Chapter 516 Battle Report of the Frontline
At around 2 pm on November 2, 223 of the New Era, the battle came to an end as the Fourth Army of the Principality launched a comprehensive attack on the federal border and smashed the federal fortresses along the river.
Federal General Ajar was not carried away by anger. He finally issued an order to abandon all defensive fortresses along the river and withdraw all federal troops to the nearest Crouching Tiger Pass.
This also means that the resistance faced by Yuan Xiao's troops is completely gone.
Soon, he led his troops and successfully captured the federal fortress.
This is what the trainee historian Tang Bingshu recorded.
--
In the year 223 of the New Era, at 2:12 pm on November 2, the first year of the empress’ accession to the throne, the consort, the Iron-faced Lord Yuan Xiao, personally led an army of two thousand. After a bloody battle, he finally set foot on the federal defense fortress along the river - No. 226
Number.
This is also the first commander-in-chief with the highest military rank to set foot on federal soil in the history of the Principality.
--
Because the retreat occurred so suddenly, the Union army left behind very rich resources.
Both military and civilian uses are available.
Yuan Xiao took away the most important Fountain of Life, and then some important thermal weapons. For the rest, he ordered that a special department would be set up to register the remaining items three days later.
This order was conveyed by Tang Zhenghao to the entire Fourth Army Corps.
Anyone who knows anything knows that they have three days.
There is no need to say anything that should be dealt with.
After all, the commanders who can follow Yuan Xiao in this battle today are not idiots, and they are more courageous than others.
Of course, not all commanders along the river chose to attack.
It's just that at this time, those who didn't attack were so regretful that their intestines were blue.
Fortunately, the federal army on the opposite side also quietly chose to retreat, so they quickly attacked and captured the fortress bunker almost without a fight.
Such military exploits were reported one after another.
Tang Zhenghao didn't say anything, he just handed a battle report and request for instructions to Yuan Xiao after reading it himself.
Zhou Jingze sneered: "Such a wallflower, it's quite timely to flatter him."
The entire legion is following the general trend. If they don't take action, Yuan Xiao might turn around and deal with them.
"That's just how people are," Yuan Xiao said, "As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, we won't deal with it for the time being.
However, Commander Tang Army needs to worry about the subsequent rest and reorganization."
Tang Zhenghao nodded, this victory was tantamount to adding an indelible mark to his military exploits.
After all, he is also one of the few in history, the first regiment commander to enter federal territory.
Yeah, it's not bad to be the man under Yuan Xiao.
Now, thinking back to Dongfang Xiaoman's recruitment, Tang Zhenghao secretly sighed that he had made a wise choice.
From now on, in the eyes of the empress, I will definitely become better and better.
"But Sir, what are your plans next..." Tang Zhenghao asked.
Don't you want to destroy the Federation?
Yuan Xiao knew what Tang Zhenghao meant: "How can we? Our military is not strong enough to destroy the Federation.
Being able to occupy the defense line along the river is already a big gain.
The most important thing now is to send the information here back to the principality immediately.
As for the arrangements for the reorganization of the Fourth Army, it is up to the commander of the Tang Army to take action."
Tang Zhenghao nodded. Now in the capital of the principality, what all the major forces are eagerly looking forward to is the battle situation on the front line.
As for the army, it must be adjusted. After all, they have occupied all the federal fortresses.
It is equivalent to saying that the entire border defense front has been advanced a big step.
Tang Zhenghao immediately started making arrangements.
Since it was during the war, some personal contact methods were strictly prohibited, and there was no signal on mobile phones.
Battle reports from the front line can only be transmitted through military channels.
Although the method is primitive and slow in efficiency, it can ensure accuracy to the greatest extent.
In the capital of the principality, due to the urgency of the war on the front line, Dongfang Xiaoman's small court meetings have never stopped.
The courtiers who came were also in various shapes.
Some cried bitterly and demanded peace talks, otherwise the principality would be destroyed.
There are some who insinuate that Yuan Xiao is not a general and would be embarrassed to hold a big position.
There are also those who pat their chests and want to recommend themselves to the battlefield.
In short, the loyalty of each one can be judged by the sun and the moon.
Dongfang Xiaoman didn't say anything, he just listened quietly and then sent him away.
This left the courtiers even more confused.
Empress, is she reliable?
But this time, Xi Gong did not hinder Dongfang Xiaoman. Instead, both princes expressed concern.
Prince Teres, who was a contender for the throne, only nodded and exchanged words with Dongfang Xiaoman, talking only for the occasion.
Prince Aibake, however, was very serious: "Sister, if you do this, aren't you worried about your brother-in-law's defeat?"
Dongfang Xiaoman rarely put down his book and smiled: "Don't worry, he is willing to take over this battle, he must be sure of it."
After hearing this, Ai Baker was speechless for a long time.
On the other side, the East Palace camp, headed by Dongfang Ning Hao, is also very concerned about the battle situation.
This battle is the first war after the Queen ascends the throne, and will affect the Queen's status.
However, the actual results disappointed them.
Dongfang Ninghao's tabloid was even faster than the Empress. He looked at the information in his hand and was speechless for a long time.
The staff looked at each other in confusion.
"grown ups……"
After a long time, Dongfang Ninghao took a deep breath: "Yuan Xiao is victorious."
"What?" Everyone couldn't help but jump.
"And it was a complete victory," Dongfang Ning Hao said bitterly, "He led the Fourth Army to occupy the federal fortress bunkers along the river."
"Sir, is this just a small partial victory?" someone asked.
"I didn't make it clear," Dongfang Ninghao put the battle report on the table, "It's a fortress along the river owned by the Federation.
And now, the federal army has returned to Crouching Tiger Pass."
"This is impossible!" Everyone present could not help but whisper to each other.
This is not consistent with reality.
Dongfang Ninghao lowered his eyes and couldn't clearly see the expression on his face: "It seems that I underestimated this Yuan Xiao."
Almost at the same time, inside the palace.
Su Ye came quickly and handed a page of paper to Dongfang Xiaoman.
"Yuan Xiao wins." She said these five simple words.
Dongfang Xiaoman was not in a hurry to take it over to read. She was still paying attention to the book in her hand.
He just responded with a faint "Yeah".
"It seems that you don't need to be a widow anymore." Su Ye's tone was a bit teasing.
"How can that be possible," Dongfang Xiaoman didn't care, "After all, I want to have a child of our own with him soon."
Su Ye didn't say anything this time. She put the battle report on the table, saluted, and turned to leave.
However, when she reached the gate, she stopped.
"Xiao Man, how did you find him out of the sea of people?" This was Su Ye's question all along.
It turned out that Dongfang Xiaoman and Yuan Xiao looked like a flirty couple to her.
However, now he has been severely slapped in the face.
Dongfang Xiaoman smiled: "Because of me and him.
They are all serious about finding each other."
