Chapter 430: Fiasco
The news of the fiasco of the Haiyun Bang Western Route Army has not yet spread, and the news of the defeat of Tunyun Bang crossing the canyon to attack Jinlong State has spread all over Haiyun State, Tunyun State and Xishan State.
Immediately afterwards, the news that the southern expedition of Jinshan State and the western expedition of Jinshan State broke through the northern border of Tunyun State and Xishan State respectively, and entered the territory of Tunyun State and Xishan State for hundreds of miles, and advanced the southern border of Jinshan State to the south to level with the border of Jinlong State.
Hearing these two news, the lord of Haiyun State immediately ordered the Eastern Route Army to suspend its advance and not to enter the territory of Jinlong State.
He analyzed: "Now, Jinlongbang and Jinshanbang are fighting together, Tunyunbang Canyon was defeated and lost 100,000 soldiers, Xishan Bang has lost 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, and our Haiyunbang has also lost nearly 50,000 soldiers, and these losses have been very large. It seems that the joint Northern Expedition of the three states has failed, and our team cannot attack anymore, otherwise it is likely that there will be no return. ”
Thinking of this, he agreed to spread the news of the defeat of the Haiyun Bang Western Route Army.
When the news of the defeat of the Haiyun Bang Western Route Army reached Tunyun State and Xishan State, Tunyun State immediately sent an envoy to the canyon to sue for peace with the Jinlong Bang South Expedition Team, hoping that the Jinlong Bang South Expedition Team would retreat and maintain the original boundary between Tunyun State and Jinlong State.
The crocodile who received the envoy of Tunyun State said: "According to the instructions of our Golden Dragon State Lord, since our army has completely occupied the canyon and attacked here, then take the south entrance of the canyon as the boundary and must not retreat. So, please forgive me for not being able to do anything! ”
The envoy of Haiyunbang repeatedly argued and negotiated, and when he saw that the crocodile was unwilling to change, he had to resign and leave.
Jin Tu said: "Tunyun Bang and our Jinlong State are bounded by the center of the canyon, and they are both relieved of each other. Since they are greedy, they should be punished. Hmph, this time to collect your 100,000 troops, and then deprive you of the right to occupy the canyon is a lesson for you! ”
"Chief, since our army has completely occupied the canyon, why don't we take the opportunity to advance southward and advance to the great river to the south in one go, and be on par with the state lords?" Crocodile said.
"There are three reasons, one is that we still want to use the peace treaty between us and Haiyun Bang, although Haiyun Bang has also joined the attack on us this time, we don't want to destroy this peace treaty for the time being; Second, although the big river in the south is wide, it can be defended without danger, and it is too difficult to guard, and it is not suitable as a border now; Third, the canyon here and the terrain south of Nanding City are suitable for our defense, and the current boundary also meets our needs. Jin Tu said.
"So, the lord of the state, they still have to withdraw?" Crocodile said.
"Yes, preparations are being made for withdrawal. However, Kameishi Shoufu said that he would collect some interest and then withdraw, and he might have to ask Hai Yunbang to promise something. Jin Tu said.
"This time, Nanding City fought better than us, Ning defeated more than 70,000 soldiers with 50,000 soldiers, and also killed almost 50,000 soldiers, what a big victory!" Crocodile said with a sigh.
"They occupied a favorable position and used the ambush warfare well to achieve this victory." Jin Tu also said with a smile.
"This time, we mainly played a big role in the Right Rat Army, otherwise our losses would have been great." Crocodile said.
"You just know this, don't tell it to the outside. This is the wonder soldier of our Golden Dragon Bang, it's a secret! Jin Tu said.
Crocodile nodded, but his mind still recalled the process and scene of the canyon counteroffensive from time to time.
That night, after an hour of preparation, the crocodile transferred all the reserve soldiers outside the canyon into the canyon, and transported all the wounded and soldiers with reduced combat effectiveness in the canyon to the outside of the canyon.
Then the soldiers with the strongest combat effectiveness were placed in front and organized into ten assault brigades.
When everything was ready, the time entered the middle of the night.
At this time, the 20,000 soldiers with the strongest combat effectiveness immediately launched a charge under an order.
Since it was night, the soldiers of Tunyunbang had just rested after two days and one night of continuous attack, and they did not expect that the soldiers of Jinlongbang would suddenly launch a counterattack at this time, so they were not prepared to resist at all.
This made Haiyunbang's team panic and confusion as soon as the battle began, and they were quickly defeated.
When the Tunyunbang team in the canyon retreated to the outside of the canyon, the Tunyunbang team outside the canyon was also chaotic.
It turned out that the Right Rat Army attacked the Tunyunbang team from the back of the Tunyunbang team in three ways: southeast, south, and west.
Their way of attacking was to eat the Tunyun Bang soldiers one by one from behind and collect their Neidan.
Because it was night, I couldn't see the situation clearly, and I could only hear the sound of clicking around me, coming quickly from far and near.
If you can see it, it's like a flood water rushing into a cornfield and then there's nothing left.
The 100,000 soldiers of the Right Rat Army ate from the back to the front in this way, and when they ate it, the 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers of Tunyunbang did not even have a single one, not even a bone, and only a little blood was left on the ground.
At that time, the soldiers of the Golden Dragon State charged from the north to the south of the canyon, and they could be said to be invincible along the way, so that the soldiers of Tunyunbang had to flee to the south of the canyon like a tide.
