……
March 3rd is the day that everyone is looking forward to a better life.
The 200,000-strong army of the Izumo Empire suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Liyang Dynasty.
Fifty thousand tiger troops first charged into Jiangbei County below Yelang County. Overnight, the entire Jiangbei County turned into a sea of fire.
In less than ten minutes, Jiangbei County fell, and the county magistrate Wang Guodong and three thousand defenders were killed.
The power of the Izumo Empire surprised everyone. They thought that Wang Guodong could firmly block the Izumo Empire's 50,000 troops with the natural dangers of Jiangbei County, but the fact hit them hard in the face.
Wang Guodong himself is a strong master of the seventh realm, and the three thousand defenders under him are also warriors of the western realm. They are well-equipped and have extremely high combat literacy. However, such a existence was defeated by the Izumo Empire's fifty thousand army. They broke through the city gate like killing a chicken.
Before this, the soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty thought that the Izumo Empire was weak.
But today they discovered that the Izumo Empire, which was as weak as a sheep, had turned into a terrifying wolf.
You can eat them to the bone.
……
On the west day of March, the 200,000-strong army of the Izumo Empire was divided into three groups.
Along the way, the main force, a total of 100,000 people, set out for the county seat of Yelang County.
There were fifty thousand troops each on the left and right flanks, guarding the main advance.
Wherever the three armies went, everything turned into scorched earth.
……
On March 5th, the 100,000-strong main force of the Liyang Dynasty set out from Yelang County.
……
In the afternoon, the Liyang Dynasty's 100,000 main force fought a decisive battle with the Izumo Empire's 100,000 main force in the Hedong Plain. The Liyang Dynasty was defeated, and only Xiwan remained in the 100,000-strong army.
……
On March 6th, except for the county seat, all the other fifteen county towns in Yelang County fell.
……
On March 7th, the Izumo Empire captured the city of Yelang County and the entire Yelang County fell.
……
On March 8, the Izumo Empire attacked Guanshan County, located in the north of Yelang County.
……
On March 9, the Izumo Empire attacked Suifeng County, located northwest of Yelang County.
……
On March 10th, the Izumo Empire's 100,000 troops came to Xunyang County, and Xunyang County was in danger.
……
Outside Xunyang City.
In the Izumo Empire's central military tent, the generals of the Izumo Empire were discussing the next plan.
Li Shanyang, commander-in-chief of the three armies, general of chariots and cavalry, and grand master of the Great Xiaoyao Realm.
The deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Wang Chaodong, is a former general and the grand master of the Great Xiaoyao Realm.
Qi Xuan, deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces, post-general, and grand master of the Great Freedom Realm.
In addition to them, there are also a group of generals in the Grand Master realm.
At this moment, they all had happy smiles on their faces. They had been fighting with the Liyang Dynasty for many years, but they had never achieved such a victory like today.
Wang Chaodong said excitedly: "Old Li, this battle is so damn addictive! His grandma used to fight against the Liyang Dynasty and lost nine times out of ten. Every time he had to flee in embarrassment, but it's different now. ”
"Under our powerful offensive, the Liyang Dynasty was retreating steadily. Now we not only captured Yelang County, but also Guanshan County and Suifeng County, killing nearly 100,000 Liyang Dynasty troops."
"The world says how powerful Xiao Yuanzheng is, but I think it's nothing more than that!"
Qi Xuan said bitterly and said: "I think Xiao Yuanzheng is just a wine bag and rice bag. An army of 100,000 was wiped out. I wonder how he will explain to the emperor of the Liyang Dynasty this time."
Other generals also mocked.
"Everyone in the world is talking about how powerful the Liyang Dynasty is and how it is invincible. But now that it encounters our powerful Tiger and Ben army, isn't it like a mouse has seen a cat and just surrendered without mercy? Hahaha."
"Commander, I suggest that we immediately send troops to attack Xunyang County. The current defenders of Xunyang County are only 30,000, and they cannot resist our army of 100,000. It only takes three hours for our army of 100,000 to break through Xunyang. The city wall of Yangjun."
"Commander, in terms of high-end combat power, we have three great masters of the Great Freedom Realm, while the Liyang Dynasty only has one great master of the Great Freedom Realm, Xiao Yuanzheng. Whether it is high-end combat power or basic combat power, we have to stay far away. Win the Liyang Dynasty."
