Chapter 695: A tragic victory!
The Hanhai army was defeated all over the mountains and fields. They abandoned their weapons, their glorious battle flags, and fled in a panic. Even their commander Gong Qi was killed for blocking the defeat.
No one could stop their defeat. Faced with the crazy Far Eastern Uprising Army, they lowered their proud heads for the first time and chose to retreat without dignity.
The Hanhai army experienced countless sinister battles in the rise of ten years, and made neighboring countries and regions frightened by their good at fighting tough battles. However, this time they met the Far East Uprising Army, which was not afraid of death, and the angry Uprising Army, which was doomed to fail.
Before the Hanhai army invaded the Far East, they were still brave and good at fighting. However, after the battle of advancing westward, they were still brave but were on the decline.
The Hanhai Army, which sent troops to the Far East, was a pure army, but since plundering a large amount of wealth in the Far East, ordinary soldiers of the Hanhai Army instantly became nouveau riche, and they no longer had the courage to die.
Although they are still fierce and good at fighting on the battlefield, they are all based on excellent weapons and cowardly opponents, but the plundering operations in the Far East have gradually corrupted such an army.
The officers are rich enough to rival the country, and the soldiers are plundering a lot of wealth. No one wants to fight to the death, because if they die, their wealth will be gone.
The Far East Uprising Army was different. Most of them were forced by the Hanhai people and could not survive. Their property fell into the pockets of the Hanhai people. Their wife and daughter became slaves of the Hanhai people. They had nothing at this moment, so they fought even harder.
For the Far East Uprising Army, the Hanhai people are their life-and-death enemy. They want to kill all the Hanhai people. They have nothing, so they are not afraid of death at all. There is no worse choice anyway. Instead of being forced to survive by the Hanhai people, it is better to get up and fight bravely.
Hanhai people were running around the mountains and fields, wishing that their parents would give birth to two less legs, but Hanhai soldiers were exhausted and panting after running for a while, because corruption and depravity had already made them grow small belly, and their physical strength was no longer as good as when they first entered the Far East.
Many Hanhai soldiers who could not run dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender to the Far Eastern Uprising Army that had been chasing: "We surrender, beg we not to kill us."
However, the Far Eastern Uprising Army, which had already had red eyes, couldn't listen at all. They slashed and slashed in anger, leaving no living speech at all.
The Far East Uprising Army has been chasing Hanhai people for more than ten miles, with corpses everywhere. Sixty or seventy thousand elite troops of the Thirteenth Army of Hanhai were destroyed in one battle. This is a huge victory for the Far East Uprising Army on the front battlefield.
Although eight of the ten flag regiments of the Far Eastern Uprising Army were destroyed, and more than 50,000 people were killed on the battlefield, Mu Xue believed that as long as the news of victory was announced, the lost soldiers would be replenished in less than three days.
Hanhai Commander Gong Qi had been cut to the point of blood, but his high-end uniforms still made his body very conspicuous. Looking at the dead Hanhai Commander Gong Qi, the commander of the Far Eastern Uprising Army, Zhao Yun, commander of the Far Eastern Uprising Army, ordered: "Cut off his head and send it to Liu Wenwu's camp."
Since the Hanhai army entered the Far East, the highest rank of 800,000 elite soldiers and generals who have died now are only the brigade commander. Now that the general who commands 100,000 has been killed, Mu Xue can imagine the attack on the Hanhai people.
Gong Qi was also the highest-level general who died in the Far East battlefield so far. In this battle, the capture of the Far East Uprising Army had countless weapons, supplies, food, food, food, and gold and silver, providing a material basis for the expansion of the Far East Uprising Army.
Liu Wenwu, commander of the 20th Army, was leading his army to advance towards the hinterland of the Elbe River Province, but along the way, he did not even see the main shadow of the rebel army except for the harassing small guerrillas.
Given the previous lessons of the two brigades of the 14th Army of Hanhai who were ambushed by the Far East Uprising Army and their entire army was wiped out, Liu Wenwu's advancement was very slow, and he sent a large number of scouts along the way to investigate the enemy situation and attack a town with only hundreds of troops to guard him for a few days.
First, we will investigate whether there are ambushes in the surrounding areas before we will dare to attack the small town with only hundreds of defenders. Liu Wenwu's caution is better for the Far Eastern Uprising Army, because his slow advancement gave the Far Eastern Uprising Army enough time to annihilate Gong Qi's 13th Army in the Hanhai.
Liu Wenwu's 20th Army advanced for a full week but advanced more than a hundred miles away, hundreds of miles away from the headquarters of the Far Eastern Uprising Army in the Elbe River Province.
Liu Wenwu's plan was very good, that is, his wealth and status were obtained by the troops under his command. If he did not have these troops under his command, he would lose his effect in the eyes of the Hanhai people. Although he was moving slowly, he preserved his strength.
He thought that the 13th Army of Hanhai first attacked the Elbe River Province. Anyway, even if he captured the Elbe River Province first, his final contribution would be taken away by Gong Qi, so his progress was even slower.
Liu Wenwu finally did not wait for the news of Gong Qi's victory. Instead, he was Gong Qi's bloody head. When he saw Gong Qi's head and seal, Liu Wenwu's first reaction was that he did not believe it, and then he was shocked and afraid after confirming it.
The Thirteenth Army of the Hanhai was a famous army, but it was wiped out. Even Gong Qi's head was cut off. So how huge the number of the Far East Uprising Army should be.
"Tell me the order! Withdraw the troops! Withdraw the troops!" After being frightened, Liu Wenwu shouted outside the military tent. He was afraid that he would have the same fate as Gong Qi.
In fact, after the Battle of Hongshitan, the Far East Uprising Army suffered heavy losses and 50,000 elite troops were killed. If Liu Wenwu had made every effort to continue his march, the Far East Uprising Army would be unable to resist, but Liu Wenwu was timid and frightened to retreat.
Liu Wenwu was originally the Far Eastern Dynasty surrendered to the Hanhai people, and he had no loyalty to the Hanhai people. All he needed was to survive. So when he saw the main force of the 13th Army was destroyed, he immediately frightened and shrank back.
When Liu Wenwu's army advanced, it took a full week to advance a hundred miles, but when it retreated, it retreated to the position of the army in just one day and one night, which made Mu Xue sigh. If Liu Wenwu advanced with all his might, his Far East Uprising Army would be in danger this time.
