Chapter 1021 Hanoi Is in an Emergency

On April 30, at the northwestern border of Annan.

Mengde City is a small city in the northwest, ten miles away from the northern suburbs is a rocky mountain range. It was swept away by the Daxia North Route Army as early as a week ago, and fell together with several surrounding small cities.

Yesterday morning, Mengde City started martial law throughout the city. The post stations, city gates, official roads and other vital places were guarded by the Daxia City Guards to prevent anyone from approaching.

The entire city is allowed to enter but not to exit.

The local people realized that a major event might happen, but they dared not, and they were unable to transmit information to the main city. All possible communication channels were cut off by Daxia.

The Black Snake Guard, who was in charge of Annan's intelligence investigation, even cooperated with the Military Intelligence Department to implement a first-level intelligence blockade around Mengde City, so that not even a fly could fly out.

All signs indicate that something big is about to happen in this small border town far away from the three major battlefields.

Just last night, in the north of Mengde City, the originally desolate and isolated rocky mountain range seemed to have been cast by a spell, and a dark tunnel appeared out of thin air, directly connecting Yunnan Province.

Soon, torches were lit in the tunnel, illuminating the entire tunnel brightly. On the border of Mengding County, Yunnan Province, the Great Xia Expeditionary Army, which had already been prepared, passed through the tunnel and miraculously appeared in Annan.

From last night until the afternoon of the 30th, the tunnel was full of people and traffic. The vast army passed through the tunnel quickly and orderly regardless of day and night, and assembled in the wilderness of Annan.

This expeditionary force included the five legions of the Longxiang Army, the Fourth Legion of the Imperial Guard, the First Legion and the Second Legion of the Flying Bear Army, with a total of 560,000 troops.

What appeared now was only the vanguard, and troops came out of the tunnel continuously in the follow-up, and behind the large army, there was an even larger logistics supply auxiliary army, with a number of 500,000 people.

In the evening, Bai Qi, commander of the Great Xia Expeditionary Army, surrounded by generals including Lai Hu'er and Zhang Liao, slowly walked out of the tunnel and officially set foot on Annan's territory.

"Handsome!"

Zhao Puonu, head of the First Legion of the Longxiang Army, was appointed by Bai Qi as a vanguard officer, and led the first legion to set foot on Annan's territory first. When Bai Qi arrived, he immediately came to see him.

Bai Qi was wearing black iron armor, with a solemn expression, "Is the surrounding alert?"

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, the last general has sent out five outposts, within a radius of thousands of miles, including Mengde City, they are all within the alert range. If there is any trouble, you will be aware of it immediately."

Zhao Ponu, as a powerful general under Huo Qubing's command in history, was good at tracking and early warning, so he was appointed by Bai Qi as a vanguard officer. It seems that he has done a good job.

Bai Qiqi nodded, naturally he didn't say any words of appreciation.

Zhao Puonu breathed a sigh of relief, it was a great honor to get the commander's nod.

"Be more vigilant at night, don't take it lightly." Bai Qi ordered.

"promise!"

Zhao Puonu nodded in response, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

Bai Qi led a group of generals to the temporary headquarters to discuss the next military action.

In addition to the vanguard officer Zhao Ponu, the seven army commanders including Lai Hu'er, Zhang Liao, Luo Shixin, Xiao Chaogui, Elai, Chen Tang and Pei Renji were all on the list.

Bai Qi silently glanced around the generals with his triangular eyes unique to the Qin people, making the hearts of all the strong generals startled, and then said solemnly: "The enemy's counterattacks have been fierce in the past few days, far exceeding our expectations before the battle. Right now, the three armies are struggling, and 20,000 to 30,000 people are killed every day, so the situation is not optimistic."

The generals in the hall listened, all of them looked solemn.

Of course they knew that the purpose of the sacrifice of the three-way army was to create an opportunity for their surprise army to transfer the enemy army away from the royal city, so that they could beheaded in one fell swoop.

"We need to be quick!" Bai Qi concluded, "We can't wait any longer. Tomorrow morning, the troops that have arrived will set off first, and strive to arrive in Hanoi within four days."

"Follow the commander's order!"

All the generals responded in unison.

Because the size of the army is too large, Bai Qi also made arrangements in advance. The infantry passed through the tunnel first, and the cavalry was one step behind. In this way, the cavalry who arrived later could come from behind, ensuring that the various armies appeared on the outskirts of Hanoi at about the same time.

At the same time, in order to reduce the target, and at the same time distribute the official roads rationally and avoid "traffic jams", even the vanguard troops had to divide into several groups, advance side by side, and then join forces in the outskirts of Hanoi.

How to arrange it will have to be arranged by Bai Qi, the commander in chief.

It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that the military discussion came to an end. As the commander-in-chief, Bai Qi did not fall asleep, but got up and went outside the camp, called the guards, and began to inspect the camps one by one.

This battle is related to the fate of the dynasty, and carelessness cannot be tolerated in vain.

Even in the Qin State in history, Bai Qi never commanded such a large army. It is difficult for outsiders to understand how heavy the burden is on his shoulders.

…………

Time quietly entered May.

