If the withdrawal is too late, once Jishan Town is surrounded, the nearly 100,000 troops in Jishan Town will not be able to withdraw.

This army accounts for 80% of our country's total army. Once we lose this army, our country will not be able to fight the next war."

Governor He Feng knew that now was not the time to fight for power and gain.

If the problem in Jishan Town is not handled well, Shu will basically have no future.

"Your Majesty, General Fan Yingying failed to succeed.

Mainly because the soldiers he led, Qu Cheng, were new soldiers, and he had previously wanted to train on the battlefield of Jishan Town.

Unexpectedly, he would have to undertake the most demanding task.

The recruits did not collapse on the battlefield, which has proved the advantages of our country's military training.

The most important issue now is to preserve the firepower of the army.

Even if the Hongshanling Iron Mine is lost, as long as the army continues to maintain its combat effectiveness, sooner or later we will be able to recapture the iron mine.

Strong men are easy to recruit, but officers are difficult to train.

The army in Jishan Town is besieged, and even if the imperial court provides sufficient weapons and financial resources, our army's combat effectiveness cannot be restored in time."

King Qian Mingyi of Shu did not know much about military affairs.

Now the Grand Governor and the Chief of General Staff all suggested that the troops should be withdrawn.

Thinking about the investment of Shu in Jishan Town, he felt a little sad in his heart, but he still supported the opinion of the Governor-General.

"Okay then! Inform Jishan Town to evacuate in an orderly manner.

Things that are inconvenient to transfer, such as fortress guns, would rather be destroyed than left to the Swedish army to become weapons for attacking our country."

The Grand Governor He Feng and the Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang saw that King Qian Mingyi's attitude softened and allowed the troops on the front line to withdraw.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

The Shu Kingdom used its newly recruited militiamen as the elite of the Shu army to cover the enemy's ears and eyes.

The fact that most of the veterans were transferred to Jishan Town was concealed.

Jishan Town was originally a place for military training, but who knew the situation would change so quickly.

Once the Rui army knew that most of the Shu army officers were in Jishan Town.

The Swiss army chose to annihilate the Shu army in Jishan Town despite heavy casualties.

If the Shu army encounters this kind of problem, it will really be devastated.

…

Yan Baizhi, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army, received a telegram from the Governor's Office.

As the big stone in his heart dropped, he frowned.

Now that the two armies are in a state of anxiety, it will be difficult for the Shu army to evacuate safely.

Chief of Staff Qiu Rushen said helplessly: "In this situation, we can only abandon the wounded soldiers.

The more seriously wounded were asked to surrender to the Swiss army.

We have no control over how Switzerland treats the indigenous people in the army.

But most of the officers and soldiers in the army are Han Chinese.

The Swedish army never treated Chinese prisoners harshly."

Commander Yan Baizhi's eyes lit up, and he finally made up his mind: "The wounded soldiers surrender, this is their final fate.

But they should use their remaining value before surrendering."

Chief of Staff Qiu Lushen, do you understand what this sentence means?

"Old Yan, you want these wounded soldiers to take charge of the rear."

Yan Baizhi nodded and said: "Only a part of the army will be left to take charge of breaking up the rear, and then let General Fan Yingying take over from the outside.

Only then can most people be evacuated from Jishan Town.

If we want to evacuate all of them, our only outcome will be annihilation."

Chief of Staff Qiu Lushen thought for a while and concluded that Commander Yan Baizhi's method was already the most feasible method now.

"Old Yan, then we will hold a military meeting to inform officers at all levels about this matter."

Commander Yan Baizhi waved his hand and said: "Don't inform us yet, our army has suffered a new defeat, and now people's hearts are floating.

I don’t know who will be rebellious. Once this matter is known to the Swedish army, it will be very difficult for our army to withdraw safely.

A military meeting can be held, but they must be informed that we are preparing for a counterattack and let them do a good job in mobilizing soldiers.

There is no need to tell General Fan Yingying the truth.

Only General Fan Yongyong was allowed to open the road to Jishan Town.

To mislead him, we are short of ammunition and General Fan Yingying will be eager to open the road.

I trust General Fan Yingying, but I don't trust his men.

Once there is a traitor among them, we will be doomed."

Chief of General Staff Qiu Rushen gave a thumbs up and said: "This is a good method, but now we must keep it confidential.

We launched a counterattack, which according to the rules is normal.

Both the generals of our army and the generals of the Swedish army will think this is a normal situation.

The Swedish army is now at a strategic advantage and will attack fiercely once our army is discovered.

In order to preserve their strength, they will retreat from the front line, which is conducive to the withdrawal of our troops."

The two decided on the evacuation tactics, and they began to hold a military meeting to assign tasks to each unit.

These tasks may seem normal, but in fact the retreat sequence has been cleverly arranged.

The next morning, the Shu army was ready for war. The soldiers had eaten their fill and carried dry food with them.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With an order from Commander Yan Baizhi, the Shu army in Jishan Town began to launch a fierce attack on the Swedish army's position.

General Fan Yingyong was also on the outskirts of Jishan Town, suppressing Peak No. 9 with artillery fire and sending troops to open the road to Jishan Town.

After the war began, Commander Yan Baizhi arranged for his confidants to start doing more covert things.

One of the things is to talk to the wounded soldiers.

For the wounded and patriotic soldiers, Xiao used his great righteousness to persuade them to cut off their rear.

For wounded soldiers whose positions are unclear, their family members can only be used to threaten them.

Two hours after the Shu army withdrew, they chose to surrender, and their families at home would not be affected in any way.

If they surrender early, they will become traitors and their families at home will be implicated.

Commander Yan Baizhi is using both soft and hard tactics and has already found a candidate for the end of the war.

When he found out that the Swiss army was just as he expected.

After the Shu army launched a fierce attack, they chose to avoid the edge temporarily.

General Fan Yingying has also opened a safe passage to Jishan Town from the outside world.

Ensure that this safe channel will not be cut off by the Swedish army.

Commander Yan Baizhi knew that the time had come, and he immediately ordered the Shu army to take advantage of the opportunity to change defenses and gradually withdraw.

The grassroots of the Shu army saw their defense lines being taken over by wounded soldiers, and they were ordered to evacuate.

These people were puzzled and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the news.

After they confirmed that the order was true, they left the position in an orderly manner.

Yan Baizhi saw the wounded soldiers changing defenses, but did not arouse the warning of the Shu army. They thought that the Shu army was resting normally.

He led the withdrawn troops and quickly evacuated along the safe passage towards the outside of Jishan Town.

They will evacuate to the Hongshanling mining area along the railway.

Yan Baizhi looked towards the direction of Jishan Town and saw several huge fires flashing on the main peak No. 1.

This is the henchman who stayed behind and chose to destroy the fortress cannon.

At this time, the Swedish army should have discovered the abnormality on the battlefield, and the wounded soldiers would surrender in large numbers.
