Chapter 67: Postscript to the Western Expedition
Everyone looked into the distance...
After a long time, Xiao Chuan said slowly: "Okay, although we suffered heavy losses this time, but in general, we were victorious, and we broke more than twice the enemy with less than two thousand troops, Hu Qun, you surprised me very much."
"The chief said with a smile, this time the enemy raised troops to counterattack, I didn't expect it in advance, if it wasn't for the group of people who suddenly appeared, I'm afraid that the dozens of people who survived would also..., you are all good, but my mistake was..., I shouldn't have ......", Hu Qun choked up several times.
"It's our honor to be led by the chief, how could you create such a legend without you, why do you blame yourself", Li Aihua said excitedly.
"Yes, yes, how could you have slaughtered the Black Devil Army without you! … Let's start talking about it. ”
"Okay, the wounded are not seriously bandaged and cleaned up the battlefield, Saudi Arabia, I order you to quickly bring the logistics personnel over, now that the enemy army is defeated and fled, it is safe for the time being, quickly tidy up the battlefield and treat the wounded", Xiao Czech said.
"Yes", Saudi Arabia replied loudly, can he not be happy, so many people only let him go, it must be because of his attention, he secretly rejoiced.
Then came the hectic clean-up, collecting weapons, burying the bodies...
There was a strong smell of burning in the smoke of gunpowder, everywhere was a mess, everywhere was still burning with weeds and leaves, on the sandy land with potholes and bloody mud, there were countless corpses lying horizontally among the fallen trees, walking a little towards the edge of this bloody muddy field, not far from the city that had long since extinguished the fire and was still standing, because of insufficient burning and charred black, as if it was witnessing the cruelty of this war...
Is that the end of it?
No! This is just the beginning.
Due to the heavy losses of the Black Evil Empire in this battle, the surrounding countries that have been peeping at it for a long time, such as the Peter Empire above and the Luoxing Empire below, will definitely pose an immeasurable threat to it.
And what about Special Olympics? As a result of the Holy Sacrifice Aken. Na Zheng blindly launched a war, resulting in the Western Expedition operation fell into the trap of the Black Evil Empire, under the disparity of 5 times the strength of the enemy and us, although the Western Expeditionary Legion of many cities and strong generals broke the enemy army under the leadership of Hu Qun, but also made the Western Expeditionary Legion almost completely wiped out, this is not a defeat in a victory, and the Special Ao Empire will also face a situation of emptiness of troops in the future, how should it move forward in this turbulent world?
(After reading the ten chapters of the war clip, everyone's vision is also tired, and I am also running out of words, so I will continue, I have buried a lot of dark lines in front of me, and I will slowly dig them out when the time comes... )
(Morning of 17/08/424 Maya)
Outside the Imperial Teacher's Mansion of Teotihuakan, the generals of the Western Expeditionary Corps stood waiting for the appearance of the Nazheng sacrifice...
Last night, the Shaw Celestial Priest had sent someone to inform Akon, who was far away in the imperial capital of Tubik. Na Zheng: "Report...", outside the Na Zheng Sacrifice Mansion, a soldier with black clothes and tattered clothes panted loudly.
In front of the gate, there is a traditional Rui beast, and the whole house is made of stones of different sizes and shapes, and the gaps formed by the masonry form a variety of beautiful patterns, which are pleasing to the eye, and the whole is facing the west gate and facing the east.
"Stop, who are you?" The guards intercepted.
"Hurry up and report, there is important information on the westward expedition", another burst of gasp.
When the guards heard this, they hurriedly said: "Come with me, Nazheng is waiting in the mansion!"
"Ma Gu, you are guarding here, and I will take him in," said Guard A.
When he came to the room, the guard knocked on the door and asked respectfully: "Nazheng sacrifice, there are soldiers from the Western Expedition who have brought information back, I don't know...".
"Okay, come in!" Inside then responded.
The soldiers of the Western Expedition walked in tremblingly, the room was a little dim, there was no lack of taste and elegance under the luxurious costumes, the floor was covered with an unknown layer of weaving, and the walls were lined with Mayan inscriptions.
"See Na... Accept... Na Zheng. sacrifice", due to excessive tension, the words were slurred, and the body could not stop trembling.
"Hehe, get up! Let's talk about the situation of the Western Expedition", his whole body was shrouded in black, and his eyes on his white beard flashed with leanness.
"Okay, at the beginning, the Great Sage Sacrifice handed over the command to Battalion Commander Hu Qun, and he led the sacrifice team from the back mountain to the Jute Hou Granary Weapons Depot. After Commander Hu Qun broke through the enemy's front position and annihilated more than 200 sacrificial soldiers and thousands of soldiers of the Special Olympics Army, Commander Xiao also designed to break the reserve behind the enemy."
"What? In the first engagement, more than 200 enemy troops were annihilated, and more than 1,000 soldiers? And what about the casualties of our army? "Akon. Na Zhenglian asked.
So the soldiers explained the details of how to fight, how Hu Qun designed to break the enemy's position, and then the first to rush into the enemy camp..., so our casualties in this battle were no more than 500.
Ken. The more Na Zheng listened, the more surprised he became, he didn't think that this expedition would have any effect at all, so he didn't expect that it would be the first time..., "You go on!" His joy was palpable.
The soldier then said: In the next few days, acting on the enemy's fear, the strange straw man was hung on the wooden shield to form a wooden shield array, which consumed the bow and crossbow of the Black Evil Army, making it lack long-range weapons, and Chief Xiao destroyed the enemy's arsenal and granary... Put the enemy in a dilemma.
