It stands to reason that when the war reached this point, Simon would have negotiated with Canglong, but Simon unexpectedly wanted to fight with Heichang to the death. Not only did he not mention negotiations, but he saved the remaining 20,000 troops from Dekar. He also dispatched them all, and he must completely annihilate the Prophet Army field division led by Heichang.
What prompted him to do all this was his strong unwillingness. Who would be willing to let a famous general be led by a military idiot?
So Badr and the others became worried again. Now there are 100,000 troops in Maysan Province. Although the previous 50,000 people were dispersed, there must be at least 78,000 or 80,000 people gathered together, which is Heichang. Seven or eight times as much as the person. As long as he is dragged down, there is basically no way to survive. After all, Heichang has been running with people all night, and his physical strength may not be able to support it.
And Simon finally found Heichang's weakness, because he actually played his cards according to common sense. He had a target, which was the super oil field in Maysan Province, so Simon carefully gathered his troops around the super oil field and deployed After entering the pocket array, wait for Heichang to get in here.
No matter whether it is the front or the back, as long as Heichang gets in, he will end up being wiped out. Heichang doesn't know how to think. The biggest shortcoming is that he cannot know that it is a trap.[
"I will be here and wipe out all your troops." Simon looked at his masterpiece proudly.
This sentence was obviously meant for Canglong. Even Susu was a little worried this time, but Canglong got up and finished his breakfast, still drinking his coffee with a calm face: "We'll see."
But two hours later, the battle report Simon received was that 10,000 people from the Prophet Army had disappeared. They did not attack this super oil field, nor did they turn back to fight them. Instead, they went in the most dangerous direction. This The place is the north.
Then Sadr in Misan Province reported that they completely lost traces of the Prophet's Army. The Prophet's Army entered the mountains, but the Prophet's Army still left traces. For example, they brought enough water and food to the only city where they stayed. .
"What does he want to do when he goes north?" Simon didn't understand. He looked at Canglong but didn't ask anything, but was thinking.
To the north of Misan Province is Wasit Province, which is close to the capital Baghdad. The Baath Party only controls half of Wasit Province, while the other half is controlled by the security forces and the US military. If Wherever the prophet army went north, they were almost seeking death.
Even if Simon doesn't deal with them, the Americans will deal with them mercilessly. Simon already understands Heichang's character at this time, so he still believes in such a stupid strategy of going north.
At this point, Simon calmed down again: "If your troops continue to move north, they will encounter security forces and the US military. Don't blame me for not reminding you that they have no chance of survival when they encounter the US military. If you let them surrender on the spot now, and It's not too late to agree to my request."
"The battle hasn't ended yet, why are you so anxious?" Canglong said with a smile, "What's more, I can't contact the commander of the field division."
Simon finally knew the number of his opponent this time. The Field Division of the Prophet Army was also the main force of the Prophet Army. Canglong was right. With the idiot character of this commander, it was impossible to surrender on the spot. Simon still understood. Canglong meant it, but Canglong said that the war was not over yet. Could it be that he had other plans.
"Do you have to watch all your troops being slaughtered by the US military before the war is over?" Simon said coldly, "If that's the case, then I will help you."
With that said, Simon left some troops to clean up the mess in Misan Province, and all other troops were pressed at the border of Wasit Province. As long as Heichang turns back, Simon will immediately clean up everything, even if he doesn't turn back. It would be completely wiped out by the US military, and he felt that there was no third way to go.
Badr became anxious and persuaded: "Prophet, just negotiate. Maybe there will be hope."
Canglong ignored him and just drank coffee silently. At this time, his expression was a bit solemn, but he was saying in his heart: "I hope I am right."
Chiram and Assad didn't speak. In their eyes, although the loss of 10,000 troops was still worth the loss, at least they could still be reorganized, as long as Canglong was willing to negotiate, and they had been sitting here for so long. , actually understood that Cang Long wanted to negotiate, but he was stubborn and insisted on finishing the battle before negotiating, and they couldn't persuade him.
There will not be many battle reports next. The Ba'ath Party is not an American. It has manned aircraft and satellites that can detect everything in Iraq. The Ba'ath Party's communication equipment is very old. This also caused the Prophet's Army to completely disappear after they went north. Right under Simon's nose.
Although the mountainous area in central Iraq is not very high in altitude, it is still very rugged. Entering an army of 10,000 people is like an ant burrowing into a crowd and cannot be found at all.
Time passed little by little, until the next night, Simon finally got a piece of news, but this news shocked him. Heichang's troops not only did not enter the sphere of influence of the security forces, nor did they look back, but they made a The great detour leads from the mountainous area to the western province of Qadisiya, which happens to be next to the province of Dekal.
