Chapter 1144: The Battle of the Counterattack
When the news came, Li Ran also immediately sent air cavalry scouts to reconnoitre, and after confirming that the Grenada side had dispatched nearly two-thirds of the legions this time, and its target was the Cruyard side, he also contacted and confirmed it at the first time, and decided to send a large army to support.

However, a regular army of nearly one million, although it has been in a state of combat readiness, but it is not a matter of saying that it is easy to go, considering that the Grenada side is advancing very quickly in the intelligence, so Li Ran decided to have two troops, Xia Houben led nearly 300,000 elites to set off in the afternoon of the same day, and he and other teammates led the army to support after being ready.
But at this moment, when people learned of this large-scale march and thought that the decisive battle was about to begin, they were surprised to find that the Imperial Legion, which was sending troops in the direction of the Kruyad coalition army, suddenly retreated late at night on the third day, not only pointed directly at the Khan Rock Empire coalition army that had left the city, but also divided into an elite and fast army of nearly 600,000 cavalry-based among the nearly two million troops, and rushed head-on to the forward legion of Prince Terryth, who was still in a daze.
Although I don't know who made this decision, when the news came, although everyone was shocked, the next moment they understood the intention of this Grenada legion, which was to attack Kruyard in the name of attacking Kruyard, but in fact to take the side of the Khan Rock Empire in one fell swoop.
Especially later, when they learned that most of the 600,000 legions that were separated were not only composed of elites above the super rank, but also the number of high-level warriors above the legendary level reached nearly 30,000, accounting for almost seventy percent of the entire royal alliance, they were even more sure of their opinions.
I didn't expect that the Grenada side would not move, and such an amazing ambush was set up in one move, and it is conceivable that in the face of nearly twice the opponent, which gathered most of the high-level troops of the Grenada side, the 300,000 reinforcements that came in a hurry from the Khan Rock Empire were simply powerless.
And once this forward army is destroyed, the Khan Rock Empire, whose morale has been weakened and there are only less than 600,000 troops left, will lose its threat even if it can escape back to its stronghold under the outflanking of the Grenada army.
In this way, the Grenada side will undoubtedly break the current embarrassing stalemate, and whether they choose to storm here and eliminate the Khan Rock Empire in one fell swoop, or retreat to the second, and then under the condition of ensuring the stability of the war situation, they will undoubtedly completely grasp the initiative on the battlefield by increasing the war here.
This is everyone's opinion of this battle, and just when everyone was sighing that this battle might become a turning point in the battle between the three empires, with the intelligence that came over the next day, they were surprised to find that the reinforcements of the Khan Rock Empire, who were pursued by the 600,000 elite legions of the Grenada Empire, actually ran away under the eyes of the other party.
When the news came, everyone felt a little incredible, because judging from the intelligence, although the 300,000 legions rushed to support by the Khan Rock Empire were also fast legions, in addition to the regular minotaurs and elven cavalry, the number of infantry also accounted for about half.
And the 600,000 elite legions in charge of the pursuit on the Grenada side can be said to be carefully selected, and the cavalry corps alone is the sum of the opponent's numbers.
But fortunately, judging from the intelligence, the reason why this Khan Rock Empire ran away may be because their reconnaissance work was relatively in place, and they changed their route in time to escape the catastrophe of the day, and from the point of view of the escape route, it was also impossible to return to the large army, and they fled to the east in a hurry, hoping to get the rescue of Kruyard.
But everyone knows that the Grenada coalition led by King Rolf and the warlike Duke of De Levis, this time to use such a large lineup, must have been carefully thought out before, taking into account all kinds of unexpected circumstances, which can be seen from the fact that they chose this one, embarrassing the opponent and suddenly killed the horse pistol.
There is no place in front of the village and no store in the back, this is everyone's opinion on the situation of this Khan Rock Empire vanguard army at the moment, although compared to their own main army in the rear, it is a wise move for them to choose to flee to the side of Kruyard, but it is also a distance of hundreds of kilometers, not to mention whether their ally dares to really rescue, I am afraid that they have escaped today, and they will not be able to escape the encirclement and suppression the next day.
However, to everyone's surprise, as the second day passed, there was still no news of Grenada's annihilation of this vanguard army, and even at noon on the third day, there was still no news of the two sides fighting.
