With the main force of the Priest Army withdrawing from the western part of Epsommiton, the fighting on the Eastern Front came to an end.

Unlike the Western Front, the main force of the Priestly Army on the Eastern Front was defeated rather than retreated. As the army led by Mueller and others gradually achieved success, the troops mixed with the priest army and the Yaki army began to gradually lose their entrenchment in the eastern region, and withdrew to the border line one after another.

However, just as Mill was about to succeed in expelling the priestly army, a purely accidental misfortune occurred: the death of Lorencis.

Since Müller's forces were not particularly abundant, he decided to use the two fortresses still under the control of the Dilcs army to contain part of the priestly army, and he himself used the partial advantage of the troops to break the priest army in the territory one by one. This strategy was originally correct, but it became an objective cause of Rolandis's death. That is, Muller ignored the question of the morale of the besieged troops.

Under the onslaught of the priestly army, the casualties and fatigue of the soldiers had reached their limits. There were not many garrisons in these two fortresses, with an average of only more than 1,000 people in each fortress, and most of the casualties after the fierce battle, the mental state of the soldiers became very unstable. Moreover, a considerable part of these soldiers were recruited from the First World War last year, and these soldiers were not as determined as the troops brought out of the Dils Mountains, so some soldiers had the idea of defecting.

That night, a handful of soldiers secretly decided to flee the city, of course only to find a way to survive, but if they were discovered by the priest army, they would be happy to accept the surrender of the enemy. Unfortunately, the soldiers' movements were discovered by Rolance, who was on patrol. At that time, Lorencis did not realize that it was an act of defection, but only felt that the group was acting differently. He stepped forward to ask, but in the eyes of these soldiers, Lorencis's questioning became a sign that the matter was exposed. At that moment, they all drew out their weapons and surrounded them, ready to fight to the death. Aware of the danger, Lorencis had only two guards by his side, so Lorencis had no intention of suppressing them. Instead, he chose to run away.

Despite the swiftness of Lorencis's handling of the defections, one of the defecting soldiers was a famous man with a bow and arrow, who shot Rowlansis in the right leg, and he and his two guards were all killed by the blades of the rebel soldiers. The sound of the battle attracted the other soldiers, and the rebellion was quickly put down, but Lorencis became the only casualty of the accident.

Just one day later, Müller's rescuers dispersed the besieging priestly army of the fortress, and Müller had to swallow the bitter fruit.

Although Lorencis was gloomy, he was good at calculation. Although he was not hated in the Tyrs, there were few who liked him. However, he was undoubtedly a capable and responsible commander, whose tactical ability and intelligence-gathering ability were valuable resources of the Dils army, and it is really sad that he died in this war without knowing it.

When the bad news reached Li Tianhao's ears, Muller's joy of victory could not erase his sadness at the loss of an important comrade-in-arms. In the end, Li Tianhao decided to rebuild the fortress group in the eastern area of Epsommiton, and named this line of defense the Roland Cess Line in honor of this unfortunate comrade-in-arms.

According to post-war statistics, more than 8,000 were killed or wounded among the 20,000 defenders of the Dyrs Army on the Eastern Front. Müller's army also had more than 700 dead in battle, 4,000 in the Priestly Army, and more than 10,000 in the Yaggee Army. Adding up the results of the battle on the eastern and western fronts, the casualties on both sides were very close. It can be said that it is a lose-lose situation.

The Battle of Epsommiton, which took place in 804 Gregorian Calendar, was small in scale, but it had a huge impact on the battle between Yaqui and Palci.

First of all, Li Tianhao realized the threat of Vultures for the first time, and learned from the pain after the war. The generals were convened for a deep reflection on the battle.

All the generals who participated in the war agreed that the Priest Army was no better than the regular army of Yaki in terms of actual combat effectiveness. They are even a little worse in terms of equipment, but their morale is high. The fanatical fighting spirit and excellent organization and discipline gave this unit the ability to execute beyond the ordinary people, so that it was able to complete tactical maneuvers beyond common sense, so that the Dils army made successive errors in judgment.

Wei Song, after carefully analyzing this battle and the previous command and combat cases of Vultures, deduced that Vulture was a very careful person and acted very cautiously, but he had a tendency to win by surprise, which can be seen in his battle with Arubania and in this battle. According to common sense, it was impossible to launch a large-scale campaign based on the logistical situation of his troops, but he did the opposite, and as a result, he unexpectedly dealt a heavy blow to the Dils army. If this kind of battle was not a great success, it would have been a dead end, but fortunately, in the final stage of this battle, with his careful thinking and cautious attitude, he managed to escape the fate of destruction.

Wei Song believes that an enemy like Vulture, as fearful as his actions are often unreasonable and unpredictable, is not worth fearing. Because as long as they can correctly use the orthodox military skills to fight against them, Vulture's surprise soldiers will not be able to achieve great results, and a small loss will not cause fatal damage, and Vultures only need to make a mistake to lead to a situation from which they will never recover. That is, make yourself invulnerable first, and then seek an opportunity to destroy Vultures.

Of course, this is not an easy step to achieve, and the combined forces of the Dils Army and Palci do not currently have an absolute advantage over the Yakee nations, so it is quite difficult to maintain this invulnerability.

For this reason, Li Tianhao had to drastically change his strategic deployment: first of all, he canceled the plan to invade Yaji that year and set about doing a good job in internal affairs. During the war, the Epsommilton region revealed many problems with people's livelihoods, and religious problems led to a considerable number of residents being willingly led across the border by priestly forces, and although the loss of population was only tens of thousands, it exposed the instability of the people in the new territory. Therefore, it has become an urgent matter to improve people's livelihood facilities as soon as possible so that residents can obtain practical benefits.

The second is the reorganization of the existing army. After a series of changes, both the Palci army and the incorporated Yaki army have exposed many problems, and in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of Lolance, it is urgent to reorganize the army.

Finally, there is the issue of missions. Due to the many dissatisfaction caused by the previous actions of the missionary group, Li Tianhao wrote to King Airul, and while pleading guilty for the loss of nearly 6,000 cathars in this battle, he also clearly pointed out that the behavior of the cathars exceeded their authority, and if they continued, it would definitely disturb the hearts of the people in the new territory, so it was suggested that in addition to the missionary group continuing to spread the teachings of the god Amun, the cathars should be reorganized, and a small part of them should be retained as the security guards of the mission, and the rest should be put into the work of building the temple of Amun. Otherwise, the cathars will be disbanded on the spot and placed in their place to avoid calamity. (To be continued......)
