On the same day, at Shanhai City.
When the allied army attacked Gushan County, Lord Chunshen and the grassland allied army launched an attack on Shanhai City.
Lord Chunshen and Xiong Ba led 20,000 troops to attack the western side of Shanhai City.
The 30,000 grassland allied army attacked the northern side, guarding the bridge and blocking reinforcements.
The western side was the core of Shanhai City.
Because of the agreement with the grassland allied army, the First Division defended the western side.
As for the northern side, only a few reserves were arranged.
The "battle" at Shanhai City was not as tragic as that at Gushan County because of the grassland allied army's "cooperation".
Although the allied army also brought a large number of catapults, Shanhai City was not like Gushan County. On the city walls, there were dozens of three-bow eight-bull crossbows. Its defensive power was astonishing.
Therefore, the allied army's 20,000 troops could not do anything to the city walls guarded by the First Division.
As a mixed light infantry and cavalry division, the First Division was equipped with saber and shield soldiers, pikemen and archers. It was the best combination for defending the city walls.
In the morning, the allied army suffered heavy losses but gained nothing.
Shanhai City was still as firm as a rock, standing steadily in the wilderness.
Lord Chunshen was no fool. He saw the strangeness of the grassland allied army.
At noon, Lord Chunshen found Dai Qin.
"General, what do you mean?" Lord Chunshen's expression was extremely ugly. He almost fell out on the spot.
Dai Qin said apologetically, "I have no choice. I strongly support the attack on Shanhai City, but the generals have objections. They complain that the reinforcements came too late and caused them heavy losses. Therefore, the main attack on Shanhai City will naturally be your department's responsibility. The allied army will only be responsible for restraining Friendship City and Pool City. "
Lord Chunshen paused and looked embarrassed.
A few days ago, he had sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, causing the grassland allied army to suffer heavy losses.
Unexpectedly, retribution came so quickly.
Fortunately, Lord Chunshen was very shrewd. He lightly changed the topic and said with a smile: "It is not deliberately delaying. We have been travelling day and night. I would like to ask the general to explain to the other officers. I hope that everyone will put aside their former enmity and work together. Look at the long term. As long as we take Shanhai City, won't all our losses be recouped? "
"Your Excellency is right. I will do my best."
Lord Chunshen did not receive a reply and felt somewhat helpless. He had no choice but to make another promise, saying: "As long as your esteemed department is willing to cooperate, I promise that after taking Shanhai City, I will hand it over to your esteemed department to manage. How about it?"
Dai Qin smiled bitterly in his heart. If the old nest was still there, he would naturally be happy to see it happen. However, it was a pity that Shanhai City was superior to them. Even if you were to promise them a mountain of gold and silver, it would be useless.
In other words, as long as the Steppe Alliance Army did not suffer heavy casualties, they would have the strength to quickly take down Shanhai City. Dai Qin would also have strange thoughts about it. If they could take down Shanhai City as soon as possible, they would be able to protect the lives of their clansmen. Unfortunately, Shanhai City wasn't something they could take down in a day or two.
By that time, the grassland would have already turned into a river of blood.
Dai Qin looked sympathetically at Lord Chunshen. This fellow, who was kept in the dark, was probably still dreaming of occupying Shanhai City?!
Dai Qin's expression didn't change at all. He asked excitedly, "Is this true?"
"Of course!"
Lord Chunshen's voice was warm, like a spring breeze. Those who saw him couldn't help but praise him as a "modest gentleman".
In reality, Lord Chunshen was disdainful in his heart. A bunch of brainless barbarians. Casually making an empty promise and believing it to be true. When Shanhai City is truly occupied and the allied army converges, how can you say what you want?
The two old foxes looked at each other, both believing that victory was in their grasp.
Their smiles were as "sincere" as they could be.
Those who didn't know better would think that the two were close friends.
Xiong Ba, who was accompanying them, couldn't help but shiver at the sight of Lord Chunshen's smile.
While the two sides were fighting, the City Guard Division stationed in Friendship City had already stealthily left the city, crossed the moat, turned west, and then crossed the Friendship River. Without anyone noticing, they circled behind the allied army.
At this point, the Shanhai City Army had completely surrounded Lord Chunshen's troops.
To avoid alerting the enemy, the allied army still had to continue attacking the city in the afternoon.
Once the Second Division captured Duanren County, the Shanhai City Army could immediately take down Lord Chunshen's troops.
The large net that Bai Qi had weaved was already in place. All that was left was to be drawn in at the last moment.
Under Lord Chunshen's supervision, the "offensive" in the afternoon was naturally more "ferocious". In order to cooperate with the allied army, Shanhai City had no choice but to send a portion of its soldiers to participate in the defense of the northern city wall.
Even so, the siege did not improve.
Lord Chunshen no longer had any reason to question Dai Qin. He could only return to his tent gloomily.
Thus, the day's battle ended strangely.
On the 15th of February, the most crucial day of the battle of Lianzhou arrived.
Early in the morning, the Second Division finally arrived outside Duanren County.
