"Holy Thunder City and its surrounding areas are my homeland in the Far East. Losing them to the enemy for hundreds of years is a disgrace to my Far East. Today's bloody battle to regain them all depends on the bravery of all brothers."
The former city lord's mansion in St. Lei City has now become the front-line headquarters of the Second Far East Field Army.
In the command headquarters, Li Lang, the head of the Second Army, also held a military affairs meeting. He first verbally praised the Second Army and the fierce tiger troops who participated in the battle.
After all, their campaign to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Holy See in the St. Lei City area was not in their plan.
They have repeatedly encountered tentative provocations from the Holy See. What Li Lang meant was to send Wu Sen and his troops to infiltrate the territory of the Holy See to take revenge.
Unexpectedly, instead of revenge, they were besieged, which made Li Lang realize the great threat to them from the heavy gathering of Holy See soldiers around Saint Lei City.
After some deliberation, they finally decided to send troops to Saint Lei City to completely eliminate the threat on the border.
All the troops in the Far East mobilized in the name of winter exercises, crossed the border at the fastest speed, and went straight to the city of St. Lei.
The cathars of Holy Thunder City thought they were bluffing, in order to understand the siege of Sirius City.
Who knew that Li Lang's goal was not to lift the siege of Sirius City, but to eliminate the enemies around Saint Thunder City.
The enemy wanted to count them, but Li Lang and the others counted them. During the two-day fierce battle of the main force, one hundred thousand cathars were wiped out, and countless supplies fell into the hands of the Far East Army.
?It can be said that the various troops ran for hundreds of miles and fought bloody battles for several days, which carried forward the heroic and tenacious fighting spirit of the various troops of the Far Eastern Army.
? Especially for the Tiger Troop, which was newly formed less than a year ago, its fierce and sturdy fighting style on the battlefield made the cathars terrified.
After hearing the praise of Li Lang, the commander of the regiment, all the battalion commanders and regiment commanders of the banners participating in the meeting also had smiles on their faces.
Since the establishment of the empire, they have been garrisoning the borders of the Yunzhong province, and it has been a long time since they fought such a hearty battle.
This time, they wiped out the main force of the Skitarii in Saint Thunder City with lightning speed, which is enough to show that their combat effectiveness is still strong.
"I will report your contributions to the imperial court, and I will reward you one by one." Li Lang said with a smile.
"It's just that now that we have regained the Holy Thunder City, the Holy See will definitely not let it go, so we can't relax our vigilance, but to prevent them from counterattacking."
Seeing the cheerful generals, Li Lang, the regiment leader, also reminded them to prevent them from being too proud and being taken advantage of by the enemy.
Eugene, the red-clothed general of the Skitarii, originally led the Blood Moon Knights and Scythe Knights, and then dispatched four infantry regiments from Saint Thunder City to besiege Sirius City.
Pang Biao, deputy head of the Second Field Army Corps guarding Sirius City, led his troops to fight to the death, pinning down the cavalry troops of the Skitarii, and effectively cooperating with the battle in Saint Lei City.
Eugene was also shocked when he learned that the city of Saint Thunder had fallen, and that Donnaf and most of the 100,000 troops had been wiped out.
After all, Saint Thunder City stores a large amount of food, materials and weapons and equipment, and is their most important material storage base in the border area.
Now that St. Lei City was captured, and the 100,000 army was wiped out, he was worried that his rear would be cut off due to lack of food and fodder, so he retreated decisively from Sirius City, all the way to the Neiba River east of St. Lei City.
Following the retreat of Eugene's troops, St. Lei City, Sirius City and the surrounding large areas, the officials of the Holy See, the cathars and the local garrison all retreated, and fell into anarchy.
Eugene led his troops to retreat decisively to the line of the Neba River, avoiding the danger of annihilation of the entire army.
He now has tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry under his command, especially their cavalry, which is the biggest threat to the Far Eastern Army.
This is why Li Lang emphasized strengthening vigilance to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, because once the opponent's cavalry counterattacks, it is likely to cause heavy losses to them.
"Wu Sen, you will lead all the cavalry units under the Second Army and deploy them to the west bank of the Neba River to monitor the actions of the Skitarii."
In order to prevent the Skitarii from counterattacking, Li Lang, the head of the legion, also adjusted the deployment, so that Wu Sen, the commander of the Eighth Banner in the field who almost fell, was in command of the cavalry to monitor the Skitarii.
"Lu Cheng, you lead your troops to set up camp in the area east of Shenglei City, and guard the direction of the Neiba River."
In addition to deploying cavalry troops on the west bank of the Neiba River, Li Lang also asked Lu Cheng, the head of the Field Sixth Banner, to form a second line of defense.
"The Seventh Field Banner Regiment is stationed in Sirius City."
"The Field Ninth Banner Regiment is stationed in the south of St. Lei City."
"The Tenth Field Banner Regiment is stationed in St. Lei City."
Li Lang and the others captured the area around Saint Thunder City, so naturally they wouldn't spit it out easily, after all, this is their homeland.
Because the 10th Field Banner Regiment lost the most in this battle, they were stationed in St. Leicheng, which had the best conditions.
Li Lang left the 10th Banner Regiment, which suffered the most losses in the field, in St. Thunder City, which was actually not enough to guard St. Thunder City, because after all, St. Thunder City was the largest and most important strategic location in the nearby area.
The reason why he deployed in this way was because the three banner regiments of Fatty Lu's Tiger Troop also stayed in the outskirts of St. Lei City.
This also means that there are more than four banner regiments guarding inside and outside of Saint Thunder City, even if the cathars counterattack, there is nothing they can do about it.
Li Lang and the others extended the border to the St. Leicheng area, and the Yunzhong Province, which used to be the front line, now became the rear.
It's just that now all the troops in this area have gathered in the Holy Thunder City area, and the defense of the Yunzhong Province has become empty.
For this reason, Li Lang deliberately reported the great victory on the front line to the imperial court, and at the same time requested the imperial court to send troops to fill the Yunzhong province.
"As far as I know, there are a lot of people from the Holy See in St. Lei City and the five surrounding small towns, more than 30 market towns."
"The size of these Holy See people is as high as more than 500,000. They are also full of hostility towards our Far East. They threw stones at us and attacked our sentries, which caused great obstacles to our occupation of this area."
What Li Lang said is also the biggest problem they are facing now. Now they not only have to face Eugene's army on the outer Neiba River, but also face the threat of more than 500,000 people from the Holy See inside.
After all, St. Lei City has been taken by the Holy See for hundreds of years, and many things in this area have been turned into the Holy See.
Especially after the Holy See expelled the local Far Easterners, their property was confiscated and distributed directly to the Holy See people who moved over.
The original purpose of the Holy See was not only to eliminate local instability, but also to resettle the refugees caused by Fatty Lu's raid on the Holy See.
Now these people from the Holy See are very hostile to the Far East Army, and Li Lang also decided to fight them back.
"Holy Thunder City is my homeland in the Far East. Those who are willing to become people from the Far East, we welcome them to stay. Those who are unwilling to submit to the Far East will be deported immediately. Rebels will be killed without mercy!"
These people from the Holy See occupied the land of the Far East, and now the Far East's army has taken back here, and they are still full of hostility towards the Far East, which is not allowed by Li Lang.
Therefore, at this front-line meeting, he also showed his iron-blooded means, that is, to fight an eye for an eye, and expel the local Holy See people who opposed them.
After all, this is their homeland in the Far East. Since they oppose their Far East, then you are welcome to deport them directly! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
