Arknights is too real, right?

The Central Army's full-line retreat has been carried out regardless of the cost. No matter how high the price is, they must withdraw.

Nanfeng, who had rushed to the front line at this time, immediately raised his arms and shouted after hearing the instructions from General Aumen.

"Brothers, don't let them escape, chop them to death!"

Nanfeng is a member of the royal family, but at this moment he calls the soldiers brothers, which makes the soldiers of the Southern Military Region instantly feel that they are related to the royal family.

Of course, the latter sentence "Don't let them escape, chop them to death" is a bit too vulgar, but this kind of detail is irrelevant.

In fact, Nanfeng didn't think too much. He didn't know what to say given his status. In his opinion, this kind of war was no different from a gang fight, except that there were more people.

Under the personal leadership of Nanfeng, the officers and soldiers of the Southern Military Region were at full combat effectiveness and rushed towards the armored shield soldiers of the Central Army who were responsible for stabilizing the front and covering the army's withdrawal.

At the same time, the combined forces of Sami and Sargon also began to outflank.

At this moment, even if the opponent's intention to retreat cannot be intercepted, we must inflict heavy damage on the opponent as much as possible.

Soon, the battlefield on the Red Sand Plain changed from a collision between the two armies to a one-and-done chase. The Central Army's defense line bravely resisted the Southern Allied Forces' successive rushes, while the remaining divisions fought as quickly as possible. Evacuate in a northerly direction.

In order to speed up the retreat, equipment that was too bulky has been discarded, and some even threw away helmets.

Because the soldiers of the Central Army knew that once they were overtaken, their helmets would not save their lives.

Now the Confederate Army no longer needs to defend, what they want is a comprehensive attack.

"Fire the arrow!"

The crossbow team fired a volley, and behind the armored shield soldiers of the Central Army, a group of rear-guard soldiers fell down screaming.

"boom!"

A crossbow hit the defense line, the shields were blown away, and the explosion overturned all the nearby soldiers. The already unstable defense line was instantly opened.

Nanfeng stood on top of a military field vehicle, the lightning cutter in his hand pointed directly at the enemy's position.

"Go, go, brothers, fuck him to death!"

The defense line was torn open, and a large number of soldiers filed in through the gap, tearing the gap even wider. Soon, the defense line responsible for covering the withdrawal was completely collapsed.

The shield soldiers were chopped down in a pool of blood under the overwhelming sabers.

Retreat on the battlefield is always chaotic. Even though the Central Army has experienced countless military exercises and simulated retreat training, it is still inevitable that chaos will occur at this moment.

A few minutes later, the Southern Allied Forces had rushed to the central army's previous finger position.

At this moment, Nanfeng saw a special person among the chaotic crowd.

This man had the same blond hair as him, and his facial features were at least 70% similar. Nanfeng didn't know who this man was, but when he saw this guy, for some reason, he felt very unhappy.

"That man, that golden retriever, hurry up, drive over, hurry up!"

The field vehicle quickly turned around and rushed towards the blond man who was surrounded by a group of officers and was about to get on the vehicle.

When they were less than 30 meters apart, Nanfeng jumped up from the battlefield vehicle with a big sword in hand. In mid-air, his palm activated the explosion function of the lightning cutter on the sword hilt.

"boom!"

Falling from the sky, the sword directly hit the body of the car, and the huge explosive force directly tore the vehicle into pieces.

The nearby officers "fluttered", and the blond man was also knocked to the ground.

This blond man was the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army, Witte. He was in a hurry to contact the imperial officers, so he delayed his retreat slightly.

After the explosion, as soon as Werther got up from the ground, Nanfeng hit the door with a sword.

"Ding!"

Enduring his brain's dizziness, Werther pulled out the saber from his waist to block the sword. However, the force of the sword was so powerful that it made his wrist numb and the saber flew away from his hand.

The next second, Nanfeng raised his foot and kicked Witte hard in the chest.

"Gaba!"

