Chapter 356: The Russian Empire Sends Troops
Now that the autumn harvest season has entered, Huaxia can be said to have persevered through the most difficult time period. Seeing that the fortifications of Huaxia were about to be completed, the major empires finally couldn't sit still and directly launched a blow that broke the cauldron and sunk the ship.
With the fleets of the Russian Empire and the North American Alliance, in the Xiaoyao Sea, after being annihilated by the joint annihilation of China and the Xiaoyao Empire. The Russian Empire began to launch a land war, and this time the Russian Empire really came up with the essence of a super-empire.
The Russian Empire used the city of Barkhan as a springboard, and the army of three million went directly south. At the same time, the Kazakh Empire and the Mongol Empire fully cooperated, the Kazakh Empire sent 2 million troops from the city of Aba Mountain to the south, and the Mongol Empire's 1 million troops went out of the city of Ulan and directly took the city of Or.
In addition, located on the border between the Russian Empire and the Mongol Empire, the cities of Ikdor and Clovis sent millions of troops at the same time, all the way out of the border to the west, to encircle the Orcheng currently occupied by China. Finally, there were the 1 million eastward troops of the Kazakh Empire, who crossed the border with the Mongol Empire and went directly to Orcheng.
At this time, Orcheng is facing three bread suppressions, with a total strength of nearly 10 million. At this time, the garrison of Orcheng was only about one million. In order to delay time, the Chinese officials issued a death order that they must defend Orcheng to buy time for the construction of the rear city defense.
Of course, this alone cannot be said to be a big move of the Russian Empire. And the real purpose of the Russian Empire in doing this was actually the agricultural production base built by Lao Jiu on the border between the north and the south. Now it is time when the grain is ripe, but the Russian Empire has paid attention to the grain production base of the Easy Empire.
In addition to clearing out the Chinese army in the Mongol Empire, the Russian Empire also sent five million troops south, backed by the city of Amur, to forcibly cross the north-south boundary river and capture the northeastern city of the Xiaoyao Empire in one go.
Lao Jiu, who received the news, went to the Northeast City as soon as possible. At the same time, the 500,000 troops of the Seven Immortals Islands and 100,000 elite cavalry were urgently repatriated. and dispatched 50,000 Qin crossbow troops, guarding the south bank of the Jiehe River, and making every effort to block the Russian army from moving south.
If the army of the Russian Empire crosses the north-south boundary river, then for the Empire, a year's hard work may be in vain, and if it is not good, it may even make wedding clothes for others. In addition, Lao Jiu also mobilized a thousand warships from Qilin Port.
These warships entered the sea from the north and south boundary rivers, and went all the way upstream, patrolling along the way to prevent Russian troops from smuggling. This time, Lao Jiu finally mobilized the Empire of Freedom, and recruited level eighty players for a long time, and let them work in groups of ten to patrol with the ships to protect the safety of the fleet.
The countless scout teams of the Night Legion were also sent to the territory of the Russian Empire by Lao Jiu, making every effort to search for the movements of the Russian army and ensure the accuracy of the intelligence. Just when the siege of Orcheng had not yet begun, the Russian army's southward army, the vanguard troops, had reached the banks of the north and south boundary rivers!
The vanguard of 500,000 troops, encamped on the spot, formed a confrontation with the army of the Empire. The two sides are separated by a distance of more than two kilometers, condensing their own momentum, and it seems that war may start at any time.
When Lao Jiu occupied Guanwai, the first thing he did was to build roads and bridges. In order to enjoy the development of the empire, he chose two narrow places on the north and south boundary rivers and built two magnificent stone bridges.
The ancient stone bridge design is full of the atmosphere of Chinese civilization. Hundreds of meters wide and thousands of meters long, but the construction took nearly three months. And this became an important channel connecting the two empires.
Now that the two armies are facing each other across the bridge, they seem to be waiting for the best opportunity to attack. The vanguard of the Russian Empire, after encampment, was quietly waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops. Due to the large number of troops, the battle line was particularly long.
However, Lao Jiu has always been uneasy and unreasonable, and the other party wants to wait for the follow-up troops and concentrate his forces to rush across the Northeast Boundary River Bridge in one fell swoop. But Lao Jiu deeply understands what it means to be a soldier and a nobleman.
So that night, when the Russian army had just set up camp, Lao Jiu took the undead cavalry and the 100,000 iron cavalry behind him. Towards the Russian army on the opposite side, a sudden charge was launched, and for a moment, the sound of horses' hooves shook the air.
Lao Jiuyi took the lead, a row of 100 people, and when tens of thousands of cavalry collapsed on the Northeast Boundary River Bridge, the powerful vibration force made Lao Jiu a little worried, afraid that the stone bridge would be shaken down. Fortunately, this kind of oolong incident did not happen, which made Lao Jiu secretly relieved.
The regular tremor of the earth is directly the best warning of the enemy. The Russian army's reaction was very fast, and when Lao Jiu rushed to the center of the boundary river, the other party was already ready to defend, as if the other party had long expected this kind of sneak attack.
On the periphery of the Russian garrison, there are a large number of temporary guardrails. These guardrails are mainly wooden, and countless stones are piled up behind them. From the design of the guardrail, it can be seen that the opponent is to prevent the cavalry from charging.
