In mid-May, the Volo War broke out.
The Western City-State Alliance, headed by the Solan City State, sent a total of 200,000 troops to invade the Volo City State in a mighty manner.
Among the 200,000 coalition forces, Solan City State sent 100,000 troops, and the other 100,000 were troops from other city states.
The commander-in-chief of the coalition army was none other than the son of the lord of Solan City State, Arsinoward.
In the early days of the Volo War, the coalition army went smoothly and fought continuously, advancing westward from the border of Solan City State and Volo City State.
In just one month, the army captured the city of Novi.
After capturing the city of Novi, the coalition forces only took a short rest and then continued northward to attack the capital of the Volo city-state, Volo city.
As long as they could capture Volo city and capture the lords and ministers of the Volo city-state, the Volo war would basically be over.
You can declare it over, The coalition forces were coming fiercely, and the Volo army could not resist them.
When the coalition army moved north, the city-state ministers led by Urengoy, the lord of the Volo city-state, and the remnants of the Volo army, which numbered 50,000 to 60,000, abandoned the capital and fled to the southwest. , At the end of June, the coalition forces captured the city of Volo almost without a fight.
The battle went much smoother than expected.
Arsino, who was proud and ambitious, commanded the coalition forces and began to advance to the southwest again.
He was very motivated to capture Wulian alive.
Goy's posture, Urengoy took the remnants of the Volo City State and fled southwest until they reached the border between the Volo City State and Ningnan.
They stopped and hid in the small border town of Haliya.
If Urengoy and his party fled into Ningnan, Arsino would not pursue him.
But Urengoy had to hide in Haliya, a small place.
How could Arsino let him go so easily?
Arsinoe led the coalition forces and attacked Harlia without mercy.
Duki, city of Masala, In the Battle of Masala, the Feng Army and the Ningnan Army have been fighting for more than four months.
The war is still in a stalemate.
The Ningnan Army cannot break through the Feng Army's defense line, and the Feng Army cannot defeat the Ningnan Army.
On this day, Shangguan Xiu and his generals were in the city lord's palace watching the intelligence coming back from all parties.
Luo Ren checked the battle reports that came from Volo City State in recent days one by one, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu, the main city of Volo City State has been lost, and the lord has fled to the border town of Haliya.
It seems that the Volo War It will be over soon," "Oh," Shangguanxiu responded softly absentmindedly, Haili couldn't help but asked: "Your Highness, do our troops still have to stand still now?"
"Well," Shangguanxiu still looked at the information in his hand without raising his head.
Haili was about to speak when Zhao Chen walked in quickly from the outside.
He ignored the other people present and hurriedly walked up to Shangguan Xiu and whispered: "Brother Xiu, the civil war in Ningnan is over."
As soon as these words came out, like thunder in the clear sky, everyone present raised their heads.
Shangguan Xiu also flashed his eyes, put down the letter in his hand, and looked at Zhao Chen, The latter said solemnly: "The news I just received is that Prince Yuan's troops have been defeated by Prince Hao's troops in the west of Tianjing.
The army collapsed.
Prince Yuan Ye has abandoned the army and fled."
During the recent period, Shangguan Xiu was not keeping an eye on the Woluo battlefield, but the civil war in southern Ningxia.
You must know that Changsun Boyuan's army was an army of 300,000, and they came to Tianjing.
Even if Changsun Bohao's army received the support of the court, they only had 100,000 soldiers.
One hundred thousand actually defeated 300,000.
This is too much Unbelievable, "How is this possible?"
Shangguan Xiu stood up and asked, "The eldest son Boyuan was really defeated by the eldest son Bohao."
"Yes, Brother Xiu, a complete failure," "What's going on," "It's because I respect the king's eldest grandson Huainan,"
"The eldest grandson Huainan," "Most of Changsun Boyuan's troops are the old ones of Changsun Huainan.
It was precisely because of the support of Changsun Huainan that Changsun Boyuan was able to command an army of 300,000.
However, I don't know what means Changsun Bohao used to successfully instigate rebellion.
The eldest grandson Huainan led to the eldest grandson Boyuan's defeat and had to abandon his army and flee."
"It turns out that it was the eldest grandson Huainan who defected before the battle."
Shangguan Xiu showed a look of sudden realization.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe the eldest grandson Huainan supported the eldest grandson Bohao from the beginning.
