Chapter 774: Ma Teng dies in battle

The breakthrough road of the First Army of the Praetorian Guard is a tragic road made of blood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info along the way there are dedications, there are sacrifices, there are life and death.

There are people falling, and people are breaking through.

On the battlefield of swords and swords, no individual can decide their own fate alone. The soldiers can only twist into a rope and decide the survival of the individual through teamwork.

Everywhere on the battlefield of Nuoda, the drama of breakthrough and interception, encirclement and suppression and counter-encirclement and suppression is staged.

The battle shook the sky, and the blood flowed like a river.

From time to time, you can hear the screams of the ironclad beasts.

The battlefield is dusty and steaming, like a furnace of heaven and earth, refining the fate of hundreds of thousands of people.

Huo Qubing personally led the Fifth Division to rush all the way, and finally broke out of the Allied defense line under the opening of the Iron Beast Division, under the cover of the Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Division and the Ma Teng Division.

"Can't let Huo Qu escape!"

The Allies did not give up, sending their most elite cavalry units in pursuit.

The pursuing cavalry rode on elite Mongol horses, comparable to the Janissary Guard's frog horses. In desperation, Huo Qubing could only open the [Riding Battle] specialty.

Cavalry Combat: Increases the morale of cavalry units by 30%, increases the movement speed of cavalry units by 50%, increases the lethality of cavalry units by 35%, and increases the endurance of cavalry units by 40%.

The specialty of the gods is to defy the sky, and they will open up the gap between each other at once.

But the allies are not vegetarians, they are like a pack of hunting dogs, biting behind the Praetorian Guards, with a great sense of not chasing and killing to the end, and vowing not to give up.

The Praetorian Guards fled for a day and a night, except for a little urgent repair for three hours during the night, and did not dismount on the way. In this way, it was finally completely free from the pursuit of the enemy army.

The tragedy and helplessness in the process cannot be described in words.

…………

Dongchuan County, nameless wilderness.

"Stop moving forward and rest where you are!"

Huo Quzhi issued a second order to rest and recuperate, because he noticed that even with the strength of the green worm horse, such a continuous ride was already foaming at the mouth, and it was about to be unable to support it.

"Brush!" of a bit.

The marching army immediately stopped, and its movements were still uniform and not out of shape in the slightest.

The soldiers didn't care about the wounds that were still bleeding, silently took out the water bottle in their backpacks, fed the war horses with water first, and then handed over a military food pill. War horses are the lifeblood of knights, more important than their wives.

Seeing the horses foaming at the mouth, the knights were distressed.

As the strongest legion in the territory, the Praetorian Guard is treated the best. Take the military food pills as an example, among the field legions, only the Praetorian Guard military food pills are used as standard materials, and other legions do not have such treatment.

Fortunately, it is also fortunate that the military food pills are available, so that the Fifth Division can support until now. During the escape, the soldiers didn't even have time to get off their horses and eat, let alone bury the pot to cook.

As for the city that has already been conquered, they don't dare to enter it, who knows if there is an ambush inside.

When attacking Dongchuan County at the beginning, in order to achieve a quick victory, the Praetorian Guards hurried to the next city after solving the defenders of each city, and there was no time to exercise any effective control over the city.

At this time, the news of the defeat of the Praetorian Guards on the front line is afraid that it has spread all over the major cities of Dongchuan County, who knows what the people in the city are thinking.

At that time, the battlefield situation was urgent, and in order to successfully break through the siege, the grain, grass, baggage, siege equipment and even two P1 guns carried by the Praetorian Guards were abandoned on the battlefield and there was no time to take them away.

On the way to escape, the team responsible for transporting grain and grass also suffered, not only a large amount of grain and grass was intercepted by the enemy, but even the people who transported grain were slaughtered.

The Allies are a pack of hungry wolves, and they can also do it to the people.

When the soldiers of the garrison division responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass saw this, they gritted their teeth and simply let the people disperse on their own and fled into the wilderness of Dongchuan County, hoping to escape this catastrophe.

This ambush battle was tantamount to a disaster for Shanhai City.

…………

Huo Quzhi looked at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him, looking tired. Constantly opening the [Riding Battle] all the way, even for a god general like Huo Quzhi, is a very big load.

"Count how many people are left." Huo Qubing ordered the adjutant of the army.

"No!"

Soon, the situation of the various ministries was summed up.

Although the Iron Armored Beast Division is fierce, its endurance is not comparable to that of war horses. Even if they broke through, they were annihilated one by one under the pursuit of the enemy cavalry.

The Ma Teng Division, which was in charge of covering, fell directly into the encirclement and did not escape a single one. In the end, according to statistics, only more than 10,000 people really broke through, less than one division.

Huo Quzhi listened and was silent, he didn't know how to give an account to you.

Although this ambush battle was a flawed battle, and there was also a dereliction of duty on the part of the intelligence department, as the commander of the Left Route Army, he was also responsible for not doing a detailed reconnaissance before attacking Yongren City.

Otherwise, even if the allies lurked in Shu on the opposite side, they would not be able to suddenly cross the border and encircle the Praetorian Guard.

