Text Chapter 912 Zhao Yun intercepted the road
"Fart!" At this moment, General Yiqi, who had heard what was going on, finally couldn't help but expose a foul word.
Saying that he is secretly communicating with the Celestial Empire, how is this possible. Three days ago, he proposed to retreat first to avoid his edge? If he was really in league with the Celestial Empire, how could he say such a thing?
"Come on, come with me and explain to General Marvar." Ichi said with an angry look on his face.
Just before he came out of the tent, the deputy general who was still kneeling on the ground on the side said loudly: "General, now is not the time to be reasonable, I still want to retreat to Nexus City one after another, and only by withdrawing to the city can we have a place to settle down, so it's not too late to reason again." ”
"Yes, that's it." Izzy stopped when he heard this. Now that the Celestial Empire army is approaching, it is indeed not the time to reason, it is better to retreat first to preserve its own strength. As for what Marhua had falsely accused himself, he must have been able to explain it clearly. Even if the other party sneaks up on him today, he will naturally have a time to seek justice. "Someone, pass the order, and the army will retreat. As for the Kazakh army to embarrass us, you don't have to be polite, just kill it. ”
Although as a friendly army, everyone kills each other, and it will only be the Celestial Empire that will benefit, but at this moment, Yiqi has to give such an order, otherwise, I am afraid that he will not even have a chance to retreat and explain.
Ichi gave the order, and the Ukrainian army began to counterattack, and for a while, the two friendly armies that were originally friendly fought together. And in the battle plan that Marhua had prepared a long time ago, all the roads for Ichi's retreat were blocked, and even if he wanted to retreat, it was not a temporary success.
Taking advantage of this time, reinforcements from the Celestial Empire quickly arrived, including the Eighth Army Corps, which originally guarded Hai Paolan City, and the Jiangdong Army Corps, which was reinforcing the army.
The two legions, totaling about 800,000 men, combined with the Kazakh General Marvar, launched an all-out onslaught against the lone army of Ich.
On the northwest battlefield, it seems that the overall situation has been decided, with 500,000 people against 1.3 million people, and they were also beaten by surprise, presumably Yiqi's ending is doomed. To the northeast, Anatoly was rapidly retreating with his army towards the city of Adan in the rear.
The abandonment of the 100,000 siege army was considered to hinder the pursuit of the cavalry of the Celestial Empire, and then King Anatoly personally led the 1.5 million men of the middle army and the rear army to retreat rapidly.
After a period of siege and hard fighting, the Rus' lost 400,000 troops, and with the addition of the 100,000 people who had besieged the city before, Anatoly lost 500,000 troops this time.
It's just that although the losses are not small, the main force is still there, and with these troops, he still has a chance to rise. Anyway, this time it can be regarded as capturing a lot of cities, as long as you defend it well this time, the results must be not small. As I said, the Celestial Empire used a large army to attack itself this time, and the natural forces in the Western Regions were insufficient, presumably the Western Regions Alliance would take the opportunity to launch an attack next, in that way, the head and tail could not take care of each other, and see what the Celestial Empire could do to itself.
Thinking about it, Anatoly had a smile on his face, no matter what, although he had some losses this time, it was not a loss compared to what he gained. It's the Celestial Empire, this time using so many troops in the north, and then I'm afraid that there will be problems in the west, if that's the case, hehe, once something big happens to the Celestial Empire, he still has a chance to re-enter the realm of the Celestial Empire, and the east mountain is rising.
Anatoly is still dreaming about what will happen to the Celestial Empire after this incident, and how he will seize the opportunity. Caught off guard, the team suddenly stopped, causing him to almost fall off the carriage.
"What's going on?" As soon as the team stopped, Anatoly was a little angry, and now there were cavalry of the Celestial Empire chasing behind him? Although he sent troops to stop him, he couldn't delay too much time on the road, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, a large number of Celestial Empire troops suddenly appeared in front of us, and they blocked our way." A scout captain hurried back, knelt down in front of the dragon, bowed his head and said tremblingly.
"Celestial Empire army? Appearing in front of us? After hearing this, Anatoly first looked up to identify the route, and made sure that he was retreating towards Adan City, not towards Haybalan City, and then he asked puzzledly, "Are you kidding, this is our rear?" Where did the Celestial Empire army come from? ”
"Your Majesty, how dare the villain joke with you, it is true that a large number of Celestial Empire troops have appeared in front of them, and they are under the banner of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, and all over the mountains and fields are full of soldiers with weapons." The captain of the scout cried urgently.
"Dragon Tiger Legion?" As soon as he heard this title, Anatoly was also shocked. Before the war, he had received a battle report that there was a rebellion in Goryeo, and the Dragon and Tiger Legion was busy with those things. But now it seems that this should be fake news, in order to keep yourself from paying attention to the other party.
