Chapter 422 Lost Five Villages
At 11:00 noon on April 1st in the third year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao knew in Jidao Ji Village that at around 8:00 in the morning, the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance had begun a full-scale attack on the five villages under construction. .
Fortunately, the 1,000 residents who were engaged in construction work in the five villages in the territory of Yi Village had already evacuated to the north at seven in the morning.
Zhao Pan's cavalry corps had arrived on the battlefield around 8:00 am, and Chafidel's long-range corps also entered the battlefield around 10:00 am.
Eleven o’clock is the time when Qu Mao told Hua Tielan and other heroes of the Jidao Expedition Team that they need to stick to it. Residents usually walk and have to carry tools and supplies. There is still 18 kilometers away in a straight line, and at least four hours should be given to the residents to evacuate safely.
After 11 o'clock, Hua Tielan and others can retreat in an orderly manner under the cover of the cavalry corps and the long-range corps.
Qu Mao's magic communication crystal address book was already full, so there was no direct contact channel for Hua Tielan, Shi Buhui, Zhang Yao, Xu Tan, and Silta Delta, and the frontline military situation had to be relayed through Xuande.
Fortunately, less than five minutes after 11 o'clock, Xuande ran back to the five-story building in Ji Village where Qu Mao lived, and told Qu Mao that all the residents had retreated to the north of the road between Ji Village and Ji Village, and the army soldiers who stayed behind in the five villages An orderly retreat is also beginning.
The fourth-tier fighters and fifth-tier fighters stationed here are the high-level troops carefully selected by Qu Mao to explore Jidao. Not to mention rich combat experience, each soldier's strength is very high, and the cavalry corps led by Zhao Pan With the cover of the long-range legion led by Chafidel, there shouldn't be any problems in retreating.
The third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance took the initiative to attack the five villages under construction in the southeast corner of Ji Island in Yi Village Territory. This was the first large-scale frontal battle for the Yi Village Territory Army. The retreat strategy was determined.
In this battle, it is conservatively estimated that the third batch of invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance has dispatched nearly 30,000 people, and the average number of enemy troops attacking each village has exceeded 6,000.
And the total army strength of the Yi Village Territory in the entire Ji Island is only more than 2,500 people. No matter how high the quality and combat effectiveness of the soldiers are, they cannot stand up to the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. It depends entirely on the number of soldiers. .
When the time came to around 4 pm on April 1, the third year of Tianxuan, Xuande came to tell Qu Mao that all the soldiers and civilians stationed in the five villages under construction in the territory of Yi Village had all retreated back to the north of Ji Village and Ji Village, including Duan Hou. The cavalry corps and long-range corps have all retreated.
The third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance did not take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle. Now it should be taking over the territory of Yi Village and building the five villages that have not yet been built.
Qu Mao asked Xuande to inform Hua Tielan, Xu Tan, Zhang Yao, Sirta Delta, Shi Buhui, Zhao Pan, and Chafidel to come to the fifth-floor building of Ji Village for a meeting.
In the first land confrontation with the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, five villages were lost in a row. Qu Mao was worried that the army heroes would take some extreme measures in a hurry.
At 5:00 p.m. on April 1, the third year of Tianxuan, Xuande, Hua Tielan, Xu Tan, Zhang Yao, Silta Delta, Shi Buhui, Zhao Pan, and Chafidel all gathered in the fifth-floor building of Ji Village In the living room, Kong Ming, who had just arrived at Ji Village, also participated in the meeting shaking a goose feather fan.
The north side of the Jicun and Jicun first-line roads must be the safe area we stick to. After the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yicun Alliance captured the five villages, they did not blindly go further north and west, which gave us a chance to strengthen our defenses. . "
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, the loss of five villages is a strategic retreat. Since the third batch of invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance has come to the Chosen One, he will definitely choose to repair the villages and strengthen the construction. village.
In the future, although the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance will be a little troublesome, it also means that the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance will help us build at least five villages.
Next, since your lord wants to use the road between Jicun and Jicun as the front line of confrontation, it means that we have to lengthen this line of defense, otherwise the troops of the third invasion fleet of the Anti-Yicun Alliance will easily go from Jicun Come around from the west side of the village and attack our rear. "
Qu Mao nodded and asked, "Xuande, what is the name of the village on the westernmost and southernmost side of Ji Island? Where is it located?"
Xuande spread out a map of Jidao, and said, "My lord, the westernmost and southernmost village is Haiya Village, but Haiya Village is not on the same line as Ji Village and Ji Village, but slightly to the south. "
Qu Mao tapped Haiya Village on the map a few times, and said: "Xuande, build the road from Ji Village to Haiya Village overnight, no matter how many members of the road construction team Li wants to dispatch.
The defense towers should be built on the side of this road according to the same scale and standard as the road from Jicun to Jicun. Every village must also be well defended, no matter it is on the south or north side of this road. "
Hua Tielan said: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to lead the Jidao exploration team to guard the residents who are working overnight. In fact, when I was guarding the five villages, I already had the consciousness to fight to the death."
Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said: "If you want to fight to the death, then our territory of Yi Village will suffer a lot.
Our current strategy is to exchange space for time, and use time to continuously erode the strength of the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. By the way, what is the ratio of enemy to enemy damage in today's battle? "
Chafidel said: "My lord, Master Hua Tielan and others stood firm in the five villages for three hours to buy time for the residents to retreat safely. No one was killed in the three-hour battle, and more than 30 soldiers were injured.
During the final retreat, 8 soldiers and civilians were killed and 52 injured, and the total number of combat casualties was less than 100. "
Qu Mao frowned, and Zhao Pan said: "My lord, during the defense of the five villages and the retreat, a total of no less than 2,000 fighters from the third batch of invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance were killed or wounded."
Both Xuande and Kong Ming moved their buttocks involuntarily, Qu Mao nodded and said: "Well, not bad! Our army also won a brilliant victory.
Bury the fallen soldiers, provide compensation to the families of the casualties, and treat the injured soldiers as soon as possible. "
