In 663, the state of countries in the Eastern Continent also reached a critical point.

After hundreds of years of consumption, the countries have become exhausted, their systems have failed, and their economy has gone bankrupt. Of course, there is also a contribution from the sandstorm.

Penghai is the last force that can balance the situation on the mainland - after the Cuiyu Port Rebellion, not only did the national organizational strength be cut off by half, but also allowed all countries to see clearly that in the face of the turbulent world pattern, Penghai is not restrained, but has no ability at all. When major powers conquer each other, they no longer have to worry about Penghai.

Now is the time for Taiyun.

In June 663, when the summer sun just rose, Taiyun launched a battle against Sisi in the north.

In summer, after days of exposure to the sun, the muddy soil in the north has been strong and strong. Pure steel tracks crushed the yellow mud ground, raising violent dust.

Although this war was a bit hasty for Taiyun, the internal strife of the alliance made Sisi unable to concentrate on the west.

The three armored divisions of Taiyun were divided into fifteen assault groups. Within an hour, they broke through the western defense line of Sisi. Cities were divided. While such a large-scale armored soldiers raid, the Dragon Guards of Taiyun Empire once again went deep into the abdomen of the Zong Alliance and cut off the possible reinforcements of the Zong Alliance against Sisi.

Ballistic missiles were launched in the area of ​​the Gushan Fortress, and directly attacked the rear transportation hub in Sixi under the guidance of the Great Wall in front.

There was nothing to resist in Sisi. The Zhao family of Shangqing family of the Sisi Republic issued an order to mobilize troops to the rear, but no one even obeyed it.

The legions in the east of Sixi directly took their territory to Hanshan. No one was willing to go to the west to fight Taiyun.

Hanshan, which was blocked by Sixi, panicked after receiving the news. The Shangqings of Hanshan had not thought about the situation where Sixi collapsed and faced Taiyun's Bingfeng.

[The upper level of Hanshan is now discussing fiercely on the phone line, but has not given any valuable suggestions to the front line]

Among the fortresses in the north.

Shangguan Deyang was walking in a corridor with a red carpet with a large number of landscape paintings hanging on both sides, and behind him was his daughter Shangguan Qiming.

The servant pushed open the mahogany door and walked to the Nanmu table.

A senior officer spreads out the map in front of him.

Deyang looked carefully at the map, turned his head and scolded his daughter, "What's going on? Why are our country's defense arrangements on the Eastern Front so few?"

Shangguan Qiming whispered: "My defensive facilities have been slackened in the Eastern Front for decades."

Shangguan Deyang interrupted violently: "Nonsense! I saw that every year I allocate funds to maintain the Eastern Front."

Shangguan Qiming showed embarrassment on his face. Hanshan allocated funds every year, but when there was no threat in the east, he did not check the cost of each allocation.

In the feudal officialdom, the so-called water is as clear as it will be without fish.

In a place where everyone thinks there is no need to investigate strictly, and implementing strict laws will evolve into a situation where the entire organization fights and does not do anything.

You should know that the generals of the feudal army were more loyal than righteous. You should check me frequently. If you have any objections to me, how can I get closer to you? If Shangguan Qiming investigates too strictly, the cohesion of the entire eastern army will become weaker.

However, if you don’t have to investigate strictly, it will become like this now. The funds above nourish the vested interest groups.

Shangguan Deyang looked at his daughter's expression, understood everything, raised his finger and said, "You, you. What do I say to you?"

Shangguan Qiming: "The good news is that the Eastern Legion of Sisi has obeyed our command."

Shangguan Deyang pushed away the officer in front of him with a palm: "Hahaha, this is the worst news I have heard this year and the funniest joke. A group of people who have no courage to defend their country are now looking for us to protect us. And you stupid girl still count on these cowards."

Shangguan Deyang roared: "After fighting in the northern war for so many years, no one has noticed Sisi's situation, no one has seen Taiyun's ambition?"

Deyang's anger made the surroundings silent. It was not that no one saw it, but that after the Battle of Weishui, someone mentioned it like this, but no one dared to admit that the only general who led his troops to curb Taiyun's military operation was hidden. In fact, everyone knows the hidden dangers, but no one knows that the bubble will burst so quickly.

...

Didi, the signal on Shangguan Deyang's arm rang. He turned on the communication. After seeing Lu Ming, the frost on his face faded.

Shangguan Deyang said with concern: "Lu Ming, how is your situation?"

Seven hundred kilometers away, outside the capital of Sisi, the air was filled with smog, and tank tracks were ruts, showing the slaughter here. Drones falling in the sky showed that the two Great Walls were fighting fiercely in this airspace.

Lu Ming, wearing the mechanical suit of the Dragon Guard, sensed the area where the three Great Walls of Taiyun, which were 50 kilometers away, was unfolding.

He said seriously: "Shangguan, the situation is very bad now. Taiyun has three Great Walls, and they are trying to encircle me. Three armored divisions are approaching 50 kilometers away."

Lu Ming opened the map he observed, pointed to the load-loaded vehicles in three huge smoke tank convoys on the map and explained the situation, and asked: "The Taiyun convoy carries a large number of short-range guided missiles and drones. Once it arrives, Taiyun's Great Wall will gain the advantage of firepower and air supremacy. When will our mechanized troops arrive?"

In the fortress, officers beside Deyang helped Deyang expand the map. Deyang looked at the location of his mechanized troops on the map and Lu Ming's location. He took a deep breath and said, "Retreat eastward for 300 kilometers."

Lu Ming, who was on the front line, stopped his mechanical tail and inserted it into the ground. He curbed his anger and asked in the communication: "What should I do with the capital of Sisi?"

