Chapter 529: Fiction and Reality

"What? Are you scared? Want to back off? After this battle, the enemy suffered more than 500,000 casualties, and our casualties were only 50,000. And if the enemy is not afraid, are you afraid? ”

Ma Jun looked at the soldiers around him, raised his eyebrows, stood at the front of the city wall, and said very domineeringly.

"If we retreat today, will we retreat in the future when the enemy kills our hometown and in front of our relatives? Do we still have the courage to fight again? Remember, you are not only the pride of the Empire, but also the hope of the Empire! ”

"You are the Legion of the God of War, the most powerful legion of the Empire, do you want to abandon your honor, you want to abandon your brothers who died in battle? The Great Emperor is still in front of us in a bloody battle, but we are timid and afraid, are you still the army of the god of war? ”

"Tell me, are you scared?"

"Not afraid ......"

"Are you holding back?"

"Never back down......"

"Are you cowards?"

"Not ......"

"Then, take up your weapons and fight me!"

"Fight! War! War! ”

Driven by the Ma Army, the originally low morale was quickly stimulated to the top. All the soldiers were seriously filled with fortitude, they regained their confidence, gathered momentum, and waited for the beginning of the next battle.

The shout of the God of War Legion shook the entire Qinling City, and it seemed that it was also shocking the enemy army, so that the enemy army, who had long been ready to attack, did not launch a charge at the first time, at this moment, they seemed to be hesitating!

......Under the confrontation of momentum between the two sides, the Australian Alliance seemed to be afraid of the Empire, and after holding on for dozens of minutes, it chose to withdraw the troops, which made the soldiers of the Empire on the city wall cheer and shout, while the Ma Army frowned deeply.

It stands to reason that the current Australian alliance has an absolute advantage, and if it is in one go, it is likely to take Qinling City in one fell swoop. Could it be that the change that the emperor said has happened? Thinking of this, Ma Jun couldn't help but look at Lao Jiu.

"The Qilin Legion army is approaching the enemy camp, the current Australian Alliance should not attack Qinling City, after arranging the guards, let the rest of the soldiers hurry up and rest!" Lao Jiu explained to Ma Jun and confirmed Ma Jun's guess.

Outside the city, the Australian Alliance retreated, and the Empire immediately sent troops to clean up the battlefield, repair the walls and gates, and continue to prepare for the next siege.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army of the Australian Alliance, a group of high-level members of the alliance had ugly faces.

"The news has just come that a large number of cavalry has appeared on our periphery, and according to our scout report, the enemy's cavalry number exceeds one million, almost surrounding our three-way army, occupying a radius of hundreds of miles on the Qinling Plain."

As the supreme commander of the Australian Alliance, Carolina's face was very ugly at this time, the Alliance had lost nearly 500,000 troops, and it seemed that one or two more charges would be able to truly capture Qinling City, but such news came from the rear of the army.

"Isn't it said that the number of cavalry in the Easy Empire is not large, only hundreds of thousands remain? Moreover, the main cavalry of the Xiaoyao Empire is on the periphery of the Qinling Plain, and is it pinned down by our baggage troops? Can anyone tell me where these million cavalrymen came from? ”

"General Carolina, the current million-strong army is just suspicious, this may be the Loose Empire's suspicious formation, we don't need to withdraw our troops, we only need to defend the rear strictly, and if we don't give the cavalry a chance to break through, it is still possible to capture Qinling City."

The staff officer of the Australian Alliance, Hulse thought for a while and said, "According to what we know about the Empire, the Empire does not have a million cavalry at all, and it is impossible to have a million cavalry, so the news from the rear must be wrong." ”

"Rupert, you are the intelligence officer, and I need you to give me an accurate answer to this matter, because it is related to the success or failure of our battle!" Carolina raised her eyebrows, then looked at Rupert beside her and said.

"As night fell, the periphery of our garrison was covered with dust for a hundred miles, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the plain, and the shouts of cavalry were everywhere. Rupert said with a frown.

"Although we cannot be sure of the true number of enemies, there are still two or three hundred thousand, so I am not in favor of taking risks. Once the Empire has any hidden secrets, or uses any hole cards, then our rear is likely to fall. ”

"And by that time, it was clear that it was too late. Although the Empire has been established for a short time, it is unknown to us whether they still have hole cards. This should be the reason for General Carolina's retreat, because we simply can't afford to gamble. ”

"Admiral Rupert is right, because we can't afford to gamble." Carolina said decisively, "In fact, after a day of non-stop siege, our soldiers also need to rest, which is also one of the reasons why I retreated. ”

"Let's retreat to the camp for the time being, and let the heavy shield soldiers defend it tightly, but I'll see if the cavalry of the Easy Empire will charge the camp. As long as we persist through tonight, then tomorrow we will know the reality of the Empire. ”

"Report ...... The rear camp of our three-way army was raided by cavalry, and there is no head-to-head confrontation between the two sides at present, and the enemy cavalry is mainly harassing, and it seems to be testing us! ”

At this time, Carolina suddenly received a message from the rear, which made him frown.

