Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 310

When the situation in Yueyang City is getting worse and worse, some people will inevitably have other thoughts in their hearts. After all, a person has only one life, and as long as there is hope of living, no one is willing to lose their life.

According to the current situation of Yueyang City, it will be a matter of time before Yueyang City falls. Once Yueyang City falls, the chances of these Great Qin Army officers and soldiers staying behind in Yueyang City will be too small to survive.

The army of the Ice Lion Kingdom has already paid a heavy price in Yueyang City. After completely capturing Yueyang City, with the temperament and cruelty of the Ice Lion Kingdom army, they will definitely not let it go. Even if the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army in Yueyang City voluntarily surrender, It is also difficult to survive.

Vice Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling, No. 16 Army Commander He Minghuan, and Fifth Army Commander Zhang Hanjie all had the idea of ​​leaving Yueyang City at this time. Before Su Yi came over, the three of them had already discussed the matter of breaking out for a long time.

Although it was obvious that the only way to survive was to break through, all three believed that even if all the Great Qin troops in Yueyang City were gathered, the possibility of successfully breaking through was very small.

The remaining Great Qin Army troops in Yueyang City are all pure infantry. When they break out of the siege, they will definitely be intercepted by the armored troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom. If the infantry confronts the armored troops, the result can be imagined.

In addition to leading troops to break through, Zhao Zeling, He Minghuan, Zhang Hanjie and the others still have a way to survive, which is to abandon the troops in Yueyang City. The three of them and the high-level officers of the various troops in Yueyang City escaped from the already dead Yueyang City by plane. .

At present, a military airport in the XC area of ​​Yueyang City is still controlled by the Daqin Army. Although this military airport was bombed by the Ice Lion Air Force many times before the independent division entered Yueyang City, all The buildings were blown into ruins, and even the runway was bombed with potholes, but the three military transport planes hidden in the woods near the airport were lucky to escape the bombing of the Ice Lion Air Force.

These three military transport planes were imported by the Daqin Air Force from the Blood Wolf Country. They belong to the same model. If they only carry people, each military transport plane can transport about 30 people at a time, and this military transport plane has no requirements for the airstrip. It is high, as long as the airstrip of the XC military airport is simply repaired, the three military transport planes can take off completely.

Not many people know about these three military transport planes. Even Su Yi doesn't know that there are three intact military transport planes in Yueyang City.

However, the three military transport planes can only allow a few people to leave. At this time, in addition to the independent division under Su Yi, there are 10,000+ officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Army and more than 170 million civilians in Yueyang City. If they escaped on three military transport planes, then Yueyang City would immediately fall into chaos, so Zhao Zeling, He Minghuan, and Zhang Hanjie felt that at least one person who could calm down the situation had to be left behind to take over the post of commander in chief of the defense battle of Yueyang City .

When Su Yi expressed his willingness to lead the Independent Division to stay in Yueyang City, Zhao Zeling, He Minghuan, and Zhang Hanjie all breathed a sigh of relief. The Independent Division is currently the most powerful force in Yueyang City. If Su Yi is willing to take over the defense of Yueyang City With the position of commander-in-chief, the three of them can all escape Yueyang City by plane.

Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling hesitated for a while and said to Su Yi: "Mr. Su, to be honest, I feel that with the current strength of our various troops in Yueyang City, it is very difficult to break out of the encirclement. , in fact, there are three military transport planes in Yueyang City. As long as the runway of the XC military airport is repaired, about ninety people can leave by plane. Of course, it is impossible for everyone to leave, and... one must be left People sit in town and lead the soldiers and civilians in Yueyang City to continue to resist."

Zhao Zeling's words made Su Yi stunned for a moment, and then he realized that what the three of them said before to break through was just a test for themselves. It turned out that Zhao Zeling and others still had a way out, and Zhao Zeling and others hoped that they could stay and become that The person who sits in Yueyang City.

Su Yi pondered for a while and said: "I can stay and lead the brothers of the independent division, as well as the brothers of other troops in the city, and continue to stick to Yueyang City, but I hope to reorganize other troops in the city, and give me a plan to reorganize other troops. Fame!"

