed the "Minsk Alliance Agreement" in Minsk, the capital of Minsk Province, which would be infamous for 10,000 years, and discussed that after the rule of the Zichuan family was overthrown, the Far East east east of the Valen fortress would be under the control of various ethnic groups, and the Jinghua part of the original family west of the Valen fortress would be under the control of Lei Hong.

Later generations often wonder that Lei Hong, who was once the deputy leader of the family, was arrogant enough to believe that with the support of a few orcs and snakes, he could completely destroy the Zichuan family - he should know how powerful the family really is. However, some people believe that Lei Hong never dreamed of overthrowing the family's two-hundred-year rule on the continent at that time, and his only purpose was to save his life, and the only condition he put forward was to make the agreement between the two sides look fair, so that the other party would not doubt his sincerity - how could any human be to help us for no reason?

The fact is that Lei Hong did fulfill his agreed duties well for the sake of his life: sending troops to cut off the rear routes of the Far Eastern Army, cut off food and grass, and cut off communication routes - this is the reason why the Far Eastern Army disappeared out of thin air.

When the main force of the Far Eastern Army finally caught the main force of the Racial Coalition Army, which had been floating all the time, at Chishui Beach, Luo Bo and Lin Bing were finally relieved and ordered to start a regular battle.

Although the soldiers were hungry and exhausted, they still rejuvenated their lives and vitality when they remembered that they could withdraw their troops after this battle, and fought quite bravely - for a period of time, the Far Eastern Army occupied the advantage and initiative on the battlefield, and those orcs, dragons, demons, and snakes were crushed by the surging charge of the ironclad cavalry army, and the wolves were scattered in all directions - everyone thought that victory was already within reach!

It wasn't until the westward setting of the rì head that the reflection of sabers and spears appeared on the horizon, roaring like thunder - the same ironclad cavalry, but the face was different - Lei Hong's rebels came!

The exhausted Zichuan clan army was unable to resist the onslaught of this new force.

The rebels, who had already been dispersed, regrouped and slaughtered - they dispersed and gathered as quickly as they could.

Luo Bo personally killed a dozen fleeing soldiers with a knife, and Lin Bing rushed to the front to encourage the soldiers to continue the battle - but the defeat was already done, and nothing helped......

In the Battle of Chishuitan, the Far Eastern Army lost 235,000 troops, three red-clothed banners, twenty-three banners, and seventy-six deputy banners were killed, and the commander of the whole army, Deputy Commander Luo Bo, was seriously wounded - since the establishment of the Far Eastern Army, even against the demon army of Jīng Rui, there has never been such a great defeat......

※※※

The rebellion snowballed and eventually swept through twenty-one of the twenty-three provinces of the Far East!

More than a million rebels have launched one onslaught after another on the fortress of Valen! The urgent distress document flew back to the headquarters like snowflakes, and the tone became more and more severe each time.

"The rebels are attacking Valen, and the forces are huge!"

"Asking for reinforcements, our army is difficult to support. ”

"There is a shortage of medicinal materials, and the wounded soldiers cannot be treated!"

"Bows and arrows and rolling stones have run out, we are fighting off the rebels by spitting today, and we will vomit blood tomorrow!"

"Today, the gendarmes guarding the staff have been transferred!"

"The cadet class of the Far Eastern Military Academy has also been sent - we are fighting on the Boy Scouts. ”

Chief of Staff Luo covered, and Deputy Commander Lin charged. ”

Finally, there is a blood letter jointly signed by Lin Bing and Luo Bo:

"If reinforcements don't arrive within a week, they can help us collect the bodies when the time comes.

Luo Bo, Lin Bing"

※※※

The fortress of Valen is the strongest barrier between the Far East and Dìdū, and if Valen is lost, millions of rebels will surging into the heart of the elite inhabited by unsuspecting humans - a situation that the family absolutely allows to happen!

On July 30, 779, the command office ordered, led by Stirling, to immediately lead the 150,000 zhōngyāng army, which had just been reorganized, to reinforce the fortress of Valen first, and the Black Flag Army led by Fang Jin followed. (Because the Black Flag Army is relatively far away.) )

In addition, the family also ordered a state of emergency in the first degree, and all reserve officers were immediately returned to active duty.
