Chapter 83 Advance and retreat
With the crow of a rooster, the rising sun gradually rose, illuminating the blood-soaked earth.
The battle lasted for a whole night. Although the outcome of the battle had been decided long ago, the resistance of the remaining soldiers of the Massodra Empire was extremely tenacious.
I have to say that the troops of the Massodra Empire are really elite. Even in this case, most of the soldiers did not choose to surrender. Unfortunately, the command chain was broken and the soldiers were determined to kill the enemy, but they didn't know what they should do. So although the resistance was brave, it was useless.
There is also Mits' relationship here, because he has always been there and gathered the soldiers around him to organize them to fight back. If he ran away, it would probably be impossible for these soldiers to stand up to this day. But unfortunately, they did not have any effect in the end. When dawn was approaching, the last soldier also fell down, but he also fell in front of Mits. All the soldiers fulfilled their responsibilities and protected their legion commander, of course, using their own lives.
At this time, Mittes was already injured all over. Looking around, except for him, there were no soldiers who seemed to be standing. Looking around, they were all soldiers from the enemy. The soldiers didn't know that Mittes was the commander of the enemy's legion, but they could tell from the armor they were wearing that the other party was a high-ranking official. According to the general rules, of course it would be better to capture alive.
Mittes looked at the soldiers surrounding him and laughed bitterly, but Jit should have run out successfully. His mission had been completed. He also raised his sword and crossed his neck, preparing to commit suicide. Instead of being captured and humiliated, it is better to die here in battle.
"Wait, Mits." At this time, a voice appeared, and the soldiers around him separated automatically. Hejar walked up directly.
The two of them are old rivals. When Mits saw Hejar, he first showed an angry expression, but soon relaxed, and finally turned into a sigh: "You won this time, Hejar."
"This time is not my plan." Hedgeal knew what the other party meant when he saw Mits' expression. Mits did not intend to surrender, but was preparing to die here.
"Is it the mage leader named Water God?" Mits asked.
"It's not...it seems to be a plan made by a little Count named Serina," said Hedgell. "I didn't expect the war between us to end this way."
"Does the little Count suddenly appear? If you have the chance, you really want to see him... It's a pity..." Before Miters finished speaking, the sword in his hand suddenly flew, and the sword light flashed, accompanied by the spurted blood, the famous general of the hundred battles had already fallen to the ground.
"Contain his body well." Hejar also sighed, then turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "The war is over, we win!"
"Ou!" "Ou!" "Ou!" Cheers like tsunamis sounded, and this war that lasted for a month was finally over.
After a moment, it was noon. At this time, all the non-commissioned officers of the First Second Legion of the St. Willan Empire gathered together for a meeting. Of course, Ye Junwen was also here, and sat in the first row, except for Hejar and the Water God, the two commanders, he sat in the first place.
No one has any objection to this ranking, at least there will be no objection now, because everyone knows that the previous plan was proposed by the little Count they had never heard of before. Now the Empire is a great victory, which has proved everything.
"At present, a rough count is that in this battle, the number of casualties of enemy troops is more than 80,000." A general next to him is reporting the approximate casualties, and the soldiers outside are still cleaning the battlefield, and the accurate numbers cannot be counted.
"Oh..." Hearing the number of 80,000 people, all the generals exclaimed, and then subconsciously looked at Ye Junwen's 80,000 people, which was about half of the total number of the opponent's troops. This was a real victory.
Yes, the total number of troops of the two enemy troops is about 160,000-170,000, which everyone knows. Of course, half of the losses are currently lost, and it does not mean that the other side has half of the troops. The fact is that the troops on the opposite side are directly dispersed and completely destroyed. Half of them escaped, but those people are dispersed, not retreating. Generally speaking, it is difficult for these scattered soldiers to find their main force again, and it is possible to even become deserters directly. It is almost impossible to gather the remaining troops again, because they have no supplies. What's the use of gathering people at this time? They don't even have to eat food and don't have weapons. Do you still want to restore combat effectiveness? So at present, these two legions have been destroyed, and it is impossible to reorganize in a short time.
