Chapter 976: "·Border confrontation"


The good deeds you do today are often forgotten tomorrow; however, you still have to do good deeds.
Sister Teresa (a world-renowned Catholic charity worker who established the Renai Missionary Church)
Roderick's personal battle, the brave rush of 38,000 Lucy cavalry, and the attack of 20,000 Lucy elite soldiers took advantage of the situation; the Luxi army, which had almost all the advantages, successfully defeated the cannon fodder of the Eastern League South Road Army, but Failed to disperse their main force.
The main force of the Eastern League South Road Army is composed of 50,000 soldiers with extremely rich actual combat experience. They are not panicked when responding to the Lucy cavalry charge; even if the opponent's cavalry has rushed to their eyes, their formation is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Faced with such a difficult opponent, Roderick, who has the advantage of cavalry, has no way. He can’t use his light cavalry to rush into the densely arranged infantry clusters of the enemy? That was a stupid act of self-seeking.
Rodric, unwilling to give up on this, finally could not help launching a tentative offensive; as a result, his cavalry not only failed to tear the enemy's dense defense line, but left after losing the mobility advantage Nearly 5,000 corpses were found.
After such a failed attempt, Roderick, whose number of cavalry dropped to 30,000, no longer hesitated. He took his cavalry and bypassed the main force of the enemy, and once again surrendered to the enemy's cannon foes who were still fighting. Assault.
In the past, there were 20,000 Luxi elite soldiers who attacked continuously, and then 30,000 Luxi cavalry charged. The cannon fodder, whose fallen soldiers had reached one third of the total army, once again came to the brink of collapse.
This time, thousands of warriors behind them had been dispelled by the Lucy cavalry who had been rushed from behind; the cannon foe soldiers who had lost the supervision of the war team were finally unable to control after the Luci cavalry had penetrated them for the third time. The whole army collapsed!
The cannon fodder soldiers who were so guilty that they knew that the moment they turned around, their backs would be exposed to the sword of the enemy, but they still chose to turn around and escape; because of escape, at least there is a line of survival Hope, isn't it?
Knowing that he could not defeat the main force of the enemy, Roderick ordered his cavalry to launch a round of pursuit of the enemy's defeated enemy cannon fodder; he then led his army of stepped riders, Turn around and go back.
If you want to entangle the army of the Eastern League South Road in the army of Lucy, and want to pursue the actively retreating Roderick headquarters, you must first clean up the cannon fodder that blocked their progress; however, seven or eighty thousand are like a headless flies. Soldiers can't be cleaned up in a while.
Not surprisingly, the 50,000 main force of the Eastern League South Road Army, even before dark, was difficult to complete the task of collecting the collapsed cannon fodder; otherwise, how could Roderick take the bold and direct withdrawal of the troops?
While Roderick led the army to block the Eastern Union South Road Army northward, the 60,000 Lucy warriors responsible for resisting the Eastern Union North Road Army southwards also used a hearty victory to curb the Eastern Union North Road Army southwards.
The Eastern Union North Road Army, composed of 50,000 soldiers and 100,000 cannon fodder, launched twelve attacks against the Lucy fighters who blocked them; after losing their troops, they failed to break through the defense line of the Lucy fighters, and even the proportion of casualties on both sides Once reached an amazing five to one!
By the time Roderick led his army back to the battlefield, the Hall Department had completed the siege of the remaining Maren army; the swaying Maren Department had 250,000 troops, and it was only four days before Rodri The Luci border forces of Kerr and Hall were completely annihilated!
The 250,000 troops of the Eastern League Mullen Army, the more than 80,000 cannon fodder of the Eastern Union South Road Army, and the more than 60,000 cannon fodder of the Eastern Union North Road Army; Rodriguez and Hall, four days in the battle Destroy the 400,000 troops of the Eastern League!
And the price they paid for this was that 40,000 cavalry soldiers in the 300,000 frontiers of Luxi were killed in 10,000, 110,000 elite warriors were killed in more than 70,000, and 152,000 second-line soldiers were killed in nearly 90,000; the total army was killed in total 170,000 soldiers, remaining 100,000 soldiers and 30,000 cavalry.
The data in front of Roderick and Hall looks encouraging, but it really makes them feel helpless; because there are 350,000 unarmed troops in the Eastern League, and their 130,000 steps are riding The army is a tired teacher who has worked hard for so long.
Although in today's battle, they rushed to block the offensive of the Eastern and Southern Army of the Eastern League before dark, but sooner or later they will come; tomorrow morning, the Eastern and Southern Army of the Eastern and Southern Routes will complete their attack on them. The encirclement of the army.
The night with high moon and dark wind is not only a valuable breathing opportunity for the exhausted army of Lucy to rest, but also a stumbling block that prevents them from evacuating the battlefield. The barbarian warriors, who generally suffer from night blindness, cannot do anything in the dark night.
Lighting a torch to illuminate the dark night, and then retreating at night is also a way; but the lit torch will not only illuminate the dark night, but will also attract the Eastern Alliance troops to pursue. Chaos at night.
Rodrique and Hall, who rarely fought for a rest night, did not intend to engage in a fierce fight with the Eastern Alliance troops at night; they withdrew to the barracks while squeezing their time to arrange for the rest of their soldiers, on the other side was a large number Send cavalry for help.
As early as four days ago, after receiving the report of the cavalry sent by Hall, Roderick sent the military cavalry learned by Hall to the rear; at that time, Roderick did not know that the battle between the two armies would be so fierce, and the casualties It will be so heavy.
The loss of soldiers will be as high as 170,000, forcing Rodrik and Hall, who has only 130,000 tired teachers, to ask the tribal leader Viriasius for help; after all, the Eastern Alliance has not yet entered the battle. The army, there are as many as 350,000!
It takes at least three days for the cavalry to speed up from the military camp on the border of western Luke to the camp where its leader Viriasius is located. When Viriasius knows the situation on the front line and sends reinforcements to the front line, That's what happened after half a month.
The crux of the matter is, can the 130,000 tired teachers of Roderick and Hall block the half-moon offensive of the Eastern Conference's 350,000 troops? You know, the battle between the two armies for the previous four days directly caused the death of nearly 600,000 soldiers!
No matter how much Rodriguez and Hall did not want the dawn to come, the first rays of the morning light still shined into their barracks; the arrival of the new day meant for the soldiers of the Luxi Army who had taken a rest overnight Another battle is about to begin.
A few days ago, the battlefield was full of hundreds of thousands of corpses of soldiers of the two armed forces. It was no longer suitable to continue as a battlefield; therefore, instead of leaving the barracks, Roderick and Hall planned to stay on the barracks. Ways to increase defense time.
To the surprise of Roderick and Hall, the Eastern and Southern Army of the Eastern Alliance, who really came together, after completing the encirclement of their barracks, only left 100,000 main fighters to continue to surround, and the other artillery forces were surrounded. Send to clean up the battlefield.
It’s undoubted that there must be a demon if something goes wrong, but Roderick and Hall can’t really guess what the Eastern Alliance’s purpose is; but anyway, the longer the time is, the better for them, so The two armies confronted each other with the military camp as their boundary.
