Chapter 266: Into the Enemy Territory
Dolan Province, Woniu County, this is the last remaining county of the Minotaur clan.
Augustus had received a message from Devran five days earlier, but due to the urgency of the situation, the messenger left too early, and did not know the subsequent battle, only the rout of the army on the Western Front.
At the same time, Augustus was instructed to return immediately.
Seeing that there is only one county left, and he can take all the provinces of Doran, how can Augustus be willing to retreat like this, considering that there are still more than two million garrisons in the province of Doro, which can block the advance of the Terrans.
Augustus decided to take Woniu County first, and then send back to help.
As a result, as soon as the battle began, the two armies fell into a stalemate, and the Minotaur clan stationed 3 million troops in Woniu County.
In Dolan Province, the Bear People also drew 3 million troops from the four eastern counties, but captured the counties of Dolan Province, and the remaining troops were reduced by more than 1 million, plus the soldiers who died in battle.
At present, Augustus only has a million troops in his hands, and facing an army of minotaurs three times his size, it is naturally not something that can be solved in just three or five days.
In Doluo Province, he couldn't wait for reinforcements from the bear people, so Zhang He decided to take the initiative.
However, instead of attacking Doro Province and the other five counties, he directly entered Dolan Province and fought against the main force of the Bearren Clan.
The Minotaur tribe is much larger than the Bear Race, and in a short period of time, even if the Han Dynasty captures the two major provinces, it does not have enough troops to suppress it.
With two months to go, the harsh winter will come again, and we must cut through the chaos quickly.
The Minotaur is invaded by the Bearren, and if the Han defeats the Bearren, the chances of surrendering the Minotaur will be greatly increased.
The main thing is to defeat the main force of the bear people, win this battle, and rectify the bear people in Doro Province.
Leaving the infantry army of the Eastern Legion, as well as the armies of various ethnic groups to guard the four counties, Zhang He led Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, a total of 250,000 cavalry, and rushed to Dolan Province.
Lin Yi and Wang Yue also went together.
The name Augustus, Lin Yi has heard more than once, when the title is ranked, it is known as the first title level of the Eastern Wilderness, the advanced holy knight, and the strength is even soaring, faintly meaning the first master of the Eastern Wilderness.
Lin Yi was afraid that Zhang He would not be able to clean up Auguste, Wang Yue's strength, even in the face of the lower gods who condensed the godhead, he could fight, and it would be safer to have his help.
After all, this is deep into the enemy territory, 250,000 against millions of enemies, and it is difficult to say whether the Minotaur clan is friend or foe.
The counties of Dora Province are in the shape of a shuttle, and the first county of Waran Province to enter Dora Province is Yuansan County, and to the east, north and south counties are Jangsan County and Quicksa County.
After the two counties and then to the east, the east of Yuanshan County is Yeshui County, Yeshui County is further east, the north and south counties are Purple Flag County and Blue Flag County, and then east after the two counties, the east of Yeshui County is Feixiong County, the capital of the bear people, and Feixiong County is located here.
Further east, the north and south counties are Black Flag County and White Flag County.
Passing through the southeast of White Flag County, you can drive straight into Dolan Province.
However, when the army passed by Feixiong County, Zhang He encountered an old opponent.
Devran's youngest son, Okakin, has not been seen for half a year, and Okakin has also stepped into the ranks of the title ranks.
There are still a lot of troops stationed in Flying Bear County, and Okajin estimated that he had arranged a scout in advance, learned of the movements of the Terrans, and sent a large army to block it.
100,000 knights, 500,000 bear people's army, the strength is really not weak.
It's a pity that Zhang He didn't plan to fight him, so he just took the army around and left.
In the center of the army, Okajin watched the Terran cavalry go away, and his eyes flashed with a faint light.
"Little young master, big young master, there won't be any accidents, I don't think the human race wants to collect the four eastern counties." Matthew said worriedly.
"Our clan and the Minotaur are millions of battles, and more than 200,000 cavalry can't change the situation of the war." Okakin was silent for a moment before speaking.
Although Okajin said this, he had to admit in his heart that the growth rate of the human race was terrifying.
In the battle of Xieling County, the strength of the human race, in Okakin's opinion, is not enough.
It's only been half a year, and the Terrans are like crazy, and they actually defeated the Lion Clans in Ziluo Province, and they pursued all the way, waving their troops into Nanluo Province, and killing the Lion Clan.
The situation in the province of Nanluo is different from that of the province of Dora, the lion people themselves have invaded other people's territory, and before they can stabilize it, the Terrans launched a major attack.
Nearly two million troops, eight Divine Ranks, more than 20 Title Ranks, such a strong strength, but once again defeated by the Terrans, this defeat completely made the Lion Clan unable to get up.
When Oka got the news, he secretly rejoiced that fortunately, the bear tribe did not encounter the Terran army to conquer the south, and as a result, the Terran army to conquer the east broke the western defense line in one fell swoop.
Diffran's news, Okaquin actually knew, but did not dare to publicize it, he was waiting for Augustus to come back.
Okaquin knew what Augustus thought, and also supported his decision, cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, and the wind blew and reborn, and the bear people paid such a heavy price to get the province of Dolan.
At this time, the army returned to help, and once the Minotaur clan regained its breath, it was bound to regain the lost territory, and the main line of the Minotaur clan must be completely destroyed.
The war with the Terrans cannot end in a short period of time, this is not just a matter of territory, the Minotaur clan is relieved, and there is a high probability that they will unite with the Terrans to deal with the Bear Clan.
"Little master, should we take advantage of the situation to counterattack?" Matthew suggested.
With the withdrawal of 250,000 cavalry, the overall strength of the Terrans will definitely be greatly reduced, and it is a good time to regain the lost territory.
"For the time being, let's hold the troops, and also, mobilize all the remaining troops of the four eastern counties to Flying Bear City." Okakin raised his hand to negate Matthew's proposal as he ordered.
"In the four eastern counties, the remaining troops are only enough to barely maintain daily order, and if all the troops are transferred, I am afraid it will cause turmoil among the people of the four counties." Matthew reminded Okakin.
The three million troops attacking Dolan Province were basically drawn from the four eastern counties, and at present, the garrisons in the four eastern counties are less than one million in total.
Transferring so many troops to Flying Bear City at once will also put a lot of pressure on Flying Bear City's food stockpile.
"At this time, if the Terrans send troops, the garrisons of the four eastern counties will become the pockets of the Terrans, so it is better to concentrate in Flying Bear City, and they can compete with the Terrans." Okakin explained the worst-case scenario to Matthew.
The four western counties, not counting Yuanshan County, also have an army of 2 million, but at present, excluding Changshan County and Liusha County, each has 500,000 troops that cannot be defended, and the remaining garrisons in various places are either captured or surrendered.
The lessons of the past are vivid.
