Chapter 325: The Battle of Feihai
Feihai Plain is a very famous large plain within the Luolin Empire.
It is located 10 miles northwest of Lixi City.
The reason why Feihai Plain is so famous is related to its history.
The Feihai Plain is an ancient battlefield well known to everyone in the Luolin Empire.
More than a hundred years ago, a peasant rebellion of unprecedented scale broke out in the Luolin Empire.
This unprecedented large-scale rebellion swept through half of the Luolin Empire and caused serious harm to the Luolin Empire.
At that time, before this unprecedented rebellion, the total population of the Luolin Empire was as high as more than 70 million. However, after the rebellion was suppressed, the population of the Luolin Empire was only a little over 55 million.
Nearly 15 million people were killed or injured, which shows the scale and destruction of this great rebellion.
Despite hundreds of years of recuperation, the total population of the Luolin Empire has only recovered to about 65 million, and it has still not returned to the level before the rebellion.
In the great rebellion more than a hundred years ago, the total strength of the rebel army was as high as 530,000, and the Luolin Empire's official army responsible for quelling the rebellion also had a strength of 350,000.
The rebel and official troops of both sides, with a total strength of 880,000, launched the final decisive battle on the Feihai Plain.
This final decisive battle lasted for 36 days and resulted in numerous casualties. In the end, the Luolin Empire's army won the final victory at an extremely painful cost.
The official number of the Luolin Empire has not yet given a specific number of casualties. They only gave a conservative estimate of 300,000 casualties.
It is said that in this final battle, the blood shed from the soldiers of the two armies dyed the soil, vegetation, and rocks on the entire land blood red.
The gurgling blood flowed downwards, pooled, and formed one blood pool after another, a blood lake deep enough for people to swim in.
The blood of the dead and wounded dyed everything on the Feihai Plain blood red.
Therefore, since the end of this unprecedentedly large and brutal battle, people began to call this plain that was once soaked in blood like a red ocean the Feihai Plain.
Although it sounds very poetic, the reason for the name is so chilling.
Over the past one hundred years, this ancient battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people once died has become a densely populated residential area under the covert promotion of the Luolin Empire officials.
This ancient battlefield, which was originally full of murderous atmosphere, has now become a residential area full of harmony and tranquility.
However, the harmonious and peaceful atmosphere that the Feihai Plain had so hard to possess gradually dissipated with the wind as the Britannia army advanced.
The chilling air that had dissipated for hundreds of years once again filled the Feihai Plain!
Although the scale of a battle is much smaller than that of the final battle hundreds of years ago, the brutality will definitely not be inferior to its huge battle, and it is about to take place on this ancient battlefield on the Feihai Plain!
…
July 29, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
Within the Luolin Empire, somewhere on the Feihai Plain.
Denis and Leo stood side by side.
Behind the two men stood all the senior generals in their troops.
The dozen or so people, headed by Denis and Leo, stood here silently, waiting.
Waiting for Baal's arrival.
Just now, the scouts from the main force of the Luo Lin Army led by Balta had come to report to Denis and Leo.
According to the scout's report, Barr will lead his personal guards to arrive here first in about ten minutes.
Both Denis and Leo looked very ugly now.
No, it should be said that the faces of the dozen or so of them are not pretty.
In the decisive battle with Allen a few days ago, with the help of the frighteningly high morale of Allen's Western Route Army, Allen's Western Route Army burst out with extremely powerful combat power, severely suppressing the
Killed their 70,000-strong army.
Denis and Leo realized that Allen's Western Route Army was now at its peak and its morale was high. It was now difficult to defeat him in a head-on confrontation. Even if they wanted to defeat him, they would have to pay a huge price.
Just fine.
Therefore, the two men immediately and decisively chose to retreat, all the way south to avoid Allen's current military front.
Thanks to the two men's decision to retreat decisively, their troops did not suffer much damage and only suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.
When he decided to retreat, in order to speed up the march, Denis chose to burn most of the military rations and other baggage.
