Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

It took Fang Wei'an's troops two hours to capture most of the fleeing enemy troops.

In this battle, 435 enemies were killed, 6028 were captured, 6122 old sleeves and 15 box guns were seized.

On the afternoon of the second day after Ma Jincen fled into Nanling City, Fang Jian's Guard Division, the First Division, and the Second Division, with nearly 30,000 people, surrounded Nanling City from three sides.

In the meeting room of the Governor's Mansion, Ma Jincen looked at everyone present and said anxiously, "The bandit's troops are already at the gates of the city. Do you have any ideas for repelling the enemy?"

"General, we will not be able to defend Nanling with the troops in the city." Ma Jinwei said.

"What we need to do now is to order Zhang Guilin and Cao Bingshen's troops to support Nanling and defend it. Then we should contact the northern government and ask them to mediate this dispute."

The rest, such as Liu Minggong, Zheng Zhifan, Xu Yunhua, and Ma Yulin, all had blank expressions on their faces and said nothing.

Fang Jian's troops advanced too quickly and the good situation was reversed in one day, leaving several people with lingering fears and thinking about a way to retreat.

Should he follow Ma Jincen all the way to the end, or resign and join other warlords, or surrender to Fang Jian.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ma Jincen coughed lightly and said, "It's fine to contact the Northern Government, but what if the Northern Government puts forward excessive conditions?"

"General, no matter how excessive the conditions are, it is better than losing Nanshan." Ma Jinwei advised.

Seeing that the rest of the people still did not express their opinions for a long time, Ma Jincen waved his hand dejectedly: "You go and arrange this matter. The defense of Nanling is also in your full responsibility."

Looking at Ma Jincen's departing back, the remaining people in the conference room had different thoughts.

After receiving the telegram from Nanling, neither Zhang Guilin nor Cao Bingshen led their troops to Nanling.

The Northern Government did make a request to Ma Jincen, asking him to lead his troops out of Nanshan and accept the Northern Government's dispatch. As for the economy and politics of Nanshan, they had to be arranged by the Northern Government.

"Bastard." After receiving a call back from the northern government, Ma Jincen cursed loudly in his study.

The Guard Division’s temporary command post, the commanders of the 1st and 2nd Divisions are all here.

Li Zhongwu, the commander of the First Division, asked: "Commander Fang, when and how should we fight this battle?"

Fang Guoxuan was also very conflicted about this. Although Fang Jian gave him the right to make decisions on the spot, he had not yet thought through how to fight this battle.

It's not about anything else, but the attack on Nanling will inevitably involve the use of artillery. Once the artillery is fired, not to mention the casualties among the people of Nanling, the city wall will be destroyed and the area around the city wall will be reduced to ruins, which is not what he wants to see.

"Division Commander, the commander is here." While everyone was discussing, Fang Weian ran into the command center and said.

Just as they were about to stand up to greet him, Fang Jian had already walked into the command center: "Don't be shy, everyone take a seat."

After everyone sat down, Fang Jian asked, "Tell me, how are you going to attack Nanling?"

"Commander, in order to avoid casualties among the troops, we have no choice but to attack by force." Fang Guoxuan stood up and said with an unnatural expression.

Fang Jian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nanling is the provincial capital after all. A strong attack would cause incalculable casualties, damage to the city walls, and losses to the people in the city."

"Our special forces have been training for quite some time, and it's time for them to show their talents."

Wei Hanzhou, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Commander. I will definitely lead people to open the gate of Nanling tonight."

"War also requires strategy." Seeing how excited he was, Fang Jian said with a smile.

"Ma Jincen has two divisions and a guard regiment in Nanling. Zheng Zhifan's troops will be responsible for guarding the South Gate and East Gate, while the New Army Division will be in charge of the North Gate and West Gate."

"In the early morning of this evening, Han Zhou will launch a surprise attack on North City and open the city gate. After the city gate is opened, the Guard Division will be responsible for launching an attack on Nanling."

Hearing about the use of the special forces, Fang Guoxuan asked, "What if we fail to capture the city?"

"Don't worry, Commander Fang. With my help, we can definitely open the city gate." Wei Hanzhou was unhappy when he heard Fang Guoxuan say that.

Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. If we fail to capture the city, we can use explosive packs to blow open the city gate."

The explosive packs were manufactured in military factories and the materials were collected in Fenglin.

"As for the First and Second Divisions, the First Division will guard outside the East Gate, the Second Division will guard outside the South Gate, and each of the two divisions will send one division to guard outside the West Gate. Do not let Ma Jincen's troops escape."

"Yes." Seeing Fang Jian'an's decision, Fang Guoxuan, Li Zhongwu, and Zhang Wei had no other opinions. However, Li Zhongwu and Zhang Wei were a little depressed because they did not get the task of the main attack.

It was three o'clock in the morning. Wei Hanzhou brought twenty-eight special forces men and Wang Hu, a total of thirty people, to the city wall near the enemy tower.

Wei Hanzhou gestured to a few people and began to climb the city wall with nimble movements. With his five-and-a-half-star physical fitness, Wei Hanzhou climbed up the city wall effortlessly.

After climbing up the city wall, Wei Hanzhou took off the rope on his body, tied it up and threw it down, then he began to use a dagger to deal with the guards on this section of the city wall.

Because it was the middle of the night and it was dark, and most of the guards on the city wall were dozing off, naturally no one noticed anything unusual here.

After Wei Hanzhou dealt with the guards outside the enemy tower, Wang Hu and seven or eight special forces soldiers climbed onto the city wall.

After a series of hand gestures, two soldiers were left to guard the ropes to meet the remaining special forces. Wei Hanzhou, Wang Hu and the remaining six special forces sneaked into the enemy building.

Except for a company commander and a few veterans in the enemy tower, all the others were recruits and were eliminated without any preparation.

"Who?" The company commander was a little alert, thinking something had happened, and was stabbed in the throat by the dagger thrown by Wei Hanzhou.

Several veterans had just reacted when they were also stabbed on the neck by several special forces soldiers.

After dealing with the soldiers in the enemy tower, several people gathered together. Wang Hu said, "Everything is done. I will lead people to open the city gate. Wei Hanzhou, you lead people to guard the city wall."

Wang Hu’s idea was very simple. If the city gate could not be opened, it would be difficult for the people who went to carry out the mission to survive. So he naturally left the dangerous task to himself.

"Wang Heizi, I am the captain, and I have to be the one to seize the city gate." It was so hard to get out to fight, so how could Wei Hanzhou let it go.

In the end, Wei Hanzhou gained the upper hand and forcefully led 19 special forces members down the city wall.

Wang Hu and nine special forces members stayed on the city wall and dragged all the bodies of the guards killed by Wei Hanzhou into the enemy building.

Leading 19 special forces soldiers, they walked down the wall along the ladder. The guards along the way were all dozing off. The special forces soldiers made very little noise during their actions, so they naturally did not alarm the guards.

Wei Hanzhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The quality of these soldiers is really low."

Arriving at the city gate, he easily dealt with the guards at the gate. After opening the city gate, Wei Hanzhou still felt unsatisfied. The enemy was too weak, and the battle was over before he could even show his strength.

When the city gate opened, Wei Hanzhou walked out of the city, and a bird-like sound came out of his mouth. Fang Weian, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the Guard Division who was lying in ambush outside the city, immediately led his men to rush towards the city gate.
