For Yu Ke, the collapse began out of nowhere.
Before Yu Ke even had time to make any countermeasures, his more than 10,000 troops fell apart.
The situation took a turn for the worse so fast that it was more exciting than riding a roller coaster.
"Grandma is such a badass, the people in the wasteland are so unreasonable!" Yu Ke said in his heart as hundreds of thousands of alpacas were galloping past, I didn't know what to say.
…
"Master, the situation is critical, please make a decision quickly." His subordinates shouted in panic.
"Master, should we fight or retreat?"
"Master's seat?"
The call of his subordinates brought Yu Ke, who was a little distracted, back to reality.
Yu Ke slowly looked around and found that the only people he could use now were more than a thousand people from the third division.
Damn it!
What to do now?
Yu Ke was caught in a dilemma.
If the battle has just begun, the army of more than a thousand people under his command may be able to serve as the mainstay.
Any army that wants to defeat itself head-on must make careful preparations.
But things are different now.
Now we are in a situation of overwhelming defeat and our own morale is like an avalanche. This is an irreversible situation.
If Chen Bing attacks rashly, he might end up here.
Yu Ke's face was ashen.
As a veteran on the battlefield, he actually suffered such huge losses in the wilderness one after another.
It’s really infuriating.
Yu Ke didn't understand why he was memorizing words like this in the wilderness when he was clearly invincible.
Yu Ke did not realize where his disaster came from.
He simply believed that unruly people came out of poor mountains and rivers, and people in the wilderness were people who did not keep their word.
He didn't think about why this happened.
Now a decision needs to be made.
"Let's withdraw!"
Yu Ke made a decisive decision and chose to retreat.
The current situation has been reversed, and I am absolutely weak and cannot fight in the wild.
Yu Ke planned to return to Longshan and rely on the strong city defense of the Longshan settlement to carry out a stubborn resistance.
Relying on the defense of Longshan City and waiting for Zuo Zhen to lead the main force to return reinforcements, this is all they can do.
…
Just run away!
Yu Ke didn't have any psychological burden. Anyway, this was not the first time he ran away. Victory or defeat was a common thing for military strategists, not to mention that he was already familiar with the road.
Thinking of this, Yu Ke took the lead and ran towards Longshan.
Seeing that the master was about to flee, his subordinates also fled.
In this way, a massive crusade ended in a dramatic way.
It’s really hard to put into words.
…
The battle is over!
The Shoujiang settlement became lively.
In the settlement, Song Ziyu warmly received the leaders of the major settlements.
These people had familiar faces as well as new faces, which made Song Ziyu very emotional.
Everyone greeted Soong Tzuyu and expressed curiosity about Soong Tzuyu's sudden disappearance, but what everyone was most concerned about was what Soong Tzuyu was going to do next.
Song Ziyu smiled and said nothing.
What’s next? Is there any need to say?
Of course I took it back to Longshan.
After meeting with the leaders of the major settlements, Song Ziyu summoned the surrendered officers and representatives of the Longshan Soldiers and asked them for their suggestions.
It can be said that these soldiers were selected and trained by Song Ziyu. Many of the grassroots officers were personally promoted by Song Ziyu. When the military pay was continuously paid, Song Ziyu also personally delivered it to them.
One advantage of the troops trained in this way is that they only have themselves in their eyes, ensuring their absolute loyalty to themselves.
Now, this success is showing.
After hearing Song Ziyu's inquiry, the soldiers expressed their willingness to obey Song Ziyu's lead!
"Boss Song, my brothers will never give a shit about what you say." Officer Lu Weian said swornly.
Song Ziyu remembers this Lu Weian.
In the past, this person was just an ordinary hungry man in Longshan settlement. It is said that he came to Longshan after escaping famine from other settlements.
When Longshan first expanded its military and established a reserve force, Lu Weian was selected into the Hungry People's Reserve through his own efforts and became an archer, specializing in training and handling carbon bows.
Later, Lu Weian participated in the Longshan offensive and defensive battle, resisting the attacks of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group and the Northern Chamber of Commerce.
After the war, Lu Weian was successfully promoted to a qualified Longshan soldier and began to systematically learn and practice firearms.
Then, Lu Weian followed Song Ziyu to sweep the wasteland and fight in the north and south...
By the time Song Ziyu disappeared in Longshan, Lu Weian had become a hard-working squad leader among the Longshan soldiers.
Originally, given Lu Weian's conditions, he might stop here in his life, because he does not belong to the direct lineage of the Ma family, nor does he belong to any other small group.
But it was precisely because of this "innocent" identity that Lu Weian successfully survived the purge led by the Third Division.
Now, with the death of Ma Senming, the influence of the Ma family has rapidly faded in Longshan, replaced by these new generations of soldiers.
In the eyes of these newly promoted basic officers, all they see is Song Ziyu's "reconstruction" of Longshan!
