Chapter 424: The Plan Begins
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and seeing that the big war between the two sides was about to break out, Lao Jiu also began to gather all the soldiers of the Wolf Warrior Legion, and then took them quietly into the southwest border of China and sneaked towards the interior of the Indian Empire.
The border blockade line of the Asian Alliance is mainly aimed at the larger number of troops, and for casual players, those complex mountains and chasms are not insurmountable. Take Lao Jiu as an example, it is still very easy for him to infiltrate the Indian Empire alone.
Seeing that China is approaching the beginning of winter, but for the south of the Indian Empire, it is the season of grain harvest. Because the Indian Empire was almost unaffected by wars except for the northeastern border, the rest of the Indian Empire was hardly affected by war. In addition, due to the pressure of the Chinese side, a large number of domestic military forces were urgently transferred to the northeast border.
After Lao Jiu entered the territory of the Indian Empire, he began to go all the way south, and in just a few days, Lao Jiu found millions of Indian Imperial troops rushing to the border. From this point of view, the pressure on the Indian Empire from China is still relatively large.
And Lao Jiu's target this time is the coast of the South China Sea of the Indian Empire. Because there, there is a supply depot of the Western Empire. This is mainly based on the three port cities on the south coast of the Indian Empire, and almost 80% of the goods on both sides will transit there.
Therefore, Lao Jiu's primary goal is to attack these three cities. Since these three cities are coastal cities built by the Indian Empire itself, and they are far away from war all year round, the urban defense of these three cities is basically a decoration.
And these three major cities are not very far apart, only hundreds of kilometers apart. However, if Lao Jiu wants to sneak from the northeast of the Indian Empire to the southernmost tip of the Indian Empire, it will take dozens of days.
And all the troops in He's Bi can only last dozens of days with dry food, so time is still quite tight for Lao Jiu. The reason why it took so long was mainly to avoid attracting the attention of the Indian Empire.
Before Lao Jiu entered the Indian Empire, the Chinese side provided him with an internal map of the Indian Empire. Another important reason why it takes a lot of time on the Old Nine Road is the accuracy of the comparison maps along the way.
It's not that he doesn't trust Huaxia, but that he can better grasp the necessary information. As Lao Jiu continued to move south, he found that almost all the people of the Indian Empire lived in a tribal form.
It can be said that almost every large gathering place is a super tribe. And almost the entire southern part of the Indian Empire has been transformed into fertile land and planted with all kinds of grain. And these grains are the foundation for the development and growth of the Indian Empire.
During the few days of Lao Jiu's southward journey, the friction on the border between the two sides continued to escalate, and finally the war between the two empires was ignited again. As the number of troops invested by both sides gradually increased, the fighting also spread rapidly along the border.
In just a few days, the number of troops invested by both sides is directly close to 10 million. And in these few days, Lao Jiu finally arrived at his first destination. That was the first city on the coast of the South China Sea of the Indian Empire, the city of Mabel.
The city is located on the southeast coast of the Indian Empire, Lao Jiu found a remote bay fifty miles outside the city of Mabel, and then ambushed 100,000 wolf cavalry. His second stop was New Mario City, located on the south coast of the Indian Empire.
After also ambushing 100,000 wolf warrior cavalry on the periphery, Lao Jiu took the undead cavalry and rushed to the third city alone, Crowley City on the southwest coast of the Indian Empire! And the attack time set by Lao Jiu is midnight on the third day!
As the most developed port city of the Indian Empire, the gates of these three cities are almost never closed, which may be the criticism brought about by the long-term peace. On the third day, Lao Jiu's plan finally began to be officially implemented.
The task he gave to the Wolf Warrior Legion was simple: to plunder all the materials that could be plundered in the city, and then destroy the teleportation array in the city, kill all the people who threatened, and expel all the citizens of the city, fleeing to the north.
For a developed city like Crowley, it's almost a city that never sleeps. Although the city has a population of millions, the real city defense force is very limited. In Lao Jiu's opinion, with 10,000 undead soldiers following, it was enough to take the city.
The distance of several kilometers is almost a matter of minutes for the Kirin horse to sprint at full strength. When the sound of trembling horses' hooves came from the earth, the people of the Indian Empire in the city were still at a loss for what to do.
However, when the ruthless iron cavalry rushed into the avenue in the city, countless people died tragically under the horse's hooves, and these hindsightful Indian Empire people reacted, but it was almost too late. Lao Jiu's first goal was to occupy the teleportation array in Crowley City.
The task of the Undead is to clean up everyone on the streets, and then loot all the shops and burn down the houses in the city. In the face of the wolf-like undead soldiers, the Indian Empire could not organize an effective resistance at all.
