Chapter 187: Retreat Plan
When the locusts and the soldiers of the 958th Regiment were ecstatic, Lu Haoyu stopped everyone's actions in time, they were deep in the battlefield, the war was far from over, cheer now, it was too early, and it was not really through the danger zone yet, once the strong crossbow corps of the imperial army eased up, they would continue to fall into a situation of passive shooting.
Therefore, Lu Haoyu directly issued the order to attack, and the army of hundreds of millions of locusts was almost crushed to deal with hundreds of thousands of strong crossbow corps that were seriously injured and did not recover their offensive ability in a short period of time.
Even so, the enemy could not stop the trampling of the locust army, but at this time, the main force of the 28th Army's ace division came to kill, and they were the main force that had not been affected by the bombs in the church.
This time, more than 5 million enemy troops entered the battle, and 5 million well-trained and well-equipped imperial troops faced hundreds of millions of strong locusts, and the battlefield was once again in a state of anxiety.
Fortunately, the enemy's crossbow corps was completely crushed, otherwise the enemy's long-range strength in a major battle would have dealt a fatal blow to the locust army.
Lu Haoyu was anxious at this time, because he got the news from the underground earth spirit baby, not far away, in addition to the 28th Division's ace division, at least four divisions were moving closer to the battlefield.
When Lu Haoyu heard the news, he secretly wiped a cold sweat, the four legions, that is, 40 million troops, now less than 6 million ace divisions and regiments are almost equal to the locust army, and if there are another 40 million, the locust army will definitely collapse.
However, the time in the battlefield is limited, and it is impossible for the earth spirit baby to create a large number of compression bombs in a very short time, and where to go now, Lu Haoyu is at an extreme crossroads.
Fortunately, his mind was not messed up, and the calculation level 1 of the essence of science and technology was turned on again, and after a short calculation, "terrain" was the only advantage that could be used.
"Scatter around, and show me the terrain." Lu Haoyu seemed to have discovered a new continent, and gave the earth spirit baby a task as soon as possible to explore the terrain around.
Fortunately, he has a baby earth spirit, these elves are like his own eyes, through the ultra-high speed of running underground and the ultra-high sensitivity to the soil, he can make a clear understanding of the deployment of the enemy army on the periphery of the battlefield, so that he can make moves in advance to resolve the crisis.
The earth spirit baby lived up to his expectations, and provided all the information of the investigation to Lu Haoyu before the main support force of the imperial army arrived.
Directly ahead was the base camp of the Third Army, from where the enemy slowed down the arrival of the army, and it was necessary to move to the battlefield and absolutely not continue to attack.
Hearing this news, Lu Haoyu regretted it too much, if he had let the earth spirit baby explore all the terrain earlier, maybe he would not have fallen into the enemy's encirclement.
On the left side is the hilly area, with high mountains and tall mountains, which is the best way for the locust army to retreat, because the locusts mainly jump, and climbing the mountain is at least much less labor-saving than small soldiers, and can quickly leave the main enemy army behind, and there is no enemy army stationed there.
If it was just these, maybe Lu Haoyu would have ordered the army to retreat to the left, but then the earth spirit baby reported another major influencing factor, in this hilly area, a large amount of chemical solvents were sprayed, and the earth spirit baby was transmitted by Lu Haoyu's mind, and completely mastered the chemistry level 1, after a simple analysis, Lu Haoyu knew that this was a pesticide similar to an insecticidal solvent, if the locust army escaped from here, then the only result was that the locust army was all poisoned to death.
What a vicious strategy, weren't the locusts cultivated by the Third Legion? Now that the mission period is over, they are ready to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so ruthless.
The left side could not be walked, and on the right side was the plain, where the 1st and 3rd Corps met. If there is a retreat from here, then it may attract the attention of both the First and Third Armies, and although there is a great danger, there is also a part of the opportunity.
He was just about to turn the direction of the attack of the locust army and aim the spearhead at the right, at this time, he saw the news from the earth spirit baby that there were a large number of imperial troops stationed on the right, which was an important garrison checkpoint in Luojing City, of which the Third Army had the total strength of one legion, and the First Army only had the strength of four divisions.
What a big disparity, a legion is 100 million imperial soldiers.
The Third Army seemed to have been prepared, and at this time Lu Haoyu remembered the conspiracy of the Third Corps before, they took a lot of effort, and their ultimate goal was to cause contradictions between the First Army and the church, and then let the church's spearhead be pointed at the First Army, so as to take the opportunity to attack the First Army and create greater chaos in Luojing, and then the troops pressed the border, so that Luo Wenbo, the commander of the Luojing Division, handed over all the military power and belonged to the imperial government.
Lu Haoyu hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the plan to retreat to the right, because no matter whether the four divisions of the First Army stationed there would come to the aid of the locust army, the results they faced would be very bad.
If the First Army had helped the Locust Army because of the presence of the 958th Regiment, then the Third Army would have seized the handle of collusion with the Locusts and found a pretext for war against the First Army, and the enemy would be justified and would be able to use the slogan of aiding the Church.
If the First Army had not discovered the 958th Regiment and fought against the locust army together with the First Army, a total of 14 divisions and regiments, with a total strength of 140,000, it would definitely be possible to completely wipe out the locust army in a short period of time.
Not on three sides, then only retreat, what exactly is in the rear? After bypassing the church, the earth spirit baby finally sent the results of the topographic survey, and behind it was a body of water, as far as the eye could see.
After Lu Haoyu heard the news, he was dumbfounded, can locusts swim? I don't know, this needs to find a few locusts to communicate, but how long the water is, the earth spirit baby can't continue to detect, because they are not good at swimming, at least they haven't entered professional training, it seems that when they are idle in the future, it is necessary to let the water spirit do swimming training for the nine earth spirit babies in the dantian space.
The battle ahead is still going on tragically, and the casualties of the locust army are increasing, after all, the locusts do not have any cultivation, although they are strong and strong, but they are fighting against the well-cultivated and well-trained imperial army, and they will definitely suffer if they last for a long time.
Lu Haoyu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly caught a few locusts to ask them if they were watery and whether they could cross the river safely.
It's a pity that this question stumped the locusts, they were born on land, they have never been in contact with water at all, can they cross the big rivers, whether they can be watery, whether they can survive in the water, no locusts can answer Lu Haoyu, I asked a few locusts in a row, all of them are like this, and I can't find a real answer.
