Chapter 114: Troubled Frontier (1)
Time flies, and a month has passed quickly, and the grain production bases on both sides of the north and south boundary rivers have also formed a basic scale. In particular, the landform to which the grassland belongs has basically been transformed into crop land by Lao Jiu.
Besides, the army led by Ma Jun and Mi Xiaobao also felt the two major cities respectively. After leaving the army in charge of the city, two pairs of cavalry began to roam the perimeter, and all players and armies that came close to the two cities would be attacked by cavalry.
This makes the frontiers of the two empires almost a forbidden area. And for the two major passes of Qilin and Canyon, it is the same. Divided into two teams by the forty thieves, backed by the passes behind them, they plundered near the two passes.
It can be said that the current 40 thieves are burning and looting at the two major passes in the name of bandits, and they are the one who is causing the disaster. directly cut off the players' idea of getting out of the level, so as to achieve the goal that Lao Jiu wanted from the side.
But even so, it is almost impossible to block the news outside the customs. Therefore, Lao Jiu's follow-up arrangement is to let the forty thieves plunder in the two empires from time to time, and make the picture public, so that they are equivalent to helping Huaxia and suppressing the enemy country, so as to reduce the possibility of being encircled and suppressed by Huaxia.
Of course, Huaxia would very much like to see this kind of situation. For Huaxia, the forty thieves are rootless duckweed, and they can be defeated at any time. What's more, today's forty thieves are simply equivalent to Huaxia's knives in the north.
Their plundering of the two empires was only enough to meet their own needs, but this delayed the discovery of the two empires, and at the same time served as a protective umbrella for northern China. Therefore, Huaxia will let the forty thieves go unchecked.
Instead, the focus was on the southeastern coast of the empire, as well as the southwestern border. At the same time, in the interior, a large number of agriculture was developed to meet the needs of the Chinese population. At the same time, a large amount of supplies were also stockpiled for the war in the coming year. Because the current grain reserves have become a constraint for almost all empires.
Of course, Lao Jiu would not allow Huaxia to develop so steadily, lest they take out their excess energy and think about calculating forty thieves. Therefore, after disguising himself, Lao Jiu entered the mainland of China.
In order to avoid the sight of Huaxia, as soon as the spring ploughing ended, Lao Jiu set off towards the southwest border of China. Along the way, he flew almost all the way at night, bypassing all the main cities of the system at the same time, and it took more than a month to reach the southwestern border.
For the huge China, there are no less than dozens of empires bordering it in the southwest. The other countries are united in their efforts to deal with China, because once they are separated, it will be impossible for any country to resist the pace of China's attack.
Therefore, after Lao Jiu arrived at the southwest border, it was to provoke a war so that they could not develop safely. At the same time, it is also for military training, he wants to train a real special forces for the Empire, and he wants to leave another miracle in this game!
Lao Jiu first chose a no-man's land in the Indian area, and then built a teleportation array. It can be said that this time, Lao Jiu has made a bloody investment, and he wants to build a secret base of his own on this battlefield, so that he can communicate more conveniently.
It was already the beginning of May, and Lao Jiu's grain and grass in the north and south boundary rivers were basically exhausted, so he had to get a large amount of food in ten days, which made him set his sights on the garrison on the border of China.
After two days of personal investigation, Lao Jiu has found a granary, and it is estimated that the grain reserve is more than 100,000 tons, which is a million troops and three months of grain and grass. This granary is located at the rear of the station, in a secret valley.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and Lao Jiu quietly sneaked into the location of the granary. There are basically no elite troops here, they are all engaged in logistics, so the level is not high, which gives Lao Jiu a lot of opportunities, and these logistics soldiers are basically NPCs, and after they are removed, they will not attract the attention of the other party for the time being.
Lao Jiu sneak attacked with level eighty strength, coupled with perception shielding, and soon sneaked into a large granary, and then directly opened He's Bi and began to let the people inside carry grain and grass. This is not the first time for these people.
Therefore, their efficiency and movements are fast and skillful. There is no need for Lao Jiu to do extra guidance at all.
At the same time, Lao Jiu also released 10,000 cavalry in the space. In the more than a month that Lao Jiu has been lying down, their equipment has basically been replaced, and the unicorn horses have also undergone special packaging, they are like knights from hell.
Lao Jiu's name for this unit is "Undead Knight"! This is a cavalry from hell, which comes out of thin air, disappears out of thin air, and will become an eternal dream demon in the hearts of the enemy in the future.
Of course, although the manpower received by Lao Jiu was very efficient, it was more than 100,000 tons of grain after all. It was not possible to load it in a while and a half, and it was not until almost dawn that the logistics soldiers came to fetch food for cooking, and Lao Jiu only loaded two-thirds of it.
