"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1251
The main force of the cathars led by Kenan retreated with difficulty towards the border city of St. Lei, leaving behind corpses along the way.
The Qinghe army, commanded by Chen Zi'ang, was firmly biting behind them, constantly nibbling away at their ranks.
"General, we are only two days away from the border. I have already sent people to Shenglei City to bring food to meet us."
In the midst of fighting and retreating, the cathars were finally about to reach the border and return to the country after losing nearly half of their strength.
"Send the order, let the soldiers hold on a little longer, we are going to the city of Saint Thunder!"
After hearing that it was only two days away from Saint Thunder City, Kenan, the commander with a haggard face and bloodshot eyes, was also in high spirits.
The Skitarii retreated along the way, almost all relying on hunting and wild vegetables to feed themselves. Non-combat personnel were reduced by 30%, and combat personnel were reduced by 20%. Now only nearly half of the troops are left.
When they learned that they were about to arrive in St. Thunder City and that they would be able to have enough to eat, the inspired Skitarii soldiers didn't even have the strength to cheer.
However, for the guards along the way, being able to return to the border alive has actually become a luxury.
Because after defeating Morey's troops, Li Lang, the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, under the order of Chen Zi'ang, led the army to rush day and night.
At this moment, the Qinghe Army's Second Army Corps directly under Li Lang, Lei Ming's Sixth Army Corps, and the newly formed Li Changqing Ninth Army Corps have formed three lines of defense near the border, blocking the way of the cathars.
"Report!"
"General, we found a large number of Qinghe Army in Anhua Mansion ahead! The banner is the Second Army of Qinghe Army!"
Soon, Qingqi, the scout of the catastrophe, discovered that something was wrong ahead, and there were a large number of scout rangers of the Qinghe Army moving around.
After their careful investigation, they found that Anhua Mansion had been captured by the Qinghe Army, and the Qinghe Army had cut off their retreat.
"Map!"
Knowing that Anhua Mansion found a large group of Qinghe activities, Kenan, a much thinner general, also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered people to open the map.
Anhua Mansion is a mansion bordering the Holy See in the Far Eastern Empire. As long as they pass through Anhua Mansion, they can return to the Holy Thunder City within the country.
But now that a large number of Qinghe troops have appeared in Anhua Mansion, it is undoubtedly not good news for their weak army.
"Report!"
"The flag of the Ninth Army of the Qinghe Army was found in the Hengshan area!"
When the general in red, Kenan, was ordering people to investigate the specific situation of the enemies in Anhua Mansion, another bad news came.
"Why did their Ninth Army come to Hengshan!"
The Hengshan area is on the flank of Anhua Mansion. After learning that the Ninth Army Corps of the Qinghe Army appeared here, Kenan's expression became extremely ugly.
Because the Ninth Army Corps and the Second Army Corps are under the command of Li Lang, deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, and now that the Qinghe Army has appeared in the Anhua and Hengshan areas, it means that the main force of the Qinghe Army Li Lang's department has cut off their retreat. .
Behind them, the two regiments of the Qinghe Army commanded by Chen Ziang stared at them, and Li Lang's Qinghe Army blocked the way ahead.
The general in red, Kenan, suddenly discovered that their cathars had fallen into a desperate situation where there were wolves in front and tigers in back.
"Damn Chen Ziang, they have already arranged it!"
Seeing that Li Lang had led his troops to stand in front of them, Kenan suddenly realized why Chen Ziang had been following them these days and did not launch a large-scale attack.
It turned out that Chen Ziang and the others deliberately drove them into the encirclement and made them weaker.
Now the army under Kenan's command has been reduced by nearly half after combat and non-combat, and there are a large number of enemies around, Kenan and the generals are also extraordinarily dignified.
"General, what shall we do now?"
Facing the plight of being encircled, the generals in black also set their sights on Kenan, whose eyes were bloodshot.
"For the current plan, the only way out is a bloody battle!"
Kenan knew very well in his heart that if they hesitated, they would have no chance of survival.
Now they can only take a breath, concentrate all their strength, and tear the enemy away from the encirclement of the Qinghe army.?A hole is the only way to survive.
"Issue the order to throw away all unnecessary luggage and seized property, and the whole army marches lightly. We will fight out from Hengshan County!"
Kenan looked around at the haggard-looking generals in black, and gave an order to break out of the siege and survive.
In the direction of Anhuafu is the Second Army of the Qinghe Army. This is the main trump card army of the Qinghe Army. It has defeated countless powerful enemies.
In the direction of Hengshan County is the Ninth Army of the Qinghe Army, which is a new army that has just been formed.
Kennan and the others no longer have the strength to go head-to-head with the main force of the Qinghe Army, so they can only find soft persimmons.
Li Changqing's Ninth Army was newly formed, so Kenan set the direction of the breakout to Hengshan County.
"Tell all the soldiers that Hengshan County is a new unit of the Qinghe Army. Its combat effectiveness is not strong. As long as we defeat them, we can not only get food, but also break out!"
"If we can't defeat them, all of us here will die, so in this battle, we will be benevolent if we fail!"
Kenan, the general in red, quickly mobilized the weak troops before the battle, and selected his most elite infantry teams as assault troops.
After learning that they had fallen into the siege of the Qinghe Army, the soldiers of the Guardian Army also experienced a panic.
They also all knew that if they didn't try their best, their lives would probably be lost here.
Therefore, when Kenan ordered them to throw away the seized gold, silver, jewelry and other things to prepare for a deadly battle, these believers also cheered up again, and put on a desperate posture.
Soon, the main force of the Guardian Army led by Kenan swooped in the direction of Hengshan County of the Ninth Army of the Qinghe Army.
They did not hide the slightest bit about this action, and the armies from all walks of life were almost indomitable, assaulting at the fastest speed.
"What, they attacked in the direction of Hengshan County?"
After receiving the report, Li Lang, deputy commander of the Qinghe Army who was in Anhua Mansion, looked at the map with a pensive expression.
"Order the Ninth Army to defend Hengshan County to the death!" Li Lang ordered.
"Deputy Marshal, shall we send reinforcements?" Pang Biao, deputy commander of the Second Army Corps, asked.
Li Lang thought for a while and said, "Before the situation of the battle is clear, let's hold back."
Although the combat effectiveness of the Guardian Army was greatly weakened, Li Lang did not dare to underestimate his opponent.
He was in charge of besieging the catechist army in front, and if he got caught in the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, it would be terrible.
So he was going to wait and see, and make a decision after seeing the specific direction of the main force of the Skitarii breaking through.
Li Lang, the deputy commander, let the Ninth Army Corps in the direction of Hengshan County stick to it, and he did not send troops to reinforce it.
The main force of the Qinghe Army following behind the Skitarii also noticed the movement of the Skitarii.
"The Eighth Army and Guards are first, and the Second Banner Regiment will follow up and attack their guards!"
Chen Ziang was also worried that the Skitarii would attack the West, so he didn't use all his troops, but only asked Xu Yong to lead the army to follow up and attack the Skitarii. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
