Chapter 147 Crisis
The Great Xia Kingdom was in a turmoil. Fu Minghui, who had just become the Grand Marshal, began to be busy forming more imperial guards. However, at this moment, few people were willing to join the army! The people were very smart. The Great Xia Kingdom was about to be in civil turmoil. At this time, joining the army was looking for death.
Therefore, Fu Minghui turned his head white. Looking at the Imperial Guard who had less than 10,000 in front of him, Fu Minghui could only sigh and sigh again.
No, Fu Minghui found Shangguan Guang as the Taiwei, Shangguan Guang was a general, and he was supposed to obey the Taiwei's order. Unfortunately, Shangguan Guang directly closed the door and refused to see him! Fu Minghui was so angry that he really wanted to cut this bastard with one knife. Unfortunately, there are too many bastards like Daxia Kingdom now! He is the king with a soldier.
It was not until this moment that Fu Minghui understood that high-ranking officials were not that easy to do! It is not even more competent for ordinary people to be political evergreen!
What about the south, Nanyang County and Kong family? Although the Kong family agreed to send troops, they did send troops, but the Kong family did not directly attack the army of Zhongshan County. Instead, they slowly pressed forward a little every day and slowly advanced every day. However, the momentum was strong!
Such oppression made Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, anxious and made Zhongshan County continue to strengthen its battle with Anyang, striving to open up Anyang as soon as possible and contact Cai State.
To put it bluntly, the Kong family was simply "drive away" the soldiers from Zhongshan County to attack Anyang, and was extremely vicious.
The reality is indeed as "designed" by the Kong family. Although Anyang can temporarily block the attack of Zhongshan County with a large number of talismans, cannons, machine guns, etc., it is in danger. The 200,000 army and 200,000-year-old army are not a joke. Now Anyang is like a small boat in a storm, which may capsize at any time.
As for Li Liang, Li Liang is now like Fu Minghui, many military powers in Kaiping County are not under Li Liang's control. At this critical moment, many seemingly obedient generals actually pretended to be deaf and dumb.
This situation makes Anyang worse.
Fortunately, Anyang was the first to solve the problem of Luliang County, and at least half of the crisis was solved. But the current situation is not very good, and Anyang is still very dangerous!
Can't delay any more!
With no choice, Xu Ren had to think that Zhao Guoshan, the governor of Luliang County, and Zhao Youdan, the major general, were to be precise, Major General, Zhao Youdan!
Zhao Youdan, who was sealed with true energy, was taken to Xu Ren, Xia Qingqing and Yan Ze'an.
Zhao Youdan looked haggard at this moment. No matter who faces such a situation, it is impossible not to be haggard, let alone almost be killed by artillery before.
Xu Ren took the lead in asking, "Zhao Youdan, you father and son are now punished by death, but they cannot escape the crime of living. Do you know?"
Zhao Youdan snorted coldly and said nothing.
Xu Ren shook his feather fan, "Now there is a chance to atone for merit. This opportunity not only helps you and your father to get rid of the crime, but can even regain wealth and honor it, and even receive praise from His Majesty. How about it?"
Zhao Youdan is not a waste either, he narrowed his eyes, "Do you want me to be a puppet?"
Xu Ren smiled slightly, patted his hands gently and slowly opened the door. A group of Yingying Yanyan walked in, but it was Zhao Youdan's wife and concubine, with more than a dozen.
"Honey," "Official," "Husband"
A delicate voice surrounded Zhao Youdan.
Zhao Youdan asked one by one and received news that made Zhao Youdan happy. Anyang protected all the wives and concubines of Zhao Guoshan, Zhao Youdan and other senior officials, and did not endure hardships. This situation made Zhao Youdan have to develop a little favor to Anyang.
Xu Ren smiled confidently: "Zhao Youdan, have you thought about it?"
Zhao Youdan took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what should I do!"
"Disposing a smart person is simple. Two conditions, swear, and integrate Luliang County to attack Zhongshan County! You only have three days!"
"Yes, but I need to take Li Yuanming away. Li Yuanming is well aware of the situation in Luliang County. Only Li Yuanming can integrate Luliang County as soon as possible."
Xu Ren narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean is that as long as I can let Li Yuanming serve Anyang, you father and son will be useless?"
Zhao Youdan was stunned, then snorted hatefully, but stopped talking.
Xu Ren immediately ordered Cheng Jiming to use a vehicle to send Zhao Youdan back to Nanliang Prefecture, the capital of Luliang County, and notified Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing, who were stationed in Nanliang Prefecture, to immediately lead soldiers to attack Zhongshan County from the side, and make sure to disrupt the deployment of Zhongshan County. The worst is the worst, and Zhongshan County must also be divided into troops and the logistics is chaotic.
