Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 225 Preparing for the Great Retreat

Before Lu Tianhao implemented his plan, Wang Hui sent him a request.

The main force of the National Salvation Army has launched a fierce attack to the south during this period and has captured most of Jianghai Province.

Wang Hui sent a request, asking Lu Tianhao to lead the troops to attack northwards to attack the enemy from both sides and try to take down Jianghai Province as well.

Lu Tianhao certainly did not reject this plot. He did not expect that during the days when he was missing, Wang Hui commanded the National Salvation Army and conquered such a large territory.

According to information from scouts and intelligence personnel, there are only a few hundred thousand enemies left in Jianghai Province.

The National Salvation Army sent by Wang Hui's base camp to attack the enemy has reached more than 20 people.

Even if we do not send troops to attack the enemy from both sides, the enemy's defeat is only a matter of time.

Lu Tianhao is still thinking about taking over Haicheng, and his army has reached more than 20 troops.

Therefore, Lu Tianhao did not send all his troops to attack the enemy from both sides.

Instead, they sent out five army divisions to cooperate with the main force of the National Salvation Army to encircle the enemy in Jianghai Province.

Lu Tianhao ordered the remaining five army divisions and the female army division to march straight to Haicheng.

The top soldiers in the female division and some of the top soldiers in the army division were secretly sent to Haicheng by Lu Tianhao.

Men and women worked together to sneak into Haicheng, waiting for the main force to attack and then attack the enemy from within.

The total number of male and female soldiers who sneaked into Haicheng exceeded 5000.

According to information gathered by scouts and intelligence personnel, there were only more than 20,000 enemy defenders in Haicheng, and more than half of them were auxiliary troops.

The number of enemies who are truly capable of fighting is only about 10,000.

With these 5000 soldiers of the National Salvation Army lurking in Haicheng, when the large force of the National Salvation Army attacks, it will be easy to eliminate the enemies in the city.

The enemies in Kyoto Prefecture also learned about Lu Tianhao's series of arrangements and the advance of the main force of the National Salvation Army.

In the command center, the commanders of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces gathered together and were having an intense discussion.

Miller looked a little anxious. "Let's retreat quickly. It might be too late if we retreat any later."

Brady also spoke up, "We are now in Jianghai Province where only one-third of the territory is left, and the surrounding areas are already filled with troops of the National Salvation Army.

The only way for us to escape now is by sea. If this route is also blocked by the National Salvation Army, then we will just have to wait for death."

Kyoto Prefecture was once the capital of Tianlong Kingdom and is also the capital of Jianghai Province. Its importance is self-evident.

The National Salvation Army now has the ability to take over Kyoto Prefecture, and they will definitely not miss this opportunity.

The bandits and the village officials of the multinational coalition forces were also very clear about this. Kyoto Prefecture, where they were now, was definitely the main target of attack by the National Salvation Army.

Zuochuan Hideta shook his head and said, "Now that our joint fleet has arrived, I believe they will launch an attack soon.

If we withdraw now, the port of Kyoto Prefecture will definitely be lost.

Without the port of Kyoto Prefecture as a springboard, how will our combined fleet anchor?

Therefore, without the retreat order from our headquarters, we cannot retreat now."

Miller said angrily, "I don't care whether you Haisang country withdraws or not. I will withdraw with the troops I brought with me.

We don't want to die here with you.

All our troops added together now only have about 150,000 or 160,000 troops left.

Do you know how many troops of the National Salvation Army are attacking us now?

The number of troops sent by the Northern National Salvation Army to attack us alone reached over 20.

We can no longer resist the 20-strong National Salvation Army.

Now there is a force formed by the Marshal of the National Salvation Army who is eyeing us covetously.

We don't know exactly how many people there are in this army formed by the National Salvation Army, but we estimate that there are at least 100,000 people.

Now their troops are also approaching us, preparing to besiege us.

We are now facing more than 30 troops of the National Salvation Army.

I think everyone here is well aware of the fighting power of the National Salvation Army.

We are no match for them in a one-on-one situation. Now they have at least twice as many troops as we do. How can we fight this battle?

I don't care what you think. Wait a minute, I will lead the joint forces formed by our country to retreat.

Now that I know it's a dead end, I won't stay here with you to die."

Brady also spoke up, “I will also lead the coalition forces we formed in the West to retreat.

This kind of unequal battle is clearly a suicide mission.

We come to Tianlong Country to gain benefits, not to die in vain.

General Zuochuan, if your Haisang troops are willing to hold on, then you should stay here.

I will lead our combined forces with General Miller to retreat by sea."

The bandit generals were dumbfounded.

Now, of the 150,000 to 160,000 troops they have left, almost half are from the multinational coalition.

If these 70,000 to 80,000 troops withdraw, only their Haisang country's 70,000 to 80,000 troops will be left.

Among the 70,000 to 80,000 troops from the three sea countries, there are nearly 20,000 auxiliary troops.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the auxiliary army.

The most important thing is that once the battle starts, as long as their side loses, these auxiliary troops will definitely surrender.

If things go wrong, these auxiliary troops may rebel, and we will give them a severe blow from behind.

In addition, most of the hundreds of aircraft left in the south are from the multinational coalition.

Once their planes withdraw, there will be no protection at all in the air.

Once the National Salvation Army launches a joint land and air attack on them, the 70,000 to 80,000 troops they have left may not even be able to fight back.

All the bandit leaders fell into silence.

Brady saw this and advised, “General Zuochuan, let’s retreat quickly while we have a large number of ships at the port of Kyoto Prefecture.

If the National Salvation Army's navy attacks us from the sea again, we will be unable to escape."

The bandit generals were tempted. If they didn't retreat now, they would be surrounded by the National Salvation Army and would be dead.

Just then, a communications soldier urgently delivered a piece of intelligence.

After reading it, Zuochuan Hideta showed a look of horror on his face.

Brady and Miller also quickly took the information, and after reading it, a look of horror appeared on their faces.

Miller said loudly, "We must retreat quickly without wasting a moment. If we are any later, none of us will be able to escape."

The bandits and other commanders of the multinational coalition forces didn't understand what was going on. After they read the intelligence one by one, they were all terrified.