The sound of the ribs breaking was extremely clear, and Werther spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body was shot back like a cannonball.

Seeing the commander-in-chief being attacked, all the nearby officers, soldiers, and even medical soldiers used their bodies to block the south wind as if they were desperate for their lives.

Afterwards, Werther, who was seriously injured and grinning, was quickly carried to another car by several people and evacuated under the heavy cover of the Guards.

As dusk fell, the brutal battle on the Red Sand Plain that lasted for a whole day finally came to an end.

This was the most frustrating battle fought by the Empire's Central Military Region since its establishment. During the entire retreat, their butts were stabbed.

After the defense line was breached, the Southern Allied Forces pursued the Central Army in a panic for more than 20 kilometers. Along the way, there were corpses with stab wounds behind them.

Some people say that the wound on the back is a shame for soldiers, but under the highest order of the commander-in-chief, they must give their back to the enemy, throw off their helmets and armor, and evacuate in embarrassment.

The Southern Allied Forces pursued the retreating Central Army until the sun went down. They did not give up until the team stretched beyond the maximum support distance and the Central Army withdrew from the red sand plain into the mountains.

According to rough post-war statistics, in the Battle of the Red Sands, which lasted for a whole day, the number of soldiers on both sides was at least over 270,000, and the number of injured was countless.

Among them, the number of casualties in the Southern Military Region was about 70,000, and the number of casualties in the Sami and Sargon coalition forces was about 20,000 each.

The Central Army, which retreated midway, left more than 160,000 corpses on the Red Sand Plain. It can be described as a great defeat.

A total of 270,000 people died, which is unimaginable in today's Terra world, even more than the large cities that were hit by natural disasters.

The originally dark red sand of the Red Sand Plain was soaked with blood.

As night falls, the cold wind blows over the cold corpses, and the faint wails of the dead can be heard in the air.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Central Army, Witte, was kicked by Nanfeng and was seriously injured during the retreat. However, looking at the overall situation, his decisive choice was not unwise.

After sacrificing the lives of 160,000 soldiers, he preserved 400,000 troops for the north to deal with the next changes.

Although the Southern Allied Forces seemed to have won, they also suffered heavy losses in this battle. The best option was to use the remaining troops to stabilize the southern defense line rather than continue to move north.

A few days later.

The seriously injured Werther finally withdrew to the north, and with the support of the Royal Knights, arrived at the central army base near Londinium.

However, when he endured the overwhelming pain in his chest and asked the military about the latest situation, he heard information that he could not believe.

This situation was something he never imagined, and it directly caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The latest information from the military department is.

The army of infected people led by Xia Feng actually arrived in Jianan City in only 5 days.

They gave up the integrity of the march and chose to deliver nearly 1 million fresh troops with equipment first.

And after replenishing supplies in Kanan City, they entered the north directly without any intention of stopping.

At the same time, the Northern Military District of the Empire did not mobilize to the north-south junction in advance as ordered by the army.

Capesimit, commander-in-chief of the Northern Military Region, has lost contact for some unknown reason, and the entire military region has cut off contact with the military headquarters.

Kapesimit is the eldest son of Kapewami, the Imperial Inspector General. To this end, the Inspectorate has sent a special operations team to the Northern Military Region to investigate the details.

Still no news has come back.

A few days ago.

Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military District.

Capesimit's personal guards were held to their necks by a bright saber.

These men with resolute faces wear the same military uniforms as the guards, but the logo of the badge represents the Special Forces Brigade of the Northern Military Region.

Inside the office.

A huge gun-like weapon penetrated someone's chest.

"puff!"

The gun head was pulled out, blood spurted out, and Capesimit fell to the ground, lifeless.

Bagpipe's chest heaved violently, his orange hair covered his eyes, and his face was splattered with blood.

As a soldier of the Northern Military Region, she killed her immediate boss on the spot. She was still a little frightened, and even the fingers holding the gun were trembling.

But this was her decision.

It was also a promise made with that person under the night sky.