"Commander, I also propose that we immediately send troops to attack Xunyang County and seize Yunzhong County. By then, Marshal, with the merits of the five counties, you will definitely be able to ascend to the position of General of Hussars!"
In the Izumo Empire, the supreme commander of the military is the general. The general often also serves as the great commander, and is the well-deserved number one person in the military.
And under the general, there is the hussar general.
The Cavalry General is on par with the Three Dukes and is definitely one of the most honorable positions among military generals.
"Don't be impatient for a moment and let me think about it for a while."
At this moment, Li Shanyang, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, was also a little moved after hearing their words.
Yes, if he carries the merits of the five counties, he will definitely be able to ascend to the position of General of Hussars.
Although his current status is very high, he is still inferior to the Hussars General.
Moreover, the honor and resources brought by a higher status will also increase, which will bring countless benefits to yourself and the family behind you.
But he also knew that their 100,000-strong army was going in alone. If they could not capture Xunyang County in the shortest time, then after the Liyang Dynasty's support troops arrived, their 100,000-strong army would be in a very passive situation.
When the time comes, the Liyang Dynasty will attack from both front and back, and their 100,000-strong army will be at risk of being wiped out. This is something he cannot tolerate.
But he would not be reconciled if he just gave up attacking Xunyang County, which was caught off guard.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Western Zhou Dynasty and said: "The whole army will rest for three hours. After three hours, if there is no news of the main support from the Liyang Dynasty, we will immediately launch a general attack on Xunyang County!"
"Yes! Commander, in three hours, Xunyang County will be captured by us!"
In the big tent, someone quickly took orders.
After hearing Li Shanyang's words, other generals showed excited smiles.
"The commander is wise, Xunyang County will definitely be captured by us within an hour of leaving the west!"
"Commander, I am willing to be a pioneer and be the first person to climb the city wall!"
"Is my decision right?" Li Shanyang frowned.
Although they had achieved an unprecedented victory in the battle against the Liyang Dynasty, there was an uneasy feeling in his heart. He didn't know where this feeling came from, but it was very strong.
On the surface, the Liyang Dynasty's army has indeed been forced into a dead end by them.
If there is no reinforcement of more than 100,000 troops, Xunyang County will be destroyed.
"I hope everything I think is right."
Li Shanyang thought to himself.
……
At the same time, in Xunyang County.
"What do I do now?"
In the Chinese army camp, Xiao Yuanzheng looked at the generals below with his brows furrowed.
He had thought their makeshift army would be fragile, but he didn't expect it to be this fragile.
In the first decisive battle, these stragglers didn't even have the courage to fight when they faced the Izumo Empire's Tiger Army. As soon as the Izumo Empire attacked, they all lost their courage to fight. Needless to say, the outcome was a huge defeat. .
In order to deal with the Izumo Empire's 200,000 tiger soldiers, they recruited a total of 180,000 troops, 50,000 black armored troops, 30,000 city defenders, and 100,000 miscellaneous troops composed of major families.
In his opinion, although their 180,000 troops were not as good as the Izumo Empire's 200,000 Tigers and Guards Army, they should not be defeated so quickly. However, he did not expect that in just half a month, this 180,000 troops would be defeated. Only his 30,000 black-armored troops were left in the army.
Although he still has 30,000 black-armored troops, in a sense, he has failed.
At this time, Su Xuan was also standing on both sides of the camp.
His brows furrowed.
"General Xiao, we have been defeated again and again in the past few days. Yelang County, Guanshan County, and Suifeng County have all fallen. Now we have retreated to Xunyang County."
"If we lose again, we will be despised by all the people."
"I have a way now. If you agree, I can completely reverse the decline of our Black Armored Army within half an hour."
Suddenly, Su Xuan stood up, his face was very resolute.
As he said, Xunyang County is already the last line of defense. If Xunyang County is broken, the Liyang Dynasty will suffer a greater disaster.
In addition, Xunyang County is still his home, and he cannot let the Izumo Empire break through it no matter what.
"you?"
Xiao Yuanzheng's face was full of surprise. Although Su Xuan's combat power was very strong, there were now hundreds of thousands of tiger troops outside Xunyang City. In this case, a Fuyao realm grandmaster could not play a big role.
"Su Xuan, you are too arrogant. How can you restore the situation by yourself?"
"Are we all just living for a living?"
After hearing what Su Xuan said, all the generals in the Grand Master realm were angry.
After experiencing such a defeat in the battle, their hearts have become very sensitive.
In their opinion, Su Xuan felt that they were incompetent.
