Chapter 313: Goodbye Beyers
This dramatic prince-to-prince duel quietly unfolded on the battlefield without too many spectators, and Bayes is a magical powermaker of the wind system, and his strength attribute is higher than that of ordinary people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, his level is too low, and it doesn't make much difference to put it here.
As a result, in the combat effectiveness of this small circle, His Royal Highness Beyers, who inadvertently ran into a big fish and was inferior in numbers, was quickly cut off and almost slashed.
Fortunately, Griffith watched the six roads, and after slashing down an enemy general, he found that the back of a man in black armor not far away was somewhat familiar. He thought about it and failed to awaken the memory hidden deep in his mind, until the guy with a blue nose and swollen face who was beaten was once again beaten by someone else's left hook and spit out a front tooth and flew up 360 degrees in a bloody 360-degree whirlwind to see the guy's true face clearly.
"Damn?! ...... Beyers"
Griffith covered his face, he really couldn't imagine how such a mismatched guy could appear on this chaotic battlefield with a line of life and death.
But it's unreasonable, Beyers is the son of Prince Anta, the future Prince of Bajing, the only brother of his titular master, Princess Didias, plus this kid still has a little admiration for himself, and he has helped himself a lot before......
So Griffith tilted his head and thought about it, and finally turned the horse's head and saved Beyers from the hands of everyone with great mercy.
……
……
Although the course of the war was thrilling, the damage was also great. However, the Great Demon and Liang Qiu's wisdom strategized the right benefits. The two of them took the lead, and their execution was also guaranteed. Coerced by the clever trick of the deserters to charge the battle, supplemented by a wide range of rumors, the Sakura Kingdom side, the defeat was like a mountain, and the collapse was not unpleasant.
And the city of Braun after the war was indeed miserable and miserable.
Griffith, wearing a cold mask, rode a tall horse and walked through the south gate of the city of Braun. He returned victoriously with reinforcements, followed by a group of troops dressed in light black armor, and the sound of horses' hooves lined up in the quiet alleys.
Houses not far away were burning, and the light rain was steaming into distorted air before it had even fallen in the smoke.
The narrow streets are littered with corpses, dragged together by their legs, lined up in rows waiting to be claimed by their loved ones. Occasionally, bandaged wounds and sick walked silently or mournfully into the shadows of the corners, and people who survived the war numbly walked out of the creaking doors......
In the distance, there was ecstasy, angry scolding, and low crying, and angry rebukes mixed in, and at this time, the autumn rain was completely let go after two days of brewing, and poured down with an uproar.
The black-armored general with a dirty face was supported by others, and now on the city wall, he trembled and took out his pipe from his side, put it in his mouth, and looked at the city. In the midst of the smoke, rain and flames, black crows hovered in the air, a victory for the city of Braun......
In the western section of the ruined city wall, the girl standing on the top of the wall bowed her waist and gently closed the eyes of a warrior with her dirty hand. The man was dead, dressed in black armor, and looked peaceful. She raised her head to look at the group that had entered the city in silence, her eyes trembled, and after the cruel war, the aftermath of the rhyme exploded, and in the face of the wailing and hysteria that filled the city, this strong-looking girl showed a little weakness and sentimentality that a woman should have......
Griffith rolled over and dismounted, slamming on the bluestone slab. He took off his helmet and removed the fragmented light armor that had been cut off on his body, and there were some injuries to his waist and abdomen, which were not too serious, with a little blood......
The big demon stopped on the bluestone plank road, and in the magnificent autumn rain, he closed his eyes and felt the complex and oppressive veins of the city's vitality and death. It's hard to be happy in my heart.
But in any case, the battle was won. Moreover, it was a decisive victory in the early stage of the war.
Defending Bolang City and annihilating the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Division of the Sakura Kingdom, this means that the Ophela Empire has cut off the tentacles of the coalition led by the Xiri Empire reaching out within the empire.
Some people may think that just two regiments are nothing compared to the vast territory and huge population base of the Ophela Empire.
There's nothing wrong with that, it's just a little too metaphysical and subjectivist.
The 3rd and 7th regiments of the 4th Division of the Sakura Kingdom, which broke through the border guards of the empire and entered the interior of the empire, were like pawns crossing the river. Although it may seem to have little effect, if left unchecked, it will soon threaten the central cities of the Ophela Empire.
Especially after the coalition forces broke through the city of Braun, the relatively gentle central and northern areas of the Horse and the Flat River will be like a little girl who has been stripped of her clothes, and the 3rd and 7th regiments will be completely undefended.
And when the time comes, the 3rd and 7th regiments can have countless route plans, burn and loot villages and towns, although they may not be able to attack the city again, but the great autumn wind slaughtering the villages or something is as easy as a finger, but it can cause enough panic behind the enemy, so it is foreseeable that a large part of the Ophela Empire will be involved.
What's worse is that the pawns who cross the river are very difficult to destroy. In the north-central region of the Ophela Empire, there is a large enough strategic depth and relatively small but still large mountains and forests compared to other regions.