…
With the support of Lu Wei'an and a large number of grassroots officers, Song Ziyu immediately took control of this Longshan warrior.
Song Ziyu reciprocated the favor and immediately promoted a large number of basic officers who supported him, replacing the positions of officers originally stationed in the Third Division.
After completing this series of promotions, Song Ziyu felt that it was not enough and made a lot of mistakes. He promised to give everyone promotions after taking Longshan... Since it was a blank check, he might as well write a few more.
After this series of adjustments, Song Ziyu finally felt at ease.
After winning people's hearts, the next step is to take back Longshan!
Song Ziyu gave a speech and declared in front of the leaders of the settlement that he was bound to win Longshan.
"The enemy invaded us and occupied our land."
"Now we want to take back what is ours."
"This is only natural!"
"The wasteland must be a whole dominated by wasteland people."
"Longshan must be the Longshan of Longshan people."
After a simple morale boost, Song Ziyu waved his hand. Guarded by his headquarters' 3,000 slave troops and 3,000 Longshan soldiers, the troops approached Longshan with black clouds pressing over the city.
Behind Song Ziyu were thousands of troops from other settlements.
These settlements act as Song Ziyu's atmosphere group by watching the excitement and cheering.
…
In the blink of an eye, seventy miles away, Song Ziyu returned to Longshan.
Looking at the towering city wall, Song Ziyu's whole heart was burning.
"Boss Song, do you want to attack the city?"
Lu Weian asked in high spirits, standing next to Song Ziyu.
Song Ziyu glanced at Lu Weian, feeling a little surprised.
It’s hard to understand Lu Weian’s emotions for this city.
Coming from Longshan, shouldn’t we care for this city?
Song Ziyu underestimated the blind worship and fanaticism of these Longshan soldiers.
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Song Ziyu asked Lu Weian.
Lu Weian said without thinking: "The method is simple, look at it, Boss Song."
Lu Weian looked around, pointed at the half-renovated city buildings around him and said: "The surrounding areas are filled with building materials saved for the expansion of the new city. Using these materials, we can quickly build a city ladder to attack the city! Use the city ladder to climb up It’s not difficult to get up to the tower.”
As if to prove his calculation, Lu Weian pointed to the southwest corner of the city wall and said: "I have calculated the angle there. As long as the building fifty meters in front is blown up, the collapsed building will fall on the city wall, forming a natural Bridge...Using the bridge path, we can directly attack the city wall!"
Having said this, Lu Weian clasped his fists and said, "Boss Song, I am willing to personally lead the death squad to carry out the task of seizing the city."
Song Ziyu was slightly surprised when he heard this.
It seems that I need to re-examine Lu Weian.
His ideas are very simple, direct and ruthless.
He doesn't take Longshan's foundation seriously at all.
But his judgment was clear and clear, showing a rare side.
"Have you noticed this? It's really good." Song Ziyu couldn't help but sigh.
When I first built the city wall, I had not considered the development of areas outside the city wall.
As time went by, more and more people from other settlements moved to Longshan and established living areas in the vast areas outside the city wall. This caused the city wall designed by Song Ziyu to lose most of its role...
Hearing Song Ziyu's inquiry, Lu Weian nodded resolutely and said, "To be honest with you, boss, I have been observing the terrain near the city wall for a long time, and I have specifically studied the attack and defense of Longshan."
"Why?" Song Ziyu asked curiously: "Why are you studying this?"
Lu Weian looked at Song Ziyu with firm eyes and replied: "Longshan is our Longshan, it cannot be stolen by those guys from the Steel Alliance! Boss, in fact, we have been waiting for an opportunity. Now that you are back, I think the opportunity has come. !”
Song Ziyu nodded, and then patted Lu Wei'an on the shoulder to encourage him.
…
Encouragement is encouragement.
But Song Ziyu did not adopt Lu Wei'an's strategy.
The reason is simple.
Lu Weian's starting point was very pure, all based on military considerations, simple, direct and cold-blooded decisiveness.
From a military perspective, attacking a city like this is very worthwhile.
But Song Ziyu has a lot to consider.
In Song Ziyu's view, Longshan is his own hard work and the crystallization of his destiny in this apocalyptic world.
How could I bear to destroy it!
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Song Ziyu was not willing to attack by force.
After careful consideration, Song Ziyu decided to persuade him to surrender again.
After personally editing a letter, Song Ziyu ordered a prisoner from the Third Division headquarters to take the letter to Longshan City to meet with Yu Ke.
As the saying goes, there are only three things that can happen.
This is the third time Song Ziyu has written to persuade him to surrender.
In Song Ziyu's view, as long as Yu Ke is not a fool, he should understand his situation, and there is no future for him to resist stubbornly.
At the same time, Song Ziyu will not be idle.
After realizing that his reputation was useful, Song Ziyu ordered people to build several large flags with his name embroidered on them. Then Song Ziyu had people directly prop up the flags with his name, which were enough to hold up the entire Longshan City. People among them saw it.
