Chapter 1361, Battle of the Desert
Robert Smith, who was in the same battlefield, soon received a message from Charlie Crumbel.
The situation over there can be said to be much worse than he expected.
Of course, it doesn't seem like this is the time for him to care about others.
In exchange for his title, he obtained enough food from the great merchants, and finally let his empire survive this difficult trip.
At the same time, the enemy army that pressed on the eastern border of his empire could not be ignored.
Now the forces have been gathered.
However, there were many cavalry on the opposite side, and his imperial army, as soon as it broke away from the fortifications, would be attacked mercilessly by the enemy cavalry.
For this reason, Robert Smith naturally sent his own imperial dragoons and hussars to meet it.
But the result ended in a fiasco, and then, the other party relied on the power of the wind to and fro, which made him fall into a helpless state.
As a result, his army was completely trapped in an eastern fortress, unable to get out.
But during this period, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of attacking, which couldn't help but make Robert Smith fall into thought.
"First, we attacked our rear with an army, forcing me and Raymond to withdraw our troops and return to defense, and then after we withdrew, we changed our tactics and switched to dilition......"
After a momentary groan, Robert Smith couldn't help but slurp.
"I see, the main target of the opposite side is Charlie, as for me and Raymond, that Celestial Empire player is just trying to contain us for the time being."
This feeling of being controlled by others was unpleasant, and Robert Smith was in a bad mood, but at the same time he had to accept the fact.
But anyway, for now, the other party has no intention of taking the initiative to attack, which is a good thing for him, anyway, in more than a month, reinforcements will be able to come in, just keep the status quo, and the stalemate will be just right at that time.
Of course, this is limited to Robert Smith's own ideas.
The current situation, for Charlie Crumber and Raymond Sosi, is not optimistic at all.
His own civilization in the west was breached and looted, and the border city was in shambles, and Raymond Sosi, who led the troops to kill back, naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and directly sent a large number of orcs to launch a search in the western desert.
During this period of time, he almost turned the entire desert upside down.
The army of the Western Realm of the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization is just hiding there, not evaporating from the world.
In the face of this kind of battle, in order to avoid the exposure of their resource supply points, John Sal and Du Yuanzhi finally decided to take the initiative to show up and start a guerrilla war after a period of discussion.
At the very least, divert the attention of the enemy orc army away from the vicinity of the resource supply point.
At first, of course, this went very smoothly.
The appearance of the Western Army quickly attracted the attention of the enemy orc troops, and the small orc force was not their opponent at all, and it was easy to deal with it, and the attention of the opposite side was quickly led in the opposite direction by them.
However, this state of affairs did not last long, and as the whereabouts of the Western Army were revealed, Raymond Sosi immediately began to gather a large army to attack him.
At the same time, the ironclad beast and the giant eagle, which are the giant beast-level units of the orc civilization, have appeared one after another.
Those five ironclad beasts and two giant eagles were simply not something that ordinary troops could deal with.
In this regard, Du Yuanzhi, who had already received the corresponding information, could be said to have changed his strategy at the first time and chose evasive tactics.
Because just like Robert Smith's analysis earlier, their fundamental purpose is to persuade them to retreat, and secondly, to contain them, and it is very unnecessary to fight hard, let alone fight hard with an army that has sent out a giant beast unit.
However, even if the evasion plan is confirmed, it is not easy for the southern army to avoid the aerial vision of the enemy Eagle Man troops.
Raymond Sosi even directly launched various outflanking and interception tactics, wanting to surround them in this desert.
Under the scorching sun, a battle began.
The eight-barreled Yanlong cannon continued to strafe the sky, and now among the western army, in addition to the anti-aircraft guns sent later, I am afraid that only the eight-barreled Yanlong cannon in the hands of the dwarven soldiers can suppress the air units.
During this period, the fire suppression of the eight-tube Yanlong cannon was lost, and the battle on the ground undoubtedly became a little difficult to fight.
The five-headed ironclad beast galloped all the way towards the rifle phalanx of the Westfrontier Legion.
Du Yuanzhi, who confirmed the battle situation, frequently made moves, arranged various formations, and maneuvered with the enemy orc army.
It is completely conceivable that the dense rifle phalanx, once it is hit head-on by the ironclad beast, will inevitably cause heavy casualties, and this is undoubtedly the situation that Du Yuanzhi wants to avoid.
The rifle phalanx that received the order retreated and fought, leading the enemy ironclad beast into the trap step by step.
In the next second, with the trampling of the giant hooves of the ironclad beast, a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded, while raising the dust in the sky, it was completely different from the previous one, this wave of mine traps was quite clear and constituted an obstacle to the running ironclad beasts, at least the momentum of their charge was obviously affected, and they were no longer like before, they could directly ignore the existence of mines.
Undoubtedly, this is the latest improvement of the Ordnance Research Department, high-explosive mines!
Compared with the previous batch of mines, the explosion power can be said to have been greatly improved, and then coupled with the special troops of the dwarf race, the careful arrangement of the dwarf blasters, once triggered, a whole area, can directly bring a chain of explosions.
In the face of such a mine trap, even ironclad beasts, which are known for their defensive power, cannot continue to ignore the existence of mines, after all, unlike the surface of their bodies covered in thick outer armor, their relatively soft bellies are not so powerful.
Taking advantage of the explosion of the mine trap, Du Yuanzhi hurriedly signaled to the infantry who maintained the rifle phalanx on his side, and after firing a salvo, they immediately broke into pieces and scattered in all directions.
The threat of the Ironclad is indeed enormous, but comparatively, it is very heavy and inflexible.
Use it against immobile defensive structures, and it's a well-deserved mega-killer.
But if you throw it into the field, its bulky weaknesses will soon be exposed, and it will be difficult to deal a lot of damage to scattered enemy soldiers.
And now, Du Yuanzhi undoubtedly saw this, and the entire group army had quickly dispersed into a team of twenty or thirty people at this moment, distancing themselves from each other and starting to disperse and fight.
Under this premise, even if the ironclad beast collided with one of the squads, they would lose at most twenty or thirty people, and there would be no huge loss of hundreds or thousands of people.
During this period, Guo Zhen, as the general of the Western Army, also led an elite army under his command to quickly circle the rear and launch a strong attack towards the rear of the orc army!
