After Suvorov learned that the ancient city of Bam had been lost, he knew that nothing could be done. Once the ancient city of Bam was lost, there was not much suspense in the entire Kerman battle. Although the Tang army on the opposite side retreated step by step, its resilience could be called Suvorov's. Love has rarely been seen in decades of war. Among Suvorov, only the so-called "Rhein Rubber" army of the Augsburg Empire can be compared.
The power of our own heavy cavalry has been exerted to the extreme, but the opponent seems to be getting stronger with each battle. Every inch of land and every sand dune seems to be turned into a fatal trap. The Tang army used their complicated defense methods to the extreme. , Suvorov could no longer imagine what else in the world they couldn't use, and the defensive methods he knew were finally verified by the Tang army on the opposite side.
Of course, the Tang Army did not just rely on what he considered to be mere heretical means to withstand its own attacks. The tenacious style of the opposing soldiers was also commendable, and the combat effectiveness of their infantry was far from being as ordinary as he had initially predicted. At this point, Suvorov had to admit that Li Wufeng was able to sweep across the Eastern Continent not just by relying on the nomadic cavalry on the Tengger Grassland. Of course, he was able to start from scratch and had his own unique skills. This was particularly shocking to him later on when Gaoyue's heavy armored infantry dared to openly challenge their own heavy armored cavalry, confronting the charge of their own armored cavalry, and actually giving their own heavy armored cavalry a blow. The cavalry caused unprecedented damage, and the spear-throwing array constructed by the opponent's spearmen simply became a nightmare for the heavy-armored cavalry, so much so that many heavy-armored cavalry who survived this crazy battle woke up from their sleep. Everyone was chanting "Throw the gun! Throw the gun! Damn the gun!" This made Suvorov realize for the first time that the strength of the Tang army was even more troublesome than all imagined.
The enemy on the opposite side could not be defeated in a short period of time, and the 30,000-strong Spartan First Corps that passed through Fahan seemed to have encountered an attack by those damn Yakuan nomadic tribes in Fahan Province and was delayed in its reinforcements. Wolof also knew that the Spartan Corps and the Derphes Corps were actually not very interested in the war in India. The reason why the Derphes Corps and the Spartan Corps were used this time was not because of the heads of state. A consensus was reached, but in order to prevent the three major alliance countries of the Duchy of Hanover from suffering too much loss in this war, the alliance sent 100,000 reinforcements to ensure that the later negotiations could have a satisfactory outcome.
Suvorov got the news from a friend of his in the Allied Fiscal and Taxation Administration. After receiving this information, Suvorov had given up trying to continue the war. Now that it has been determined that the problem will be solved through negotiation, continuing the war is nothing more than a weight in the negotiation. Suvorov is extremely tired of this kind of thing. He does not want to see innocent soldiers fighting for big shots again. Doing something that has already been decided is a waste of time.
Zhan Botao woke up from his sleep again, jumped up suddenly, and the saber that had been resting on his pillow was already in his hand, with the blade half out of its sheath. There was a bit of murderous intent and fishy smell, but the tent seemed very quiet, as if nothing had happened. Zhan Botao shook his head. He didn't know if it was a scene in his sleep or something unusual he heard. Zhan Botao now became very agitated while sleeping. If there was any slight disturbance, he would fall into a state of extreme tension. The pressure he was under was too great.
Now, for the first time, he has shouldered the heavy responsibility of being alone and encountered such an unprecedented and cruel battle. The Hanoverian armored cavalry put so much pressure on Zhan Botao that he almost had to clench his fists every time he faced the opponent's charge. It seems that only in this way can he transmit his whole body's strength to the infantry who are carrying the enemy's cavalry charge on the front line.
The First Division can no longer be used as a secret weapon, because they have to assume the role of blocking the enemy frontally. The remaining divisions suffered heavy losses under the enemy's iron cavalry that rushed like fire and roared like thunder. Only the First Division The division, this pure Gaoyue people's heavy infantry division is the real backbone of the defense. Only they, only they can proudly face the sweeping cavalry without retreating even half a step, just like facing the roaring rocks of the waves. Every impact is replaced by splashing waves.
The Gaoyue people not only shocked the Hanoverians, but also touched Zhan Botao like never before. When those Gaoyue people shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!", they bravely faced the iron hooves and long swords that were coming towards them. When the spear advances bravely. Zhan Botao couldn't help but burst into tears. He believed that if His Majesty the Emperor were here, he would burst into tears.
