Chapter 106 - A Tie
The rout of the Arubanian Center Army soon spread like a plague to the entire army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, the left and right flanks were originally just quite indistinguishable, but the retreat in the middle would inevitably cause the flanks of the left and right flanks to be exposed to the attack of the Palchi army, so the commanders of the left and right flanks had to give the order to retreat. It's just that due to the speed of retreat in the middle lane, the left and right wings could not achieve an orderly retreat even if they wanted to, and finally evolved into a full-scale retreat.
It stands to reason that the battle of the fortress of Mayolan should end here, because it is impossible to chase the cavalry with infantry, but it may give the cavalry a chance to fight back because of the confusion of their formation. However, Gurnas gave the order for a full-scale pursuit, because he understood that today's victory was almost completely accidental, and that the defeat of the Arubanian army was not completely out of order, and if they did not pursue, then they were likely to restore order again and turn back to launch a counterattack, and at this time their army had broken away from the support of the Mayolan fortress and was likely to be outflanked by the other side.
Compared to many of Gurnas's ideas, Senas's approach was much simpler and more straightforward. In order to recover the red-eyed baby apprentice Eglius, he urged the horse to follow closely behind Eglius and kill him. Looking at Eglius, he chased Shurya all the way to escape. In some ways, the defeat of Arubania was related to the defeat of the main commander Shurya, and the reason why Shurya was unable to regain command of the army was more related to the fact that Aeglius chased after his ass like a plague god, so although many people were reluctant to admit this fact afterwards, it was impossible to deny Eglius's contribution to the battle.
Shurya was full of resentment at this time, he lost this head-to-head defeat in vain, and suffered a big loss without exerting his strength at all, and he didn't expect it to evolve into the current situation in the end. But now he couldn't get rid of Eglius's entanglement at all, and he originally intended to seize a weapon and turn back to fight Eglius again, but unfortunately he turned around and saw that Eglius was followed by a Senas, and immediately gave up this unrealistic idea. At this moment, the fifty-five-year-old veteran general experienced unspeakable humiliation for the first time in his long military career, and he kept praying in his heart for the gods not to give up on him.
As if the gods had heard his plea, a force appeared in front of him, and the fleeing Arubanian cavalry was stopped by this army and had to make a detour. Shurya fixed his eyes, and it turned out that the infantry led by Arufa had arrived.
If the speed of the infantry was to follow, Arufa would not have been able to reach the Meoran fortress at least the next night, which was one of the reasons why Abrach was unwilling to wait for a direct attack, but Arufa was afraid that things would change, so he rushed with five thousand elite soldiers in the starry night, only half a day slower than the cavalry. But in this half a day, the battle situation still became out of control. As soon as Arufa saw that the situation ahead had changed, he immediately formed a formation based on the nearby terrain to provide cover for the retreating friendly forces.
"Lord Shurya! Hurry up, the end will resist you for a while! Seeing Shurya, ArufarΓ£o said.
"Shame!" Shurya rode over with her head down.
"Stabilize the formation, don't play easily!" After Arufa finished instructing his subordinates, he immediately raised his spear and met Eglius.
Eglius didn't answer, and directly fought with Arufa with both guns. Eglius had already killed the red eyes, and as soon as he made a move, he did his best, and Arufa saw that he was fierce, and he didn't dare to slack off, and the two fought more than a dozen moves in an instant, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
"Thief, good skills!" Seeing the subtlety of the other party's tricks, Arufa couldn't help but admire. Unfortunately, at this time, Eglius had lost his normality and ignored him completely.
"You're pretty good, young man, let me meet you!" At this time, Senas in the back had already caught up: "Get out of the way, the teacher is here." β
Arufa's heart tightened when he heard this, he had heard of this name from his father, this person was the brave man who killed Libera, the first warrior of Yaki, and he and Eglius were only tied, if there was another Senas, it would be impossible to deal with it.
Who knew that at this time, Eglius couldn't listen to Senas's words at all, and he didn't mean to get out of the way at all, and he kept fighting with Arufa. Seeing this, Senas stepped forward and violently fired Eglius's twin spears with his giant sword, and shouted, "Eglius! Calm me down! β
This loud roar startled the other two people present. Eglius was woken up by such a roar, and Arufa was taken aback by the fact that this sword of Senas was not coming towards him, but at his own people, and he almost couldn't hold back his trick because of it.
"You're dazed! Stand down! Senas retorted.
Only then did Eglius realize that he had suffered more than two dozen wounds in the process of fighting alone, and the armor on his body was torn.
Before Senas and Arufa could fight, Alam's troops had already caught up behind.
"Yo, you two are still alive, I thought I would have hung up a long time ago after such a mess like you." Alam didn't have any good words as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was completely out of place on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and the whole atmosphere of the battle was ruined by his words.
"If you die, Lao Tzu will not die. Take Eglius down, he's hurt a lot. Senas replied angrily.
Aram ignored Senas's complaints, and instead greeted Arufa: "Lord Arufa, I haven't seen you for a while." β
"Lord Alam, it's a shame to have met you on the battlefield." Arufa's tone was much more subdued than Aram's, but there was no hint of kindness.
"Lord Arufa, it's not that I'm talkative, you and I understand the situation today, if I go with this Senas, then you probably have to sacrifice your life for the country. But first, you and I have known each other, and secondly, even if I kill you, it will not be easy for me to break through your defense, and it will not be good for you and me to go on like this, so why don't we two just stop our troops? β
When Alam said this, Arufa couldn't help but laugh. Although this is a fact, it is a strange thing on the battlefield that Alam said it so clearly and fairly. At that moment, Arufa said: "The purpose of lining up here is to prevent your army from continuing to pursue our army, and if your army is willing to stop there, then there is no intention of expanding the war below." Our wins and losses can be left for later. β
"Good! That's it. Alam readily agreed, and then said to his subordinates: "The whole army retreats!" β
To Arufa's surprise, Senas, who was still murderous just now, did not question Alam's behavior, and silently turned his horse around and left.
In fact, Arufa did not look behind him at this time, at this time Shurya had begun to regroup his troops, although Senas was a brave man, but he was by no means a brave man, he understood that if he did not retreat at this time, when Shurya regrouped his forces, it would be difficult to leave again.
The battle of the fortress of Mayolan was finally over, and the Palcian army of Gurnas also noticed the change in the situation, and immediately ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, reorganize the formation, and retreat quickly and orderly. Shurya did not pursue again, after all, this time he appreciated the fierceness of the Palchi army, and with his own troops scattered and fleeing, it would take time to regroup all of them, and both sides had not done their best to give up.
The final result of the battle of the fortress of Mayolan was a draw, with more than 17,000 casualties of the Arubanian army and nearly 30,000 casualties in Parci. For Parci, this was the first time that the number of casualties was greater than that of the enemy, and for the Arubanian army, the losses were the most elite cavalry of the Empire. More importantly, after this battle, Shurya and Abrach had a first-hand feel for the strength of the Palchi army, and from then on they fully agreed with Adlem's statement. (To be continued.) )