But in this case, the enemy attacked our camp in the evening, and thousands of enemies came under the leadership of the intermediate holy priests...
Commander Hu quickly ordered the sacrificial battalion to disperse to meet the enemy, while the infantry re-integrated with weapon attributes, bows, crossbows, spears, and swordsmen, and Qiu Qingping used the scroll forbidden technique when he was defeated by Chen Xiumin's sacrifice, causing a meteorite flow, and the enemy soldiers died nearly a thousand, and our side...
The soldier paused and said, "Less than 60 sacrifices have returned."
"What, more than 180 sacrifices survived less than 60?" Ken. Na Zheng was surprised.
"The meteorite fell from the sky, and there was almost no chance of reacting, and many soldiers of the Black Evil Army killed each other to survive, but less than 100 survived," the soldier explained.
"Well, this Czech kid is not bad! Look at it this way, the enemy will suffer even greater losses", Akon. Na Zhengpi smiled and didn't smile.
"Well, you can keep talking!" He came back to his senses and said.
At first, the soldiers were still worried about Akon. Na Zheng was cloudy and sunny, but when he heard this, he continued: "In the future, although the enemy suffered heavy losses in terms of tactics, it was still more than twice as much as our army, so Chief Hu asked Chief Xiao to withdraw with all the sacrifices first, and let the infantry break off, when we were desperate, suddenly a team of infantry wearing golden armor appeared, like a hell soul messenger, the sword saw blood, the sword sealed the throat, and finally let the black army flee in defeat, before and after we killed the enemy with more than 1,800 troops close to 5,000, and our army with more than 100 wounded survived, Chief Xiao asked me to bring the letter back, he settled in the city of Fija and the wounded will return tomorrow morning. ”
This makes Akon. Na Zheng was shocked, if he failed, he didn't feel anything, he actually broke through the giant town that was defending the city close to 5000, if there were more soldiers, wouldn't it...? Can the infantry really make a big difference? Am I wrong about the restrictions on infantry? With my current ability, I am afraid that the infantry will be bad for me? As long as I can break through the current bottleneck, why should I care about the rights of a small country? Anyway, now I need a retreat, so why not...
"Well, got it, you go out first!" Ken. Na Zheng rarely said softly.
"Yes, then I'll retreat first", the soldier slowly moved out until the door was closed. Nazheng still has no response.
……………
Soon after, the door of the room opened automatically, and out came a black-clad and somewhat pale Akhena, looking at the people under the stairs, and it was obvious that everyone was full of exhaustion, but still standing with a full face... He looked around, made eye contact, and said slowly: "First of all, I have to thank you, thank all the soldiers of the Western Expedition, you have done a good job!" ”
"Nazheng sacrificed, Chief Xiao gave me the command, but I let the soldiers suffer heavy losses, please punish me!" Hu Qun knelt down at this time and said.
"Big brother, Hu Qun, Chief Hu ......", everyone shouted in unison.
"Master, who would have achieved such brilliant results without him? I don't think there are many people who can achieve such an impressive record under such a disparity in troops! Chen Xiumin pouted.
"Yes, yes!" Without the eldest brother, we wouldn't have been able to come back a long time ago, let alone how many enemies we have broken, Qi Buqian also complained.
After a while of complaining, seeing that no one spoke, Akon. Na Zhengcai smiled with his hands behind his back: "I know what you said, but the biggest responsibility should be on me, before I hand over the rights of the national teacher, I want to say a little about the punishment of this western expedition."
"What? Master, do you want to hand over the rights? Could it be...", Xiao Czech said abruptly.
"I was disturbed by the heavy losses of the soldiers in this operation due to my bad decisions; In addition, I recently discovered a scroll, and if I crack it, it is possible to improve the ability of sacrifice, and I need to retreat and study. "Akon. Na Zheng smiled.
"Scrolls?" The crowd was amazed.
"First of all, during my absence, Xiao Czechuan will temporarily take my place, and Kapil and you have already arranged the next tasks for you, and the soldiers who go out to Jute this time are directly eligible to be selected for the Imperial Academy, depending on their personal wishes, and a few of you will teach the next students together with other sacrifices; And Hu Qun, your ability to perform on the battlefield is obvious to all, your ability to command the overall situation is what the current army lacks, it is my personal concept that is too narrow, the battlefield should be your world, I will give you a year, if you can train elite soldiers to recover Jute, I will consider applying to King Attar to abolish the 'wartime military service' system, otherwise don't think about anything, this time in addition to the soldiers of the Western Expedition, recruit ten to twenty more, I hope you can succeed; Although this time it has dealt a heavy blow to the Black Empire, we have suffered a lot of losses, so we must recruit soldiers in advance, and the rest will be handled by Xiao Zhe". Na Zheng said.
This made everyone wrong, give up power? Relax the selection of infantry? Xiao Chuan was stupid, Hu Qun was stunned, the sacrificers were stunned, and the soldiers were stunned...
And after the Black Demon Empire received the news of the defeat, the Great Sage Sacrifice Chen Lengfeng was shocked, such a powerful deployment of troops actually had such a loss...
And at this time, Qiu Huacheng came with the news that the beast clan was about to break through the city gate, which made the anxious Chen Lengfeng even worse, and the white hair was displayed on his body overnight, but the black hair already had white hair and sideburns, and then he personally led the team to gather the elite soldiers around the royal capital of Teklabi to resist the invasion of the beast clan.
And at this time, a large number of Peter Empire and Luoxing clans outside the border showed signs of abnormal army movements, and the imperial commander Jia Minci quickly reported to Pi Kes after receiving the information, and the black conscription orders were raised everywhere, and it seemed that the world would be in chaos again...