However, it is obviously impossible to let him give up like this. Therefore, when it was impossible to conceal it, Lao Jiu finally let the undead cavalry dispatch. This can be regarded as a kind of military training, although these logistics troops have no combat effectiveness.
The granary was guarded by this soldier, and the undead cavalry only made a few sprints, and these logistics soldiers began to collapse and flee. And the news also spread back to the front line as soon as possible, and a large number of soldiers began to be sent back to the front, and the first was also the Imperial cavalry.
Lao Jiu's task for the undead cavalry was to delay the opponent's advance as much as possible and buy time for the sacking of the granary. At the same time, on the premise of ensuring their own safety, they should kill and injure the enemy as much as possible to improve their own strength.
For warriors less than level seventy, cavalry is always the fastest. So, in just one hour, the cavalry of both sides had their first official contact.
It was this contact that really reflected the horror of the undead cavalry. Although they only had 10,000 people, they and the opponent's 50,000 cavalry, after colliding head-on, they actually killed the opponent's formation directly!
The next step is to divide the soldiers into two ways and start to charge and kill in a roundabout way. This cavalry can also be regarded as the elite soldiers of Huaxia, and the average level has also increased to level 50. However, compared to the undead cavalry, they are still more than one level behind, and their equipment is not as good as the undead cavalry, which is also the fundamental reason why they were defeated so quickly.
The 50,000 cavalry in the lead in Huaxia failed to cause any damage to the undead cavalry at all, and in just half an hour, they were killed by the undead cavalry and fled in rout. And this directly became a shame for the Chinese Frontier Campaign.
And when the vanguard cavalry fled, the undead cavalry went directly to the frontier. The news of the rout here had just been spread less than ten minutes before the undead cavalry met with the infantry coming from behind.
Lao Jiu's surprise attack this time can be said to have come very suddenly, and it did not give Huaxia time to react at all. Although the 100,000 infantry are all elite, they can't withstand the 10,000 cavalry charging into battle, and the undead cavalry of Lao Jiu are all the elite of the elite, and the equipment is also the top.
Therefore, in just half an hour, the infantry corps that rushed to reinforce was completely scattered in formation. And the undead cavalry is chasing all the way, and the Huaxia army that kills directly loses their armor, and even the players above level 70 have died under the horse.
When the undead cavalry arrived at the border garrison, Lao Jiu also happened to empty the granary, and then he had people set fire to the granary, and rushed directly to the frontier. Today's undead cavalry, the main task is to wreak havoc and then kill the frontier.
He is also very particular about the place he chooses, that is, the junction between India and China, a country that is too small cannot pose a threat to China, nor can it contain the main force of China. Now Lao Jiu has broken a hole here, and at the same time let people spread the news, which gives India an opportunity to take advantage of.
The undead cavalry came out of China all the way, and the Indian army saw it clearly. After waiting for Lao Jiu to take his troops and leave, looking at the chaotic Chinese camp, the Indian side finally chose to send troops.
Of course, there is still a certain gap between India's military strength and that of China, so when they saw that there was a advantage to take advantage of, they decisively chose to attack. Perhaps only this war can be written into their history.
Lao Jiu actually didn't go far, he used 10,000 cavalry to break up the army formation of 500,000 people in Huaxia. In order to give the Indian side a reason to attack and an opportunity to attack. It has to be said that the Indian commander is still very bold.
When the Huaxia military camp was in chaos, he directly launched the order for a general attack. He personally led an army of 500,000 and launched a full-scale attack on Huaxia. At the same time as the news broke, along the border, more than a dozen countries began to be eager to try, looking ready to attack at any time.
Of course, their main purpose was actually to involve the Chinese army and prevent them from forming effective support. Through high-altitude observation, it was only an afternoon for the two sides to form a stalemate.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Lao Jiu set his sights on India's grain reserve base. This is Lao Jiu's real purpose, and it really can't take long to count on Huaxia's grain reserves. So he took advantage of the fact that the Indian side had no time to split up, and once again attacked the granary of India.
This battle came really suddenly, although the Huaxia side messed up the formation, but their losses were almost negligible. Now there is a head-on battle with India, and in just half an hour, both sides are red-eyed.
At this time, the commanders of both sides, in addition to killing the enemy, thought of annihilating each other. As for Lao Jiu, no one can take care of it anymore. In this battle, the two sides fought directly for a day and a night, and in the end they could only end up exhausted.
The number of soldiers killed in this battle in Huaxia was directly as many as 200,000. The Indian side is no better, with more than 200,000 dead and wounded. It can be said that the two sides basically fought and lost both, only Lao Jiu, after looting the grain and grass of both sides, returned directly to Qilin City with his subordinates.
