When the Far Eastern Army under the command of Marshal Li Lang fought fiercely with the army of the Holy See on the Neiba River battlefield, the northern border of the empire was also covered with clouds of battle.
As one of the coalition forces, the Golden Horde Royal Court also assembled a large number of wolf cavalry on the southern grasslands, threatening the northern border of the Far East Empire.
Facing the brave and sturdy wolf cavalry, the army stationed on the northern border of the empire is quite weak.
?Since a large number of elite troops were transferred to the command of Imperial Marshal Li Lang, there were only a small number of regular troops left behind on the northern border.
"The small group of wolf cavalry is becoming more and more frequent!"
"During the day, signs of their small troop movements were found in Qiaocun in the west and Wujiabao in the south."
In the middle of the night, in Gaotai City in the northern part of Daling Province, several officers of the Far East Army in black uniforms were looking at the map under the dim yellow lanterns, with extremely solemn expressions.
The original flag regiment stationed in Gaotai City was 20,000 elite, and they were the first line of defense against the prairie wolf cavalry.
However, now that a large number of elite troops have been mobilized, the Far Eastern Army defending Gaotai City now has only a thousand people.
The defensive forces of their surrounding cities are also similar, most of which have only one or two thousand troops left.
"It looks like their attack is just around the corner."
The strength of the Far Eastern Army stationed in Gaotai City has been greatly reduced, making it impossible for them to defend too large a range.
In addition to placing a few cavalry on a checkpoint near the border for early warning, most of the troops shrank back to the city.
"How is the preparation in all aspects?"
The highest officer left behind was a deputy banner battalion commander. He looked at his colleagues and asked.
"My lord, everything has been prepared according to the plan and can be evacuated at any time." An officer replied.
"That's good."
The Deputy Banner Battalion Commander nodded, with a sense of loss on his face.
"My lord, can we really come back?" an officer asked.
"This time we are taking the initiative to retreat. This is for the sake of the overall situation. When the time is right, we will definitely be able to fight back!" The Deputy Banner Battalion Commander looked at several officers and said firmly.
He added: "You tell the brothers, it's time to go to the mountains and rivers this time, don't have a psychological burden, and you will be back soon."
"Don't worry, I will stay here and I will take care of your home." The deputy banner battalion commander said with a smile.
"My lord, why don't I stay, and you take the brothers to retreat."
"How can the order be changed arbitrarily, I keep it as an order from above." The deputy banner battalion commander shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, when you come back, let's get together and drink again."
The Deputy Banner Battalion Commander saw the heavy-faced officers and patted them on the shoulder with a smile.
"Report!"
Just as they were talking in the house, there were hurried footsteps outside, and someone shouted outside.
"what happened?"
They also got up quickly and opened the door.
"My lord, about 20,000 wolf cavalry crossed the border from the left side of our No. 3 sentry post, and rushed towards our Gaotai City!" The brother who reported the message said anxiously.
"They finally did it."
Hearing that the wolf riders crossed the border and killed them in Gaotai City, they seemed to be relieved, but they were not as nervous as before.
"Follow the plan."
The Deputy Banner Battalion Commander glanced at the several officers standing beside him, and ordered.
"My lord, take care!"
"My lord, protect yourself."
After these officers stood up one by one and gave a standard military salute to the deputy banner battalion commander, they turned around and left the yard with big strides.
Seeing that everyone had left the yard, the Deputy Banner Battalion Commander returned to the house, quickly changed his black officer uniform, and quickly folded and wrapped it up.
Not long after, the Deputy Banner Battalion Commander of the Far Eastern Army, who had changed into civilian clothes, appeared at the gate.
At the gate, more than 300 soldiers dressed in common people's clothes had also gathered here.
"Brothers, go¡ª"
After they took a look at the house with the plaque on it, under the cover of night, they quickly left the city and went straight to the village in the countryside.
? Shortly after they left, High TerraceThe sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded outside the city, and a long dragon of torches was rapidly approaching Gaotai City.
The early warning soldiers of the Far Eastern Army in Gaotai City rang the early warning gong, and the sleeping people were also awakened.
Facing the wolf cavalry who had arrived outside the city, the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army guarding the city wall fired fiercely at them.
More than a dozen crossbow machines placed on the city wall roared continuously, and rows of crossbow arrows shot out with the breath of death.
There were shrill screams in the darkness, and the wolf cavalry who tried to touch it were shot off their horses.
"Withdraw!"
After the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army on the city wall shot all the crossbow bolts and damaged the crossbow machine, they quickly got off the city wall, got on their horses, and headed for another city gate.
"My lord, are the wolf riders calling?"
When the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army were evacuating quickly on the street, a young man with a kitchen knife stood under the eaves and asked loudly.
"Yes, the wolf riders are calling, and there are tens of thousands of people."
A Far Eastern Army cavalry reined in his horse and replied loudly.
"Do you need us to go to the city to help?" said the young man with a kitchen knife.
"No, go home quickly, protect yourself well, don't fight recklessly with them."
After hearing the words of the young man holding a kitchen knife, the cavalry officer also felt a sore nose, and immediately said seriously.
"Listen to the order and go home quickly, we are leaving."
A Far Eastern Army cavalry urged him when he saw where the young man was in a daze.
"Where are you guys going?"
Another middle-aged man who walked out of the house with a stick asked.
"Our troops are insufficient, and Gaotai City cannot be defended."
The cavalry officer looked at these simple people and had to tell them the truth.
As soon as his words came out, the common people who were carrying sticks and kitchen knives to go to the city to help in the battle also buzzed, their minds went blank.
"Why can't you beat it?"
"Don't we have tens of thousands of troops?"
These common people didn't know that, in fact, the elite troops had been drawn out long ago.
"Fathers and folks, listen to me, we have no choice but to abandon Gaotai City! Everyone remember, keep the green hills here and don't worry about running out of firewood. Live well, and our army will fight back one day!"
"The empire will not abandon Gaotai City!"
Seeing these fried people, the cavalry officer felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't help it.
"Everyone has it, salute!"
Following the cavalry officer's order, the cavalrymen on horseback also gave a military salute to the people gathered in the street.
"Parents and folks, take care!"
These cavalrymen felt so guilty in their hearts that they had no face to face the people they had abandoned to the enemy.
They soon disappeared into the dark street under the leadership of cavalry officers, leaving behind a panicked crowd.
"Listen to me, our army will fight back, the enemy is about to come in, now go home and close the doors and windows!"
Facing the panic-stricken people, people from the Intelligence Investigation Institute who were hidden among the people stood up and shouted.
Soon, the people on the street also returned to their homes in a hurry, closing their doors and daring not to go out.
There were also some people who packed up their gold and silver and were about to flee Gaotai City overnight. However, before they could go out, there was rumbling horseshoes on the street, and a large number of prairie wolves had already entered the city.
