Chapter 1554: Straight into the hinterland
Just as the fleet was immediately overturned after receiving a large number of supplies, the appearance of dragonflies turned the situation of the estuary upside down in an instant. Each dragonfly is above the twenty-second level, which is almost equivalent to the fourth-level cultivation of human vitality, and has air superiority, which ordinary soldier is the opponent, every dive of the dragonfly will take away a human life with the spikes on its claws, dozens of big dragonflies are raging, and the encirclement immediately tears a gap.
Song Ming immediately made a decision, and immediately issued an order to break through, more than forty private soldiers rushed out, and the soldiers on Chongming Island were all evading the pursuit of dragonflies, and they were powerless to stop it, and the two sides quickly converged.
The dragonfly was led by a private soldier, and when he saw Song Ming and the others at a glance, he immediately ordered the dragonfly to descend. In a matter of seconds, the privates were caught by the dragonflies and flew high into the air.
There was no need to save at this time, Song Ming and the private soldiers threw all the remaining high-explosive grenades. After a series of dense explosions, the dragonfly had disappeared into the distance. The commander of Chongming Island was furious, and nearly half a month's efforts were in vain, and he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
In the same situation as him, all the private soldiers in the estuaries of the two islands fled, and the sudden appearance of large dragonflies caught them by surprise, and they did not even have time to arrange countermeasures, but could only watch the boiled ducks fly away.
Unbeknownst to them, the escape of the private soldiers did not mean the end, and that their main city would be hit with unimaginable violence
At the mouth of the river, there was a seven-story treasure ship, and the private soldiers rested and adjusted on the boat, and the wounded stepped up to heal. They have a task ahead of them. After seeing the content of the mission, the private soldiers couldn't close their mouths with joy, because the task given to them by Lord Jiang was to bomb the important targets of the two main cities of the island. Including the Royal Palace, Barracks. weapons production factories and other places
A day later, the big dragonfly on the seven-story treasure ship moored outside Haikou took off again. It's like bombers. This time they each grabbed a long box under them, and the privates were inside, each carrying ten bombs
Just as the bombers took off, the palace on Mandan Island was in turmoil, noisier than the vegetable market, and the three parties quarreled with each other, each with red faces and red ears, looking eager to tear each other apart.
The head of the Nangong family sat on the throne with a gloomy face, since the beginning of this war. He had always thought that the battlefield was outside the island, and that the few people at the mouth of the river would not be able to stir up the wind and waves, and it would not be long before they were wiped out.
But he never expected that the other party would send a team of 20,000 people. He didn't know when or where the other party landed, but by the time he found out, the other party had already penetrated more than 1,500 miles into Mandan Island and entered the hinterland.
In the morning, two urgent reports came one after another. In less than two hours, Donglai Dacheng was first breached, followed by Kafeng Dacheng's distress letter, and they were almost unable to withstand it. The sudden news scared him so much that he almost lost his heart attack. It took a long time to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly rushed all the high-level officials to discuss countermeasures.
From the morning to the afternoon, they were stunned that they could not reach a unified decision. The people of the Nangong family advocated sending a large army to encircle and suppress. The other side is only 20,000 people. And a group of officers led by the Wang family believed that sending a large army was sending them to death. The opponent is well-armed, and it is simply not something that an ordinary army can deal with. This can be seen in their quick victory over two large cities. The safest way is to go all out on defense and increase investment in military factories to speed up the production of artillery and grenades.
However, a group of civilian officials led by the Yang family believed that peace talks should be the mainstay, because the opponent's attack power was too strong, and two large cities were captured in a short period of time, and the defense was ineffective at all. And after the other party has closed the city, the next step is the northern gateway of the royal city, the north leads to the big city. Once Beitong can't be defended, the main city will be in danger. And now that the overseas war is unfavorable, Ahong Island has not been put into the battlefield, so what if the situation is unfavorable to us.
The three parties have their own opinions, and they can be calm at first, but the more they talk about it, the more angry they become, and they have to do it in the end.
The head of the Nangong family was also very hesitant, from his heart, he didn't want to defend, he was too passive. But the speed of 20,000 people is too fast, and it may not be feasible to encircle and suppress it. As for the peace talks, he did not consider this opinion at all.
"Peace talks, the last time the peace talks lost Mingque Island, do you want to give up the entire Mandan Island this time?" A big man from the Nangong family pointed at a middle-aged man on the opposite side and shouted.
"I mean to drag the other party through peace talks, everything depends on the development of the situation, if Ahong Island wins, we can turn our faces at any time! The middle-aged man sneered at each other.
"Who the hell do you say is going to die?" The big man's eyes widened with rage.
"Isn't it right, even if you give you an army of 100,000, do you think you can beat others?" The middle-aged man asked with a sneer.
"The opponent's weapons are powerful, but we have an army, if 100,000 is not enough, then 200,000! The cities on the southeast, south, and west sides can mobilize 240,000 troops!"
"But have you thought about it, how much we will lose! Since Jiang Xingchen can send 20,000 people, he can send another 30,000. What else are you going to resist?"
"Shut up!" The head of the Nangong family shouted, and a slap was placed on the chair handle.
The hall suddenly fell silent, and they all lowered their heads, waiting for the final decision of the Nangong family master.
"Xingchen leads the army in a desperate shortage, it is impossible to have an army of 20,000 people, it is very likely that it is in cooperation with other forces and mobilized manpower! And it is very likely that he will have follow-up troops, if this is the case, it is really not possible to fight hard!" The head of the Nangong family thought and said.
The middle-aged man of the Yang family smiled proudly after hearing this, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the head of the Nangong family continue: "In this way, there is only one way to defend! As long as you can prevent the opponent's attack and delay until the situation is clear, the opponent will not attack itself." The son of the An family and Ah Hong Island swore before, and they would not fail in the future!"
The expression of the head of the Yang family froze suddenly, and the emperor didn't even mention his opinion. The head of the Wang family next to him laughed and said, "Let's mobilize 200,000 troops to defend, as long as the logistics weapons keep up, they will never be able to break through Beitong City."
"Your Majesty!" The head of the Yang family wanted to say more, but the head of the Nangong family waved his hand and said, "According to the opinion of the Wang family, immediately mobilize the army and make every effort to defend Beitong City." ”
The head of the Yang family was interrupted, lowered his head, a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and snorted in his heart.
"Report!" Just when the head of the Nangong family was about to disperse the dynasty, a guard hurriedly ran to the door and said loudly: "Urgent messages have been sent back from the major estuaries that the encirclement and suppression have failed, and the other party's personnel have been rescued by the big dragonfly!"
"What?" The head of the Nangong family frowned, he really didn't expect that he would send so many troops and masters without leaving hundreds of people behind.
Other high-level officials were also stunned, tens of thousands of people surrounded and suppressed hundreds of people, and they were actually run away, are the soldiers on Mandan Island so weak.
Before everyone could digest the news, another guard ran over, looking very anxious, panting and reporting loudly: "Your Majesty, urgent military report, Beitong City is under attack!" (To be continued.) )
