Night fell again. The battle on Xiandai River did not stop. The artillery shells from Anyang kept falling from time to time, causing unrest on the south bank.
Jin State General Li Lisong was furious. He launched three river crossing campaigns today, but all of them failed halfway.
The first time, the soldiers of Nanyang County and Dongyuan County were very "smart". As soon as the machine guns on the opposite side opened fire, these bastards dived into the water. The Jin army, which had no experience at all, was madly slaughtered more than 20,000 people, and the Xiandai River was blocked! In order to "take special care" of the Jin army, Anyang even moved in "machine guns". The 30mm machine gun was a killing machine.
After retreating, Li Lisong found Kong Donglai - why didn't you tell Anyang that there were such horrible weapons!
Kong Donglai felt "wronged": Marshal, you came here with such confidence, but you didn't prepare anything? I thought you had prepared something like the "Ten Thousand Swords Formation". And Anyang had used machine guns before, so why didn't you pay attention
After hearing this, Li Lisong wanted to tear Kong Donglai to pieces on the spot!
The second time, Li Lisong used a tactic of combining the real and the fake to confuse the judgment of Anyang Marshal Yan Zhengqing; then Li Lisong led the army to suddenly attack from the weak point.
But in this attack, Li Lisong ordered the soldiers from Nanyang County and Dongyuan County to take the lead. As a result... As a result... As a result, Li Lisong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. After these soldiers from Nanyang County and Dongyuan County reached the shore (the south bank), they refused to move forward. When the two sides were in a stalemate, Anyang dispatched aircraft, artillery, and machine guns to start the siege.
As a result, the advantage and opportunity that Li Lisong had worked so hard to gain were wasted.
For the third time, Li Lisong had to use his trump card and once again organized 20,000 elite soldiers (only about 8,000 were in the foundation-building stage) to activate the more powerful Ten Thousand Swords Formation. Anyang and Yan Zhengqing were caught off guard, and a two-kilometer-long open space was directly cleared on the north bank. Tens of thousands of Anyang soldiers were killed or wounded, and the situation was unprecedentedly critical.
Of course, this is an opportunity for the Jin army.
However, Yan Zhengqing was ruthless enough to personally lead 10,000 foundation-building masters across the river to fight. The 20,000 weak soldiers of the Jin State were slaughtered crazily by Yan Zhengqing.
The soldiers from Nanyang County and Dongyuan County just watched from the side, seeing Yan Zhengqing killing people ruthlessly, but they refused to stop him!
One can imagine how angry Li Lisong, the general of Jin State, was!
Kong Donglai sneered.
Unfortunately, Li Lisong was only a commander, while Kong Donglai, the governor of Nanyang County, and Yuan Yong, the current head of Dongyuan County, were both old fox-level politicians. These two old foxes played a trick on Li Lisong! Li Lisong had military talent, but he was ultimately no match for the scheming of the two old foxes - this was a natural defect of military generals; civil officials were born to play tricks.
Looking back, the governor of Nanyang County, Kong Donglai, was not really asking for help, but was trying to drag Jin into the battlefield so that everyone could be shot at together! Only by letting Anyang and Jin collide could Nanyang County save itself.
There are several layers to this:
The first level: Let Jin and Anyang fight against each other, so that the two sides will form hatred and cooperation will be difficult - this was Kong Donglai's response to the rumors spread by Li Xian earlier.
