Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 698 Strategic Mistake
In September [-] AD, major changes took place in the raging battles in the Far East. After nearly a month of shrinking defenses, the Hanhai Army stationed in the Far East has recovered from the initial state of chaos and successive failures. , and burst out a strong fighting force.

The army of the Hanhai Empire once made great contributions to the empire by going to the south for hundreds of battles. However, their 80 elites were scattered on thousands of square kilometers in the Far East, and their strength was a bit stretched. I was caught off guard.

However, the commanders at all levels of the Hanhai Army are experienced people. Faced with the out-of-control situation in the surrounding areas, they decisively gave up the land they had occupied, and implemented active shrinkage and retreat to preserve their vitality.

It has to be said that the ideas of these generals of Hanhai coincide with those of Marshal Simon of Hanhai. Although they have lost 40 to [-] elite troops, they still have hundreds of thousands of brave and skilled soldiers, and now they have become a powerful army. fist.

Facing the out-of-control situation in the Far East, the Hanhai Empire urgently dispatched 30 elite frontier troops to rush day and night to the battlefield in the Far East.

After Hanhai's 30 elite border guards arrived in De'an Province, they ran into the main forces of the Second and Third Group Armies of the Far East Uprising Army head-on. The enemies were extremely jealous when they met, and a battle broke out between the two sides without saying a word.

The border guards of the Hanhai Empire were ordered to suppress the uprising of the untouchables in the Far East, so they saw that the Far East uprising army was coming, so they did not stop doing anything, and immediately dispatched troops and generals to launch a fierce attack.

The second and third armies of the Far East Uprising Army have a total strength of 1 people. However, because they have not undergone strict military training, the troops are uneven. The marching teams of the two armies are very long. The armies were engaged, and the rear guard was still hundreds of miles away.

It is precisely because of the looseness of the Far East rebel army that the border guards of the Hanhai Empire took advantage of it from the very beginning. The strength of the 30 elite border guards should not be underestimated. After all, they once beat the barbarians to their knees and begged for mercy. Yes, in the face of these insurgents composed of farmers, they really didn't pay attention.

The Hanhai defense force rushed all the way, and directly defeated the three forward armies of the Far East Second and Third Army. The Far East Rebel Army lost more than [-] troops. This is the biggest loss since the war began. His morale was dealt a great blow.

Zhao Yun, the commander of the Far East Uprising Army, was very annoyed by the defeat of the three vanguard armies. Knowing that the opponent only had 30 people, he commanded the main forces of the second and third groups to immediately outflank and attack the 30 men without hesitation. Wan Hanhai's army devoured it in one bite to avenge the striker's loss.

How did the Hanhai defense forces expect that they would poke a hornet's nest? They chased and chased the Far East rebel army for nearly a hundred miles, and suddenly found that there were more and more Far East rebel troops in their surrounding area. They felt bad. There is no going back in time.

The 30 border guards in Hanhai had to retreat to a land less than [-] kilometers away to fight fiercely with the second and third armies of the Far East. Facing the tide-like attack of the Far East uprising army, the living space of the border guards of the Hanhai Empire was constantly being compressed and lost. It is also continuously increasing.

"Never stop day and night, wipe out all these wastes of the vast sea!"

Zhao Yun, the commander of the Far East Uprising Army, personally directed the attack on the 30 Han Seaside Defense Force. They not only wanted to win a huge victory and tell the generals of the army that his strategy was correct, but also hoped to pass a huge victory. The victory to improve his own prestige, thereby overwhelming the Chief of Staff, Mu Xue, so he is bound to win this battle of annihilation.

However, the border guards of the Hanhai Empire are also a battle-tested army. Although they crashed into the encirclement of the main force of the Far East rebel army, they did not panic at all. The Hanhai army came to the rescue.

From September [-]th to September [-]th, the Far East Uprising Army carried out countless large-scale attacks on the besieged Hanhai Defense Army positions. The smelly and hard stone, the Far East rebel army suffered huge losses and still couldn't chew it off.

"Turn up the Eighth Army, and the No.13 Army is ready." Commander Zhao Yun's eyes were red at the moment, watching each of the flag regiments, the regiments rushed up, and then countless wounded soldiers were sent down. He still gritted his teeth and persisted. attacking.

The 30 border guards of the Hanhai Empire who were besieged have become trapped beasts at this moment. They know that if they can't hold their positions, they will not even have bones left in the face of millions of crazy Far East rebels, so They also fought desperately, fighting with their lives against the Far East rebels who were attacking.

Zhao Yun, the commander of the Far East Uprising Army, is desperately trying to eat the 30 border guards of the Hanhai Empire to prove the correctness of his strategy and to enhance his prestige among the Far East Uprising Army. into the abyss of war.

The second and third armies of the Far East have been attacking the 30 border guards in Hanhai for a week. The army fought, but in the end their morale continued to decline, and their charge did not achieve the expected effect at all.

In just one week of offensive and defensive battles, Hanhai's elite border guards lost more than 11 people, while the losses of the Far East Uprising Army were several times more than theirs. The lack of food and grass and loose military discipline made the second and third armies of the Far East Uprising Army lose their combat effectiveness.

However, the commander seemed determined to use up all the troops in his hands, and ordered the army to attack around the clock. Regardless of the heavy casualties of the soldiers, he was already red-eyed. He didn't believe that he would leave the chief of staff Mu Xue. Can't win the battle, he can't wait to prove himself now.

The Far East Rebel Army commanded by Zhao Yun continued to siege the Hanhai Empire's 30 frontier guards, but in another direction, the Battle of Bath initiated by the First Far East Army was drawing to a close.

The 50 Hanhai army commanded by Marshal Simon fought fiercely with the First Far East Army in the province of Bath. On the long line of defense, the coordinated combat capabilities of the Far East army were more than one level behind the speed of advance and retreat of the Hanhai army. Relying on the superiority of numbers, the tie was barely maintained.

But on September 15, the [-] Hanhai light cavalry seized the opportunity to pass through the gap between the fifth and sixth army defense lines of the First Far East Army, and circled around the back of the First Far East Army.

However, when the First Far East Army was still attacking the city of Bath, 15 Hanhai light cavalry came from behind. The First Far East Army, which had been fighting fiercely for several days, was caught off guard. The Third Corps of the Army Group.

As the Third Army was defeated by the Hanhai light cavalry, like a chain reaction, the Far East uprising army on the long line of defense learned that the Hanhai army was coming behind them, and immediately fell into worry and panic. Under the circumstances of the order, they have already begun to withdraw from the defense line by themselves, and they have messed up their positions.

The Far East First Army has a huge army of nearly 70 troops. Although it has a large number of troops, the chaos of the command system makes it impossible for the army's orders to reach the grassroots troops.

Facing the surprise attack from the back of the vast sea cavalry, the group commander Du Xuan originally wanted to mobilize the troops of the two legions to wipe out the vast sea cavalry, but when the order was passed to the grassroots troops, it had become the first group army and was surrounded by the vast sea army Among them, the entire army was required to retreat.

The troops under the First Group Army began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the Hanhai Army took the opportunity to cover up and kill them. When Commander Du Xuan wanted to command the troops to stabilize their positions, all the troops were already in chaos, and eventually turned into a big battle. rout.
