Chapter 330: Half a Month Situation
The screams before death, the desperate shouts, the sound of the tip of the knife piercing into the human body, the sound of the human body being thrown to the ground, countless voices came into the ears of the empress, and she seemed to have never heard it.
At this time, she was sitting on a horse, her hair in a bun that she didn't know when to untie and fall down, and a green silk sprinkled behind her like a waterfall.
Around the horses were corpses.
The corpse of one of the middle-aged generals with angry eyes and iron armor was the general of the 25,000 army, but his identity did not help at this time, but became the cause of his death.
The commander of Great Xia was dead, and the army began to rout, but the speed of running was far less than the speed of the flying horse, and when it was found that no matter who stood in front of him, it would be difficult to escape death, and if he fled to both sides, no one would pay attention, so he fled quickly to both sides, and the battlefield was chaotic.
The Gu clan bit off a large piece of the army formation formed by the 25,000-strong army, and the others fled to both sides.
"Your Majesty!" countless warriors covered in blood stopped in front of the empress and lined up again.
"Forward. The empress turned her head to look into the distance, her voice cold.
The flying cavalry rushed towards the 10,000 soldiers outside the east gate of Liao City like a wave, and they almost had just received the news that they had sorted out the team's attack on the flying cavalry.
"Listen, what is the sound?" Liao Chengcheng's head was covered with blood, and he didn't even bother to clean up the minced meat on his face, but the soldiers and civilians of Liao Cheng, who were just leaning against the wall and closing their eyes and taking time to rest, opened their eyes one by one and asked.
"It's reinforcements!" someone shouted.
"Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!" When everyone heard the news, they immediately perked up, and they got up from the ground and leaned against the city wall to look outside.
"Too little!" Someone was first disappointed when he saw the number of reinforcements in the distance, more than a thousand people were indeed too few. You must know that there are nearly 100,000 Great Xia Jun surrounding Liao City, and even if these more than 1,000 people rush into the city, it will have a much greater effect than fighting a bloody battle outside.
But as soon as the thought swirled in his mind, someone shouted excitedly, "It's the flying horse! It's the flying horse!"
Although there are only more than 1,000 flying cavalry, their strength is comparable to an ancient army of 10,000 people.
It's not just that, it's also about flying.
Flying here, did Your Majesty come?
The people on the city wall looked around, and soon saw a red dress coming slowly behind them.
"Is that Your Majesty?" Many people just saw the red dot in the distance, but they couldn't see who it was, but they just guessed that it was Your Majesty.
After all, those flying horses had already killed an army of 10,000, and a red figure was slowly following behind, and no one else except His Majesty could not think of it.
"Your Majesty is here with a flying horse!" the cry gradually spread from the east gate to the middle of the city, to the north and to the west, and the whole city fell into ecstasy.
A general in leather armor hurried to the city wall of the East Gate, holding a telescope in his hand and looking in that direction, with a look of ecstasy on his face: "It's really Your Majesty!"
At this time, he had an impulse in his heart, and immediately rushed out with someone who could still move.
Lao Tzu has also fought side by side with His Majesty in the future!
However, when I glanced around, I saw the deep exhaustion under the ecstasy on everyone's faces, and I still suppressed this thought to the bottom of my heart.
When the empress and the flying cavalry swallowed most of the 10,000 army, and only a few two or three thousand people fled, the empress turned her head to look at the blood-stained city wall, and continued to say coldly: "Forward!"
When the empress and the flying cavalry arrived in the north of Liaocheng, they could see that the Great Xia army was slowly retreating, and there was a speed bump of hundreds of meters between the two sides, covered with thistles.
More than 1,000 flying cavalry and 5,000 ancient troops in the west of Liaocheng who were fighting fiercely with the Xia army made Great Xia, who had already lost more than 20,000 troops before and had just been scattered more than 30,000 troops, take the initiative to retreat.
That night, the empress took the flying horse to join Li Qianqiu's army in Liao City.
The loss of flying cavalry was only a dozen, and only 4,000 of the 5,000 people of Li Qianqiu's Central Metropolitan Protector Army remained.
Great Xia only withdrew more than 40,000 people, and then gathered the remnants of the army to nearly 70,000, and 30,000 Xia troops were killed in battle.
Also on this day, the Xia army in the direction of Yusheng City continued to march towards the depths of Dayao, and two days later, 200,000 reinforcements from Great Xia crossed Ziyue City and approached Liaocheng.
At the same time as the reinforcements of Great Xia, the 5,000 Army of the Southern Protectorate set out in the direction of Lancheng, preparing to intercept the more than 80,000 Xia troops marching inland from Yusheng City to Dayao.
At this time, Great Xia had already invested 700,000 troops, of which the first 500,000 troops were 200,000 besieging Tiesuo Pass and Shuncheng's 20,000 Northern Protectorate Army, and the remaining 300,000 were only left with more than 80,000 troops in the direction of Yusheng City and 70,000 troops outside Liao City, a total of 150,000, as well as an unknown number of Great Xia Sect warriors.
According to the estimation of the Northern Protectorate these days, it should be around 10,000, of which the lowest strength is at the level of the human wheel, and there are many masters of the strength of the earth wheel, even if they are not as strong as the ancient warriors of the same strength, but the combat power of the two sides has been greatly reduced.
Unless they encounter the elite of the flying horse, they can cause considerable damage to most of the ancient army, especially if they are mixed in with the ordinary Xia army, and suddenly appear in the form of a small team when the battle is entangled, the threat is especially great.
In just half a month after the start of the war, 150,000 troops were lost, and the war in this world was more cruel and bloody than Ren Baqian had known.
After all, the lethality of those masters is too great, far beyond the ordinary people of the earth. Ordinary people may not be able to lift their arms for a quarter of an hour, but for a martial artist with the strength of the human wheel, he can swing the knife for an hour, and the strength of the earth wheel will not feel too tired even if he slashes for half a day.
On the Gu side, only 22,000 of the 30,000 troops in the northern Protectorate remained, 4,000 of the 8,000 reinforcements from the Central Protectorate remained, and more than 10,000 civilian casualties in Ziyue, Liaocheng, and Yushengcheng.
Ren Baqian listened to the communication of the front line on the radio every day, while taking notes on the current battle loss ratio. Excluding the killings of the flying horses, the current battle loss ratio between Da Yao and Da Xia is 1:10, if you want to count the damage of those ancient civilians with considerable combat power, it should be within 1:10, or even reach the point of 1:5.
Such a battle loss ratio is acceptable for Great Xia, but it is unacceptable for Great Yao.
You must know that there are still 550,000 troops in Great Xia, and the only thing that the ancient clan can use at present is the 22,000 troops of the Northern Protectorate plus the remaining 4,000 reinforcements from the Central Protectorate, and the 5,000 reinforcements sent by the Southern Protectorate, a total of 31,000, even if the flying cavalry is used as an army of 10,000, it is only in the early 40,000s.
And the confidence of Great Xia is not only in this 700,000 army, but also in the 500,000 new army that is being prepared in the rear.
As for Da Yao, it was 20,000 new troops, and another 20,000 new recruits were being recruited.
If the battle loss is 1:10, the gap between the forces of the two sides will become wider and wider.
Ren Baqian also discovered for the first time that there was such a thing as having obviously one-tenth of the enemy's own damage, but his own losses were even heavier than the other party's.
Ren Baqian touched the back of his head for a long time, and asked on the radio full of doubts: "The Xia army in the direction of Yusheng City is advancing towards the interior of Dayao, how do they replenish the grain and grass?
