It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Northeast, 30 miles away.

More than a hundred Russian cavalrymen chased Jin Meijing who was fleeing on horseback.

Suddenly, her horse,
I don’t know if it was due to exhaustion or because it tripped, but it let out a neigh and fell to the ground in the snow.

The Russian cavalry rushed over shouting, ready to hack the Oriental female pagans to death with their swords.

At the critical moment, someone in mid-air shouted:
"Super Group Thunder Technique!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Hundreds of Russian cavalrymen, surrounded by blue chains and lightning,
The clothes and hair were burnt in an instant, and then both the man and the horse fell dead.

Lu Yuan arrived in time and saved the dying Jin Meijing.

She lay in Lu Yuan's arms.
He looked at the north in fear and said intermittently:

"Hell...the devil...is coming..."

A pill of "Nine Turns Resurrection Pill" was stuffed into my wife's mouth.

Save your life first.

Sitting on the phoenix, Lu Yuan flew back to Beihai City.

According to Li Hemei's information, investigations in all directions have yielded nothing.
But, strangely, none of the scouting birds from the northeast returned.

Combining Jin Meijing's warning, Lu Yuan deduced that
There must be a powerful force lurking in that direction.

After all, he could make even the most fearless killer feel terrified.
It’s certainly not simple!
Although Jin Meijing saved her life,
But she had exhausted all her spiritual energy and could not wake up within two or three days.

Lu Yuan did not dare to be careless and called everyone to a meeting again.

Zhendabova also attended the meeting.

She judged that Kim Mi-jeong must have encountered the "Black Knight".

"We must find them as soon as possible, otherwise,

Once we start a war with the coalition forces, it would be too dangerous if they suddenly attack us!"

Lu Yuan knew it,
The problem is that the scout bird never came back, and Jin Meijing was vague about the details.

Without specific information, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The only possibility is that Lu Yuan rides the phoenix deep into the vast snowfield.

However, the coalition forces and the Russians were watching closely.

Once they take advantage of the situation and launch an attack, the consequences will be disastrous.

This is really a dilemma...

In the end, Lu Yuan decided to defend Beihai City first, and then try to speed up Jin Meijing's recovery.

At the same time, he will be left with more than 20 scout birds,
Divide the area accurately and scout the northeast direction bit by bit.

First search 10 miles, then 20 miles, 30 miles, and so on, gradually expanding the scope.

What are you afraid of...

The Russian base launched a massive move.

Tsar Ivan ordered the camp to move south.
An artillery position was built 10 miles away from Beihai City.
Because the North Navy's frontier position is just 5 miles north of the city,
It is right within the range of the Russian artillery.

Less than a minute after the three test shells landed,

Russian gunner, calibrate the firing parameters,

A massive bombardment began.

"Boom boom boom..."

Dozens of cannons fired at once.
The North Navy's position was like a boiling pot.

Mud, sand, ice, snow, soldiers' limbs,

There were also various equipment flying everywhere.

Fortunately, anti-artillery holes had been dug on the positions in advance.

Otherwise, at least half of the staff will be reduced.

The first round of bombardment by the Russians,
At least four or five hundred shells were fired.
Almost all the front-line positions had been plowed.

Following closely, tens of thousands of Russian cavalry and infantry rushed up.

Lu Yuan issued an order in time:

"Order: Suzaku Brigade, temporarily abandon the frontline positions, leaving a small force to monitor."

The decisive battle is imminent, and Lu Yuan has just promoted Suzaku and Xuanwu to a brigade-level unit.

In addition to these two starting troops, the orders were strictly enforced.

Also, their number of fighters is close to 3,000.

There are 1,000 people in a regiment, and three regiments in a brigade, with both hardware and software available.

What's more, this move is very effective for pre-war mobilization.

Upon receiving the promotion order, the soldiers of the Suzaku and Xuanwu armies cheered "Long live the emperor!"

The admiration for Lu Yuan reached its peak.

Yalibu and Zhang Yuting immediately carried out the military order.

They were 100% confident in Lu Yuan's command.

When it comes to marching, fighting, and killing, Lu Yuan is ten times better than them.

Anyway, Zhang Yuting admires the principal very much.

The Russian ground forces, infantry and artillery coordinated their attack.

A large number of powerful practitioners and cavalry appeared in the west and carried out harassment.

Frost dragon Godzilla, the enemy has been detected.

A saint, four or five celestial masters, hundreds of great celestial masters, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen.

Damn, there are too many coalition forces.

The defensive position to the west of Beihai City is guarded by the Xuanwu Brigade.
The commanders are Kilton and Luo Zichang, together with Andre's team of practitioners.

They alone cannot resist the strong men of the coalition forces.

Lu Yuan transferred the Frost Dragon and the Four Heavenly Lords of Dragon and Tiger over to stabilize the defense line.

The battles on both sides became intense from the very beginning.

Overall, the Russians and the Western coalition forces showed a strong offensive posture.

They even launched a "cannon + human wave offensive"
The North Navy's forward and frontline positions were quickly lost.

However, Lu Yuan felt that these two attacks were just feints.

