The day after Hongsang withdrew his troops, Sikong Shengjie received a call from the Grand Duchess of Dawn, Delise Mante, through a temporary communication line.
During the period of total war, Clearnet stopped war-related communications. However, this does not mean that humans cannot use long-distance communications. It is just that the convenience is not as good as Clearnet's communication satellites.
Radio grafting is one of the most common methods. Setting up a radio communication vehicle every fifty kilometers can transmit communication signals thousands of kilometers away, but the premise is that there are no enemy signal jamming vehicles nearby, and the communication vehicle does not Sabotaged by an enemy reconnaissance team.
Therefore, in general, radio communications are not a big problem in controlled areas, but in war zones, they are prone to destruction and interference, or even being deciphered, leaking important information.
"Since Norton and Hongsang have retreated, you should come back too."
The voice on the phone was unhurried and had a unique, low and bright tone, which easily reminded people of a graceful and luxurious woman.
Sikong Shengjie hesitated for a while and asked with some uncertainty, "Would it be a pity to retreat now?"
Although Norton and Hongsang withdrew their troops, they still have the upper hand in the current situation. Half of Tianqin has been recovered, and it is really a pity to give it away again.
"Norton and Hongsang are our important allies, and we must consider their feelings. Withdraw troops first, come back for negotiations, and it will not be too late to start a war when the goals are consistent."
"But..." Sikong Shengjie hesitated. The implication of the Grand Duke's words was that she was ready to give up on Tian Qin, which was the lesser of two evils.
Politics is always ruthless and cruel. In the eyes of rulers, once they lose their use value, they will be ruthlessly abandoned. The Tianqin Principality has fallen, and the only one with value is Shu Mu Bingchen's Tianqin First Army.
Obviously the value of Norton and Red Mulberry is much higher than that of a bereaved dog whose country and family have been ruined.
"No buts, I've made my decision."
"Yes Yes!"
The Grand Duchess's attitude was tough, and Sikong Shengjie had no choice but to give in. After all, he is the minister and the other party is the king. I obey your orders as a matter of course.
Putting down the phone, Sikong Shengjie, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, issued an order for the entire army to retreat to Shu Mu Bingchen's Tianqin First Army and the Nice Army.
Since Norton Hongsang withdrew his troops, the Nice Army began to pack up and prepare to retreat. However, due to Sikong Shengjie's face, it was difficult to leave directly. Now that the order has been issued, the dialing will start immediately.
Sikong Shengjie’s coalition forces have the largest number of troops and are well-trained
They were unable to train as well as the main armies of various countries, and it took them a day and a night to prepare for the retreat.
In the early morning, the sun rises.
The camp was very busy with people coming and going. The heavy mecha was loaded onto the truck, and the wheels were pressed down several centimeters. The military tent was rolled up and tied to the backpack along with the firearms. Boxes of ammunition were carried onto the carriage...
Suddenly, a figure walked in the morning light.
The soldiers who were packing their bags stopped one after another and looked at the person coming.
A maid pushed a wheelchair toward the camp. Sitting in the wheelchair was a handsome young man with starry eyes and a cold temperament.
The wheelchair stopped, and the young man looked at the soldiers, his eyes slowly swept over, and then he shouted loudly, "All Lyra soldiers, come out!"
The sound is concise and powerful, spreading in all directions.
"In the name of the Tianqin royal family, I order you to return to the team!"
Upon hearing the call from their prince, the Tianqin soldiers in the coalition army broke away from their original teams and gathered around the wheelchair.
"Brother Bingchen, what are you doing?"
Sikong Shengjie, who came after hearing the news, opened his eyes wide with confusion on his face. Although these soldiers who left the team are Tianqin soldiers, the army has military rules. They have been incorporated into the coalition forces and are soldiers of the coalition forces.
Leaving the team without permission from the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is tantamount to rebellion and can be executed on the spot!
When other coalition soldiers saw the Tianqin soldiers leaving the team, they immediately pointed their guns at these former comrades under the orders of the officers. These Tianqin soldiers did not intend to be captured without mercy, and raised their guns one after another to confront the coalition soldiers.
The atmosphere has become extremely tense, and as long as there is a slight blow, it will trigger a bloody conflict between the same comrades.
Shu Mu Bingchen didn't speak, just looked at Sikong Shengjie who was more than ten meters away.
"Brother Bingchen, please speak!" Sikong Shengjie shouted anxiously, but the other party still remained silent.
"Could it be that..." Sikong Shengjie murmured with pain on his face, "You really want to take refuge with the treacherous ministers and traitors as they said!"
Shu Mu Bingchen was stunned for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he sighed, "I didn't expect you to look at me like this..."
There was unspeakable bitterness in his voice. At this moment, Sikong Shengjie understood his friend's thoughts.
After looking at each other for a long time, Sikong Shengjie gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Put down the gun and let them go!"
Half an hour later, Shu Mu Bingchen left with Tian Qin's soldiers.
"The whole army obeys the order and retreats!"
Not long after, Sikong Shengjie issued an order for the entire army to retreat. Originally, he planned to keep 200,000 people behind, but with Bai Yefenghua's character, he would never let them leave in vain.
But there is no need now, Shu Mu Bingchen will do it for them.
As the coalition forces retreated, the fields dotted with wildflowers were filled with neatly organized troops.
Quiet and solemn, like a silent volcano.
The young man in the wheelchair stared at the soldiers and began his pre-war speech.
"Today, we stand here, standing on the land of our hometown..."
"The sunshine is warm, the flowers and plants are fragrant. The fertile fields are thousands of miles long, and the rivers flow endlessly!"
"Today, I just want to tell you one thing..."
"We are the last face of Tianqin!"
The young man in the wheelchair put his hand on his heart and shouted loudly.
"Today's battle is not for victory, but for dignity!"
"Tell everyone the bloody nature of our Lyran people!"
The impassioned speech aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers. They raised their fists and shouted loudly, "Long live Tianqin!"
In fact, there was a third reason why Shu Mu Bingchen refused to lead his army into the city, and that was that he was disappointed with the Five-Nation Alliance and believed that failure was inevitable.
Now that the little sister has been recognized by Ice Blue City and the bloodline of the Shu Mu royal family can be continued, there is no need to create extraneous matters.
The dignity of Tianqin, the glory of Tianqin, the loyalty of the Shumu family to the late king, and the promise to the ancestors should be guarded by his brother!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Tianqin First Army, which had organized 100,000 coalition soldiers, launched a fierce attack on the Ice Blue City coalition position. Their morale is high, they regard death as their own, and they tear apart the opponent's front line with overwhelming force.
"Urgent report, the enemy has broken through several of our defense lines in succession!"
"Are these guys crazy? They are not fighting at all, they are risking their lives!"
Looking at the red dots of crazy attacks on the tactical map, Bai Yefenghua pounded the table hard, gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Since you want to die, I will help you!"
That night, Chen Xing received a secret letter from Bai Ye Fenghua, requesting him to join the battlefield from the side and rear to encircle and suppress Shu Mu Bingchen.