After arriving at Duanren County, Luo Shixin did not immediately attack the city. Instead, he had the Shadow Cavalry lead the Fourth Brigade to the territory that the Battle Wolf Tribe had teleported from, preparing to exterminate them.
This time, Bai Qi wanted to completely cut off the allied army's retreat and trap them alive in the Lianzhou Basin.
The appearance of the army caught Duanren County unprepared.
At this time, Duanren County was no different from an empty city.
Faced with the menacing Second Division, Duanren County was like a wounded wife, unable to retaliate.
The Second Division rushed into Duanren County effortlessly. Wherever the iron hooves passed, there were wails of victims.
If it weren't for Bai Qi's repeated instructions before they left, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so as not to affect the territory's future rule over Duanren County, Duanren County would have become hell on earth.
After entering the city, Luo Shixin led the army and went straight to the Lord's Mansion.
The Lord's Mansion still had some defensive power. Unfortunately, in the face of the Second Division, it was tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
In less than half an hour, the Lord's Mansion was completely taken.
Lin Yi led the generals to the meeting hall and began to attack the territory's stone tablet.
Only then did Ba Dao receive a system notification.
"System notification: Your territory is under attack!"
…
The urgent notification made Ba Dao's heart tremble. He knew it was bad and immediately informed Di Chen and Battle Wolf.
At this time, the allied army was preparing to launch a second attack on Gushan County.
Hearing the news, Di Chen and Battle Wolf's hearts trembled and they felt uneasy.
"It's the army of Shanhai City?" Di Chen could no longer remain calm.
"Who else could it be other than them?" Ba Dao was flustered and exasperated.
"How did they appear?"
"Who knows?"
…
For a moment, the allied army was discussing among themselves, but they couldn't come up with a solution.
The development of the situation was really beyond their expectations.
Without detailed information, even an old general like Lian Po was helpless.
Seeing this scene, Ba Dao's heart turned cold. He said loudly, "I don't care, I have to lead the troops back, or it will be too late!" He had completely lost patience with the Yan Huang Alliance.
"It's too late to go now. You might as well cooperate with us to take down Gushan County!"
Di Chen tried to dissuade Ba Dao's reckless behavior. The territory stone tablet could only last for an hour at most. There was no point in rushing over at this time.
Strictly speaking, Di Chen's suggestion was not wrong.
Unfortunately, the person he was trying to persuade was a Lord who was about to lose his mind.
"Cooperate with you?" Ba Dao's face was full of mockery. He almost roared at Di Chen, "My territory is about to be taken down. How can I cooperate with you? Take down Gushan County? Stop bragging. You won't be able to take down Gushan County without two or three days. By then, it will be too late! I shouldn't have listened to you. It would have been better to sign an agreement with Shanhai City. I could have become a rich man! "
Ba Dao directly went berserk. He no longer listened to Di Chen's advice. His words were no longer polite.
"Don't be so shameless!"
Military Kill Ripper couldn't stand it anymore. He had always looked down on Ba Dao.
He was just a nobody. He only got in touch with the Yan Huang Alliance because his territory was in the Lianzhou Basin. Otherwise, if it were any other time, no one would bother with him.
Ba Dao's face instantly turned black. He stared at Military Kill Ripper and said something ruthless.
"Go to hell!"
After saying that, Ba Dao Tou didn't say anything and directly led his troops away.
"You!"
Military Kill Ripper was furious and wanted to chase after him.
"Enough!" Di Chen's tone suddenly became unfriendly. He glared at Military Kill Ripper and said loudly, "Have you had enough? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? "
Di Chen looked at Military Kill Ripper with dissatisfaction. This boorish man couldn't do proper things, but he was good at making trouble. Originally, he still had a chance to persuade Ba Dao. Now, Ba Dao was completely enraged.
Seeing Di Chen's anger, Military Kill Ripper's heart trembled. He didn't dare to say anything.
In an instant, the alliance fell apart.
Seeing Ba Dao leave, the leaders of the Yan Huang Alliance looked at each other.
Battle Wolf stood out to be the peacemaker. "Alright, alright. Everyone calm down."
"Yeah, the most important thing now is, what should we do next? Are we still going to attack Gushan District? "Wandering Huan also said, trying to divert everyone's attention.
As soon as he said that, the surroundings became silent.
That's right, what should I do next?
Not to mention whether or not they could take Gushan District, even if they could, they would suffer heavy casualties. Did the alliance still have the ability to attack Shanhai City?
Smart people knew that the operation to attack Shanhai City had failed before it was over.
A sense of dejection spread among the alliance.
Thinking back to the time when the plan had been made, everyone had been so excited that they couldn't sleep at all. Thinking about how they could deal a fatal blow to Not Say Wuyi, the mountain that weighed down on the Yan Huang Alliance, everyone had been so excited that they couldn't sleep.
At the beginning of the war, everything went smoothly. Everything was within their expectations.
On the forum, there was also a lot of voices criticizing Shanhai City.
Since when did the situation of the war begin to turn around?
For a while, no one could give an answer.
After a long time, Di Chen stood up and said bitterly, "Let's retreat!"
A cool breeze blew, and there was no sound. (To be continued.)