"There are more than 30,000 casualties here." At this time, the general here continued to report. The losses were indeed quite large, but this was acceptable to everyone. After all, their system is still there, and now it is just a little insufficient in the military.
The main loss of this battle was the troops of the Second Legion, and most of them were those who were defending the city before. Ye Junwen's troops and the remaining troops of the First Legion participated in the last battle, and the soldiers who defended the city were really miserable. The offensive and defensive battles in the first three days were too bloody, and even the commander of the Legion, the Water God, was injured. In the end, the soldiers were exhausted when they opened the fortress and rushed out. Some even fell to the ground and fell asleep forever when they heard the news of victory. They were exhausted. Of course, no matter what, they won.
"Water God, how are you injured?" After listening to the battle report, Hejar looked at the Water God next to him. Now there is a lot of gauze wrapped around the water God, and there are blood oozing out of it. It seems that the injury is not light.
"At present... nothing happened, I have already checked it." said the Water God, "Don't worry about me..."
The Water God said that there is no need to worry about it, which refers to the strategic issues that follow. Although they won this battle, the war has not yet ended. Although the enemy's legions were defeated, the two countries have not yet ceased to fight. The problem they have to face at present is that they will go further after waiting for peace talks between the empires here...
Judging from the current situation, the Massodra Empire should choose to negotiate after receiving news. This can no longer be fought. The two legions were destroyed and they could not send other legions to come up. As for the current results, it should be no problem for the other party to ced the previous target, the Tedmara region, but they have already reached this point, and everyone's ambitions have also arisen.
At present, there is no stopping in front of them. It is possible to directly kill the opponent's main city from here. Although this is not the strategy they arranged before, the opportunity is rare. Is there a better opportunity than now? Of course, if they want to take action, they must also make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the opponent will definitely let other legions come back to defend, and the opportunity must not be missed.
This military meeting mainly discusses this. Whether to send troops or not, the decision-making power is currently on Hejar and the Water God. Of course, they can also wait for the empire to receive the new orders issued after the war report, but it would be too late at that time. The general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to the current situation. Even if there is no order from above, they must make their own judgment at this time.
The current generals are also divided into two factions, with support for both opinions, and the majority of people want to send troops. After all, the soldiers are a little bit of blood. They have just won a big victory and are full of fighting spirit, so of course they are pursuing the victory.
"Then I'll tell you what I think." Hejar nodded, but as soon as he was about to speak, the water god next to him suddenly tilted his body and fell down from his seat.
"Sir Water God, what's wrong with you!" Everyone became nervous. It was obvious that they were too serious. Although the Water God himself said there was no problem, it was not the case at all.
"Water God, you'd better go and rest first." Hejar came up and helped the Water God and said.
"Damn..." The God of Water looked at Ye Junwen next to him and said to Hejar, "Earl of Serina is now commanding the legion on my behalf. General Hejar. Now is a critical moment. Don't delay the fighter plane because of me. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
"I understand." Hejar nodded, and then signaled the soldiers beside him to take the Water God down to heal first. Before the Water God went down, he looked directly at Ye Junwen. Ye Junwen didn't say anything, but just nodded, but this made the Water God relieved.
Soon, the Water God left and everyone's eyes returned to the stage. They all heard the words of the Water God before, and the command was temporarily handed over to Ye Junwen, which means that Ye Junwen is now the acting commander of the Legion. Before Ye Junwen had time to take any military posts, he flew to the top step by step. This was unprecedented.
But unexpectedly, no one raised objections or something. After all, the general does not depend on age, what is needed is the record. Ye Junwen's record is just overwhelmed. Most of the generals who had mocked Ye Junwen before did not object at this time. This record is really a bit scary, and they were all shocked.
"Then, General Serina." Hejar nodded here and said to Ye Junwen, "I want to hear your opinion first."
"I'll ask a question first. Can anyone here win the sword saint?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Ha?" Everyone was stunned. Why did they suddenly talk about the Sword Saint? Of course, they didn't know the information ahead.
