Chapter 911 Counterattack on the Northern Front

Originally, these people had already prepared for reinforcements and a big battle nearby, but because of the sudden appearance of the Xiongnu and other tribes, Zhang Chao had to hide them first, because he was worried that as soon as these legions appeared, they would scare away these targets and enemies that he couldn't find.

But now, now that the 234th Army has launched an attack and encirclement, it is obviously difficult for these people to escape, Zhang Chao has nothing to worry about, and can finally let go of his hands and feet and deal with the Rus coalition army single-handedly.

In addition to the two, three, and four legions, the Seventh Legion, the Vanguard Legion, and the Jiangdong Legion are moving rapidly towards Haibalan City, as long as they arrive, it will be a good opportunity to destroy the Rus Alliance.

As soon as the three legions came out, they also moved rapidly towards the city of Hipballan, and it was impossible to say that the news would not be exposed at all, although Anatoly regarded all this as Zhang Chao's strategy, thinking that it was the other party's bluff, but not everyone saw it that way. It's like the Ukrainian leading general Ichie, who, after receiving a report from his own scouts, called the Kazakh leading general Marvar to come to Anatoly's tent together.

As soon as the two entered the big tent, Anatoly understood what the other party meant, and immediately asked the other party to sit down first with a smile on his face.

"There's no need to sit down, King Ana, I have received news that the Celestial Empire is coming to Hai Paolan, and there are quite a few of them, you see if we take a step back, and we don't say how far we retreat, but just borrow the city to defend, so that we can respond to all changes." Ichie suggested taking a step back.

This suggestion is naturally quite correct, take a step back and retreat to the city behind you, so backed by a solid city, even if the Celestial Empire army really comes, it is not a momentary effort to capture the city, and by this time, the initiative is equivalent to falling into their hands.

I have to say that Yiqi's mind is still quite clear, but at this moment, Anatoly has long been carried away by the fruits of victory, and he also wants to win too much, he wants to win Zhang Chao too much, and he is ashamed of his blood, so naturally he will not agree with his proposal.

In addition, there is also a General Marhua who has long been bought and controlled by Zhang Chao, he knows how things will develop, but speaking from Zhang Chao's point of view, he naturally will not support Yiqi's decision.

"Can't it, don't you say it all, isn't the Celestial Empire just a bluff? Although they are strong, it is impossible not to leave troops in the country, and the Yamato country is at war again, and the Western Regions still need to send heavy troops to maintain stability, where is the large army to target us? Is General Ichie a little worried? Marhua voiced his doubts as if he didn't know anything.

What kind of language did Anatoly want to use to convince Ichi? Unexpectedly, Marhua was on his side this time, and immediately cast an appreciative look, and then said earnestly to Yiqi, "Don't worry, general, I have already sent a large number of scouts, this time the Celestial Empire is indeed bluffing, they don't have any large army to come to support, this is nothing more than to scare us, let us think that their reinforcements are coming, forcing us to retreat." But it is precisely because of this that it shows that they can't stand it anymore, so we can't retreat lightly at this moment. ”

"King Ana is saying this is an opportunity?" After listening to this, Izzy also asked a little suspiciously.

"Yes, it's an opportunity. As long as we attack with all our might, once we capture Haibaolan City, Zhang Chao's plan will fail, not only that, without the defense of the city, then they will be completely exposed in front of us, and we can chase and fight, so not only may destroy the emperor Zhang Chao of the Celestial Empire, but also encourage the power of the Xiongnu and their countries, increasing their chances of turning defeat into victory, if it can really be like that, it is the overall situation. Isn't it a great achievement that a huge Celestial Empire will be at our disposal at that time? Anatoly became more and more excited the more he spoke, as if he had now conquered the entire Celestial Empire.

drew a big pie, and it was very tempting, and at this moment, even Yiqi was moved. "So we're waiting and seeing?"

"Wait and see." Marvar nodded, agreeing.

With Marva's help, coupled with Anatoly's insistence, Yiqi's doubts quickly disappeared, but he really didn't know that after he listened to the two of them, he directly brought about the disaster of destruction and the destruction of the country, of course, these are all later words.

After Anatoly stabilized the two coalition armies, he intensified his attack on the city of Hypaoli. He knew that it was useless to say anything, only if he captured the city, it was best to take Zhang Chao's head, so that the overall situation would be determined.

In the next few days, the army of Rus' launched several large-scale siege battles, but they were undoubtedly stopped by the Eighth Army and the Fifth Army Corps defending the city.

