Chapter 484: The Great War Resumes
Under the pursuit of the army of the Xiaoyao Empire, the army of the Russian Empire withdrew for hundreds of miles, and finally stabilized the pace of rout and escape under the response of the army in the lower reaches of the river on the north and south borders. And the army of the Empire had to give up temporarily due to the long-distance pursuit.
The Ma army seemed to have calculated everything, and while the army in front pursued the enemy, the soldiers in the rear had already begun to set up camp on the north bank of the north and south boundary rivers. When the army abandoned the pursuit, it began to sweep the battlefield and retreat, and then camped on the north bank.
In the barracks on the north bank of the Northeast Bridge, in the big tent of the Chinese army at this time, Ma Jun was frowning and looking at the sand table in front of him. However, there were no generals around him, all of them were heralds, who seemed to be waiting for all kinds of news and orders to be delivered.
"Report the current location of the Wolf Warrior Legion!" At this time, Ma Jun didn't raise his head, looked at the military sand table in front of him and asked.
"The Wolf Warrior Legion has just left the Lapst Mountains, and it is expected that it will be able to reach the West Kulun steppe at dawn." The messenger of the Wolf Legion replied immediately.
"What is happening in Amur City at the moment!" Ma Jun asked without raising his head.
"The Russian Empire has gathered an army of 300,000 this morning, and its troops are marching west in three directions, as if they want to encircle the Wolf Warrior Legion. According to the speed of the march, the two sides will meet early the day after tomorrow! The messenger reported truthfully.
"How's the situation going with the Emperor?" Ma Jun suddenly raised his head and asked the guards beside him.
"The Emperor has agreed to the marshal's request, and personally sent someone to the West Kulun steppe, and he can arrive at the designated place tonight." The horse guards replied.
"Inform General Wang to act according to the plan, and be sure to arrive at the designated place before tomorrow night!" Ma Jun looked at the messenger of the Wolf Warrior Legion and said.
"It's the marshal!" Upon receiving the order, the messenger immediately began to inform the Wolf Legion. Nowadays, the messengers in the big tent are all players, because only in this way can the information be transmitted in the first time.
"How's the battlefield cleaned up now? Can the casualty statistics ever come out? Ma Jun asked with a frown.
"The battlefield has been cleaned, and we have destroyed more than 80,000 enemies in this battle, and more than 5,000 of our soldiers have been killed. But the undead cavalry didn't lose a single thing! Someone replied as soon as Ma Jun's words fell.
"Send back to the Empire the list of all the soldiers who died in battle, they are the heroes of the Empire!" Ma Jun said in a deep voice.
"It's the marshal!" The person just now immediately replied.
"What are the movements of the Russian army on the border between the north and the south?" Ma Jun continued to ask.
"At present, it is encamped in the lower reaches of the north and south boundary rivers, one hundred and ten miles away from us, and the large army stationed along the coast has a tendency to move closer to the west!" Someone below replied.
"Pass the order, except for the Wolf Warrior Legion, the rest of the armies will rest in place and wait for the next order!" Ma Jun said to everyone, "You all stand down first!" ”
"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison.
Due to the defeat of our Russian army, the attack on the north and south boundary rivers could only be stopped for the time being, which allowed both sides to spend the night peacefully. However, early the next morning, after breakfast, the Russian army began to pull out the village and march westward.
Obviously, the army of the Empire has crossed the border between the north and the south, and the Russian Empire is ready to gather its troops and launch a frontal assault on the Empire. And because the battle line of the Russian Empire at the beginning was relatively long, covering almost thousands of miles on the north bank of the north and south boundary rivers.
Therefore, if you want to gather a large army now, it will also take time, and this time will also give the opportunity for the layout of the Easy Empire! However, in order to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops, Chekov made a wrong decision, that is, to wait still for a day.
It was his wrong decision that led to the turn of the tide of the next battle! And the thing that Ma Jun asked Lao Jiu to do was to use the space of He's Bi to transport a war horse for the Wolf Warrior Legion. In order to paralyze the Russian Empire, the Wolf Warrior Legion built a large camp complex in the West Kurlen steppe.
However, that night, after the Wolf Warrior Legion got the war horse, it went east overnight, avoiding the eyes of the Russian Empire, relying on the speed of the unicorn horse, and used the time of one day and one night to reach the southeast of Amur City, hiding in a hilly area.
And the camp in the West Kulun Grassland can be said to be a real empty camp, just to cover the eastward advance of the Wolf Warrior Legion. When the Wolf Warrior Legion arrived at the designated place, they immediately started to rest in place, and they also brought cooked food with them to ensure that their physical strength was replenished.
After a day of army compression, the remaining nearly 900,000 troops were almost all gathered together, and they were camped along the north and south boundary rivers for nearly 100 kilometers, which is also the reason for the wide terrain on the north and south sides of the river, otherwise the Russian army's battle line would be longer.
However, the Russian Empire's plan is very obvious, that is, it wants to rest for a good night, and then launch a general attack on the Empire. Although the idea of the Russian Empire was good, how could the Ma army not be arranged?