Deyang's helpless and resolute order came from the communication: "Give up."

...

Two minutes later

After Lu Ming finished the communication, he asked Su Deng Guangling: "Master, what should we do now?"

Su Deng: "Don't ask me, if you want to be a hero, go boldly. Don't worry, you are looking for death now, and you will not sacrifice and be scolded like your father. You are blocking Taiyun now, and the nobles of Hanshan will definitely award you a hero medal to encourage future generations to follow suit. They are so anxious now."

Lu Ming sneered: "You mean, they are anxious and afraid, so they are not stingy in verbal recognition. They dare not slander them anymore, right? What a great grace."

Su Deng Guangling nodded and said, "Of course, if you don't become this hero, they will try harder to praise you."

Lu Ming: "Why?"

Su Deng: "You are the Great Wall. Living people are more useful than dead people. Of course they want to curry favor with you."

Lu Ming thought for a few seconds, and the communication on his arm sent a message to his Dragon Guard's Guard to retreat. A few minutes later, the guard began to retreat decisively. Lu Ming directed the air drone to cut off his team and finally retreated.

Su Deng cultivated a Great Wall, but this Great Wall was not from Hanshan. Perhaps it was originally from Hanshan, but the ministers and ministers of Hanshan could not give convincing justice and let Lu Ming be loyal.

After Lu Ming retreated, forty-five kilometers away

Here, the Great Wall, wearing black Dragon Guard armor, sensed the retreat in the east domain. He breathed a sigh of relief under the black face armor. Amid the sound of electronic communication, a female voice like a silver bell came from the Dragon Guard mecha.

Hua Yi (Great Wall, 32 years old): "Hanshan Great Wall has retreated and can launch a general attack in half an hour."

Three hours ago, Lu Ming's presence shocked and attached great importance to Taiyun's attacker.

Because Lu Ming's field was opened for twenty-three hours in a row, he restrained the seven Great Walls of Taiyun and the three-day attack process of 170,000 troops within a range of 700 kilometers.

The existence of a top war general like Lu Ming will seriously restrain Taiyun's siege, so Taiyun sent several Great Walls to try to expel Lu Ming. However, Lu Ming has been dealing with them in the war zone. Many Great Walls were at a disadvantage in the locked and locked contest.

Now that Lu Ming left early, Taiyun didn't dare to relax immediately.

After Hua Yi reported, he immediately led the Long Guards team to move eastward. Following Lu Ming, the two sides gradually opened a hundred kilometers apart. Taiyun's Great Wall did not dare to get too close, and watched Lu Ming leave like an escort.

[Six hours later, Taiyun's battle against Sisi began]

On the land of Sisi, armored vehicles arrived at the traffic node with the tanks, and then the military vehicles transporting troops and the military vehicles tow artillery drove from the highway to Sisi's fortress.

Thousands of heavy artillery with a caliber of 150 mm have kicked off the prelude to the battle. In this era, the Dragon Guard's guided heavy missiles can only strike important targets such as the radar station of the fortress. In the vast space, relying on tunnels dug by the mountain and the anti-aircraft artillery holes built still require a large number of shells to smash.

Within a range of 500 kilometers, on a long defensive position, artillery vented the destruction of this era.

During the Battle of Weishui, the Taiyun Empire tried to annihilate the living forces of the Zongmeng Alliance. At that time, as long as the 60% of the Zongmeng Alliance's mobile corps were put into one pot, all the strategic points of Sixi turned the lack of troops into isolated points. Today's war was to directly smash all defense facilities with heavy artillery.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of shells poured into various positions, and large-scale artillery plowed the ground. These were rows of shells bombed over. Under the action of the shell shock wave, hiding in the trench is useless. Concrete fortifications must be built underground to defend against the shock waves caused by heavy shells on the surface.

After the shells swept over, Taiyun's soldiers quickly rushed to the trench positions around Sisi's various defensive fortresses with submachine guns and shotguns.

If Sisi's soldiers are highly morale and the grassroots officers on defense are of high quality and accurate judgment, they will quickly enter the trench position after the bullets are swept over, preventing Taiyun's soldiers from seizing the trench. However, Sisi's army's morale has collapsed to zero. After the communications of various armies are cut off, Sisi's army is filled with defeatism and surrenderism.

During the heavy artillery bombardment that lasted for several hours, Sisi's army was hiding in a concrete anti-aircraft hole like quails, and finally blocked the hole by Taiyun soldiers who rushed up.

If, according to the thinking of people in the peace era in the 21st century, soldiers on the superior side face these anti-aircraft holes, if they uphold humanitarianism, they should first shout and persuade the soldiers inside to surrender.

But after so many years of war, Taiyun's soldiers had formed narrow racism. Many Taiyun's soldiers looked at the entrance of the cave morbidly, then called their own flames and squirted flames at the entrance of the cave, and then laughed at the people inside and cried and struggled to crawl out.

The most terrifying thing about war is that people are accustomed to killing and torture. Too much flesh and blood and killing have become numb. It seems that only the extreme pain of the opponent can arouse inner fun.

War makes people numb to pain, and under a numb mentality, they begin to become cruel without realizing it. For these Taiyun soldiers, the same kind in the barbecue anti-cannon holes, are like boiling ants.

Taiyun's tiger and wolf troops quickly compressed Sisi's defensive positions under the cover of artillery fire. For Sisi's commanders in the fortress, the gunshots were getting closer and closer, and the terror was getting closer and closer. These officers successively fired white flags and began to surrender.

On September 7, 663, with the fall of Handan City, Sixi was destroyed.
