All the ranged units were frantically tilting their ammunition, completely oblivious to the consumption of ammunition, their purpose was to use these ammunition to stop the enemy's pursuit, and to preserve their own strength in retreat as much as possible, rather than turning into a rout.

It is still difficult to turn into a rout, and for these soldiers, who have memorized orders and order with their bodies, retreating will not break their morale, but will be a preparation for the next victory.

Yes, that's what the education of the Baltic Empire says, a temporary retreat is not a shameful thing, now the retreat preserves the living forces, gains experience in fighting the enemy, learns the lessons of this unsuccessful battle, and gets better results in the next battle.

As the infantry retreated, the centaur and gnolls began to break away from each other's entanglements, making their retreat more troublesome than the infantry, and the previous stone-throwing attack made the stone bridge extremely difficult to walk.

The gnolls were fine, and the centaurs had no way to retreat through the stone bridge, but they didn't need to take the stone bridge either, and when they came to the river, the rushing river turned white before their eyes, and the water was frozen by magic and turned to ice.

Without the slightest pause, the centaurs quickly returned to the territory of the Baltic Empire through the ice, and at the last time they had turned back to force the pursuing gnolls back.

Neither side continued to entangle, and the first day of fighting ended with the retreat of the Baltic Empire, and although the Attila Empire succeeded in protecting its face, it actually lost its lining.

The surviving soldiers began to sit on the ground to rest, and a group of them reluctantly got up to clean up the battlefield under orders, and they needed to clean up all the corpses and gather weapons and equipment that could still be used.

Even the damaged weapons and equipment must be recycled, the Baltic Empire's metallurgical technology surpasses that of the Attila Empire by too much, and these damaged equipment can be turned into good materials with only a little reheating.

What's more, the Attila Empire is indeed very short of materials now, and there is not much output in the first place, and it is depleting its inventory at an extremely terrible rate in such a war period.

War is originally a kind of material, and even when the material cannot be guaranteed, the odds of victory in the Attila Empire are really not very high, so even the arrogant knights have to order their soldiers to recycle all kinds of materials as much as possible when cleaning the battlefield.

The work of cleaning up the battlefield continued until the evening, when the corpses that had been swept away were thrown directly into the river by the people of the Atera Empire, who tried to pollute the river with the corpses and disperse the sea tribes in the water with the plague.

But their plan did not succeed, the bodies of the Baltic Empire soldiers were fished ashore and then buried properly, and the corpses of the Attila Empire became the food and rations of the Sea Tribe, those fish people and sea beasts were not so picky, they were the same as the Jackals, even the rotten food would not be disliked.

At night, the area around the battlefield became very quiet, only the sound of the river flowing, the ice had melted, and the stone bridge had been washed away by the river, and it was hard to see that there was a fierce and brutal battle during the day, if it were not for the mess and blood stains on both banks.

The victorious Attila army had no intention of celebrating, and instead of celebrating this victory, the soldiers below preferred to put themselves on their beds and sleep well to prepare for tomorrow's war, so that they could see the sun on the third day as much as possible.

The plague and famine had no intention of holding a feast, and they understood how much water their so-called victory was, and they did not have the shame to celebrate in front of such a victory, which would have made them appear in the annals of history as harlequins.

However, their enemies, the soldiers of the Baltic Empire, did not think so, because during the day, they were the dominant side, whether it was the centaur army or the gnoll army, and the elves who carried out long-range attacks, they all had a certain amount of physical strength.

So, they will attack the camp where the enemy army is stationed this night, which is not an easy thing to do, and there are a lot of traps and sentry posts around the camp, and there are spellcasters in the vicinity.

In the face of such defensive measures, even with the help of night at night, it is difficult for them to complete a task such as a night attack, and it is difficult for them to achieve any decent results.

They didn't think about what they could achieve, and the reason why they would go out at night this time was very simple and simple, that is, to make it impossible for the soldiers of the Attila Empire to rest properly.

They will deliberately trigger the enemy's set of alerts, so that the enemy has to gather and prepare for battle, if the opponent does not gather and does not intend to get up from the bed, then the feint can become a real attack, and directly launch a night attack.

Originally, the Baltic Empire was on the attacking side, and there were Sea Clans controlling the river, so in essence, the initiative in this battle was already in their hands.

The outcome of this war has spread throughout the Northland at the first time, giving a boost to all the forces that do not want to see the Baltic Empire unify the entire Northland, and making them more confident to resist the invasion of the Baltic Empire.

But on the other hand, the Baltic Empire was very calm, and neither the people below nor the rulers above were too surprised, and they did not care about this so-called defeat.

In their perception, the Attila Empire was a much more formidable enemy than the United Kingdom, and it was not surprising that it did not achieve its strategic objectives on the first day, and in terms of the ratio of losses to battle, the Baltic Empire was completely victorious.

People do not think that the Attila Empire has so many people and materials to fight a protracted war against the Baltic Empire, even if the war is won in one quarter, but if the time span is changed to one year, two years, three years, the Attila Empire will one day not be able to hold on.

