Chapter 219: Battle of Moon Hill 1
After this, the six legions of the Iron Sword Federation began to retreat towards the periphery, gradually breaking away from the suppression of the realm exerted by the top ranks of the Diamond Principality, such as Lionheart, Giberni, Biland, and Bhadra, and rushed to retreat to the east.
If you don't retreat, it's already done, and if you retreat, it's even more chaotic.
In the midst of the panic retreat, some of the warships of the six legions of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office rushed left and right, and even collided with each other.
The third and fourth legions of the Military Affairs Office of the Principality of Diamond naturally did not stop there, and nearly 2,000 warships of the two legions, taking advantage of the high morale, took advantage of the high morale and carried out the pursuit of the six legions of the retreating Iron Sword Federation Military Office.
The sun is blazing and the sea of clouds is vast.
The six legions of the Iron Sword Federation Military Affairs Office, led by House and Senlan, did their best, while trying their best to resist the attacks of the top ranks led by Lionheart and Ghiberney of the two legions of the Military Affairs Office of the Principality of Diamonds, while guiding the six legions of the Iron Sword Federation Military Affairs Office to retreat towards the east at high speed.
Under the cover of the 16th and 20th Army Corps of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office, the 4th, 5th, 7th, and 9th Army Corps of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office quickly broke away from the war group and flew farther and farther.
The 3rd and 4th Legions of the Military Office of the Principality of Diamond pursued closely, until the 16th and 20th Legions of the Military Office of the Iron Sword Federation were in urgent pursuit, and the resistance became more and more fierce, and the battle losses gradually increased.
The war is over, and Lionheart and Gilberney have returned to the Diamond ** ship one after another.
Kaleido-ryu gave the order, and the warships and sergeants of the 3rd and 4th Legions of the Military Office of the Principality of Diamond began to assemble in the sky.
After the assembly was completed, the Third Legion of the Military Affairs Office of the Principality of Diamonds was on alert to prevent the six legions of the Military Affairs Office of the Iron Sword Federation from organizing a counterattack. The five corps of the Fourth Army of the Military Affairs Office of the Principality of Diamonds flew to the ground as a brigade, and while retreating, they cleaned up the bodies of the fallen sergeants on both sides.
It wasn't until dusk that the 3rd and 4th Army Corps of the Principality of Diamond withdrew to Baiyun Peak.
The two legions thundered and attacked 300,000 sergeants from the six legions of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office with 100,000 sergeants, and won a complete victory.
The Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Sixteenth, and Twentieth Army Corps of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office gathered up the remnants and retreated to the Xiling Plain.
In this battle, the 3rd and 4th Army Corps of the Military Affairs Office of the Principality of Diamond suffered a total of less than 10,000 casualties and damaged more than 100 warships; More than 80,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 800 enemy ships were destroyed, and countless weapons and equipment and magical ornaments were captured. The Fourth and Seventh Legions of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office suffered heavy losses, and the Fifth and Ninth Legions also suffered heavy losses. In the whole attack battle, only the 16th and 20th Army Corps of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office were far away from the center of the fierce battle, and the losses were small, and the other was the loss of some warships and sergeants during the interception mission during the retreat.
Looking back on this battle, if it weren't for Overseer Haus, who saw that the situation was not good, sent a timely signal to retreat, and cooperated with the top ranks of the army to resist stubbornly during the subsequent retreat, I was afraid that the six legions of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office would all be wiped out at Baiyun Peak.
The Iron Sword Federation Camp in the Xiling Plain is 3,500 kilometers away from Daqing Mountain and 3,100 kilometers away from Moon Mountain.
It is said that just twenty minutes before the outbreak of the air battle at Baiyun Peak, the sun was shining on Baiyun Peak, the sea of clouds was vast, and the vast airspace south of Moon Mountain, which was 1,800 kilometers away from Baiyun Peak, was also full of sunshine and a vast sea of clouds.
It's just that the vast sea of clouds south of Moon Mountain is dark clouds, layered on top of each other, with lightning and thunder.
To the southeast, at the edge of the thunderstorm area, at the end of the dark clouds, a fleet was silent, advancing at breakneck speed.
This fleet is the Second Route Army composed of the 21st, 31st, 35th, and 38th Army Corps of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office, which started from the Iron Sword Federation Camp in the Xiling Plain and launched an attack on the Moon Mountain Bright Federation garrison. Among them, 500 warships of the 31st Army formed a phalanx and cruised at the forefront of the fleet. Five hundred battleships of the 35th Army formed a phalanx and cruised in the left rear of the 31st Army. Five hundred battleships of the 38th Army formed a phalanx and cruised in the right rear of the 31st Army. The battleship phalanx of the three legions formed a large triangular formation, and the 500 battleships of the 21st legion formed a phalanx, cruising in the center of this triangular formation, and dispatching and responding in the center.
At the center of the 500 battleship phalanx of the 21st Army was the flagship of this fleet, the Lev.
Sitting on the Levu were the fleet's commander Maraon, the first deputy commander Birat, the second deputy commander Bazar, the overseer Bria, and the accompanying magister Arika. In addition, there is a personal guard squad of 100 personal guards.
