Chapter 390: Borrowing Troops
Galvin and Anders' legions were also in disarray, and Dane's plan to drive the rout and storm the enemy ranks was obviously a great success with the cooperation of Governor Ozer!
In fact, if either of the two of them could rush to the rout before the army collapsed, there might still be a possibility to save the situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the main generals in the army, the prestige of the two of them is quite sufficient. If they had come forward to reprimand, it would have been possible for the rout to be stopped.
Even if they can't do this, with the mentality of the two of them, if they can give some more decisive orders, such as when the rout army hits their own phalanx formation, decisively order the army that is still under command to directly kill any disobedient rout, and resolutely block the rout out of the formation, although it is not able to turn the tide, but at least it can prevent the army from collapsing so quickly.
But who made the two of them be pestered by Ou Ze at that time, and no one was there?
Now, Army Group North can really be regarded as the general trend. The impact of the rout of Hackett's troops on the entire Northern Army Group was simply devastating. The rear is unstable, and there is Ou Ze's main army in front of the frenzied counterattack, how can the Northern Army Group be able to turn defeat into victory?
This war began in the afternoon, and by the time the overall situation was decided, it was already almost three o'clock in the afternoon. However, the fighting did not stop there. The Northern Army, which was in a total rout, ran across the wasteland, while the main army of Dane and Ozer was chasing behind.
It's good that a battle doesn't break the other side. If they were not able to effectively expand the results of the battle, annihilate as many enemies as possible, and completely defeat the opposing army, it would be impossible to even regroup, and with the quality of Army Group North, they might still be able to regroup later.
This chase lasted a whole day. Even after dark, Dane and Ozer's troops did not stop until noon the next day, when the actual battle report came out, and they gave up.
The results are quite reliable. The main force of Army Group North, almost 40,000 men, has been completely defeated. The troops that were wiped out looked like more than 30,000 people. Among them, the number of casualties in the war was not particularly large, it is estimated that about 10,000 people died, and most of the other 20,000 losses were lost after the collapse of the whole army.
Of the more than 20,000 people captured in the pursuit, there were not many who were killed on the spot, and they were thousands larger, and the remaining soldiers of the Northern Army, which had at least 13,000 or more, handed over their weapons and armor, and became prisoners in the prisoner of war camp.
The other six or seven thousand troops were not killed or captured, but escaped the joint pursuit of Ozer and Dane. But the reason why they were able to escape was mainly because they ran fast, slipping away while the other troops were being cleaned up, and the escape was more scattered, maybe a few people, a dozen people in a small group, it was more difficult to chase, and there was no point in pursuing, and Ou Ze and Dane didn't bother to pay attention to these soldiers.
Of the three high-ranking generals of Army Group North, Hackett was beheaded by Dane. As for the other two, when they realized that the general trend was gone, they were unwilling to continue to fight in the beast, so they gave up their desperate efforts with Ou Ze and chose to run away with their own guards.
In pursuit, Anders was unfortunate enough to be chased up, and his head was strung on the tip of Ozer's sword.
As for Galvin, he managed to escape. However, although he managed to escape, it no longer means anything to the general trend. After more than a day of pursuit, the remnants of Army Group North no longer knew what had become a disarray, and it was difficult for him to put his troops back together. Even if he could, it didn't make much sense, the troops he was able to sort out would only be a few thousand to die, and it would be useless.
On December 25, Ozer and Dane, who had stopped the pursuit and rested for another day, led an army and escorted 13,000 captives into the Ice Cave City.
The prisons and dungeons of Icecave City have been requisitioned and filled with captives.
But how big can a city's dungeons be? Can't fit that many people at all! In the end, they even had to vacate a lot of public buildings and houses for the prisoners.
While his officers and soldiers were busy with these tasks, Dane approached Ozer.
"I'm going to borrow soldiers." Dane got straight to the point.
"Okay." Ou Ze also agreed in one breath. His expression was now very relaxed, and there was some curiosity.
Before, when Dane forced him to start a decisive battle with Army Group North, he was reluctant. He felt it was risky.
But now that we have won the war, of course, there are no worries about this. Moreover, after the annihilation of the Northern Army, for Ou Ze, he solved a major problem in his heart, and his mood would improve, which was natural.
He didn't have the idea of kicking Dane away. After a real observation of seeing is believing, he recognized the combat strength of Dane's army and Dane as an ally.
Ozer didn't have any big ambitions, he didn't have the idea of destroying Dane and dominating Sindelair after destroying Conry. He is already a little old, and he has no children under his knees, let alone a family, what good is it to dominate Sindlaire? The reason why he fought Conry was to avenge Bernier, his best friend. Now, although Army Group North has been wiped out, Kang Li is not dead.
What's more, they had signed an agreement before. After defeating Army Group North, he was to lend a portion of his army to Dane to use against the demon legion that Conry was heading south.
This agreement is not an ordinary black and white letter, but a contract that communicates with the blood of both parties and the power of magic, and if it is violated, something will happen.
In this way, there is no psychological difficulty for Ou Ze to borrow soldiers. Even when Dane later said that not only would he borrow his soldiers, but also he himself, and go to fight Kang Li to the death, he did not refuse. He himself wanted to kill the bastard Conry with his own hands.
He did have some curiosity, though. According to the latest intelligence from the south, Kangri's demonic army has broken through Shawan Harbor.
This was already two days ago, on the 22nd. As soon as the port of Shawan was broken, the entire southern part of Sindlaire was basically declared to have been poisoned by Kangli, and there was no other place except for the lonely White Wolf Castle.
Moreover, it is not possible that after these two days have passed, the current White Wolf Fort has been breached.
But how does Dane's anxious roaring look a bit like he wants to lead his troops back as soon as possible and save his territory from danger? Even before, when Dane was in a hurry to start a decisive battle with Army Group North, the same was true.
From Ice Cave City to the White Wolf Fort in the south, it can be separated by hundreds of kilometers, and it will be at least half a month to run back, at that time, no matter how strong the White Wolf Fort is, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold out for so long under the onslaught of the Demon Legion of the Governor of Kangli.
This is something that Ozer has always been unclear and curious about.
