Chapter 45 II Confrontation

Seeing Brooks fall off the horse, Alam didn't have time to think about it and pounced. As soon as Brooks' body hit the ground, he immediately took advantage of the momentum and rolled, Alam pounced, but Alam also reacted quickly, and before Brooks got up, he clasped his legs with his feet, Brooks' center of gravity was unstable and fell back to the ground, Alam immediately pounced and scuffled with him.

At this time, Brooks's Yaki soldiers were also engaged in a scuffle with Alam's men, and both sides tried to regain their main general, and the two people rolling on the ground were almost trampled to death by the group of scrambled soldiers. At this time, the flank of the Yaki soldiers was attacked by the Eglius team, and the Yaki soldiers could not resist and retreated.

By the time Eglius' forces took control of the situation and separated the two men who were scuffling together, Aram had a bruised nose and swollen face, while Brooks had only a few scars - Brooks was surprisingly an expert in hand-to-hand combat.

"Enemy general, you have become our prisoner, as long as you do not act inappropriately, I will guarantee your life and treat you with courtesy." Eglius jumped off the horse and said politely.

"Shut up!" It wasn't Brooks who scolded, but Aram: "Eglius, open your eyes and see clearly!" What have I been beaten up by him? Why don't you just slash this bastard! ”

Eglius looked at Alam's injury, in fact, Alam's injury was not serious, but it looked quite miserable, so he said lightly: "Who told you to pounce so impulsively?" I'm sure you won't lose to him if you fight with your swordsmanship. Besides, I use a stick, so I can't cut people. ”

"You ??????" Alam was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him (of course, he hadn't grown a beard yet), of course, he couldn't say that he was afraid that the credit for capturing the enemy general would be snatched away by Li Tianhao, so he rushed to Brooks. Eglius's tepid attitude made him angry and unable to let it out.

Brooks stood up and dusted off his body. Then he bowed and said, "Under Brooks, Your Excellency looks like a man who knows how to count." Then I will entrust my life to Your Excellency. ”

"What do you mean? He understands etiquette, are you saying I don't understand etiquette? Alam poured all the fire on Brooks' head, but he hadn't retaliated yet.

Eglius returned the salute: "It turned out to be Lord Brooks, so please come here." ”

With that, Aglius led Brooks' horse, then jumped on his horse and led the way. Brooks also rolled over and followed, and Alam spat hatefully. I followed.

The Yaji army, which had lost its main general, quickly recognized the situation and began to scatter as birds and beasts to find a way to survive, Li Tianhao did not chase after covering up for a while, and led his troops back. In fact, Li Tianhao knew that the other party still had the strength to spare, and it would be useless to pursue him, not to mention that the result of losing Leo had cast a shadow on this battle.

At this point, the Battle of Chid'ek came to an end. The outcome of the battle ended with the withdrawal of the Yaqui Army from the Epsommitton area and the victory of the Dils Army. In this battle, the Yaki army lost more than 40,000 men. And the Dils army also had nearly 30,000 casualties, which can be said to be comparable, because the final loss rate of the 20,000 ambush troops led by Brooks was as high as 80 percent, if the losses in this final stage are removed. In the first half of the battle, the casualties of the Dils army were higher than those of the Yagi army, so this can be said to be the heaviest loss of the Dils army in the history of the battle.

The reason why this battle will go down in history and will be talked about by later generations of war historians. On the one hand, it is because Libera used a new formation in this battle and passed it on to future generations, and on the other hand, because this is the first confrontation between Li Tianhao and Libera, the old enemies. At the same time, neither of them played their true colors as commanders in this battle, but fought each other as a charging general. This is the first and penultimate time in their long history.

Due to the relatively close casualty figures on both sides, there are also some good people who think that the performance of the Central Asian Army in this battle is good, and if Libera can really stand in the perspective of commanding the overall situation, maybe the outcome will be different. But the opponents pointed out that this was the ironclad evidence that Libera fell for the plan set up by Wei Song and Li Tianhao, and it was precisely because Li Tianhao personally participated in the battle to attract Libera to leave the command post that he won the opportunity to crack the new formation of the Yaji Army. The result of the debate among scholars is that it is often overlooked that it was Wei Song who played a decisive role in the first attack of the Dils army on Yaqui territory, and although the prestige Wei Song established in this battle was not enough to convince everyone, it was his first step to becoming Li Tianhao's most important commander.

