In the year 802 of the Guangming calendar, the first day of the new year.

The remnants of Locke's army, who had been trapped in the Yanghui Forest for more than a month, suddenly came out and frantically attacked the checkpoints set up by the Sea Clan on the outskirts of the forest.

With the cooperation of 10,000 Norman soldiers, the 5,000 Sea Clan warriors relied on the fortifications to withstand the attack of nearly 50,000 Locke warriors, blocking their way out of the predicament.

The cavalry regiments of the Isaac Kingdom also chose to attack on the same day, and one cavalry regiment after another launched an assault from behind the Sea Clan army.

No matter how strong the Sea Clan warriors were, they couldn't withstand several times the strength of the Terrans and the enemy on their backs, and the checkpoint was breached, and a large number of Sea Clan warriors died on the spot. In contrast, the Norman army, which was an auxiliary force, many of the fighters simply chose to surrender.

After Isaac's army rescued the remnants of Locke's army, they only took a short rest and marched towards the border between Isaac and Locke. After the integration of the forces of the two countries, it reached more than 100,000 people, and the army marched towards the southwest, trying to break through the return channel blocked by the Sea Clan in one fell swoop.

This is the strategy set by Streich, to gather all the forces of Locke and Isaac into a powerful fist to break the Sea Clan blockade in one fell swoop.

On the battlefield, the strategy of the sea clan's handsome shark tiger is not below the human race. The Terran army had only marched 200 miles before it was sniped head-on by the Sea Clan army at Heluochuan.

The Sea Clan army came prepared, and only 50,000 troops ate the 100,000 allied troops of the Terran Race to death, and they were constantly retreating by the impact of the Sea Clan army.

When the Terran coalition was about to turn and retreat, the third legion of the Norman kingdom came up from behind, and the Norman army also had 10,000 sea troops as the vanguard. With the 10,000 Sea Clan troops in front of the main force, the combined forces of Locke and Isaac were unable to break through from the Norman side.

This is naturally a trap laid by the Sea Clan, taking this opportunity to lure the remnants of Locke out of the Yanghui Forest, and at the same time wipe out the Isaac cavalry that broke into Locke's territory, and completely solve all the hidden dangers in the area occupied by the Sea Clan in one battle.

The Sea Clan's plan is not complicated, but it is a plan after guessing the Terran plan, and the only unexpected thing is that the Sea Clan chose the location of the ambush, Heluochuan. Although the Heluochuan River is also the terrain of two mountains and one river, there are only low peaks on both sides, and the river in the middle is also extremely open, and the ambushed army cannot occupy any terrain advantage at all, and because of the open terrain of the river, the battle line will be very long.

But it was precisely because of this unexpected place that the Sea Clan army was able to take advantage of the negligence of the Terran coalition to block the two coalition forces in Sichuan. The Sea Clan army does not rely on geographical advantages and numerical advantages, and intends to use its own super combat power to strengthen the Terran army.

At the beginning of the battle, it was completely according to the expectations of the Sea Clan, successfully blocking the Terran coalition army in the river, and launched an attack from both sides at the same time.

The Terran army knew that after being besieged, they all began to fight desperately, and the battlefield was extremely fierce, and the Terran made full use of the open terrain and rocky layers in the river to establish a defensive line, and fought to the death against the Sea Clan.

The battle lasted from afternoon to night, and the Terran coalition army still insisted on resisting after nearly 20,000 dead and wounded, and the Sea Clan would never be able to easily annihilate this Terran coalition army without paying a painful enough price.

After nightfall, the Sea Clan army took the initiative to stop the attack, and the night would make the Sea Clan warriors lose the advantage of being strong in individual combat. More importantly, because of the desperate resistance of the Terran warriors, the deputy commander of the Sea Clan, who commanded the siege, had a trace of hesitation.

The first batch of 600,000 Sea Clan troops landed in recent months, more than 200,000 people have been killed, unlike the Terran army can quickly replenish troops, before the second batch of reinforcements landed, every Sea Clan soldier is a valuable combat force, too large battle losses will seriously affect the follow-up strategic layout.

It was Murrow's hesitation that gave the Terran army a chance to breathe.

......

Twenty miles north of Heluochuan, within a mountain col.

The mercenaries of the Blue Enchantress are resting here for a while. Because of Arthur's deliberate delaying tactics, the Blue Enchantress Cavalry escaped the disaster.

Arthur and other core members of the mercenary group were sitting around a bonfire, the atmosphere was a little depressing, although they escaped a catastrophe, but the 100,000-strong army was surrounded, and they still couldn't stay out of it.

"Let's talk about the rescue. As soon as Arthur spoke, he set the course of his action.

The few little mercenary leaders present looked at each other for a moment, but no one dared to speak.

Joan muttered dissatisfiedly, "How can we save it, we are less than a thousand people, do we touch stones with eggs?"

"Of course, hard work can't be done, so I discussed a solution with everyone. ”

"Under the absolute strength gap, any strategy is useless, I advise you to die of this heart. Joan continued to pour cold water.

Everyone present, Aretha is too lazy to take care of the chores in the group, Huey never expresses his opinion, and the few little mercenary captains consciously bow their heads and no one takes the lead to stand up, since the start of the war, the actions of the cavalry regiment are basically decided by Arthur and Joan, and this time the two rarely have no way to agree on their opinions.

Aretha stretched and chuckled: "You two little guys, don't fight, if you want to save those soldiers who are surrounded from the predicament, it will definitely not be possible to rely on us alone, you must rely on external forces, otherwise you will be sent to death." ”

"External forces?" Arthur frowned, his mind quickly filtering through what forces he could use.

"Don't think about it, whether you bring Spence or Sharyn in, you're going to have a limited role on this battlefield. "Aretha even hit Arthur.

Arthur had a bitter face, "Master, you mean the same as Joan, we can only stand by and watch?"

Aretha smiled: "I didn't let you sit by and stand by, I just told you that the road with the help of manpower will not work." ”

Arthur was almost crying, "There is no man to borrow, we can't really take everyone to death, right?"

"There's more to this world than just manpower, don't forget the name of the place they're trapped in?" Aretha nodded.

Joan reacted before Arthur, "Heluochuan, I see, you want to borrow the power of nature!"

"Joan is still smarter, and no matter how strong the manpower is, it is not worth mentioning under the power of heaven and earth. When I was young, I visited this area, and the Heluo River was originally rushed out of the Muddy River when the river burst. ”

Arthur also reacted, "Shi Niang means that he plans to attack with water?"

"Since the Muddy River has broken through in history, we will use manpower to make it fight again. ”

Arthur still had a hint of doubt, "It's just that the trapped Terran army is also on the river, and won't they have to be buried together under the flood?"

Aretha explains: "The terrain on both sides of the river is not dangerous, as long as they are not in the middle of the river, they can hide a little higher to avoid the flood. ”

Arthur nodded thoughtfully, "It looks like we're going to split up this time." ”
