Text Chapter 824 The mourning soldiers will win
"Not bad." Feradimir nodded in acknowledgement. He knew that it would not work if he didn't tell the truth, and Anatoly also needed to know the truth to make the next battle plan.
Sure enough, seeing that Feradimir admitted it, Anatoly was overjoyed, "Okay, the national teacher did a good job." If that is the case, what do we do next? ”
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince, in my humble opinion, this news should be spread out first at this moment, it is best to cause panic among the Celestial Empire army, as long as their morale is low, then it is time for us to fight back with all our might." Feradimir had already taken a countermeasure, and when asked, he said it unceremoniously.
"Yes, yes, that's what I did." Anatoly kept nodding his head, and his eyes were constantly flashing. This is an opportunity for him to fight back, and he will naturally not let it go easily.
Zhang Chao was seriously injured in the assassination, and the news began to spread to the entire territory of the Rus' country, and it didn't take long for it to reach the ears of Zhao Yun, who had already passed through the city of Sanlilbe.
When they first heard the news, Zhao Yun and the others naturally didn't believe it. But then there was news from within Tianyan, saying that something did happen, but the emperor Zhang Chao was not worried about his life, but his body was relatively weak. And the emperor hopes to wait for him to recover from his illness and see the army return to the division victoriously.
This letter was written by Pang Tongjun and stamped with the imperial seal of the Jade Seal.
Although it was not written by Zhang Chao himself, Zhao Yun was indeed like a treasure, and after seeing this will, he immediately summoned all the generals on the Northwest Front Line who could be found and explained the situation.
Zhao Yun's loyalty was naturally not a problem, and he was worried that other generals would have different ideas. And now that Zhang Chao is seriously injured, if the army is disheartened because of this, I am afraid that it will not win the battle, and whether it can survive will have to be said.
Zhao Yun's worries are not unreasonable. When they learned that Zhang Chao had been so badly wounded by the assassination that they could not even write the decree now, several of the generals fell silent. First, they are thinking about how serious the matter is, and secondly, they are thinking about what they will do in the future.
is still the same sentence, the Celestial Empire was founded by Zhang Chao, and now the situation in the world is not determined, and this position is naturally irreplaceable. If there is really an accident, I am afraid that the Great Celestial Empire will fall apart, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will not be long, and how I should choose it is also necessary to consider it in advance.
Perhaps it was with this worry that Zhao Yun gathered everyone together. After reading out the latest decree, when he didn't think about it, he said bluntly: "Everyone has seen the holy decree, and the emperor hopes that when he recovers, he can see our army return to the division in triumph, so there is not much time left for us." Now I'm announcing my battle plan..."
Zhao Yun used a quick knife to attract everyone's attention, and announced on the spot a war plan, he wanted to use war to enrich the minds of the generals, so that they could take care of other things without flaw.
On the northwest route, an all-out attack was adopted, and on the northeast line, Pang Tong and Feng Ji adopted a plan to mourn the troops after consultation.
As the ancient saying goes, mourning soldiers will win.
Pang Tong wanted to use this way to motivate the army, and under the banner of avenging the emperor Zhang Chao, he launched a new round of the most fierce attack on the Yakov army, which had been surrounded and could not be attacked for a long time.
In order to achieve their goal, they even required any general on the regiment to wear a white cloth on his head to remind himself that their emperor Zhang Chao was still on the hospital bed, and his life and death were uncertain.
The white cloth used only when carrying the dead made the atmosphere in the army much more depressing, but it cannot be denied that it could indeed play a role in motivating the morale of the army. Especially the most loyal 50,000 Zhangjia soldiers, they wore white cloths on their heads regardless of generals and soldiers, and said that with just one order, they would launch a death attack on the Rus' army, which was a kind of momentum that would not be returned until the goal was achieved.
Originally, when General Yakov learned that the emperor of the Celestial Empire had been seriously injured in assassination, he was still happily thinking about how to take the opportunity to counterattack. In his experience, even if something happens to the master, it may not take long for the slave to break up, and then it will be time for him to fight back with all his might.
It's just that he never expected that the army of the Celestial Empire would fight back against them with great momentum, and the attack was so fierce that it had never been seen before.
The unexpected actions of the Celestial Empire army, the attack that was not afraid of death, made the Rus' army suffer at the first touch. Faced with a continuous attack like the waves of the sea, after only three days, it was impossible to resist.
"Report to the general, the western defense line has been lost, and the enemy has been killed..."
"Report to the general, the eastern and western defense lines have been lost, our army's grain and grass have been taken away, and the situation is critical..."
