"How can it be?"
After hearing the news, Caesar, Marshal of the Holy See, was also full of disbelief, full of doubts about the authenticity of the information.
You must know that the wolf cavalry on the prairie are light cavalry as fast as the wind. On the vast battlefield, it can be said that it is more difficult for the infantry in the Far East to encircle and wipe them out.
As long as the wolf cavalry on the prairie don't kill themselves, they are completely invincible.
They hit the infantry in the Far East as if they were hitting a living target. Even if they didn't attack, they could drag the Far East Army to death.
But in fact, the huge number of wolf cavalry was defeated, which made Marshal Caesar puzzled.
"Tell me, how did they lose?"
Marshal Caesar, who was full of doubts about intelligence, turned his attention to the bishop in charge of intelligence, wanting to learn more about the situation.
The generals who were talking a lot were also shocked by the sudden news, and they also wanted to know the specific inside story.
"The wolf cavalry drove straight into the imperial capital of the Far East. They launched a fierce attack on the imperial capital. After paying a heavy price, they broke into the imperial capital. The army was almost wiped out"
After hearing the words of the bishop in charge of intelligence, Marshal Caesar was also stunned for a while, and then he slammed his fist on the table and cursed angrily.
"A bunch of idiots!"
In the view of Marshal Caesar, the fiasco of the Prairie Wolf Cavalry this time was entirely their own fault.
The advantage of the prairie wolf cavalry is to fight on the vast field battlefield, conduct surprise raids on cities in the Far East, divide and encircle them, cut off the connections and supplies of cities in the Far East, and then force them to surrender.
However, the prairie wolf cavalry used their own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, and they were so stupid that they used elite cavalry as cheap infantry to attack the city.
"They deserved their failure! They deserve it!"
Marshal Caesar was cursing angrily, and this time he was also very angry.
In his opinion, even if the Far Eastern Empire did not use the powerful sky thunder this time, the Prairie Wolf Cavalry would probably be defeated.
We must know that the Far Eastern Empire relied on the elite infantry to build a country by war, even if the wolf cavalry invaded the imperial capital.
The infantry in the Far East can also rely on the blocks and buildings in the city to engage in brutal street battles with them to consume the vitality of the wolf cavalry.
It's just that the Far Eastern Army adopted a more direct and brutal method this time, annihilating the main force of the wolf cavalry at the cost of flattening countless blocks in the west of the city.
After swearing fiercely, Marshal Caesar also gasped for breath and stopped cursing.
In fact, he could also imagine that if he came to the imperial capital, and there were emperors and senior officials from the Far East in the imperial capital, he might not be willing to give up the fat around his lips.
We must know that the strategic significance of capturing the imperial capital of the Far East is extremely great, and for a soldier, being able to capture the capital of an enemy country is the highest honor.
But this time, Marshal Arslen of the Prairie was out of luck.
"Pass my military order, the whole army will pack up tomorrow, and temporarily retreat the day after tomorrow."
At the beginning, Marshal Nishizawa wanted to hold on for a few more days. Once the news came that Hanhai had invaded the southern part of the Far Eastern Empire, the Far Eastern Army on the front line would inevitably withdraw in a panic.
At that time, it will be their chance to counterattack. At that time, they will attack the retreating Far East Army and win a huge victory.
But now they haven't waited for the news of Han Hai's success, but what they got was the fiasco of the prairie wolf cavalry.
Now even if Han Hai succeeds, it is estimated that the Far Eastern Army on the opposite side will not withdraw easily.
After all, the wolf cavalry has been defeated, and the Far Eastern Army over there has been able to free up its hands to help other theaters at any time.
They are now facing the crisis of food shortage. If they continue to stand in a stalemate with the Far Eastern Army on the front line, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to them.
"Please Marshal, please think twice."
Seeing Marshal Caesar order to retreat, General Eugene spoke to persuade.
"Now the army is exhausted after days of hard fighting. There are hundreds of thousands of Far Eastern troops staring at us. Once we retreat, they will definitely chase after us. In addition, their cavalry are threatening us. The risk of our retreat is too great." The general in red said. Eugene explained.
Marshal Caesar said angrily: "But the army is about to run out of food, and the food and fodder in the back will be transported.Come up, if we don't retreat temporarily, our army will starve to death. "
"We can go grab the food of the people in the Far East, and we will attack with all our strength to grab their food!" The general in red, Eugene, suggested.