Thus, a grand feast of plunder for the Empire began. The bloody methods of the army of the undead caused the people of Crowley to embark on a frenzied escape. Lao Jiu divided five thousand cavalry and went straight to the port of Crowley.
All the ships that could be seen on the docks were burned down by a fire, and all the docks were destroyed. Lao Jiu's first task is to burn them all and loot them all, and then expel all the survivors to the north.
In just one day, under the surprise attack of Lao Jiu, the Indian Empire lost three developed cities, and millions of people began to flee north. And Lao Jiu asked all the people to rest on the spot for a day, and while replenishing supplies, he also sent countless materials to the Xiaoyao Empire through the teleportation array.
The next night, after destroying the teleportation array, Lao Jiu began to issue new orders. The three-way army marched along the left, center, and right respectively, towards the north. All the fields along the way were burned, and all the villages and towns were also destroyed.
And all the way to the north, thousands of miles northeast of Crowley City, there is only one main city of the system. And for all the people who fled along the road, their only way to go was the main city of the system, Nagrol City.
As the main city that comes with the system, there is a complete city defense system, and maybe that's the hope of everyone. From the coast of the South China Sea of the Indian Empire to the city of Nagroor, it is nearly a distance of more than 1,000 miles, and in this area of more than 1,000 miles, tens of millions of people live in the Indian Empire.
Along the way, Lao Jiu burned the land and destroyed the village, and the speed of the march was not fast. And when their three armies converged, the entire city of Nagrol was almost overcrowded, and some civilians who could not enter the city of Nagrol could only continue to flee north.
And on the night of the convergence of the three armies, Lao Jiu personally led the undead to attack the city. For the main city that comes with the system, although it has a sound city defense, the Indian Empire does not have enough troops to defend it.
With his strong perception, Lao Jiu easily found the weak point of the city defense, the hundred-meter-high city wall, for the undead cavalry above level eighty, it almost did not play a corresponding role, not to mention that this army was still led by Lao Jiu himself.
In the face of 200,000 troops, the hundreds of thousands of defenders of the Indian Empire are a little insufficient, especially these defenders, almost all of whom are put together temporarily, and many of them even have no armor, only a simple weapon.
After Lao Jiu killed the city wall, as more and more undead cavalry climbed the city wall, the city gate of Nagrol was soon breached. The moment the city gates opened, countless cavalry began to swarm.
Under Lao Jiu's arrangement, the entire city of Nagrol was besieged. On the periphery of each city gate, there are 10,000 wolf cavalry waiting for them, and anyone who rushes out of the city gate will be killed on the spot. And the Wolf Warrior Legion that entered the city also had only one task, and that was to slaughter the city!
For two days and two nights, the relentless slaughter was carried out in the city of Nagrol. It only took Lao Jiu two days to turn this system main city of the Indian Empire into a purgatory on earth.
It wasn't until the third day that Lao Jiu had all the troops replenished and began to evacuate the city of Nagrore, and then rest outside the city. And the whole of Nagrol was also shrouded in a sea of fire, and nearly 10 million people in the city also became the fuel for this fire.
Until this time, Lao Jiu's crazy plan had just begun. After a day's rest, the army began to move towards the next target, which was the city of Saiye, five hundred miles northeast of the city of Nagrol.
With the speed of the unicorn horse, the distance of five hundred miles is just half a day. However, the burning, killing and looting along the way still delayed Lao Jiu for half a day. By the time the army arrived at Saiye City, the other side was already in full battle.
It's a pity that Saiye City is not the main city of the system, but a city built by the Indian Empire itself, and the defense system is not vulnerable at all. Under the siege of the Wolf Warrior Legion, in just one hour, Saiye City was breached, but the fate that awaited them was almost the same as that of Nagrol City.
Due to the small size of Saiye City, the population was almost half that of Nagrol City, so it only took Lao Jiu more than one night to destroy Saiye City. And go straight to the northwest, straight to the city of Wiener, three hundred kilometers away.
With the same means and the same efficiency, after Lao Jiu pulled out Wiener City overnight, he rested for a day, continued to the west, and then chose Puxi Luona City, which is more than 400 kilometers away. And this is the main city of a system, the population is already large, and the refugees it is now taking in have also made the city overcrowded.
Lao Jiu did not have the slightest mercy, and began a frantic attack while the army of the Indian Empire had not yet returned. It seems that knowing the final outcome, Puxi Luona City actually held out for a day, but in the end it was forcibly broken by Lao Jiu with the undead cavalry.
