Chapter 375: The Autumn Wind Sweeps the Leaves
readx;
Zhao Yun finally escaped from the encirclement of the White Jade Legion, but the losses were relatively heavy. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info (800) Novel / It is good to say earlier that there are 60,000 cavalry who have not yet rushed into the formation, and have retreated directly, with almost no losses. But the 40,000 soldiers who rushed into the formation did a life-and-death struggle. The White Jade Legion, from the beginning, Zhao Yun didn't know that this was the elite troops of the Undead Realm. It's just that after this battle, Zhao Yun can no longer forget the four words of the White Jade Army.
Of the 40,000 soldiers, more than 27,000 died on that battlefield. Regarding the super strong ability of the White Jade Legion to resist attacks, Zhao Yun could only be speechless. The high-speed galloping war horse, plus the weight of the knights above, and the weight of various equipment, weighed more than 1,200 pounds. But that's it, after being hit, those skeleton shelves were not knocked apart. Instead, he immediately got up from the ground and swung his weapon to slash and slash.
Cavalry does not have the precision of infantry. On top of a fast-moving war horse, it is not very simple to want a spear to directly stab the head of a skeleton. Most cavalrymen still prefer to stab directly in the chest. In the case of ordinary people, after the spear is pierced into the enemy's chest, the knight must immediately release the spear. Because under the action of force, the wooden barrel of the gun will be bent by the force. In this way, the cavalry, having stabbed the enemy, immediately released the spear. The enemy who is stabbed is likely to be disemboweled, and the head of the gun is likely to be disemboweled.
Because of this, many cavalrymen liked to stab the enemy in the chest. However, this time it was a long-term insight for the knights of the Beichen Army. After aiming the spear at the skeleton's chest, it is too late for the soldiers to change the direction of the spear's stab when they find that the enemy's chest is completely empty. The spear then passes through the enemy's chest, and if you're lucky, you can use the spear to land the skeleton on the ground. But if you're unlucky, there's a skeleton hanging directly from the barrel of the gun. With the speed bonus, the skeleton can directly slide down the barrel of the gun to the knight's eyes, and the consequences are needless to say.
Attacking the formation of 50,000 skeletons is not too difficult for the cavalry of the Beichen Army, but it is just a little difficult to kill. But because it is difficult to kill, the enemy is very stubborn and stubborn. In the end, the 150,000 horses in the remaining three directions of the White Jade Legion were killed, and Zhao Yun had no choice but to lead more than 10,000 people who had fought their way out of the encirclement. In the array, there were nearly 10,000 people, desperately unable to rush out.
If there were any important people in the formation, Zhao Yun was definitely willing to lead the 10,000 remnants to rush into the formation again. However, Zhao Yun couldn't do this, and now he was trapped in the close battle of nearly 10,000 soldiers. The enemy's main force has also been surrounded, and if you are rushing in, it is very likely that you will not be able to kill yourself. In this way, not to mention the 10,000 remnants of the soldiers who had just come out of the battle after a fierce battle. He needs to save the strength of the elite cavalry of Beichen Kingdom, and he can't just send him to death in vain.
With 10,000 remnants of soldiers, he traveled only a few miles to the west, and Zhao Yun met 60,000 soldiers who were waiting here early. Looking at the 70,000 cavalry in front of him, and then thinking about the 100,000 army he brought with him when he came out, he almost lost nearly 30,000 elite cavalry in this battle alone. Before reading the full text of the latest chapter, the king also said that he tried to preserve his strength as much as possible, and then he was thinking about killing the enemy. But I didn't expect it to be like this now, let alone killing the enemy, 100,000 cavalry lost 30,000 just by walking around, how can I explain myself!
Zhao Yun, who was in an extremely bad mood, shrugged his head and returned to the City of Death. At this time, the city had been completely cleaned up by the soldiers of the Beichen Army. The ruins of the city, and the bones and slag, were cleared out of the city. The entire city is no longer filled with black fog and lifeless.
