Ma Porte's fears were fully fulfilled, and of the 30,000 cavalry and paladins, less than 10,000 remnants remained, and the defeated generals returned to the northeastern camp of the fourth war zone in despair, and the paladins only survived more than 20 people due to the focus of the Fifth Legion.

Mapote and Nyala, who were gloomy, listened to the statements of several leading generals kneeling under the tent, in addition to anger and shock, they were completely confused, and the whole battle process was full of doubts, especially in the end, there was no hope of breaking through, it was a dead end, and even those who surrendered had to be shot, how could they be let back?

Several generals had just been rewarded by the Arad Holy Decree and won the Guanzhong Warrior Medal, and now, they were completely devoid of their previous arrogance, more like a defeated rooster, and no one dared to raise their heads.

"Let's all go down!" Marbot finally sighed and highlighted only these few words to them.

Several generals looked at each other, thinking that what was waiting for them was the most severe military punishment, but their marshal seemed to say only a few words lightly, so that they were amnesty, although everyone was ashamed, but they had to take the order and withdraw from the tent.

"Marshal Marbot, just let these people go?" Nyala asked, looking at Mapote in surprise.

"What does Lord Qincha think should be done with this commander?" Marpot asked rhetorically.

Nyala said angrily: "The elite cavalry of the Fourth War Zone has been destroyed, and someone has to be responsible for the incident, otherwise, how can I explain to Your Majesty, to the imperial court, and to the whole army?" Is this how the marshal governs the army? ”

"Who instigated my subordinates to be greedy for merit, and who asked for merit from the court and His Majesty for them?" Ma Potter also countered with a cold smile, "Lord Qincha probably forgot, a few days ago, the Lord personally awarded His Majesty's Commendation Order and the Guanzhong Warrior Medal of the Imperial Court to these people, and now the Lord wants me to kill them?" The culprits of this defeat are not them, but Ben Shuai, and you, Lord Qincha! The commander was not able to restrain them, but Lord Qincha personally sent them into the enemy's trap! If you want to kill, you and I will be killed first, and then it will be their turn! ”

"Hmph, you say that, that means that Your Majesty is also responsible, and all the monarchs sitting in the court are also responsible?" Nyala snorted coldly, "Your Majesty and the imperial court are not rewarding them to death, but to set an example and example for the whole army and the whole country to boost morale, in the eyes of the marshal, how did it become an instigation?" This is the need of politics and the necessity of the current situation! ”

"Don't talk to Ben Shuai about your political ideals!" Ma Potter said, "If Lord Qincha has any objections to the disposition of the commander, he can report it to the court or even His Majesty, and if the court is dissatisfied with the commander leading the troops, you can also invite someone else!" ”

"Nonsense, dissatisfied with the court at every turn, and say that you want to change the commander at every turn! What are you as a marshal of an army? "I ask you, the thieves could have wiped out this cavalry, why did they let it go?" ”

"Hehe, Lord Qincha finally got the point!" Ma Potter sneered, "At this point, you shouldn't ask the commander, you should ask the Fifth Legion!" Can't Lord Chincha see that this is the enemy deliberately dividing our army, deliberately letting them back to disgust us, and damaging the morale of the whole army? Hehe, this hand is indeed clever, first it divided the relationship between Ben Shuai and the court and His Majesty, and now I have to doubt my subordinates, Ben Shuai really admires it! ”

Nyala laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's that simple? In order to separate your subordinates, you don't hesitate to use 10,000 cavalry as a price, and the thieves are too generous! ”

"Or else? How can Lord Chincha believe that there is no collusion between the commander and the Fifth Legion? Ma Potter also smiled, "Or, in order to show his loyalty, Ben Shuai personally ordered the killing of these 10,000 people, how about it?" Or, Ben Shuai personally led the men and horses in the camp and immediately went to the enemy camp to take revenge? ”

Nyala said: "What is your Excellency Marshal, I have no right to interfere!" I just remind the Marshal once again that people are doing it, the sky is watching, Your Majesty and the people of the imperial court have eyes! Hello do it yourself! Nyala finished and walked away.

The knight of Ma Potter was even more angry, and he had no shame in his heart, but because he was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he was constrained, although he was the marshal of the Fourth War Zone, but the imperial court and Qin repeatedly pointed fingers at his army, resulting in many orders, completely disrupting his strategic deployment, he really didn't know how long his Fourth War Zone could hold out if it continued like this.

A few days later, the main force of Mevo's Chinese army began to press north against the northeastern battalion of Mapote! Without the main force of cavalry, Ma Potter had to order to retreat to his northern camp. But worse news also came, which was also expected, the main cavalry of the Fifth Army was moving south from Yuping Pass, all the way through thorns and thorns, and the entire area from Yuping Pass to Crodina City was included in the Fifth Army, and almost all the cities and cities along the way almost changed their flags.

