C159 Make a Dumpling
Early in the morning, the sun had already started to shine on the land of the early wilderness. In the tents that stretched for dozens of miles, there was smoke coming from the kitchen. As the food supply of Conquering Army, the food of Sanjiang and the beef jerky in the west had always been very good. The soldiers of Conquering Army were very satisfied with the food in the army. At least, it was already very good to be able to eat this kind of food during the war.
However, before they could eat, the sound of the sky shaking could be heard from all directions.
A scout hurriedly climbed onto the watchtower. He couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. When did a few miles of flat line wall start to move towards Conquering Army's camp? The arrival of hundreds of thousands of cavalry had made the scout who was just at the back of the army feel like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire camp. No one had expected that the enemy troops who were supposed to defend would take the initiative to attack. For a moment, the camp was filled with soldiers. Some of them did not even put on their armor, and some even ran to the tent with rice bowls in their hands. . .
Spark jumped up from the tent the moment he heard the alarm. When he heard the guards rushing over, he immediately knew what was going to happen. He hurriedly ordered the various commanders to take control of their troops and attack the enemy. The possibility of cavalry charging into the camp was not high. As long as they could withstand the chaos at the beginning, they could naturally attack the enemy from behind.
However, Spark had obviously underestimated Tianchen's determination to solve the problem. Just as the Conquering Army soldiers were guarding the camp with weapons, A few shrill sounds could be heard, seemingly firm and firm. The wooden fence and wooden door that had been processed by water and fire magic were blown to the sky by a few earth-shattering explosions. For a moment, the basic defenses of many camps were broken through by these explosions. Only the soldiers of Conquering Army who were at a loss were left behind.
Tianchen held the missile launcher and smiled as he looked at his masterpiece. A dozen or so plane explosive missiles had solved the goal of breaking through camps that ordinary advanced magic could not achieve. This physical attack was indeed very hard to defend against with magic, and the consequence of not being able to defend against it was that ordinary infantry would directly face the attack of cavalry!
How could the grassland cavalry give up such a good opportunity?
Under the lead of tens of thousands of cavalry, the 300,000 cavalry directly charged at the breakthrough point without the fence and began a series of slaughter. Only when they encountered the heavy armored infantry of the Empire's Guard Legion that Spark urgently called over did they let it go and once again began to tear apart the ordinary infantry that reacted.
When Spark was about to use the heavy armored infantry regiment to push forward and take over the defense of the camp that had been broken through, a few more mournful sounds rang out. The side of the camp was also attacked by Tianchen's physical missile, but Sida's Magic Guidance Group was temporarily unable to do anything to the missile without any magic surges. They watched helplessly as another hundred thousand cavalry charged out from the side and once again carried out a bloody massacre on the side camp that had just left the heavy infantry defense.
When the front and the two sides were ravaged by the cavalry, Spark barely managed to split the Heavy Infantry Regiment into three parts to defend, barely managing to withstand the assault of nearly four hundred thousand cavalry.
The battle continued until noon. When the cavalry left, only the camp and more than one hundred thousand wounded soldiers were left. At this moment, Spark understood that Tianchen's Zhonghua City troops and Fourth Prince's troops had joined forces to deal with him.
After tidying up the wounded soldiers, Spark helplessly accepted the fact that nearly eighty thousand soldiers had died. More than a hundred thousand soldiers had died. He had no choice but to strengthen the defense of the camp to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
"Sir, I think we should retreat. The harassment of close to four hundred thousand cavalry is not something we can defend against without a large number of counter-attacking cavalry. As long as there is a mountain, there is no need to fear the lack of resources! When we return to the eastern territory, you can ask for more cavalry. We will fight with the enemy again! " The leader of the Augden family suggested.
Spark was a little hesitant, but facing the situation where the Magic Guidance Group could not suppress the Magic Group and did not have a large number of cavalry to fight back, This suggestion was indeed the best, but he, Spark, had his own bitterness. Not only did this strategic plan consume a huge amount of resources, but it had also amassed close to 900,000 soldiers. It also put down the last bit of honor he had left, if he did not get what he deserved. It would not take long for the entire continent to spread rumors that the Augden Golden family did not have a good reputation and deviated from the target of the attack, but instead tried to steal the chicken but failed to gain the rice. The soldiers and generals who had suffered heavy casualties returned with their tails between their legs.
Spark clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath. He helplessly nodded and agreed to this suggestion. There was a total of over seven hundred thousand soldiers in the army, and nearly two hundred thousand of them were injured. They left the camp on the second day.