What's more, people actually know that the first day of the battle is a tentative attack, and it doesn't matter how many results can be obtained, what really matters is what is worth paying attention to through this tentative battle, whether they find the weaknesses in the enemy's formation, and arrange for these weaknesses, so as to expand their own advantages in the subsequent battles.

Although the entire Baltic Empire is very calm, it does not mean that there are no anxious people, the commander who commanded this battle is actually the most anxious, the Baltic Empire is a powerful kingdom, this strength is reflected in all aspects of the empire, including talents, the excellent education system ensures that a large number of talents enter the army every year, because the empire has been in conflict with various surrounding forces, such as the Black Forest in the south, and the Ural Mountains in the east, so these people do not lack the opportunity to fight, nor lack the ability to win, let alone the achievements that make them rise to status。

So there are a lot of people who are qualified to compete for this position, because no general can refuse the temptation to go to war, all their honors, merits, wealth, and status are obtained through battle, and in the Baltics, there is a perfect and fair system, so that they do not worry about their achievements and rewards disproportionately.

Therefore, as the commander who was given command of this combat battle, he had nothing to question in terms of ability, status, and past achievements, but because of this, he had to do more than just defeat the army of the Attila Empire, such a difficult task could be easily completed even by other commanders.

What others do, he has to do, what others can't do, he has to do, not just victory, but a quick, great, brilliant victory, such a goal is not easy at all, because their opponent is not a fish belly, but that legendary Alice needs to take it seriously, and only fight after weakening the Attila Empire in various ways, and can only win victory, not a victory of complete annihilation.

Although the weather tonight was very good, whether it was the direction of the wind, the speed of the wind or the moonlight obscured by the dark clouds, it was very suitable for a night attack, and the centaurs and gnolls who had taken a short break to replenish their strength and water after dinner began to follow the frozen ice to the other side of the land, they actually did not have much time, because their task was to cause chaos and look for opportunities.

But an hour later, they came back in a little embarrassment, tonight's night attack could be regarded as a failure, they did not get too good, they could not even get close to the camp, they harassed or made noise from afar, they were taken over by the prepared Attila soldiers, and they were counterattacked by the Attila soldiers, and there were some losses.

In fact, it is not surprising that such a situation will occur, because the Attila Empire has suffered from night raids more than once in the last war, and it can even be said that Gom was able to win the final victory, which has a lot to do with those night raids, and it is precisely because of those attacks that some of the materials of the Attila Empire were burned and the morale of the soldiers was seriously damaged.

And night raids are a method that the Baltic Empire has always liked to use, so at night, the army of the Attila Empire was ready to deal with night raids early, they let some of the soldiers in the camp rest, let some soldiers guard and defend, and those arrow towers built around the camp were always guarded by soldiers, condescending to snipe any enemy who tried to approach the camp.

Actually, if you can, it's best to go straight back to the city, it's not far from the city behind you at all, even if you walk it, it takes you an hour to go back, and it's even faster to have a mount.

However, there is no way, now that the river is controlled by the Baltic Empire, they do not dare to use the city as a camp at all, even half an hour is enough for the Baltic Empire's troops to complete the landing, and build a camp for defense on this side of the land to gain a foothold.

The famine was not naïve, the other party would stop crossing the river because of the night, and he knew that in the army of the Baltic Empire, there was no shortage of races with [Dark Vision] or [Dark Vision], and darkness could not limit the ability of these races to move.

They don't want to see that they have to attack the camp of the Baltic Empire, which is more famous for its defense than it is to attack, and that is definitely not a situation they are willing to face.

The first day ended without waves, and when the first light appeared in the sky, the armies of both sides once again began to deploy across the river, but compared to yesterday's battle, the situation today will be more favorable for the Baltic Empire.

Although the large stones were washed away yesterday due to the strength of the water, some of them sank to the bottom of the river, making some sections of the river less deep.

Last night, the soldiers of the Baltic Empire were not conducting a night attack, or even the people of the Baltic Empire did not have much hope for this night attack, and did not think that this night attack could achieve such a good result.

Therefore, the commander of this army had a very bold idea, he let the troops who went out to attack at night attract the attention of the other side, and then let the other part of the army start to fill the river with gravel, stones and mud, because the river is too fast, and the effect of filling is not good, but it is enough for ordinary soldiers to walk upright across the river.

Of course, such a depth still can't let the cavalry through, in other words, in today's battle, those heavy cavalry still can't participate in this battle, which makes it impossible for the Baltic side to use the heavy cavalry to directly smash the formation, crush the enemy, and let the infantry behind divide and encircle.

There is no trace of the flying force in the sky above either side, and it is obvious that both sides do not plan to let the flying force end at this time today, but since the Empire was too tired yesterday to send spellcasters to participate in the battle, the Baltic Empire will also invest in spellcasters today.

From this point of view, today's battle will be even more fierce than yesterday's, and the casualties caused by the battle between the two sides will rise further, and if the two sides are investing in the air force, as well as the legendary and above forces, then this battlefield can become a veritable meat grinder.
