Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 781 781 stay in Fengjiang
Fengjiang City, on the west side of the city, on both sides of a road, is full of bomb craters as far as the eye can see, like the surface of the moon.

It looks unremarkable here, but it is just an ordinary battlefield, but anyone who knows the details knows that this is the last road connecting Fengjiang and Dahua Empire.

With the passage of time, Tang Jun's intention to encircle Fengjiang became more and more obvious. Now Fengjiang has almost completely cut off the connection with Dahua.

On the way the military artillery shells are transported into the city, they will be intercepted by bombers and artillery fire from the Tang Army. Ten shells have been transported through the blockade, and almost only two or even one are left.

Although there are still many weapons and ammunition stored in Fengjiang City, this is not a solution after all.If the Tang army is really allowed to encircle Fengjiang, the situation of the Dahua army will definitely be even more embarrassing.

"General! You should leave here too." In the basement, Feng Kezhi's adjutant persuaded again worriedly.

He has been accompanying Feng Kezhi to command the battle in the Fengjiang area. Recently, the situation has taken a turn for the worse. The entire Fengjiang is almost surrounded by the Tang army.

Originally, as the general of the empire, Feng Kezhi should have left Fengjiang early to command the battle in a safer place.

But Feng Kezhi never left. He was in a hidden underground bunker on the outskirts of Fengjiang City. From the start of the Fengjiang Battle to today, he did not move his headquarters.

Although the top management of the Great China Empire hoped that Feng Kezhi would find a safer place to set up his headquarters, because the general's comfort was after all related to the dignity of the entire Great China Empire.

But Feng Kezhi believes that only if he stays on the front line, is he qualified to command the soldiers fighting on the front line and dispatch those commanders who are on the front line.

In fact, it was precisely because of Feng Kezhi's persistence and his actions that boosted morale that the defenders of the Dahua Empire have been able to persist until now, without showing any signs of collapse.

Theoretically, the Dahua army stationed in Fengjiang City should have shown signs of defeat after seeing the horror of the white phosphorus bomb and being surrounded on three sides.

But because of Feng Kezhi's encouragement, these Dahua troops did not collapse. Instead, they stationed in the streets and alleys of Fengjiang City in an orderly manner, and fought street battles with the Tang army.

Of course, in a sense, they were able to persist until now, and there was also a reason why Tang Jun stopped the street fighting and turned his attention to the field battles outside Fengjiang City.But I have to say that Feng Kezhi personally supervised the battle on the front line, and it did have some effect.

"I have no intention of leaving." Feng Kezhi smiled, and waved to his loyal subordinate: "Actually, this place is also safe."

"General, you can't make fun of your own life." The adjutant was still worried about Feng Kezhi's safety, and continued to persuade him.

Feng Kezhi was also idle when he was idle, so he explained to his subordinates: "Don't worry, I have already figured it out. It doesn't matter."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands on the city map of Fengjiang City: "Even if Fengjiang City is besieged, the peace talks will not last until Fengjiang City is completely fallen. Even if it is the Tang Army, it is impossible to eat and drink in a few days. Get rid of the 25 troops under my command!"

Today, there are indeed 25 Dahua troops in the encirclement. There are many elite Dahua troops in these troops, and their combat effectiveness is still guaranteed.

What's more, it is he himself who commands these troops, and it is not a problem for these troops to last for more than ten days, which he knows very well.

On the other side, there is no need to wait ten days, and within five days, the peace talks will probably end.The defeat of the Great China Empire has been decided, and it has long been unwilling to fight, and there will be no hesitation in signing a peace agreement.

As a general, he knew the content of the peace talks.Fengjiang City will serve as a trading port under the joint jurisdiction of the Dahua Empire and the Tang State... The Dahua troops surrounded in Fengjiang City will definitely be returned to the Dahua Empire at that time.

These are all certain things, so he is not in a hurry at all, but very calm.He finished these reasons briefly, and then looked at his confidant: "So, it's the best choice for me to stay and not leave."

Are you kidding, listen to those people and retreat to safety?I guess my own people will be controlled as soon as they arrive at the place, right?
To be able to become the great general of the empire, Feng Kezhi still knew some of Zhao Kai's ways of handling things.He knew that Zhao Kai had always been dissatisfied with him before the battle, and after this battle, it is estimated that he, the general, will definitely take the blame.

If you just take the blame casually, that's fine. At worst, you'll be demoted and punished to serve as a warning to others.But this time, Feng Kezhi knew that he was likely to be dealt with mainly.

Zhao Kai is different from Zhao Xian, the former emperor of the Great Hua Empire. Zhao Xian's idea is to suppress the royal power, use capable ministers, and maintain the balance of the court as much as possible.

But after his death, Zhao Kai succeeded to the throne. The emperor's thinking was exactly the opposite of that of Zhao Xian. He was nepotism, and he trusted the younger brothers who took the initiative to give power to him and protected him from enthroning and proclaiming himself emperor. Uncle is very relieved.

