On the same day, Ma Zhanshan and Chu Yunfei led 270,000 soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd armies from Fengtian, along Xinmin Road, past Zhangwu, and through Jinzhou.
In less than half a day, they had reached Chengde, the capital of Rehe.
Tang Yulin's 100,000-strong army at the front line was completely useless as they fled.
By the time he reacted and prepared to provide support to the front line, the Feng army was only a dozen kilometers away from Cheng De.
At this moment, it was useless to support the front line.
Right now, he could only gather the remaining 100,000 troops and defend Cheng De with all his might. This was his final struggle.
Fortunately, his old troops were still around. There were about 50,000 veterans and 50,000 new recruits. It was not difficult for them to defend Chengde.
Outside Chengde City.
A huge army was currently marching towards Cheng De.
This troop had already marched for more than ten kilometers. From afar, it looked like a sky-blue dragon that stretched endlessly.
Ma Zhanshan and Chu Yunfei sat in the military vehicle, discussing the attack method of Cheng De.
The two of them were discussing using the cannons to open up a path and bombard the enemy. It was still the coordination of infantry and artillery, firing while attacking, striving to take down Chengde in one battle and take the first credit today.
"Let's fire at them first, then we'll charge. With the threat of the cannons, we can take Cheng De in one charge and capture Tang Yulin alive.”
Chu Yunfei pointed in the direction of Cheng De, extremely heroic.
"No, Tang Yulin's troops aren't all new recruits. He still has more than 50,000 old soldiers.”
"I've decided to use the infantry and artillery coordination tactic. Our soldiers will be able to take down Cheng De and capture Tang Yulin alive under the cover of the artillery.”
Ma Zhanshan shook his head. He didn't really approve of Chu Yunfei's tactic of bombarding with cannons and then charging forward.
Instead, they believed that the only way to quickly take down Cheng De was to use the infantry and artillery coordination tactic.
"Old Ma, if we use the tactic of combining infantry and artillery, our artillery will easily injure our soldiers. I, Chu Yunfei, don't agree with this tactic.”
Chu Yunfei didn't give any face and directly refuted Ma Zhanshan's plan.
"A skirmish can effectively defend against artillery fire. My plan is the most correct.”
"If we can't take down Chengde City in a single battle and decide the outcome with Tang Yulin in Chengde City, the number of soldiers we have to sacrifice will increase tenfold if both sides fall into a stalemate.”
"As soldiers, we can't let our individual sacrifices affect the overall situation. Otherwise, the number of people who will die in the end will be even greater.”
Ma Zhanshan looked at the young soldiers outside the carriage and explained to Chu Yunfei.
"You have a point. Alright, I, Chu Yunfei, can't win against you.”
"I'll take the 3rd army and attack the west gate. We have enough soldiers anyway. We'll attack two gates at the same time and ambush another army outside the other two gates.”
"This way, we can attack two city gates at the same time and use the tactics that we agree with. At the same time, we can prevent Tang Yulin from escaping in the chaos. This will allow us to successfully complete the commander's order to capture Tang Yulin alive.”
Chu Yunfei looked at Ma Zhanshan with a smile.
"This method is good. We'll use this plan.”
Ma Zhanshan nodded and agreed with Chu Yunfei's plan to split up.
Immediately, Chu Yunfei led the Third Army to the west gate, preparing to attack the two northwest gates with Ma Zhanshan at the same time, striving to take down Chengde in one battle.
Half an hour later, the two of them contacted each other via telegram. Their respective armies were ready!
With this order, both sides attacked Cheng De at the same time. For a time, the cannons around Cheng De boomed endlessly, causing the heavens and earth to shake, causing people to feel inexplicable fear.
After a tough battle, the defenders in the city did not want to fight at all. Even if Tang Yulin took out millions of dollars as military expenses, the people did not want to work for him. When they saw the Feng army enter the city, they surrendered or ran for their lives.
No one was willing to follow Tang Yulin anymore. Even if there were millions of dollars beside him, no one was willing to stop running and pick up the money.
Because they knew that no matter how good the money was, they had to have the life to spend it. If they lost their lives, there was no use in having so much money.
Could it be that they could bring these big bucks into their coffins and spend them underground?
It was obvious that they were not fools. After a while, they ran away from Tang Yulin.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one left in the Tang Manor, leaving only Tang Yulin alone. He stood there in a daze with a wooden expression.
"It's over…It's over…It's all over…"
Looking at the sky, Tang Yulin wanted to cry. He had no idea what was going on.
Just yesterday, Tang Yulin was still the Governor of Rehe. He ruled millions of people and had an army of 200,000. He was in high spirits and pointed his sword at Fengtian.
But after a night, the building collapsed and the 200,000 strong army was wiped out.
Having suffered such a crushing defeat and being alone now, he would probably have a miserable life or die somewhere else.
"I can't regret it to this extent! I can't regret it to this extent!"
Tang Yulin looked at the sky and felt extremely vexed. He regretted what he had done.
