Chapter 1068: Pursuit

For two days, the troops of the Coastal Province were not idle, and under the joint planning of Chris and the Imperial Staff Officers, a fairly complete interception plan was formulated.

This plan is said to be an interception, but in fact, the ultimate goal is to leave all the coalition forces behind, which can also be said to be an annihilation plan. Chris and the others' plan is very bold, because even if a coalition force of more than 100,000 people is trapped in Hengduan Canyon, the main force of the coalition still has more than 300,000 troops.

As for the Lutz Empire, Wang Yong did not let them participate in this encirclement and annihilation war, firstly, because the Lutz Empire had just expanded a large amount of territory, and there were not many troops to be deployed, and secondly, after discussion, Wang Yong, Stephanie and others decided to let Nathaniel's Lutz Empire not expose the news of the alliance between the three kingdoms for the time being, remain neutral in front of the world, and secretly develop at the same time, but also see if they can find out the true attitude of other countries.

Three hours after the coalition forces started, Ryan appeared at the logistics base of the original coalition army with 50,000 light cavalry, looking at the traces left by the coalition forces on the ground, Ryan lightly ordered: "The troops set off, and strive to catch up with the coalition troops at noon." ”

The herald received the order loudly, and just as he was about to leave, Ryan continued: "By the way, tell officers and soldiers at all levels that the military merit system of our coastal province is not a decoration, if you want to get ahead, if you want to live a better life, give me courage when you encounter the enemy." After the herald received the order loudly, he turned around and conveyed Lane's order to the various troops, and then under the command of the Chinese army, the 50,000 personal soldiers slowly accelerated and pursued the coalition army.

Fifteen miles north and south of Ryan's central army, the two 10,000-strong cavalry corps on the two flanks saw the signal and set off first. Their mission was to outflank and divide the coalition's rear forces, and then annihilate them when Ryan's main force arrived.

As for the other mission of the vanguard troops on both wings to spy on the enemy and deploy defenses, at this time it has been completely handed over to more than a dozen Thunder Eagles, and more than 100 trainee intelligence personnel of the black hand intelligence department, plus the scouts and scouts in the troops, every move of the coalition forces cannot escape their eyes, and it is impossible to make any tricks under the surveillance of so many people.

At the same time, on the border between the provinces of Barron and Chel, east of the seaside province, Kevin was busy building fortifications with 50,000 city defenders and 30,000 royal cavalry of the Al Empire and 30,000 royal cavalry of the Lawson Empire. They chose to stop the coalition vanguard at the end of the mountain road to the east. The 10,000 coalition troops who originally stayed here basically did not resist, but now most of them have temporarily become coolies, being commanded by soldiers on the seashore to dig various traps and tunnels.

Ryan led his troops in pursuit all the way, and finally saw the figure of the coalition army at noon, Ryan did not immediately order the attack, but ordered the troops to regroup and keep the formation and follow, and after following the coalition army for almost an hour, the restlessness of the coalition army began to gradually become chaotic. Ryan finally gave the order.

First of all, the two light cavalry regiments on the left and right flanks, which were already almost in line with the coalition rear troops, launched a long-held attack, with Kra on the north side and Danny on the south flank commanding the troops to attack the rear of the coalition troops.

The coalition forces numbered more than 70,000 men. The ratio of cavalry to infantry was equal to half, and when they spotted the pursuing force on the seashore, they began to speed up, trying to get closer to the main force of the coalition twenty miles ahead. However, they had more than 30,000 infantry, and the coalition forces had used most of their horses. There were basically no infantry left, so their pursuit was in vain, and they could only watch the main forces go farther and farther.

Speaking of which, you should have already guessed the country of this rear force, yes, they are the troops of the Lacey Empire, the Roy Kingdom and the Scott Empire in the coalition army.

The generals who led the team were very resentful when they received the task behind the mat, but they also knew that if they wanted to go back alive, they had to carry out the order, otherwise, they would have to die under the iron hooves of those 'comrades-in-arms' before without the help of the seaside province.

The Lacey Empire, the Roy Kingdom and the Scott Empire participated in the coalition army with a total of 120,000 troops, in addition to the 70,000 troops left behind, the remaining 60,000 were sent to the front by the high level of the coalition army, acting as the vanguard of the path, and they would encounter the resistance of Kevin's front army in the evening.

In the face of the 70,000 cannon fodder that the coalition army used as an outcast to delay time, Ryan was not careless, and still fought steadily, ordering Cara and Danny to divide it and leave only half of it, and let the other half of the centaurs leave, waiting for the next time to clean up, so that they will reduce a lot of losses, and bullying the widow with the crowd is also the favorite thing for Ryan or Seashore to do.

After receiving the order to attack, Kra and Danny roared and rode the ironclad rhinoceros to lead the charge towards the rear of the coalition army, and their personal guards followed closely behind, protecting them to their left and right, and in just a few minutes, the entire legion turned into a triangular charge formation in the gallop.

When they were panting and found the two cavalry rushing from the left and right flanks, these soldiers and officers who had just suffered the blow of the country completed the defense of Jiadan for the first time, and the cavalry who lost their horses erected tall shields on the left and right sides of the troops, and the spears stretched out from the gaps in the shields and held them diagonally to the sky, forming a gun forest to resist the impact of the cavalry.

And the cavalrymen who had horses, very righteous, did not leave alone, but quickly formed a formation under the command of the officer, ready to hedge against the enemy. Because they knew very well that even if they escaped, although they could survive temporarily, it would only be temporary, and the pursuing forces of the Seaside Province would not let go of their abandoned troops.

In fact, those officers did not think about surrendering, but in that case, most of them would become slaves, and in that case, they would not have much possibility to return to their own countries in their lives to see if their families were still alive and whether they were doing well, so after several secret discussions, the soldiers and officers of the three countries reached an agreement, that is, to fight to the death, because they did not want to become slaves, because they still had concerns in their hearts.
