271 Overwhelming
Zhoushui's 50,000 heavy infantry and 10,000 heavy cavalry protected hundreds of vehicles and steadily advanced towards Vladivostok.
There were other 140,000 Yan player armies in front of them to open the way and sweep up, and basically the small Russian troops along the way were wiped out by this Yan player army. The Zhou Shui army did not need to pay attention to those small groups of Russian troops. Only on the way forward occasionally encountered small and medium-sized fortified military fortresses built by Russian players, the heavy siege engines of the Zhou Shui army would strike and destroy them.
When encountering this kind of strong military fortress, the players of the Yan Kingdom will not attack them with interest, and leave it all to Zhou Shui's heavy weapons to clean up. When the thick layer of "turtle shells" outside the Russian army is broken, they will rush forward and kill the Russian troops inside the fortress.
Along the way, the army of Yan players was overwhelming, and the small and medium-sized military fortresses, fortresses, and passes that Russian players used to hinder Yan players' advance on the way were broken one after another. The defeated Russian player army continued to retreat in the direction of Vladivostok to the south.
Because they had no other direction to retreat, more than 200,000 troops with Zhou Shuijun as the core were killed from the north. To the west is China's territory, and it is looking for its own death. To the east is the Sikhote Mountains, all of which are steep. The Russian army retreated to the mountains to fight guerrillas? That's a joke, the army doesn't have enough food to feed it, it's no different from asking for your own death. The beasts of the mountains can't sustain a huge army.
There is only one narrow road leading to Vladivostok Castle to the south, which is second only to Khabarovsk, and has the strongest player naval fleet in the Russian Far East, commanded by Vladimir, the best Russian player in the Far East. The 6th Army of Vladivostok Castle had more than 100,000 troops. The navy is as many as 200,000 and more than 1,000 high-grade warships. If you count the scattered Russian troops in Vladivostok, which were many routed, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of troops will be added, and hundreds of millions of people will be added; As long as the first military port in the Far East is held. Even if there is no arable land to grow food, there is enough sea area for fishing operations to feed Russia; The Russian army of scattered players could not withstand the fierce attack of the Yan players, and rushed to Vladivostok Castle with their own army in a panic. The Yan player was more excited than eating sweet potatoes, and led his NPC soldiers to chase and slash. All the way, the Russian player army chased wildly.
A few hours later, the army of Yan players had killed more than fifty miles.
The sky gradually darkened, and the Yan players began to worry that they had killed too much, so they became cautious, stopped their crazy pursuit, and began to gather their troops. Get close to other players. The army of more than 200,000 people, divided into several large blocks, was concentrated on a large plain and stationed. Set up camp, then make a fire to cook and have dinner.
The vast majority of player armies don't carry much food, only two to three days' worth of food. Even the Zhou Shui army only carried three days' worth of dry food with them. However, all the Diyan player armies are not worried that they will be short of food, or that their grain routes will be intercepted by the Russian army.
Although the Yan army fought deep into the territory of the Russian Far East, the geographical conditions were very favorable to the Yan army. And very unfavorable for the Russian Far Eastern Army. This is entirely due to the geography of nature.
The west bank of the Ussuri River, which is more than 400 kilometers long, is the vast territory of the Heilongjiang River of Yan Kingdom. The eastern coast is the only road route in the Russian Far East "Khabarovsk-Vladivostok". The north-south transportation corridor of the Russian Far East was completely cut off from the Yan army. The Russian Far Eastern Army lacked sufficient depth, and once the land was lost, it would be difficult to harass the supply lines of the Yan army.
The Yan army carried three days' worth of food, which was enough.
That night, more than 200,000 Yan troops rested on the plain for one night. Russian players also got a rare respite. The line of defense was reorganized. A small group of Russian troops took advantage of the night to counter the sneak attack. But it didn't have much effect, and it was quickly counterattacked. Except for a few places where there were riots. There was no movement in the entire Yan army.
At five o'clock the next day, just after the sky was light, some Yan players who had gotten up early led their troops to launch a new attack and continued to advance in the direction of Vladivostok.
After the previous day's war and a night's correction, the stunned Russian army has recovered from the fierce offensive of the Yan army. The blocking force was noticeably stronger, and both the offensive and the retreat began to appear orderly, and the losses of ground soldiers on the battlefield were much less.
However, this could not stop the continued advance of more than 200,000 Yan troops, and the number of Yan troops continued to increase. The national war between Yan and the Russian Far Eastern principalities had only two major objectives, one was Khabarovsk and the other was Vladivostok.
In both directions, there are a large number of swallow players who have received offensive missions. On the first day of the national war, after cleaning up some small fortresses and passes in the Russian Far Eastern principality, Yan's million-strong army began to converge in these two key directions. After deducting the more than 400,000 troops killed that day, at least 300,000 troops continued the offensive in each direction.