Finally, Song Ziyu arranged a "social gathering".
Song Ziyu allowed the Longshan soldiers to perform freely. They each walked to a position below the city wall and out of range to shout into the city, and get close to people they knew in the city.
In such a large city, except for the more than a thousand people in the third division who are outsiders, the tens of thousands of people in the city are all locals of Longshan.
The Longshan soldiers came from Longshan, and they were all their fellow villagers in the city. Everyone was very familiar with them, especially the Longshan city defense troops who assisted the third division to garrison the city wall. They were directly moved by the shouts of the soldiers.
…
But at the bottom of the steps, the Longshan soldiers shouted loudly:
"Open the door and stop fighting."
"Longshan people don't fight Longshan people."
"Li Laosan, I'm your Uncle Wang next door."
"Wu Laoer, I'm your brother, why do you have the nerve to point a gun at me?"
The city defense soldier named Wu Laoer took a closer look, and then muttered to the city defense officer: "Sir, the man below is indeed my brother!"
At this time, more and more familiar faces appeared in front of the Longshan defenders, and the officers of the city defense army were dumbfounded.
What exactly is going on?
At this time, a huge flag with the word "Song" written on it was raised, which made many literate people in the city think about it.
"Open the door for me, Boss Song is back!"
"Did you hear me!"
"Wu Laoer, don't go all the way to the dark side and disgrace our family."
"The city defense army listened to the order and opened the door immediately...Song Ziyu is here."
Overwhelming voices shouted Song Ziyu's name.
Suddenly, the whole settlement was resounding.
In the inner city of Longshan City, Gongsun Wan'er, who was sorting documents in the office, vaguely heard the shouts and hurriedly walked out of the room.
Song Ziyu?
Gongsun Wan'er was stunned.
Hot man, he is back! ?
At the top of Longshan Mountain, Chen Youping, who was grafting fruits on saline-alkali land, raised his head and couldn't help but ask: "Why is it so noisy?"
The student next to Chen Youping replied: "Teacher, people outside the city are saying that Song Ziyu is back..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Youping's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Mr. Chen thought of the dangers of traveling to the northwest.
Is he really back?
That's really great.
"That's enough for today. You can go back."
Chen Youping turned around and walked down the mountain.
Chen Youping walked faster and faster, and even started to trot all the way...
In the expanded commercial street of Longshan, Gao Zhongping, wearing sunglasses, was lying on a chair studying an integrated circuit board.
Suddenly the shout of "Song Ziyu" came to my ears.
"Am I hearing hallucinations in my ears?"
Gao Zhongping stood up from his chair, took off his sunglasses, and revealed a pair of green eyes.
In the newly established primary school in Longshan, a little child who was babbling suddenly put away his cynical expression and said to Bai Shaoqing who was teaching on the stage: "Mr. Bai, Soong Ziyu is back."
"Li Xiaoxi, don't be distracted during class time...what did you say?" Bai Shaoqing put down the book and was suddenly stunned.
"Sir, Song Ziyu is back...just outside the city...he can't come in now." The child named Li Xiaoxi said in a surprising way.
Bai Shaoqing had a strange expression on his face, and then he said to the children sitting in the classroom: "get out of class is over first..."
After saying this, Bai Shaoqing walked out of the small classroom.
The teacher suddenly ran away in the middle of class, and all the children in the classroom exploded.
A bald little novice monk from Qianxiang Temple turned to Li Xiaoxi and asked, "Xiaoxi, how did you know there was someone outside the city?"
Li Xiaoxi smiled and said nothing. He would not tell others about the tacit understanding between himself and the plants outside the city.
"How many close friends are there in this world? How many friendships can last forever? Today we part and we shake hands with you. How many close friends are there in this world? Even if we say goodbye today, we will definitely be able to get together again, even if we can't meet..."
In the dungeon of Longshan City, Zhang Dahu leaned against the bars and shouted loudly, as if he planned to take this opportunity to express his unhappiness.
Since the fall of Longshan, the former captain of the Longshan City Defense Team has been locked up in a dungeon with others and has become a prisoner.
"Shut up, Dahu." Chen Tianxing, who was squatting in the small dark room, suddenly showed a strange expression on his face, and his two wind-catching ears flickered.
"I sang a song to express my emotions. I didn't offend you." Zhang Dahu now wants to fuck everyone he sees, and he has a bad temper after being locked up for too long.
At this time, Ma Xiaolong suddenly said: "Uncle Big Tiger, don't talk."
Zhang Dahu suddenly realized something and quickly shut up.
At this time, Tang Jian also came over. Everyone, you look at me and I look at you.
"Did you hear that?"
"What are they shouting?"
"Song Ziyu?"
"They are actually calling Song Ziyu."
"Isn't it an auditory hallucination?"
Everyone was talking about it, could it be that... he is a hot man...?
came back?
