Chapter 167: Utter Chaos (Continued with Five Updates, First Update)

  Kōbō's army was in despair, can't we attack now? No.

  Zhao Xi stopped attacking Gao Bang after learning that one by one, the breakout troops had returned.

  Order the whole army to set out and march towards Guangyuan.

  These days, the changes in Annan Camp are obvious to Yu Jing, especially yesterday's nearly half-day influx of wounded soldiers into the camp. Even if they tried to cover it up, Yu Jing could still see through it.

  The two armies' camps are like a village head and a village tail, with our army still on the mountain waist, so they can be seen from anywhere.

  Yu Jing had restrained himself several times from ordering his troops to charge forward.

  The battlefield is originally a place where you come and go to play tricks, who knows if Annan's side is playing with flowers or waiting for our side to take the bait?

  Anyway, everyone says so, Yu Jing also gave up and just looked on like this.

  The main reason is also the remnant of the Guards' teachings, and the Western army leaders are also opposed. They all said that when the commander-in-chief left, he had instructions to wait for news.

  The news arrived just in time; during the siege of Gaobang, Zhao Xi had already sent someone back to Guangyuan over mountains and ridges.

  "Your Highness has given an order, commanding the Guangyuan troops to be on standby at all times, ready to strike at any moment!"

  "Your Excellency also said that the king's teacher should launch a long-range attack, and if there is a situation where Annan is defeated, I hope the scholar can persuade the Nong people to pursue the Annan army."

  "His Highness also said that not only the spoils of war would belong to him, but when they broke into Gaobang City, he would allow you to enter the city first and permit you to obtain three-tenths of the spoils."

  This... Yu Jing can be certain of one thing: The Crown Prince and Di Qing are having a free rein in Annan. As for the rest...

  Are you going to kill Annan? Are you going to attack Gaobang? There's nothing more stabilizing for the future of Guangnan than this.

  You people are the same as Annan and Guo Chao, kindness and resentment will decide which side you will lean towards in the future.

  It doesn't matter who offended you, what matters is who you offended.

  In terms of both population and military strength, the people of Guangyuan Prefecture and Temotuo have always been at a disadvantage.

  You have brought calamity to Guangnan, now the Anfu government is implementing the Kingly Way... You again brought calamity to northern Annan, and Annan may not necessarily have such a capacity for tolerance.

  Thinking of this, Yu Jing also blamed the former officials of Guangnan West Road and Chen Gong. Good gun head, solid screen, they were pushed to Annan side.

  After all, Annan had a grudge against Nong Zhigao for killing his father, and instead let Annan borrow this rotten knife.

  Now, according to the Crown Prince's plan, the Guangnan Pacification Commissioner's Mansion, with just a little bit of kindness, is like adding defensive strength on the border.

  Moreover, manganese mining is also prepared to arrange a national livelihood for you people.

  At this time, the Nung people were forced to board the ship. After the war was over, the Nung people would voluntarily get on the ship. Good! Very good!

  Now all we need is for the vanguard of our army to penetrate deep into enemy territory and issue the order to launch a general offensive.

  The situation on the other side of An Nan, the soldiers stationed on the mountain waist have been circulating for many days, everyone knows that it is very chaotic over there, but the superior has not given orders... Now they are finally preparing for battle.

  "It's still necessary to take this step in the end!"

  They were approaching Annan's camp in Guangyuan, and Zhao Xi felt a little sentimental.

  "Your Highness, this is inevitable. Killing enemies and occupying territories must rely on the bravery of soldiers in close combat."

  It's already not easy. Di Qing couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the Crown Prince for this move in Annan.

  His Highness the Crown Prince has never made killing enemies his primary goal, yet the results he achieves are more effective than directly killing them.

  Di Qing couldn't understand Zhao Xi's mind. He would never know what kind of demands Zhao Xi had for himself in his heart.

  Leading the team out, deep into enemy territory, Zhao Xi thought about bringing them back. Saying no abandonment or giving up might be a bit pretentious, after all, social class is the current state of society.

  But with this use of Annan guerrilla tactics, all the generals and soldiers must have gained inspiration. In other words, in any future battles, these tens of thousands of soldiers will unconsciously expand their thinking.

  These are all seeds!

  Whether willing or not, the battle must be fought.

  It was estimated that Yu Jing had received the information, and on the second day of receiving the information, at the hour of Yin, the royal army in An Nan launched a surprise attack on the An Nan camp.

  With two loud cannon shots, the vanguard of 50,000-60,000 soldiers led by Wang, began to attack the Annan army from both sides.

  The Annan army was prepared, had always been prepared, and had been waiting since the day Lang Song was attacked. They waited until the entire army was on the verge of collapse before launching a pincer attack.

  The camp was set up very firmly and defended very tightly, but they did not expect to suffer such an attack...

  Although Di Qing looked very sluggish, Zhao Xi still let the soldiers execute long-range attacks as usual.

  Is there a way to avoid sacrificing soldiers? Why must we use human lives as fillers?

  So, two tiger squatting cannons sounded, and others looked... Zhao Xi arranged a defensive formation, never thinking of charging.

  At this time, it was still a matter of the Guangyuan prefecture's military officers, and even more so, it was your people's affair. If you want to gain benefits, what can be obtained without paying?

  You people don't attack, how can you make Annan army resent you?

  Yu Jing also understood this point. The soldiers of the Wang Shi army were responsible for launching fireballs, row upon row of bed crossbows opened, and round after round of fireballs were launched...

  At this time, An Nan's army was like a bird, and the explosion of the gunpowder was like the sound of a bowstring.

  It was basically doomed from the start.

  The solidity of the camp and the tightness of the defense line cannot withstand the collapse of the military's morale.

  Kobayakawa has fallen... That's what the Annan army thinks.

  Already three-tenths of our troops have been lost, and this is something that everyone has seen with their own eyes.

  So when the shells burst around them, beside them and elsewhere, and the cries of the wounded came through, their morale was completely gone.

  It was clear that they could distinguish and attack in the direction of their own homes with a lighter intensity... So, the whole camp dispersed.

  Can't control the generals at all, and don't listen to orders either. The only thing on their mind is those familiar people who were trampled by war horses...

  Maybe if I ran earlier and faster, I could save my life.

  So, taking advantage of the brief lull in the bombardment, I quickly spotted the direction and what was originally the most forward defensive position suddenly became a convenient condition for escape.

  It's done! As long as one person escapes, a consensus will quickly form that everyone must escape.

  After all, the loss is almost thirty percent!

  Without Yu Jing's urging, when the leaders of the Nong people saw the chaos in An Nan's camp, they didn't even have time to give orders, and the Nong people rushed out... The spoils of war are their own!

  No matter whether it was the Qing dynasty or Annan, the equipment of soldiers was not comparable to that of the Zhuang people's bamboo armor and crossbow.

  At this time, catching an An Nan soldier means having a set of armor... The Nong people are very dedicated, and such terrain is indeed suitable for them.

  So the whole scene was completely chaotic.

  The ambush formation Zhao Xi had originally set up was now completely useless.

  The fleeing Annamese soldiers ran to the front of the killing line and directly became a mixed situation with three parties.

  One runs, one chases, one blocks, and further back there are even new recruits who also want to chase and kill.

  It's all messed up, everything is messed up.