"Report to the general, the southern defense line is lost, and they are taking advantage of the situation to attack the east, let's retreat, otherwise there will be no chance."
A subordinate general came into the account to report, and Yakov was shocked that he had already stood up from the big chair, he didn't expect that the army of the Celestial Empire would launch such a powerful attack when the emperor was critically ill, so it seemed that this time it was really impossible to hold on.
It's just that knowing this, Yakov has no intention of escaping, he can be here today entirely because of the kindness of Prince Anatoly, and now is the time for him to repay.
"Someone, pass on my orders, and the whole army will fight back with me, even if they don't want us to live, then we will fight with them. Bypassing the main forces of the enemy, we headed straight for the Emperor's camp of the Celestial Empire. Yakov's firm voice came, and as long as he could kill the emperor of the Celestial Empire before the Great Tent, or even the emperor of the Celestial Empire, then maybe the Celestial Empire army would be self-defeating.
Yakov fought with the mentality of fighting against the odds. If he had used this method before, it might have worked, but now the 50,000 elite Zhang Jiajun is waiting for him, and he is preparing to ask for some interest for their emperor's injury. Now that someone has taken the initiative to send it to the door, how can they be polite?
Eight miles away from Zhang's super tent, Yakov led an army of 50,000 and met 50,000 Zhang's army face to face. What followed was a life-and-death struggle, and in front of the elite Zhangjia Army's iron cavalry, all 50,000 Rus' troops died, including the main general Yakov, and no one survived, which was also the only war in which the Celestial Empire army did not even want to be captured.
The war lasted for four consecutive days, and the Yakov army was annihilated, which also opened the way for the Celestial Empire army to go directly to the city of Great Rus, the capital of the Rus' state.
With the fall of Yakov's army, the city of Great Rus will face an attack by two million troops of the Celestial Empire's two major route armies in the northeast and northwest. And at this moment, in the hands of the prince Anatoly in the capital, there are only 300,000 soldiers.
Under such a critical situation, Anatoly asked the soldiers to strengthen the city defenses, and at the same time asked the Kazakh and Ukrainian armies to intervene, and at the same time ordered someone to send a message to General Viktor in the city of Beitki, asking him to wave his army north and come to the rescue.
Victor is one of the only five tigers still alive. At the same time, he was also a great general in the era of the powerful emperor of Yaxiongfu.
It is precisely because of the many years of fighting with Yaxiongfu's powerful emperor in the south and the north that he has a clearer analysis of the battle situation. It is only natural to see how dangerous it is to leave Beitki City now.
With a million soldiers, as long as the Anatoly prince can attack Zhao Yun's troops on the northwest front with him, he still has a good chance of winning. However, the other generals were too stupid to let the Celestial Empire army kill in front of the national capital, so his most effective two-sided attack strategy before obviously didn't work, and he didn't even have a chance to use it. And he himself had to leave the city and go to the national capital to rescue.
Originally, Victor didn't want to do this, but he gave orders one after another, and in just a few days, he received more than a dozen orders urging him to rescue, so he really had to leave the city against his will.
Standing on top of the tall city of Beitki, Victor had mixed feelings, and he had a feeling that once he left now, he would not have a chance to return here in the future.
In desperation, Victor finally obeyed the order of the Grand Prince Anatoly and left the city of Beitki with an army of one million and headed for the city of Sanlilbey. But what he didn't know was that on this road, there were already several Celestial Empire cavalry waiting for them.
Zhao Yun is one of the few generals with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, how can he not guard against the Victor army behind him?
The army of millions is behind him, and it is impossible for anyone to ignore it. The same is true for Zhao Yun, and he has also prepared enough meals for the Victor Legion.
Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, and Buqi had a total of five cavalry armies, totaling nearly 500,000 people, which was what Zhao Yun prepared for Victor. Although the strength of the opponent is only half of the opponent's, in the face of the moving infantry army, its fast cavalry advantage is obviously very obvious.
After throwing the five cavalry army on the road from Beitki to Sanlierbey City, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's corps commander brought the Zhoucang Infantry Road Army, and the three armies totaled more than 30 people towards the Great Rus City.
Zhao Yun knew very well that as long as the Anatolian prince in the city of Great Rus' was pressed, he would force Victor's army to speed up its advance, and Dian Wei and other cavalry troops would have a chance to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
Under the city of Great Rus, facing the two route armies of the Northeast and Northwest, with a total of more than one million Celestial Empire troops, Anatoly panicked in his heart.
There were only 300,000 defenders in the city, although he also urgently ordered to transfer troops from the rear, but after all, far water could not quench his thirst, and in the face of several times his own troops, he really did not have much confidence to hold the city.
