Chapter 904 was unexpected
On March 6, 3019 in the continental calendar, the day after Operation Crystal Pegasus began, General Sully finally ordered the entire army to retreat and break out separately. However, he himself led a small number of troops to hold on, and some loyal soldiers who disobeyed this military order also remained. By the end, almost all of them were killed.
On the same day, it was discovered that the battle situation had changed abruptly, and the steppe barbarians also attacked with their whole army under the order of the barbarian king Hu Lei. On the one hand, it is necessary to block as many people and materials as possible from withdrawing from those personnel and materials, and on the other hand, it is necessary to mobilize the surrounding troops to encircle the troops of Dipu with the city of Pattaya as the center, hoping to inflict heavy losses and eliminate this last threat.
On 7 March, a second force of steppe barbarians intercepted a small town in front of the Dipp troops, and they did not dare to go out of the town again, hoping to hold on and delay time. Unexpectedly, Dipu gave the order: the whole army marched around the town. and crushed a small town of nearly 1,000 steppe barbarian interception troops. The interception failed again. At this time, Tipu was only less than two hundred miles away from the city of Pattaya, and the troops of the surrounding steppe barbarians were all frightened, and they accelerated and chased in the direction of Dip.
At noon on the same day, Dipu ordered to stop the advance and rest in place for an hourglass time.
After an hourglass, Dipu suddenly gave the order to turn around and move eastward, advancing at full speed. This order caused an uproar in the whole army and caused considerable dissent. But at the insistence of Dipu, and because these were very professional soldiers, they finally chose to obey orders.
At dusk, the troops were met by an enemy force of nearly 10,000 men who followed them, and the unprepared enemy army was crushed, but the victory was still effortless. And Dipu's sudden turn was also completely unexpected by the steppe barbarians. With the rout of the trailing army. was smoothly jumped out of the encirclement by Dipp.
In fact, Dipu's sudden change of action not only surprised his subordinates. It also caught the steppe barbarians off guard. As a gathering point for supplies, the city of Pattaya must have been well defended. And Dip's troops are not invisible. I know more or less about their movements. Otherwise, there would not have been a night attack on them by steppe barbarians. So for the raid on Dipu, the steppe barbarians had a certain amount of preparation.
And Dipu's rapid advance into the city of Pattaya was actually quite risky. If you are unlucky, you may not touch the city wall before you are completely wiped out by the grassland barbarians who have come to the encirclement. Even if luck had been blown away and the supplies in the city of Pattaya had been burned, Dip's forces would have suffered heavy casualties. However, this turn of Dipu broke the assumptions of the steppe barbarians. And the troops of the steppe barbarians were completely mobilized. Pulled out a huge gap.
Beginning on 8 March, in the following 12 days, Dipu swept all the way, sweeping nearly 2,000 miles from west to east, fighting 15 battles large and small, destroying a total of more than 4,000 enemies, while his own casualties were less than 200. Although the number of enemies destroyed was not very large, this army that seemed to have gone crazy put great pressure on the steppe barbarians.
On March 20, Dipu gave another order. Another gorgeous big turnaround, starting a hurricane from east to west. Two days later, it suddenly turned north. This nervous force has made the steppe barbarians unpredictable. As a result, the steppe barbarians have been stationed in the towns that have been taken, wanting to preserve the fruits of victory first. I didn't expect it on the 24th. The force suddenly slowed down and began a slow retreat. Shocked, this force gradually disappeared from the sight of the steppe barbarians.

"A great victory. "The streets of St. Louis haven't been so lively in a long time. All the major newspapers in the imperial capital today published a special issue of "Outside" to celebrate the first great victory of the human alliance.
Gloria stops a galloping newsboy. grabbed a stack of newspapers and motioned for the maid behind him to pay. Then he walked into his carriage very ladylikely. Unhurriedly, he returned to his own marshal's palace.
As soon as he entered the marshal's mansion, as soon as he jumped out of the carriage, the disguised lady appearance disappeared. Gloria Yang held the newspaper in her hand, and her little face turned red with excitement: "Sister Phoenix, Sister Dragon!
Hearing Gloria's shouts, Zhu Yun, Dan Yun, and Miga all walked out with smiles on their faces. These people are also very happy about the victory of the human alliance, but the bigger reason is that they also love Gloria's little sister.
Mika took the newspaper with a smile and glanced at it roughly, but his face immediately became gloomy: "Why is that soul faint again? Leah, he must have falsely reported his military exploits and sold his reputation." We sisters must unite and resolutely ignore him. โ
"Huh?" Gloria said thoughtfully, then chuckled, "Sister Dragon......! That's right, that's what you say, scolding is love?"
"Bah!" Mika took a few sips and smiled. She rolled her eyes and began to be bad, "Don't tell anyone else, giggles, it's actually Aunt Dan's heart......"
"Yes, actually...... I confess, it's my sister, my sister...... Eh, I don't dare anymore, giggle!" Dan Yun also made a fool of himself.
The four girls walked into the house and started giggling. In the end, they all pointed the finger at Gloria, who was the first to provoke the incident: "I think Lia's heart is budding." Little sister has grown up, huh?"
"That's it, it's a little bit of a skill, no wonder. Let the marshal come forward quickly and drive all the women around him away!"
"Giggle......
Gloria's face was flushed with shame. She covered her ears: "I'm not coming! My sisters are bullying Leah, I'm not coming! Actually, Lia cares about my brother." My brother is over there, too!"
"By the way, let's not laugh at us. Giggleโโ!"
"I'm not coming!"
Finally tired of making trouble. Gloria's eyes rolled slyly, and she finally said her thoughts: "Sister Phoenix, Sister Dragon! We are also very powerful, why can't we go over and help my brother and them?"
Zhu Yun was still more mature, and was silent for a while, "Does the marshal know?"
"Of course you can't let the old stubborn know. But Leah was ready. Hee-hee-hee!"
Micha is also a character who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic: "I think ...... Yes!"
"Then let's discuss ......"
......
The report of Tipp's battle returned to the Imperial Military Headquarters and immediately caused a sensation throughout the Empire. Although the results were not very large, the first victory was of great publicity significance. And the effect of this propaganda is also excellent, and the confidence of the whole human race is also greatly boosted. Of course, this also has sequelae, for example, the four girls who are preparing to leave home...... (To be continued.) )