When the spear is inserted into the chest of Gaoyue soldiers with unparalleled momentum, they will not fall easily. The giant ax or heavy sword in their hands will often hit or penetrate the enemy's body at the same time, exchanging life for life, fighting for life. This is the purpose of Gao Yue's soldiers, but how much courage and fighting spirit this requires. Whenever he sees this scene, Zhan Botao always feels that the empire has no puppets except the Gao Yue people. He has already decided in his heart that no matter what the outcome of this battle is, as long as he still has breath, he must tell the emperor about Gao Yue's situation. The heroic performance and huge sacrifice of the soldiers in this war must make His Majesty the Emperor and the leaders of the Government Affairs Council and Privy Council understand how much the Gaoyue people have contributed to the great cause of the empire!
After sitting on the bedside and thinking for a long time, Zhan Botao was awakened by the sound of rapid footsteps outside the tent. Hearing the rapid footsteps, Zhan Botao's heart tightened for no reason. He had been touched by this many times. The bad news brought by these footsteps made him a little nervous. Zhan Botao didn't want his general to leave a bad impression in front of his subordinates. He had to work hard to cheer up and encourage his subordinates every time, so that he could be seen by his subordinates. He is always a confident and energetic general. Only in this way can the soldiers feel comfort.
"Sir, there is something strange happening to the enemy troops on the opposite side!" The huffing and puffing of breath showed that the intelligence officer who had just rushed in was probably shocked by the sudden news.
"Don't panic. When soldiers come, water comes and earth covers them. Is it possible that the enemy's attacks have not stopped after so long? Order the first division to be on guard, and the direct divisions to enter the position to assist in the defense. The fifth division spreads its two wings and pays attention to protection! " Thinking that the enemy was preparing to attack the camp again under the cover of darkness, Zhan Botao became a little numb. Anyway, he refused to retreat even half a step, no matter how the opponent charged. The worst he could do was to lead the reserve team himself. At this point in the battle, he no longer had much fear. No, the worst is to die. I am used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield, so I have become accustomed to it, and I have become much less concerned about my own life and death.
"Huh? No, sir, the situation seems a bit strange. Scouts in several directions reported that the enemy seems to be retreating, but there is nothing unusual in the enemy camp in front." Intelligence officer Qiqi Ai Ai replied, this news is undoubtedly It was shocking good news, but with our own side now at an absolute disadvantage, it seemed impossible that the enemy would retreat inexplicably. Even the intelligence officer himself had some doubts about the accuracy of the news, but several scouts simultaneously Reflecting this situation, he did not dare to suppress it without authorization.
"Oh?" Standing up suddenly, Zhan Botao almost grabbed the intelligence officer and asked him carefully, but he soon realized his gaffe, coughed hard, suppressed his excitement, and sat back He said slowly: "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"
When the intelligence officer explained the findings of several scouts in detail, Zhan Botao no longer doubted the authenticity of the news. The Hansen Allied Forces dispersed their troops. This was a fact, but why did they disperse? As of now, Zhan Botao Without receiving news from the rear, he naturally had no way of knowing that the ancient city of Bam had been captured by the Eastern Front Group, and that the 30,000 men of the Hanoverian First Corps had also been annihilated. He also did not know the fate of the two provinces of Kerman and Fahan. The Kufu nomadic tribe had already raised the banner of rebellion under the instigation of the empire's intelligence department and foreign ministry, attacking the supply lines and supply strongholds of the Hansen Alliance. He did not even know that the top leaders of the Hansen Alliance had decided to avoid a full-scale conflict with the Tang Dynasty. The intention is to use negotiation as the main means to resolve disputes, but one thing is certain. The Hansen Alliance must have dispersed its troops for some reason. How should our own side respond now
Just sit back and watch? Zhan Botao felt that this seemed a bit conservative. It seemed unlikely that the enemy would have the intention to lure the enemy deeper at this time, so why not take advantage of the situation to pursue them? Zhan Botao also felt that it was a bit risky. The panic shown by the other party seemed a bit artificial. No matter what happened behind them, at least on this battlefield, the enemy still had the advantage. They could do all kinds of things calmly and calmly. Preparing to retreat steadily, the reaction of the scouts seemed to be that the enemy deliberately put on a posture of fleeing hastily. It was not in line with common sense for the opponent to show it for so long.
Abnormality means conspiracy. Zhan Botao is not the kind of person who wants to take advantage of the sky. Let's not talk about whether his side has the ability to pursue him. The other party has at least 20,000 heavy cavalry, which is a force that cannot be underestimated. Killer, even if the enemy really retreats with the whole army, they can still use heavy cavalry as an ambush. Whoever has the opportunity to make a frontal charge to break through, I am afraid that the already exhausted Tang army may not be able to withstand such a blow. Zhan Botao didn't want to ignore the rash advance. At this time, he would rather be cautious and conservative. The current southern cluster could no longer withstand any hardships.