Is Xiao Chen's mood good, naturally it is not good. 30,000 elite cavalry, if it is said that it is five or six cavalry divisions behind, even if it is a loss of 100,000, he will not care about it. Because you have the first and second cavalry divisions, you don't need to worry at all, you can draw some elite cavalry to bring new recruits at any time. But this time, the 30,000 elite cavalry was gone. According to Xiao Chen's idea, 30,000 cavalry, even if one veteran leads three recruits, it is enough for two cavalry divisions, and the combat effectiveness will not be too bad.
However, Xiao Chen did not blame Zhao Yun. This time it was indeed his own negligence, not only did Zhao Yun not expect that the enemy's fleeing White Jade Legion would be so powerful. Even Xiao Chen, Yue Fei and the others never expected it.
Gathered in the City Lord's Mansion in the city, Yue Fei frowned and said, "Great King, if it is according to the situation that Zilong encountered, then the war behind us will not be easy to fight!" ”
"No, the power of the cavalry charge is not unseen by everyone. Even those peerless fierce generals didn't dare to say that they could resist the war horses that rushed quickly. But those creatures resisted, and they were able to stand up and kill the enemy. Qin Ming, can you tell me when such an elite will appear in the realm of the undead? Xiao Chen finished speaking depressedly, and then glared at Qin Ming beside him.
Qin Ming was immediately sweating profusely, how did he know. Since two years ago, I have begun to investigate a lot of situations in the country of the undead, but the intelligence has never said that there is still a force in the country of the undead. If I knew, I wouldn't have been in this situation.
Qin Ming wiped his sweat, hurriedly stood up, knelt in the hall and said, "Back to the king, the last general has failed to find out that there is such an elite army in the realm of the undead. As a result, our army suffered heavy losses, and I hope that the king will punish him! “
If you follow what Qin Ming said, this time it was really a heavy loss. You must know that attacking the entire city of death, as well as the two million undead army that was wiped out before, the infantry of the Beichen Army has not lost 10,000 people. As for the Taoist Legion and the Monk Legion, the skin was not broken at all. As a result, in order to pursue an undead army that escaped from the city, it lost a full 30,000 cavalry. There are only 500,000 cavalry in Beichen Kingdom. Counting the wounded, this time there were 50,000 casualties, or one-tenth of the cavalry in the country.
"Okay Qin Ming, you can get up too, go back and reflect on it, I don't want this situation to happen again!" Xiao Chen waved his hand and said to Qin Ming, who was kneeling on the ground.
Qin Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Thank you for the king's forgiveness, I will definitely take a good look when I go back!" “
Xiao Chen nodded, and then said to Zhao Yun next to him, "Zilong, you should get up too." The responsibility for this failure is not yours, and this king also made mistakes. It's just that I didn't expect this white jade army to be so powerful, and I really can't underestimate the realm of the undead! “
"Thank you for the grace of the king!" Zhao Yun clenched his teeth and stood up, which showed how much Zhao Yun should hate the White Jade Army in his heart now.
"Well, Pengju. The following military action is up to you. Our Beichen Kingdom's first battle against the Kingdom of the Dead has achieved very great results, but everyone must not take it lightly, the Kingdom of the Dead has been able to develop to the present, and the background is not much worse than our Beichen Kingdom. I also hope that all the generals will take the lead in the battle. When it is time to return to the dynasty, this king should drink with you! Xiao Chen stood up and gave everyone a sigh of encouragement, which could be regarded as weakening the impact of Zhao Yun's defeat this time.
"We are determined to fight on the battlefield for the king, and we will never give up!" The lord of the hall immediately stood up and said in unison.
"Good! This king will go first! Pengju, I'll leave it to you here! After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he left the table and walked towards the side hall.
"No!" Yue Fei got up and answered.
"Congratulations to the king!"
--------------------------------------------------
Three days later, the two million regular troops of the Beichen Army, plus the newly organized militia of one million, armed with sharp weapons and wearing fine armor, immediately poured from the city of death to all directions.
In less than half a month, the army of three million has captured dozens of cities in the realm of the undead, as well as a heavy city, and its own losses are negligible.
Before the invasion of Beichen Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Undead sent a large number of troops to the battlefield on the Eastern Front, in an attempt to defeat the resistance of the British player coalition on the Eastern Front and annex a large amount of land. However, in the face of the joint confrontation of British players, the army of the undead suffered millions of casualties, and still failed to defeat the British players on the Eastern Front. And the country of the undead was originally a soldier for all people, and it was able to gather more than 100 million skull seas, so naturally most of the undead in the territory were drawn into the army.