The 3rd and 7th Regiments, which are highly mobile and flexible in command, can theoretically take advantage of this complex terrain to avoid all kinds of encirclement and suppression of the Imperial City of Ophela. Stir up trouble within the empire, and form a two-sided trend with the coalition forces on the border.
This time, Braun City cleanly wiped out the 3rd and 7th Army Corps of the 4th Division, which was really unbelievable in the eyes of all the generals who knew how to use troops.
Whether it was Pisa unexpectedly dragging off the opponent's attack and waiting until reinforcements arrived, or Liang Qiuzhi's unexpected reconnaissance ability or Griffith's ability to break the game, in this war, they were all unexpected factors.
Of course, the victory of this war carried a lot of luck and luck. In fact, this time to send reinforcements, at the beginning, Griffith did not understand the situation and did not form a too three-dimensional concept.
But when he thinks about it and learns something from others, he doesn't think much of it. I think that at the beginning, all the generals under Prince Anta's account were all advocating to give up Braun City.
After entering the city of Braun, Didias, the acting lord, immediately took the burden and returned the position of city lord to Griffith.
The big demon is not a hypocrisy, he took control of the current leader of Braun City, and asked people to submit the relevant documents of Braun City one by one for review.
After the war, there are many things to deal with in the city of Braun, such as the statistics of casualties, the compensation of the dead soldiers, the rewards of military merit, the resettlement of the homeless, etc., which are all practical problems in front of us.
Griffith picked out a few of the big and urgent things for review, and the rest of the bits and pieces, he roughly reviewed them, and then handed them over to the relevant professionals below. After all, when Griffith was away, they were always doing it.
After the Battle of Porham, on the third day of victory, the atmosphere of sorrow and ecstasy in the city had not completely subsided. Walking along the post road in the middle of the castle, which has been wiped with blood, the sound of mourning can be heard everywhere. The ground is also covered with white chrysanthemum petals.
Griffith once saw a hunchbacked old man walking aimlessly down the street with a little girl of seven or eight years old, and he was asked why, but he did not speak. The girl's father died in battle, and after the city of Braun was destroyed, her mother was dragged out and killed by the soldiers in red armor......
Due to the brutal nature of war, this kind of thing is not uncommon in small post-war towns. An old man and a young man walked numbly behind the crowd, looking around with vacant eyes as if they were looking for something. However, those things that once existed, after that crazy battle with a surging crowd, have long been coldly worn out.
There are many similar things, lonely old people who die at home, children who starve to death. Of course, there are also happy and relieved people who cry with joy when they are reunited...... Of course, this is only a short period of peace and sorrow after the war, and it is only a very small thing for the whole world, the frontier of heavy confrontation.
As for the general environment, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the borders of the empire are burning the land like a raging fire. While the city of Braun was licking its wounds in the ruins, there were tens of thousands of soldiers on the border, blocking the cold butcher's knives of the invading coalition army......
The imprint that war can leave on human beings will always be pain and tears.
After completely annihilating the 3rd and 7th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Sakura Kingdom, Braun City captured a large number of weapons and armor, including 100 pairs of spears, long knives, short knives, giant steel shields, 700 ordinary steel shields, countless daily necessities such as leather shields, grass shields and iron pots, and even 800 war horses.
However, grain and grass were relatively scarce, and the total amount was less than one-tenth of the reserves of the city of Braun, which was mainly related to the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness implemented by the empire in the early days of the war.
After rescuing His Royal Highness Beyers, Griffith wanted to send him back to Prince Anta, but this kid was very stubborn and didn't leave.
In desperation, Griffith had no choice but to send a messenger to give Prince Anta a reaction to the situation here. It is believed that in the past few days since His Royal Highness Beyers disappeared, the entire Anta camp will be turned upside down.
A few days later, Prince Anta also replied, one for Griffith and the other for Didias and Beyers.
Surprisingly, Prince Anta did not have too strong a word of opposition to Beyers's insistence on staying in the city of Braun, which was close to the front line of the war. The brilliant father, who had been depressed all his life, said, 'Let this boy see the cruelty of war, don't daydream with a pestle all day, it's time to see the adult world'.
So His Royal Highness Beyers stayed so naturally.
The so-called tiger father Sister Yan, my father has passed, and in recent days, Bayes is accepting the teachings of Didas with a bitter face, nodding and bowing.
Today is a sunny day, a rare sunny day.
Griffith stood on the city wall and looked into the city, and the smoke of the cooking and the low layout of the farmhouse made the big demon really touch the real sense of life.
He touched his face and turned his gaze to the post-war town. In the side courtyard near the city lord's mansion, a girl with a crossed waist was vigorously training the future prince, His Royal Highness Beyers, who was half a head shorter than His Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, was a little afraid of his sister, he was reprimanded a few words, his eyebrows were low, and he didn't dare to talk back. His Royal Highness the future prince leaned sideways at this time, his hands were restlessly frustrating the corners of his clothes, and the soles of his feet were rubbing the ground for a while, looking very angry and weak.
