Chapter 523: Counting Losses

The flight of the mercenaries officially marked the defeat of the Duke of Vallar's side, and the recruits could not help but cheer as they watched the fleeing enemy, and this was their first battle, and the victory made them excited, although the army of Denlenburg had been almost invincible all these years.

And those veterans who survived a hundred battles did not have such gaffes as the recruits, they were all veterans who came out of one victory after another, and they had long been indifferent to this victory, and even began to take it for granted, if the Denlenburg army was defeated, it would make them feel strange and angry.

The enemy gradually moved away from the ranks of the Denlenburg army, and this time it was finally the turn of the archers to perform.

Previously, when the two armies met, the archers did not shoot in order to prevent accidental injury, but this time the enemy gave the archers a chance to shoot again.

The archers took their bows and shot arrows again.

The fleeing enemy heard the sharp whistling sound behind him, and immediately remembered the nightmarish arrow strike from before.

They were in the rain of arrows at the time of two-fifths of the soldiers.

Four hundred arrows were fired, and since the enemy did not have a shield to defend this time, the casualties were far greater than the previous shots.

This round of shooting directly caused more than 200 casualties to the enemy, they fell to the ground and screamed heartbreakingly, pulling the trouser legs of their comrades in the hope that the other party could help them, but they were kicked away by the other party, desperately waiting for death to come on the spot.

The archers fired three more rounds of arrows, again inflicting more than 500 casualties on the enemy.

In the previous hand-to-hand combat, they had lost six or seven hundred men, and two bow and arrow strikes had caused fifteen hundred casualties, so they were lucky to have three hundred left.

They ran out of range of the archers, but that didn't hurt, and the escape of a few hundred men wouldn't have any bad impact on the outcome of the battle.

After defeating the enemy, Norwen subconsciously glanced at the Duke of Vallar, and he was shocked to find that the Duke of Valar was not there.

He immediately shouted, "The Duke of Vallar has fled!" The Duke of Vallar fled! We've won! ”

The entire Denlenburg army shouted along with him, and the neat shouts of nearly two thousand soldiers were enough for the entire battlefield to be heard clearly.

Of course, the enemy also heard this shout, and the enemy's Chinese army was affected by this, and suddenly the formation was unstable, and they all looked at the previous position of the Duke of Vallar, and they were shocked to find that the Duke of Valar was really not in place.

"Is what the enemy is telling the truth? Your Majesty, has he really abandoned us? ”

The soldiers thought about this in their hearts, they were all soldiers relied on by the Duke of Vallar, and they were also quite supportive of the Duke of Vallar.

Therefore, when they heard the news of the flight of the Duke of Vallar, their morale quickly took a huge hit.

"The Duke of Vallar has abandoned you! Why are you fighting for him? Lay down your weapons! You will be forgiven! ”

The soldiers on Arthur's side quickly seized the opportunity, and all shouted at the enemy in front of them.

The enemy became chaotic in the rising wave of voices, and many soldiers fell directly to the ground to disarm and surrender, while many more ran backwards, trying to escape the battlefield.

The Duke of Vallar had abandoned them, and every soldier was aware of this, so they had no reason to fight for the Duke of Vallar.

Bedwell breathed a sigh of relief in the group, the enemy knights had almost broken through the formation when they were attacking the formation.

When the news of the flight of the Duke of Vallar spread throughout the battlefield, the nobles quickly recalled their knights and quickly fled the battlefield with their troops.

The enemy's front has completely collapsed, and if it were not for the timely arrival of this news, I am afraid that the right flank of the troops would have been crushed by the enemy.

And those knights also heard this shout, and the knights directly under the Duke of Valar fled directly from the battlefield without a little mud and water.

When Ken Rader heard the news, his face was gloomy, and he cursed the Duke of Vallar fiercely, and his move directly put himself and the others in danger.

However, he also knew that the top priority now was to gather all the Holy Grail Knights and escape from here as soon as possible.

Now that the Duke of Valar has fled, there is no need for him, the man who acts as an assistant, to stay here.

Ken Ride was surrounded by several knights to protect him, he waved the banner and hurried the knights, and when all the Grail Knights gathered for him, he gave a simple tap.

Before the start of the war, there were only more than 180 people left, and more than 111 people died directly on the battlefield.

Now, there was only one thing for Arthur's warriors to do, and that was to pursue the fleeing enemy.

As for the knights, they returned to their camp after the enemy fled.

Their horses had consumed too much physical strength in the charge and horseback battle just now, and they could no longer carry out the pursuit mission.

The Iron Cross Knights went straight back to Norwen's side, and after counting them, the Iron Cross Knights' losses had been counted.

In the battle just now, ninety-seven of them were killed on the battlefield, and nearly half of them were killed or wounded.

And the dragon prince's cavalry also lost more than fifty people, after all, they were not the main force of the charge, and the physical strength they had when they took the medicine during the horseback battle also allowed them to fight with ease, so the casualties were not large.

Arthur's three hundred ordinary knights also lost more than a hundred, as for the losses of the enemy knights, it is impossible to count, the knights only have piles of rotten meat on the battlefield, and there are large pieces of broken copper and iron that have been trampled by war horses, and it is impossible to tell who is who.

The losses of the Denglenburg infantry were not large, only a few dozen were killed, all of them were sword and shield infantry standing in the front line, and most of them were new recruits.

They deserved double the wages of pikemen, a casualty rate worthy of their salaries.

On Arthur's side, just over 700 of the 1,500 soldiers of the right wing army led by Bedwell remained, more than half of them were killed and almost all of them were wounded.

The 1,200 Red Dragon Guards of the Chinese army also lost more than 400 people, but the record was also very brilliant, with more than 400 casualties in exchange for the enemy's losses of more than 1,500 people, which is an amazing record.

However, the most eye-catching of this battle was the archers of Denlenburg, who suffered no casualties at all, and inflicted a loss of 1,500 men on the enemy, and dealt a great blow to the enemy's period.

The battle has been won, and Arthur's next goal is to go straight to the city of Carmellot, and if it is captured, then his restoration will be completely successful.

At this time, a bright smile appeared on his face, like the sun in summer, and even the haze caused by Alia's disappearance was washed away a lot.

But he secretly vowed in his heart that he would spend his life looking for his sister.