After a long period of attack, the country of the undead ushered in a joint attack by the Beichen Army and the Xia Kingdom. In desperation, Arthas could only transfer the main forces of the Eastern Front and dispatch the Quartet, intending to resist the offensive pace of Beichen and Xia. But now the tens of millions of troops blocking the Beichen Kingdom have been wiped out, and the casualties of the Beichen Army are small and pitiful. The troops blocking the Beichen Army died and the City of Death fell.
Behind the city of the dead is a large pile of undefended territories in the belly of the kingdom of the undead. It's not that Alsace doesn't want to fortify, it's that there are no troops to draw from. Needless to say, the 50 million army on the Eastern Front can be annihilated in one fell swoop, and even only need to severely damage the British player coalition on the opposite side. But until now, there is still no way, but I still got the news of the fall of the city of death.
The situation of the territory, Alsace knows better than anyone. When the Sea of Skulls of 100 million was gathered before, it had already drained all the slightly stronger of the undead. Now the tens of millions of troops guarding the City of Death have been annihilated by the Beichen Army, and to the east of the City of Death, there is almost nothing that can stop the Beichen Army. If those more than 10 million skeletons that were knocked apart by humans could exert their might, they might be able to stop the Beichen Army for a few days.
However, judging by the war reports that are coming now. Those guys really lived up to their expectations, and in the face of the Beichen Army's army of three million, they had no power to resist at all. Until the loss of dozens of cities, and the loss of another heavy city, the loss is completely clean.
That's a heavy city and dozens of cities, and this undead realm can't be compared to a human kingdom like Beichen Kingdom. The promotion of your own country does not depend on the city, but on the number of skeletons and the size of the territory. Therefore, when we occupied the city, we destroyed many of them, and finally demolished some of them. At present, there are only more than 300 cities in the entire realm of the undead, and there are only seven important cities. Needless to say, the capital city has always been the city of death, which has always been the forefront of the defense of the Beichen Army, and has fallen into the hands of the Beichen Army.
And on the way from the central capital of the king in the western part of the kingdom, there is a heavy city called the Lich City. This important city is built in the middle of a large canyon, which connects the east and west directions. Such an important city is now also in the hands of the Beichen Army. All this is because the 10 million army on the Western Front was completely annihilated in a short period of time, causing the emptiness of the hinterland of his kingdom.
Even the current capital, Alsace City. Today, there are only more than a million undead troops stationed there, and more than two million garbage skeletons that have been selected. Even the city of death, which was garrisoned by tens of millions of troops, was breached, and there was no need to talk about his own capital. Presumably, it won't be long before he gets the information that the capital has been captured.
It's not that Arthas doesn't want to come back now, it's that it's too late. In less than a month, the Beichen Army directly advanced more than 1,200 miles eastward from Beichen's country. This speed is almost a tour, and there is no obstacle at all, otherwise it would not be possible to reach the speed of marching more than forty miles a day. You know, you don't have to build a gallop road in China
The eastern part of the kingdom has been occupied by the Beichen army, and the last important city, Lich City, is the same. A few hundred miles further east, you will be able to reach your own capital. With the strength of those forces in the capital, Arthas did not believe that they would be able to stop the pace of the Beichen army.
In desperation, Arthas is now also sad, and can only try his best to find a way to contain the British player coalition in the east first. After that, transfer back the troops sent to block the Xia Kingdom and prepare to defend the eastern part of the kingdom. The Beichen army has advanced to the middle of the kingdom, and if the rest of the place is defended, it will be easily cut off by others.
Looking at the skeletal cavalry, riding the slow-paced bony horses, galloping in three directions, Arthas could only pray that he still had time to gather his army
Just when Arthas was preoccupied, an undead army of up to three million men emerged from the mountains and continued north. Where their purpose is, no one knows. Maybe they want to go to the north and stop the tens of millions of undead who are fighting the Xia army. Perhaps it is possible to go north directly and attack the territory of Beichen and Xia, all of which is unknown. The scouts of the Beichen Army, who were pursuing this force, had long since withdrawn from the mountains and given up the pursuit
