Chapter 34: Annihilating Wang Yuan Yi

  If there are still people who have nothing to do among the three masters, then it must be Liu Yuan and Zuo Qiang. Others went to climb Knife Mountain and descend into the Sea of Fire, while the two of them were playing art in the command center.

  Zuo Quan sang a little tune he had learned from the slums of America, while Liu Yuan picked up his pen and drew a picture. In the painting, a man lay in a cluster of flowers, gazing at the clouds in the sky, with an air of unparalleled freedom, accompanied by birdsong, secluded woods, and spring breeze.

  Li Er Niu returned to the command center and looked at them in surprise. He really couldn't think of what gave these two officers such great confidence.

  "Commander, the surprise attack troops from Ganjiang have all been annihilated. The battle ended very quickly and we didn't suffer any losses." Li Er Niu said standing beside Liu Yuan.

  "I knew this long ago, Zhang Lingfu is a capable fighter and he has Wang Yaowu by his side." Liu Yuan gave the painting a title for himself, and also added a few strokes to the unclear lines. Chinese paintings emphasize atmosphere, adding extra lines would make it less beautiful, giving a feeling of "adding feet to a snake". Liu Yuan unconsciously let out two bitter smiles.

  Li Er Niu saw that his superior's mind was not on the matter at hand, and hastily explained, "But Zhang Ling Fu actually killed the prisoners, killing prisoners is one thing, but he also disappeared without a trace. Zhang Ling Fu disappearing without a trace is another thing, you're not focusing on your work here, don't you have any confidence this time?" Li Er Niu said with his head lowered, expressing his discontent.

  Liu Yuan's painting is done, took a look at it with appreciation, and handed it to Li Er Niu. "Give it to you, within twenty years this painting will be worth a fortune, as for me, I'm not minding my own business, after the order is given, it's up to you guys to handle it, I believe you can win this battle, what am I afraid of? Of course, play by your own rules, the worrying times are over, if you really lose, I'll die with you. As for Wang Yuan Yi, I don't even put him in my heart, and Zhang Ling Fu, I don't know if he killed prisoners of war, maybe he died in battle. Alright, go to Song Xi Yun's place, they should be short-handed, don't disturb me and the chief of staff's leisurely life."

  Li Er Niu touched his head, and he also understood a few points from Liu Yuan's words earlier. This is the demeanor of a great general, who can remain calm and composed at this time. Not many people can do it, but Zhang Lingfu killed prisoners, why did the commander say that the prisoners were killed in battle? This is not a good habit, forget it, the war is urgent, don't consider these things for now.

  Li Er Niu left, Zuo Quan finally came out of his own singing voice, as soon as I entered Huangpu, I noticed Zhang Ling Fu this guy, this guy's murderous intent is too heavy, sooner or later he will make a big move.

  "It doesn't matter, the treasured sword can't just kill others, I'll teach him a lesson later. But that little ditty you sang earlier was really mediocre." Liu Yuan criticized Zuo Quan.

  "Cut it out, you sing well, why don't you sing some Chinese songs?" Zuo Quan said, sticking out his middle finger.

  "Hey, you little brat dare to despise me? Back in the day, I was known as the Prince of Love Songs at MIT. Come on, let big brother sing a song for you, take me to your heart."

  Unlike the two, Wang Yuanyi fell into an endless crisis, a chaotic situation was grasped by him in an instant, he led 5,000 people to quickly break through the first line of defense in the local area and continued to advance.

  Moreover, he found that not all of the three armies' troops were crack troops. Some units resisted strongly but had few men and most retreated after a short resistance. As a result, Wang Yuanqi, who was eager to fight, continuously ordered his troops to advance without even receiving a signal from the rear to retreat.

  It wasn't until he reached the third line of defense that he realized he couldn't break through no matter what, there were only three thousand people on the other side, but they were like a copper wall and iron fortress, firmly blocking him outside.

  At this time, Wang Yuan-yi couldn't help but regret that he had rushed in too hastily and hadn't even brought any heavy weapons. At this moment, Wang Yuan-yi thought of occupying the place and waiting for the chief of staff to send troops to respond to himself, and then continue to break through forward, and Niu Xing would be successfully taken down.

  At this time, an officer suddenly came from the rear and hastily said without even saluting, "The commander is in trouble, our rear has been cut off, we can't get out."

  "What's going on? The enemy isn't thoroughly routed and fleeing in disarray, how could they have cut off our line of retreat?" Wang Yuan-yi angrily asked.

  "I don't know what's going on either. The enemy soldiers are fierce, and with just one charge, our brothers lost their position, and our follow-up reinforcements were blocked behind."

  "Alas, how could this be? Wang Yuanyi finally became flustered. He knew he had fallen into the enemy's trap. First, they pretended to be weak in front of him, then lured him in, and now he was truly hooked and surrounded."

  "General, don't worry. Although the enemy is surrounded by us, they only have 10,000 men, while we have 5,000. As long as we continue to attack, we will have a chance of winning. I don't believe that the enemy's 10,000 men can defeat our 5,000, and they also need to divide their forces to deal with our reinforcements." said the staff officer beside Wang Yuan-yi.

  "Right, right, we have a large number of troops too. Order the troops to continue advancing and take down their third line of defense," Wang Yuanyi also quickly calmed down, knowing he had to keep attacking or else the initiative would fall into someone else's hands.

  However, Wang Yuanqi obviously overestimated his wounded soldiers. No matter how they charged, the enemy's position was unmoved, and there was no way to do anything about it. Moreover, troops were closing in on them from all sides.

  They could only form a circular defense and defend in place, because the enemy's firepower was too strong, with automatic fire, artillery, mortars, and numerous snipers, their own men kept falling.

  "Opposite army, listen! You have been surrounded, please surrender immediately. We are all Chinese, we won't do anything to you, but if you continue to resist, don't blame us for being impolite." Song Xi-liang held a loudspeaker and shouted loudly on a high platform, he didn't think that the enemy would really surrender, but at least it would strike the opponent's morale.

  "Damn it, this young officer is really infuriating, who can take him down for me?" Wang Yuanyi shouted loudly, but there was no response from around him. They weren't without skilled marksmen, however, any skilled marksman would be counter-sniped by the opposing side's skilled marksmen after firing a shot or two, so nobody dared to snipe casually anymore.

  "Commander, what should we do?" After persuading to surrender, Song Xilian ordered his troops to launch a stormy attack on Sun Chuanfang's troops. He knew that if he waited for reinforcements to arrive, the three divisions would pay an extremely heavy price. So he launched a desperate and intense attack at all costs, putting immense pressure on the warlord's troops. Many officers came to ask Wang Yuanxi what to do.

  "What's the panic? We have 5,000 men. What can they do to us? Shrink our defense circle, strengthen our defenses, and wait for reinforcements. If we preserve our strength well enough, we can still join forces with the reinforcements to attack them from both sides later. At worst, the reinforcements will be able to rescue us."

  After Wang Yuan's words were finished, the defensive position of his soldiers was constantly compressed, until it was less than twenty mu in a small array. Wang Yuan was also injured, with wounds on his shoulders and waist, and could only do simple bandaging.

  The bullets were also running out, and if the Southern Army launched an attack, he could only lead his troops to fight a bayonet battle. However, at that time, the rumbling sound of cannons rose again.

  Wang Yuanyi forgot about the arc of the sky, he knew that this time it was not good luck, but bad luck had really arrived.
