Chapter 188 Promoted to a third-grade principality, the Tang Kingdom sets sail!

Even as the General Administration of Military Affairs was busy reorganizing new combat corps, the front line did not really stop.

Bai Qi adopted tactics to persuade him to surrender.

Through Feilian soldiers, a large number of leaflets were distributed to Luoton County and Nash County, informing the officers and soldiers in the city that the three fortresses of Aoshan, Luoshan and Morishan had been occupied by Chang'an and they were isolated and helpless.

If they are willing to surrender, Chang'an can ensure their safety.

"what's the situation?"

"This, this is impossible, right?"

"Chang'an must be deceiving!"

Like the alliance lords, the first reaction of the players and generals in the city was disbelief.

Chang'an is famous for its cunning.

On the contrary, Douglas, the commander of the coalition forces, felt his heart sinking when he received the news.

"General, Chang'an is not really going to launch an attack on the east, right?" Staff Mike seemed to have thought of something.

"Hard to say."

Douglas looked solemn, "According to common sense, the three major fortresses are not easy to fall. But if they are not protected, Chang'an will come up with some big killer weapon."

"So, what should we do now?" Mike asked.

"What else can we do? Keep waiting. Chang'an does not dare to attack the city directly, which means it still has concerns. Don't be easily fooled." Douglas tried to maintain a calm image.

Even though I was already panicking.

………

When direct attempts to persuade him to surrender failed, Bai Qi resorted to another trick.

Don't the player generals in the city not believe that the three major fortresses have fallen? Well, Chang'an promised that he can lead a few of them to visit the fortresses in person to confirm the truth.

Trusted.

Douglas, the commander of the coalition forces, naturally refused.

But the players and generals below couldn't stand the curiosity, especially those players who had been killed once in the battle with Chang'an before. They really didn't want to die again.

There are only three chances of resurrection.

Therefore, at night, some player generals still rode in gondolas, quietly left the city, and then went to visit the three major fortresses under the "escort" of the Chang'an army.

After confirming the fall of the three major fortresses, they rushed back to the city before dawn.

The news also spread immediately.

I can't stop it even if I want to.

Immediately, some player generals clamored to leave the city.

"The three major fortresses all fell. The Alliance did not send a single reinforcement from the beginning to the end. We are already isolated and helpless. What is the point of holding on any longer?"

"That's right, the Alliance has already regarded us as abandoned children. Do we still want to die heroically for our country?"

If you really want to be heroic, just give it a try.

The key is.

What's the point of wasting an opportunity for resurrection for a false reputation?

Faced with the doubts of the player generals, Douglas was speechless.

He can't be selfless either.

Even if we put aside emotional factors such as feelings for Paoze, from a rational perspective, those player generals who have already died once will 100% not join the coalition again if they die again.

He might not even join the territorial army again.

It’s important to save your life!

………

June 3rd, sunny.

In order to continue to put pressure on the coalition forces, Bai Qi ordered that secret weapons such as Kuafu giants, magic crystal cannons, and magic dragons be deployed to the siege front line.

As soon as the magic crystal cannon fired a salvo, a large crater appeared in the city wall.

This was because they deliberately did not aim at the city gate, in order to clearly inform the defenders in the city that it was not that Chang'an could not break the city, but they just did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Surrender and leave, or fight stubbornly?

Douglas, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, is facing increasingly severe pressure to make decisions.

certainly.

The coalition forces can also choose to take the initiative to leave the city and confront the Chang'an army.

However, the three major fortresses fell at the same time. Even if the coalition forces broke through, they could not retreat to the three major provinces. The so-called breakthrough was more like a suicide attack.

Really want that.

After the defeat, Chang'an would definitely not be polite to these defeated generals.

Is free resurrection okay?

"General, why don't you surrender?" Staff Mike asked tentatively.

He was also killed once.

I originally thought that hiding in the rear base camp would be fine, but it turned out that

"I'm thinking about it."

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Douglas needed to consider, obviously more. If he really wanted to order a surrender, even if he could escape unscathed, he would probably not be able to retain his position as commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

He might even be targeted for shame and be as famous as Grant.

"General, with all due respect. With the fall of the three major fortresses, the two counties are about to be lost. Will the alliance really form a new coalition in the future?" Mike seemed to see through Douglas's mind.

"The subsequent confrontation with Chang'an is likely to be dominated by the provincial coalition forces."

"Even if the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is established for the needs of war command, it will only be a wartime position. In peacetime, the provinces will definitely be governed by the provinces, and each will take care of its own affairs."

"..."

Mike's words awakened the dreamer.

that is.

The taste is not that pleasant.

"How about this."

Douglas finally made up his mind, "If you are willing to leave the city, the coalition command will not stop you. If you are unwilling to leave, just follow me and stand guard for the last time."

He hasn't died yet, and he can still afford to waste a chance to be resurrected.

"good!"

Mike took a deep look at Douglas.

It can be seen that Douglas still cares about his reputation and status in the alliance. Even if he is forced into a desperate situation, he is not willing to bear the infamy of "surrendering without a fight."

………

morning.

Just when Douglass decided to be a "lone warrior", Lorton County, which was not the headquarters of the coalition forces, took the lead in voting with his feet and chose to "abandon the city and flee."

He was escorted out of Luoshan Fortress by the Chang'an army.

Accordingly, Luoton County, including the nearly 200,000 troops in the city, and hundreds of millions of catties of grain, all became Chang'an's spoils of war.

This deal was a very good deal.

………

June 4th, cloudy.

Faced with Douglas's stubborn resistance, Bai Qi did not hesitate and united the east and west armies to launch the final general attack on Nash County.

There are more than twenty magic crystal cannons with the same name, and four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest are aligned with the entrance.

The Sea Dragon King, the sixth-level demon dragon, and Suzaku Xiaohong all appeared, turning the entire Nash County town into a sea of ​​fire, like a purgatory on earth.

Li Yuanba led the second cavalry division of the Guards Corps and took the lead in entering the city.

Set off a monstrous killing!

In order to win Nash County in one fell swoop, Chang'an used all its cards.

"Is this the secret of Chang'an? No wonder it is said that all three fortresses fell within half a day." On top of the city tower, seeing Chang'an's most powerful method, Douglas committed suicide.