And if that's the case, it's really dangerous. He is very clear about the strength of the Dragon and Tiger Legion, especially the legion commander Zhao Yun, who is one of the best generals in the Celestial Empire, if he really blocks the road in front, I am afraid that this time it will be really dangerous.
Just worried in his heart, Anatoly thought that he had 1.5 million troops in hand, but he was not so afraid, but took the initiative to ask: "Where is the front?" ”
"If you return to your majesty, there is Dahu Mountain in front, where the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack." The scout captain continued to report.
"If it's not easy to attack, we have to attack, is it possible that our army is waiting here to die? Immediately notify it, attack with all your might, and at least fight your way out. Anatoly said exasperatedly. Now everything else is fake, and how to escape and ascend is the most important thing.
"Yes." When the scout captain saw that Anatoly was angry, he didn't dare to say more, so he immediately agreed, and then turned around to give the order.
And on the Great Tiger Mountain, the commander of Zhao Yun's army was wearing a silver armor, holding a bright silver spear and staring at the defeated army of Rus from far and near.
Zhao Yunhui appeared here with the Dragon and Tiger Legion, naturally it had been arranged a long time ago, including the fact that there were rebels in Goryeo was indeed false news, and it was originally used to confuse Anatoly, otherwise he had never appeared in the war so far, and it was inevitable that people would be suspicious.
To say that all this is also Zhang Chao's decision-making and planning. Very early, he arranged for Zhao Yun to enter the Great Tiger Mountain with 700,000 Dragon and Tiger Legions, and ambushed them with the help of the complex terrain here. In order to deal a heavy blow to Anatoly when he retreats in the future. Now it seems that everything is going according to plan.
"It's been hard work ahead, but fortunately, we finally survived, and now it's up to us. The order was given, and the armies were strictly guarded, and Anatoly saw that there was no way out, and they would have to fight hard, and the commander of the regiment would never allow them to escape from his face. Zhao Yun said in a loud voice, and said it to the generals behind him.
"Please rest assured, Commander, we will fight to the end and not let a single enemy go." After the generals agreed, they went down the mountain and returned to their own army, making various preparations.
The general walked a lot, leaving the military master Fa Zheng standing beside Zhao Yun, looking at the army of the Rus Kingdom in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh: "The emperor is really a god, with such a big spirit, the bloody battle in Hai Paolan City has been so far, and he has not let us send troops to support." ”
The next words, Fa Zheng didn't say deeply, but Zhao Yun did know that this time Zhang Chao had indeed made a lot of determination in order to be able to destroy the Rus Kingdom in one battle. Hybolan didn't let himself make a move in such a bloody battle, but because of this, now that he blocked Anatoly's back road, he absolutely couldn't let them escape like this, and he had to pay a heavy price, otherwise the previous efforts would be wasted.
Zhao Yun also knew that he didn't want the other party to escape, it was just wishful thinking, but the other party had 1.5 million soldiers, and he saw that he really only had 700,000 people, which was still the reason why he mobilized the main force, you know, in the place where Goryeo stayed, he only arranged 100,000 people to guard, which was already the minimum.
There are not as many soldiers as the other party, and they are desperate, and Zhao Yun is also a little worried about whether he can hold it.
It seemed that he saw Zhao Yun's embarrassment, and Fa Zheng on the side laughed and said: "The legion commander doesn't have to worry too much, if you can't stop it, let them pass, as long as we do our best." The person said that we still need to enter the territory of Rus to sweep in all directions, and we always need someone to lead the way, and the emperor must mean the same thing. ”
"Oh? Is the military advisor saying that the emperor has long been prepared that we can't stop Anatoly? Zhao Yun asked in some surprise after hearing this.
"Not bad. If the emperor wants to annihilate the main force of the Rus Kingdom here, then he shouldn't defend Hai Paulan and lead the other party deeper, wouldn't there be a greater chance of annihilation? But the emperor did not do this, and he explained a lot of things. Fa Zheng nodded, and replied with a very confident look.
Zhang Chao really didn't want to rely on a war to destroy the main force of the Rus Kingdom. Not for anything else, just because if you do this, it is equivalent to hurting the enemy by 1,000 and losing 800, and this kind of losing style of play is not the best choice.
Seeing that the situation in the Western Regions is tense, and the Western Regions Alliance is eyeing each other, if too many troops are invested here and the losses are too great, it will inevitably give the Western Regions a chance, which is the outcome he does not want to see. Even so, it is better to leave Anatoly a glimmer of hope to live, so that the other party will not fight hard, and when the fight starts, the loss of self will not be so heavy.