However, they underestimated the strength of the unicorn horse, and the single horn on the forehead of the unicorn horse is actually the best ramming horn, and it is also the hardest weapon on their body. The attack power generated by its impact is no less lethal than that of top-notch gold equipment.
And these temporary defenses established by the Russian army could not effectively intercept Lao Jiu's sprint at all, not to mention that the undead cavalry led by him almost reached level eighty. This can be said to be a real cavalry of terror.
If it is a seventy-level cavalry rushing into the camp, it may be dragged by the opponent with a numerical advantage. However, the vanguard troops led by Lao Jiu were all level eighty strength, and the 10,000 undead cavalry almost encountered much resistance, and directly penetrated the enemy's military camp.
Following the gap opened by the undead cavalry, the 100,000 Qilin Legion soldiers directly rushed into the enemy's camp. Led by the undead cavalry led by Lao Jiu, the army directly put out a long snake formation and began to intersperse with the enemy camp.
Lao Jiu's battle really played the horror of the cavalry, with the number of 100,000 cavalry, he simply killed 500,000 elites of the opponent, and there was no power to fight back. However, the other party's command can be regarded as courageous, directly exchanging the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers for a glimmer of life, organizing a cavalry of 50,000 people, and breaking through the encirclement and blockade of the Qilin Legion first.
Lao Jiubu's long snake formation, after being cut off by the waist, left a glimmer of life for the army of the Russian Empire, and the remaining army, under the response of the opponent's cavalry, began to kill in large numbers.
Lao Jiu immediately changed his formation and began to cross sprint, trying not to let the opponent form a battle formation. And take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry to seize the opportunity everywhere. He personally led the undead cavalry and rushed towards the cavalry organized by the other party.
For this kind of cavalry hedging, it is a real narrow road encounter where the brave wins! However, under the huge gap in strength, soon the other party staged a play, what is a person turning on his back! Under the absolute level suppression, not to mention people, even the opponent's war horse does not have much courage to sprint.
So the result can be imagined, when the opponent's 50,000 cavalry, after encountering Lao Jiu's undead cavalry, they were directly killed and turned over on their backs. And Lao Jiu stared at the opponent's coach, and didn't give the other party a chance to react at all, so he rushed straight up.
And the strength of the opposing coach is only eighty-five, and when facing Lao Jiu, it can be said that he has no power to fight back, although there are people around him who are desperately trying to save him, it is just a little bit of time to delay Lao Jiu.
When Lao Jiu was attacking with all his might, more than a dozen eighty-level masters could not play any role for him at all. With Lao Jiu's current strength, it is simply easy to capture these eighty-level masters.
Especially the NPC warriors, they all have their own thoughts, and under normal circumstances, they will not choose to commit suicide, which gives Lao Jiu a great opportunity. After just more than ten rounds, the commander of the Russian army was captured by Lao Jiusheng.
In this way, the blow to the entire Russian army is not a half-star. Especially under the charge of the undead legion, the cavalry of the 50,000 Russian army also began to suffer casualties, which made the morale of the other party fall directly to the bottom.
Seeing that the enemy's rout was imminent, Lao Jiu immediately mobilized the rear army to attack and began to cross the north-south boundary river to launch a comprehensive blockade of the enemy. The Russian Empire, which received the news, began to send cavalry support, and rushed to the front battlefield at the full speed of the cavalry, that is, a matter of several hours.
And the reason why the other party is still insisting is that they are waiting for reinforcements to arrive. When the follow-up troops of the Xiaoyao Empire crossed the north-south boundary river, Lao Jiu decisively chose to go north and took 50,000 cavalry with him.
Because he had already received news that the 100,000 cavalry sent by the Russian army was less than ten miles away from the battlefield. And Lao Jiu, with the undead cavalry and 50,000 Qilin Legion soldiers, still greeted the other party's reinforcements, and the battlefield behind was left to the infantry of the Easy Empire.
On the battlefield, everything is about the first opportunity, as long as you take the lead, you will take the lead step by step, which is the so-called time of the day. Lao Jiu had just left the rear battlefield, and he encountered the opponent's cavalry troops, and the two sides directly started an encounter.
This kind of Gobi terrain is too suitable for cavalry charges on both sides. Such a huge cavalry charge truly shows the cruelty of war. In the face of the elite cavalry of the Russian army, the only advantage that Lao Jiu occupies is the level suppression of the undead cavalry.
And the 50,000 Qilin Legion can only rely on the strength of the Qilin Horse. Since the equipment level of both sides is the same, this makes Lao Jiu's battle a bit difficult. After all, the other side has an absolute numerical advantage.
In order to end the battle quickly, Lao Jiu had to take out a hole card again, that is, the one-armed crossbow equipped by the cavalry. This small Qin crossbow is different from the pedal crossbow, its advantage is that it is small and accurate, but the range is very limited, and the lethality is only about 50 meters.
The one-armed crossbow is like a pistol in the era of cold soldiers, it has a trigger and a lookout, and after putting the crossbow machine into the space ring, it can play a decisive role at a critical time. And as soon as the unicorn legion's one-armed crossbow came out, it really played a role in turning the tide of the battle.
