Nearly a million troops gathered on the banks of the Neba River, and a cruel and bloody battle was in full swing.
The Far Eastern Empire has a branch of elite meritorious troops in the Neiba River area, and the Holy See is mobilizing all its forces, posing for a deadly battle.
In this massive decisive battle, the armies of the Far Eastern Army fought side by side, fighting bravely for the empire.
Encouraged by the bishops, the soldiers of the Holy See charged forward one after another.
Relying on the sandbag fortress, the Far East Army launched an active defensive operation, and fought a life-and-death fight with the Skitarii.
All the way, the Skitarii pounced on the Far Eastern Army's defense line. Facing the powerful bows and crossbows of the Far Eastern Army, the Skitarii fell in a pool of blood in pieces.
In just one day, nearly 10,000 Skitarii soldiers fell in front of the Far Eastern Army's fortifications.
Quite a few of these skitaris were shot and killed by the strong bows and crossbows of the Far Eastern Army, and some were stabbed to death by sharp spears while trying to break into the sandbag fortress of the Far Eastern Army on ladders.
The battlefield is filled with a strong smell of blood, and there are fallen corpses and wailing wounded soldiers everywhere.
However, this tragic battle was only the beginning. Although the Skitarii suffered heavy casualties, they had no intention of retreating.
Under the leadership of their officers at all levels, they launched a fierce attack on the Far East Army from different directions.
The cataracts with spears like a forest and the sword and shield soldiers with fierce faces howled like wild beasts, attacking in turn day and night.
?The units of the Far Eastern Army, which adopted defensive and counterattack tactics, relied on fortifications to give the enemy a head-on blow, and from time to time they counter-charged and fought with the Skitarii.
On the second day, on the front line of the battle between the two sides, layers of corpses had covered the sandbag fortress.
The fields and ditches were already filled with corpses, the soil was soaked in blood, countless people wrestled and fought together, the young grass was trampled into the soil, and there was a bloody mud everywhere.
The sound of the charging horn, the clang of fighting and the neighing of the horses made the battlefield a hustle and bustle.
On the wide battlefield, two huge armies were wrestling with each other. On the third day of the battle, the battlefield was already staggered.
Some areas were controlled by the troops of the Far East Army, and some camps were captured by the attacking troops of the Skitarii.
However, in just a few hours, these areas will change hands again and again, but there will be several thick layers of corpses on the ground.
When the main forces of the two sides were fighting fiercely on the frontal battlefield, Yuan Jie's 12th Cavalry Corps suddenly appeared behind the Skitarii.
They broke through the Scout Rangers of the Skitarii and launched a fierce attack on the Seventh Army of the Skitarii.
After a whole day of bloody fighting, the Twelfth Cavalry Corps led by Yuan Jie defeated the Seventh Infantry Corps of the Skitarii Army and killed tens of thousands of enemies.
After learning that a large number of Far Eastern Army cavalry appeared behind him, Marshal Caesar of the Skitarii also dispatched all the cavalry troops on hand.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line fighting with the Far Eastern Army. Once the rear supply line is threatened, they will collapse without a fight.
For this reason, it became their top priority to eliminate the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army who appeared behind them.
A large number of Skitarii cavalry was transferred to the rear to deal with Yuan Jie's 12th Cavalry Regiment to protect their logistics supply line.
The two sides launched a series of battles around the transportation supply line. A large number of transportation convoys were destroyed by the cavalry of the Far East Army, preventing the food and fodder of the Skitarii from being transported to the front line.
"Strengthen the protection of the transport team!"
The frontlines of the Skitarii had stored a large amount of food and fodder for the attack on the Far East Empire, but the daily consumption was also huge.
They must restore the supply line as soon as possible. For this reason, he ordered the remnants of the Seventh Army, Eighth Army, Ninth Army and a large number of cavalry units to cooperate to protect the transport team.
With a large number of regular army troops joining the protection of the transport team, the cavalry of the Far East Army sometimes found them before they approached.
When they rushed to the front, the transport team and escort troops of the Skitarii had already formed a defensive formation with grain trucks on the spot.
The cavalry of the Far Eastern Army attacked these convoys several times. Although they were wiped out, the casualties of the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army continued to increase.
"Cut the whole into parts, and destroy the military depots and grain depots in their towns!"
"Destroy their transport roads and make their transport teams uselessLaw passed! "
"Send a large number of scouts to strangle their scouts!"
With the callback of the Cavalry of the Skitarii and the protection of the three regular armies, it is becoming more and more difficult for the cavalry of the Far East Army to destroy their convoy.
For this reason, the commander Yuan Jie also adjusted his tactics in a timely manner. He no longer attacked their transport team hard, but avoided its edge and destroyed other places.
The cavalry of the Twelfth Cavalry Corps has extremely high maneuverability, and their speed is also extremely fast.
After they were broken into parts, they launched an attack on the supply points, military depots, and checkpoints along the way of the Skitarii.
Facing these cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army who came and went like the wind and as fast as lightning, the warehouses, supply points, and checkpoints of the Skitarii were completely living targets, and they were destroyed one by one.
A large number of scout cavalry of the Far Eastern Army also dispatched in unison, brutally strangling the scouts of the Skitarii within a radius of several hundred miles.
As a large number of Skitarii scouts were strangled, the Skitarii became blind and deaf, and the movement and position of the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army became blurred.
The cavalry of the Far Eastern Army also captured a large number of people in the villages and drove them to damage those bridges and roads.
Following a series of actions by Yuan Jie and the others, although the Skitarii had 200,000 to 300,000 troops in the rear to ensure logistical supplies, the logistical supply line was eventually paralyzed.
A 20,000-strong cavalry unit of the Skitarii was ambushed by Yuan Jie and the others, and was completely wiped out.
After paralyzing the Skitarii's logistics supply line, Yuan Jie's Twelfth Army Corps focused on the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Third Army behind the Skitarii.
These three armies are almost all infantry. As a deep second-line force, they must be transferred to the front line to fight in rotation at any time.
? When the Far Eastern Army stormed the Patriarchs, they were ordered to rush to the front line of the Neiba River.
However, as the front line stabilized their position, they returned to their station again, waiting for the transfer order to take turns to fight.
Now that Yuan Jie has cut off the supply line of the Skitarii, his task now is to destroy the rear troops of these Skitarii.
As long as the rear troops of these Skitarii are destroyed, the Skitarii in front-line operations will not be able to rotate, and will also lose reinforcements and rear cover.
At that time, Yuan Jie's cavalry troops will not only be able to cooperate with the main force to pinch Caesar's hundreds of thousands of troops from the rear.
Moreover, Yuan Jie was also able to lead the cavalry troops to drive straight into the hinterland of the Holy See just like Fatty Lu did back then.
For this reason, the annihilation of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Armies of the Skitarii became a key to determining the outcome of the war.
As long as they are destroyed, the Far Eastern Army will completely control the initiative in the war, and it will only be a matter of time before the main force of the Skitarii is eliminated.
