Chapter 2218 escape
The Feng faction fled to the seventh district, and the Sichuan army at Beifengkou began to fight outward in an all-round way. The eighth district added nearly 70,000 troops to the port of Lukou. The battle situation has been completely reversed. The only remaining He faction and Lu faction are obviously unable to make up for the situation.
Lukou Port, Hecheng.
Xue Huaili frowned and looked at He Chong, whispering: "The troops from District 8 have come from Xinhekou, and the Lu family has also fallen into a hard battle in Fengbei. It is not much of a significance for us to continue to persevere. We must withdraw."
He Chong was extremely unwilling to accept this because he knew very well that as long as the He team retreated now, it would be meaningless for the free troops to continue fighting at Beifengkou. As long as they retreated, they would end in a complete failure of this civil war.
"Don't hesitate. If we continue to procrastinate, we will be attacked by more than 100,000 troops at the Port of Rukou. Even if the Freemason makes a breakthrough at the Beifengkou, it will be difficult for us to persevere until they enter the mainland and provide reinforcements to us." Xue Huaili paused for a moment and persuaded softly: "Xiao Chong, stay with the green mountains, don't be afraid of burning firewood! Once you are defeated and captured, you will lose nothing."
He Chong looked at Xue Huaili after hearing the sound: "... Yes... But where can we retreat now? Do you also go to District 7? Do you think the door will be opened there? The Feng family and the sand family have all passed. Can Zhou Xingli and Xu Seoul balance this relationship well?"
"Don't think about what they will do first, please contact me first." Xue Huaili whispered.
Although He Chong was unwilling to accept it, he also knew that retreating now was the most rational choice. If he continued to persevere, when the army in District 8 arrived, the He faction would be completely wiped out if it was not a good cause.
"Okay, I'll contact the seventh district." He Chong nodded.
...
Along the coast of Lukou Port.
Feng Ji was commanding the final evacuation troops to board the ship. The entire inner harbor looked in chaos, filled with shouts and soldiers carrying arms.
Not far away, Feng Lei ran over with a panic look and shouted in panic: "Captain, Commander!"
Feng Ji turned his head and frowned and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"Meng Xi's side is completely out of touch. I have called many times, but he hasn't answered." Feng Lei responded to look at his father.
Feng Ji clenched his fists unconsciously: "Have you called Yu Nian?"
"He won't take it anymore," Feng Lei shook his head.
After saying that, Feng Ji's mouth twitched for a moment, and after a long silence, he said, "You should board the ship with the army first!"
"Dad, Meng Xi must be playing the game." Feng Lei said in a low voice with red eyes: "Our large army has boarded the ship. If he doesn't answer the phone, he may want to...!"
"You get on the boat first." Feng Ji interrupted impatiently, "Let's go first!"
"Dad, this matter was guaranteed by Feng Yunian, and he kept persuading us to surrender..." Feng Lei was still talking.
"I'll let you board the ship!" Feng Ji completely lost his patience and almost roared.
Feng Lei looked at his father's reaction and suddenly realized that his thoughts might be right, or rather, Feng Ji might have thought that this might happen.
"Go on the boat!" Feng Ji waved his hand powerlessly.
Feng Lei lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he turned around and walked towards the evacuation ship, while murmuring: "...How could it be like this!"
Feng Ji stood in the noisy inner harbor, looking at the soldiers and officers walking around with his eyes, feeling extremely sad!
It is obvious that his father Feng Chengzhang could not come back. Meng Xi was waiting for their large troops to board the ship first, then tear down the agreement and execute Lao Feng. At this time, even if Feng Ji was anxious, he was unable to fight back.
This result is actually not difficult for Feng Ji. Since the civil war broke out, his father Feng Chengzhang's ambition and prospects were engraved on his face. In this defeat, except for the 20,000 defenders lost by Songjiang, the other main forces of the Feng faction were not completely defeated. If Meng Xi asked Feng Chengzhang to the seventh district, it would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain.
Once politicians like Feng Chengzhang join forces with Xu Seoul, Zhou Xingli and others, there is a possibility of a comeback in the future!
This is a huge hidden danger. It is impossible for Meng Xi to see it, and it is also impossible for Qin Yu to see it.
Secondly, this civil war is different from the conventional warlords' struggle for power, because it also involves the intervention of many external forces, such as free agency, EU zone 1, etc. The nature of the war has changed, not just a simple internal contradiction, but a counterattack war with a fighting spirit.
As a local warlord force that led foreign troops into the pass, the Feng clan must pay the price for it. The leader Feng Chengzhang is one of the decision-makers. If he does not die, how will the civil war end? If the Sichuan Mansion arrests Feng Chengzhang and releases him, how can he give an explanation to the people of the world? Because you all released him due to interests in the war criminals who entered the pass. What justice does the Sichuan Mansion have when fighting a civil war?
With Meng Xi's IQ, he could not see these factors, so Feng Ji had foreseeable results for his old man. In other words, from the moment Feng Chengzhang was arrested in Songjiang, Feng Ji felt it was difficult for him to come back...
But why did Feng Ji agree to the conditions offered by the Feng faction and decide to withdraw his troops?
Because he was completely pessimistic about the prospects of the war, the intervention of the Forest Army troops in the Eighth District made him see a great possibility of defeat. Even if he continued to fight, he felt that it would be difficult for He Feng and Lu to turn the situation around.
If this is the case, it is meaningless to let the soldiers fight desperately, because if an old man in his sixties or seventies fights a war with a fundamental victory rate and continues to struggle, the decision-maker will appear very stupid, and the Feng faction may be completely annihilated and disappear into history. Therefore, the Feng faction chose to welcome some of his own captured officers first...
More than an hour later.
The troops had all boarded the ship. Feng Ji stood on the deck and looked at the northeast direction, feeling extremely sad. He saluted Songjiangyao and gritted his teeth and said, "Drive the ship!"
...
In the Xibo no man's land.
Several military vehicles were driving in the dark field. He Dachuan sat in the carriage, looked up at Lin Xiao and asked, "Can these guys believe it?"
"It should be no problem." Lin Xiao replied in a low voice.
"That's fine!" He Dachuan nodded.
While the two were talking, the convoy suddenly slowed down. The officer in the front car looked up at the checkpoint at the fork in front of him, and reached out to knock on the iron plate on the back of the cab.
After hearing the sound, Lin Xiao immediately stood up and said, "Everyone is quiet, maybe you have encountered a checkpoint!"