However, very quickly, the scouts sent out from all directions came with extremely bad news. A large number of cavalry were still wandering around, looking for an opportunity for the army to succeed. What shocked Spark the most was that even the shadow of the infantry had been discovered. And the scale was not small, probably Fourth Prince's troops. The troops from Zhonghua City had come out in full force. A total of four hundred thousand infantry troops were rushing towards the Conquering Army's encirclement at an extremely fast speed. However, the Conquering Army, which did not have a lot of cavalry, could not do anything to these soldiers who were rushing forward. They were facing the cavalry who were waiting by the side. The soldiers of the Conquering Army could only hide under the protection of the heavy armored infantry.
A strange atmosphere enveloped the army of the Conquering Army. The news of the Conquering Army being wiped out slowly spread among the soldiers of the Conquering Army.
The Empire's guard army consisted of a heavy armored infantry formation and a light armored infantry formation. The infantry mixed formation and the other direct troops did not display their true colors. They were also at a loss when faced with the encirclement of the army. However, as the elite troops of the Empire, after the orders from their superiors, they did not continue to secretly send out such news like the ordinary soldiers. All of them remained silent, but everyone could see the uneasiness in their hearts.
Of course, Spark could see the atmosphere. What caused this situation was the cavalry that had the absolute advantage in the area. These cavalry that could attack but could not be caught were the biggest headache for Spark in Conquering Army. It was also where the weakness of Conquering Army was. It did not decrease because of the existence of the fifty thousand elite cavalry of the empire's guard army.
Tianchen's united army drove the Conquering Army to a place near the eastern territory of Great Wilderness like a sheep. After another hundred and thirty miles, they would reach a small city in the eastern territory. The Conquering Army, who was harassed by the cavalry day and night, could receive support and rest there.
However, how could Tianchen let them cross the lifeline of this hundred and thirty miles?
When Spark got a large number of troops in front of him, there were no less than five hundred thousand of them. Spark finally understood that his plan seemed to have been seen through from the beginning, and had fallen into someone else's scheme.
The First Prince's personal arrival had also surprised Tianchen. The three divisions of the Western Army had actually passed through Second Prince's surveillance and become the last knife to make dumplings. This made Tianchen feel that the military talent of Wekliff was truly extraordinary. Tianchen had originally thought that Wekliff would only be able to bring a few hundred thousand troops over to make up the numbers, but he had never expected that he would be so interested in this counterattack. Not only was there the main force of the Western Army Corps, but there were also 250 thousand border defense troops. None of them could be resisted by the newly recruited ordinary recruits.
When the combined force exceeded 1. 3 million, there were two main infantry formations of the Western Army Corps, one main cavalry formation, Tianchen's main force formation, 300 thousand grassland cavalry, and 100 thousand southern cavalry formations, the result could be imagined.
Without any suspense, the Conquering Army led a portion of the Empire's guard cavalry and some infantry troops to escape from the encirclement. The remaining 500 thousand soldiers were split up and destroyed by the combined army. The three parties also obtained shocking amounts of prisoners. Just Tianchen alone obtained close to 200 thousand prisoners.
As soon as the Conquering Army was destroyed, Tianchen immediately used the excuse of defending the Zhonghua City's emptiness to escort the remaining 200 thousand cavalry and a division of infantry troops back to Gode Fortress with more than 100 thousand prisoners.
Wekliff originally wanted to "have a good chat" with Tianchen, but Tianchen did not fall for this trick. With the deterrence of the cavalry, Wekliff did not force Tianchen and allowed him to leave.
Before Tianchen left the battlefield for more than a day, the army of Wilkliff had a huge battle with the troops led by Bordeli. Bordeli was at a disadvantage and was only a new recruit. He had to give up a large number of prisoners and escape to the southern territory with less than 300,000 troops.
However, as Tianchen had guessed, Wilkliff started to attack the eastern territory of Great Wilderness, which lacked a large number of defensive forces. After obtaining control over several cities, he had completely connected the city chains that had originally stood out in the Great Wilderness Corridor. If there was a next time, like the Conquering Army's plan this time, it would be impossible for them to take down another stronghold and obtain a prefecture of land.
Tianchen began to comb through the prisoners and began another plan to turn them into soldiers. The three hundred thousand grassland cavalry were directly organized into two cavalry divisions and directly belonged to the newly formed wilderness legion. Only less than seventy thousand old and weak soldiers were lost. Tianchen generously waved a large amount of gold coins and sent them back to the grassland under their excited eyes.
Seeing that less than seventy thousand of the three hundred thousand elite cavalry had returned, the Great Grassland Alliance's chief, Hetty, wanted to cry but had no tears. However, he could only swallow the bitter fruit. The grassland tribes had long been completely infiltrated by Zhonghua City. He was only a puppet with him, the chief. It was Tianchen who pitied him for being able to obtain large amounts of gold coins.
