On the evening of February 15th, in Shanhai City.
The setting sun was like blood, illuminating both inside and outside of Shanhai City.
Outside the western gate was a scene of devastation after the war.
After completing the encirclement, Bai Qi did not give the allied forces a chance to choose and immediately launched a fierce attack.
The three armies completely suppressed the allied forces, making them unable to move.
After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the allied forces were completely defeated. They were either killed or surrendered.
In this battle, Lord Chunshen died in battle and Zhao Kuo was captured.
This defeat was enough to hurt Lord Chunshen to the bone. Not only was Zhao Kuo, whom they had worked so hard to subdue, captured, but all the elite generals in the army were either captured or killed in battle.
This was undoubtedly one disaster after another for Dan Yang County, whose military was not strong to begin with. In particular, Zhao Kuo's capture would be Lord Chunshen's greatest loss in the past year.
Presumably, Lord Chunshen needed some time to heal his wounds.
The battle of Lian Province was destined to be Lord Chunshen's Waterloo battle.
Zhao Kuo was captured, and he was prepared to die.
The strange thing was that he wasn't sent to prison. Instead, he was temporarily placed under house arrest in Marquis Lian's Mansion.
Ouyang Shuo was prepared to use Zhao Kuo.
As a lord, the most important thing was to put the right person in the right position.
Zhao Kuo had his own stage.
Lord Chunshen had died in battle. Naturally, all of his equipment had been dropped. According to Mu Lanyue, among the equipment that Lord Chunshen dropped, there was a purple-gold accessory that was extremely suitable for Ouyang Shuo. As for what it was, the little girl kept him in suspense. She would have to wait until Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City to unravel the mystery.
As for the other main character of the Yan Huang Alliance, Xiong Ba, he received a different treatment.
Xiong Ba was already prepared to die, but after a turn of events, he won a chance of survival.
Following Ouyang Shuo's instructions, Bai Qi released Xiong Ba and the important generals under his command. They were allowed to leave the Lian Province Basin through the teleportation portal in Shanhai City.
There were two reasons why Ouyang Shuo did this. Firstly, he wanted to befriend Xiong Ba and plant a seed within the Yan Huang Alliance.
Secondly, it was also to deliberately divide the relationship between Lord Chunshen and Xiong Ba. The two of them were in the same trench, but their treatment was completely different. Even though Lord Chunshen could see through Ouyang Shuo's sinister intentions, he still held a grudge against Xiong Ba.
To Xiong Ba, it was impossible for him to reject such kindness.
For a lord, the life and death of an individual was not important.
The death of ordinary soldiers was not enough to hurt the territory.
The real key was still the backbone generals that they had painstakingly trained. If they died in battle, it would be a disaster for the army. It would be extremely difficult to nurture them again.
This move of Ouyang Shuo's was an open and aboveboard scheme, and Xiong Ba was unable to refuse it.
After the battle, the various armies began to calculate the casualties.
According to statistics, a total of eight thousand soldiers of the allied army had surrendered. All of them had been unarmed and temporarily detained.
Like a cornered beast, the army of Shanhai City also suffered sacrifices.
The grassland allied army lost more than two thousand people, and in the end, only twenty-eight thousand soldiers were left. What awaited them was a complete reorganization by the Military Affairs Office.
The City Guard Division had lost a total of more than four thousand men, a heavy loss. Most of the casualties occurred when the grassland allied forces attacked Friendship City.
It was precisely because of this that the City Guard Division and the Grassland Allied Army held a grudge.
Affected by this, even Zhao Sihu and Dai Qin were not on good terms.
This knot in his heart was not easy to resolve.
As for the First Division, the loss of more than one thousand five hundred men was considered good.
After taking care of the allied Western Army, Bai Qi's eyes were already on the allied Eastern Army.
After the battle, Bai Qi ordered the First Division to rest for a night and rush to the Eastern War Zone the next day.
The City Guard Division guarded Shanhai City, while the grassland allied army waited for reorganization.
Before completely subjugating the grassland tribes, Bai Qi was still a little worried about the grassland allied army. He dared not let them leave his sight and enter the battlefield independently.
The same setting sun, the same desolation.
In the wilderness, the eastern army camp.
Di Chen, Zhan Lang, Wandering Huan, Military Kill Ripper, Lian Po, and Zhao Zhuang gathered together.
"The Western Army has been annihilated. If nothing unexpected happens, Shanhai City will send an army to encircle us tomorrow. Everyone, do you have any ideas? "Di Chen was the first to speak.
There was a moment of silence. The successive setbacks had already made them despair.
"The only way is to fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death? Even if we fight to the death, what can we do? Can we still walk out of Lianzhou Basin alive? "
"But we can't surrender! Even if we die, we have to bite a piece of Shanhai City's meat. "
"Stupid!"
"You!"
"Let's talk business!" Di Chen was a little annoyed.
Di Chen's shrewdness was much deeper than Military Kill Ripper's. As soon as he knew that Duanren County was besieged, Di Chen had already contacted his family secretly.
After learning about the situation in Lianzhou, which concerned the survival of the Yan Huang Alliance, the older generation of the family was also alarmed.
They formed a think tank to discuss countermeasures.
The discussion came and went.
The only way was to persuade another territory to tear up the contract with Shanhai City.
This was difficult, but not impossible.
In this world, nothing was absolute. The only thing that mattered was whether you were willing to pay the price.
