Chapter 280: The General Doesn't Retreat
"There are a total of 600,000 border troops in southern Xinjiang, plus 450,000 defenders in Youzhou, and 450,000 defenders in neighboring states, which adds up to 1.5 million troops!"
"You told me that you were broken three cities in a row, and Youzhou lost a third?"
Yan Zhenyue didn't want to believe this result, how could such a huge force be broken by 1.5 million Wei soldiers?
"500,000 border troops in the eastern frontier of Zhao State raided from the west side, Shu sent a million troops to attack the front, and in addition, there were 500,000 troops in overseas Africa, a total of two million troops!"
"And although we have an army of 1.5 million, but the mobilization time is not enough, the Youzhou Line in southern Xinjiang, General Xue with 300,000 brothers, defended for three days and three nights!"
"We have asked Yang Xingxiong, the general of Eastern Xinjiang, for help, but Eastern Xinjiang is not very good, Beiguo dispatched 800,000 troops, and dragged the Eastern Frontier Army and the defenders of the four places to death!" Dong Si said with an ugly face.
"Your Majesty knows the news?" Yan Zhenyue asked.
"The news should have been sent to Chang'an. ”
"We've got news that Hu also has 500,000 troops approaching southern Xinjiang, and we need help!" Dong Si said.
"This ......" Yan Zhenyue gritted his teeth, the situation in Western Xinjiang is not optimistic now, and Western Xinjiang is the top priority!
They have to fight to the death with the main force of the Chu army, and if the army is dispatched out at this time, it will be ......
"I'll take 200,000 men. Liu Chu pondered for a while and said on the side.
"Two hundred thousand? I'm afraid that's not enough. Dong Si said.
"It can't be any more, you can see the situation here, and the situation in Western Xinjiang is not very good. Liu Chu pointed to the collapsed city wall.
"When will General Liu depart? I'm afraid General Xue won't last long!"
"When I came out to ask for help, General Xue had already been hit by several arrows, but he was still on the front line!" Dong Si said with tears in his eyes.
"Let's go now!" Liu Chu immediately asked Tong Botao to prepare the army.
Liu Chu took 200,000 cavalry with him, and one man and two horses, so he should be able to reach southern Xinjiang a little faster.
"I'll leave my own soldiers to you, and I'll leave it to you, Wei Suo, Hao Hongji, and Gan Chengyuan. Liu Chu patted Tong Botao's shoulder.
"You left your own soldiers to me, so what should you do?" Tong Botao shook his head desperately.
"You don't know how to fight, you're a halfway monk, how can I explain to your two uncles if you die?" Liu Chu said.
Tong Botao rolled his eyes, but what Liu Chu said was the truth, his combat experience was far inferior to Liu Chu, and even inferior to Hao Hongji and Gan Chengyuan.
"Then give me two hundred is enough, and you can take the remaining three hundred with you. Tong Botao said.
"Nope. Liu Chu shook his head and stretched out a finger.
In the end, Liu Chu only took away a hundred personal soldiers, and the remaining four hundred were left for Tong Botao.
Southern Xinjiang, Youzhou line, in the city of Tian'en.
Tian'en City is the third line of defense in Youzhou, and now it has become the trophy of the tripartite alliance of Zhao, Shu, and overseas Africa.
Although most of the people in Tian'en City have withdrawn, there are still some who have not had time to retreat.
The speed of the tripartite alliance's attack was too fast, and it was not easy to make one-third of the people of Youzhou retreat in three days.
These Youzhou people who didn't have time to escape, their fate can be imagined.
Zhao and Shu are a little better, and the overseas non-local armies are completely like madmen.
They play with women and play with children on the tip of knives as toys, while men are asked to fight each other and entertain them in a fight show that will kill them.
"This is too much, isn't it?" In Zhao and Shu, there are some generals who are a little blind, they don't treat people as human beings at all, even if they defeat the other party, they can't treat the other party's people like this, right?
"Don't say it, now in our country, is it still our king who is really in power? The court has been infiltrated by people from overseas and non-local places. ”
"Today's Zhao and Shu are only one name left, maybe one day, even this name will be gone. The general of the Zhao State sighed.
"At that time, if the Nine Nations Alliance could reach a consensus and jointly fight against the overseas African army, it would not be like this, and the current Central Plains would be in danger!"
"Everyone has a ghost, no way. The crowd around them sighed.
"You seem to be very unconvinced, you wastes of the Central Plains!" At this moment, the commander of the army in charge of attacking southern Xinjiang from overseas Africa, Menjing Dagu, came over and sneered at everyone.
The generals of Zhao and Shu dared not speak out, but just lowered their heads around the fire and pretended not to hear.
"Rubbish!" Menjing sneered, and when he turned around, he deliberately spilled the wine from his bowl on the top of one of them's heads.
"You!" the man immediately stood up and glared at Kawai Daiko.
