The First Army and the Second Army had been trapped for an entire day and night.
Ever since Hu Zongnan was captured alive, they had given up on the idea of breaking out of the encirclement. The two armies dug deep trenches and waited for reinforcements.
Moreover, Gu Zhutong and Jiang Dingwen had already received a telegram from Old Jiang, telling them to hold on for another three days. Reinforcements would definitely arrive in three days.
Gu Zhutong and Jiang Dingwen were determined to hold on for three days no matter what.
When the army arrived, they would destroy Li Ruoyu's 7th Army.
On the afternoon of the second day after they surrounded Jiang's army, a large number of troops suddenly arrived.
Li Ruoyu turned around and saw that all of them were soldiers in the Gui Army uniform. There were at least ten thousand of them.
"Young General!" A battle general ran up to Li Ruoyu and saluted him with a smile.
"General Liao, why are you here?" Li Ruoyu asked in surprise.
It was none other than the number two general in the Gui Army, Liao Lei.
This person was proficient in the art of war and was brave in battle. Before Li Ruoyu appeared, he was the number one general of the Gui Army.
Li Ruoyu was also very appreciative of his method of using troops. When the two experts met, they had the posture of appreciating each other.
"I've been ordered by Chief Li to bring an entire army here. They're now under your command." Liao Lei smiled. Inspector Li and Inspector Bai have said that in this battle, the children of the Eight Osmanthus are under your command. I won't return if I can't win!"
Li Ruoyu nodded his head in gratitude. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had sent Liao Lei here to tell him that the Gui Army was fully supporting him in battle.
At this moment, he was temporarily in charge of the Gui Army.
"General, Liao Lei awaits your orders!" Liao Lei suddenly shouted sternly.
Li Ruoyu didn't give in and nodded seriously,""I heard that Old Jiang has already dispatched an army to reinforce us. I was worried that I didn't have enough troops to wipe out the surrounded enemies. You came just in time. With you, it's enough!”
Li Ruoyu immediately ordered Liao Lei to bring his troops to the defensive position.
The moment they joined, the two divisions of the 7th army were freed.
Li Ruoyu immediately called the two masters and Long Wenzhang over.""Everyone, Old Jiang's army will arrive in less than three days. If we don't annihilate the besieged army within three days, we'll be attacked from both sides.”
"So, I decided to attack forcefully and force Jiang's army to surrender!" Li Ruoyu looked at them.”
The three of them looked at each other. Long Wenzhang suddenly asked,""General, what should we do if Jiang's army refuses to surrender?”
Li Ruoyu sneered," I've already given them a chance. If they don't know how to appreciate my kindness, I'll destroy them in one fell swoop."”
"Generals, listen up!" Li Ruoyu suddenly shouted.
The three of them immediately puffed out their chests and looked at Li Ruoyu seriously.
" Wolf soldiers charge. Death awaits." "Pass down my order! Those who are shot in the face will be rewarded!" Li Ruoyu roared. Those who were shot in the back would be killed without mercy! I, the Octagon Wolf Soldiers, only have heroes who die with their chests held high, never cowards who get shot in the back!”
"Tell all the soldiers!" Li Ruoyu shouted,"The battle flag is not falling, the charge will not stop." I will personally protect the flag. If I don't retreat, no one is allowed to retreat!”
The three of them were shocked, but Li Ruoyu didn't give them any room to negotiate. He shouted,"Let's go!"
A moment later, all the cannons of the Gang Qi Army suddenly roared and fired at Jiang's camp.
Li Ruoyu personally carried the flag and roared,""Brothers of the Gang Qi Army, follow me to kill the enemies. There was death but no life, there was advance but no retreat! Kill!"
"Kill them!" All the soldiers were fired up, and they followed Li Ruoyu and charged forward.
Li Ruoyu's guards also went crazy. All the soldiers recklessly blocked in front of Li Ruoyu, blocking the rain of bullets for him.
Liao Lei's eyes turned red when he saw Li Ruoyu personally carrying the flag and charging at the front.
"Brothers, did you see that? That's what we Guangxi men should be like. Raise your guns and shoot fiercely to protect Commander Li!”
In fact, Liao Lei didn't need to say anything. The soldiers he brought with him had already been ignited by Li Ruoyu's spirit.
They had never seen such a general, charging forward and sharing life and death with the soldiers.
"Kill! Protect Commander Li!"
"Protect the number one general of the Eight Osmanthus!"
Bullets and artillery shells rained down on Jiang's army, and the fierce firepower left Jiang's army without the ability to fight back.
One by one, the soldiers of the Steel Seventh Army fell to the ground as they charged forward. However, with the cover of powerful firepower and Li Ruoyu carrying the flag in front of them, the Steel Seventh Army quickly broke through Jiang's position.
The battle lasted for an hour. The Gang Seventh Army wiped out over 5,000 of Jiang's soldiers before retreating.
At this moment, the First Army and the Second Army had been completely defeated. Each of the two armies had tens of thousands of men left. They no longer had the advantage in numbers.
Li Ruoyu returned to the camp with a face full of smoke. He handed the flag to his subordinates and then took the microphone to personally shout at Jiang's camp.
"Brothers of the First Army and the Second Army, listen up. I am Li Ruoyu, the commander of the Seventh Army. I am the same Li Ruoyu who beat you into this state!”
"That charge just now was just to teach you a lesson." Li Ruoyu shouted. I want to tell you that there is no need to wait for your reinforcements. If I want to destroy you, I can do it today!”
"I haven't killed you yet because we're all Chinese, and we're all part of this country's armed forces. We don't deserve to die under the guns of our own people, so I've spared you until now!”
"But my patience has run out. I will only give you ten minutes to consider. If you are willing to surrender, I, Li Ruoyu, welcome you. If you don't want to surrender, I'll launch an all-out attack in ten minutes. At that time, he would kill them all without mercy. He would not want anyone who surrendered!”
Li Ruoyu's words shocked the entire Jiang Army. Gu Zhutong and Jiang Dingwen looked at each other in a daze. For a moment, they were at a loss.
All the officers looked at Jiang Dingwen and Gu Zhutong, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Jiang Dingwen trembled as he looked at Gu Zhutong and asked,""What should we do? Surrender or not?”
