Yaning believed that he was probably the most useless general in the history of the Macchi Khanate. The 180,000-strong army suddenly entered Lygon City without any troops. Except for a 10,000-person army, the remaining 170,000-strong army It can be said that they came prepared, with well-equipped soldiers and high morale. They were determined to win the city of Kutdan, which was guarded by only three divisions. Although the resistance of the Xijiang people is extremely tenacious, it is all to be expected. Yaning has never regarded Kutdan, where Wenner is in charge, as an easy bone to chew, but this time we are fully prepared and have withdrawn from Kutdam since the last time. Starting from Tedam, preparations have actually been made for this re-occupation. From the inside to the outside, everything that should be arranged and arranged is planned in an orderly manner. Yaning is absolutely confident that Kutdam will be captured within half a month. Once Kutdam is captured, the gate to the peninsula will be open. It will be completely open to Medan, Yada, and even Balia. He can intercept horizontally and cut Li Wufeng's control area here in two.
I saw that the soldiers were full of momentum and high in fighting spirit. Although the battle was fierce, everything was going according to plan. But this urgent order from China drove the excited Yaning from heaven to hell.
"Why withdraw the troops? Don't you know that Kutdan is already in our hands? You are messing with your fate. If you don't tell me the origin of this order clearly, I will falsely convey the king's order and disturb the morale of the army. For the sake of my name, I will hang your head on the camp gate!" Some red eyes stared at the envoy, and Ya Ning gritted his teeth. He held the letter with his left hand and pressed it on his waist with his right hand. On his saber, as long as the other party reveals a slight flaw in his words, he will kill the other party on the spot without hesitation.
"General, please be calm. This is an order jointly signed by the Great Khan and Lord Lei. The envoy is just ordered to deliver the order. How dare he falsely convey the king's order? As for the reason why the Great Khan and Lord Lei jointly signed this order, I'm not very sure, but it should be related to the changes in the war situation in the north." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at all the generals in the tent staring at him fiercely, like a lamb entering a pack of wolves. If you are not careful, it will be torn into pieces, the messenger explained with fear.
"The war situation in the north? What changes have occurred in the war situation in the north? What does it have to do with us?" Yan Ning was shocked in his heart, but Yan Ning did not let go. His gloomy eyes were still wandering around the other party, "I will not accept the order of the foreign king. , please forgive Ya Ning for not accepting it. After the war is over, Yan Ning will naturally give an explanation to the Great Khan and Master Lei!"
"Don't do it, General!" The envoy was shocked. He was not afraid of the other party's harsh words and threats, but what he was most worried about was that the other party refused to accept this order, or delayed the execution of this order, causing irreparable damage. Consequences, "Sir Yaning, before leaving, Master Lei specifically told me to convey to you that you must put the overall interests first and never act out of emotion, which will bring immeasurable losses to the Khanate."
"Humph, Master Jiteba, you also know the temper of Yaning. What happened in the north that made the Great Khan and Lord Lei make such a ridiculous decision? Could it be that Li Wufeng has defeated the Kaman and Pu people? Even if they defeated The Kaman people were defeated, but what about the Puer people? Didn’t the intelligence show that the Puer people had mobilized an army of 200,000 to go south to attack Li Wufeng?" Yaning was not moved by the other party's words. He could not imagine that such a victory could be so easy. When the time comes, we have to retreat by ourselves, so what’s the point of the soldiers fighting desperately in the past few days? What is the purpose of bleeding and dying for it? How can I explain this to my soldiers
Swallowing his saliva, as an official of the diplomatic department, Jiteba naturally knew the impact on the morale of the army if he revealed this information. However, if he did not reveal the inside story, he was afraid that this group of military generals, including Yaning, would They would definitely not accept this order. It was a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. At this time, Jetba ignored the cautious instructions of the then Minister of State.
"General Yaning, the war in the north has undergone drastic changes. Li Wufeng has conquered Fanlin and annihilated the Maili tribe. The Kaman people's rule in Jerok has come to an end, and the Puer army has also fallen into Li Wufeng's hands. The encirclement of the army. According to the intelligence just sent back, Poole's 200,000-strong army has collapsed and is now being divided, surrounded and annihilated by the Western Xinjiang Army. It is estimated that the news will come back within two days. And the barbarians in the north of the Kaman people have also They sent troops to occupy a large area of land in the north of Kaman. Their prime minister Gomez has resigned. Now the Kaman people are asking the Sisi Luo people to mediate and negotiate peace. Li Wufeng will soon be free to deal with the changes in the situation in the south. This change in the situation It has greatly exceeded the original expectations of the Great Khan and Lord Lei, which is the main reason why the Great Khan and Lord Lei decided to suspend the war."
