Early in the morning, Lou Yi left Dayue Royal City.
The northern line has been confirmed.
attack!
There are 80,000 troops on the northern front, 60,000 of whom are elite soldiers, and 25,000 elite cavalry.
Moreover, after the Guifang's great defeat last year, they began to move into the Anda Basin in an all-out manner, which directly led to their route to the north becoming extremely smooth.
According to reliable sources, there are less than 30,000 Northern Army troops there.
The rest of the troops belonged to Mondo and Beimodo.
Neither Lou Yi nor Duilong Langri took these two troops seriously.
As long as they annihilated the enemy, their cavalry could move freely, without even having to carry food and fodder, and could rely on looting to quickly raid the horse grazing grasslands.
In this way, not only can the Northern Army be severely damaged, but Yun Zheng on the southern front can also be forced to lead his troops back to provide support.
...
...
In this way, the crisis of Dayue Kingdom was completely resolved.
If the Northern Army can still inflict heavy damage in the direction of Xing'an Fort, it will not dare to invade again within five years.
Moreover, it is also necessary to make the tribes in western Mo lose some manpower.
It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away!
Once the Kingdom of Dayue suffers heavy casualties, it may not be easy to ask the armies of the various tribes in the western desert to leave the territory of Dayue.
Therefore, it is necessary to let the northern line take the initiative!
Now, all matters concerning the attack have been handed over to Duilunglangri.
What he had to do was to defend the southern line and prevent the enemy from breaking through their defense line.
Just as Lou Yi was hurrying towards Turtleback City, a small group of cavalry appeared at the end of his sight.
Seeing the other party approaching, Lou Yi's guards immediately took a defensive stance.
“Dengdeng…”
Getting closer and closer.
When the small group of cavalry saw Lou Yi's flag, they immediately sped up and rushed over.
When Lou Yi saw the miserable state of this small group of cavalry, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Tietu stopped his horse about three meters away from Lou Yi, dismounted with his exhausted body, and stumbled towards Lou Yi.
“Your Highness!”
Tietu knelt down in front of Lou Yi with a thud, crying, "Turtleback City is lost!"
"What?"
Lou Yi felt dizzy and almost fell off the horse.
Turtleback City is lost?
How could Turtleback City be lost?
I was away for only a few days and Turtleback City was lost?
"You...say it again!"
Lou Yi tried hard to steady himself, dismounted and came in front of Tietu, grabbed Tietu's collar, and shouted ferociously: "Say it again! I ask you to say it again..."
Tietu's eyes turned red as he wailed, "Turtleback City... is lost!"
Lost!
I didn't hear it wrong.
Turtleback City is really lost!
That dizzy feeling came back again.
All the strength in Lou Yi's body seemed to be drained away in an instant.
Lou Yi weakly let go of Tie Tu's collar. He fell to the ground with a thud.
“Your Highness!”
Upon seeing this, the guards immediately stepped forward to help.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Lou Yi pushed away the guards who were supporting him like a madman, and looked at Tietu with a ferocious face, "How could Turtleback City be lost? Huh? Even if there were 30,000 pigs defending the city, the enemy army would not be able to break through Turtleback City so quickly!"
Tietu also fell to the ground, wailing as if he had lost his soul: "Your Highness, the enemy is using magic! They used thunder to blast open the city gate, and then took advantage of our unpreparedness to charge into the city..."
No one knew how their heavy city gates suddenly opened.
No one saw what the enemy used to break through the city gate.
Moreover, the enemy had only a small number of people rushing into the city gate, and it was impossible for them to carry any tools to break through.
But their sturdy city gate was easily broken.
With just a loud "bang", their city gate was broken.
Apart from magic, they really couldn't think of anything else.
Listening to Tietu's wailing, Lou Yi's head began to buzz again.
Black magic?
Fuck the magic!
If Yun Zheng’s people knew magic, what would they be doing long ago?
Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to simply use magic to kill all the defenders of Turtleback City?
At this moment, Lou Yi's mind was in chaos.
If Turtleback City is lost, Yiwu will soon be undefendable.
Let’s add the besieged Gule.
Their entire line of defense collapsed!
The defense line guarded by a hundred thousand troops was breached by the enemy in less than a month!
It’s over!
It's all over!
Lou Yi felt despair in his heart and pain on his face.
If he had known this would happen, he would have simply surrendered to Yun Zheng.
In that case, at least the Otsuki royal family can be preserved.
At the very least, Da Gan would at least give himself a title of duke or marquis.
Endless grief and anger came over him like a tidal wave, causing Lou Yi to feel so painful that he could hardly breathe.
After a long while, Lou Yi asked in a trembling voice: "How many people escaped?"
"I don't know, probably less than 3,000 people."
Tietu wailed: "I risked my life to lead the troops to break through, and some people must have been dispersed by the enemy..."
Hearing Tietu's words, Lou Yi's heart ached again.
Less than three thousand people!
"Ha ha……"
Lou Yi laughed out loud, but tears flowed out.
Thirty-three thousand troops!
The number of people who broke out was less than three thousand!
What the hell is this war?
The hundred years of accumulation of Dayue Kingdom was destroyed in an instant!
He has ambitions that no prince or ruler of several generations in Otsuki dares to have.
However, before he could take a single step, all his ambitions were shattered.
Just as Lou Yi was immersed in an endless feeling of desolation, the voice of the commander of the personal guards came to his ears: "Your Highness, let's quickly notify the army on the northern front to lead the troops back to support us!"
Come back to help?
Lou Yi smiled miserably.
How to get help?
At this time, the army on the northern front has probably begun to advance towards the enemy!
If they return to provide support at this time, they will definitely be attacked by the enemy!
Moreover, the one leading the troops over there is Duilong Langri, the leader of the Moxi tribes!
Once Duilong Langri learned that the southern line had been completely breached, he would inevitably worry that Yun Zheng's troops would go along Yiwu City and attack into the rear of the various tribes in western Mo, repeating the scene of last year.
At that time, Duilung Langri would definitely lead his troops to retreat to the border between the Moxi tribes and the Dayue Kingdom.
In this way, they will have to face Yun Zheng’s enemy forces on the south and north fronts alone!
With just these few defeated soldiers and no morale at all, how could they possibly stop the enemy forces from two directions?
By then, Duilong Langri will probably do to him what he did to Qiuchi!
Yun Zheng is a jackal, and the tribes in western Mo are not good guys either.
However, if the northern line does not retreat completely, Yun Zheng will definitely launch a quick surprise attack, forming a pincer attack on the northern line!
With the few troops that Duilong Langri has, they can't stop Yun Zheng's army at all!
Defeat is inevitable!
There is no hope!
"Then...then what should we do now?"
The commander of the royal guards was completely panicked and looked at Lou Yi in despair.
what to do?
Lou Yi was also thinking about this question.
After a long time, Lou Yi struggled to stand up, gritted his teeth and growled, "Block the news! We must not let the news of the disastrous defeat on the southern front reach Doilung Langri's ears!"
We must hurry back to the royal city and have someone escort the royal family's gold, silver and treasures away first!
Otherwise, once the royal city is captured, all the gold, silver and treasures will fall into Yun Zheng’s hands!
Even if I sink those things to the bottom of the water, I will never leave them to Yun Zheng!
Can’t hold it anymore!
Now the only thing they can do is let the Northern Line help them delay time!
escape!
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
