The weather at the border of Martin Liya was not too hot at the end of July. Standing on a slope, out of sight is a lake of sizes covered with the earth like scattered lenses. It is endless, and the sight is wide and refreshing. No one will I thought that just half a month ago, this place was still a dry land full of yellow sand. With the rainy season coming, this place is already full of vitality
An imperial guard came galloping from a distance, stopped the horse ten meters away from the emperor, jumped off the horse agilely, and ran behind the emperor with a respectful expression. The red report said in a condensed voice, "Your Majesty, this is just coming back from the Irun Valley."
"Iron Valley's got it!"
The emperor glanced at the battle report in the guard's hand, took it with one hand, and opened it. With his eyes on the content, the black pupils lighted up, turning his head to the imperial general Salton behind him, smiling and saying, "Unexpectedly Duo Weiyan's luck was so good that she met a rookie on the battlefield, fighting against the prairie archers, and even arranged the battlefield in the water network zone. He didn't know whether to say he was too dead or to say it was God. Also standing on the side of Duoweiyan, 30,000 Xiting cavalry won the Battle of Biyayan City, and severely damaged the main force of the Martin Liya army in the Irun Valley of 70,000, beheaded more than 13,000 and captured more than 20,000. Martin was crippled. During the collapse and escape of the 30,000 soldiers, they were killed by the Xiting cavalry all the way. The corpses were everywhere. In the end, there were only more than 10,000 Martin Liya people who arrived in another city of Cananeiro’s family alive. Five thousand cavalry frightened the opponent, and the other Xiting armies were trying their best to attack other cities in the Irun Valley. I believe that soon, the Irun Valley can be taken."
"Congratulations, your majesty, for taking the Irun Valley!"
Salton, wearing the uniform of a black empire general, said with excitement, as the general of the empire’s rear general staff, even if he hadn’t personally explained it, he wouldn’t have thought that the layout of this battle was so strange and brutal.
I deliberately handed over the frontal battlefield, which seemed quite beneficial, to the 200,000 Dark Seren Army, but let the emperor attack the apparently tough Irun Valley. It seemed to be a disadvantage, but in fact, the Dark Seren did nothing. Unexpectedly, this battle simply cannot be attacked. The Martin Liya prairie is vast for more than two thousand miles, and the people of Martin Liya have no habit of building cities.
This seemingly stupid habit is actually a self-protection of the Martin Liya people, so that any enemy who steps into the Martin Liya prairie will not be able to get a support point for strategic advancement. It is impossible for a large army to fight. It always depends on plundering to obtain supplies. The wealth gained from plundering cannot become something that can be eaten and drink. On the contrary, the more plundered, the closer to the edge of failure
This is the Martin Liya Prairie, vast and vast, but without even the most basic road traffic. The Martin Liya people have lived here for hundreds of years and are very familiar with geographical water sources and can get supplies anytime and anywhere. But when the enemy’s army entered, he was blind, and Martin Liya had a considerable number of cavalry groups, and he could cut off the enemy’s army at any time in this vast land.
Don’t look at the fierce fighting in front of the Dark Ser Army, raiding the city, and making a lot of money. In fact, the Dark Ser Army is already in a dangerous place without noticing it.
The front is smooth sailing, seemingly like a rainbow, as if an unstoppable posture, but because of the cheapness of the raid. Once the main reinforcements of the Martin Liya army return, the front has been pulled out for more than two hundred miles, one end The 200,000 Darkside Army that plunged into the hinterland of Martin Liya, carrying a large number of looted and no material wealth, even if it wants to withdraw, it is difficult to withdraw it, and it is necessary to say that the Martin Liya people have cavalry. Moreover, it is the only country in South Oubaro that has the power of a cavalry group. In the face of the dark nephews who murdered and set fire in their own homes, the Martin Litooth cavalry must bite them with all their strength.
