August 22nd, Yun An County.
The cloudy sky that lasted for several days finally cleared up. The sky was blue and cloudless.
Outside of Yun An County, the three armies were ready to depart.
Yesterday afternoon, [Southern Alliance] had temporarily transferred 60,000 reinforcements, and had already arrived at Cloud An County. Immediately, 280,000 soldiers gathered in the previously unremarkable Cloudy Peace County.
The entire Cloudy Peace County instantly turned into a huge military camp.
Other than the soldiers, there were also the commoners in charge of logistics. Apart from them, there was no one else. Whether it was the Black Snake Guard or the Military Intelligence Division, they were unable to infiltrate Cloud An County.
The members of the [Southern Alliance] stood on top of the city walls, watching the army that was about to set off, all of them were in high spirits.
There was a one-day truce yesterday, but there was no movement from the three cities on the other side. This also meant that Shanhai City's reinforcements would not arrive.
Victory was right in front of them.
Even the reputation of the Killing God could not stop the alliance's determination to win.
The only thing that was out of place was probably last night, when the Lord of Wulong County, the Chili Strip Prince, took advantage of the darkness to abandon his troops and disappear into the wilderness.
After defeating Qu Yi's army, Ouyang Shuo didn't go too far. He authorized Du Sijing to send a letter to Chili Strip Gongzi, asking him to find an opportunity to leave the allied camp.
Fortunately, Sir Spicy Strip was not eye-catching among the allied forces. No one paid attention to his disappearance.
In the eyes of the allies, there was only the impending war.
Last night, Di Qing had already set up his tent and drawn up a battle plan.
The two hundred and eighty thousand allied troops were divided into two groups, with eighty thousand troops each to monitor Yaogu District and Genglou District. The remaining 120,000 soldiers swarmed out and headed straight for the headquarters of Shanhai City's army, Grey County.
All the siege weapons brought by the allies were also gathered in the center.
Di Qing wanted to take down Azure County in one fell swoop with the momentum of a thunderbolt, not giving his enemies any chance.
After a simple oath, the three armies set off at the same time.
Di Qing, the commander-in-chief of the army, personally led the central army and resolutely advanced towards Cangcheng County.
By noon, the army had arrived at the outskirts of Cang County. Right here, the temporary camp that the Allies had built the day before yesterday was still intact. Di Qing ordered the army to rest and reorganize at the campsite. In the afternoon, they would officially launch an assault on Grey County.
…
Atop the city walls of Blue County, Bai Qi stood at his familiar position and gazed into the distance.
The army on the other side was vast and mighty. They didn't hide their tracks at all, and their aura was like a rainbow.
Distant water could not quench present thirst.
Yesterday's victory in Wulong County could not immediately save Cang County from its dire situation. Bai Qi had already made his preparations to give up on Cang County. It was not his style to fight a war despite knowing that it was impossible.
Defeat was defeat.
However, before retreating, Bai Qi wanted to teach his opponent a lesson.
…
The attack in the afternoon was unusually smooth, just as Di Qing had expected.
Although the army stationed in Cang County put up a strong resistance, they were outnumbered. Under the continuous attacks of the allied forces, they were forced to retreat.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the moat fell.
At five o 'clock in the afternoon, the north wall fell, and at half past five, the north gate fell.
In the end, the army of Shanhai City chose to abandon their position and hastily retreated through the southern gate. After the great battle, less than two thousand of the ten thousand City Guard Legions survived.
The designation of the Tianshuang County's City Guard Division would probably become history.
The allied army flooded in from the north gate, completely occupying Cang County.
It was a historic moment.
This was the first time that the army of Shanhai City had been forced to flee in panic.
Di Qing's name was destined to be recorded in history.
With this battle, the name of the [Southern Alliance] would spread across the world.
Upon receiving the news of Cang County's fall, Yun An County was in a state of celebration.
The members of the [Southern Alliance] had already started celebrating. Some had already arranged for the players to be teleported back to their territories, removing the restrictions on the channels and forums, and started to announce the epic victory on the forums.
Even Buddha He, who had always been calm, could not help but sing out loud.
After this battle, Buddha He's reputation in the alliance reached its peak. He truly lived up to his position as the Alliance Leader. Just like Ouyang Shuo's rallying power in the [Shanhai Alliance], Buddha He had the same prestige in the [Southern Alliance].
The members of the [Southern Alliance] were already talking about dividing the spoils of war in the southern part of Zhaoqing County. The dozens of cities were like a huge cake, waiting for them to divide it.
The members who did not send in reinforcements were naturally vexed.
The entire alliance sank into a fanatical atmosphere.
Other than the members of the [Southern Alliance], the various rulers of the northern part of Zhaoqing County were also extremely excited. The victory of this battle meant that their territory was finally protected.
The various rulers were just short of setting off firecrackers to celebrate.
It was fortunate that Chili Gluten Young Master was not in Yun An County, if not, they would be extremely worried.
… …
Cang County.
Di Qing walked into the city with his head held high and chest puffed out under the protection of his generals.
"Commander, should we lead the troops to chase after them?"
A general ran in front of Di Qing with an excited expression and requested to be sent to battle.
