Nax's reprimand forced Langley to give orders, with Mecosimone's Sixth Army as the main force, and the 13th and 15th Armies attacking from the left and right respectively, to surround and annihilate the 88th Division!

The Battle of Dudu Temple entered its second phase, an encirclement and annihilation battle, in which the 88th Division faced off against elite Gallic troops.

In the next hour, the 88th Division was surrounded on three sides and the fighting was very difficult. It had to gradually withdraw from its positions, and at the same time it was facing the danger of being surrounded on both sides!

Fortunately, at this time, the commander of the 175th Division arrived with his troops in time, and immediately commanded the entire division to engage in battle and launch a fierce attack on the 13th Army on the left.

Although they only have the strength of the 175th Division, all of them have upgraded their muskets to artillery, and they also have heavy firepower support.

So the offensive was quite swift and the combat effectiveness was extremely strong!

After only ten minutes of fighting, they annihilated two regiments of the 13th Army, forcing them to withdraw their positions and hand over the territory.

This action exposed the left side of the center to the fire coverage of the 175th Division.

The commander of the 175th Division seized this opportunity and directly ordered the artillery to turn their guns and launch a massive bombardment on Mecosimeng in the middle!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The power of the 150MM howitzer blew up the entire central battlefield, causing blood and flesh to fly and countless casualties!

Upon learning that the left position had been lost and his side was surrounded, Mecosimmon was so angry that he wanted to shoot the damn Lalande.

As the commander-in-chief, Langley stopped this behavior and ordered a quick retreat to the north, crossing the Honghe Bridge to reach the north bank!

Then they quickly blew up the bridge, preventing the 88th and 175th Divisions from crossing!

Seeing that the enemy was about to escape, the commanders of the 88th Division and the 175th Division were extremely anxious. They successively ordered the organization of suicide squads and machine guns to infiltrate and cut off the enemy's retreat!

However, they were unable to penetrate the enemy because their numbers far outnumbered them, resulting in their inability to prevent them from passing through.

Just when they were in despair, a regiment of the 97nd Division of the 82th Army suddenly rushed out from the north bank of the Hong River. They first used light and heavy machine guns to form cross fire and opened fire fiercely on the bridgehead.

Caught off guard, the Gallic soldiers who rushed over first fell down in large numbers.

They thought they would be safe as long as they crossed the bridge, but what awaited them was not heaven but hell!

Afterwards, the regiment used its own heavy artillery company to bombard the Honghe Bridge.

The bridge was completely blown up, which directly cut off all escape routes for the 80,000 Gallic troops.

Next, it will be a moment of one-sided massacre. Unable to retreat to the north bank of Hong River, the only option is to organize troops to break out by force!

But the five breakouts organized by Lenglet were all beaten back.

In desperation, he had to lead all the combat personnel of the command center, walk out of the position, and surrender to the commanders of the 88th and 175th Divisions.

Lalande followed closely behind, raising the white flag and walking out of the position.

Giles took advantage of the chaotic situation, disguised himself as a soldier, and fled the battlefield with his guard and staff officer!

The commander of the Sixth Army, Mekosimeon, would rather die than surrender and fought to the last moment, until he had run out of bullets and only had one bullet left.

He shouted "Long live Gaul, long live the Gallic army", then he pointed the gun at his temple, pulled the trigger and shot himself.

From then on, all 80,000 elite Gallic troops under Naxos were wiped out!

After learning the news in Henei, Nax was completely desperate. With the help of his guard captain, he got on a military jeep from the back door of the headquarters and fled towards the south gate of Henei!

At this time, under Qin Feng's arrangement, the North City and the West City had already been breached by the 87th and 176th Divisions! "

Nax never dreamed that there would be a team waiting for him in Anshui County, the only way for him to escape to Nanyue.

"Commander-in-chief, look, that's the escape convoy of Naxos, the commander-in-chief of the Gaul Army!"

At this time, Zhang Gan was standing on the top of the city wall, pointing at the convoy running wildly on the road not far away.

Looking at this scene, Lu Daoyuan couldn't help but say: "Commander-in-chief, you are really good at predicting the enemy. Naxos fell into your hands, and he didn't deserve it!"

Lu Daoyuan's words opened up the conversation, and other people present also started to praise him.

Qin Feng's expression did not change at all. He just looked forward and spoke lightly.

"We agreed to execute the three commanders-in-chief with cannon fire, so of course no one should be left behind!"

"Do it!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

Following Qin Feng's words, the artillerymen on the side immediately fired ten 150MM heavy howitzers at Nax's convoy.

"fire!"

Following the order, the gunner pulled the firing pin!

"Bang bang bang!"

One shell after another flew towards the convoy and exploded with a loud bang.

Huge flames rose into the air, blowing the jeep to pieces while burning fiercely.

Naxos, the famous general of the Gallic army and the pride of Gaul, was completely gone.

At this time, a signalman ran over and reported: "Commander-in-chief, there is an urgent telegram from the 46th Army Headquarters!"

"Wu Lin, the commander of the 102nd Division of the Beiyue Army, which is surrounded by this army, requests to surrender. Please give your instructions on whether to agree or not!"

"surrender?"

"Other troops can surrender, but we cannot surrender to the capricious and ungrateful Beiyue Army, not even a single one!"

"I will send a telegram to the five army commanders. Blood debt must be repaid with blood. If even one soldier from the 100,000 Beiyue Army walks out of the mountains, their heads will be used to pay off the debt!"

When the news of Nax's execution reached Nanyue, the highest commander in Nanyue was forced to commit suicide.

Since then, Qin Feng's name has spread throughout South Asia!

......

The highest commander of the Gallic army in Yuenan might never have dreamed that this day would come.

He placed high hopes on Cornelius and entrusted all of Nanyue's available troops, a total of 300,000, to him.

But in the end, Cornelius' performance can be described in one word: terrible!

The heroic words that Cornelius said before leaving seemed to still ring in my ears, but the 300,000-strong army had already vanished into thin air!

The Beiyue battle was a complete defeat and Henei fell.

The commander-in-chief of the Nanyue Expeditionary Force, Cornelius, and the commander-in-chief of the Beiyue War Zone, Nax, were both defeated and killed by cannon fire!

13 reinforcements, Gallic troops in Beiyue, and countless Beiyue puppet troops were all wiped out. Someone must stand up and be held accountable for this.

He hated Qin Feng and hated this expeditionary force!

If Qin Feng hadn't led an army of hundreds of thousands to the south of Beiyue, how could such a great disaster have been brought about!

But he hated himself even more for having misjudged the person and for having Alzheimer's disease!

I actually believed the big promises made by this liar Cornelius!

His last words before leaving: Cornelius is a complete liar!

Until his death, he could never forgive Cornelius for sacrificing 300,000 troops in vain!

That night, Gaul's Prime Minister Lilani looked at the telegram sent from Yuenan on the table and was silent for a long time.

The highest commander in Yuenan was his middle school teacher and also an important guide on his journey.