Since the beginning of the war, the Great Xia Army has been fighting fiercely in Annan for a month, and there is still one month before the highly anticipated national war month, and the Battle of Annan has become the focus of Asia.

Even the battle of Western Chu, which is still being fought, is not so eye-catching.

On the northwestern border of Annan, where the Great Xia Army is stationed.

In the early morning, when it was just dawn, Bai Qi, who had slept for less than three hours, personally led an army, set off from the camp, and ran towards Hanoi according to the predetermined marching route.

From this moment on, the Annan War ushered in the final battle.

On the afternoon of May 2, the Great Xia Army broke through the North Route Army's control area and officially appeared in Annan's field of vision. In other words, the early efforts of the North Route Army, the Black Snake Guards, and the Military Intelligence Department bought the army two days.

That's pretty much the key to turning a big fight around.

When the mighty army suddenly appeared near Hanoi, one can imagine the psychological impact it had on the Annan players and the Annan royal family.

"Oh my god, it's the Great Xia army, where did they come from?"

No one can give an answer. The northwest border is an endless stretch of rocky mountains. Logically speaking, it is impossible for an army to cross such a natural barrier and appear in Annan.

To the northwest, Annan hardly fortified.

But things just happened so unbelievably. No matter how many civil servants and generals in the Annan court thought about it, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Didn't you say that the second batch of expeditionary troops from Daxia came by sea?"

The face of the person who said this was very ugly, obviously he has realized that the so-called sea route is just a smoke bomb deliberately released by Daxia to deceive all of them.

For a time, the royal city was in chaos, and people were panicked.

Someone speculated, "Maybe there is a cave in the rocky mountain range that connects Yunnan, China."

Some geographers also followed suit, speculating based on geographical structure and geographical kinematics that it is also possible for such a secret passage to appear in the mountains.

This statement really does not stand up to scrutiny. It has been Gaia's five years now. If there is any secret way, it will be discovered by Annan players not too early. It is Daxia's turn to take advantage of it.

I also want to know how spacious the secret passage is to let the Great Xia Army pass through.

"It doesn't make any sense to discuss this right now. The key question now is, what should we do?"

Yeah, what should I do? !

The first reaction of the Annan royal family was to immediately order the recall of the three-way imperial army.

In fact, they did do the same, not only the Forbidden Army, but also the three-way alien troops were recalled. After all, "the sky is big and the earth is big, and the king's city is the biggest."

Once the royal city falls, the war will be over, and no matter how great the achievements are in the local battlefield, it will be in vain.

However, the armies of the three routes had already left the royal city, and if they wanted to rush back, it would not be possible in two or three days. The Annan royal family can only unite with the leaders of the alien guild, and summon the army that is still in the royal city to save themselves.

A storm suddenly hit Annan.

…………

China.

Unlike the panic of the Annan players, the Chinese players are in a complicated mood.

Two days ago, they were still worried that Da Xia would encounter "Waterloo" in Annan, but in a blink of an eye, Da Xia turned upside down in Annan, and he was about to take Annan completely.

The speed of the plot reversal is really jaw-dropping.

The players who had ridiculed Da Xia and Bai Qi on the forum before became the target of public criticism. They were human fleshed out and severely humiliated in the game.

Thinking about it, as long as they are not too thick-skinned, they will not dare to show up in the forum again.

Di Chen and the others were even more depressed. The only thing to be thankful for was that they were smart enough this time not to speak up on the forum, otherwise, they really don't know how it would end.

During the whole process, Xia Gong didn't say a word.

There is a saying: "Invisible pretense is the most deadly!"

Summer Palace did not express its position or respond. In the eyes of players in the Chinese region, there were other explanations at once. "It's still Daxia's clever tactics, seemingly indifferent, but in fact everything is under control."

"High, really high!"

Many people give thumbs up unconsciously. Ordinary players can only worship Daxia's layout, and they can't learn this level even if they want to.

Affected by this, Ouyang Shuo ushered in another round of outbreaks in the national war leader voting. As of May 3rd, Ouyang Shuo had won 45 million votes, a full 20 million more than Dichen.

The competition for the leader of the national war almost ended early.

…………

Players in China are happy, but life for Annan players is very difficult.

Except for the players who were still in the royal city, the three-way army that went out for the expedition received the military order, and their hearts suddenly turned cold, and all of them turned pale. If they still don't understand what's going on, then they are in vain as elites.

Especially Ruan Tianque, the lord of Haiphong City, when he learned that the Great Xia Army had suddenly appeared in the outer suburbs of Hanoi, he couldn't believe it at first, then his face turned pale, and then turned red.

That's a shame, shameless shame!

It was obvious that all of this was Daxiabu's game. Ironically, Daxia's game went so smoothly, all thanks to Ruan Tianque's efforts to persuade the Wangcheng army to take the initiative to attack.

It is equivalent to saying that it was Ruan Tianque who buried Annan with his own hands.

Guilt hit Ruan Tianque like a tsunami. Ruan Tianque lost all his courage at the thought of the coming verbal criticism from the Chinese people.

Ruan Tianque didn't dare to face those comrades who trusted him.

That night, Ruan Tianque committed suicide in his study, and left his last words on the table. On the snow-white rice paper, there were only three big bloody characters: "I am guilty!"