After Zhao Youdan left, Xu Ren immediately rushed to the front line in person, and the rear allowed Xia Qingqing and Yan Ze'an to manage the front line, but Xu Ren must be used. Governance and logistics guarantee are the responsibility of Xia Qingqing and Yan Ze'an, while the front line battle is Xu Ren's area.
Now stationed on the Anyang front line are two generals, one is Cheng Jiming, and the other is Wang Jian who guards the Anyang border, with only a few teams. After all, Emperor Cai made a vow, and this vow is still guaranteed, but the premise is that the anti-army of Zhongshan County cannot be allowed to break through Anyang.
Standing on a flying magic weapon, Xu Ren looked at the battlefield from afar. The 200,000 troops in Zhongshan County are not fake. Perhaps these soldiers have never been on the battlefield, but the pressure of 200,000 still makes Anyang breathless. The entire Anyang has less than 400,000 people.
The reason why Anyang can withstand the pressure now is mainly because of the spiritual shock brought by artillery. These soldiers from Zhongshan County have not experienced the cruel battlefield, so they were a little cowardly for a while. But after more than two days of battle, the soldiers of Zhongshan County are also maturing rapidly. Don’t forget that every soldier here has cultivation, and there are many foundation-building stages!
Xu Ren took a deep breath. If things didn't turn around, Anyang would fall for at most three days! The 200,000 army was too terrifying. Anyang really couldn't stand it!
Zhongshan County also has its own gunpowder and muskets. They were technology sent by Cai State. Even Zhongshan County also has "primitive cannons", which are the kind of cannons that fire solid projectiles. Zhongshan County's artillery technology is also accelerating its maturity and has gradually posed a threat to Anyang!
The artillery kept roaring, and the soldiers of Anyang who had the advantage of artillery fired desperately, fired during the day and at night. Only then did they temporarily withstand the pressure. However, the soldiers of Anyang had not rested for more than two consecutive days and had begun to be exhausted.
Suddenly, a quarrel came from a distance, and soon an emergency call for help came from there. Xu Ren's heart sank. This was not the first time. Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, was not a fool, and of course he would not "behaved" to send the soldiers to death.
Shi Chengsong formed several commandos composed entirely of foundation-building masters, and used a large number of magic weapons to attack with talismans and magic.
There are many one-time self-destructing magic weapons! Maybe the power of the self-destructing magic weapons is very low, maybe the speed of the self-destructing magic weapons is very slow, the attack distance is limited, maybe the cost of the self-destructing magic weapons is very high, and it may even damage the spiritual consciousness of the masters in the foundation-building stage. But no matter what, this is indeed a useful means!
A piece of inferior self-destructive magic weapon flew towards the Anyang defenders. The Anyang defenders immediately released a large number of talismans, and an ice "long dragon" appeared, surrounding and closing these inferior magic weapons.
But the next moment, these inferior magic weapons exploded. The explosion opened the ice dragon from the inside, and countless cold air overflowed, which affected the Anyang defenders. Then the Zhongshan County elites in the rear took the opportunity to attack.
The rapid-fire machine gun and bed crossbow began to show their power, causing many foundation-building masters in Zhongshan County to be injured, but these foundation-building masters insisted on talismans, spells, and true energy to strike forward.
In the sky, a war magic weapon arrived in time. The temporary 47mm rapid-fire cannon was temporarily installed to repel the enemy's raid in time and cost the enemy a heavy price. Half of the Foundation Establishment Masters were left forever. But this raid brought hundreds of casualties to Anyang.
Such raids occur almost all the time, and sometimes multiple foundation-building teams will raid at the same time. In more than two days, Anyang has paid more than 2,000 casualties, although more than 300 masters of the foundation-building stage in Zhongshan County have died!
Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, was already crazy, Xu Ren understood this very well! It took two days, and even Shi Chengsong's stupidity should have known that Luliang County was over, and Shi Chengsong's adviser, Gu Songfeng, was dead! Shi Chengsong, who had no way out, would only become even more crazy, and even took Zhongshan County to be buried with him, and perhaps Daxia Country to be buried with him.
There is also a talented man from Zhongshan County, the Minister of the Honglu Temple in Cai, Ye Mingquan, who was behind the scenes, can be imagined the crisis facing Anyang.
Originally, Anyang also hoped that Kaiping County in the north, Li Liang could provide enough support. As a result, many defenders in Kaiping County listened to the command and did not listen to Xuan. Everything was easy to say. At the critical moment, let it go!
Li Liang has only taken over Kaiping County for more than half a year, and now he can only control dozens of miles around Kaiping County's capital, that's all. Li Liang sent only 20,000 soldiers, and it is mainly new recruits.
At this moment, even Xu Ren was at a loss. The difference was too great, and it was difficult to take any measures to remedy it. Anyang faced a disaster and a great disaster!