After the battle, as soon as Li Tianhao returned to the camp, he immediately went to visit the wounded general. In this battle, Jimda was wounded by Brooks' arrows, which was neither fatal nor light; Momobutu was shot in the abdomen during the scuffle; In addition, Agobar, who took Campbell's head, was seriously injured. Although Agobar won the battle between Agobar and Campbell, Campbell inflicted heavy losses on Agobar with his own life. Afterwards, the Nubian warrior continued to fight despite his injuries until he fainted due to excessive blood loss and was rescued by his men.

After asking the medical officer about the injuries of the three people, Li Tianhao was relieved. At this time, someone came to report that Brooks, the enemy general captured by Aglius and Alam, had been brought to his tent, and Li Tianhao hurried over.

As soon as he stepped into the camp, Li Tianhao couldn't help laughing, because Alam's face was blue and purple, and it was the first time since he followed Li Tianhao that he was beaten so badly.

Li Tianhao smiled: "How did you get like this?" I saw you pounce and thought you were sure of victory, so it looks like you've been cleaned up. It was Egrius who saved you. ”

"Boss, if you don't take such an irritating person, I've been repaired, you have to find a chance for me to get justice!"

Li Tianhao lightly knocked on his head: "Do you still have to talk about personal enmity when the two armies are fighting?" If you lose due to your own incompetence, you should reflect on it and don't make the same mistake again in the future! ”

After teaching Alam a lesson, Li Tianhao turned his head and saluted Brooks, and said, "Lord Brooks, I have offended a lot before. ”

Brooks returned the salute: "You are serious, your subordinates have not killed me with a single arrow, I remember it, how dare I have resentment." ”

Li Tianhao looked at Brooks's arrogant expression, and clearly wanted to say that he would have the opportunity to get back this arrow in the future, so he smiled faintly and said: "If you want to say that your subordinates are merciful, then it is really not, the next arrow originally saved the meaning of taking your life, but my target was not aimed at the throat, but the center of the eyebrows, and I wanted to gamble, if this arrow killed you, naturally there was nothing to say, but if you let it flash over??????

"What do you say when you flash over?" Brooks unconsciously touched the freshly bandaged wound on his forehead and asked.

"Then please surrender to us." Li Tianhao said the second half of the sentence categorically.

Brooks was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "What kind of crooked reasoning is this?" Almost took someone else's life, and forced others to surrender? ”

Li Tianhao quietly nodded and called Xia Gora in, and said, "Xia Gora, you can tell everyone, what kind of person is Lord Brooks?" ”

Shagora bowed respectfully: "Yes, master." Lord Brooks is a side branch of the Yaki royal family, having inherited the title of Earl since his great-grandfather, and is the only heir to his father. This was his first time on the battlefield. As a general, he has a bad reputation in the palace. His inexperience and idleness kept him out of the factional struggles, and he had won fourth place three times and fifth place four times in the hunting competitions held by kings??????"

Brooks waved his hand to stop Shagora from continuing to speak, he looked at Shagora carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "You, you can't be a member of the Shadow Brotherhood, right?" ”

Shagora said respectfully, "Exactly, the villain had previously followed Prince Aiyuka. ”

Brooks suddenly realized, shook his head, and said, "No wonder you know my details so well, I didn't expect that even you betrayed the Yakee Country." ”

"Your Excellency, you misunderstood, the Shadow Brotherhood obeys one master, but it doesn't have to be the Yaki royal family."

Li Tianhao took a step forward and said: "To sum up, coupled with the observation on the battlefield, I think that Lord Brooks, you are a scheming, calculating, and good at keeping your head and cultivating obscurity, and your reluctance to get involved in the political disputes of the Yaki country is nothing more than to protect your self, or you are not used to the governance of the Yaki king, so you are not willing to contribute your efforts." If the following assumptions are correct, then please serve the Tiersling, we may have the stage you are looking forward to. ”

Brooks turned his head to look at Li Tianhao, and after a long time, a strange smile appeared on his face: "It sounds a little interesting, then I'll be wronged for the time being." ”

In this way, Brooks came under Li Tianhao. At that time, the Dils army was full of talent, and recruiting a Brooks did not attract much attention, and as for Yaqui, he did not take the loss of Brooks seriously, and even Libera only felt a pity. In fact, this was a huge loss that was irreparable for Yaji, which even Li Tianhao himself was not aware of at that time. (To be continued......)
