ha? !
Everyone stared in shock at their superior.
Unexpectedly, after so much discussion at the meeting, the final decision was to garrison Huainan City.
"The enemies attacking Ancheng and Shuyecheng are demons. They have not retreated. Once Huainancheng, the front line, retreats, they will likely be caught up by the three armies."
They will reach the target area as soon as possible to block the troops on our left and right flanks. Until then, we need to hold Huainan City... The timeframe is uncertain.
Liu Lang's lips twitched. Huainan City was indeed plagued by so many disasters.
"Brother Liu Lang, since we need to defend, then come over to my side from now on."
Dai Shanren, along with seven or eight coins, found Liu Lang. This defensive operation required eliminating some troops whose strength was insufficient, and sending them ahead to the rear positions to carry out defensive construction. Those people were just below the late stage of the fourth star level.
This means that Han Fangfang and her group need to leave the defense line of Huainan City.
It is regrettable, but Huainan City may have to fight another breakout battle later. Therefore, the weak soldiers are not enough to keep up with the main force. If they are caught up by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Young Master, I think we should retreat."
However, there were differing opinions regarding this operation.
Actually, it wasn't just this operation. Previously, Dai Shanren wanted to go with Liu Lang to rescue the Second Main Force, but he was stopped by Qian Qi and Qian Ba.
Now that the military region's troops have returned, they are not leaving yet, so the troops from the other two cities need to go ahead first.
This makes the danger here much greater.
Even the guards of the Wan Guan Chamber of Commerce, whose average strength is at the six-star level, dare not continue to be stationed here.
That's why Qian Qiqianba wanted Dai Shanren to leave.
"Didn't Dad say he wanted me to take a position in the military region after I went back?"
If I didn't have military merits, even with my father's name on my record, people would still gossip about me behind my back.
I must defend this city!
Dai Shanren answered Qian Qiqianba behind him with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
Um...
Qian Qi bypassed Dai Shanren and asked Liu Lang.
"Young Master Dai wants to fight alongside you. If you leave, Young Master Dai has no reason to stay here any longer. So I would like to ask you, for Young Master Dai's safety, could you leave with us?"
"Qian Qi!"
Dai Shanren's face turned red. Although he was right to think that way, he shouldn't have said it so bluntly!
"I..."
Upon hearing Qian Qi's words, Liu Lang frowned and looked at Xiao Dai. Was it because he was worried about my safety that he stayed here?
Seriously...
"Liu Lang, Lord Long Yuang summons you."
But before Liu Lang could reply, a soldier came to invite him to the central camp.
Now that things had come to this, Qian Qi understood Liu Lang's choice and could only silently retreat behind Dai Shanren.
Liu Lang smiled helplessly.
"I'm sorry, the city's defense formation needs my supervision..."
"Then we will abide by the young master's decision and stand guard together near the main city's great formation."
Upon hearing Qian Qiqianba's words, Dai Shanren finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally able to fight alongside Brother Liu Lang, and he absolutely could not return to the Wan Guan Chamber of Commerce.
This time, when he goes back, his father will send him directly to the Central Plains Military Region, and he won't be able to get out even if he wants to. He has made an appointment with Brother Liu Lang and Brother Xiao Sa to rescue Brother Shen Jun.
He doesn't want to go back on his word.
And so, the new city defense construction began.
The enemy is expected to arrive in Huainan City in half a day.
They will defend Huainan City until the troops from Ancheng and Shuye City withdraw.
"Is it possible to keep the main city's grand formation constantly active?"
Long Yuang looked at Liu Lang with a complicated expression and asked.
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Lang looked at Commander Long Yuang with some confusion and asked.
"According to our estimates... we may have to hold out in Huainan City for at least three more days. I know that the main city's main formation was severely damaged before, and I also know that the rebuilt main city's main formation has a limit to its defense."
However, in order to ensure the safety of the troops and prevent casualties, I have to ask you about the main city formation separately.
We have not disclosed the actual combat-ready soldiers to the public.
Our current troop strength is not the rumored 650,000, but 400,000.
Because more than 200,000 soldiers were wounded, and this excludes those units that were not up to standard and were tasked with covering the retreat of the soldiers.
Ultimately, we will likely only have 300,000 men left to defend Huainan City.
Therefore, the main city's grand formation is the key to this defeat against the enemy.
This time, the enemy's numbers are likely more than ten times ours.
After hearing Long Yuang's sincere explanation, Liu Lang stood there stunned for a long time before finally replying with a troubled expression.
"If it's for everyone's sake... I'll try my best..."
"Thank you, but don't feel burdened by this. This is the result of our council, and I met you because of my own selfish reasons. I don't want to see more outstanding soldiers sacrifice themselves."
Please!