With the strength of the Di Family, they naturally had the confidence to do so.
Thinking about it, there would be results as soon as tonight.
Di Chen had to think about how to get rid of the Shanhai City army. Right now, the Third Division was like a hunting dog, chasing after the allied army.
Tomorrow, there would definitely be more troops coming to attack.
By that time, even if he managed to contact the territory, he would not be able to secretly teleport back to his territory under the nose of the Shanhai City army.
The only way was to sacrifice the rook to save the king.
At the thought of this, Di Chen's eyes swept across the crowd, remaining silent.
Who would be the sacrificial pawn?
Not all of them could leave. One or two had to stay to attract the attention of the Shanhai City army.
Lian Po had to be taken away. He was his lifeblood. Battle Wolf was the ally he was fighting for, so he had to inform him. If Battle Wolf left, Zhao Zhuang would naturally follow.
Only Wandering Huan and Military Kill Ripper were left.
Wandering Huan was the best friend of his sworn enemy, Xiong Ba. He was the first to be abandoned by Di Chen.
Finally, there was Military Kill Ripper.
Thinking of Military Kill Ripper's recklessness and the ambiguous relationship between him and Lord Chunshen, Di Chen's eyes turned cold. He decided to completely abandon this chess piece.
With the plan decided, Di Chen felt a wave of relief. He silently watched the quarreling people.
Among them, only Battle Wolf vaguely sensed Di Chen's strangeness.
In the end, the discussion ended on bad terms.
Battle Wolf intentionally left it to the end. Sure enough, Di Chen stopped him.
After listening to Di Chen's plan, Battle Wolf was silent. He had mixed feelings.
Di Chen's way of doing things was completely different from Battle Wolf's. Battle Wolf could not blame Di Chen.
After all, everyone had their own ambitions.
"I will remember this favor!"
Battle Wolf finished speaking and walked out of the tent.
Di Chen looked at Battle Wolf's back in silence. How could everything go smoothly in a family like his?
In the darkness of the night, a team of a hundred people quietly left the camp and disappeared into the wilderness.
The next day, the allies woke up.
Military Kill Ripper and Wandering Huan were shocked to find that Di Chen and Battle Wolf had disappeared.
Along with Di Chen and the others, a group of their backbone generals also left.
"We have been abandoned!" Wandering Huan's face was ugly.
Military Kill Ripper even cursed, "Di Chen!"
The two poor people who had been abandoned looked at each other in silence.
Wandering Huan looked at Military Kill Ripper with an indescribable expression.
He already knew that Xiong Ba had been released by Shanhai City. Military Kill Ripper, as a sworn enemy of He Yue Wuyi, would definitely die in Lian Zhou Basin. He did not have to die with him.
"What should we do now?" Military Kill Ripper asked.
Wandering Huan, who already had other ideas in his mind, pretended to be helpless and said, "Before the army of Shanhai City arrives, let's just do this!"
"What do you mean by that? In my opinion, since we are going to die in Lian Zhou Basin anyway, why not lead the army and kill some people in Shanhai Territory? Killing one is worth it, and killing two is worth it! "
Wandering Huan's heart trembled. He knew that his opportunity had come.
On the surface, Wandering Huan was still calm and said, "Okay, then come to my tent and discuss the specific route of the army!"
"Let's go!" Military Kill Ripper did not notice anything strange.
As soon as he entered Wandering Huan's tent, he was immediately taken down by Wandering Huan and killed in a flurry of sabers.
As the saying went, it was better for me to die than for you.
Military Kill Ripper, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too arrogant!
Military Kill Ripper, in such a comedic way, became a completely abandoned pawn.
After killing Military Kill Ripper, Wandering Huan hid the news of his death while sending people to contact the Third Division and expressed his willingness to lead the troops to surrender.
When E Lai received the news, he immediately gathered his generals for a discussion.
"There's something fishy about this!" Lei Jingtian was a natural conspiracy theorist.
"Who cares if it's a conspiracy or not. In my opinion, we should take them down first!" Zhang Daniu said, which was rare for him. He continued, "Let the general and Marquis handle the rest."
"Well said, let's take them down first!" E Lai nodded in agreement.
Just like that, the matter was settled.
On the morning of February 16th, Wandering Huan led the Eastern Army and officially surrendered to the Third Division.
After the Eastern Army surrendered, the Second Division arrived.
Seeing this, Luo Shixin was also dumbfounded. He had expected that there would be a tough battle ahead.
As for the First Division, they had just left Shanhai City …
The battle of Lian Zhou ended in such a dramatic manner.
After that, with Ouyang Shuo's approval, Wandering Huan and his generals were all released.
Thus, the battle of Lian Zhou officially ended!
In this battle, the Yan Huang Alliance had suffered a double loss. Not only that, but because of the subsequent series of schemes and betrayals, cracks had already appeared within the Yan Huang Alliance.
Military Kill Ripper and Di Chen had completely fallen out. With Wandering Huan, they had become mortal enemies.
Lord Chunshen and Xiong Ba had also begun to drift apart. In order to protect Wandering Huan, Xiong Ba had once again gone against Military Kill Ripper.
All in all, it was a mess.
Only Di Chen's strength had not been greatly affected, and he had successfully won over a powerful ally in Battle Wolves.
Using this opportunity, Di Chen had once again established his position as the leader of the Yan Huang Alliance.
A matured Di Chen was indeed terrifying. (To be continued.)
