Chapter 794 – Biggest Miracle in the Wilderness

Luo Shixin’s words totally moved all the Alliance Army generals present. If Zhang Xutuo was still unwilling to surrender now, these generals would still surrender to Shanhai City.

Who knows, they might even tie up Zhang Xutuo and hand him over.

As the Alliance Army commander, Zhang Xutuo was not so important that the generals here would all be willing to die for him.

Zhang Xutuo only had two choices at hand; he could either surrender or kill himself like he did in history.

However, the wilderness was not like history, and Zhang Xutuo was not as loyal to his current Lord as he was to the Sui Emperor.

All things considered, Zhang Xutuo decided to surrender.

With that, both sides were naturally delighted.

…

Along with the various Alliance Army generals surrendering, the remaining 60 thousand Alliance Army troops all surrendered.

At basically the same time, news about Wuqi, Tian Dan, and the Yanhuang Alliance Army generals retreating spread out amongst the formation. The Yanhuang Alliance Army soldiers did not hesitate to surrender as well after seeing that the Alliance Army that they fought side by side with had surrendered too.

All of a sudden, 150 thousand men all surrendered, scattered across the battlefield, a majestic sight. The battlefield that was still in intense battle moments ago became deathly silent.

When Baiqi saw this scene, he led his troops out of the fortress to get ready to receive all the surrendered troops.

150 thousand surrendered soldiers were like a massive oil barrel. If one was not careful, conflicts would start and cause absolute chaos.

Baiqi had mingled amongst the barracks for his entire life and understood this point. Apart from arranging 30 thousand troops to take down the 10 thousand Alliance Army troops that were still disturbing the grain route, the remaining 60 thousand Dragon Legion Corps troops were sent to watch over the surrendered soldiers.

As for the Wenshan City situation, the Dragon Legion Corps did not need to play a part in it.

The truth was exactly that.

The Tiger Leopard Cavalry rushed under the Wenshan City gates. When Ma Chao saw that the gates were locked shut, he knew that he could not siege the city simply by relying on this purely cavalry force, so he went around the west gate and went south.

The current Lianpo led 70 thousand Yanhuang Alliance troops to rush back to Wenshan City. Behind them was Feng Yi’s legion, which was chasing closely behind.

The arrival of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry gave the Lianpo army a fatal blow. They were like a sharp arrow cutting the Yanhuang Alliance Army that was entering the city into two, breaking their escape route.

When the Yanhuang Alliance Army soldiers saw this situation, they squeezed through the city gates and tried to enter and hide. However, the city gates were rather small, and there were so many soldiers. At the crucial moment, military rules and orders had been tossed aside.

Betrayals and scenes of people climbing over one another played out. There were countless people who were stepped on by their allies.

All of a sudden, the city gate was in chaos.

Luckily, Lianpo had entered the city earlier on, or he might have been buried in the chaos.

Di Chen made the Lianpo army return to Wenshan City because they were the closest to Wenshan City but also out of a little selfishness.

The military generals were obviously precious but the soldiers were too, especially high ranked elite soldiers. Di Chen and the others held the hopes that they could take back a portion of them.

Who knew that Ma Chao would be so decisive; he did not hesitate at all and immediately took a detour when he found out that the city gates were shut. He coordinated with the Feng Yi legion to try and take down Lianpo’s army.

As the Tiger Leopard Cavalry moved swiftly, only 10 thousand of the enemy managed to retreat into the city in the end.

After suffering a pincer attack on both sides by the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Feng Yi’s legion, they had even lost their general. With no way out, the remaining 56 thousand odd troops could only surrender.

At basically the same time, the Guards Legion Corps 1st legion on the west and the City Protection Legion on the north had arrived, officially surrounding Wenshan City.

When Di Chen and the others saw this situation, how would they dare to stay? They brought their Yanhuang Alliance troops to escape, battered and beaten. The Wenshan City Lord, Summon Wind, was also with them.

As for the other Lords in the City-State, when they saw that their generals had not returned, they could only leave alone.

The huge Wenshan City instantly became empty.

With the Lords gone and the city being surrounded by enemies, the Wenshan City City Protection Division was terrified. How would they even dare defend? They just opened up the city gates and surrendered.

At 5 PM, the Shanhai City Army moved into Wenshan City.

At this point, the most crucial battle in the Battle of Yunnan had ended with the defeat of the Yanhuang Alliance and the Alliance Army.