Zhao Zeling hurriedly said to Su Yi: "I will appoint you as the city defense commander of Yueyang City, and I will also give you the establishment of three temporary armies. At present, our Great Qin Army does not have a temporary army, so the first temporary army will be assigned to you." You will be given the designations of the Temporary Army, the Temporary Second Army, and the Temporary Third Army. All the troops in Yueyang City can be integrated into these three temporary armies, and the previous establishment of these troops will be cancelled. "

At this time, Su Yi turned his head and asked He Minghuan, the commander of the No.16 Army, and Zhang Hanjie, the commander of the Fifth Army: "Commander He, Commander Zhang, if you leave, then your troops will belong to me, Su Yi, and we can get Let me tell you first, if I am lucky enough to be able to lead troops to defend Yueyang City, I will not return the officers and soldiers of the No.16 Army and the Fifth Army to the two of you in the future."

No.16 Army Commander He Minghuan said with a wry smile: "Master Su, please don't bury me and let me leave the surviving brothers of the Sixteenth Army and escape alone. Brothers."

Zhang Hanjie, commander of the Fifth Army, sighed and said, "I didn't want to leave at first, but Minister Liu Fuchen sent a telegram ordering me to evacuate by transport plane. As for the remaining [-] soldiers of the Fifth Army, they will all be handed over to Commander Su. They will no longer be members of the Fifth Army, Minister Liu Fuchen means that after I leave Yueyang City, I will re-establish a Fifth Army."

The Fifth Army belongs to the faction of Liu Fuchen, Minister of National Defense of the Great Qin Dynasty. In fact, not only the Fifth Army will be rebuilt, including the No.16 Army and the other nineteen regular infantry divisions in Yueyang City at this time. When the senior officers of these troops arrive After they are in a safe place, they will reorganize a troop according to the original designation. As for the officers and soldiers of the various troops in Yueyang City, and the leaders of various factions, they don't think it is possible for them to leave Yueyang City alive.

Su Yi nodded and said: "In this case, I, Su Yi, are willing to serve as the city defense commander of Yueyang City. I will lead the temporary first army, temporary second army and temporary third army to defend Yueyang city to the death."

When Su Yi left the basement under the ruins of the Ministry of National Defense Building with the letter of appointment issued by the Deputy Minister of National Defense Zhao Zeling, Zhao Zeling sighed and said: "If it is not for the benefit of the entire Zhao family, I, Zhao Zeling, would rather die in battle." , and will never be a deserter."

He Minghuan, commander of the No.16 Army, hastily persuaded: "Minister, we are facing hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Ice Lion Army with various advantages. It is already a miracle that we can hold on to Yueyang City for more than a month. , even if you evacuate Yueyang City now, you won’t be criticized by others.”

Zhao Zeling smiled wryly and shook his head. In fact, he didn't want to evacuate Yueyang City right now. After all, Yueyang City has not yet reached the end of the mountain, but not long ago, the Great Qin Army suffered another disastrous defeat on another battlefield, and lost it all at once. More than 25 troops, including three armies belonging to the Zhao family faction, were almost devastated, with losses totaling as much as 13.

The reason why the three armies belonging to the Zhao family's faction were almost wiped out was entirely caused by the interference of other factions.

Because Zhao Zeling was trapped in Yueyang City, no one spoke for the troops of the Zhao family faction at the high-level military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense. The pursuing Ice Lion Army was wiped out.

Zhao Zeling didn't expect that he led troops to fight bloody battles in Yueyang City, but the other factions didn't care about it, and instead sold the three armies of the Zhao family faction.

After these three armies were hit hard, there were not many troops that the Zhao family faction could control. If Zhao Zeling did not fight for the right to speak at the high-level military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, the Zhao family would have to be removed from the thirteen major factions.

Zhao Zeling sighed and said to He Minghuan, Commander of the No.16 Army, and Zhang Hanjie, Commander of the Fifth Army: "Hurry up and arrange the affairs of the troops properly, and cooperate with Su Yi's people to take over the troops. The other two armies, the officers above the brigade, are willing to evacuate. All of them can take the transport plane together.”

On the night of January [-]th, Su Yi transferred a lot of officers and soldiers from the original independent division, and with the cooperation of the senior officers of the various units in Yueyang City, he began to take over the remaining officers and soldiers of each unit and various neighborhoods.

