The Hanhai army suddenly crossed the sea by boat and attacked the Jiangnan province of the Far East Empire. The rice grain land in the south was in crisis.
Li Lang, Marshal of the Empire, who was on the northeast front line, knew that although the emperor Chen Ziang did not dictate the war on the front line, he must be under great pressure now.
After all, a large number of elite soldiers and generals of the Far East Empire have been transferred to the northeast battlefield. If the northeast battlefield can solve the enemy as soon as possible, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the empire.
Li Lang and Li Qiye are naturally aware of the crisis the empire is facing. Once the south is lost, the empire will be pulled from the bottom.
The situation of the imperial army without money and food support will become more and more difficult at that time, so ending the stalemate war as soon as possible has become a top priority.
As long as the Northeast War is over, a large number of troops will be able to free up their hands to deal with the Hanhai Empire with all their strength.
At the same time, the empire will also avoid fighting on several fronts at the same time to ease the logistical pressure.
So Li Lang and the others immediately made a decision to strengthen their offensive against the enemy in front of them.
The army in the Far East has always maintained a defensive posture, and the main attack is concentrated on the rear of the Holy See army.
Now Yuan Jie's Twelfth Cavalry Corps has opened up the situation behind the enemy lines, and now the Far East Empire is facing a crisis again, so Li Lang and his main front force have also changed from defense to offense.
At dawn, the Far East Army, which had been hiding behind the sandbag camp, suddenly left the camp and launched an attack on the enemy in front of it.
The army of the Holy See has been ordered to pack up and prepare to retreat the day after tomorrow.
But what they didn't expect was that instead of fighting the Far Easterners, the Far Easterners counterattacked them uncharacteristically.
When the trebuchet threw stones into their camp, the soldiers of the Holy See also yelled at the Far Eastern Army for not practicing martial arts!
Over the past two months, they have launched countless attacks on the Far Eastern Army. The Far Eastern Army has been hiding behind the sandbag camp, even if it is a coward.
Now they were about to retreat, but the Far Eastern Army suddenly came to the door, and the soldiers of the Skitarii were so angry that they cursed.
However, the curse turned into a curse, and the Far East Army attacked them. While cursing, they hurriedly assembled to prepare for the battle.
Perhaps it was the past few months that had suffocated the Far Eastern Army, and the stone bombs thrown by the trebuchets smashed the outer skitaris camps to pieces.
Before the cathars were assembled, the arrows poured down like a storm.
Under the coverage of more than ten consecutive waves of arrows, the Skitarii camp has become densely packed like a hedgehog.
The arrows pierced through the tent and the body of the soldier, and even the ground was covered with arrows embedded in the soil, so densely packed that it made one's scalp numb.
The surviving Skitarii soldiers were also stunned by this powerful long-range weapon, and their faces turned pale when they saw their hedgehog-like companion die tragically on the spot.
But this is not over yet, followed by the roar of mountains and tsunami in the distance, and the rolling Far East Army offensive troops came surging in an overwhelming posture.
The camp of the Far East Army built ditches and sandbag fortifications, and it was well-defended. The cathars paid a bloody price for this.
However, the camp of the Skitarii was unbelievably crude, with only some simple fences and deer wood.
And under the slamming of the first wave of trebuchets, these places have been smashed and riddled with holes.
The elite infantry of the Far Eastern Army broke into the camp of the Skitarii without any effort, drowning the sparse survivors.
In just one morning, the fiercely offensive Far Eastern Army troops captured eleven camps of the Skitarii, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
If the Skitarii hadn't urgently dispatched a large number of troops to stop them, they would have lost more camps.
"Old Feng, something is wrong."
The vanguard of the Far East Army's attack was Feng Yang's 14th Field Army. After they occupied the camp, Zhu Yimao, the deputy head of the army, noticed something unusual.
"What's wrong?"
Legion Commander Feng Yang was arranging the afternoon offensive mission for several Banner Commanders. When he saw Zhu Yimao, the Deputy Commander, approaching, he also raised his head.
"I took a look in the camp and found that many things of the Skitarii had been loaded into the carriage, and the things of the soldiers in the tent were also packed." Zhu Yimao told the regiment commander Feng Yang about this discovery.
"Well, is there such a thing?"
As a front-line commander, Feng Yang was all focused on destroying the enemy, so he really didn't notice this detail.
"Go and have a look."
Feng Yang also wanted to confirm it himself, so he immediately took several banner commanders and deputy army commander Zhu Yimao into the dilapidated tents of the cathars.
Indeed, as Zhu Yimao, the deputy commander of the regiment, said, the cataracts are packing their luggage, and some things have already been loaded into the car.
It's just that they didn't expect that the Far Eastern Army would suddenly turn into a counterattack. As a result, they were killed before they could evacuate from the battlefield, and the camp was occupied by the Far Eastern Army.
"Looking at them, is this going to be withdrawn?"
Seeing that in the occupied camp, the Skitarii had packed all their luggage, Feng Yang also realized that something was wrong.
"Interrogate the prisoners immediately!"
Feng Yang immediately gave instructions to a combat staff behind him.
"Master Legion, we have not caught any prisoners." The combat staff replied.
"Originally some were caught, but they refused to surrender and were all slaughtered." The combat staff added.
The soldiers of the Holy See are notorious for being fierce and not afraid of death. Sometimes there are only a few of them left, and they are still struggling.
The Far Eastern Army has never been polite to these crazy Holy See soldiers. Since they do not surrender, they will be resolutely eliminated.
"Master Legion, we found this in their camp."
At this time, the intelligence staff came over with a stack of documents in his hand.
"This is an order from their Marshal Caesar last night, asking them to pack their bags and evacuate with the Fifth Army at noon the day after tomorrow." The intelligence staff submitted an order to the army chief Feng Yang.
"It seems that they really want to run away."
After Feng Yang got the news that the Holy See's army was about to withdraw, he also went to report to Marshal Li Lang in person as soon as possible.
Li Lang, the marshal of the empire, actually got some information, that is, among the seized materials, the amount of food was very small, and he judged that the cathars should be running out of food.
Now from the side of Feng Yang's side, it is confirmed that the Skitarii is indeed at the end of its rope, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"In the afternoon, the offensive will be strengthened, and Pang Biao's Second Army will also attack."
Now that the cathars wanted to withdraw, Li Lang was naturally very happy. This was exactly what he wished for.
You must know that to attack the enemy who is sticking to the camp and the enemy who is in motion, it is definitely easier to fight the enemy in motion.
After all, without the shelter of the camp, it is like water without roots, and the enemy is more likely to be defeated and wiped out by them.
He ordered to intensify the offensive against the Skitarii, and also wanted the attack to be the last straw that crushed the Skitarii, causing them to retreat hastily.