The reason why he stood by the eldest grandson Bohao deep On the other side, it must be just for this day."
After a pause, he breathed lightly and said: "Changsun Boyuan is too arrogant and too arrogant.
Supporting eldest grandson Bohao to become emperor is indeed better than supporting eldest grandson Boyuan to become emperor.
You can get more benefits," Any choice people make is ultimately the most self-interested.
If you think about it carefully, it is not too unexpected that the eldest grandson Huainan defected in battle.
Shangguan Xiu asked: "Do you know where Sun Boyuan has fled to now?"
Zhao Chen shook his head and said: "We haven't received any news yet," frdo Shangguanxiu knocked his forehead and said, "The civil war in Ningnan is over.
This is not good news for our country."
Zhao Chen nodded and said: "I believe that in a few days, eldest grandson Bohao will proclaim himself emperor in Tianjing," Ningnan finally has a new emperor.
The soldiers fighting on the front line no longer have to worry about anything.
The next war is bound to be more difficult.
The result was just as everyone expected.
Only three days later, the news came back that Changsun Bohao had proclaimed himself emperor in Tianjing.
The Feng Army didn't feel anything about this, but the Ningnan Army on the opposite side was rejoicing.
The roar of salutes started in the morning and didn't stop until noon.
The soldiers of the Feng Army were disturbed by the salute from the opposite side.
Luo Ren ordered the entire army to launch a bombardment to give a great gift to the eldest son Bohao for his proclaimed emperor.
On the Marsala front, four legions of Feng troops launched an all-out artillery bombardment on the opposite Ningnan Army position.
Soon, the Ningnan Army position also launched artillery fire.
On the day when Changsun Bohao proclaimed himself emperor, I don’t know how lively it was in Ningnan, but the Masala position was very lively.
The armies of the two countries launched a large-scale artillery attack.
In this day alone, the Feng Army and Ningnan Army fired less than 100,000 artillery shells.
The next day, the artillery attack between the two armies finally came to an end.
The soldiers of the two armies seemed to be fine, filling the craters and rebuilding the destroyed defenses in their respective positions.
Another half month later, news came back from the northern front in Ningnan.
The eldest prince, Sun Boyuan, and his concubine, Mi Xinyue, fled to the Fengjun camp.
They are currently being escorted by the Fengjun to Masala City.
After reading the letter of flying pigeons on the northern front, the soldiers of the Feng Army were all dumbfounded.
They thought that after the defeat of Changsun Boyuan, he would hide his name and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Unexpectedly, he ran to his own side to seek refuge.
Cai Huang frowned and said: "Your Highness, Changsun Boyuan's seeking asylum from our country is tantamount to showing the people of Ningnan that there has been a conspiracy between our country and Changsun Boyuan.
This will inevitably arouse the common hatred of the people of Ningnan."
Shangguan Xiu shrugged and said with a disapproving smile: "The people of Ningnan have already shared the same hatred towards our country, and nothing will change because of the eldest grandson Boyuan."
Cai Huang said quietly: "There is no use in keeping a useless person."
His meaning was obvious, either to kill the eldest grandson Boyuan directly, or to exchange him for the people of Ningnan.
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "Although he is a useless person, he is a serious problem for Changsun Bohao.
He can make your enemies unhappy.
This is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
It would be a pity to kill him."
Cai Huang nodded thoughtfully, leaned forward and said, "It's the general who didn't think carefully."
The Volo War entered the end of August.
Arsino led 200,000 coalition troops to Haliya.
He thought that the remnants of the Volo city-state would defend the city.
Unexpectedly, the lord Urengoy actually led more than 60,000 soldiers.

The city-state army went out to fight, While Arsino laughed at Urengoy for not knowing whether to live or die, he commanded the army to attack the Volo city-state army head-on.
Just when the battle between the two armies was about to break out, an army of 100,000 people appeared in the east and west of the coalition. , Ningnan Army,
Of these two Ningnan army regiments, one was commanded by Ningnan's Wei General Zhou Chaoxian, and the other was commanded by Ningnan's Zuo General Ye Nantian.
Ye Nantian and Zhou Chaoxian are both veterans of Ningnan who have experienced hundreds of battles in the battlefield.
However, they are both young.
They are both in their early forties, and they both became famous as teenagers with unrivaled martial arts skills.
The sudden appearance of the Ningnan Army on the battlefield caught the coalition forces off guard.
