At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Sir, look! Those Japanese pirates are transporting food to the front line!"

Xu Wan'er looked at the long line of Japanese pirates on a small plain and let out a cry of surprise.

"Order the whole army to attack immediately and kill all the grain transporting troops without leaving a single one alive!"

A cold light suddenly appeared in Xia Yun's eyes.

This is a life-and-death battle, and there is no possibility of any negotiation or compromise between the two sides.

And since they were raiding the rear this time, it was impossible for them to take any prisoners.

"The general will get the order!"

Qin Tianye and other generals immediately responded to the order and then led their troops to charge towards the Japanese pirates' grain transport team!

Just half an hour passed.

After a bloody fight by Qin Tianye and others, the entire Japanese pirate grain transport team that left Diaoyucheng was wiped out on the spot, leaving no one alive!

During this period, the Japanese pirates who remained in Diaoyucheng also discovered the arrival of the Hangzhou City Defense Coalition Forces.

However, when they wanted to leave the city to rescue the grain transport team, Xia Yun asked Chong Heihu to lead two thousand Hangzhou city defense troops to directly attack Diaoyu City!

The Japanese pirate defenders in Diaoyu City were unable to take care of themselves and could only watch helplessly as all their troops were wiped out!

"Sir, there are about 6,000 to 7,000 Japanese pirates guarding Diaoyucheng. What should we do now?"

While commanding the troops to attack the city, Chong Heihu hurried to Xia Yun.

At this time, Xia Yun was located on a small hill about seven or eight hundred meters away from Diaoyu City.

"From now on, the troops will only surround the city but not attack it. Let go of all the Japanese pirate messenger soldiers who escaped from the city."

In just a few words, Xia Yun issued a new combat order.

It is better to have heavy weapons when attacking a city. Since there are more than six or seven thousand people in Diaoyu City, he naturally would not be foolish enough to choose to act recklessly.

And their current actions are mainly to force the 150,000 Japanese pirates attacking the north city to retreat.

"Yes, my lord!"

After receiving the order, Chong Heihu immediately turned around and left Xia Yun, and conveyed the latest combat order.

"Is there any new news from Jiang Wenzhong?"

At this time, Xia Yun glanced at Xu Wan'er and asked.

"In reply to your Excellency, General Jiang Wenzhong is currently besieging Subei City."

Xu Wan'er responded immediately.

"Immediately send a message to Jiang Wenzhong to cut off all the food supply routes from Subei City to Wangbei City, and implement a battle plan of besieging Subei City without attacking it!"

Xia Yun gave the order again.

In order to avoid further losses, he must make Jiang Wen understand the current situation again.

"Okay, sir. I'll send someone to pass the message right away!"

Xu Wan'er nodded, then turned and left Xia Yun.

“Tianye, you will lead two thousand troops to Anqiu City immediately, cut off all the food transportation routes from Anqiu City to Dongbei City, and implement a siege on Anqiu City without attacking it!”

Xia Yun then gave the order again.

If we are going to make trouble, we have to make it bigger and louder. Only by cutting off all the food transportation channels of the Japanese pirates can we make it possible for the Japanese pirate army to retreat as soon as possible!

"The general will get the order!"

……

While Dian Yun was implementing a series of siege plans, under the Wangbei city, an army of 150,000 Japanese pirates had been attacking for a long time.

"Governor, the situation in Wangbei City is critical. Please leave Wangbei City as soon as possible and lead the troops to retreat!"

On the top of the Wangbei City Tower, Chen Jingzhong looked at the tall and straight Lei Zhenning and gave advice with a worried look on his face.

"I am gone, what will happen to Wangbei City?"

Lei Zhenning snorted coldly, his face full of gloom. The Japanese pirate army had been attacking for more than six hours, and more than 3,000 defenders of Wangbei City had been killed.

Judging from the deployment of troops, there were 70,000 defenders in Wangbei City, and the Japanese pirate army was almost twice the number of defenders in Wangbei City.

Once he withdraws with his large army, Wangbei City will be occupied by the Japanese pirates in less than half a day!

"After you leave, I will defend Wangbei City to the death!"

A look of determination suddenly appeared on Chen Jingzhong's face.

"Confused!"

A scolding came out of Lei Zhenning's mouth immediately.

"Now is not the time for you and me to sacrifice our lives for our country. Wangbei City is the only passage for the Japanese pirates to enter Zhejiang. Once it is lost, you and I will not be able to explain to the court. The people of Zhejiang will be in danger!"

Lei Zhenning spoke every word with a sonorous and powerful voice.

If retreat could solve the problem, he would have left before the 150,000 Japanese pirate army officially attacked.

Behind Wang Beicheng, there are tens of millions of Liming people! He can't leave! He can't leave!

"How long will it take for the 500,000 troops sent by the imperial court to arrive?"

Lei Zhenning suddenly asked.

"In reply to your Excellency, we have already sent an 800-mile express to urge them, but the journey from the capital to Zhejiang is long. Even if 500,000 troops travel day and night, it will take at least three days to arrive."

After being scolded, Chen Jingzhong gave up the idea of ​​persuading Lei Zhenning to retreat, and a worried look appeared on his face again.

Three days left...

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhenning slowly looked towards the direction of the capital, with an extremely complex and profound look in his eyes.

"Does Lord Xia Yun have any news?"

Not long after, Lei Zhenning asked again.

"not yet."

Chen Jingzhong shook his head.

At the moment when Chen Jingzhong opened his mouth to respond, a messenger soldier ran up to Lei Zhenning in a hurry.

"Your Excellency the Governor, there is a letter from my master. Please take a look at it immediately!"

The messenger soldier spoke breathlessly.

At that time, Lei Zhenning recognized that the soldier kneeling in front of him delivering the letter was not him. The military uniform he was wearing was that of the Hangzhou City Defense Army.

Lei Zhenning quickly took the letter and opened it. His face, which was originally full of worry, suddenly showed a hint of relief.

"How did you get into the city?"

After quickly reading the contents of the letter, Lei Zhenning refocused his attention on the soldier who delivered the letter.

"In reply to the Governor, I came here from a detour around the mountain and did not enter through the main gate."

The messenger soldier responded.

"What's your name?"

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Lei Zhenning's eyes. He had noticed that the messenger's clothes were stained with a lot of dirt and scratches.

Apparently, as he said, he came from the mountain by a detour.

"Wang Dayong."

The messenger soldier nodded respectfully.

"Very good! I order you to rush back to Lord Xia and tell him that I will defend Wangbei City to the death! Until his plan is successfully implemented!"

As Lei Zhenning spoke, a resolute expression appeared on his face.

Xia Yun had already explained to him in the letter that the Hangzhou city defense forces were currently besieging Diaoyucheng, Anqiucheng, and Subeicheng.

And cut off all the food transportation channels of the Japanese pirates.

In this way, no matter whether the Japanese pirates intend to rescue these three cities or not, they will inevitably choose to retreat due to food shortages!

By then, Wangbei City will be defended!
