The good deeds you do today tend to be forgotten tomorrow, but you still have to do the good deeds anyway.

Roderick's personal attack, the brave charge of 38,000 Lucy cavalry, and the attack of 20,000 Lucy's elite soldiers, Lucy's army, which had almost all the advantages, successfully crushed the cannon fodder troops of the Eastern Alliance's southern army, but failed to disperse their main force.

The main force of the Eastern Alliance's southern army was composed of 50,000 soldiers with extremely rich combat experience, and they did not panic in the slightest when dealing with the charge of Lucy's cavalry, even if the opposing cavalry had rushed in front of them, their formation was still as steady as Mount Tai.

In the face of such a difficult opponent, Roderick, who had the advantage of cavalry, was helpless, he could not use his light cavalry to rush the enemy's dense infantry group, right?

Unwilling to give up, Roderick finally launched a tentative attack, but his cavalry not only failed to tear through the enemy's dense defenses, but left behind nearly 5,000 corpses after losing their mobility advantage.

After such a failed attempt, Roderick, whose cavalry had been reduced to 30,000, no longer hesitated, and he led his cavalry directly around the enemy's main army, and once again launched a surprise attack on the enemy's cannon fodder troops who were still stubbornly resisting.

In front of 20,000 Lucy elite soldiers attacked non-stop, and then 30,000 Lucy cavalry charged, and the cannon fodder army, which had already lost one-third of the total number of soldiers, was once again on the verge of collapse of the whole army.

This time, the thousands of soldiers of the Overseer behind them had been dispersed by the Lucy cavalry who had rushed from behind, and the soldiers of the cannon fodder unit who had lost the restraint of the Overseer finally collapsed after the Lucy cavalry cut through them for the third time!

The soldiers of the cannon fodder troops, who were full of fear, knew that the moment they turned around, their backs would be exposed to the enemy's sword, but they still chose to turn around and flee without hesitation;

Knowing that he could not defeat the main force of the enemy, Roderick ordered his cavalry to launch another round of pursuit and killing against the defeated enemy cannon fodder troops, and then he led his infantry army and turned back.

If the Eastern Alliance South Route Army, which wanted to entangle Lucy's army, wanted to pursue Roderick's troops who retreated on their own initiative, they must first clear the cannon fodder routs that blocked their advance;

If nothing else, the 50,000 main forces of the Eastern Alliance's southern route army would not even be able to complete the task of collecting the collapsed cannon fodder before dark; otherwise, how could Roderick be confident and bold to lead the army to evacuate directly?

While Roderick led the army to block the northward movement of the Eastern Alliance's southern route army, the 60,000 Lucy soldiers who were responsible for resisting the southward movement of the Eastern Alliance's northern route army also used a hearty victory to curb the southward movement of the Eastern Alliance's northern route army.

The Eastern Alliance's Northern Route Army, composed of 50,000 soldiers and 100,000 cannon fodder, launched 12 attacks on the Lucy soldiers who blocked them.

By the time Roderick led his army back to the battlefield, Hall's troops had already completed the encirclement and annihilation of Malen's remnants, and the 250,000 troops of Mullen's troops were completely annihilated by Roderick and Hall's Lucy Border Army in just four days!

The 250,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance's Mullen Division, the more than 80,000 cannon fodder of the Eastern Alliance's South Route Army, and the more than 60,000 cannon fodder of the Eastern Alliance's North Route Army; four days after the war began, Roderick and Hall joined forces to destroy the 400,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance!

And the price they paid for this was that 10,000 of the 40,000 cavalry of Luxi's 300,000 border army were killed, more than 70,000 of the 110,000 elite soldiers were killed, nearly 90,000 of the 150,000 second-line soldiers were killed, and the total of 170,000 soldiers of the whole army was killed, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and 30,000 cavalry were killed.

This statistic in front of Roderick and Hall looked encouraging, but in fact it made them feel helpless, because the Eastern Alliance still had 350,000 unfought troops, and their 130,000 infantry troops were tired troops who had been fighting for a long time.

Although they had blocked the attack of the Eastern Alliance's northern and southern armies in today's battle before dark, they would still come sooner or later, and tomorrow morning, the Eastern Alliance's northern and southern armies would complete the encirclement of their large armies.

The dark and windy night was a precious respite for the exhausted Lucy's army, and a stumbling block to their withdrawal from the battlefield, and the barbarian warriors, who were generally suffering from night blindness, could not do anything in the dark night.

Lighting torches to illuminate the dark night and then retreating at night is also a good idea, but lighting torches will not only illuminate the dark night, but will also attract the pursuing Eastern Alliance troops, and then it will definitely be a chaotic night battle.

Roderick and Hall, who had rarely managed to get a night's rest, did not intend to engage in a fierce battle with the Eastern Alliance forces at night;

As early as four days earlier, after receiving a report from Hall's cavalry, Roderick sent the cavalry that Hall had learned about the military intelligence to the rear, and at that time, Roderick did not know that the battle between the two armies would be so fierce and the casualties would be so heavy.

The current situation of 170,000 losses forced Roderick and Hall, who only had 130,000 exhausted divisions under their command, to ask for help from the tribal leader Viriasius in the rear;

From the barracks on the border of the Luxi tribe to the camp where its leader Viriasius was, it would take at least three days to call for reinforcements, no matter how fast the cavalry was, and by the time Viriasius learned of the situation at the front line and sent reinforcements to the front line, it would be half a month later.

The crux of the matter is, can the 130,000 tired divisions of Roderick and Hall be able to block the half-moon attack of the 350,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance? You must know that the bloody battle between the two armies in the previous four days directly led to the death of nearly 600,000 soldiers!

No matter how much Roderick and Hall did not want the dawn to come, the first rays of the morning sun still shone into their barracks, and the arrival of a new day meant that another day of bloody battle was about to begin for the soldiers of Lucy's army who had rested for the night.

The battlefield of the bloody battle a few days ago was densely packed with hundreds of thousands of corpses of soldiers of the two armies, which was no longer suitable for continuing as a battlefield, so Roderick and Hall did not lead the army to leave the barracks, but planned to increase the defensive time by defending the barracks.

To Roderick and Hall's expectations, the Eastern Alliance's northern and southern armies, which had really come together, were left with only 100,000 main soldiers to continue the encirclement after completing the encirclement of their barracks, and the rest of the cannon fodder troops were sent to clean up the battlefield.

There is no doubt that there must be a demon when things go wrong, but Roderick and Hall really couldn't guess what the purpose of the Eastern Alliance army was, but in any case, the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for them, so the two armies confronted each other around the barracks.