As soon as night fell, the Ma army sent out the Qilin Legion, which was already ready to go. And this army is the elite cavalry led by Wang Dazhi and Mi Xiaobao, although the number is only 10,000, but the combat effectiveness can definitely be one as ten.
And their task is actually very simple, that is, to bypass the main camp of the Russian army in the front, and then attack the barracks in the rear. These troops are all on the road for a day, of course, they want to have a good night's rest, and how can the horse army let them be stable?
So he sent elite cavalry to harass along the way, not to kill the enemy, but to keep the enemy awake at night. Due to the speed of the Kirin Legion and the fact that it does not have a head-on conflict with the enemy, the Russian army has no way to take the Kirin Legion for a while.
Although the Russian Empire also sent cavalry to surround and pursue, the effect was minimal, and if you were not careful, you would be killed by the Kirin Legion, causing serious losses. It tossed like this for most of the night, giving the Russian army a headache.
Seeing that it was about to dawn in two or three hours, the Ma army finally ordered the withdrawal of the Qilin Legion, and after nearly two hours of calm, the Russian army finally determined the withdrawal of the Qilin Legion, which also made the Russian army greatly relieved.
However, it seems that all this has just begun for the Escapees! After two hours of calm, seeing that dawn was coming soon, the Ma army finally gave the order to attack.
The first is that the Wolf Warrior Legion is moving south at full speed, directly attacking the middle of the Russian Imperial garrison, and then the troops are divided into two routes, all the way to the upper reaches of the North and South Boundary River, and all the way to the downstream. At the same time, in the camp on the north bank of the Empire, the Ma army personally led the army to kill the Russian camp.
The distance of a hundred miles, for a level eighty warrior, if you go at full speed, it will only take about an hour. Of course, not long after the army on the side of the Carefree Empire set off, the Russian Empire received the news, and then the entire military camp immediately began to make full preparations, waiting for the arrival of the Carefree army.
However, the sky had just broken and before the horse army could lead the army to kill in front of the Russian army, the cavalry units of the Wolf Warrior Legion had already rushed to the banks of the north and south boundary rivers. The charge of 200,000 cavalry is not comparable to 10,000 cavalry at all, and the sound of horses' hooves that shook the sky made the whole earth feel like an earthquake.
It was like a huge torrent that swept towards the military camps of the Russian Empire with lightning speed. By the time the sleeping Russian army was awakened by the violent roar of horses and irons, it was already too late.
At this time, the Russian military camp can be said to be in chaos, and before they have fully gathered, the ruthless iron cavalry has already stepped into their camp. In the face of the high-speed cavalry charge, countless Russian troops felt hopeless.
There was almost no obstacle, and when the Wolf Warrior Legion rushed into the Russian camp, it immediately divided into two ways and continued to attack along the upstream and downstream.
At the same time, under the city defense of the Xiaoyao Empire south of the Jiehe River, one secret door after another began to open, and then countless Xiaoyao Imperial warriors began to kill towards the other side of the river. For a level 80 warrior, if there is no blockade, it is still very easy to cross the north-south boundary river.
Due to the sudden appearance of the Wolf Warrior Legion, the Russian army was in chaos, so it didn't take into account the other side of the river at all. And by the time they found out that a large number of loose troops had crossed the river, it was already too late.
It can be said that this time, the Empire of Freedom directly caught the Russian Empire by surprise. The sneak attack of the Wolf Warrior Legion was fatal to the Russian Empire, they not only cut off the Russian Empire's army, divided them into east and west, but also broke the Russian Empire's military heart.
"Attack!" At the same time, the army led by the Ma army also killed in front of the camp of the main army of the Russian Empire. There was no superfluous communication at all, and after arriving at the location, the Ma army directly gave the order to attack!
"Attack! Attack! Attack! "The warriors of the Empire can be said to be as imposing as a rainbow, and in the midst of the earth-shattering shouts, they directly launched a charge against the local main camp. However, the other side was obviously prepared, and just as the Escape Army was charging, the Russian army also launched a counterattack.
"Whew......" Countless arrows poured down, and today's Russian army has changed from the original active attack to the current passive defense. Faced with the rain of arrows, the Loose Army stared directly at the shield and began to attack.
"Shoot the arrows!" At the same time that the shield of the Xiaoyao Empire was advancing, the Qin crossbow army formation of the Xiaoyao Empire finally launched a counterattack, and with the order of the Ma army, the Qin crossbow army formation behind the shield soldiers also launched a ruthless counterattack.
......The sky, which was already white, suddenly darkened under the cover of countless arrows. Compared to the enemy's bow and arrow, the lethality of the Qin crossbow of the Xiaoyao Empire is almost twice that of the opponent, and in addition, even the range is far superior to that of the opponent.
"The shield soldiers will resist me, the Qin crossbow will suppress the opponent, the Qilin Legion will flank back to the rear of the enemy army, and the rest of the soldiers will be killed with me!" The Ma army did not sit in the Chinese army, but personally raised a knife to the battlefield.
At the same time, in the north and south boundary rivers, pitch-black figures rose into the sky, and they were like ghosts, quickly killing into the Russian army. These black figures, all of them are undead cavalry, in order to be able to quickly defeat the enemy, the undead cavalry has all been dispatched!