At the end of the battle, basically 200 thousand troops were left on the battlefield, dealing a huge blow to the Yanhuang Alliance. Additionally, this matter would cause their prestige in the wilderness to drop to a freezing point.

The plan of Yanhuang Alliance to curb the rise of Shanhai City had ended in total failure.

************

Gaia 4th year, 1st month, 7th day, Consonance City.

A night had passed, and a detailed battle report regarding the Wenshan City battle had been placed on Ouyang Shuo’s table.

Apart from the victory they achieved in the main battlefield, the Dragon Legion that was in charge of chasing after Zhang He’s troops had big gains too. As the 10 thousand troops led by Zhang He were too far away, they did not know what was happening there.

Hence, no matter how much Mu Guiying tried to make him surrender, Zhang He thought that she was trying to trick him. Helplessly, Mu Guiying could only forcefully attack.

After a huge battle, the 10 thousand of them suffered heavy losses and around six thousand ended up captured. Alliance Army general Zhang He lost and was captured.

After the battle, Er’Lai led the City Protection Legion back to Yuanyang City and immediately teleported to Shanhai City.

The Huo Qubing led Guards Legion Corps went up north and was on their way to Consonance City. Ouyang Shuo was thinking about whether or not to throw them to recover Dongchuan Prefecture based on what Swordsman City was planning.

If nothing went wrong, the Swordsman City would plan something big tonight.

Whether to fight or to seek peace; it was all up to Feng Qingyang.

After Feng Yi’s 3rd Leopard Legion replenished their members from the prisoners, they left Mengding Prefecture. Since the prefecture had already been taken down, Feng Yi’s legion would give up their base in Zhen An Prefecture and move up north to gather with the 1st and 2nd legions.

At this point, the Dragon Legion would sweep out the Yunnan Battlefield.

Baiqi would lead the 1st legion to take charge of Wenshan City, they would be in charge of the surrendered troops and would work with the Military Affairs Bureau officers who were rushing here to do the organization work.

At the same time, the Luo Shixin led 4th legion would charge into Tengyue Prefecture and work with the middle troops and the mountain barbarians to take down Tengyue Prefecture.

Without the help of the Alliance Army and with all their Lords either escaping or dead, the prefecture would quickly fall under Shanhai City’s rule.

At this point, Ouyang Shuo did not need to worry about the entire Yunnan Battlefield.

…

As the Battle of Yunnan came to an end, the other three battlefields basically concluded as well.

Feng Qiuhuang did not disappoint Ouyang Shuo; she decisively took down Fengxiang City and occupied the entire Taiyuan Province, becoming an important member of the wilderness.

The Jiaozhou Squadron and the Yashan Squadron, with the help of the two Infantry Divisions from the 3rd Tiger Legion, had already landed on Yizhou Island.

At the same time, the two squadrons totally locked up the Yizhou Straits.

The Military Affairs Bureau ordered the Lingnan War Zone to coordinate with the navy to help take down Yizhou Island.

The only problem was Stone City’s battle. With Di Chen returning, Handan City’s army did not want to be pushed back.

Wufu was not excessively greedy and was happy to split Zhangwu Prefecture with Handan City after taking down two houses.

Looking at the unstoppable rise of Shanhai City and the all-out failure of the Yanhuang Alliance, Di Chen would not dare to fight a full scale war with Stone City now.

No matter whether he was happy about it or not, Di Chen could only swallow this bitter defeat and plan for the future.

With that, not only did Shanhai City win in the Yunnan Battlefield, Shanhai Alliance had even reaped great gains outside of it, turning around the situation of the Gaia 3rd year.

The two alliances once again returned to the same starting line.

Of course, as an individual, along with Yunnan City-State being taken down, Shanhai City’s position as the top of China had become unshakeable.

Any individual member of the Yanhuang Alliance was not enough to face Shanhai City.

To put it more bluntly, Shanhai City slowly had the power to go up against the entire Yanhuang Alliance alone.

************

As the show came to an end, the players of the China region were shocked and astonished.

People with foresight noticed a problem. Along with Yunnan City-State being wiped out, Shanhai City’s last obstacle to establishing a country was removed.

It was a clear path ahead for Shanhai City.

Players had started to guess when it would happen. There were some that said one or

two months. Without a doubt, everyone felt that they would establish a country within three months.

This fact alone definitely shocked everyone.

A commoner Lord; he cleared the thorns step by step and crushed the Yanhuang Alliance to reach the peak of such a complicated and competitive environment.

Without a doubt, Shanhai City had created the biggest miracle in gaming history.