"No." Di Qing shook his head, his attitude was firm: "Do not chase after a cornered enemy. The enemy still has a hidden regiment that has yet to reveal themselves. If we continue to chase after them, we will fall into their trap. "
Di Qing was also excited, but he did not let the victory get to his head, and remained calm.
"Commander is wise!"
The general was impressed with Di Qing's judgement, the older the ginger, the spicier.
Di Qing's cautiousness in using troops was not without reason.
Taking over Cang County, breaking the enemy's Three Talents Formation, and dealing a heavy blow to the enemy's morale, Di Qing's strategic objective had been achieved. He did not want to draw legs on a snake, and even more so, did not want to complicate matters.
Now, the initiative of the battle was firmly in the hands of the alliance.
Based on Di Qing's style, he should fight steadily and surely, and not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of.
In truth, there were no ambushes outside of the city. Even under such circumstances, Bai Qi did not mobilize Luo Shixin's regiment.
After a few battles, Bai Qi had some understanding of Di Qing's character. This person was cautious in using troops, and he would not rashly chase after them.
In this comparison, Bai Qi was still more skilled. Divine Generals were called Divine Generals not only because of their combat prowess, but also because they had a deep understanding of the enemy's character and used it correctly.
Bai Qi did not set up an ambush, but within the city. With Bai Qi's character, since he was going to fight, he would make the enemy feel pain. Small fights were not his style.
…
After taking over Cang County, over a hundred thousand troops entered the city.
At night, in the Lord's Mansion of Cang County.
This Lord's Mansion was once the command center of Shanhai City's army, and Bai Qi worked here. Now, the owner of the Lord's Mansion had been changed to the famous general Di Qing.
After settling the troops, Di Qing went to the tent to discuss the battle the next day.
After taking over Cang County, the alliance had two choices. One was to attack Yaogu District in the west, and the other was to attack Genglou District in the east.
On the surface, there were two divisions stationed in Yaogu District, and they had the advantage in terms of military strength. Therefore, some generals suggested to cooperate with the Right Army to take down Genglou District first, and then concentrate all their forces to surround Yaogu District.
However, Di Qing did not see it that way.
"Tomorrow, we should concentrate our forces and annihilate Yaogu District in one fell swoop. The two divisions in Yaogu District are the pillars of the enemy. Once they are defeated, the entire alliance will only have one division left. There's nothing to fear. "
Di Qing's voice was still calm and deep. "On the contrary, if we attack Genglou District first, once the army in Yaogu District hears the news and retreats, or takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack, it will be a hidden danger. "Genglou District is different. With just the strength of a single division, we won't be able to do anything."
"Commander is wise!"
Di Qing nodded and was about to issue a military order.
Suddenly, there was an urgent shout from outside the door.
"Commander, Commander, bad news!"
"Who's making a ruckus outside? Bring him in!"
Di Qing was furious when he heard that. He could not tolerate his subordinates not following the rules.
The guard who shouted was pulled into the meeting hall.
"Speak, what happened? Why are you panicking? What a scandal! "
"Commander, bad news, there's a fire!"
The guard was still in a state of shock and could not speak clearly.
"What fire? Where is the fire? "
Di Qing was benevolent and did not scold the guard too harshly.
"The city is on fire, everywhere is on fire!"
"Clang!"
The teacup in Di Qing's hand instantly fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
God of Slaughter, Bai Qi!
Everything happened too quickly.
It was late at night, and the alliance army was having their meal in the military camp.
While the alliance army had just occupied Cang County and the city was in chaos, Shanhai City's suicide squad, which had been hiding in every corner of the city, appeared one by one and lit the firewood that they had prepared.
Instantly, the flames soared to the sky.
The entire Cang County was engulfed in a sea of fire.
The four city gates were the main areas where the fire spread.
Most of the houses in Cang County were made of wood. The raging fire was like a merciless god of death, turning the entire Cang County into a sea of fire.
The screams of countless living beings lingered in the fire.
Under the protection of the soldiers, Di Qing fled out of the city in a panic.
The alliance army and countless innocent civilians in the city were not as lucky as him.
The fire spread too quickly and too suddenly.
All the main streets and exits were blocked by the fire. There was no way to escape.
Other than that, the thick smoke that accompanied the fire was like a god of death. Countless people suffocated to death in the thick smoke.
"Bai Qi, you lunatic!"
Di Qing cried as he looked at the fire in the city.
In order to kill the alliance army, Bai Qi dragged tens of thousands of civilians in the city down with him.
Butcher!
God of Death!
With such a cruel victory, Bai Qi announced the return of the God of Death.
In the end, less than twenty thousand of the alliance army managed to escape the city. Including the civilians in the city, a total of one hundred and fifty thousand people were buried in the sea of fire in a single night.
The entire Cang County was completely reduced to ashes.
Bai Qi used his cold heart to use the fire to completely turn the situation around.
After this battle, the repercussions were very serious.
From then on, whenever Ouyang Shuo patrolled Zhaoqing County, he would have to take a detour around Cang County. He was afraid that if he showed himself, he would be skinned alive by the surrounding civilians. (To be continued.)
