Chapter 1089: Fight to the death
The Khitans gathered 10,000 elites to go south, aiming directly at the French commander's army, and the war was about to break out.
The army of the commander withdrew its troops from Xiangcheng, Shuyang, and Yingchuan, leaving not a single soldier, and retreated to the two counties of Nanyang and Xiangyang. Although they retreated all the way, they were methodical, and everyone could see that the army was not afraid, but was choosing the location of the decisive battle.
A storm is coming!
The entire Central Plains, large and small forces, families, merchants, civilians, etc., are all paying attention to this battle, and from the overall situation, the outcome of this battle will determine the strength and breadth of the Khitans in the future.
If the French army loses, the Khitans will be unhindered for a long time, and they can go all the way south, perhaps cripple Su Han in Xuzhou first, and then calmly clean up the major forces in Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
If the army of the commander wins or temporarily resists, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the entire Central Plains.
The powerful bigwigs had mixed reactions.
Zuo Qian sincerely hopes that the French Shuai Army can win, and then he can give his subordinates a step, fully merge into the French Shuai Army, and deal with Sikong Sheng while helping to stabilize the large and small bandits in the south.
Tang Feihu, Su Han and others naturally hoped that the French Shuai Army and the Khitans would both lose.
Since the court was out, only the French Shuaijun, the Khitans, Su Han, and Tang Feihu were able to determine Middle-earth, and the rest of the forces were all foils, even if they could still support it now, and even if they had a little scenery, they would be crushed in the future.
If the French Shuai Army and the Khitans were both defeated, then Su Han and Tang Feihu would laugh out loud in their dreams, and then they would seize the time to suppress each other.
Because the Bai Dao gang had received the warning of Master Canghai, they did not dare to gather masters to play small tricks against the army during this period, and even Su Han himself did not dare to have any bad intentions, for fear of losing some gangs that had entered a state of "wait-and-see".
Panasonic will be on the sidelines, and even secretly collect detailed information about Yuzhou and send it to the French Shuaijun.
The Fengming faction was not as obedient as before, and Peng Erbiao became a little sleek.
This made Su Han very angry, and secretly pondered how to deal with it.
Of course, the French army led by Li Wuchang attached great importance to this battle.
"Nanyang and Xiangyang are the main battlefields. Everyone, show the determination to win, and show the posture that either you die or I die! What we want is not a draw, not a confrontation, but a victory, until there is still strength left to go north, and until the Khitans are afraid. ”
Xiangyang County, camp, Li Wuchang looked around at the generals and said solemnly.
All claims are.
This time, the five major army corps shot at the same time, with more than 100,000 troops for frontal combat, thousands of masters shouldering the task of sneak attack and breakthrough, and tens of thousands of reservists were ready at any time, and a part of them was responsible for escorting weapons, food and medicine, and building positions.
Not only the main force of the Fa Shuai Army, but also the Li family, the Zhou family, the Lin family, the Zheng family, the Guo family, the Song family and other big families have produced masters, and there are also gangs such as the Dongsheng Sword Faction, SBN, and Yangfan Club, which have sent a large number of people to help.
Lin Di, Lin Zheng, Zhou Chengwang, Zheng Wenlong, Guo Yunlei, Li Hu, Li Zhongyue, Li Qing, Li Wufear, Li Wuxian, Tang Feng and others recommended themselves one after another, hoping to go to the front line, Li Wuchang agreed, so that everyone must pay attention to their own safety.
Fang Ling was handed over to Wang Wanhong, Zhou Fang, Shi Feng, and Tie Ming, and Lin Yong, Tang Zhifeng, Li Lingwu, Zheng Heng, Zhou Sheng, and Lin Qi watched from the side.
As for the other counties, each left some elites to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau and the local guard to stabilize the field, and there were slightly more in Padang and Xicheng.
This time, the swearing-in meeting took more time, Li Wuchang made a longer speech, and also gave more rewards, and arranged the soldiers' families properly, so that everyone had no worries at all.
"The French army is not invincible, nor is it not afraid of heaven and earth, but throughout the entire Middle Earth, only our French army can compete with the Khitans, this is not glory, but responsibility!"
"We have no way out, even if we die on the battlefield, we must resist the Khitan barbarians, not only to resist, but also to fight, otherwise not only will we die, but our families in the rear will also die without a place to be buried!"
"There is no way to retreat, only to fight to the death!"
Li Wuchang's majestic voice spread throughout the venue, sonorous and powerful, and powerful self-confidence infected everyone.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The roar that broke through the sky made the spies of other forces around them dumbfounded, especially the Khitan spies.
The French commander's army was well planned, and the Khitans were indomitable.
The battle began in Nanyang, not a place of decisive battle, but a place of surprise raids, and the French Shuai Army sent a detachment of masters of the Guards Legion, a master regiment of friendship, plus a division of the Mangfu Legion and a division of the Qinghuo Legion, totaling more than 15,000 people, to intercept the Khitan vanguard troops by different routes.
Due to the fact that a lot of preparations had been made in Nanyang before, although the number of French commanders fighting in Nanyang was not large, they were still at ease.
The key roads, positions, traps, masters, and sharp weapons made the Khitan vanguard troops suffer enough, and they had to slow down and fight with the French commander's army, turning Nanyang into a guerrilla battlefield.
During this period, Li Wuchang, Cang Zhang, Nie Jin, and Lin Ju all took action in person, killing more than ten Khitan character masters, and the means were extremely neat, causing a great sensation.
"Listen, Lu accepts the challenge of any Khitan master!" These are the words that Li Wuchang openly released, and the target is directly aimed at Yelu Peak.
After all, Li Wuchang and Ye Lufeng are the leaders of both sides.
After Ye Lufeng heard this, he immediately became angry, shouting that he would fight to the death with Li Wuchang, and he could not let a small number of French commanders drag the Khitan army in Nanyang.
Fighting guerrilla warfare in Nanyang, the Khitans were indeed inferior to the French Shuai Army, because Nanyang had existed in the hands of the French Shuai Army for a period of time after all, and it was convenient to occupy the land.
Coupled with the suppression of sharp weapons such as crossbows and earth mines, the Khitan people have words of suffering.
"The eldest prince, Lu Xifa's call for war this time is clearly deliberate, if you respond to the battle, you will definitely fall into the well-arranged trap. The people of Middle-earth are cunning, how can he Lucifer be an exception?" Ye Ercong was calmer.
Even if there is no conspiracy, Ye Ercong is not optimistic that Yelu Feng can stabilize Li Wuchang.
According to the previous battle report, Li Wuchang often made contributions to the top-grade Khitan masters with one or two faces, but Yelufeng did not have this strength.
Ye Ercong didn't know why Li Wuchang's strength suddenly became so strong, but this was the truth after all. In case Yelu Feng was planted in Li Wuchang's hands, the blow to the Khitan elite morale would be fatal.
"Do you want to let Lu Xifa, Nie Jin, Lin Ju, Old Man Cang and other fanatics do whatever they want?" Ye Lufeng was very angry.
It was only at this moment that he realized that the number of masters in the Fashuai Army was really no less than that of the Khitans, especially the masters of the rank of Jiupin.
Ye Erxin wanted to guard against the two bald donkeys in the Canghai River, and he couldn't go out in person for the time being.
Ye Ercong said calmly: "The top master is only a small part of the battlefield, we only need to strengthen the protection, and then let the army run down layer by layer as quickly as possible, the army of the commander will be defeated in Nanyang, and we can only retreat to Xiangyang." The next step is the tough battle."
Yelufeng thought for a moment and said, "Then use the army to crush Nanyang as soon as possible and enter Xiangyang!"