He waited patiently for the enemy's real killer move.

The two armies of Suzaku and Xuanwu are like dark reefs.
Facing wave after wave of frenzied attacks from the Western coalition forces, he remained calm and restrained.

By noon, the two armies had suffered 20% casualties.

The intense fighting made many soldiers so tired that they could not eat, and some even collapsed on the battlefield.

Hearing the shaky battle situation,
Zhalatu was extremely anxious and proposed again that he replace the two troops.

"Principal! Let me go!

If the fight continues, Yalibu and Zhang Yuting won't be able to hold on!"

Lu Yuan shook his head.

"Why are you panicking? As a general, you must avoid being impatient!
You have to be prepared and believe they can hold up.
Also, calm your men down and don't let them see that you are impatient!"

Wow, the principal is the principal!

This altitude, this calmness, every word and sentence hits the point.

I give in! I give in!
Zhalatu walked out with a look of admiration on his face.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard someone shouting:

"White Tiger Brigade! Enter the east city position!"

Zhalatu was stunned.

East city position?

The Russians actually attacked from the east?
Are they crazy?
To the east of Beihai City is the Lower Angara River, which is not conducive to attacking...

However, he didn't think much about it and stood at attention and saluted.

"Yes! The student will go right away!"

Soon, Lu Yuan reminded again:

"You are facing the main force of the enemy. Do not give up an inch of ground. Hold on!"

Zalatu was startled, but still answered decisively:
"Students must not give up an inch of ground!"

The scout bird reports,

The Russians and the Allied Forces, an army of more than 50,000 infantry and cavalry,

It goes diagonally into the east gate from the northeast at an extremely fast speed!

At the same time, there are two saints from the Western Alliance.

More than a dozen famous celestial masters and hundreds of great celestial masters...

Almost the entire army was mobilized!
Such a grand gesture is rare in the world.

Therefore, Lu Yuan rarely issued the strictest military orders to the White Tiger Brigade.

Lu Yuan said to Li Hemei and Talu:
"Move all the security forces and city defense troops to the east of the city.

If the White Tiger Brigade can't hold on, you guys will take over!"

"Yes Yes!"

Taluk and Li Hemei went out immediately to mobilize manpower.

The survival of Beihai City depends on this one move.

Lu Yuan led everyone to the East Gate Tower.

On the snowfield in the northeast, a gray "giant snake" was approaching rapidly.

Lu Yuan had good eyesight and quickly identified that the giant snake was the Western Coalition Forces.

Let's look at the White Tiger Brigade's defensive fortifications.

Because it is close to the Lower Angara River, the depth of the defensive position in the east of the city is less than three miles.

If the Western Allied Forces followed their route, they would rush onto the west bank across the frozen river.

However, there is a two-meter drop from the ice surface to the shore.
This is a natural trench.

Not to mention the ascetics, but the cavalry and infantry,
It would be very difficult to go down the river or get ashore.

Li Qingluan asked in confusion: "Once they step onto the ice, won't they become sitting ducks?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and said:

"I don't know, but I guess they must have made corresponding preparations."

At this time, urgent military information came from both the northwest.

In order to cooperate with the main attack, the coalition forces in the northwest,

Launch a fierce attack at all costs on the Suzaku and Xuanwu armies at the same time.

Lu Yuan issued an order: "Gradually retreat to the third line of defense.

If necessary, we can retreat back to the city and engage in street fighting."

In fact, after half a day of fighting,

The allied forces in the northwest suffered more than 30% casualties.

Even though they still have the upper hand,
However, once faced with city wall fortifications and street fighting, cavalry could not play to their advantage.

At least, Suzaku and Xuanwu should be able to hold on.

After Lu Yuan finished handling the military affairs at hand,
The main force of the Western Coalition has approached the Lower Angara River.

Lu Yuan looked at the coalition's vanguard troops with great interest.

How will this gang of robbers cross the river?
Soon, the answer was revealed.

The coalition forces' earth and water masters cooperated,
By using land subsidence and ice surface uplift,

On the eastern bank of the Lower Angara River, a wide "slope" was formed.

Even a lot of soil rolled down onto the ice like quicksand.

Moreover, it continues to extend on the ice surface, all the way to the west coast.

Hey!
These guys really have ideas!
In this way, both infantry and cavalry,

You can easily step onto the ice from the slope.

Moreover, because the ice surface is covered with mud and sand,

Neither people nor horses will slip and can pass through quickly.

Lu Yuan could even foresee that

When the enemy's large army approaches the west bank, they will do the same thing.

This will make it easier for the Cossack cavalry corps to carry out rapid assaults.

So smart!

With the arrival of the Allied artillery group, nearly a hundred artillery pieces began to build positions.

Lu Yuan laughed coldly and said, "Let our artillery begin! Destroy the enemy's artillery cluster!"

As the red flag was raised, four 125mm howitzers hidden in the city were

Pull the bolt towards the shooting parameters that have been calibrated long ago.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The deafening roar of artillery fire, accompanied by the whistling sound of "Swish, swish, swish!"
The real "King of Land Warfare" began his shocking performance.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Four shells accurately hit the coalition artillery positions.