I have to say that when it comes to the ability to defend the city, the five legions are indeed very strong, they have been guarding Tongguan from the beginning of their establishment, and they have created a miracle that is invincible when they are in the pass, and now they are guarding Haibaolan City, although it is a little difficult, but they can still hold it.

After three days of defending the city, reinforcements from behind him finally arrived in time.

Whether it is the Seventh Legion or the Vanguard Legion, they are all cavalry-based legions.

The original title of the Seven Legions was the Pingyi Legion, and the enemy of the ethnic minorities on the horses made their cavalry very brave.

Needless to say, the vanguard legion is led by Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general, which has always been a few enemies, and the combat ability of the cavalry is very strong.

As soon as these two legions arrived, they entered the city directly from the south gate, and exited from the north gate, which can be described as non-stop, and rushed straight to the camp of the Rus' army on the opposite side when they left the city gate.

Suddenly, the city gates opened, and then countless cavalry poured out, which completely shocked the Rus' army, which was still preparing to attack the city.

Originally, they were the attacking party, and for dozens of days, they were used to being the main attacker, fighting whenever they wanted, and resting whenever they wanted. But suddenly, the opponent who had been passively defending now went out of the city, and came with thousands of troops and horses, this change was really unexpected to them, so that many soldiers did not react to what was happening, and the cavalry of the vanguard of the Seventh Legion and the Vanguard Legion was killed in front of them.

The two armies fought, this is not the time to be polite, at the moment these cavalrymen wield their swords and guns, it is a painful kill. In this case, the Rus' army in front was killed before they could even organize a defensive formation.

Under the continuous shouting of killing, accompanied by the corpses of countless Rus soldiers, and seeing that the cavalry of the Celestial Empire was so brave, especially the number was so huge, the Rus army began to rout.

King Anatoly, who was in the middle of the Chinese army, soon learned about the front line, and when he heard the scouts report that hundreds of thousands of cavalry had been killed from the city of Khaibalan, and countless infantry were following the pace behind him, he knew that this time he was afraid that his own analysis was really wrong, this was not a bluff by the Celestial Empire, but that someone had really mobilized a large army to deal with him.

"How is this possible? Where did so many Celestial Empire troops come from, they all came to me, what should I do where in the Western Regions? Don't they just ask? Or has an agreement been reached with the Western Regions Alliance a long time ago, which is simply a trap to lead yourself into? At this moment, Anatoly was in an extremely bad mood, and all kinds of thoughts came out, and he couldn't suppress it.

"Your Majesty, the front is unbearable, let's retreat." Finally, the voice of the minister spoke, and Anatoly stopped thinking about it.

"Yes, retreat, retreat first." Anatoly came to his senses at this moment, and if the Celestial Empire was not bluffing, then now they had to retreat to avoid its edge. Didn't General Ichie say it before? Retreat to the city one after another, and then defend the city, presumably able to block the invasion of the Celestial Empire's iron hoof.

Anatoly gave the order to retreat, and at the moment the Chinese army retreated together with the rear army in the direction of the rear city of Adan. At the same time, he did not forget to send people to the ward's friendly Kazakh and Ukrainian million-strong armies to retreat in the direction of the city of Nexus.

And at the moment, the million-strong coalition of Kazakhstan and Ukraine is now in chaos.

The Celestial Empire's iron cavalry suddenly came out of the city, and it was still as indecisive as the water of the Yellow River, and it was out of control, and this situation really shocked them. From the moment he learned the news, General Yiqi thought about retreating, retreating to the city to seek self-protection first, and then make a war strategy.

But before Yiqi could convey the order, the deputy had already reported that their Kazakh allies had suddenly rushed towards them like crazy, and shouted to eliminate the disaster.

"What? What is it that General Marquish has led his troops to attack us, and that he has called for the elimination of the scourge? At this moment, Yiqi's mind was confused, and it was not so unexpected to say that reinforcements would suddenly arrive in the Celestial Empire, after all, he had already had such an idea, but now that Kazakhstan suddenly launched an attack on his army, it was really difficult for people to understand.

The deputy general who entered the door to report the situation had a look of embarrassment, as if he had something to say and couldn't say it.

"What the hell is going on, you say." Izzy looked impatient, and he knew there must be a reason.

Forced to ask by Yiqi like this, the deputy general hurriedly said: "General, General Malhua went around and said that we secretly communicated with the Celestial Empire army, and the reason why there is the current situation is caused by our tipping and reporting, and now he wants to kill us first, and also give the Celestial Empire a good look." ”