At this time, Denis did not expect that his decision to burn most of the army rations would bring huge trouble to Allen.
When Denis and Leo were defeated by Allen, they realized that it was difficult for them to defeat Allen alone.
So when the two led their troops to retreat, they sent a message to Barr, so that Barr could immediately lead the main force to support them, and work with them to wipe out Allen's Western Route Army!
After receiving their letter asking for help, Barr decisively replied to them, telling Denis and Leo that he would immediately lead his army to support them and ask them to join him on the Feihai Plain.
, and then launched a decisive battle with Allen's Western Route Army.
To be honest, Denis and Leo were a little embarrassed to meet Barr.
Entrusted with the important task by Barr, he commanded the superior force to launch a delayed operation against Allen's Western Route Army and held back Allen's Western Route Army.
The total strength was nearly 20,000 more than Allen's, but the two of them still lost the battle, and were defeated by Allen, whose strength was far inferior to theirs.
Even if they are defeated, they will send an order to Baal dejectedly, hoping that Baal will come to support them.
Denis and Leo now feel embarrassed and ashamed just thinking about how they will face Barr later.
"Deni..." Leo smiled bitterly and said to Denis next to him, "What should I do...I feel ashamed to see Coach Barr..."
After hearing what Leo said, Denis also showed a wry smile.
"Sigh... Coach Barr should forgive us... He should also understand our difficulties in asking for help from him. The two of us just need to apologize to Barr honestly later, and don't find any reason for our defeat.
You can use excuses to excuse yourself. If you lose, you lose. There are not so many reasons to give. Coach Barr also hates others making excuses for their failures... Hey! Coach Barr is here! Stand up quickly!"
After hearing what Denis said, Leo immediately moved his gaze forward.
A cavalry unit was slowly emerging from the skyline ahead.
The leader is none other than Baal, whom the two have not seen for nearly a month!
This cavalry team headed by Barr was composed of all senior generals of Barr's army and the elite cavalry responsible for protecting them.
Barr was very fast and soon rode in front of Denis and Leo.
"Deni, Leo."
Barr skillfully turned over and dismounted, while calling their names affectionately.
"Although I haven't seen you two for only a month, I still feel as if I haven't been separated from you two for a long time." Bald said to Denis and Leo with a smile.
"Coach Barr..." Denis lowered his head with a guilty look on his face.
Like Denis, who lowered his head with a guilty look on his face, there was Leo standing next to Denis.
"Coach Barr... we feel like we really don't have the face to see you..." Denis said with a bitter face, "We couldn't even stop Allen, who has far fewer troops than us... I feel extremely guilty...
us……"
Before Deni finished speaking, Barr directly interrupted:
"Okay, no need to say any more. Now is not the time to say such frustrating words and apologize."
Barr continued to say seriously:
"We are meeting here, not to apologize, right? We are here to defeat the Britannia army together!"
"So raise your heads! Hold your heads high and join me in defeating the Britannia army!"
"……yes!!"
Denis and Leo both shouted in unison.
Then, the two men raised their heads.
The look of guilt on their faces had almost disappeared, and a look of determination slowly appeared on their faces.
Looking at the two people in front of them who gradually had firm expressions on their faces, Barr nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to say with a serious face:
"That Allen is almost about to lead his army into Feihai Plain."
"According to the reconnaissance of the scouts, it seems that Albert also led the remnants of his central army to rush to support the Feihai Plain."
"In other words, in this battle of Feihai Plain, we are not just dealing with Allen alone, we have to deal with both Albert and Allen at the same time..."
"This battle will never be easy, so you must be prepared to die here."
"The situation is now very clear. Whether the Britannia Empire's 'Xia Feng' offensive is successful or our Luolin Empire's victory in resisting the Britannia Empire's invasion all depends on this.
The battle on the Feihai Plain begins!"
"In other words, the Battle of Feihai Plain is the final decisive battle in our battle with the Britannia Empire!"
After hearing Barr's big words, Denis and Leo swallowed their saliva together, and then shouted in unison again:
Chapter completed!
