Chen Zhongren announced that he had stepped down from the world, and the one he felt most painful was Xu Seoul, because in order to support the Chen clan, he directly caused heavy casualties in his direct troops and lost Jiujiang City.

But the Battle of Jiujiang had just ended, but Chen Zhongren announced that he would quit and handed over the troops to his son...

Isn’t this bullying honest people?

No matter how ridiculed it, objectively speaking, the entire southern battlefield contributed the most to the overall situation, and the one who clearly deployed the combat was Xu Seoul. But in the torrent of the great era, Xu Seoul was unable to make up for the good! He could not use his own efforts to truly bond the fragile alliance between the Chen and Zhou dynasties, so the decline in the southern battlefield had spread unstoppable.

Xu Hancheng walked out of the ward and stood on the rooftop with a cane, allowing the cold wind to blow his white hair. He looked at Lu Huai, who was lit for a long time and said, "...The Zhou family's lights... I don't know how long it will be lit!"

Inside the Zhou Dynasty headquarters.

Zhou Xingli looked haggard, with a collar open, and sat on the chair in the office. After a long time of rest, he issued the latest combat order: "Order the frontier troops to continue to hold on, and win the withdrawal time for... for the ambush troops around Nanshanghai who were attacked by the Chen-style Mingzhu warship."

...

Frontal battlefield.

Ruan Ming's troops once again increased their offensive efforts, and the Lincheng troops on the side finally started to push forward on a large scale after learning that the Battle of South and Shanghai had ended.

Two corps of tens of thousands of people were working hard on the front battlefield and advancing forward at all costs.

The frontier troops of the Zhou clique could not withstand it at all. Lin Cheng's troops and Li Zhan's troops jointly attacked fiercely. After more than five hours of fierce fighting, the Zhou clique could only withdraw from the frontier defense zone and shrink to the second defense zone.

At this time, Ruan Ming, who had been waiting for the appearance of the fighter plane, immediately issued an order to the frontier combat troops: "You move, hurry up. I have no other requirements now. The first contribution to breaking the Zhou Frontier Corps must be ours."

"clear!"

After the phone hung up, Ruan Ming immediately said to the people from the combat department: "Remove the command center and continue moving forward, hurry!"

...

The peripheral defense zone was completely in chaos at this moment, because the troops that were dispersed at the front all needed to enter the Second Defense Zone to regroup and restore combat power. However, in this way, the lost positions on the front and the Second Defense Zone were filled with small groups of retreating troops everywhere, making it very difficult to identify the defenders in the defense zone.

In the peripheral defense zone near Antaizhuang, a battalion of troops was stationed in the trenches, and the military transportation road next to it was completely martial law.

In the command position, the battalion commander smoked cigarettes and drank white wine, and said with a red face: "It's all my heart. As mentioned above, any officers and soldiers who left the guards without authorization in this battle... were caught and shot directly, without any room for relief."

"Old Niu, I heard that the Nanhu side is over?"

"Yes." The battalion commander nodded.

"Damn it, this Chen Zhongqi is really our pig teammate!" The officer gritted his teeth and cursed: "...Damn it, he didn't accomplish anything serious."

"He was too anxious. He was afraid that Chen Zhongren would give the troops to his son directly and then let the people from Chuan Mansion kill him, so he was eager to advise him." The battalion commander saw it very thoroughly: "This may be fate!"

While the two were chatting, more than 20 military vehicles suddenly appeared on the military transportation road, including armored vehicles, trucks and military off-road, which looked very complicated.

When the battalion commander saw the lights on the road, he immediately led his troops to meet them, and stood cautiously in the defense zone and shouted, "What aspect?"

"The Third Company of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Ninth Army." An officer got out of the front chariot and shouted with a neck pull.

"Come on, come here yourself." The battalion commander shouted.

When the officer heard the sound, he immediately walked into the defense zone, saluted and shouted: "Hello, sir!"

"Correction!" asked the battalion commander.

"...The Zhou clan will win in the Battle of Pearl!" The questioned officer replied in a serene manner.

After hearing the commander's correct command, his expression calmed down a little: "I don't know who thought about this command. It's so damn ironic. Mingzhu is already cold..."

"Yes, our army is also very passive on the frontier battlefield." The company commander replied.

"Where did you get from?"

"Nianzhuang."

"Who is your second battalion commander?"

"Yang Han."

"Well...!" After asking several questions in succession, the battalion commander took the initiative to ask: "What is the situation in the frontier battlefield now?"

"The main force of the corps was broken, and the upper level ordered us to evacuate on our own, so all the troops retreated. We originally wanted to retreat with the Xiong'an defenders, but before we could arrive... they were defeated and dispersed, so our company retreated from this side."

"Oh, how many of you still have?"

"About eighty people, some of them were injured."

"Okay, then you fill out a form and go over." The battalion commander waved his hand and shouted at his people: "Come here and record it!"

Ten minutes later, the soldiers of this company successfully passed through the Second Defense Zone.

...

The other end.

A platoon of soldiers was also stopped outside the defense zone of the second road of the Zhou Dynasty.

A group leader of the Zhou system asked at the platoon leader who wanted to pass: "Command!"

"The Battle of Pearl, the Zhou clan will win!"

"What's the company commander of the Third Company of the 3rd Battalion of your 3rd Regiment?"

"Dong Cheng."

"What is the predecessor number of your group?" the leader asked again.

The platoon leader was stunned when he heard this.

"I'll ask you, what is the predecessor number of your army?!" the regiment commander looked at him and asked.

"This...this...I really forgot. I was transferred to the third regiment." The platoon leader felt sweat on his forehead.

"Come on, bring your military communication equipment and let's connect to the electronic secret order." The regiment commander said very cautiously.

"Okay, hehe." The platoon leader turned around and touched the gun holster with his right hand unconsciously, pulled his neck and shouted at his soldier: "Come on, get the communication equipment..."

"Kang!"

The sniper on the back shot the platoon leader to death.

"They are disguised by the enemy, beat me!" The regiment commander shouted with a pulling neck.

On the military vehicle, all the disguised Sichuan Provincial Scouts rushed out of the car. The deputy platoon leader held a gun and shouted: "The bullshit Zhou army will win! Listen to me, the second platoon will not have a coward in my Sichuan army. We will attack the enemy with me!!"

"kill!"

The sound of gunfire rang out in the wilderness. After a platoon of Sichuan soldiers was exposed, they chose to exchange fire with the other party when they knew they could not retreat.

The commander of the Zhou clan squatted in the pit, holding the communication equipment and shouted: "All units, please note that the enemy's disguised troops are infiltrating our second defense zone..."

...

Ruan Ming's command car.

"The second platoon of the third regiment of the old regiment is gone, and all the staff members are sacrificed." The Chief of Staff reported to Ruan Minghui.
