After Liu Xiang gave the order, Yang Sen and the others also ordered their subordinates to surrender.
All the soldiers of the Sichuan Army felt as if they had been pardoned. Instead of being humiliated, they happily threw down their weapons and surrendered.
At this moment, it was already clear that they could not defeat the Gui Army. If they persisted, more people would definitely die.
It was better to surrender and save many lives.
The warlords who did not have any beliefs were naturally unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the interests of the warlords. They were only serving as soldiers to eat. No one was willing to really die.
Li Ruoyu was currently sitting in Liu Xiang's headquarters, while Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, and the others were all standing in front of him.
Other than Liu Xiang and Yang Sen, everyone else was dejected, as if it was the end of the world.
Li Ruoyu's eyes swept across them one by one, and finally stopped on Liu Xiang and Yang Sen.
"200,000 Sichuan troops lost to my 50,000 troops. Are you still not convinced?”Li Ruoyu asked coldly.
Liu Xiang looked at Li Ruoyu fearlessly.""The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. A defeat is a defeat, I have nothing to say.”
Yang Sen sighed." It's not that our Sichuan Army can't fight. It's just that your Gui Army's equipment is too good. If our Sichuan Army had the same equipment, even if it was better than now, we wouldn't have lost so badly. Your Gui Army can indeed fight.”
Li Ruoyu smiled coldly. He wanted to subdue Liu Xiang and Yang Sen.
First, because they played a huge role in the future Anti-Japanese War, leading the Sichuan Army to fight the Japanese army, Li Ruoyu admired them.
Secondly, these two people had a lot of influence in Sichuan. If they were subdued, they could help Li Ruoyu rule Sichuan.
However, Li Ruoyu did not have time to waste with them.
He had just received news that Yanfeng's army was about to reach the mountain city. He wanted to destroy Yanfeng's army first.
"Take them away and treat them well.”Li Ruoyu ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers growled and retreated with Liu Xiang and the others.
A moment later, Liao Lei brought his subordinates and the commanders of the Seventh Steel Corps to the headquarters.
"Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief, for successfully unifying the southwest.”"We only used six days to conquer three provinces and wipe out more than 400,000 troops," Liao Lei said excitedly. Only the commander-in-chief in the entire country could achieve such a feat!”
Liao Lei's words were not exaggerated at all. Tang Jiyao had ruled Yunnan for fifteen years. He had fought for so many years and still stood firm. However, Li Ruoyu only used two days to uproot him. This was definitely a miracle.
"Congratulations, Commander-in-chief, for unifying the southwest and accomplishing your great cause!”The generals roared.
Everyone thought that Li Ruoyu would say something to them with pride.
However, everyone found that Li Ruoyu's face was filled with coldness, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Commander-in-chief, is there anything wrong with what your subordinates said?" Liao Lei asked carefully. If there is, please point it out. We will definitely change it!”
Li Ruoyu slowly stood up. His eyes suddenly turned from a murderous look to an extremely profound one.
"I just received news that Yanfeng's army has a total of 350,000 soldiers. They are about to reach Chongqing and will reach Chengdu in two days!”
The moment he said that, all the generals gasped.
Of course, they knew that Yanfeng's army would come, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Li Ruoyu looked at the crowd." I know. In the past six days, both the 7th division and the 32nd division have been rushing around without stopping. After the battle, they immediately rushed on their way, and the brothers did not even have a good night's sleep. Some soldiers could even fall asleep while standing in the car. Everyone was already exhausted!”
"I also know that the supplies from the rear will take two days to arrive. Everyone's food supply was almost finished. In this situation, avoiding the enemy was the best choice.”
Li Ruoyu said in a deep voice," I once swore to everyone in the Gui Army and to the elders of Guang Xi. As long as I, Li Ruoyu, am alive, I will never let any force set foot in Guang Xi. I will use my life to protect everyone's safety!”
"So, I want to fight, but I'm not a tyrant. You've already paid enough in the past six days. If you want to retreat, I'll respect you. Retreat and defend. We'll fight again after everyone has rested!”
"You guys decide!" "This time, I respect everyone's opinion!" Li Ruoyu said.”
Long Wenzhang was the first to laugh." Commander-in-chief, I don't know about the other troops, but our 7th army is a wolf army. Every single one of our soldiers is a wolf soldier. Even if the wolves encounter tigers and leopards, we won't retreat a single step. We can only fight to the end!”
"Commander, I remember you telling me before. Even if a million soldiers were in front of us, why would the Wolf soldiers fear a battle? Life and death is just a small matter. If we lose the honor of our wolf soldiers, we won't be able to face our ancestors in the underworld. Therefore, I won't retreat!"
"Our wolf army will not retreat!" All the commanders of the Seventh Army shouted.
Liao Lei smiled at Li Ruoyu.""Commander, you heard it. The 7th army was a wolf army, and they were wolf soldiers. Are we the 32nd division?”
The brigade commander behind him roared,"We are also wolf soldiers, so we will not retreat! Wolf soldiers, why are you afraid of fighting again?"
Li Ruoyu nodded in satisfaction. This was the morale he wanted.
"Good!" "The four southwestern provinces have been unified by us, but now someone wants us to spit out the meat in our mouths." Li Ruoyu roared.”
Li Ruoyu said coldly,"Whoever dares to stop my Eight Osmanthus Wolf Soldiers, I will lead you and kill them all!"”