Suddenly, there was a storm of fire, wind and iron rain.

Four small red and black mushroom clouds rose slowly.

The Allied artillery was stunned.

What's going on?

Where to fire?

Artillery Colonel Bonaparte looked at his men, dead all over the ground, and felt heartbroken.

But now is not the time to hesitate.

If we hesitate, our casualties will only be greater.

"Load the ammunition immediately and prepare to fire!"

But before he could finish his words, “Swish, swish, swish!”

The shrill howling sound came again.

"Boom boom boom!"

Bonaparte was horrified.

Such powerful artillery was unheard of among the Eastern pagans.

How many artillery pieces do they have?
Four doors, eight doors, or more?
Soon, the third wave arrived as expected.

The coalition artillery positions were filled with smoke and chaos.

Many wounded soldiers howled and cried desperately, which made people even more terrified.

When the fifth wave of shells came from Beihai City,
The coalition artillery fired the first wave of shells one after another.

Moreover, without accurate shooting of the elements,
Many shells were fired high and flew over the top of the city.

It was still a little low and hit the thick city wall.

Bonaparte was a child of genius at the Academy of Artillery.
He immediately determined that the enemy only had four cannons.
The enemy's artillery position was just behind the city wall and was in a blind spot for our attack.

In particular, the enemy's firing speed was ridiculously fast.

For every one shot from your 12-pound bronze cannon, the other side can fire five.

The lethality of the enemy's shells is even more exaggerated.

With one shot, not a blade of grass grew within a ten-meter radius.

Just by visual inspection, our side has lost more than thirty artillery pieces.

There is no way to fight this battle!

"All artillery, move positions immediately!"

Palanini immediately asked why the shelling had stopped.

Colonel Bonaparte replied:
"Either you destroy the enemy's artillery in the city! Or I move to a safe environment!"

When Palanini found out, there was nothing he could do.

It is really asking too much to just take a beating without fighting back.

However, the enemy's artillery was blocked by the city walls.
As long as the coalition forces rushed to the other side, they could avoid being killed.

Tsar Ivan also agreed with Palanini's views.

"Cavalry Corps, seize the west bank position at full speed!"

The Cossack Corps Commander Yermak received the order and immediately ordered:
"Brave and glorious Cossack cavalry, charge!"

Zhalatu had been waiting impatiently.

He was personally at the frontline position on the river bank, manning a Maxim II air-cooled heavy machine gun.

There are 9 more heavy machine guns like this, which is Lu Yuan’s latest invention.

All gun muzzles were pointed at the huge gap in the slope on the opposite shore.

In order to protect ten heavy machine guns,
Zalatu equipped each machine gun with a platoon of soldiers.

The order the security platoon received was: Even if you all die, the machine guns cannot be harmed.

The width of the river here is about one thousand meters, which is the optimal range for heavy machine guns.

When 20,000 Cossacks
Under the command of Corps Commander Yermak, they swarmed down the slope into the river.

Zhalatu shouted, "We won't give up an inch of our land! Kill these Western bandits!"

"Kakaka!"

"Kakaka!"

"..."

Ten heavy machine guns immediately spewed out blue flames.

A belt of one thousand rounds of ammunition was rapidly transmitted and extended to the right.

Streamlined bullets,
Under the powerful kinetic energy of the explosion of high-intensity gunpowder, it shot out at high speed.

Although the slope on the east bank is three hundred steps wide,
But, ten heavy machine guns can provide perfect coverage.

"Puff puff!"

Countless bullets flew over, and the troops who went down to the ice were shattered and fell to the ground.

The fearless Cossack cavalry,
While shouting slogans, they continued to bravely rush down the river.

Soon, ten walls of corpses formed on the ice...all fallen people and horses.

However, the Cossacks remained fearless.

They rushed down continuously, facing the steel bullets, shouting glorious slogans.

In the end, the war horses could not climb over the wall of corpses and had to take a detour.

However, the movement of the machine gun muzzle is faster than the speed of the war horse.

As a result, the entire ice surface was covered with walls of corpses.
But the brave Cossacks,
Under the order of the legion commander, they still launched a human wave offensive.

"The spirit of the Cossack cavalry is invincible!
The pagans of the East are trash!
They will be scared to death by us! Go ahead! "

Then more cavalry rushed down.

However, on the west bank and on the city walls,
Looking at the mountain of corpses piled up on the red ice,
Many young officers and soldiers in the Northern Army were stunned.

Some even couldn't help vomiting.

Some machine gunners couldn't help but ask for instructions:

"I can't stand it anymore. If you keep killing like this, it's too cruel!"

Zalatu replaced him without saying a word.

"The principal is behind us! We must not retreat!"

Even Li Qingluan couldn't help but sigh:
"How cruel! How could they be so stupid...knowing they would die, yet they still charged forward?"

Lu Yuan recalled the rumors from his previous life.

It seems as if someone once said: Man can conquer nature...

In short, when dusk fell, 20,000 Cossack cavalrymen lay in a neat row on the ice.

Well, very peaceful. (End of this chapter)