If you really want to fight Martin Liya, you can only go on the border
The emperor was naturally aware of this, but deliberately let the Anse people head forward, so that the Anse people can attract the main force of the Martin Force’s back support, while the empire continues to build strategic advantages and build a line of defense in the back. , Using the transportation routes in the northern area of Karisu to continuously transfer a large number of strategic materials into this predetermined battlefield, and now they have captured the valuable Irun Valley in the north. If the previous winning rate was half and half, then it is now enough. It has risen to more than 70%, because with the Irun Valley, for the Empire, not only is it getting rid of the embarrassment of having to fight with its back on the border, but it also has the ability to hit the side of the Martin force at any time. may. The fastest update┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛
Moreover, in response to Martin Liya’s cavalry raid tactics, in just half a month, the empire has built four such simple fortresses, directly drawing materials from the local area, using loess blocks to construct the outer walls of the fortresses, here and there. It is all loess, and because it has just gone through the process of drying out to damp, the stickiness of loess is quite amazing. The scale of each fortress is about three hundred meters in length and width, and the height of the outer wall is about five to six meters. Presents the Tian shape.
Starting from the sideline, there have been four fortresses, extending from the border of Karisu to Martin Liya. Each fortress contains a nearby lake of living water, which is enough to support the stationing of three or four thousand people. These four fortresses Ten miles apart, there were imperial scout cavalry back and forth during the period, ensuring the safety of extending the border transportation line all the way to Martin Liya
With these surrounding fortresses as the center, the imperial army’s camps spread out densely along the undulating hills, the flags rolled in the wind like the sea, the cold light and cold spears stood like a forest, and the second army of the empire was six. The 40,000 West Coast troops assembled after the War of Ten Thousand and Hokuriku, a total of one hundred thousand emperor troops stationed in this area,
Salton hesitated for a while, and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, in the situation that came back from Lytle, the Darkside Army did not allow Martin Liya in the Wolfxibia area to leave according to the original plan. In order to reduce the power of resistance, it adopted a cruel method of containment, claiming that the entire Wolfhibia Corridor was regarded as a hunting ground for the dark sir people, and they were busy attacking the Martin Liya people in the wolfhibia area. The siege has forced the already scattered wolf Xibia area to regroup to Stam. At present, there are nearly 300,000 Martin Liyas gathered in Stam, and the total force is more than 40,000. Moreover, at the meeting, an Anse senior bluntly said, "A Kalithu, when did the Kalithu decide the fate of our Anse? "
"Hehe, what is expected, in the face of huge benefits, the agreement between the Empire and Anse is indistinguishable from a piece of paper." The emperor glanced indifferently, his eyes flashing with a deep chill.
"According to the news of the Order Nation, the Martin Liya Kingdom has changed the commander of the Order Nation Battlefield. This shows that the Silver Fox is coming back. You make Lytle and the others ready to evacuate at any time. No, they are allowed to withdraw immediately." The emperor took back his eyes from a simple fortress under construction in the distance, and said to Salton behind him
"Subordinates understand"
Salton's eyes flashed with cold light, and his face nodded solemnly
The name of the silver fox is definitely notorious in Southern Obalo. In the battlefield of the sect nation, the imperial generals also deeply learned the power of this deceitful enemy general, even if it is like Varisian. The empire’s famous general did not take much advantage against this silver fox. On the contrary, when he was still vying for Si Talia, the center of the cult, he was almost lured into a trap by the silver fox, if it hadn’t been for Varisian. Cunning, and running fast, it was almost necessary to fill in more than 20,000 emperor troops. If it weren’t for the Southwest Legion of another empire’s famous general, Saron’s Southwest Legion, to reinforce the battlefield of the Order of Nations, Martin’s Army would have to be there at this moment. The Holy Capital to Kill
Now that the Martin Liya Army is temporarily changing generals on the battlefield of the Religious Nations, then the Silver Fox Ten ** is the commander of the Martin Liya Army who is returning this time. Thinking of this, Salton can only serve 200,000 secretly. The army silently mourned. The emperor was obviously not optimistic about the Anser army. Not to mention the emperor, even Salton believed that the Anser army would be defeated.
Not only because of the Silver Fox, but also because of the internal problems of the Darkside Army. Moving forward is itself a strategic mistake.
If the Darkside Army chooses to fight near the border, the situation is unfavorable and it can also withdraw to the dense forest land. In the dense forest land, the cavalry combat power will be greatly reduced, otherwise the Martin Liya army who attacked from the side in the battle of the southern part of Karisu I would not choose to abandon the war horses, and rely solely on infantry combat power. Looking back at the current 200,000 Darkside Army, it is already a red eye. I heard that there is still a fight among the various races, and there is no advice to the empire. People listen again, regardless of their own interests. Wolfxibia means the kingdom of wind in Martin Liya's language, which shows that it is a fertile land of Pingchuan.
