Chapter 418 The downpour and the capture of Lang Son(1/2)

With the order of Prince Annan, the troops arranged in Lang Son began to diverge and were transferred to the junction of Annan and Dali.

At this time, Dali won consecutive victories and had conquered the three cities in a row, and at this time the Dali Expeditionary Army Central Army was in the tent.

Li Yuan was looking at the report in his hand. He was the general who went to Annan this time and commanded a 150,000 army to fight south.

"Hmm? Are you talking about Annan, have you transferred the troops arranged in Lang Son to our side?" Li Yuan said

"Yes, General, because Wei State burned Liangshan, the fire could not be extinguished for less than a month, so Annan transferred the army to resist us." The deputy general said.

"This Yuan Wenshu is so cruel. He actually burned Liangshan. Has Annan transferred all his troops back? Can you tell me how many soldiers they have transferred back?" Li Yuan said

"General, according to our spies' reward, Annan has arranged 200,000 troops in Lang Son in order to prevent Wei."

"The soldiers who have been transferred to our side are at least 100,000 now, and according to their route, they will be able to arrive here in about five days." said the deputy general.

"Haha, I thought that with the Wei Kingdom in front, we would not be under great pressure, but I didn't expect that Yuan Wenshu's fire would push us to the front. This is really impermanent." Li Yuan said

"General, see how we should do the next step? According to time estimates, we can win at most two more cities before they arrive." The deputy general said

"No, don't take it, we're waiting for them here. If we fight further, the city walls will be small, which is not conducive to our defense."

"So we are waiting for them here now, and we will talk about it when they arrive." Li Yuan said

"General, are we going to prepare for a decisive battle? Do you think I want it?" said the deputy general.

"No, we are not in a hurry. The one we should be in a hurry now. Let's just drag it here. Once this fire is extinguished, there is no need to fight this battle." Li Yuan said

"Ah, the general is wise and his subordinates are dull." said the deputy general.

"Okay, stop flattering, go and tell the soldiers to prepare. After they arrive, they will definitely attack once, so let the soldiers be careful of this." Li Yuan said

"It's a general, so let's do it now." After saying that, the deputy general withdrew from the central army account and arranged defense matters.

For a moment, only Li Yuan was left in the central army tent and muttered to himself, "Yuan Wenshu, Yuan Wenshu, this is really impermanent. I didn't expect that there would be one day to cooperate with you."

Five days passed in a flash, Annan's army arrived and confronted Dali's army.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense and the war was about to break out. Li Yuan guessed correctly that Annan's army had only been repaired for a day.

He launched a fierce attack on Dali, and Dali was prepared for it, so he easily dealt with it.

Time passed day by day, and as time went by, some cars in Annan could no longer hold on.

At this time, in the tent of the Central Army of Annan Camp, General Ruan Yong frowned, looking at the sand table in front of him, and there were a few people next to him, with the same expression.

"Tell me, what should we do in the current situation? We have been attacking for several days, but we have not achieved any results at all. Instead, we have lost our troops and generals." Ruan Yong said

"General, we can't continue to fight like this anymore. We came from Lang San and marched all the way."

"After arriving, we only had a day to repair and started attacking. Now our soldiers can no longer hold on." said the deputy general.

"I don't know yet? But what can I do? I want the soldiers to rest, but in the current situation, it does not allow me to do this."

"Don't forget that there is something more difficult to deal with in Lang San? If we can't even get through the present moment now."

"Why can we talk about being able to defend Lang San? That's much harder than Dali in front of us." Ruan Yong said

"But General, Dali is obviously going to defend the enemy. They are the same force as us. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to advance in a short while." The deputy general said.

"I don't know yet? But the situation is like this now, what can I do?" Ruan Yong said

Then Ruan Yong ordered a day off and then another day to attack the city, and the two sides stopped fighting for a day.

At noon that day, the deputy general entered the central army tent alone. When Ruan Yong saw him, he spoke, "But what's wrong?"

"General, my subordinates do have something to look for you. General, let's surrender." said the deputy general.

"What? Shut up! Do you know what you are talking about? Do you believe it or not, I will kill you now!" Ruan Yong said

"General, my life is from the Ruan family. If you want to take it at any time, General, we really can't fight again."

"If we continue to fight, our Ruan family will not be able to gain a foothold in China. This time, the 200,000 troops are almost all the young and strong in our country."

"If we all die here this time, our Ruan family will be infatuated for thousands of years. General, we really can't fight anymore." The deputy general knelt down and begged.

"You, go out for me, remember, I have never seen you today." Ruan Yong said

When the deputy general heard this, he knew that his general was moved, so he stopped persuading him, but got up and left the central army tent.

At this time, Ruan Yong's face in the central army tent was indeed gloomy and clear. He knew very well that what the deputy general said just now was true.

It is impossible to win this battle. Even if I barely fought against Dali this time, what should I do with Wei?

However, the Ruan family and the Li family are family friends. If they surrender like this, it would be difficult to preserve their family if they just talk about it.

So he had to bite the bullet and fight, even though he knew he would definitely lose, he could only hold on.

The war began again, and Annan's siege began again. At this time, Li Yuan sat firmly in the central army's tent, without any anxiety.