If there is no news the next day, it can also show that this forward army of the Khan Rock Empire is really capable of running, and it can drag the opponent for a whole day under the condition of rapid marching.
But until now, they still haven't caught up, and some people seem to have noticed that something is wrong, and at this moment, they suddenly got information from the front, the Prince of Terryth of the Khan Rock Empire, and the reinforcement army led by him, when it seemed that he was retreating to the stronghold in a hurry, he did not choose to enter the city, but suddenly turned around and killed the Grenadian coalition army that rushed to kill.
When the news came, everyone was shocked, and just when they couldn't understand why the prince did this, they soon got another shocking news, Grenada's million-strong army had been defeated at the front! Prince Rorsena was unfortunately captured!
All of a sudden, the whole country was in an uproar! Especially for the panicked citizens of Grenada, they couldn't figure out why the imperial coalition with millions of troops was defeated so quickly.
However, with the transmission of various intelligence, they also quickly understood the reason, it turned out that from the beginning, they had been fooled, and the legion pursued by the 600,000 elite legions of the empire was not at all the elite legion sent by the Khan Rock Empire, or Prince Terres to assist Cruyard, but a ragtag army commanded by logistics and some elven cavalry, as for the number, there were not 300,000, at most only 200,000.
As for the reason why it took nearly two days to catch up with them, it was because when this legion set out on the expedition, except for some cavalry legions that were deliberately displayed to the outside world, they brought out plenty of war horses and convoys, so when they were pursued, this motley army with no combat effectiveness became all cavalry.
And it was this motley army that seemed to be quite numerous, but had no combat effectiveness, but this Prince of Territh dragged away nearly 600,000 elites of the empire, including more than seventy percent of the high-level troops.
As for what happened next, everyone also knows, in the face of the Grenada royal coalition army, which has more troops than himself, but has lost the high-level forces that can control the battle situation, the prince of the god of war who has fought the entire southern region with his own strength, resolutely chose to attack forcibly.
On one side is the Imperial Alliance, which has a numerical superiority in arms, but is inferior to its opponent in terms of superior troops, and at the same time marches for several days in a row, and is not in the best state in terms of mental and physical strength.
On the other side is the Khan Rock Empire coalition army, which is slightly weaker in number of troops, but has an advantage in high troops, and at the same time, it is in the best state of war in terms of mental and physical strength.
As for the result, it is obvious, although the two sides must have fought to the death during this period, but the final result was a great victory for the Khan Rock Empire led by Prince Terres.
Nearly 1,100,000 Imperial Coalition troops eventually fled back less than 400,000 people, and even one prince was captured, which was the result of Duke Brinchev's rescue who was stationed in the camp, and by the time the 600,000 elite army arrived desperately the next day, the Prince of Terrys had already led the army back to the garrison.
When the information came, everyone was dumbfounded, and the battle damage of nearly 700,000 legions cast a shadow on the Grenada Empire, which was in dire straits.
What worries the citizens of Grenada even more is that taking advantage of this opportunity, Khan Rock and Kruyard began to advance step by step after their morale soared, and in the following few days, they even beat their royal alliance army to their own cities and did not dare to go out.
Originally, no matter which aspect it is, although the three parties have been in a confrontation, everyone knows in their hearts that the Grenadan side, which has a favorable geographical location, undoubtedly still has a certain advantage.
But at this moment, with the loss of 700,000 troops and the loss of morale, the scales of war seem to be slowly tilting, at least from the current point of view, the Grenada side has reluctantly given up the initiative in the war under the sudden defeat and demoralization.
However, on the other hand, everyone also knew that the battle did not end there, and despite this defeat, the Grenada side still retained nearly two million strong troops, and the High Legion did not lose too much, and still had the ability to fight against it.
However, defeat is defeat after all, and its impact is not just a number, in addition to the ensuing sluggish morale, after this battle, it is the greed of Cruyard's side, who has not lost a single soldier.
If there is only a three-percent chance, let these short-tempered and ambitious barbarians be reluctant to give up, and at this time, after they think of half the chance, the wolf nature flowing in their blood seems to be stimulated at once, as more and more lords driven by interests lead the clansmen across the border, Krach and others here are even more rapidly deploying troops, and there is a great way to completely capture Grenada.
