Chapter 278: Soldiers enter the Els Domain
On May 3rd, a large-scale battle was fought between the main forces of the Xia Kingdom and the Sun Never Sets. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] The armies of nearly 10 million troops on both sides fought on a front that stretched for more than 150 miles. The battle lasted five days and ended with the defeat of the Xia Kingdom.
The reason for the development of the Great War was that Han Xin led an elite army of nearly five million Xia Kingdom, and planned to use two million troops to raid the small border town of the Sun Never Setting Country 90 miles away. In this way, it is necessary to open the main force to enter the belly of the Els Territory of the Sunset Country, and complete the purpose of forming a strategic encirclement of the main army of the Sunset Country. Of the 2 million raiders, 500,000 cavalry were dispatched, and 1.5 million infantry attacked. Take the small border town where only 200,000 sunsets are garrisoned* and enter the belly of Els's territory.
Originally, 1.5 million infantry were attacking the small city in a fair way, while 500,000 cavalry were making a detour. Fight from the country road to the back of the town, and destroy the defenders of the city in a battle. However, the heavens did not grant people's wishes. More than a million infantrymen were waiting for the cavalry to reach the offensive position when they were accidentally discovered by the country on which the sun never sets. In order to avoid being killed by the Xia army, the country of the sun never sets sent two million troops to support. And after being discovered by the Sunset* team, the Xia * team hurriedly launched an attack on the small town. But the cavalry still didn't arrive!
Originally, the cavalry should have arrived before the infantry, but they did not expect heavy rain for a day in a row. Although the army still marched in the rain, the country roads were muddy after being washed away by the heavy rain. After the 500,000 cavalry of the Xia Kingdom arrived, they had already lost more than 30,000 troops, and they were still a day late. Because of such a day, the Xia * team failed to take the small city in time, but the cavalry of the country where the sun never set arrived at the small city first. And also made a surprise attack on the Xia * team that was besieging the city at that time, causing the Xia * team to lose more than 100,000 yuan, and forced the cavalry of the Sun Never Set Country to retreat into the city.
After that, the armies of both sides moved each other and fought fiercely around such a small city, which was one hundred and fifty miles long. On the one hand, it is to prevent the army of the country on which the sun never sets to go to support, and buy time for the army to attack the rear of the Els Territory. On the one hand, the purpose is to let the Xia * team not cause strategic encirclement of their own side, and desperately impact the Xia defense line. And the defenders of the small city also knew how important their position was, and they did everything possible to resist the siege of the Xia * team in front.
The two sides fought for three days, and finally ended the war because the newly occupied Rizhao State of Xia was attacked by Prussia.
At the height of the war, no one knew that the sun never set would unite with Prussia. Originally, the two feuding countries had to unite for the sake of the interests of the game. So, when the war between the country of Japan and the country of Xia was anxious. Prussia suddenly dispatched an elite army of 1 million to attack the southern city of Zhenri County (formerly the territory of Rizhao Kingdom). The defenders of the Xia Kingdom were successfully raided by the Prussian army without paying attention, and took more than 30 cities in a row. The 300,000 troops originally deployed on the border between the two countries were also defeated in one blow, and the troops were defeated. More importantly, because the Prussian raid was successful, it directly threatened the main logistics route of the Xia army.
Because of the lack of ships in the Xia Kingdom, the Erbuna River did not become the main logistics transportation route of the Xia Kingdom. The best transportation route is maintained through Zhenri County. Now, the surprise attack of the million-strong army of Prussia directly threatens the logistics and transportation routes. This surprised Han Xin, the commander of the Xia army, and hurriedly commanded the army to fight and retreat. Finally, on the night of May 8, the Xia army retreated eighty miles.
After a few days of fighting, Xia lost nearly 200,000 cavalry troops and more than 500,000 infantry. Coupled with the surprise attack of Prussia, the 300,000 elite troops of the Xia State were wiped out, and the Xia State lost one million troops in one breath after the first battle, which can be described as a nerve-wracking injury. Coupled with the threat of logistical routes, Xia Guo was suddenly at a strategic disadvantage. Of course, the sun never sets on the country and there is still no benefit. Compared with the Xia Kingdom's loss of 1.1 million troops, although the Sun Never Sets Country suffered fewer losses, it was definitely not light.