And that's not all, this is just the first batch of Yan player armies invested in the national war.
On the second day, Da Sima Leyi laid out the second batch of national war tasks in Harbin. A million new Yan player armies were again allocated to attack in the direction of Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, and the Yan player armies across the Ussuri River poured overwhelmingly in these two directions.
"For every Russian NPC soldier killed, you get a piece of land. Anyone who breaches a castle can take ownership of it. The captive population is owned by the captive. This is the reward of the great Sima Le Yibu's national war.
This huge reward stimulated countless Yan players to rush towards the other side of the Ussuri River desperately. It is no longer possible to obtain such a reward within the borders of the country. Only in the national war can there be such a rich reward dense army of Yan players, sweeping every territory in the Russian Far East, chasing and killing scattered Russian player armies.
In the Russian Far East, there are no Russian players or troops active in most places, and there are even very few sentinels. Most of the Russian players took their armies and peasants and retreated to twenty or thirty large castles in the Far East to defend the castles. Only these large castles can withstand the large-scale attack of the swallow player.
Vladivostok Castle.
In the central mansion of the city, the Grand Leader Vladimir calmly listened to the latest war report brought back by his players. Hearing that a large number of Russian players had been routed all the way to his Vladivostok castle, he had no expression on his face. Defeat the battle, it's nothing. In war, there is always a winning side, and naturally there is a losing side. It's just that now it's the Russian player army that is losing, and it's just a little unhappy.
However, it is also to be expected.
Players throughout Russia, with a population of 7 million players in Europe and a population of 1 million players in Asia. There are also several Russian principalities in Asia, such as the Russian Principality of Siberia and the Russian Far East. The Russian Far Eastern Principality has a population of about 500,000 players. The entire Yan Kingdom has a population of up to 4 million players, which is 8 times that of the Russian Far East Principality. The Northeast alone also has a population of nearly 2 million players. The Russian players suffered a defeat, and it is reasonable. It would be a little strange if the Russian army could hold all its positions and not move under the fierce offensive of the Yan army.
Vladimir was mentally prepared for this and was not surprised.
The Russian Far East players will reach a trade alliance with Japanese players, sell a large number of raw materials and manufactured products to Japanese players, and it is precisely because they know that they can't resist it on their own, so they want to use the power of Japanese players to contain the power of the Yan player army.
So he is very calm now, knowing that the Russian side is losing badly, and he just listens to it as a story.
He had this confidence that he could withstand the fierce attack of the Yan army in the vicinity of Vladivostok Castle in the vicinity of seventy miles. As more and more Russian armies retreat to Vladivostok, they will become a natural barrier to Vladivostok against the Yan army's attack on Vladivostok.
Moreover, he can also take advantage of this opportunity to absorb a large number of Russian player forces that have retreated to Vladivostok from all sides. With the help of the Yan army, in the end, there will only be two large Russian player forces in the Russian Far East principality: one is the Khabarovsk sphere of influence and the other is the Vladivostok sphere of influence.
And he will be the number one leader in Vladivostok's circle of influence, with more than 100,000 players under his command, an army of up to 2 or 3 million, and NPC farmers and craftsmen as many as tens of millions. When the Yan army was exhausted, and he fused the Russian army that had been defeated to Vladivostok into a new force, it was time for the Russian army to counterattack.
Hmph, a momentary rout, it's nothing.
Napoleon once fought to Moscow, but as a result, he couldn't eat and walked around, and he was defeated and retreated! Who in this world can defeat the Russians? Uh, except for Genghis Khan.
Vladimir looked at the military map of the Far East with a faint smile, pondering while listening to the various reports of his generals easily.
When he heard that there was an army of hundreds of heavy siege vehicles in the Yan army, and it was this siege vehicle that caused many Russian troops to rout all the way, his brows jumped suddenly, and he was secretly shocked, and said, "Oh, there is such a thing? The walls of my Vladivostok castle are so strong and thick that they cannot be broken by just a hundred heavy siege vehicles. However, it was prudent not to allow this army to get too close to the castle of Vladivostok, and it had to be eliminated before they reached Vladivostok. In this place, thirty miles away, an ambush was set up, and they were lured in, and then they were all killed. ”
Vladimir pointed to a basin on the map.
"Yes!"
His generals immediately received orders to deploy an ambush.
Vladimir was still a little uneasy, since the other side had hundreds of heavy siege vehicles, then soon there would be thousands, or even more, siege vehicles. Vladivostok Castle is certainly not afraid of hundreds of cars, but what about thousands?
He wasn't sure what he could eat.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, those damn Japanese players took so many benefits from their Russian players, but they were still grinding with the Koreans on Kyushu Island. If the Japanese attack Korea now, it will at least relieve him of half of the pressure. Japanese players must be urged to hurry up. Otherwise, if the Russian Far East is completely defeated, they will not have any benefit, and sooner or later they will not be able to eat and carry around.
