At 6 o'clock in the morning, the sun rose from the sky. When Mavi rushed to Chelyabinsk, he saw a ruins.
In the billowing smoke, the battle had just ended, and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. After a night of fierce fighting, Katerina recaptured Chelyabinsk with the help of the vampires.
The defeated Marquis James fled overnight, discarding countless artillery and rifles, and continued to retreat westward with the remaining defeated troops, retreating through the Ural Mountains.
The situation on Katerina's side was not much better. It could only be described as heavy casualties.
This was a tragic victory. Even with the help of the Blood Clan, Katerina could not easily recapture Chelyabinsk. After all, the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny also sent many priests. If the Blood Clan had not defeated the defense line built by the soldiers, The battle cannot end quickly.
Ma took Yunia's little hand and walked into the city with Dino, Kovalev, and Rusov, and found Katerina sitting on the gravel drinking water. At this moment, she was full of It was stained with dust and blood, and he looked a little tired, but he still didn't let down his guard.
"Your Highness."
"Father? Why are you here?"
Seeing Mavey, Katerina looked shocked and said: "Aren't you in Tyumen City?"
"I was worried that Frederick's Kingdom would launch a sneak attack, so I came over to see the situation..." Ma Wei looked around: "Why didn't you see Edward?"
"It went to the border." Katerina took some water to wash her face. "Early this morning, when we attacked Chelyabinsk, the Kingdom of Frederick did send troops to attack us from behind, but they were blocked. Onufri and Ravel found out, and in order to ensure their safety, I asked Edward to take action."
Ma Wei nodded and said: "The right choice, how many people did Frederick's Kingdom send?"
"About one hundred thousand."
"On the way here, I encountered an army from the Kingdom of Sardinia. The number is unclear, but it will definitely not be too small."
"The Kingdom of Sardinia?"
Katerina, who was washing her face, suddenly raised her head and said warily: "Where are they?"
"The map used by these idiots was bought at the train station. There was no clearly marked route on it. They got lost, so I took the opportunity to lead them to Yinfujieli."
"...."
When she heard that Ma Wei had lured the enemy to Yin Fujieli, Katerina looked at him very strangely.
This is too damaging...
Although the battle line is very long, Duke Ivanovich holds five armies of the Romanov Kingdom, with a total strength of about 600,000, as well as a large number of priests and monks from the Wisdom Religion. It is extremely difficult to shake and is safe. Don't worry too much about the problem.
The sudden appearance of enemy troops behind him would probably make Duke Ivanovich sick for a while...
There is no other way. If Mawei does not lead the enemy troops to Yinfujili, then this group of Sardinian troops will either go west to Chelyabinsk, or go east to Tyumen City, and to the south is Impossible, they just came from the south and have been wandering near the border for a long time. No matter how stupid the commander is, there is no way he can turn back.
Compared to Tyumen and Chelyabinsk, the safest choice is to lead the enemy to Yinvdjeli, which is the main battlefield and can minimize the harm.
"How long has Edward been there?" Mavey asked, looking at the black castle standing in the center of the city.
"Three hours."
"It's been too long..."
Frowning slightly, Ma Wei suspected that there was something wrong at the border. He had seen Edward's strength before. As long as the god didn't come in person, it would have the power to fight.
The Lord of the Blood Clan is not an ordinary person.
Having said that, it was still worrying to be gone for three hours without a trace.
"Pope Doppler II of the Judgment Cult is here in person." Katerina said: "The situation is not optimistic. I am planning to lead soldiers to support it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Edward's figure appeared in the sky, with huge bone wings flapping continuously. It landed in front of Mavie and Katerina, and threw Onufri and Ravel in his hands. On the ground, a calm voice said: "I brought it back to you, man."
Seeing that Onufri and Ravel were covered with wounds, Katerina quickly asked people to carry them down for treatment, and then asked: "Where are the others? The 15th and 19th Cavalry Regiments went out with 10,000 people!"
"It's all gone." Edward's tone sounded like he was talking about a trivial matter: "When I rushed to the battlefield, they had already launched the final charge. Pope Doppler II took action. If it were one minute later, only God would be there. We can save them."
"Gone?"
Katerina fell down on the stone and stared at her feet in confusion: "Ten thousand cavalry, infantry can't catch up at all, they..."
The situation that can wipe out the entire army of 10,000 cavalry can only be if they fight to the death, otherwise the battle loss ratio cannot be too exaggerated. This is the greatest advantage of the cavalry.
】
Their mobility far exceeds that of other arms on the battlefield, and they can come and leave whenever they want.
"They did hold off the enemy and forced Pope Doppler II to use magic." Edward glanced at Katerina: "This is the task you gave them, isn't it? Hold on for an hour, and they did it .”
After this battle, the number of cavalry under Katerina's command was halved. Adding in the soldiers lost in the Battle of Chelyabinsk, Katerina had less than 35,000 men left.
One-third of the 50,000 elite soldiers who had followed Peter the Great were killed or wounded overnight.
Katerina clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth and asked: "What's the situation in Frederick's Kingdom? Have they withdrawn their troops?"
"We are retreating temporarily." Edward frowned: "If it weren't for the desperate protection of those bishops and priests, I should be able to kill Pope Doppler II. They came well prepared and equipped with many weird magic rings. It’s offensive magic.”
"How many men did they lose?"
"I don't know. I haven't calculated it. If you want to collect the corpse, I suggest you do it as soon as possible. They will come back at some point."
The faces of Ma Wei, Katerina and others were not good-looking, and a solemn atmosphere filled the air with difficulty. With the attack by the Fessa coalition, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Romanov Kingdom has to face many enemies. It's just the Kingdom of Windsor, and they have to beware of the Feisalian coalition forces that may attack at any time.
"I must avenge this."
Katerina's eyes flashed with danger. She looked at Mavey and said word by word: "Father, I think the plan you mentioned before can be implemented."
"Plan?" Edward asked with some confusion, "What plan?"
"Um...."
Mavey knew what Katerina was referring to, the so-called modern magic war, but this was just a concept he proposed. With the current industrial base of the Romanov Kingdom, it would be impossible to realize it in the short term.
"It's better to produce the Edward No. 1 rifle as soon as possible." Ma Wei said: "As for modern magic warfare, it takes time. We don't have enough researchers, and there are still crucial problems that have not been solved. We can only wait for your highness to become the king and become the king." Only with the Romanov Emperor can modern magical warfare be realized."
"I will not let the blood of the soldiers be shed in vain."
Katerina's eyes were firm and she was no longer disappointed: "The blood they shed today will turn into bullets and shoot into the enemy's chest in the future!"