"In addition, according to the information obtained by our intelligence department, there was originally a dispute within the Nanyang Alliance about the issue of jointly sending troops with us. In addition, the dispute between Legon also played a role in fueling the flames. Now the attitude of the Nanyang Alliance towards this matter is The conflict has become public. There are unconfirmed reports that some senior generals in the Nanyang Alliance's army are colluding with the Western Xinjiang side. The two sides are discussing the withdrawal of troops. Once this situation is true, we will be in a situation where we are surrounded by enemies from both sides. , so given that the current situation is no longer suitable for military operations, the Great Khan and Lord Lei will decide to suspend this operation."
Now that he had made a decision, Jetba stopped hesitating and calmly told everything he had learned. Seeing the military generals' first shocked, then sad, and finally angry expressions, Jetba felt quite uncomfortable. The foreign affairs department has always had a negative attitude towards this war. After finally getting a stable environment, which is just the right environment to digest the gains of the past few years, it has started a war at will, and now it is a thankless task. It may lead to revenge from the people of Western Xinjiang, which cannot but be said to be a big mistake.
Yan Ning, who originally looked gloomy, regained his composure after listening to the other party's introduction. He seemed to have accepted the other party's explanation, but the shock and depression in his heart were beyond words. Li Wufeng was able to break through Fanlin in just ten days, annihilate the Maili tribe known as the Kaman Twin Pillars, and annihilate the 200,000 troops of the Puer people in one fell swoop. What a brilliant achievement is this? Naturally, the Nick troops are now trapped in Qinghe. It seems that the Kaman people intend to preserve this remnant army through negotiation. None of this is important to me, but the problem is that judging from the current situation of the Kaman and Puer people, they have lost the power to contain Li Wufeng, and those guys on the Tengger Grassland and the Luzon people are just afraid After hearing this news, he didn't even dare to fart. Li Wufeng, who had freed up his hands, would definitely not sit back and watch the crisis in the south. It was inevitable for a large number of troops to go south. It was indeed time to suspend the war.
Yaning is not a reckless man. Although he is full of longing for the city that is about to fall into his hands, he also knows that even if Kutdan falls into his hands, the people of Xijiang will still take it back with their superior strength. Putting our own side into trouble, after all, with the current situation in Kutdam, if our side wants to stick to it, I am afraid that this place will become a bottomless quagmire, and the army will be dragged into this trap. This is undoubtedly unwise.
"What about Lygon City?" Yaning asked after a long silence.
"We will also withdraw. If the Nanyang Alliance wants it, then we can leave it to them generously and let them quarrel with the Xijiang people. But I guess even if the Nanyang Alliance doesn't know the situation now and accepts it, it will take a few days. After knowing the situation, I'm afraid they can only hand it over to the Xijiang people obediently. Without us, they might not even be able to sleep for a day." He curled his lips with some disdain, Jiteba shrugged and said: "Now that General Yaning understands the situation , I think my mission has been completed. I hope that the general can complete the preparations as soon as possible and evacuate quickly. The defenses of Ronisia and Sanjiang need to be further strengthened. I believe that the Great Khan and Lord Lei have made it clear to the general in their letters, The people of Xijiang will definitely not give up this time, and we cannot take it lightly."
"Hmph, if Li Wufeng wants to come and test whether our defense is strong, I would be very happy to accompany him." He sighed slightly unwillingly, and Yan Ning's face was full of regret. Such a vigorous start ended unexpectedly. With such an ending, this feeling is simply heart-breaking.
The army of Mach Khan under Kutdan City disappeared almost overnight, and the two divisions of the Sixth Army reinforced from Sanjiang had just entered Yada City, so the battle in Kutdan was so quiet. The sound was over. If it weren't for the numerous scars on the city's fortifications and the large amount of abandoned baggage abandoned by the Machikhans, one would almost doubt whether this place had truly experienced an inextricable bloody battle of attack and defense.
Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Wenner walked around the city that had been cleared. The enemy had really retreated. The scouts had confirmed that the enemy was retreating very quickly. The forwards had retreated back to Ronisia, just like the ebbing sea water. , everything returned to calm. Wenner can even imagine that the same situation will definitely happen in Lygon City. Since the Machikhans voluntarily evacuated, let alone the half-hearted Nanyang Alliance. For Western Xinjiang, it may be time to blackmail these renegade guys. The Macihans may not be able to do so for a while, but the Nanyang Alliance, hey, these gangsters are indeed a good opportunity to take advantage of.