Of the 100,000 cavalry, almost half of them were lost, and only 60,000 cavalry remained. Of the more than 4 million infantry, more than 400,000 were lost, and the casualties were still not small. Later, Prussia did not escape its doom. Because of the sudden attack of the Prussian state, the Xia state's originally victorious conference was in vain, and it also threatened the logistics and transportation of the Xia state. Therefore, after pondering for a while, Han Xin directly gave up continuing to attack the country of Sunset, and instead pressed the army towards Prussia.
The country where the sun does not set cannot be fought for the time being, and the Xia country, which has lost a million elite troops, lost to the country of the sun does not set in terms of troops. If the stalemate with the country continues, the logistical transport routes will continue to face the threat of the Prussian state, which is likely to destroy millions of elite soldiers. Therefore, Han Xin still planned to solve the scourge behind him first. In addition, there was another reason for Han Xin to calmly start attacking Prussia.
On the 10th of May, the army of the Sun Never Setting Country, which had recovered a little vitality, planned to beat the water dogs and bully the millions of troops in the Xia Kingdom. Originally, the army had already been assembled, and it was about to set off to attack the army of the Xia Kingdom. Who knows, at this time, a fast horse came from the east, and a battle report came, which made Weir give up attacking the Xia Kingdom on the spot.
Team Beichen* has entered the Els collar!
This news immediately surprised Weir, and he immediately gave up his plan to attack the Xia * team. The news came from the 100,000 troops that Veer had previously deployed on the eastern front line of Els's territory. On the day that the Beichen Army's army entered the Els Territory, the Sunset * team discovered the whereabouts of the Beichen Army. The 100,000-strong army hurriedly retreated with the defenders of the nearby cities, completely abandoning more than thirty cities in the eastern part of the Els Territory. Now more than 300,000 troops have been gathered, stationed in a big mountain, intending to use the terrain to block the Beichen army for a while. At the same time, he also reported the news of the Beichen army's killing to the camp where Vir was.
After receiving the news, Ville immediately convened the generals of the army and held a military meeting. The battle report came from the east, and it took about two days, and now maybe the 300,000 troops had already engaged the Beichen army. On my own side, I can't afford not to be in a hurry. Now the main force of the army has just started a big battle with the main force of the Xia State, and although its own side has won, the number of troops has also dropped to more than three million. Compared with the Beichen Army, it is only a few hundred thousand more, but the combat effectiveness of the Beichen Army has always been far away on the mainland, and Wei does not dare to despise the Beichen Army.
The military meeting discussed for nearly two hours, and the final strategic deployment was to leave more than one million troops on the Western Front and cooperate with the Prussian army to block the Xia Army. The rest of the troops of about 2.7 million troops immediately marched eastward, ready to block the pace of the Beichen army.
In the east of the Els Domain, Xue Rengui and Zhang Han looked at the 300,000 army camp stationed on the mountain peak in front of them, and finally showed a helpless expression. A few days earlier, after Xue Rengui and Zhang Han had joined forces, about 800,000 troops immediately gave up the purpose of heading north to Xilong City. As for the more than 200,000 days of unruly troops that stood in the way, the two of them were directly thrown to Xiao Chen and Yue Fei.
Xiao Chen had an army of two million besieging Xilong City, and the 200,000 Sun Never Set* team didn't dare to go to support at all. After Xiao Chen's army broke through Xilong City, the 200,000 army would not end well. On the contrary, Zhang Han and Xue Rengui's 800,000-strong army continued to block here, not only to no avail, but also to waste precious time. This is absolutely not allowed by Xue Rengui and Zhang Han, so after the two of them made up their minds. Only 50,000 cavalry were left outside the city, and they slipped around. While protecting the safety of the logistics troops, it also shocked the 200,000 sunset teams.
The rest of the nearly 800,000-strong army immediately raised troops to the west and directly attacked Elsling. Now the Sun Never Sets has assembled an army of nearly five million in Els's territory, but the main force is on the Western Front. In the eastern part of Els's territory, there are only hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there. And the main force of the country where the sun never sets, and is restrained by the main army of the Xia country, as long as his 800,000 army enters the Els territory, the harvest is definitely not small.
