In order to ensure safety and prevent unexpected situations, the sentry captain dispatched 30 signal soldiers at one time, divided into three teams, and rushed back to Lichuan City via three different routes. Two of the teams took the main road and were very fast, so they arrived in about 20 minutes. There is another road which is a little known and is twice as long.
Sure enough, when the three-way troops were rushing back to Lichuan City, the two groups of communication troops taking the main road encountered an ambush and the entire army was wiped out. In other words, the enemy's scouts and vanguard troops have already sneaked into the urban area of Lichuan City.
Fortunately, a team of signal soldiers who took a small road successfully arrived at Lichuan City.
The Lord of Lichuan City successfully received the news of the border incident. Without any extra delay, he immediately ordered the entire city to be on alert and prepare for defense. At the same time, the city lord also sent 10 teams of reconnaissance guards, each with 100 people. While detecting surrounding abnormalities, they also notified surrounding cities of enemy attack intelligence.
The deputy city lord said uneasily: "City lord, do you want to report the situation to Wangcheng?"
"Don't worry, we have still confirmed the enemy's situation with our own eyes, and we don't know which force is invading. There is no need to alert the central government for the time being." The city lord said calmly.
An hour later, one of the scouts successfully returned to Lichuan City. They reported to the city lord in a panic: "It's not good, it's Ao Lie who's attacking this time."
"Ao Lie? Are you sure?" the city lord shouted in shock.
"Yes, it's Ao Lie's flag. This time they dispatched at least 500,000 troops to attack Lichuan City, Xuanen City, and Jianfeng City at the same time. The scale is unprecedented."
"It's Ao Lie who actually started a war without declaring it." The city lord broke into a cold sweat and didn't know what to do.
"City Lord, calm down. For now, it's better to send communications troops to report the situation to the central government."
"Well, go and do it quickly."
After everyone left the office, the city lord slowly stood up and came to the window. He looked at the glass outside the floor-to-ceiling window, thoughtfully and with sad eyes.
He recalled his history of struggle and finally climbed to where he is today step by step. Unexpectedly, before he could take the position of city lord, he encountered a war.
At present, Lichuan City only has 20,000 troops, and it is impossible to resist Ao Lie's army. Under normal circumstances, no city lord is allowed to abandon the city and escape unless the central government issues an order to abandon the city and evacuate. Aolie's army is now approaching fiercely. According to the current speed, it will surely reach Lichuan City in the afternoon. Before that, the central government had no time to get the information here. And even if the central government gets the information, it is impossible to order the city to be abandoned. After all, only by holding on and resisting can we buy time for other cities to prepare and defend.
"Alas, it seems that my old life may end up in this city." The Lord of Lichuan City looked up to the sky and sighed.
Two hours later, Ao Lie's army arrived at the east gate of Lichuan City, and the siege troops launched a three-hour fierce attack on Lichuan City. After losing tens of thousands of troops, Ao Lie's army successfully broke through the city.
After the city was broken, the defenders still put up a desperate resistance under the leadership of the Lord of Lichuan City.
Birdman Wei Jing descended from the sky, seized the opportunity, captured the city lord, and took him flying high into the sky. The city lord's hands were tightly clasped by powerful claws, making him unable to move. And at high altitudes, it was the area where Birdman Wei Jing was best at, so the city lord was unable to resist at all.
Thousands of meters high in the sky, Birdman Wei Jing dropped the city lord.
The city lord's descent speed is getting faster and faster, and the intermediate armor on his body is simply not enough to withstand such an impact. Unless you drop just above grass or wetland, it's a disaster.
The city lord glanced below and shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that God doesn't care about me either."
With a dull loud noise, the city lord hit the ground, and the huge impact created a crater. When the smoke slowly dispersed, the scattered armor was splattered with the blood of the city lord.
Birdman Wei Jing descended to the ground and came to the city lord.
The city lord's internal organs were exposed, but he was still stubborn. He couldn't speak, but his unyielding eyes seemed to tell Wei Jing: "I will not obey you."
"Life is so tough." Wei Jing sneered, pulled out his dagger, and cut off the city lord's head.
The death of the city lord greatly reduced the morale of the defenders, and they dispersed while resisting. When the situation got out of hand, the deputy city lord issued a decisive order to retreat.
In the end, of the 20,000 defenders, as many as 10,000 were killed or injured, and only 5,000 soldiers successfully evacuated.
At this point, Lichuan City was lost, and the city defense battle lasted less than five hours.
After that, Ao Lie's army took advantage of the victory to attack and continuously attacked the small town affiliated with Lichuan City. At night, a total of 20 large and small cities in Lichuan City were lost.
At the same time, Xuanen City and Jiafeng City fell one after another.
On the first day of the attack, Aolie's forces occupied three cities and captured about 50 large and small cities. The fall of the three cities also meant that all related industries and resources in these three cities fell into the hands of Aolie.
Ao Lie reorganized his army overnight, replenished armaments and supplies, and continued to advance eastward in the early morning of the second time.
In the Eastern City in the land east of the river, Central Wangcheng issued an emergency order to the entire territory. All cities used the advantage of defending the city to carry out desperate resistance. They would only evacuate according to the situation after the city was defeated, and immediately replenished the nearby cities.
On the other side, Beiming Shanyin City, Shanyin City.
Su Kou arrived overnight and met with Jiang Feng.
In the office of the military base, Su Kouye reported the battle report from the south to Jiang Feng.
After hearing this, Jiang Feng was not very excited or angry. Instead, he drank tea calmly: "Ao Lie took action after all."
"Why are you so calm? We have lost three cities. The lord of Lichuan City, the lord of Xuan'en City, and the lord of Jianfeng City were all killed in battle. Can you swallow this breath?" Su Kouye asked unhappily.
"They are great. I will posthumously designate them as pioneer martyrs, and their families will be favored."
"Aren't you going to do something? Are you going to let Aolie do whatever he wants?"
"We have occupied one-third of Beiming's territory. If we go south at this time, Beiming's city will be taken back by the zombies, so we cannot leave now."
"I know it's not the right time to leave, but we can't do nothing."
"Don't worry too much, Li Ming will deal with Ao Lie." Jiang Feng said calmly.
"Are you hiding something from me? How can Li Ming handle this matter alone?" Su Kouye said unhappily.
"It's not that I deliberately hid it from you, it's just that you didn't ask before."
"Then tell me, if you can't make me feel at ease, I will have a very unhappy battle in Beiming. After all, the backyard is on fire right now."
"If Ao Lie causes trouble, Liming will lead the Wudang flying army to attack overnight and make a surprise attack into the hinterland of Xichuan."
"Let Li Ming lead the Wudang Flying Army? Does she have this ability? A surprise attack on the hinterland of Xichuan, do you want her to attack Ao Lie's capital? Don't be kidding, the Wudang Flying Army is not a professional siege force. It can barely attack small and medium-sized cities. Yes, but it is impossible to attack the capital city." Su Kouye questioned.
"Who said we were going to attack the capital? Li Ming wants to attack Wenchuan, Ao Lie's treasure house city."