After all, compared with those Feng Kezhi, Shen Chuan, Chen Jing, Chu Muzhou and others in the court who said "this is not good, that is not good", the attitude of the royal family to support Zhao Kai is much more pleasing to the ear.

So Zhao Kai has been vigorously using the royal clan, including the two princes Zhao Chen and Zhao Jie.And since a few years ago, Zhao Kai has been looking for opportunities to replace the less obedient Feng Kezhi with the more obedient Zhao Chen.

It is almost impossible to hide this kind of thing from the eyes of those who are interested, and Feng Kezhi naturally knows it.It's just that before he thought that this matter was not that serious, at most it was just abdicating himself.

But later, Feng Kezhi completely angered Zhao Kai on issues such as opposing the war with the Tang Kingdom and appointing Qian Jinhang, and the nature of the problem changed completely.

Because of this, Feng Kezhi has never left the front line of Fengjiang, and has been trying to prove his role with his own efforts.

He hoped that Zhao Kai could give him a chance to abdicate and give way to the virtuous because of his stubborn defense of Fengjiang and his efforts to save the face of the battle.

But the sky failed, and the Tang army's attack was too sharp. Even with Qin's troops, Feng Kezhi couldn't defend Fengjiang.

All this made Feng Kezhi a little desperate and a little depressed.He knew very well that Zhao Kai must have a bad debt waiting for him.

"Alas..." Hearing Feng Kezhi's explanation, the adjutant also sighed in embarrassment. He understood Feng Kezhi's difficulties, and also knew that this general had been working hard for the military modernization of the Dahua Empire all these years.

Without Feng Kezhi, it is estimated that more than half of the current troops of the Dahua Empire are still using Cyric's flintlock guns.Without Feng Kezhi, it would be impossible for the Dahua Empire to have an air force, and it would be impossible to have so many advanced military factories.

But these contributions can't make up for Feng Kezhi's mistakes of losing again and again in the battle against Tang, and they can't make Emperor Zhao Kairong a military leader who has always been against the imperial power.

With Feng Ke there, someone in the military would stand up against Zhao Kai's decision, and those generals would have the backbone.

If Feng Kezhi dies, then Zhao Chen can take over everything, and Zhao Kai can control the army through the royal clan.

Just as the two were discussing whether to retreat quickly while there was still a road to get out of, dense gunshots rang out near the road full of bullet craters.

After a while, a Leopard tank covered Tang's grenadiers and charged up the embankment, and soon a second tank and a third tank came up.

On that day, the Tang army completely captured the last road connecting Fengjiang and the Dahua Empire, and surrounded Fengjiang City.

At the same time, the top management of the Dahua Empire confirmed a shocking news: Feng Kezhi, their imperial general, was actually still in the encirclement.

The telegram sent back by Feng Kezhi was concise and to the point, declaring that he would live and die with Fengjiang City, in order to repay His Majesty the Emperor's kindness.He promised in the telegram that the city is alive, and the city is lost!

For some unknown reason, after receiving Feng Kezhi's telegram, Zhao Kai, the emperor of the Dahua Empire, had some vague expectations for it in his heart.

For a moment, he even hoped that Fengjiang City would be breached by the Tang army in this way, and all of them would be occupied!

Anyway, in his opinion, in the content of the negotiation, the conditions have already been agreed. The Tang State and the Dahua Empire each occupy half of Fengjiang City, and the Dahua Empire will get back half of Fengjiang City no matter what after the war.

That being the case, wouldn't it be poignant to let the imperial general follow half of Fengjiang City calmly, and die tragically in the final stage of this failed war?
If it happened to be the last bullet that ended Feng Kezhi's life, it would be even more admirable.

Therefore, when the ministers at the bottom of the steps were discussing fiercely whether to deploy troops to launch a counterattack and reopen the passage, Zhao Kai looked down at these people without saying a word, his face as calm as a bend in a lake.

When someone suggested that Feng Kezhi lead his troops to break through, Zhao Kai laughed.He comforted everyone and pretended to be heartbroken.

However, he then left the Minister of Rites, Jiang Run, hinting to Jiang Shangshu that he, the emperor, was a little dissatisfied with the previous negotiation conditions.

Jiang Run heard Zhao Kai's meaning: it was nothing more than slowing down the speed of negotiations to increase the chances of Feng Kezhi having accidents in Fengjiang City.

So he immediately agreed with Zhao Kai's opinion, showing that the negotiation is very difficult and it will take some time.

Jiang Run's attitude made Zhao Kai very satisfied, but the news that came later made Zhao Kai not so satisfied.

Several countries in the Eastern Continent have signed peace treaties with Tang, and some have even settled their indemnities.This news suddenly pushed Chu State and Dahua Empire to the forefront. The whole world is watching them, waiting for them to sign and sign.