"Hahaha, Ruan Yong, Ruan Yong, you are a good wife this time, it's hard to cook without rice. You will definitely lose. I will depend on what you do!" Li Yuan laughed and said with a loud laugh.

"The General is really good at predicting things. You guessed it right. Annan really attacked fiercely as soon as he arrived. Even if he suffered heavy casualties, he had no intention of stopping." The deputy general said.

"Hmph, it's not that he doesn't want to stop this time, but that he can't stop. Once he stops, he will fall into a deadlock. Then Wei State will take down Lang San. At that time, he will be powerless to turn things around." Li Yuan said

The siege lasted for another five days. At this time, both Annan and Dali were a little tired. After all, they had been fighting for so many days in a row.

Even if Dali has the advantage, it feels exhausted, and this is even more so in Annan.

But at this time, neither side had any extra actions, it was a simple war of attrition, and what it consumed was the lives of the soldiers on both sides.

Time just passed day by day, and five days passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, it had reached the critical point for both sides. Ruan Yong even went to the front line to boost morale.

But there were unexpected storms and clouds, it was raining, and it was pouring rain.

At this time, in Anding Camp, looking at the heavy rain, Li Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, God really helps me, God helps me, Ruan Yong, Ruan Yong, I see what you do now!"

"Go and tell the soldiers to hold on. It's raining and our reinforcements are coming soon. We will win this battle."

"It's the general, my subordinates will tell my brothers now." said the deputy general.

After saying that, the deputy general braved the heavy rain and left the military tent, and sent someone to spread the army. This is a good news.

For a moment, cheers of joy broke out in the entire military camps in Dali, while on the other side, Ruan Yong's face was extremely ugly at this time.

At this time, the atmosphere in the central army tent was extremely depressing, and no one spoke because they knew that their general was in a bad mood and did not dare to get into trouble.

"Tell me, what should we do now? This heavy rain can't stop for a while."

"In other words, what should we do with Lang San? Should we give up here and rush back to Lang San to resist the Wei army?" Ruan Yong said

"General, I think we should retreat. We should go to Langshan. If Langshan loses, then Shenglong City will not be able to be protected." The deputy general said.

"I know only a little bit, but if we evacuate here at the moment, Dali will definitely drive in. At that time, we will still face the situation of being attacked from both sides."

"And there is another point, can Lang Son's 50,000 troops last until the day we return to the rescue?" said Ruan Yong.

"General, my subordinates think that we might as well go back to defend Shenglong City directly." Someone suggested

"Okay, you all go out. I will think about it carefully. It is of great importance. I will think about it carefully." Ruan Yong said

After hearing this, the others retreated, but the deputy general wanted to say something, but Ruan Yong stopped him with his eyes.

Seeing that everyone else had gone out, Ruan Yong could no longer hold on and fell directly on the chair. He knew very well.

This time I lost, or Annan lost, and I lost completely, and I was powerless to make the world come true.

This heavy rain completely defeated his beliefs. God is helping them, so what can he do?

In this way, Ruan Yong ordered the withdrawal of his troops, but he did not intend to go to Lang San, but planned to return to Shenglong City.

After all, I have been fighting for many days, and I am already in a state of exhaustion and have no power to fight again. In addition, I have suffered heavy losses for several days of attack.

The most important thing is that it is not certain whether Lang Son’s 50,000 troops can survive until he leads reinforcements to arrive.

So he gave up the 50,000 troops in Lang Son in this way. It was not that he didn't want to save him, but that he had no chance to save him.

At this time, Yuan Wenshu looked at the heavy rain outside, and Yuan Wenshu knew that the opportunity had come, so he hurriedly asked someone to find Yang Xin.

As soon as Yang Xin entered the central army tent, he said, "Marty, our opportunity is here."

"Haha, why? Are you anxious? Not only are you anxious, but I am also anxious. After so many days, it's time to start."

"Let the brothers prepare, and when the rain stops, we will take action. Maybe we don't need to do it at all, and they will be in chaos." Yuan Wenshu said.

"Yes, because of the fire, most of the heavy troops arranged by Lang Son have been transferred away."

"Now that the heavy rain comes, they will definitely not be able to come back to reinforce. According to their subordinates' estimates, they are the most, and there are only tens of thousands of troops left." Yang Xin said

"Hahaha, OK, go and prepare quickly. We have been here for so long, and it's time for us to go back." Yuan Wenshu said

At this time, in the Dali camp, Li Yuan heard the news that Ruan Yong led his army to withdraw, and said happily: "Hahaha, tell your brothers to beware of sneak attacks. Well, if they really withdraw, they will rest for a day tomorrow."

"General, aren't we going to pursue him?" asked the deputy general.

"If you don't chase, why should you chase? We have already suffered enough casualties. This time, Wei played the main force, but we were the ones who took the initiative."

"Now that they have finally returned, how can we stop it?" Tell the soldiers to guard the city wall and not pursue it. Let them go with confidence and boldness." Li Yuan said

"The general is wise, let me tell the soldiers now." After saying that, the deputy general went out to make arrangements, while Li Yuan sat down with a smile on his face.

Time flies, one day has passed, and Yang Xin has already led the army to set off. Yuan Wenshu is a little worried in the central army tent.

After all, Langshan is in a dangerous terrain. Although most of Annan's troops have been withdrawn, the remaining tens of thousands of people are destined to be difficult to crack.