"Do you think people from the Far East are fools?" Roy, the general in red, gave him a blank stare.
The general in red, Lawson, also echoed: "If the people from the Far East are so easy to fight, we won't have difficulty making an inch for more than two months."
Marshal Caesar made a final decision: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. The whole army will pack up tomorrow and retreat to the Sannato area the day after tomorrow. There are strong cities and a lot of supplies there."
"General Eugene."
Marshal Caesar saw the red-clothed general Eugene who was hesitant to speak, and knocked on the table.
"Your Sixth Army is responsible for breaking the rear and providing cover for the withdrawal of the army." Marshal Caesar ordered.
"yes."
General Eugene in red knew that it was not an easy job to cut off the queen, but he could only bite the bullet and obeyed the order given to him by Marshal Caesar.
In fact, he has already regretted it now. If he had known this, he should not have stood up to persuade Marshal Caesar, otherwise he would not be in the post-mortem job.
Seeing that Eugene's Sixth Army was left behind, the rest of the generals also showed gloating expressions.
You must know that Eugene, who had made great achievements in the battle of the Holy See, had not suffered a disastrous defeat in the city of Saint Lei, and the army of 100,000 had been completely lost. It is estimated that this time the marshal is not Caesar, but him.
For Eugene, a maverick general who doesn't want to get along with others, the rest of the generals are also happy to let him down.
Seeing those colleagues who were gloating at other people's misfortunes, the red-clothed general Eugene was also very depressed.
When Marshal Caesar of the Holy See learned that the wolf cavalry was retreating northward due to the disastrous defeat, after a comprehensive study and judgment, he decided to retreat as an advance, and led the army to retreat to the Sannatu area in order to fight again.
In the Far Eastern Army camp not far from the Holy See, Imperial Marshal Li Lang and Chief of Staff Li Qiye had just received the war report from the imperial capital.
The Far East Empire Intelligence Investigation Institute has established a complete set of efficient information transmission system, which is much faster than the express station of the Ministry of War at eight hundred miles.
It's just that the general military information transmission, the Ministry of War still uses its own post system, and uses the transmission method of changing horses without changing people.
This time, the imperial capital used the pigeon delivery system of the Intelligence Research Institute to send the battle report to the front line, which is the latest situation that is extremely urgent.
Li Lang and the others knew about the disastrous defeat of the wolf cavalry for a long time. This time, the battle report they received was that the Hanhai Empire had landed from the southern province of the Empire.
Emperor Chen Zi'ang's battle report to them did not ask them to lead the army back to help, it was just a simple report.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"
Seeing the simple report on the battle situation, the imperial capital did not make any demands, and Li Lang, the marshal of the empire, was also unclear about the situation.
"The south is in an emergency, is your Majesty just telling us and not letting us send troops back?"
"Since the imperial capital did not allow us to send troops back to aid, it means that His Majesty has a countermeasure and does not want to disrupt our combat deployment in the Northeast Theater because of this matter." Li Qiye analyzed.
"However, since His Majesty sent the battle report in a hurry, it also reminded us that Han Hai's army has landed from the south. If we don't end the battle with the Holy See as soon as possible, the food and fodder may not last long. .¡±
Li Qiye said: "So our battle against the Holy See must end as soon as possible. If we continue to delay like this, it will be extremely detrimental to us."
Li Lang, the marshal of the empire, also nodded. As the only main attack direction of the empire, it is indeed a bit unreasonable that they have not made a breakthrough for such a long time.
Fortunately, the situation on the front line is favorable to them. Their main force has contained the main force of the Holy See, and now the cavalry has cut off their logistical supplies.
As long as the time is delayed for a few more weeks, the Holy See's frontline army will collapse due to lack of food, and then it will be a good opportunity for a decisive battle.
It's just that everything is going to be accelerated now, and they can't stay so stalemate, after all, the Hanhai people have killed their Jiangnan province.
"The news of the Hanhai people's landing from the Jiangnan province must be strictly blocked, so as not to affect the morale of the army." Li Lang ordered.
"Starting tomorrow, we will also step up our attack on the Holy See, and try to resolve the battle within a few weeks." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