If you are the commander of Martin Liya, you will also choose to put your counterattack in the Corridor of Wolf Xibia!
According to the previous plan, the Darkside Army will deliberately let go of the Wolfxibia Corridor, letting all the forces of Martin Force go away, weakening the force of the Martin Force, causing panic and unrest in the military. Maybe he could still take down the Corridor of Wolf Xibia before Martin Liya’s reinforcements returned, but the Anse was completely dizzy and addicted to the robbing. Instead of letting go of the corridor, he even resorted to the cruelty of containment and hunting. The way, if you want to kill all the Martin Liya people in Langxi Biyan, even if the Martin Liya people in the Langxi Corridor want to run, now they don’t want to be slaughtered, there is only one possibility of fighting to the death.
It was originally a good situation, but I was so stupefied that the Dark Seren was ruined like this. No wonder the emperor didn't let the Emperor ** team cooperate with it. Whoever encounters such a teammate will be dragged to death!
Just when Salton was feeling emotional, the Emperor hesitated, and raised his hand to him and said, "You immediately send an order to Leiter to tell the Anser that the Silver Fox may be coming."
"What does your majesty mean?" Salton stunned for a moment
"Go and execute, anyway, we have to give the silver fox a meeting gift." The emperor snorted his nose and looked at the vast rolling hills in the distance.
"Yes, the subordinates will do it?" Salton nodded away with an enlightened expression
The white mist in the early morning winds and flows across the wilderness, like a white stream of water flowing in the mountains and forests, and the mist at night moisturizes the ground, as if a haircut is pushed over, and draws a row of rough lines on the ground. , The sun just revealed the distant horizon, blood-red sunrise and dense purple clouds, most of the sky has not yet woken up from the vast cold night last night, the ocean shows a vast floating dark blue hard The earth conceals the looming dawn of the east, the brilliant colors change in the distance, and the crisp sound of horseshoes seems particularly clear at this time, getting closer and closer,
"Papa Papa"
The sound of horseshoes awakened the small animals in the wilderness, set off in a particularly cold and silent manner, and the wild birds that were frightened were fluttering in search of a place to hide. Dawn slowly opened the prelude to the darkness of the earth in the distance,
A group of Martin Litooth light cavalry wearing dark red armor emerged on the high hills. From a distance, they looked like a black wall that suddenly appeared in the hilly area. The sound of thunderous horses smashed the mountains. The tranquility, the morning sun shining from the morning mist, like a smoky earth, filled with waves of exciting trombone one after another,
"Continue forward"
"Don't stop, keep up with the fallen behind"
The rumbling of horseshoes is like thunder~IndoMTL.com~Occasionally mixed with the neigh of war horses and the collision and friction of metal vests, the red armor is like waves moving, and the breath of war horses brings waves of white in the morning. Smoke, here is the mud washed out by the huge river, all being lifted by the horses of war horses, and the narrow valleys several miles long and wide are full of red tides like tides!
A staggering number of cavalry groups are moving from east to west. Like a huge long dragon, smoke and dust travel through this corridor
On the raised mound, a middle-aged man with slightly white temples is staring ahead. Behind him, a dozen generals of Ansiri held their breath and looked at the middle-aged man. The back of the person is full of ardor of worship. He is the young patriarch silver fox. He is regarded by his subordinates as the most outstanding leader in the history of the Ansili family. This time he returned to the army from the sect nation and simply ran out for three days At night, many people fell asleep directly on the back of the running horse, and finally ran here from the sect country in one breath. The so-called soldiers are very fast, and no one would have thought that His Royal Highness Silver Fox personally led 30,000 soldiers. After throwing away the 60,000 infantrymen, he surpassed more than five hundred miles in three days and reached the edge of the Wolfhibia Corridor at an incredible speed. This bumpy road is even Martin Liya. People can’t stand it either. There are countless left behind. At this moment, the 30,000 pro-army is probably more than 10,000.
The general of Ansili’s face is slightly pale, even the general can’t stand the turbulence for such a long time. "My lord, our army has been rushing for three days in a row. Would you like to take a break?
