"This is the first battle in the true sense. We can't retreat, but it's not the time to fight hard yet. I have a sense of discretion."
Li Chaokang noticed Gao Shan's firm eyes and knew that he could not persuade him, so he said no more.
Gao Shan reminded again: "Don't tell your sister-in-law, let her evacuate with this group of people. Also, you will lead the team yourself this time, and you must be careful along the way."
Gao Shan was worried that there would be retaliation from the Heavenly Beings, so it would be safer to have Li Chaokang and Xu Wei escort them with part of the Heaven-Slaying Team.
"I won't leave, I want to stay!" Li Chaokang looked reluctant when he heard that he had to evacuate too.
Gao Shan's face darkened and he reprimanded: "Why, what I said doesn't work?"
"Of course not. If I stay, I can help."
"Your mission is to protect your sister-in-law's safety. If anything happens to her, you won't have the face to see me again."
Li Chaokang could only agree with a helpless face, and then went to make arrangements.
Not long after Li Chaokang left, Jiang Xinyue came to find Gao Shan.
"I won't leave, I want to go with you."
Gao Shan also knew that this girl would not be obedient, so he took her hand and said, "You go first, I will take some people behind. As the director of Gaoshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, I must leave last."
"Then I will leave last." Jiang Xinyue held her head high stubbornly.
"No!" Gao Shan said seriously, "I have killed countless people in the sky. They have a grudge against me and will definitely not let me leave easily. It is too dangerous for you to follow me."
"I have the ability to protect myself."
Jiang Xinyue also practiced with Gaoshan. It is indeed not something that ordinary people can deal with. Even when facing heavenly beings, she is not without any ability to fight back.
Gao Shan shook his head and said: "You are no match for heaven and man. If you stay and I have to worry about taking care of you, you are not helping me, but... it will also drag me down!"
When Jiang Xinyue heard this, her face immediately turned bad. She looked a little aggrieved and a little self-blame.
Gao Shan knew that these words hurt Jiang Xinyue's self-esteem, but if she hadn't said so, she would never have agreed to leave.
There was nothing he could do.
Gao Shan protected Jiang Xinyue and said: "Don't worry, I will go to Jiangnan safely. Although I am regarded as a thorn in the side of heaven and earth and want to kill him, Mr. Pan will not let anything happen to me. He will protect me at all costs."
, so I will not be in danger. Go to Jiangnan and help me build a traditional Chinese medicine hospital first, and I will arrive later."
Jiang Xinyue nestled in Gao Shan's arms, said nothing, and nodded vigorously.
…
Li Chaokang gathered the last group of evacuees overnight, secretly left Donghe City and moved to Jiangnan City in the dark.
In order to ensure safety, Gao Shan also led people to protect him secretly for a period of time. After confirming that no heavenly beings were following and ambush, they quietly evacuated and returned to Donghe City.
When Gao Shan brought part of the Tianshu team back to the north city of Donghe City, it was already dawn.
At this time, the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine was empty, with only a few medical staff including Hua Yu and Nurse Sun. However, there were not many patients now, so a few people were enough.
Gao Shan asked everyone to rest first and told the remaining members of the Tianshou team to recharge their batteries, because they might be needed to fight at any time.
Gao Shan had no intention of resting. He stood at the highest point of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and looked at the entire Donghe City.
I'm afraid it won't be long before this place will be in ruins.
Gao Shan still has deep feelings for this city.
While he was feeling sad, the sound of gunfire suddenly came from the distance.
Lin Haoqiang's declaration of war was not just a casual talk. The privately recruited mercenaries in Nancheng chose to attack at dawn and conducted a frontal raid on several of Mr. Pan's camps.
However, they did not face the attack directly during the raid, but immediately retreated to Nancheng after the attack.
Once those private mercenaries retreated into Nancheng, Mr. Pan's men had to cease fire because there were still countless civilians in Nancheng. However, they also began to advance their positions and approached the outer perimeter of Nancheng, sealing the entire siege of Nancheng.
Mr. Pan also issued an order to fire immediately as soon as he saw the private mercenaries in Nancheng. Although they could not use heavy firepower to bombard them, it was enough to suppress the private mercenaries. After all, they had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.
This is also the reason why the Nancheng side does not dare to attack on a large scale, because their number will become less and less as they fight harder. On the other hand, Mr. Pan has tens of thousands of people, and they can have reinforcements as long as necessary.
In terms of weapon firepower, Mr. Pan also has an absolute advantage.
On this day, Nancheng's private mercenaries carried out several charges and harassments, which indeed caused a lot of trouble to Mr. Pan's people, because even if they opened fire, they had to use rat weapons to avoid harming the people of Nancheng.
The private mercenaries in Nancheng are not afraid of this, but are taking advantage of it.
In one day, Mr. Pan's men lost thousands of people, but the number of private mercenaries killed was limited because they were harassed by armored beast cavalry, and their attack and retreat speeds were too fast.
Even after nightfall, there was no peace in Donghe City, because the harassment by armored beast cavalry from the Nancheng side continued, and they were attacking from different directions.
Mr. Pan's people can only respond passively, which is very detrimental to them.
But there was nothing they could do about it. They couldn't press in on a large scale. Once they broke into the city, those heavenly beings might use the people as a shield, and Mr. Pan's people didn't know what to do.
At that time, they may become the turtle in the urn, so they can only be surrounded and consumed on the periphery, and it depends on who can consume the others.
In this way, it lasted for about seven days. The people of Nancheng were in fear every day. Only they knew what kind of nightmare they were experiencing.
Mr. Pan also thought about a strategy to rescue the people of Nancheng, but the people of Nancheng were all driven to the central area of Nancheng. If the rescue was to go deep, the soldiers who went there would be in danger. It was too risky.
For the time being, this is all we can do.
Mr. Pan doesn't know when the end will be.
Gao Shan has been running to Mr. Pan from time to time in the past few days, and has sent his own Sky-Slaying Team to participate in several battles.
He even proposed to personally take people to Nancheng to see if he could carve out a bloody road, and save some Nancheng people first, and as many as he could rescue.
But Mr. Pan rejected it.
The war has progressed so far, and almost no heavenly beings have appeared. This is the fundamental reason why they can stabilize the situation. If they are caught by the heavenly beings deep in the war, they will have no chance to come up with it, unless Mr. Pan uses the power of the Tota King again.
.
Mr. Pan obviously didn't want to go to that point.
Mr. Pan's worries were justified, and Gao Shan could only shelve the plan.
