1021 Battle of Annan Ends (1/2)
Chapter 1021 – Battle of Annan Ends
Seeing Legion General Chen Tang personally lead the lines, the Bear Legion Corps totally exploded.
Strictly speaking, this was the first tough battle for the Bear Legion Corps. They did not want to back down and let the Dragon Legion Corps claim an easy victory.
”Even if we die, we want to die charging forward!”
The Bear Legion Corps went all out, not caring about their casualties. Soldiers stepped on the bodies of their brothers, launching wave after wave of attacks against the city wall. All of them viewed death as a release.
This time, the soldiers on the city wall could not hold on anymore.
They were originally forced to their limits by the Bear Legion Corps. Being pushed further, they collapsed.
”Kill!”
Under the protection of his Personal Guards, Chen Tang successfully climbed up the city wall.
”Kill!”
The morale of the Bear Legion Corps soldiers soared.
Along with a thundering 'honglong!', after half an hour of tough battle, the Bear Legion Corps finally took down the east city gate before noon and completed the mission.
”Hurray!”
The soldiers were delighted, and they could not help but cheer out.
When Baiqi saw that, an indiscernible smile appeared on his face as he ordered, ”Spread my order, for the Battle of Hanoi, the Bear Legion Corps 1st legion have obtained credit. Lai Hu'er's troops immediately assist them and sweep the rewards.”
”Yes!” The messenger ran out.
Frontlines.
Lai Hu'er followed the orders and rushed near the city gates. Seeing the bloody Chen Tang, he raised his thumb and smiled, ”Well done Bear Legion Corps!”
The way that the Dragon Legion Corps soldiers looked at them was filled with recognition.
To be able to take down the east city gate in such a short time was something even the Dragon Legion Corps would not have absolute confidence about. The army always worshipped the strong, so the Bear Legion Corps won the praise of their brothers.
Chen Tang smiled, shaking Lai Hu'er's hands. The misunderstanding at the start had disappeared.
”Well done Bear Legion Corps brothers, leave the rest to us.” Lai Hu'er waved his right hand and ordered his troops to pour forward to totally crush the defending troops on the east side.
Chen Tang did not oppose him, as the 1st legion had indeed suffered heavy casualties. Since he had already obtained the first credit, he understandingly backed down. 'He had already eaten the meat, so he should at least leave some soup for his brothers.'
Lai Hu'er's forces were brimming with energy, amd their entry added huge pressure. On the contrary, the Annan defending troops had a hole in their defenses that could not be stopped, and they were showing signs of a full collapse.
In just an hour, apart from the main city gate of the east side, the two side gates were taken down.
When Baiqi saw that, he looked toward Luo Shixin and Er'Lai and said, ”It's your turn!”
”Yes commander!”
Luo Shixin and Er'Lai had been raring to go. Getting the order, they turned around and left.
After a short while, the rumbling of horse hooves sounded out on the battlefield as the Great Xia cavalry moved. The group of them was like an iron flood rushing toward the three city gates and into Hanoi.
When the defending troops on the other sides learned that the east city gate had been lost, they lost the will to fight.
Baiqi was really sharp. Sensing blood, he ordered all four sides to launch a fierce assault right away.
In a short hour, all four city gates were lost in succession, and the entire city was on the verge of falling. The 500 thousand troops were like a flood that swarmed toward the city.
Unstoppable.
The moment the city was broken into, the fate of Hanoi and Annan was easy to predict.
The following battle contained no surprises.
At 3 PM, along with the royal palace stone stele being broken, a System Notification sounded out around the world.
”World Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for taking down Annan, his name spreads far and wide, obtaining 100 thousand merit points and 200 thousand reputation points as a reward. Congratulations!”
...
The Battle of Annan could be said to be the battle where Great Xia killed the most enemies.
Rough estimation placed the number of combat occupation players dying to their hands at no less than a million. If one added in the guards and the Haiphong City Army, just by killing enemies, Ouyang Shuo had earned a million merit points.
That was really shocking.
A million points was the required amount to reach duke. From the start of the game till now, there was only Jack and Ouyang Shuo, these two dukes. As such, other Lords would obviously be envious and jealous.
As expected, a country war was the fastest way to earn merit points.
”World Notification: Annan has been destroyed, all player levels, skills, cultivation methods, and the like are wiped out. Annan players will be teleported over to the sealed lands as punishment!”
...
The moment the notification sounded out, before the millions of Annan players could mourn, they were mercilessly teleported away.
A country war was just so cruel. Along with Hanoi falling, the country war ended. Players were teleported away, and the fortunate remaining guards could only surrender.
As for how many prisoners were obtained, they needed to tabulate it up.
”World Notification: China Region Lord Qiyue Wuyi led troops to win the country war, China obtains 10 country honor whilst awarding all China region players with +1 for innate stats, congratulations China region!”
