After resting at the harbor for one night, Qu Mao had breakfast the next morning. Accompanied by Fur Swamp, he brought 2,000 fifth-tier palace guards, 10,000 navy, army and marine soldiers, and 5,000 third-tier soldiers. The princess guards, 4,000 fourth-tier guards, and 1,000 fifth-tier court guards left behind by Su Buqing meandered towards the City of Heartlessness.
There are a total of 22,000 soldiers guarding them. Qu Mao felt a bit boring. The Anti-Yi Town Alliance did not gather heavy troops, and it was basically impossible to successfully decapitate. Originally, Qu Mao wanted to use himself as a bait to attract the Anti-Yi Town Alliance to invest in troops , to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation, now it seems that there is no hope.
The total force that the Yigong Territory has invested in the Eastern Peninsula battlefield in the East Mainland Bay is not that it cannot defeat the territory of the Anti-Yi Town Alliance, but that it cannot completely stabilize its rule after it is defeated.
Because there are still a large number of low-level fighters in the territory of Yi Gong, the defense of the territory and the maintenance of law and order mainly rely on the low-level fighters of the garrison, and the Anti-Yi Town Alliance has scattered too many scattered troops composed of high-level fighters.
It is not a big problem to send garrison soldiers to guard the towns that Yigong Territory worked so hard to take down.
However, the wilderness or residential villages between towns and cities are not controlled by the troops of the Yigong territory. Even if the large troops of the Yigong territory take the village, once the army withdraws, it will soon be destroyed by the anti-Yigong alliance. The dispatched squad of high-ranking fighters counterattacked.
As a result, the situation in the Yigong Territory on the eastern peninsula battlefield of the East Continental Bay remained stalemate. The troops in the Yigong territory still have enough spare power to occupy more towns, but every time they occupy an additional town, it means that the troops in the Yigong territory are forced to disperse.
Various towns cannot be effectively connected, and logistical supplies cannot be effectively supplemented.
As far as the passage of Qu Mao’s march was concerned, Su Buqing tried his best to fight it down. It is said that when it was shot down, he sorted out all the villages and towns within a 30-kilometer horizontal range, and drove away all the anti-Yizhen alliance troops.
But when Qu Mao led 22,000 troops through this area, although there were no attacks, the scout troops sent out, and what Qu Mao rode on his horse and observed with a telescope, there were at least a dozen waves against Yizhen The alliance's high-ranking fighters harass the troops.
This kind of small-scale army is superior to the large number, but a single army does not exceed 100 people at most, and it is generally a small-scale army composed of more than a dozen people.
Small-scale troops like this, because the fighters are composed of high-level fighters, generally the third-tier fighters have less than 500 troops, and they dare to attack.
But if the Yigong Territory organizes a large-scale encirclement of troops, they will immediately break up into pieces and run around. Once the large-scale troops of the Yigong Territory retreat, the small group of high-level fighters from the Anti-Yigong Alliance will immediately turn around and start all over again.
In all areas of this channel that are not protected by city walls, the armies of the Yigong Territory and the Anti-Yizhen Alliance are intertwined. Qu Mao had already done a special cleaning before he was going to move.
After discovering more than a dozen waves of anti-Yi town alliance small groups of high-level fighters, even if Qu Mao didn't understand military knowledge, he knew very well that the current battle of Yi Gong territory on the eastern peninsula battlefield of the East Continental Bay has fallen into an anti-Yi town. Town in the vast ocean of alliance guerrilla warfare.
This small group of high-level fighters in the Anti-Yi Town Alliance will not only have the same type of arms, but generally consists of 4 or 5 types of fighters. There are countless teams.
Just like the role-playing games Qu Mao played in another world, the small unit of the Anti-Yi Town Alliance often includes ranged fighters, melee fighters, defensive fighters, magic fighters, and almost includes as many professions as possible.
This also confirmed Qu Mao's conjecture from another aspect. The current situation itself was intentionally caused by the players of the Anti-Easy Town Alliance. After all, they also have experience in playing role-playing games in another world.
Qu Mao also tried to command the fifth-tier palace guards to raid the discovered small group of high-level fighters against the Yizhen Alliance, but as soon as the fifth-tier palace guards were dispatched, these small groups of enemies scattered and fled.
If Qu Mao sends third-tier princess guards or fourth-tier imperial guards, or marines, these small groups of high-ranking fighters from the Anti-Yi Town Alliance will not only flee, but may even be in the process of fleeing. Effectively kill the troops sent by Qu Mao.
On November 18th, the sixth year of Tianxuan, after several days of marching, Qu Mao led his troops to the city of Rueling, which is full of greenery and empty valleys.
The city wall of Heartless City has been upgraded to the third level. The area enclosed by the city wall is not very large. Even the third level city wall is still covered by the tall trees of Heartless Valley.
Currently stationed in Heartless City, except for a few military doctors, the rest are all soldiers. Other commercial and logistics organizations have not stationed in Heartless City.
Qu Mao and Fuer Swanpu didn't know until after they entered the city that Wei Qubing, who was guarding Rueqing City, had led troops to Qianhui City, presumably to reinforce Liu Qianhui. There is no hero in Rueqing City now.
After delivering a brief speech to the soldiers stationed in Heartless City, Qu Mao strolled up the walls of Heartless City while the sky was still dark.
During the construction of Unfeeling City, the surrounding trees were not cut down. Even though the war has lasted for more than three months, Unfeeling City has miraculously not suffered from the flames of war.
If it weren't for the two-way portal leading to Yi Gong's territory in Rueqing City, it is estimated that Su Buqing would not have arranged heavy troops to garrison Rueqing City.
Walking around the city wall of Heartless City, Qu Mao thought to himself: It is not completely unreasonable for Liu Qianhui to attach great importance to this place at the beginning. After all, the scenery here is really good. It seems that there is no need to cut down the surrounding trees, even in the future. Completely take down all the territory of the Anti-Yizhen Alliance, and keep the beautiful scenery of the empty valley and orchid in the unfeeling city.
After resting in Heartless City for one night, Qu Mao, accompanied by Fuer Swanpu, led 22,000 soldiers to Qianhui City, which was the former capital of Liu Qianhui.
As long as there are Yigong Territory troops stationed along the way, Qu Mao will go forward to condolences to the soldiers stationed there, boosting the morale of the entire eastern peninsula battlefield. It seems that this war will last for a long time.