In fact, it was exactly that, after learning that the Beichen Army had entered the Els Territory. The 100,000 defenders deployed by Veil immediately called on the defenders of the nearby cities and the cities in the rear, and all of them retreated to the peak of Villagas. This peak is more than 1,800 meters above sea level, and it overlooks the central region of the Els Territory, and is definitely the best place to defend. As for the thirty or forty cities in the eastern region, they were directly lost to the Beichen army.
And Xue Rengui and Zhang Han led the army, all the way west, trapped thirty-eight cities in a row, and killed the peak of Villagas Mountain in one go. After arriving here, the two had to stop. The peaks of Villagas are too high, and the location is too important. forced the two to continue westward safely only after taking the peak of Villagas.
However, on the peak of Villagas, there are 300,000 defenders of the country on which the sun never sets. Among them, 300,000 enemy troops were divided into six large battalions, each of which had 50,000 soldiers and horses. These six large camps, each located on the mountainside of the peak of Villagas, occupy a precarious position. Even after Xue Rengui and Zhang Han saw it, they gasped, this place is really not easy to fight.
In order to avoid heavy losses for the army, Xue Rengui and Zhang Han still chose not to attack here for the time being. At this time, they have already occupied thirty-eight cities in Els's territory, so it is better to digest these cities first. In order to speed up the occupation of the city, the Beichen Army did not have much time to manage these received cities. Neither the wealth nor the goods in the city have been transported to the rear, so the first priority now is to move the things to the rear first.
As long as all the things in these cities are moved to the rear, then even if the sun does not set and the country divides its troops to attack its own 800,000 troops, and the Beichen army loses these more than 30 cities, there will be no big losses. As a result, of the more than 800,000 troops, only 300,000 soldiers were stationed under the peak of Mount Veracas to confront the Sunset Brigade* above. The rest of the troops were all transferred to the dozens of cities they had received and began to scour the land.
Of course, the two did not forget to pay attention to the movements of the enemy troops on the peaks of Villagas. It is believed that as long as the defenders make the slightest mistake, both of them will seize the opportunity and directly take the peak of Villagas. However, in the past few days, the enemy troops on the peak of Villagas have not made any mistakes. In the face of the prestigious Beichen Army, all the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets on the peak of Villagas Mountain did not dare to despise the Beichen Army.
Fortunately, there is a natural spring on this peak, which is cool and thirst-quenching, which allows the army to sustain itself in the hot summer. The peak of Chevilagas originally had more than one million stone of grain and grass in reserve, and it was intended to be the main stronghold of the Beichen Army in the army area. Relying on the dangerous terrain of the mountain peak, coupled with the abundant moisture of grain and grass, it was enough to block the Beichen army for a while.
When Xue Rengui got the Xia * team and the sun never set* team on the one hundred and fifty miles front, a large-scale battle was launched. In the end, Xia Guo lost a move and lost more than 100,000 soldiers. The news from this detailed work made Xue Rengui extremely depressed. Originally, I was going to count on this summer * team, and a lot of containment of the main force of the sun never sets* team for a while. But I didn't expect the powerful Xia Kingdom to stumble. The death of a million troops made Xia Guo a lot of injuries.
Now that the sun never sets has won the battle of the General Assembly, I believe that I will definitely get the news that I have led an army of 800,000 into the Els Territory. Maybe he is already leading a large army and is coming to his side. You must know that it was four days before Xue Rengui got the news of the defeat of the Xia Kingdom, and at this time, before the army of the Sun Never Sets Country came, he still had a while of time. When the sun does not set arrives, the people of the country will be completely embarrassed.
Do you want to hit the peaks of Villagas or retreat?
This question made Xue Rengui very distressed!
In the end, one more night, Xue Rengui saw his soldiers lighting fires to keep warm. It's already May, but the night weather is still a bit cold. Therefore, most of the soldiers lit countless fires to warm their bodies.
Seeing the soaring flames, thinking of the peaks of Mount Veracas that he observed, Xue Rengui suddenly thought of a feasible method.
Afterwards, Xue Rengui ran directly to the big tent of the Chinese army and called Zhang Han. The two hid in the big tent, and Xue Rengui immediately said what he thought. Enlarging the fire and burning the mountain will definitely make the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets very dissatisfied. It's just that these are no longer under the consideration of the thousands of soldiers of the Beichen Army. You provide the latest, fastest and most complete free novel updates【】