Ye Nantian's troops, Zhou Chaoxian's troops, and Urengoy's troops launched a siege against the coalition forces.
In this battle, the coalition forces were defeated.
This battle was the defeat that the coalition forces had suffered since they entered the Volo city-state, and it was also the most disastrous defeat.
Of the 200,000-strong army, only 60,000 people escaped in the end.
Not all of the other 130,000 people fought.
Dead, but scattered, The last remaining 60,000 people were all soldiers of the First Legion under Arsinoe.
As for the soldiers of other city-states, they were frightened away by this battle and fled back to their respective city-states, no longer daring to do so. go to war, After the Battle of Haliya, General Zhou Chaoxian withdrew to Tianjing, the capital of Ningnan, by himself.
General Ye Nantian of the left stayed in the Woluo city-state and led the Ningnan army of 200,000 to continue to pursue the remnants of Asino.
The remnants of Arsino retreated again and again, from the southwest of the Volo city-state, to the southeast, and finally retreated to the city of Novi.
Most of the early gains made by the coalition forces in the Volo City State have been lost so far.
It seems that the remaining half cannot be saved.
The city-state armies of other city-states could no longer count on.
The only one that could compete with the Ningnan army was the Feng army.
Asino had no choice but to ask for help from the Feng army and asked Shangguan Xiu to immediately send reinforcements to the Woluo battlefield.
At present, the Feng Kingdom's legions in Duji include the ninth, tenth, and twelfth legions, as well as the first, third, fourth, and fifth legions of the Zhenjun Army, and there is also a Jinsk city-state army, totaling eight a legion, The strength of the eight legions is not small, but each legion has its own position.
The Ninth Army Corps guards the front line north of Marsala City, the Twelfth Army Corps guards the front line south of Marsala City, and the Tenth Army Corps and the First, Fourth, and Fifth Army Corps of the Zhenjun Army guard the front line. is the main battlefield of Marsala City, and the third legion of Zhenjun Army is on For fighting behind enemy lines, at present, the only force that can be mobilized is the Jinsk City-State Army.
However, it is really difficult for the 100,000 Jinsk City-State Army to fight against the 200,000 Ningnan Army.
There is really no chance of winning.
To be on the safe side, the Feng Army must also A legion must be mobilized to fight together.
Shangguan Xiusi thought about it and finally decided to send out the Fifth Army Corps headed by Cai Huang.
The Third Army Corps could not be used.
The containment of Hu Chong's troops behind enemy lines relieved a lot of pressure on his own frontal battlefield.
The First Army Corps was also mobilized.
No, Luo Ren is now the commander-in-chief of the army.
The first legion must follow him and stay on the main battlefield of Marsala.
The only choices left to Shangguanxiu are the fourth and fifth legions.
Relatively speaking, Shangguanxiu I feel more at ease with Cai Huang.
Before the Fifth Army was about to go on the expedition, Shangguan Xiu specially found Cai Huang and held a candlelight night talk with him.
Looking at Cai Huang, who had short hair and was wearing a straight military uniform, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Cai Huang, sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness," "In private, there is no need to be so polite," Cai Huang bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Shangguan Xiu asked: "Cai Huang, do you have any concerns when I send your troops to the Woluo battlefield?"
Cai Huang said seriously: "I will fight for the country in the end, so I have no worries."
"Aren't you afraid at all?"
Cai Huang glanced at Shangguan Xiu, and under his bright eyes, he said honestly: "The general is a little unsure in his heart."
This time when he entered Volo City State to fight, he had no superior.
On the contrary, he was the superior of the Feng Army, Jinsk City State Army, and Solan City State Army.
In other words, he was the commander-in-chief of the three legions.
Every order he gives directly determines the life and death of the three legions.

With such a heavy responsibility on him, it is impossible to say that Cai Huang is not worried at all.
This time, he is truly responsible for the whole army.
Commander, fighting alone,
Shangguan Xiu looked at Cai Huang meaningfully and said, "What will you do if you are defeated in the Woluo city-state?"
Cai Huangteng stood up immediately and said with firm eyes: "I will fight to the death with the enemy to the end and never retreat a step."
Shangguan Xiu smiled, waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and said softly: "The mere Volo city-state is not enough to sacrifice a legion of our country.
An excellent legion commander.
Once defeated, your troops can immediately return to Du."
"Gee, regroup, understand,":
