Chapter 326: Preserving Strength

At this time, the king of Brolin only had about 7,000 soldiers who could still fight under the castle, and the rest of the nearly 10,000 men had already been sent to the city walls or consumed on the battlefield.

King Brolin was stunned for a moment, then began to thunder, and he took off the magnificent gold-encrusted helmet he was wearing on his head, and threw it to the ground.

"Why! Why is there such a number of enemies! And I didn't get any news! ”

King Brolin looked at the surrounding nobles fiercely with a bloodshot gaze, and his fierce gaze looked like a hungry wolf who had fallen into a desperate situation and chose people to devour, extremely cruel.

Such a gaze was rare in the eyes of the usually majestic and benevolent King of Brolin, and it could even be said that it had never appeared.

Therefore, when he looked at the nobles with such an expression, not only did he make everyone feel kinship, but he also felt a thunderbolt from the sky because of the appearance of the enemy.

"General Yousen!"

King Brolin shouted, turning his gaze to General Yousen on the side: "Why did we receive the news in advance?" That's clearly the banner of the Kingdom of Lillard! Why are they here! ”

This questioning tone made General Yousen stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the enemy must have arranged this operation very secretly, and our spy force must have been deceived by the enemy!" ”

King Brolin took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart and the uneasiness of the battle, began to calm down, and said, "Now, we must stop the enemy's offensive and minimize casualties!" ”

"Also, order the heralds to rule over Earl William, Earl Kliman, and Count Suttle, and let the three of them come here with troops to support at once!"

Having received orders from King Brolin, General Yousin hurriedly began to make arrangements to deal with the situation in front of him.

"Viscount Mu Youen, you go and take my order to the front line and the city wall, so that the soldiers who did not rush to the city wall will come back immediately, and those soldiers who rushed to the city wall will be left alone for the time being!"

General Yousen also took off his helmet, revealing his old face and gray hair below, and said, "If you understand, do it immediately!" We're out of time! ”

Viscount Mouyon nodded, indicating that he understood, and went to the front with the voucher given to him by General Yousen, where most of the royal army of King Brolin was located.

Then General Yousen began to continue his deployment, and looking at the battlefield, he knew that it was impossible to conquer the castle or defeat the enemy's reinforcements.

Until then, he divided the 3,000 soldiers who had not yet entered the battle and were not attacked by the enemy into three parts, and tried to rescue the attacked soldiers as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, all noble nobles!" General Yousen raised his voice and said to King Brolin and the other nobles, "Now we have no chance of victory, we must retreat first, and then wait for the three counts to lead their armies to support!" ”

"Even, I feel that if necessary, we will also ask for help from the White Rose Kingdom!"

General Yousen's tone was a little low, but there was no doubt about the information and correctness contained in it, after all, he was a veteran of more than forty years of war, and he had extraordinary prestige in the entire kingdom.

Even William, who has the title of the Fox of Denlenburg and has not lost a single battle, cannot compare with General Yousen in terms of military fame.

Listening to General Yousen's words, King Brolin couldn't help but take a deep breath, and even when he inhaled, he trembled slightly.

This situation is too big a blow for him, he is not only distressed by the strength he has worked hard to accumulate over the years, after all, the troops are gone, and they can continue to accumulate, such a fiasco is also a considerable blow to his prestige.

It would take quite a long time to establish prestige, and this blow was enough to blow King Brolin's prestige to a sharp end.

What's more, if this defeat caused him to lose more than half of his troops, then the Kingdom of Cikma was even in danger of falling.

Although half of the fall of a kingdom on the road is due to annexation, at most it is the fall of a dynasty, and a family loses its position in the royal family, and the crown of the country still exists.

Usually no one would cancel the existence of a nation, after all, in the eyes of all, the right to a crown comes from the Holy Father.

William's previous life in Western Europe was also in this pattern, and the British throne was controlled by many families, such as the Stuart dynasty and the Tudor dynasty, all of which were different families with the crown of the same country.

The Holy Roman Empire also alternated the throne between several countries, a model known as the electorate, and the current Empire of Rhodeland was also a similar electoral model.

However, having said that, the monarchy is divinely granted, but after all, there is a church involved in this action, and they are the spokesmen of the Holy Father in the world.

At that time, if their entire army is wiped out and their strength is drastically reduced, then it is not impossible for the Tskema Kingdom to be destroyed, not to mention, even if they are afraid that the destruction of the Tskema Kingdom will have too great an impact, then it is not impossible to change to a puppet royal family.

However, King Brolin now has no choice but to retreat to preserve his living forces, even if his family is the founding royal family of the Kingdom of Tskema, it will not have any effect.

"Okay!" King Brolin sighed and said helplessly: "Hold our living force as much as possible, this time it is my responsibility, next time I will definitely completely destroy the Duchy of Bunkerson!" ”

With that, King Brolin was silent and asked General Youssen to begin to command his army.

Although the knights had been defeated, not all of them were killed or captured, and about 500 of them fled to King Brolin's side.

"Are you sure you've gathered all the troops you can take away?"

General Yousen asked Viscount Muyon, who had returned to his side.

"Yes, my lord, all the troops who can be taken away have gathered together with their opinions, and the others are fighting with the enemy, just enough to delay time for us!"

General Yousen looked around and found that there were more than 15,000 troops when they came, but now there were only about 7,000 men left, and more than half of them had been lost.

And such battle damage, but not to get any return, but to be chased by the enemy like a lost dog in all directions.

At this time, among the enemies, General Dampier was smiling as the army of the Kingdom of Lillard launched a furious attack on the enemy under the command of their young and vigorous general.

"I'm still young and vigorous, if I'm still so impatient in the future...... Hehe......"

General Dampier stroked his big bald head and said meaningfully.