Thanks to the prestige of the Independent Division during the one-month defense battle of Yueyang City, the whole process of taking over did not cause too much disturbance. After all, the departure of the troops and generals will definitely make the officers and soldiers below panic. However, the officers and soldiers of the various units learned that Su Yi, the commander of the Independent Division, did not leave Yueyang City, but instead took over the post of city defense commander. a feeling of.

However, because the Ice Lion Army's offensive will not stop, Su Yi has no time to completely complete the reorganization of the three temporary armies. He just reduced the other troops into battalions one after another, and added as many troops as possible to these troops. weapons and ammunition.

In the early morning of January 2538, [-] in the divine calendar, the sky just lit up, and three military transport planes took off from the military airport in the XC area of ​​Yueyang City, and these three planes carried more than [-] senior officers of the Great Qin Army. officer.

Many of the leading generals of the various troops in Yueyang City stayed, and even five division commanders stayed, including Zhou Jianmin, the commander of the temporary 5th division, and the commander of the temporary 6th division, who had been cooperating with Su Yi before. Wu Youliang.

Su Yi entrusted all the remaining senior officers with a heavy responsibility to lead several battalions to guard a certain block in Yueyang City. Even Su Yi admires the senior officers who are willing to stay in Yueyang City at this time. Forget that Su Yi still has the Stargate. Once Yueyang City is really unable to defend, Su Yi can temporarily return to the world of the Tang Empire or the Han Kingdom, but the only way left for these senior officers is to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Just when Zhao Zeling, the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense, was leaving Yueyang City by plane, a high-level military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense was being held in the conference room of a building in Jinzhou City, the capital of Nanjiang Province in the Great Qin State. Except for Zhao Zeling, other members of the Ministry of National Defense The leaders of the twelve factions all participated in this meeting.

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen said in a deep voice: "Vice Minister Zhao Zeling has led more than [-] brigade officers and evacuated Yueyang City on three military transport planes. After about three hours, they should be able to arrive at the airport in Jinzhou City. The troops in Yueyang City were taken over by Su Yi, the former commander of the Independent Division. Under the arrangement of Deputy Minister Zhao Zeling, Su Yi temporarily served as the commander of the city defense of Yueyang City, and Deputy Minister Zhao Zeling gave Su Yi the establishment of three temporary armies. The surviving officers and soldiers of the various units in Yueyang City will be reorganized."

As soon as Liu Fuchen's words fell, Vice Minister Sun Hongwei said: "Su Yi's name is very popular these days, but Su Yi was just a company clerk more than a month ago, but now he suddenly became the city defense commander of Yueyang City. , and has three temporary armies, is it too fast to be promoted? You must know that Su Yi was born in the No.16 army of the Zhao family!"

In addition to Defense Minister Liu Fuchen, Daqin's Ministry of National Defense also has six deputy ministers, Zhao Zeling and Sun Hongwei are just one of them.

Zhou Botao, chief of the general staff, said at this time: "Minister Sun, you must be aware of the situation in Yueyang City, and what we did on the issue of the three armies of the Zhao family was really a little unreasonable. Regarding the matter of Yi, we should follow the wishes of Deputy Minister Zhao Zeling! In addition, it is best to raise Su Yi's military rank by one level, and appointing Su Yi as a lieutenant general is also an encouragement to this titan!"

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen nodded and said: "I agree with the opinion of Chief of Staff Zhou. Our [-] families are in debt to the Zhao family in the matter of the three armies of the Zhao family. I think we will follow the arrangement of Vice Minister Zhao Zeling. Right! The rank of lieutenant general can also be given to Su Yi, if Su Yi dies for the country in Yueyang City, we can also recognize Su Yi as the general of our Great Qin Army."

At this time, Vice Minister Sun Hongwei said again: "Recently, our Great Qin Army has lost a lot of troops in various battlefields, and Yueyang City is also at stake. This war has become more and more unfavorable to our Great Qin State. Are we Should we consider the president's proposal?"

The President of the Great Qin State, Li Qingwei, has always advocated truce negotiations with the Ice Lion Country. Regardless of paying a huge price, he must end the war with the Ice Lion Country as soon as possible.

After Sun Hongwei finished speaking, the meeting room suddenly fell into silence, and the leaders of all factions knew in their hearts that the Great Qin Kingdom was almost unable to hold on.