It is a shame that all the secret posts set up by the Praetorian Guard have been uprooted by the enemy.

"Return to Spirit Rhino City!"

After resting for two hours, Huo Quzhi ordered again. Dongchuan County can't stay any longer, and now it can only take one step at a time, rush back to the headquarters first, and then think about it in the long run.

Leaning slightly, the mighty cavalry disappeared into the wilderness.

************

Dongcheon-gun, Yeongin Castle.

In the evening of the same day, the siege and annihilation battle on the main battlefield had come to an end.

The battlefield was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

In this battle, in order to defeat the First Army of the Praetorian Guard, the Allies and the Coalition did not pay a price. In the end, the Allied forces lost more than 30,000 casualties, and the coalition forces also lost more than 40,000 casualties.

The Allied battle losses mainly occurred in the rear to intercept the breakthrough of the Ironclad Beast Division, while the losses of the Allied forces were basically caused by the two Mountain Barbarian hoplite divisions and the Ma Teng Division.

Of course, their final results were also quite rich.

In this battle, a total of more than 45,000 Praetorian Guards were killed and 15,000 were captured, which was considered to have achieved the expected goal. Even the veteran Ma Teng died on the battlefield.

The Praetorian Guard was a very fierce army, and even in that situation they would not surrender. The captured prisoners of war were basically captured helplessly when they were unable to resist.

Therefore, the prisoners were mainly cavalry.

In the later stages of the war, the mountain barbarian warriors basically started to go berserk, and they had put life and death out of the way. In the end, less than 2,000 people remained in the two mountain barbarian hoplite divisions. The captured mountain barbarians also let the enemy succeed because of the side effects of madness and the weakness of their whole body.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for the mountain barbarians to survive.

The mountain barbarians are so fanatical that they would rather die in battle than be captives, just like their ancestor Chi You, although vulgar, but a real man.

Wu Qi, the commander of the allied forces, looked at the battlefield full of devastation, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Praetorian Guard of Shanhai City really lives up to its reputation!" "It is appalling that the Praetorian Guard still accomplished such an astonishing killing under such adverse circumstances.

Although they won this battle, they "killed 800 enemies and lost 1,000 themselves". Therefore, after the war, there was no decisive change in the ratio of forces between the two warring parties.

Such a result was completely beyond Wu Qi's expectations.

Before the war, who would have thought that such an ending would be.

Of course, they won after all!

The greatest significance of this battle is not the comparison of forces, but the impact on the morale of the two warring sides.

Come to think of it, the most powerful Praetorian Guards in Shanhai City have been defeated by them, and for the allies and coalition forces, what are the other legions in Shanhai City afraid of?!

In this way, they have the strategic initiative.

On the contrary, the invincible army of Shanhai City, which has always been rumored, has encountered the biggest Waterloo in his life, and it is difficult to adjust in a short period of time.

The engagement on the main battlefield began to become favorable to the [Yunnan City-State].

"Let's go back!" Wu Qi ordered.

After hurriedly cleaning up the battlefield, the allied forces and the allied forces did not stay in Yongren City for a long time, and immediately teleported away, and the destination was Qin Feng's Tengchong City.

This arrangement shows that [Yunnan City-State] no longer wants to follow the rhythm of Shanhai City in terms of strategy. In the main battlefield set earlier, only 50,000 coalition troops were stationed.

I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in their gourd.

After the withdrawal of the army, the construction of Dongchuan County was temporarily handed over to the nearby Swordsman City. According to the agreement, Swordsman City will send 40,000 troops to take over the defense of the entire Dongchuan County.

"Selling Dongchuan County" was one of the agreements signed between the [Yunnan City-State] and the [Yanhuang League], and the entire battle plan had already been implemented a month ago.

In addition to this, Swordsman City also has a mission, which is to be responsible for guarding prisoners of war.

Also according to the agreement, all prisoners of war in the Battle of Yunnan will be divided by the [Yanhuang League], and the [Yunnan city-state] has no right to accept prisoners of war.

[Yan Huang Meng]'s style of doing things is still so domineering.

…………

With the withdrawal of the army, the lively city of Yongin returned to calm, except for the white bones outside the city, as if nothing had happened.

Anyone knows that this place is destined to become famous in the wilderness because of this ambush battle.

************

The news that the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard of Shanhai City was ambushed outside Yongren City and almost all the troops were wiped out soon spread throughout the wilderness, and the world was shaken.

According to the statistics of people with hearts, this is the worst defeat since Shanhai City gained a foothold in the wilderness. The loss was the most famous Praetorian Guard, and the topic was even more sufficient.

The whole forum was lively.

Even players in other districts are silently watching this epic battle.

All of a sudden, the voices of major media singing about Shanhaicheng continued to pour out. Many experts predict that the arrogant Shanhai City will carry a big heel on the battlefield in Yunnan.

Not to mention whether Shanhai City can take the [Yunnan City-State], whether it can escape is a question.

The haze over Yunnan ushered in the sun for the first time, and the dawn of victory seemed to be beckoning to the [Yunnan city-state].

In the eyes of experts, the direction of the war is already clear.
