Chapter 5913 Fighting to the death
The initial battle was very easy for the expeditionary army. After conquering a city, they would plunder some resources and then continue to advance.
They would collect the resources together and distribute them together in the end. Otherwise, they would be wasted if they were distributed to the soldiers in advance and some died in the battle.
They did not need to garrison the conquered cities. The captives were all handed over to Liu Peizhi, who would be reorganized behind them.
After the reorganization, the soldiers would be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder to minimize their own casualties.
They also advanced in four groups. Liu Yuchan led one group, and Ye Shuangdao led the puppets to guard it.
Yuan Hao led one group, and Ye Liuyun led the magic vines, the death army and the monsters to guard it.
These two groups came completely for the purpose of fighting.
Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong's million-man army led one group each, and attacked the royal city from different directions.
The Gale Dynasty received the news quickly and sent all its troops there to fight to the death.
They had no way to retreat now, and knew that if they did not resist, they would die.
To deal with the large army of Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong, they sent the newly integrated local army to consume them.
And to deal with the two elite army of Ye Liuyun and Ye Shuangdao, they used the 5 million army brought from the Jifeng Dynasty.
They also sent many powerful people in the royal family to the place of enlightenment to wipe them all out at once.
After receiving the news, the scouts sent by Ye Liuyun immediately led the troops to retreat, and then asked Ye Shuangdao's army to come to help.
At the same time, the army of Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong also rushed over to encircle the 5 million troops.
As for the local troops, Ye Liuyun told them not to pay attention to them, and it would be the same to fight early or late.
While retreating, Ye Liuyun promoted what the current Shenwu Dynasty was like, persuaded the soldiers to surrender, and shook their morale.
At first, those soldiers were skeptical, after all, the troops in Ye Liuyun's hands were not the soldiers before their Jifeng Dynasty.
But after Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong came, they began to believe.
Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong personally came forward to promote, using their own personality as a guarantee that they did not lie.
The soldiers of the Jifeng Dynasty had fought enough, and now they had to leave their homes and could never go back.
Now that they knew that their original world was developing so well, and they could only go back by following them, they all wanted to seize this opportunity.
Even some commanders were persuaded by Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong. Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong knew many commanders.
When the Jifeng royal family saw that the situation was not good, they asked the commanders to lead the troops to attack immediately.
Some commanders who still wanted to be loyal to the dynasty immediately launched an attack, and those powerful people in the Enlightenment Realm also took the lead in charging.
"Then fight a battle, and persuade them to surrender while fighting. But don't fight for a long time, just repel their attack, so that they won't come over with their entire army.
By then, those soldiers who want to surrender will not be able to surrender!"
After Ye Liuyun gave instructions to several commanders, he led his troops to meet the enemy.
As soon as they made a move, the puppet army and the powerful people in the Enlightenment Realm rushed up to kill the opponent's strong men.
Liu Yuchan led the elite troops to meet the enemy head-on, and the sharp knife group cooperated on both sides.
Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong's teams also put their strongest troops in the front, and the weaker ones were on both sides to cover.
Ye Liuyun waited until the battle started, and then released the magic vine.
The magic vine is now more powerful, and he can take over a large army of 500,000 people and completely disperse it.
With him, the elite troops and the sharp knife group can fight against the front army with confidence.
The magic vine can stop all the troops behind.
Seeing such a strong magic vine and so many of them, the powerful people and puppets in the enlightenment realm, the soldiers lost their fighting spirit.
Some commanders who wanted to surrender even led their troops to retreat immediately.
Many soldiers began to flee everywhere without waiting to be attacked.
After the powerful people and commanders in the enlightenment realm of the front army were killed, the soldiers immediately began to surrender.
Ye Liuyun then commanded the magic vine to reinforce Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong and repel all the attacks of the Gale Dynasty.
And the five million troops of the Gale Dynasty were reduced to two million after this battle.
Of the three million people, one million died in battle, and the magic vine killed at least half of them.
The remaining elite army and the death army also killed more than 300,000 people. The rest were killed by the other two armies.
There were nearly two million surrendered soldiers. Among them, a legion of 500,000 people surrendered directly.
There were also six or seven armies of 100,000 people who surrendered with their entire team.
The rest were scattered soldiers who surrendered on their own.
Ye Liuyun did not reorganize these surrendered prisoners, but only arranged a military camp for them.
Let them wait in place and return to the dynasty, then take the resources and disband, and they don't need to fight anymore.
Then, Ye Liuyun and his three armies surrounded the army of the Gale Dynasty in the middle.
The Gale Dynasty immediately mobilized local troops to reinforce.
Ye Liuyun sent the sharp knife group to fight. Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong also sent out weaker forces to intercept those reinforcements.
Ye Liuyun also issued an ultimatum to the remaining two million people.
"In the next battle, Morteng, the puppets, the Death Legion and the Elite Corps will go all out." Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong cooperated with him to persuade them to surrender. Before they could start fighting again, soldiers kept coming to surrender. Those commanders could understand the soldiers' feelings, so even if they didn't want to betray the dynasty, they didn't want to stop the soldiers from returning home.
They didn't care if the soldiers ran away if they wanted. So the soldiers ran more and more.
In the end, of the two million people, only 500,000 were left.
Moreover, these 500,000 people originally belonged to various armies, and they did not cooperate with each other. They were completely scattered.
There are still many people who are struggling. They don't want to betray the dynasty, but they also want to go home and are hesitant.
Ye Liuyun simply didn't wait any longer and directly ordered a three-sided siege.
The demonic vines rushed forward first, followed by the metal puppets and their enlightened masters.
Then the main attack was the Death Legion, and even the elite regiment was just a show-off this time.
The armies of Chang Xinghai and Mu Shaoyong only cooperated with the encirclement and did not need to take action.
Ye Liuyun's special powers alone are enough. As soon as they killed those who fought to the death, the remaining people dispersed.
It's enough for the three legions to collect surrendered troops on the periphery.
The Death Legion also had a good time fighting the soldiers who fought to the death.
Now their fighting power completely overwhelms those soldiers. Even the elite soldiers of the Gale Wind Dynasty are no longer their opponents.
In the end, the five million army of the Gale Dynasty collapsed, and a total of 3.7 million soldiers surrendered.
Ye Liuyun simply went back and sent all the surrendered soldiers back.
The Shenwu Dynasty also directly distributed resources to them and disbanded them on the spot.
"It's all true! That's great!"
Those soldiers finally knew that they had not been deceived, and happily returned home with the resources, full of gratitude to the Shenwu Dynasty.
It would be much easier for Ye Liuyun to go back and fight against the Gale Dynasty.
He led the Death Legion away from the elite group and went to find the enemy to practice on his own.