"Come!" he snapped his finger at the man.
The general's companion immediately tugged at his arm, signaling him not to be impulsive.
The general took a deep breath and sat back down.
"Huh!" said the corners of his mouth proudly.
"You will also have to pay the price!" Menjing Dagu looked to the north, where Chang'an, the capital of Wei, was located.
His uncle, Kamen Ishirai, died there!
At that time, overseas non-local countries sent missions to Wei to pretend to negotiate peace and establish diplomatic relations with Wei, but in fact it was only to confuse the other eight countries and make them hostile to Wei.
However, Liu Chu was very simple and killed those ambassadors with a single sword, dispelling the doubts of other countries about Wei.
Despite this, the Nine Nations Alliance still failed to succeed.
"I hope Wei Guo can teach them a hard lesson!" said General Zhao, who had been poured wine just now.
"Teach them a lesson? It must have stepped over our corpses first, and you see which charge we weren't forced to take the lead?" sighed the general's companion.
"Then we will rebel! Unite with the army of Wei and kill them!" The general who had been poured wine stood up excitedly.
"Be quiet! you don't want to die!" Seeing this, the other generals hurriedly pulled him down, and at the same time looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they found that there were no overseas non-local people.
"I think General Qu's suggestion is okay. A general of Shu said.
"This won't work! We're going to die!" said another general of Shu immediately.
"Death? Do you want to die in humiliation as someone else's tool of war, or do you proudly stand up and sacrifice your life for your country?"
"Is our country still a country? It has become someone else's plaything! The kings have no backbone, we have backbone! We are generals! The general should be the first to stand up and defend the country!"
This general of Shu is called Wu Yong, a name that sounds quite useless, but he has indeed become a useless person, selling pork in the countryside for more than ten years.
Later, he was photographed by a nobleman of Shu and brought to Fuzhong to become a guard.
At a nobleman's birthday banquet, Wu Yong's outstanding performance fell into the eyes of a prince and was recommended to the army by this prince.
Later, Wu Yong became a general.
In the first half of his life, he was a useless person, and in the second half of his life, he was willing to dedicate himself to the country!
After listening to Wu Yong's words, everyone fell silent, and General Qu, who had been poured wine, was the first to stand up and said: "I support General Wu! We have 1.5 million troops in our hands now, and we can't get 500,000 of them?"
"If we unite with Wei again, they will also send a large army to help, and it will be easy to kill these 500,000 overseas non-local livestock!" Wu Yong said.
"This ......" The dozen or so generals at the scene looked at each other.
In their respective countries, they are actually not pillars, they are all fourth- and fifth-grade generals, and some are miscellaneous generals.
Those generals of the third rank and above don't want to come here to be cannon fodder at all, so this gives them the opportunity to revolt!
"It's done!" A general who was usually closest to Wu Yong gritted his teeth and stood up, expressing his support for Wu Yong.
"Then fight! This special mother's bullying days, Lao Tzu has had enough!" Zhao also had a general in the country who stood up.
In the end, all the generals on the scene reached a consensus and decided to send these 500,000 overseas non-local turtle grandsons to Huangquan Road!
Southern Xinjiang, Maicheng, here is the fourth line of defense in Youzhou, but also the last line of defense, at this time the 450,000 troops of Bingzhou have come to help, and 300,000 border troops of the Bingzhou line have also arrived.
The Youzhou defenders killed 100,000, the Youzhou line border army killed 50,000, and now the 1.35 million army is assembled, and it is also preparing to start a decisive battle with the other party.
"General Xue, go and rest. A general looked at the wounds on Xue Nankai's body, slightly distressed, those wounds were still oozing blood!
"No, it's Armageddon, I can't retreat. Xue Nankai's breathing was already a little short, but he was still gritting his teeth and insisting.
In the event of a great war, how can a general retreat? As soon as a general retreats, the morale of the army will be weakened.
"Hold on to the general for a while, don't let him get hurt again!" the general said to his men.
"Yes. The man nodded.
"General, they're coming!"
At this moment, a scout came in to announce that the tripartite alliance had launched an attack again!
"A!" Xue Nankai shouted.
The two personal soldiers behind him immediately took armor for Xue Nankai and put it on for him.
"Knife!" Xue Nankai shouted again.
The soldiers dragged their heavy steps and handed the knife to Xue Nankai's hand.
After Xue Nankai finished dressing, he strode out of the military tent, turned over his horse, and rushed towards the outside of the military camp.
An army of millions, always on standby outside, so there is no need to assemble at all.
Seeing this, the other generals in the big tent also hurriedly followed.
The general who had persuaded Xue Nankai to rest before, when he walked out of the big tent, squatted down, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the grass, and when he put his hand in front of him, it was covered with red blood.
"General. The general looked at the direction Xue Nankai left and frowned slightly.
"In a moment, the general!" the general said, gritting his teeth.
