Under Zheng Binggeng and Chen Bashi's instructions, the soldiers quickly raised the white flag.
All the soldiers of Jiang raised their hands behind the white flag and formally surrendered to the Gui army.
The Battle of Wu Han lasted less than three hours.
Almost half of the 5th and 11th armies were wiped out, and the rest surrendered.
Li Ruoyu entered the command center of the Jiang Army in WuHan. Zheng Binggeng and Chen Bashi were already waiting for him.
When they saw Li Ruoyu come in, the two of them saluted,"The defeated general greets Commander Li!”
Li Ruoyu did not even look at them. He sat on the chair and crossed his legs."Have you asked Old Jiang for help?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly."Commander-in-chief, your command is correct. We really couldn't hold on, so we asked for help!”
Li Ruoyu nodded in satisfaction." So, Old Jiang still doesn't know that I've taken over the city?"”
Zheng Binggeng nodded." We don't know yet. We surrendered not long after we sent the distress telegram!" I really can't take it anymore."
"Go!" Li Ruoyu looked at him.
"Hmm?" Zheng Binggeng and Chen Bashi were dumbfounded.
"Send a telegram to Old Jiang. Tell him that you have surrendered and that I have taken over Wu Han. I'll be waiting for him in Wuhan1. If he dares to come, I'll make Wuhan1 his burial ground!”
Zheng Binggeng and Chen Bashi were sweating profusely as they listened. They smiled awkwardly and said,""Commander-in-chief, we are all students of the principal. Send this kind of telegram
Li Ruoyu looked at them coldly." You are students of Huangpu. When Mr. Sun founded Huangpu, he wanted you to carry forward the principle of love, sincerity, unity and cooperation.”
"What is the meaning of this? It's not for you to love each other, but for you to love the people. But what have you done? Fighting all day long, causing the people to live in misery. Even if you die, do you have the face to see Mr. Sun?”
Zheng Binggeng and Chen Bashi lowered their heads in shame. Old Jiang was indeed the principal, but Mr. Sun was the founding father of the country. They were born in Huangpu, so how could they forget Mr. Sun's instructions?
Li Ruoyu said coldly,"I've sent a message to the whole country. Our Gui army started the war to save the country and the people." In this battle, I want to end the war with war and end the situation of the warlords. Now I'm giving you a chance to make up for your mistakes. If you're still Huangpu students and still love this country, do as I say!”
Zheng Binggeng and Chen Bashi sighed. It was impossible for them to be brainwashed by Li Ruoyu, but how could a defeated general dare to speak up?
If they did not do as he said, they might lose their lives.
"Yes, we'll send the telegram immediately!”The two nodded.
After the two of them left, the generals of the various troops walked in.
Li Ruoyu looked at them and said," Everyone, we have taken down Wu Han, but this is just an appetizer." We still have to work hard to make the real big dishes so that Old Jiang and the others can have a good taste!”
The generals were already rubbing their fists excitedly, and everyone's eyes were beating with a strong fighting spirit.
In the past, they fought for themselves, while territories fought for money and power.
But today, they were fighting for their country, for the sake of the nation, for the sake of the people of the world. Therefore, everyone's hearts were surging with hot blood, and they wanted to rush into the battlefield immediately.
"Commander-in-chief, give the order. Our wolf soldiers have plenty of strength. We don't need to rest. We can set off immediately!”Everyone shouted.
Li Ruoyu smiled slightly, but his expression turned solemn."Our main force is going to leave this place, but we can't lose Wu Han. Once we lose it, our next plan will be in vain.”
"So…I need someone to stay behind and defend against the attack of the million strong army!”
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately fell silent.
If he stayed behind alone, he would have a slim chance of survival against the million-strong army.
Li Ruoyu swept his gaze across the crowd." I know. Everyone wants to charge into the enemy's line of battle and kill the enemy.”
"But if there are those who charge, there must be those who stand at the back to protect everyone!”
"Those who stay might feel wronged, but if no one stays, all my plans will go to waste. Therefore, the person who stayed behind is…"
Before he could finish, Xia Wei suddenly took a step forward."Commander-in-chief, don't say anymore. I'm willing to stay with my men.”
Everyone turned to look at Xia Wei. This Gui Army general had once made outstanding military achievements and was heavily relied on by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.
Before Liao Lei and Li Ruoyu appeared, he was the number one general of the Gui Army.
No one had expected that Xia Wei, who would never be able to stay, would actually take the initiative to request to stay. This was a life-and-death battle!
Li Ruoyu was also shocked. He had hoped that the younger generals would stay, but he didn't expect Xia Wei to take the initiative.
Looking at Xia Wei's slightly pale hair, Li Ruoyu couldn't help but say,"General Xia!"
Xia Wei waved his hand to stop Li Ruoyu and smiled,"Before I came out, Officer Li and Officer Bai told me. We old generals have to share your worries. You are young and the future of the country. All we old people can do is to protect you from behind.”
"Young man, you should charge forward boldly. I'll bring the veterans of Bagui to support you. This wall is indestructible. As long as you don't win, we won't fall!”
Xia Wei looked at Li Ruoyu and then at everyone else."Everyone, follow the commander-in-chief. He had made contributions and returned in triumph. I, Xia Wei, will be waiting for your good news in Wu Han. Remember, we, the Eight Osmanthus Wolf Soldiers, will fight to the death!”
Tears welled up in Li Ruoyu's eyes as he saluted Xia Wei."Thank you, General Xia. We will not let you down!”
Xia Wei stroked his hair." So what if I'm white-haired and guarding an isolated city? Even if there's only one of us left, we'll still be unstoppable!"”
