Chapter 338: Night Attack on Orcheng City
After weighing the pros and cons, through understanding the terrain near Hulunbuir City, as well as various environments, the Ma army finally began to deploy troops! And this time, Lao Jiu also had to leave Canglong Island, cooperate with the Ma army, and mobilize the army with all his might.
In the third year of Song Xuanhe, that is, in 1122, the population of China was more than 93 million. From the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in 1274, the population of China was only more than 8 million. The mortality rate reached a staggering 91 per cent.
This is the genocidal massacre carried out by the Mongols in China back then! It still holds the world record. And this became an excuse for Lao Jiu to destroy the Mongol Empire, and after returning to Xiaoyao Island, he began to transport troops according to the deployment of the horse army.
After vacating He's Bi, with the space of He's Bi, it can completely carry 200,000 troops! And the time it takes to enter and exit each time adds up to two full days. And at Lao Jiu's speed, it will not take a day to send the army anywhere.
And Lao Jiu's first task was to transport 300,000 troops to Mount Lapste. Mount Lapust, which belongs to the border between the Mongol Empire and the Russian Empire. The surrounding area is basically hills, and over the hilly area, there is the steppe of the Mongol Empire.
At the foot of Mount Lapste, there is a river that runs directly through the two empires, which is considered the main freshwater resource of the south of the two countries. Freshwater references to the south of the two empires, the river occupies almost half.
And the Russian Empire wants to support the Mongol Empire, and along this river is the fastest and smoothest route. The Ma army asked Lao Jiu to place 300,000 troops here in order to sneak attack the reinforcements of the Russian Empire.
You know, the front of a million-strong army can sometimes grow to hundreds of kilometers. And in this hilly area, the 300,000 troops ambushed by the Ma army, as long as they are used well, can completely defeat the million army of the Russian Empire.
In addition to this, the steppes of the Mongol Empire, after losing its geographical advantage. The Easy Army can only fight guerrilla warfare. Therefore, the Ma army was divided into seven routes, with Hulunbuir City as the center, and 100,000 troops on the left and right.
And this time to attack the Mongol Empire, the Xiaoyao Empire dispatched almost half of the main army. The 300,000 troops that attacked the Russian Empire were the three major legions of bloodthirsty, murderous, and demonic. And with Hulunbuir City as the center.
To the southwest, there are the three major armies of the Northwest, Qinglong, and Gluttony. To the southeast are the three major armies of the Northeast, Xuanwu and Jinwu. The total number of free troops who entered the territory of the Mongol Empire this time has reached 1.1 million.
At this time, the number of the army of the Xiaoyao Empire who was clearing the enemy army outside the pass also reached one million. And the temporary military base built here has also mobilized nearly a million new soldiers. It can be seen that the Easy Empire really intends to do a big job this time.
Seeing that the battle of the Mongol Empire was about to start completely, and the one-month time agreed between Lao Jiu and Huaxia also came as scheduled. After Lao Jiu recovered all the personnel, he also got a lot of colored copper ore.
Compared with the colored copper veins under the extinct volcano, the purity under the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is obviously much higher. The first batch of high-purity colored copper ore that was refined was all used to make space equipment.
For today's war, super space equipment has become an indispensable strategic equipment for an army. Its existence, sometimes even the ability to dominate a super-war, is the decisive factor in the victory of the war.
A super space equipment can even carry an army of 100,000 and three days of food and grass. And coupled with the space equipment worn by these soldiers themselves, they can almost allow a large army to bring their own food and grass for nearly ten days, which sometimes plays a key role in war.
After Lao Jiu withdrew the undead cavalry, he immediately infiltrated the belly of the Mongol Empire. Now the Mongol Empire has organized an army of three million people to make it all the way south to regain the lost land. But how could Lao Jiu make them satisfied?
To the north of the city of Hulunbuir, more than a hundred kilometers, there is the Amur River, which spans the south of the Mongol Empire and flows through the southern part of the Russian Empire. And the city of Amur in the Russian Empire was named precisely because of its proximity to this river.
In the northwest of Hulunbuir City, in the upper reaches of the Amur River, there is a city called Zhanabazar City. And to the northeast, downstream of the city of Amur, to the north, there is another city, the city of Barth!
These two cities are the main cities of the Mongol Empire, and the million reinforcements sent by the Russian Empire originally planned to join forces with the Mongol Empire's army in Bat. However, due to the geographical environment within the territory of the Russian Empire, the speed of the Russian Empire's march was greatly affected.
In just half a month, the three million troops of the Mongol Empire have arrived at the designated place. This time, they were divided into three routes, one outside the city of Zhanabazar and the other outside the city of Barth.
