Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

When the soldiers broke into the position, most of Zhang Shengwu's soldiers raised their hands and surrendered, only a few resisted.

The regiment commander was about to run away when he saw enemy soldiers running towards him from a distance as he left the command post.

This made him very embarrassed. If he resisted, the other side had more people and more power. If he ran away, the other side was approaching him. How could he escape? Gritting his teeth, the captain decisively chose to surrender.

Entering the battlefield, seeing surrendered soldiers everywhere, Li Zhongwu ordered: "Seize the weapons from the prisoners and lock them up. Count the spoils and clean up the battlefield."

The battlefield in the north was in full swing, and the battlefield in the south was also in full swing.

Zhang Wei's regiment had less than two thousand soldiers. Although its automatic firepower was sufficient, it was not as good as that of the Second Guard Regiment, so its advance speed was slower than that of the Second Guard Regiment.

This slowness is only compared with the second group. To the enemy, they feel that the enemy's advance speed is too fast.

Before the defenders could react, a group of soldiers approached and opened fire with automatic weapons, taking their lives.

Seeing that the enemy's offensive was so fierce, the regiment commander of the southern position gritted his teeth, took a few trusted men, abandoned his troops and evacuated towards Xing County.

In this battle, the artillery fire first covered the enemy, and then the soldiers charged. The fighting was very short, and most of the enemy surrendered, so the casualties of both regiments were very small.

After leaving a large force to clean up the battlefield, Zhang Wei and Li Zhongwu each sent a force to pursue the fleeing regiment. Zhang Wei sent two companies and Li Zhongwu sent a battalion.

When the battle broke out on the front battlefield, Fang Guoxuan was already prepared. Except for a few soldiers patrolling the streets and maintaining order, most of the soldiers were concentrated in the west city.

Early this morning, Tao Yunong rushed to Xing County, exhausted, and reunited with Fang Jianan. He was now standing next to Fang Jianan.

Originally, he wanted Tao Yunong to come to Xing County to provide him with intelligence on the enemy, but the enemy was too weak and it seemed that there was no urgent need for it at the moment.

Of course, Fang Jian certainly couldn't just say directly that you are useless and should go back first. That would be pure mental disorder.

Seeing Fang Jianan remaining silent, Tao Yunong felt a little uneasy, wondering if Fang Jianan knew that he had accepted money privately.

After a light cough, Fang Jian said seriously, "The Intelligence Department still needs to work harder. The value of the Intelligence Department was not fully demonstrated in this war."

"Of course, the Intelligence Department was established a short time ago, and I can understand that. I originally wanted to upgrade the Intelligence Department to the Intelligence Department after this battle, but you also know that if I rashly promote it without any achievements, many people will definitely not accept it."

When Tao Yunong heard that he was promoted to the Intelligence Department, he was immediately excited, but when he mentioned that he had no achievements, Tao Yunong was embarrassed for a moment.

Then he said, "Don't worry, Commander. I have trained a lot of intelligence personnel in the past three months. I will send them out right away."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Once we have established ourselves in Fenglin, we will need to go east to Sanjiang Province, Jiyang Province, and even further. You should also pay attention to collecting intelligence."

"Moreover, our main force has left Xinyuan County. We must understand the military movements of Changhuan City, Sanjiang Province, and Jiyang Province. Otherwise, if we lose Xinyuan County, we will have no way to retreat."

Tao Yunong immediately assured: "Commander, rest assured. I will report any disturbances in Sanjiang Province and Jiyang Province as soon as possible."

After encouraging Tao Yunong, Fang Jian began to think about the war situation.

Currently, there are four forces in Nanshan Province, namely Ma Jincen, Zhang Guilin, Zhu Yaoxiang and myself.

On the surface, he was the weakest and Ma Jincen was the strongest. But Ma Jincen was also the most dangerous. To Ma Jincen, the remaining three were all his enemies.

Moreover, if I annihilate one of his divisions this time, he will only have four divisions left. Although he still has the advantage in manpower, it is difficult to absolutely crush the remaining three forces.

He was too weak, and the only thing he could do was to join forces with Zhu Yaoxiang and defeat Ma Jincen together.

For the three parties, no matter which party was defeated by Ma Jincen, it would not be a good thing for the other two parties. Of course, whether the other two parties would think about this was not something Fang Ji'an could know.

While Fang Jian was thinking about this, the commander of the central regiment, with more than a thousand troops, had retreated to the gate of Xing County.

Seeing these soldiers fleeing in panic, Fang Guoxuan smiled coldly: "Open the city gate, let some of them in, and then ambush and kill some of them first."

"With soldiers like this, even if we charge out now, we can scare them into defeat." Xie Yuan also smiled lightly.

Having said that, Xie Yuan still went to carry out Fang Guoxuan's orders.

We have gathered more than a thousand people at the city gate, and compared with the retreating troops, we are no longer at a disadvantage. Moreover, we have a lot of automatic firepower, which is even more unmatched by the enemy.

When they fled to the west gate of Xing County, the remaining troops of Zhang Shengwu entered the city without any hesitation, thinking that they would be safe inside the city.

One of them walked into the city gate and said, "Huh, we finally got into the city. This battle was so fierce."

"Who said it wasn't? Our group has lost almost one-third of its troops." Another person also breathed a sigh of relief after entering the city, and immediately echoed.

After entering the city, the soldiers relaxed their vigilance and lazily walked towards the military camp in the city. Someone asked in confusion, "Why does it feel so quiet?"

"Yes, why are there no soldiers guarding the city gate?" Many people have this doubt.

"Da da da……"

“Thump, thump, thump…”

At this moment, countless soldiers rushed out from the streets in front, on the left and on the right, holding machine guns and submachine guns, and fired at the soldiers entering the city.

"Run, there are enemies."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way."

The soldiers behind continued to enter the city and pushed forward, while the soldiers in front tried to retreat under the flying bullets. The two groups of people crowded at the city gate, leaving the soldiers entering the city in the open space under the city gate, unable to move forward or backward, and a large number of them were killed or injured, and the situation was chaotic.

When the troops behind heard the gunshots in the city, some of them stopped while others continued to rush into the city.

The leader of the central team stopped not far from the city gate. He asked in confusion, "What happened? Who is shooting in front?"

Fang Guoxuan, who was on the city wall, saw that some troops outside the city were still entering the city. He shook his head and said, "The military quality of these soldiers is too poor. They are still trying to squeeze into the city at this time."

"This is normal. These people on the opposite side are called soldiers, but in fact most of them have not received much training, so how can they have any military qualities?" Xie Yuan said.

After killing more than a hundred people, the soldiers surrounding the city wall shouted, "Those who don't want to die, put your hands on your heads, squat on the ground and surrender."

There was chaos at the city gate for more than a minute. Only then did the soldiers who entered the city later realize that they were ambushed by the enemy ahead, and they turned around and began to flee the city.