Yes, Hei Chang came back with his troops, but he came back from Dekal Province, and now the troops from Dekal Province have been sent to the border of Maysan Province, and it will probably take a day to get back. time, but when they received the news, the Prophet's Army had already entered the central part of Dhaka Province, and in less than five hours, they would be able to reach Basra.[
Simon couldn't help but be shocked, because he had determined that the commander of the Prophet Army was an idiot who didn't even have military knowledge. How could such an idiot lead the army to make a huge detour, unless this person was really a famous general? And it is far beyond his command level.
But is this commander who fought the war in a mess really a famous general? He didn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it even if he was killed. But when the Prophet's Army entered Qadir Province, behind him, there was a In fact, he has sent people to confirm many times. He only has five hours. Now he may be captured alive if he does not evacuate.

No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to bring back the troops unless he has the airlift capability of the US military. Unfortunately, he does, and the poor will soon fall into ruin.
Finally he looked at Canglong: "How on earth did he do it?"
"You can think that he is a military idiot, but you can't deny his loyalty to me. In his eyes, my safety is far more important than this war, so he is just being an idiot and knowing that I am still in danger. Sometimes, he would rush back to save me. This was the only thing he could think about, so he chose to take a big detour and save me quickly." Canglong said calmly.
Although this reason was far-fetched, Simon believed it: "I lost, I lost to you, and I lost to this idiot, but he still deserves my respect. At least he can win this war for you."
What surprised Bader was that Simon actually evacuated, and also used Canglong's life to threaten Heichang who was about to arrive. He chose to give up and failed, which was beyond his imagination.
However, Canglong understood very well why Simon would do this. Because he was a famous general, he did not bother to make such resistance. Another reason was because he knew that even if he killed Canglong, it would only provoke the most terrible revenge from the Prophet Army.
, since Canglong has clearly told him that the commander is loyal to Canglong, then he will most likely choose crazy revenge.
Simon would not choose to face a madman, not to mention that his ultimate purpose in doing all this is just to force Canglong to negotiate. Basra with Canglong is no longer Basra. Simon understands this deeply.
"You lost, and I lost, both to the Americans." Canglong smiled bitterly and shook his head. If the Americans had concerns, Simon would never have been able to play like this with Canglong, and Canglong played like this because he understood Simon
, if Simon were replaced by a stupid commander, such as Special Envoy Fessam, I am afraid that the Baath Party would have desperately invaded Basra now.
It's a pity that Simon is Simon. He has the ability and concerns of a famous general. He can easily invade Basra, but he knows the consequences of attacking Basra.
So even if he knew that Canglong was so dishonest, he still stuck to the bottom line in his heart and would never go too far. For this alone, Canglong admired Simon very much.
At least in terms of strategy, Simon is a person who cares about the overall situation, while Canglong is a clear villain.
But as Canglong said before the war, there are villains and great men in war, and there are only winners and losers. Canglong has Canglong's considerations, and Simon has Simon's considerations.
Heichang was much earlier than him. It only took him three hours to enter the town of Mahar in Basra from the central part of Qadir Province and quickly surrounded it.
When Canglong saw Hei Chang, he only gave him one order: "I'm safe, go back and rest."
Although Heichang was very tired, he still smiled back at Canglong: "Hey."
"The war is over, we can negotiate." Canglong said calmly at the negotiation table. It was already noon on the third day.
Simon nodded, showing some admiration for Canglong. If Canglong was really a villain, then Simon would have been arrested immediately if he stayed here. But Canglong did not do this, and instead made the prophet army withdraw.
Basra Governorate.
The content of the negotiation is also very simple. Canglong can provide the Baath Party with what it needs, but it will never form an alliance with them. In fact, the Prophet Army has indeed provided supplies to the Baath Party in the past. For example, with the support of Iran, Canglong asked Ali
Dai went to Iran to persuade Zheng Fu.
As for the relationship becoming so tight later, it was not Canglong's fault, but driven by interests. After all, Missan Province still has so much oil.
But in this negotiation, Canglong promised to add another item to the original help, such as the supply of food and commodities.[
Basra is now self-sufficient, and has a port to trade with the outside world, making it easy to buy food, but the Baath Party is different.
The negotiation ends after a series of non-aggression agreements are added. In fact, everyone knows that these are limited to the agreement and can be torn up at any time in a real environment.
But Canglong believes that as long as Simon is still the military commander of the Baath Party, he will always be willing to become his own barrier, even if he knows that he cannot expel the Americans at all.