These Tunyun Bang soldiers who fled to the south originally thought that they could get the help of the outside team by escaping from the canyon and could block the charge of the Jinlong Bang soldiers.
But when they fled to the outside of the canyon, they found that the outside of the canyon was even more chaotic, and the soldiers of Tunyunbang were running around, hiding everywhere, and the screams of one by one rose one after another, which was very miserable.
They knew that in the meadow, lions, foxes, and honey badgers were at the top of the food chain, but who would have thought that this huge number of rats would become kings.
The swarming rats soon surrounded the Tunyun Bang soldiers who had escaped from the canyon, one, two, three, four, and in a moment, the tired, sleepy and tired Tunyun Bang soldiers who had just retreated from the canyon were eaten by the rats, and the speed was as fast as the wind and clouds.
When the soldiers of the Golden Dragon State who rushed out later saw this scene, they immediately retreated backwards, not daring to charge forward again.
Seeing this situation, Jin Tu, who rushed out with the soldiers of the Golden Dragon Bond, said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, just retreat a little back and hold the valley mouth." From today onwards, the border of our Jinlong State will be bounded by the southern exit of this canyon to prevent Tunyun State from attacking us again. ”
After a while, Jin Tu said to the soldiers of the Golden Dragon Nation: "The soldiers of the Tunyun Nation who came here to fight us have been completely wiped out, don't worry about it anymore." Now, we are building a tall and sturdy gate here as a frontline pass for our Jinlong State to defend against Tunyun State. Marshal Crocodile is asked to make specific arrangements. ”
The crocodile commanded the various legions to start construction according to the determined plan, casting the first Xiongguan of the Golden Dragon State to defend the Tunyun State.
It was precisely because the soldiers of Jinlongbang built Xiongguan at the south entrance of the canyon that Tunyunbang immediately sent envoys to sue for peace after receiving the news of the defeat of the Haiyunbang West Route Army, asking the Jinlongbang team to retreat.
In fact, the lord of the Tunyun State only knows that the Jinlongbang team rushed to the south entrance of the canyon, and his own team was defeated and fled, but he didn't know that the 100,000-strong Tunyun Bang team no longer existed.
Although they searched and contacted again and again but did not find the Tunyun Bang team, they only estimated that the Tunyun Bang team suffered heavy losses and was completely dispersed and left, but they did not expect that the 100,000 soldiers of Tunyun State had become food for the rat swarm and had been eaten all!
Under the bombardment of the news of the defeat of the East Route Army of Xishan State, the defeat of the Tunyunbang Gorge, and the defeat of the West Route Army of Haiyun State, the lord of Haiyun State immediately stopped the advance of the East Route Army and did not dare to go north to reach the territory of Jinlong State.
However, the state lord of Xishan State still had illusions and did not withdraw the Xishan State Western Route Army from the western part of Jinshan State in time.
This has created a special phenomenon that the western army of Jinshan State has already set up a position on the border between Jinshan State and Xishan State, and the Western Route Army of Xishan State continues to advance northward in the western part of Jinshan State.
"Hahaha, we are worried that they will retreat in advance, it turns out that not only did they not retreat, but they continued to advance. What a guts! Huang Long said.
"Maybe Xishan State doesn't know that there is a team like us, and is still fantasizing about monopolizing the western part of Jinshan State." Kameyama said.
"With so many teams failing, will their Western Route Army be able to succeed? I really don't know what to think! Jin Shan said disdainfully.
"This Xishan Bang Lord may have some special ideas, we might as well analyze them!" Huang Long said.
"It's about thinking about it. Xishan State, Tunyun State, and Haiyun State agreed to send 100,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, but the number of troops sent by Xishan State was only 50,000 at the beginning, and later increased by 20,000. So far, we only know more than 70,000 soldiers, in addition to the 50,000 soldiers we eliminated and the 20,000 soldiers of the Western Route Army, where are the 30,000 soldiers? Huang Ling said.
"I'm also thinking about it, these 30,000 soldiers in Xishan State have not appeared, are they also hiding like us?" Kameyama said.
"Now there are three questions, one is whether these 30,000 soldiers are there, and whether they exist? Second, where are these 30,000 soldiers? Third, does the Western Route Army in Xishan State only have 20,000 soldiers? Let's think about it together. Huang Long said.
"There must be these 30,000 soldiers, if not, Xishan State will not agree with Tunyun State and Haiyun State to send 100,000 troops." Jin Shan said.
"I think there should be, and the 30,000 soldiers of Xishan State must exist." Kameyama said.
"These three problems are actually still one problem, and we may not be able to solve them just by thinking about them here. Kameyama, you send a message to Jinmu and tell them to move westward with the Western Expeditionary Army, and prepare to rendezvous with the Western Army in the western part of Xishan State. Jinshan, let's go to the north and observe the Xishan Bangxi Route Army to see their true situation. Huang Ling said.
Kameyama sent a message to Kaneki, asking him to lead the Western Expeditionary Army to move westward and prepare to join the Western Army in the western part of Xishan State.
Jinshan spread its wings and flew quickly towards the western part of Jinshan State to the north.
Huang Ling was thinking in his heart that if he didn't find out the true situation of the Xishan Bangxi Route Army earlier, the battle to intercept the Xishan Bangxi Route Army was very likely to fail miserably!
