Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 110 The number of prisoners of war has increased again

On the morning of June 3012, 11 in the Tang Dynasty, in a bedroom in the imperial palace of Cangyu City, the capital of Cangyu Empire, Shi Jian, Prime Minister of Cangyu Empire, said to Emperor Zhao Zhi and Crown Prince Zhao Kai with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Prince Your Highness, the Ninth Legion, Tenth Legion, No.12 Legion, and No.[-] Legion of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire, who were besieged by the Su Family Army in Fuyang City, Hongshan Province, surrendered to the Su Family Army yesterday."

Emperor Zhao Zhi coughed violently, and then said with a little anger: "The four infantry regiments have a total of 120 million people, but they have only been surrounded by the Su family army for a few days, and they chose to surrender. Could it be that our Cangyu Empire Has the Royal Army become so unbearable now? Kekeke—"

At the end, the emperor Zhao Zhi started to cough more violently, and the crown prince Zhao Kai hurriedly said: "Father, calm down, it is because the strength shown by the Su family army is too strong, even the Sharad Empire has suffered a big loss. In Dingxin City in South Hebei Province and Anzhou City in South Lu Province, five infantry regiments of the Sharad Empire were also surrounded by the Su Family Army."

Emperor Zhao Zhi slowed down, then sighed and said: "But the army of the Sharad Empire is still fighting, but our Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire is surrendering to the Su Family Army in an organized way. By the way, in Dingxin City and An Zhoucheng, what happened to the four infantry regiments that were also besieged by our Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire?"

Prime Minister Shi Jian hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, those four infantry regiments are still fighting. With the army of the Sharad Empire fighting side by side, those four infantry regiments will not surrender easily."

Emperor Zhao Zhi suddenly smiled wryly, "I never imagined that our majestic number one country in the Eastern Continent would have to rely on the army of the Sharad Empire to resist foreign enemies. What a great irony!"

On the evening of June 12th, in a basement in Anzhou City, Lunan Province, the Cangyu Empire, Kornie, the head of the No.[-] Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army of the Sharad Empire, slammed his fist hard on the On the table, he said angrily to the other two regiment leaders of the Royal Army of the Sharad Empire: "We should immediately take over the command of the two infantry regiments of the Cangyu Empire. Today, the two infantry regiments of the Cangyu Empire, combined There were tens of thousands of people who voluntarily surrendered to the Su family army, causing us to almost lose a quarter of the east side of Anzhou city."

This basement is currently the temporary headquarters of the Eighth Infantry Regiment, No.12 Infantry Regiment and No.20 Fifth Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army of Sharad Empire.

Lazaric, head of the Eighth Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army of the Sharad Empire, said with a calm face: "Marquis Cornell, there is no need for you to be so angry. If the army of the Blue Feather Empire hadn't been so miserable, our Sharad Empire would not have So easily conquered the most populous country in the world."

At this time, Maesim, the head of the No.20 Fifth Infantry Legion, frowned and said: "Now the two infantry legions of the Cangyu Empire have been transferred to positions outside the city. If they continue to surrender on such a large scale, maybe It won't be long before the Su family's army has reached the urban area."

Lazarik, the regiment commander of the Eighth Infantry Regiment, smiled, and said indifferently: "I hope that the two infantry regiments of the Cangyu Empire will all surrender to the Su Family Army, so that no one will cause trouble for us. The battle plan formulated, the street fighting in the urban area, is the real battlefield between our three infantry regiments and the Su family army, the Su family army has an absolute advantage in artillery, fighting with the Su family army outside the city, our three infantry regiments will suffer a lot."

Kornie, the head of the No.12 Infantry Legion, said with some hesitation: "Marquis Lazaric, after all, the two infantry legions of the Cangyu Empire still have several 10 people. Isn't it a little bit to abandon them like this?" What a pity? We can completely take over their command and let them be used as cannon fodder."

Lazaric, the head of the Eighth Infantry Corps, shook his head and said: "The army of the Cangyu Empire will only hinder us. If we keep them, I am afraid that we will have three infantrymen in the street fighting in the city." The legion brings more trouble, and the more than 80 civilians of the Cangyu Empire in Anzhou City are the only bargaining chips for our three infantry legions to resist the heavy artillery of the Su family army."

While the three commanders of the Royal Army of the Sharad Empire in Anzhou were discussing matters, Sun Yongyan, the commander of the Eighth Army of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire, and Chang Jingchun, the commander of the No. 13 Army of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire, also gathered together. together.

Chang Jingchun smiled wryly and said: "Today, at least 3 of my Thirteenth Army have to surrender to Su's Army. Now the entire Thirteenth Army has only about 18 troops left."

Sun Yongyan sighed and said: "The news that the Ninth Army, the Tenth Army, the No.11 Army, and the No.12 Army have all surrendered to the Su Family Army has come. In addition, Lazarik who commanded the three infantry regiments of the Sharad Empire, and The two infantry regiments of our Cangyu Empire were transferred outside the city to serve as cannon fodder, which made the officers and soldiers below unwilling to continue fighting."

Chang Jingchun pondered for a while and said: "Brother Yongyan, the combat power displayed by the Su family army is really shocking, not to mention that the Su family army has a huge fleet capable of overwhelming the Sharad navy. To change the dynasty, why not take advantage of the fact that the remaining troops of our two infantry regiments are outside Anzhou City, and we are also similar to Cui Shijie, Li Jinsong, Sheng Haoming and Chen Jiyuan?"

Sun Yongyan sighed again, "Brother Jingchun, I actually have this plan. It's not that we don't want to be loyal to the royal family, it's because the troops have lost their hearts."

On the afternoon of June 13, outside the city of Anzhou, the remnants of the Cangyu Imperial Army's Eighth Legion and the No.[-] Legion, led by the two regiment commanders, chose to surrender unconditionally to the Su Family Army.

The three infantry regiments of the Royal Army of the Sharad Empire, after discovering that the remaining troops of the two infantry regiments of the Cangyu Empire surrendered to the Su family army, quickly abandoned all positions outside the city and retreated to the urban area of ​​Anzhou City.

The two army commanders of the Sharad Empire who were surrounded by the Su family army in Dingxin City, Jinan Province of the Cangyu Empire also adopted the method of Lazarik, the commander of the Eighth Infantry Corps of the Royal Army of the Sharad Empire, in order to avoid the army of the Cangyu Empire Slowing down, the two Cangyu Empire infantry regiments in Dingxin City were all dispatched to positions outside the city.

On the morning of June 14th, the No.15 Legion and No.[-] Legion of the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire outside Dingxin City also surrendered to the Su Family Army.

So far, the Royal Army of the Cangyu Empire already has eight infantry regiments, and the established ones surrendered to the Su Family Army. The number of prisoners of war in the hands of the Su Family Army has increased to 280 million at once.