With an hour's voyage to Moon Hill to go, Maraon, who was standing on the command platform of the Lev, gave the order for all the sergeants of the fleet to draw their swords and crossbows, and entered a state of combat readiness in advance. As long as there is an enemy situation in front of you, you can immediately charge into battle and fight quickly.
Although the reconnaissance had already paid off, and within five hundred kilometers south of Moon Mountain, lightning and thunder were roaring, and dark clouds covered the land, and Maraon was mentally prepared, but when the fleet came to the edge of the thunderstorm area, Maraon still frowned.
Malaon is not worried about thunderstorms, and the fleet can ignore them and sail under or above the clouds. Maraon was worried that the fleet of the Bright Federation would be ambushed in the layers of dark clouds and launch a sneak attack when his own fleet passed by.
"Woo-la-la!" In the dark clouds ahead, blood-red electric light flashed continuously, reflecting the sky red.
"Wash! Is there an update on the scout? Maraon asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the commander, the latest news shows that the enemy is entrenched in Moon Mountain and has always stood still." Behind Maraon, the leader of the personal guard team stepped forward and replied respectfully.
"When did you get this latest news back?" Maraon asked.
"An hour ago." The captain of the guard, named Vash, replied respectfully.
"An hour ago?" When Maaon heard this, his brow furrowed even tighter.
Maraon paused for a moment, and then said solemnly: "In an hour, the warships of the Bright Federation can fly five hundred kilometers from Moon Mountain to this place. ”
"Your Excellency, the commander is full of dark clouds ahead, and it is very easy to lurk in danger. In my opinion, let the fleet go around the northeast edge of the thunderstorm area. Or, let the fleet climb quickly and fly over the clouds. On Maraon's left-hand side, the first lieutenant commanding envoy Birat said solemnly.
"Your Excellency, you are right. The First Lieutenant Commander was right. In an hour, the enemy can fly 500 kilometers, lurk in the dark clouds, and wait for our fleet to pass by, and launch a sneak attack. I don't think there is a need for our fleet to move forward in danger. Bypassing the northeastern edge of the thunderstorm area, or climbing quickly and crossing directly above the thunderstorm area, will not delay the fighter too long. I calculated that when Lord Trende arrived at Daqing Mountain, our fleet would be able to rush to Moon Mountain, and even if it was behind, it would not be too far behind. On Maraon's right, the second lieutenant commanded Bazar.
"In today's battle, the one who takes the first credit will definitely be ranked in the great temple and the world, so we must not be half a step behind Lord Trent. Besides, Daqingshan is far away from Moon Mountain, and there is no reason for us to lag behind Lord Trefde. Maraon said.
"What do you mean?" Bilat looked at Malaon.
"Send the fast boat, go deep into the dark clouds, and thoroughly investigate all directions. The fleet followed the clippers and quickly passed. Maraon said.
"That's fine. However, it is necessary to order all parties to be vigilant and ready to fight at any time. Birat said.
"Send the order down, send the clippers as far as possible, go deep into the thunderstorm area, and thoroughly investigate all directions!" Maraon exclaimed in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Vash replied respectfully, and immediately instructed the heralds in the control cabin to convey Maraon's order.
Ten seconds later, small ships flew out of the battleship phalanx of the 31st, 35th, and 38th legions, and shot forward as fast as arrows, covering the entire thunderstorm area.
"Order all parties, concentrate on vigilance, move forward at full speed, and be sure to arrive at Moon Mountain at the appointed time without delay!" Maraon exclaimed in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Vash answered, and then instructed the herald in the control module to give the order again.
"Not surprisingly, when we swept the Moon Mountain and pacified the enemies of the Bright Federation, Lord Trent arrived at Daqing Mountain. Therefore, we must win the victory, win the first merit, and help Lord Trende win a great victory with the strength of the great man of Trumund! Maraon said.
The fleet flew straight ahead and flew straight into the thunderstorm area.
For the sake of safety, the altitude of the fleet has climbed a little, and it is a full 800 meters from the dark clouds.
Maraon stood on the command podium of the Lev and looked down, but saw thick dark clouds cascading on top of each other, like a raging tide.
In the raging dark clouds, lightning and thunder rumbled.
The fleet had sailed twenty-five kilometers forward when a red dot on one of the scrolls that Vash was holding suddenly flashed.
When Vash opened the scroll and looked at it, he couldn't help but shout urgently: "Commander! One hundred and fifty kilometers ahead, the fleet of the Bright Federation was discovered! ”
"Pass the order and get ready for battle!" Maraon exclaimed in a deep voice.
The glass ball at the top of the Lady Story's watchtower glowed bright red, flickering fast and slow.
With the flickering of red light, the speed of the entire fleet slowed down.
At the same time, the phalanx of warships of the 31st, 35th, and 38th Army Corps, which were distributed on the periphery, also converged a little towards the center.
At this time, more definite news came back.
"The reconnaissance reported that in the clouds one hundred and fifty kilometers ahead, four warship phalanxes of the Bright Federation were found. In other directions, nothing has been found for the time being. Vash said.
"Four battleship phalanxes, it seems that the enemy of Moon Mountain can't bear it after all, and they come out." Maraon said.
A smile appeared on Maraon's solemn countenance. The enemy did not move, and Malaon could not judge the enemy's intentions, and his heart was apprehensive. Now that the enemy has moved and detected the enemy's whereabouts, Malaon is relieved.
