Chapter 208 desperately advancing
In the eyes of outsiders, under the command of Xia, the Servant Army won consecutive victories. Its morale and momentum when facing the enemy were not inferior to the Xia army.
During this northern expedition, the Servant Army also performed well, which can be said to be second only to the Xia people. Even the Servant Army itself believes that they are elite troops second only to the Xia people.
Therefore, when these 100,000 people learned that Xia State was going to recruit them to join the Xia State's army, they were very willing.
All these newly recruited young and strong men were incorporated into the Servant Army, which added 10,000 new personnel to each of the Servant Army's Servant Army, which was instantly doubled.
Only the original half of the newly compiled minions had unified military uniforms, and their weapons and equipment were also fine steel weapons used by the Xia Kingdom before. The new half could only use the seized weapons and equipment.
Fortunately, these people used these weapons, and now they are using seized weapons and equipment.
After the organization was completed, the 200,000 minions were training outside Yili City, which is now outside Yongsheng City, but before the training was carried out, they received the order to go to the expedition.
After several days of marching, 200,000 people crossed the land of the original Bernsert Germany and successfully joined the Xia army stationed on the border.
Until the 200,000 minions merged with the Xia army, it was already early September of the 17th year of the Apocalypse. At this time, the Imperial Guards and the City Guards successfully met again in the south, preparing to attack the Fulimet Kingdom in the east.
After Li Jing asked the marching servants to rest for a day and a night, he issued an order to attack again without hesitation.
Two hundred thousand people were divided into ten parts in a mighty manner, and attacked the waters ahead from ten directions at the same time.
From north to south, the front line is more than 200 kilometers, while the waters ahead are about 400 kilometers wide and the east-west span is about 300 kilometers.
Faced with the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, under such a large area of attack, the territory within the waters was completely defeated.
Although the minion army suffered heavy losses along the way, and the loss of soldiers and generals occurred from time to time, they were always fighting and winning battles, so the minion army had not yet suffered defeat and fleeing.
In fact, if it weren't for the existence of the Xia army behind these vassals, who had been urging and controlling the vassals, the vassals would not be willing to continue to advance after the casualties reached a certain point.
But I don’t know how much morale the vassal army is left. Perhaps the collapse is right in front of me. After all, these natives do not have any firm fighting will.
The casualties of the Servant Army are so serious, and the situation of the waters that have been in retreat is self-evident, and the casualties can only be higher than those of the Servant Army.
And the land is also being lost. Many territories that were originally standing in front have been completely captured at this time.
In this way, although one side suffers losses, while achieving the plan and goal, the other side is to practice retreating. While losing troops and generals, it is also losing a very important geographical advantage.
In less than half a month, all the servants successfully joined the naval fleet waiting in the waters. In other words, the Xia army finally opened up this waters.
...
Li Bao looked at the groups of Northern Yi soldiers coming out of the grass forest. After seeing them, these soldiers not only did not attack them, but instead cheered at them, as if they were very happy, as if they were cheering for a victory.
Li Bao stopped Zhao Tao, who was about to order the shelling, and ordered: "Something is wrong. Send someone to investigate and figure out what's going on."
"Yes, general!" After Zhao Tao held his fists and took the order, he immediately asked someone to inquire about the information.
But after a moment, there was news, and Zhao Tao replied: "General, I found out that the people on the shore belong to their own minions. They fought all the way from the West."
Upon hearing this, Li Bao picked up the telescope and looked at the shore carefully. Only then did he realize that among these soldiers, some of them were indeed wearing military uniforms of servants, but they were all ragged. Isn't it a wonder that he didn't recognize them at the beginning?
Seeing these somewhat miserable servants and the excitement when they saw the fleet, Li Bao was not difficult to imagine how these people on the shore came to this place.
A day later, the servant army, who had been resting on the shore, suddenly became a little turbulent. When Li Bao was about to ask someone to inquire again, he saw an army emerge from the grass forest on the shore - an army that obviously belonged to the Xia Kingdom!
...
"General Li Bao, I'm lucky to meet you." Li Jing and Liu Ji came to the Apocalypse battleship where Li Bao was. Without saying a word, Li Jing greeted Li Bao like a striking voice.
"The last general meets General Li, General Secretary!" When Li Bao saw the two, he immediately bowed his fists and said, "In the fleet, the last general has not yet met him, and I hope he will forgive him."
"Hey~, what General Li Bao said? How could we be so unreasonable?" Liu Ji clasped his fists and said, "By the way, Liu is now a chief of staff in the land army, not a military advisor in the court. General Li Bao is called his military position."
"That's right." Li Jing also clasped his fists and replied: "Li is now only the commander of the army, not the deputy director of the Military Department in the court. Now you and I are at the same level, so General Li Bao doesn't need to be so polite."
"Yes, general, army... Chief of Staff." Li Bao clasped his fists again and said yes.
Although Li Jing and Liu Ji were saying these words, Li Bao was just listening to them, and he did not dare to really regard the two people in front of him as his level.
Not to mention the position, even if it is military rank, Li Jing's rank of general is one level higher than his lieutenant general, and there is also a Liu Ji who is unknown in size.
After the few people greeted each other, Li Jing smiled and said, "General Li Bao, now our land army has successfully joined the navy. After that, the army and navy must advance together."
"It should be like this." Li Bao replied: "If the general has orders, he will definitely obey it."
Li Jing didn't care about Li Bao's behavior. As long as the navy can cooperate with the army to launch an attack, the waters will not take long.
Recently, fewer and fewer enemy troops have appeared in the waters, and it is believed that they have suffered heavy losses in the previous battles.
Until recently, the army has encountered fewer and less enemy troops and is becoming more vulnerable, and it can be seen that the enemy is at the end of its strength.
During the period when Li Bao stayed in this water, he did not do anything, but he had found out the nearby waters clearly.
Therefore, in the subsequent attack, with the help of powerful navy warships, this water area was captured by the Xia army at a very fast speed.
Until a month later, this water area was completely conquered by Xia State due to the loss of nearly half of the military forces of the minion army!
Chapter completed!