And the Chinese army, as the main force, has already passed the city of Or, and is about to approach the Amur River. Orcheng is located in the north of Hulunbuir City, 3,000 miles away from Hulunbuir City. And Orcheng is two thousand miles north of the Mongolian Empire, the imperial capital of the Mongolian Empire, Ulan City!
And Lao Jiu's purpose this time is Orcheng behind the main force of the Mongol Empire. This is an important supply depot for the Mongol army, and as long as the city is destroyed, it will be an extremely serious blow to the army of the Mongol Empire.
In addition to bringing the undead legion this time, Lao Jiu also brought 100,000 Vermilion Bird Regiment soldiers and brought Wang Dazhi over. With the horse army in charge of the Chinese army, Wang Dazhi was directly taken away by Lao Jiu, and Lao Jiu's purpose this time was to sneak attack Orcheng.
That night, after Lao Jiu sneaked into Orcheng, he found that the popularity of the city was still relatively strong. Perhaps it had something to do with the management of the Mongol Empire, which generally opted for population centralism. With the exception of large cities, the people of the Mongol Empire were largely nomadic and wandered the steppes.
At this time, the central square of Orcheng was like a bustling scene, which made Lao Jiu a little unbearable. But as the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers! Since the war was waged, he could only put away his benevolent heart.
Just when these people of the Mongol Empire were still immersed in a prosperous and peaceful scene, a huge light gate suddenly appeared on the avenue of the central square, and the appearance of this light gate immediately aroused the curiosity of countless people.
But this curiosity soon turned into horror. It was really this night that the He's Bi that Lao Jiu said was completely exposed to the eyes of the world. At the same time, it also established the status of He's Bi in the game, the first auxiliary artifact.
Because with the opening of the light gate, the undead cavalry that had been prepared inside began to sprint out neatly, and along the way, almost all the Mongol Empire people were trampled into pulp, and for a while, the entire Orcheng City was immediately in chaos.
The first target of the undead cavalry was the teleportation array in the center of the square. As long as the teleportation array is captured, then Lao Jiu and they will be equivalent to grasping the initiative. Ten thousand undead cavalry rushed out with a roar, and soon filled the entire city center.
Then the Suzaku Legion's brigade came out, centered on the urban teleportation array, and began to expand outward. The sudden scene directly stunned everyone in Orcheng, and almost no one knew what was going on.
Because near the Light Gate, all the people who saw it had died, and when most of them were still unknown, the undead legion was divided into two ways. One way quickly captured the teleportation array, and the other way was lightning, destroying the entire City Lord's Mansion.
A system main city, if attacked from the outside, may be difficult to break, but from the inside to the outside, there is almost no resistance. 10,000 undead cavalry is almost pitiful for a large city with a population of 10 million.
But let these 10,000 undead cavalry concentrate on sabotage, especially since almost one-third of these people have reached level eighty, then the destructive power of these people is quite terrifying. Wherever they passed, there were either fires or buildings collapsing.
In fact, the number of people who really died at their hands was not much. Many people were either burned to death by fire or crushed by the collapse of buildings. Some even died at the hands of their own people because of panic.
With more and more soldiers of the Suzaku Legion, after the Heshi Bi, the entire Or'er City began to collapse in a large area. Countless flames rushed into the sky, and cries of despair everywhere filled almost the entire city.
Although Orcheng has a population of nearly 10 million, it is basically a number of civilians below level 50. When they faced the real army, they were as weak as ordinary people, and they couldn't cause too many casualties to the regular army.
Under the command of Wang Dazhi, 100,000 people immediately divided into five teams, one team for every 20,000 people, and began to seize control of the city gate, and the remaining 20,000 people, with the undead cavalry, cleared the fighting forces in the city, and at the same time launched a ruthless plunder of this prosperous main city.
After Lao Jiu officially showed his hole cards, this Orer city was doomed to tragedy. Due to the large number of troops, they were drawn to the front line to support, and the real defenders of Orcheng were only 100,000 people. But in the face of the sudden enemy, these people have long been in chaos.
In addition, the city lord's mansion perished at the first time, so that the entire city, without command, was completely chaotic. In just one night, Lao Jiu once again created a miracle, using only 100,000 soldiers to capture a main city overnight.
And when the news of the capture of Orcheng reached the ears of the Mongol Great Khan, the other party was taken aback, and then hurriedly notified the front line and returned to support as soon as possible. It is necessary to retake Orl City with all its might before the Empire of Freedom can gain a foothold.
After determining that there were only hundreds of thousands of Xiaoyao troops, the main force of the Mongol Empire began to return at full speed, preparing to recapture Orcheng as soon as possible. After receiving the news, Lao Jiu did not have any panic.
After determining that there was no resistance in the city, he asked Wang Dazhi to defend the city with 100,000 Suzaku troops, while he left quietly with 10,000 undead cavalry. And with the return of the Chinese army, the layout of the Ma army has finally kicked off.
