Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Fang Guoxuan on the city wall saw the enemy begin to retreat from the city gate, and knew that these people had reacted, so he did not hesitate and shouted, "Fight."

The soldiers of the guard regiment ambushing on the city wall showed up with guns in hand and shot at the soldiers outside the city wall.

Caught off guard, dozens of soldiers outside the city wall were killed.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the central regiment finally realized that Xing County had also been occupied by the enemy.

He said angrily: "Where did this army come from? Why is its combat effectiveness so strong?"

"Captain, let's retreat." The staff officer beside him reminded.

Sighing, the leader asked, "Where can we retreat to?"

"This..." The staff officer also hesitated.

Xing County behind us was breached, and the life or death of the division commander was unknown. The other two regiments were also held back by the enemy, and no one knew what was going on.

With those who died in previous battles and those just wiped out by the enemy, half of the men in his regiment have been killed or wounded.

After thinking for a moment, the staff officer said, "Captain, let's retreat first, find a place to hold on, and stabilize the situation first."

"If you can't contact the division commander, move closer to the warlord's troops. If you continue like this, you will be wiped out by the enemy sooner or later."

The regiment commander also thought so. He immediately organized the nearby troops to retreat and try to get out of the enemy's encirclement first.

Fang Guoxuan, who was on the city wall, saw that the enemies in the city had been eliminated and all those who were killed had surrendered. He ordered: "Xie Yuan, you take two companies to pursue the enemies outside the city."

Xie Yuan was eager to try, and when he received the order, he immediately led the first and second companies of his battalion to chase outside the city. Fang Guoxuan was responsible for cleaning the battlefield and counting the prisoners.

The commander of the central regiment had just gathered a force of 300 men when Xie Yuan and his soldiers chased after him.

Most of the defeated people fled towards the leader of the central route, and a few fled towards the small road outside the city and into the mountains and forests.

Xie Yuan didn't have time to care about the small scattered troops that were fleeing, and rushed straight towards the hundreds of people gathered by the regiment commander.

"Brothers, turning around and running away will also mean death. The enemy has only a few hundred people. Defeat these pursuers first and then retreat." The captain of the central route shouted and wanted to lead his men to charge towards Xie Yuan.

The captain's idea was good, but the reality was cruel. Except for a few guards around him, most of the soldiers stood where they were and did not charge.

After running for more than ten meters, the regiment commander felt something was wrong. He turned around and found that the soldiers behind him were standing still without making any movement. This made him angry and anxious. However, before he could make any other moves, he was hit by a machine gun and fell to the ground without a sound.

When the soldiers saw that their commander was dead, most of them fled in all directions, while some chose to surrender. Xie Yuan stepped in and led the soldiers to capture prisoners everywhere.

When all the battle reports came in, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Zhang Wei and Li Zhongwu had already cleaned up the battlefield and were leading their soldiers back to Xing County.

Fang Jian couldn't help but sigh. He liked this kind of warlord army so much. There was really no need for strategy to fight this kind of war. No, this was not called fighting. The opposing army was not even an army.

After finding Tao Yunong, Fang Jian instructed: "Yunong, send someone to contact Zhu Yaoxiang and express his intention to form an alliance. See what he says."

After receiving the order, Tao Yunong instructed Hu Jian: "Hu Jian, you lead a few people to represent our side to unite with Zhu Yaoxiang, make initial contact with him first, and find out his intentions."

"Chief, if we go this way, I'm afraid we won't be able to see Zhu Yaoxiang." Hu Jian said hesitantly.

Tao Yunong also thought of this problem, and he said, "It's okay. I will ask the commander to send a team of soldiers to escort you to Zhu Yaoxiang's military camp at the junction of Xing County and An County. They should take you to see Zhu Yaoxiang."

Tao Yunong gave a few more instructions and Hu Jian went downstairs to prepare.

Under the escort of a platoon of soldiers from the Guard Regiment, Hu Jian rushed towards the positions of the two regiments sent by Zhu Yaoxiang to resist Zhang Shengwu.

In the afternoon, both Zhang Wei and Li Zhongwu's troops returned to Xing County, and Xie Yuan's defeated small group had also returned.

Fang Guoxuan was responsible for the inventory and statistics of each unit's battle results and spoils.

Hu Jian was also escorted by soldiers to a place not far from Zhu Yaoxiang's position, but they did not dare to approach rashly.

Only one soldier from the Guards Regiment was sent to approach the position. As he approached carefully, the soldier said, "Brother, don't shoot, don't shoot. We have something important to ask your commander."

"Don't move, raise your hands, who are you?" someone in the position asked as the soldiers approached.

The soldier said: "We are soldiers from the Xinyuan County militia. We were the ones who wiped out Zhang Shengwu's troops."

Hearing that Zhang Shengwu's troops were wiped out by them, the soldiers on the position did not dare to delay and hurried to report it.

After being reported to higher authorities, the soldiers of the First Guard Regiment were brought to the headquarters. One of the regiment leaders asked suspiciously, "Are you from the Xinyuan County Militia?"

The uniform this soldier is wearing is prettier than mine. Only a fool would believe him if he said he was from the militia.

"Yes, our commander wants to unite with your division commander and send representatives to prepare to contact your unit." The soldier nodded.

After letting the soldier go down temporarily, a regiment commander asked, "Lao Li, what do you think about this?"

"Anyway, I don't believe they are a militia, but they should be very strong," said Captain Li.

The regiment commander who was asking the question also nodded, and then he thought of something and said, "Speaking of Xinyuan County, I remember that the weapons the division commander took out were all bought from Xinyuan County."

"Old Kong, I remember that the county magistrate of Xinyuan County seemed to be named Fang." Captain Li also remembered this.

Captain Kong nodded and said, "That's right. Let's ask the leader of the other side to come over and ask. Anyway, the other side doesn't have many people. Even if there is a problem, our several thousand people are enough to deal with it."

Li Tuan agreed. There were thousands of them, so there was no reason to be afraid of the dozens of people on the other side.

Soon Hu Jian was brought to the headquarters. He saluted and said, "Hello, my name is Hu Jian, and I am the leader of the Xinyuan County Security Department."

"My surname is Li, and this one's surname is Kong. We are both regiment commanders." The two regiment commanders saluted, then shook hands with Hu Jian enthusiastically, and then the regiment commander Li introduced himself.

Hu Jian called out to Captain Li and Captain Kong respectively, and introduced: "Our commander led his troops to occupy Fenglin City, and wanted to unite with Commander Zhu to resist Ma Jincen together."

"Can you take me to see Master Zhu to discuss the meeting?"

The two looked at each other, and Captain Li asked, "I know there is a County Magistrate Fang in Xinyuan County. I wonder what his relationship is with you?"

"Our commander is the mayor of Xinyuan County, and he is also the commander of the militia." Hu Jian said with a smile.

Captain Li asked in a low voice: "Brother, I wonder how many troops you have?"

Although they didn't know how many troops the other side had, they guessed that there should be quite a few, enough to annihilate Zhang Shengwu's four or five thousand men. Even if Zhang Shengwu's troops were of poor quality, the other side should have two or three thousand men.

Hu Jian just laughed it off and did not answer the question. Instead, he started talking about the talks between the two parties.
