Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2478 A million soldiers cross the river, Matsushita regrets but it's too late.

Although Menelaus and Han Yanshou wanted to help Zheng Qilong, Huang Tianhua struck with one hammer while another swept towards them, forcing them to take care of themselves first.

"Ding! Huang Tianhua's divine power skill effect two activated. Innate divine power. When dealing with enemies using light weapons, suppress their combat power by 1 to 3 points."

Menelaus's combat strength -3, current combat strength has decreased to...

Han Yanshou's combat strength -3, current combat strength has decreased to..."

Although Huang Tianhua's negative suppression skills are not very strong in close combat, given the current difference in strength between the two sides, the suppression effect is still significant in the end.

"boom!"

Although the hammer blow wasn't primarily aimed at them, Menelaus and Han Yanshou were still forced back several steps by the impact, and the tiger's mouth on their hands was completely cracked.

As for Zheng Qilong, the main target of the attack, his weapon was completely destroyed by this hammer blow, which landed on his chest with undiminished force.

"kill!"

After killing Zheng Qilong, Huang Tianhua set his sights on the last two remaining men, Menelaus and Han Yanshou.

Facing Huang Tianhua, who possessed combat power comparable to a final-tier god-general, Menelaus was severely injured after three blows. Then, Huang Tianhua's silver hammer landed on his head.

As for Han Yanshou, who survived to the end, it wasn't because he was strong enough, but because Huang Tianhua intended to capture him alive. After all, he was not only the commander-in-chief of the city, but the Han family was also a prominent family in the Eastern Yi region.

Unfortunately, although Huang Tianhua was willing to spare his life, Han Yanshou was determined to die and crashed into his own steel fork and died.

The Han family was not only a prominent clan of the Eastern Yi, but Han Zhigu was also a direct descendant of Yelü Abaoji. People like them naturally had a relatively high level of loyalty.

Han Xin and Huang Tianhua felt some regret over Han Yanshou's death, but that was all. After all, the Han Dynasty didn't absolutely need him.

Inside Gulan City, Han Yanshou, the commander-in-chief, had already died in battle. What will remain for the ordinary soldiers to resist?

Apart from the two civil officials, Guan Zunwen and Zhang Gu, who committed suicide by sword, all the other civil and military officials laid down their weapons and ultimately chose to kneel down and surrender.

From then on, within just a few days, the third line of defense of the Eastern Yi, apart from Pingcheng which was personally guarded by Wang Changluo, had fallen into the hands of Han Xin.

It even includes Fenglingdu, the most suitable river crossing base for green waters.

If only one of the three cities remains, although it may still pose a threat to Han Xin's defenses, its deterrent effect will be reduced to its lowest point.

Now, Han Xin was seriously considering crossing the river.

………………

Inside the military tent of the Sun Kingdom in Nanping Road!
In less than a month, Nurhaci broke his alliance with Yelü Abaoji, striking at Yelü Abaoji's weak point and delivering a vicious backstab.

Not long after, Fu Youde and Wu Zixu landed on Dongping Road, putting Yelü Abaoji in a state of complete encirclement.

Of course, what frustrated the Sun Kingdom the most was the constant mistakes made by Yelü Abaoji's forces in battle.

Apart from Wang Changluo's minor victory, Yelü Abaoji has been in a state of constant setbacks since the start of the war.

This crucial third line of defense, however, failed to achieve its intended purpose, with two cities inflicting extremely limited casualties on the Han army.

If he couldn't deplete the Han army's strength, what was the point of setting up these defensive lines? In short, from the start of the Han Dynasty's formal campaign against the barbarians, less than three months had actually passed.

However, in less than three months, Yelü Abaoji's performance had already caused the Sun Kingdom to lose confidence in him.

"Uncle, Yelü Abaoji is not up to the task. Our country must make preparations as soon as possible!" Muren sighed helplessly.

In all matters, one should consider the possibility of failure before considering victory, especially in situations where the outlook is not optimistic.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to prepare for the worst.

Since Matsushita Iso was able to be released by Matsushita Ao to serve as governor, his abilities in all aspects are undoubtedly outstanding.

Muren had made his meaning so clear, so of course he understood what the other person was saying.

However, he was still unwilling to give up.

"Uncle, if Yelü Abaoji really loses, we won't be able to hold Nanping Road!" Seeing Matsushita Izō's unwillingness, Mutsuhito could only continue to persuade him.

After all, the decision-makers in Nanping Road will always be Matsushita Iso, not him.

As he said, if Yelü Abaoji really lost, his hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't even stop the Han army, let alone their two hundred thousand troops.

In particular, the 100,000 troops among them were naval forces, making it even more impossible for them to stop Han Xin's army.

The powerful navy forced the Fierce Whale Legion to resort to guerrilla warfare at sea, avoiding direct confrontation.

However, similarly, if Yelü Abaoji is not available to deal with the main force of the Han army, we can't let them send their navy to fight the Han army on land, can we?
For a country like the Sun Kingdom, surrounded by sea, naval power is of paramount importance and a major force in their national defense development.

If those two dared to deploy their naval forces to land for battle, they might win, but if they lost, Matsushita Osamu would surely kill them alive upon returning home.

Therefore, given Yelü Abaoji's incompetence, their defeat was almost predictable.

"Sigh, if I had known that Yelü Abaoji was so useless, why did I bother cooperating with him?" Matsushita Inosuke said with some annoyance.

After cooperating with Yelü Abaoji, they did indeed directly obtain half of Nanping Road from him, but before they could even enjoy it, they threw it away. What use was it then?

In fact, their original half will most likely be thrown out as well.

Choosing the wrong teammates this time was a major mistake that Matsushita Iso deeply regretted.

Matsushita Osamu gave him immense power, but similarly, the blame for such a major mistake, especially the loss of the bridgehead for the Sun Kingdom's vision of the Apocalypse Continent, should almost entirely fall on him.

Power and responsibility are always relative.

"Uncle Wang, there's no point in saying more about this."

"Moreover, if we do not help Yelü Abaoji, the Eastern Yi will only perish even faster."

"At that time, would the Great Han Dynasty really let go of the last remaining Nanping Road?" Mu Ren shook his head and said.

Clearly, he was much more clear-headed at this moment than Matsushita Iso.