"There should be two possibilities for the cavalry of the Easy Empire to choose to harass, one is that their troops are really insufficient, and the other is that they did it on purpose, in order to paralyze us and make us make the wrong choice."

Hulse frowned and said, "Our large battalion has a shield specifically for cavalry charges, and if we force our battalion, the enemy's cavalry will surely suffer heavy casualties, which may be the reason for their harassment and temptation." ”

"However, the enemy's cavalry may not be sufficient to pose any threat to our army, and they are only trying to force us to retreat. So I suggested that we camp outside the city, and once we wait until dawn, we can find out what the enemy is doing. ”

"Although our forces are scattered, we are still able to form a pattern of mutual watch, and even if the enemy cavalry does attack the camp, we can calmly deal with it. Once the number of enemy cavalry is determined, we will still have the initiative. ”

"And at that point, we can make the right choice based on the actual situation. Qinling City is in front of us, we can attack and retreat and defend! If the enemy's cavalry is just a small fight tonight, then I can basically be sure that the Xiaoyao Empire is just setting up a suspicious formation, just to buy time for Qinling City. ”

"Admiral Hulse's analysis is very reasonable, there is no need for us to withdraw the battalion at all, notify the front line of the three road army, and camp outside Qinling City. If the Empire is suspicious, then the siege will continue early tomorrow morning! Carolina quickly decided.

"Ma Jun, you defend Qinling City, since the enemy army has not withdrawn to the rear barracks, then it is possible to send a master to smuggle in at night, which cannot be guarded against." Lao Jiu looked at the enemy troops outside the city who did not retreat, and couldn't help frowning.

"You contact the person in charge of the Xiaoyao Gate and ask them to fully cooperate with you, and you must defend strictly tonight. The enemy did not withdraw to the rear camp, and it seems that I must go out myself, and this time I will take the undead cavalry with me. ”

"The Emperor wants to attack the camp?" Ma Jun was stunned for a moment and said.

"The soldier is treacherous! The enemy did not choose to retreat, which means that they are also suspicious of our cavalry, if we don't have a substantive action tonight, it is estimated that tomorrow's Qinling City will not be easy to defend. Lao Jiu said helplessly.

"I am willing to go on behalf of the Emperor!" Ma Jun said with his fists clenched.

"You are needed more here! Time is urgent, you just need to guard Qinling City. Lao Jiu waved his hand to stop the Ma army, and then floated towards the city.

After gathering all the undead cavalry, Lao Jiu took advantage of the cover of night and went directly to the outside of the city. Today's Qilin Legion is indeed in the old suspicious formation, causing the entire Qinling Plain to be a scene of cavalry.

For the barracks of the Three-Way Army, it was only a tentative attack, plus all kinds of harassment. Because once the two sides clash head-on, then the strength of the Qilin Legion will definitely be revealed. At present, they can only use the cover of night to achieve the purpose of deterring the enemy.

When it was midnight, Lao Jiu finally met with Wang Dazhi, and also understood the current defensive distribution of the enemy's rear, so he made a quick decision.

This time, he chose the rear of the Australian Alliance's Western Army, where the enemy's 500,000-strong army was stationed, and it was also the farthest enemy camp from the other military camps. Lao Jiu only left 5,000 cavalry on the periphery of the rest of the enemy camp to confuse the enemy's ears and eyes, and concentrated all his forces in the western road military camp.

Although the Qilin Legion led by Wang Dazhi was only 200,000, there were still more than 50,000 eighty-level cavalry among them, plus Lao Jiu and the undead cavalry, which could definitely inflict heavy losses on the enemy army on the western route.

Lao Jiu didn't believe that the kind of artifact that could suppress his domain was available in every enemy camp. As long as there is no artifact that can limit his domain, then the cavalry of the Easy Empire is already half victorious, and with the terror of the undead cavalry, it can definitely catch the enemy by surprise.

When Lao Jiu personally brought the undead cavalry to the enemy camp on the west road, when the other party thought that these cavalry were still here to make a small fight, Lao Jiu suddenly opened up the field, and then when the other party was stunned, he directly took the undead cavalry and began to charge the camp.

This is the so-called virtual reality, after the other party has become accustomed to the harassment of the Qilin Legion, the undead cavalry has changed its front wind and directly launched a frontal charge, coupled with Lao Jiu's domain suppression, the enemy's defense can't stop the undead cavalry at all.

"Kill!"

After the gap in the enemy camp was opened by the undead cavalry, the Qilin Legion in the rear was like a bloody wolf, and directly followed the gap opened by the undead cavalry and began to launch the most furious charge against the enemy camp, which made the enemy camp on the west road chaotic for a while.