Ten days later, in the north of the city of Clodinah, the camp of Marpote, to the south is the city of Clodinah, not far from the east and west, where Mevo's Chinese army is stationed, and to the north, is the garrison of Thomas's 30,000 cavalry who have just arrived, and the camp of Marpote has actually been surrounded by the army of the Fifth Army on three sides, leaving only the north gate of Clodina City in the south to rely on, and the situation is precarious.

The defenders of Crodina knew very well that if Marpote outside the city was wiped out, they would have no army outside the city, and the outside of Crodina would completely become the territory of the Fifth Legion, and it would be too difficult for the Fifth Legion to gain a firm foothold and recapture it. Therefore, they could not sit idly by and watch the fall of Marpote, and they could not stand idly by while Mapote needed help!

As a result, the city sent 30,000 troops to reinforce Mapot, which were scattered from all over the country, not the entire army. However, after this army was stationed in the northern camp, it was not under the unified command of Ma Pot, but was appointed by the imperial court to serve as the general of the army, and it was stationed at the junction of the northern camp and the north gate of the city of Crodinah.

In addition, 100,000 men were requisitioned from the city of Croatia to help Maport's army build fortifications in the barracks, and a large amount of supplies were transported from the north gate of the city to the northern camp.

Mevo was not in a hurry to launch a full-scale attack on Mapote, but advanced forward for the camp step by step, and finally on the east and west sides of the northern camp, his own camp was almost connected with Mapote's camp, and the soldiers on both sides could almost see what the people in the other camp's were doing, but they did not communicate with each other.

The imminent outbreak of war made the nerves of both sides tense, and Marpot knew that he was now nothing more than a pawn in the eyes of the Fifth Legion and the Praetorian Guard of Crodina City. The Fifth Legion needed to lure the defenders out of the city with itself to rescue; And the Praetorian Guards in the city of Croatia also wanted to reap the benefits when both sides were defeated. This upcoming battle seems to be a decisive battle between the elite of his fourth war zone and the middle army of the fifth army of Mevo, but in fact, it is the fifth army and the Praetorian Guard in the city two super elite armies competing with each other in secret, and his fourth war zone is just a decoy, a deer. The two sides launched a deer chase in the Guanzhong Plain, and it is difficult to say who will kill the deer, but no matter what the outcome is, his own deer will definitely die! Now fate is not in your own hands, all you can do is to die with dignity and dignity.

Mevo's Chinese army still attacked, and did not use Thomas's cavalry as the vanguard to rush to the enemy's camp, but used powerful crossbow chariots and catapult phalanxes to launch non-contact attacks and advances against the enemy's camp.

The greatest advantage of the Fifth Army is that its crossbow chariot army is much more sophisticated, much more numerous, and much more experienced in actual combat than other armies. Mavo saw Maport's camp as a city to strike, and although these "cities" had no walls but were heavily fortified, they slowly advanced with crossbow chariots and catapults, squeezing Mapote's space, further pressuring Mapote to make his own choice.

At first, the Fourth Theater still used repeater chariots and catapults to fight back, but the Fifth Army Corps was the originator of the repeater chariot formation, completely overwhelmingly beating the enemy's repeater chariot formation to the point that it did not dare to take the lead, and then slowly advanced forward.

No matter how strong the fortifications of the camp were, after all, it was not a fortified city, and the double blow of the crossbow chariots and catapults of the Fifth Army completely destroyed the fortifications that the enemy camp had worked so hard to build, and then the infantry moved forward to clear and fill the trenches, and destroy all kinds of arrow towers and turrets......

After several days of blows, the periphery of Ma Porte's northern camp was completely occupied by the Fifth Army Corps, his own 80,000 people, and the 30,000 people reinforced in the city of Crodina, were compressed in the area of the north gate of the city of Crodina, only about 5,000 meters in size, Ma Potter had already formed a death squad, if the Fifth Army advanced again, he would immediately organize the army to counterattack, focusing on attacking one or two points of the enemy.

Mevo apparently knew that the was enough, and immediately stopped advancing after taking up the outlying camps, and then built the fortifications in reverse, as if to trap Mapote permanently in this small area. His purpose was originally to advance strategically, to make the enemy want to die or not, to make them feel that death is inevitable, and life is just accidental, not only under the shroud of death, but also to see the hope of survival, people will be lucky, and will not immediately make a battle of trapped beasts, because they have other choices.

The imperial court and Nyala were very dissatisfied with Mapote's strategy of strict defense and non-counterattack, and constantly ordered Mapote to launch a counter-charge against the Fifth Legion, but Mapote knew very well in his heart that the counter-charge was only a dead end, and he asked Nyala many times to let the Praetorian Guards in the city of Crodina carry out a counter-encirclement of the Fifth Legion, with himself as the center, surrounded by all sides, and the center bloomed, and attacked the Fifth Legion inside and outside, so that the Fifth Legion could be closed and difficult to care, and it would inevitably inflict heavy damage on the Fifth Legion.

But the Admiral of the Nine Gates did not think so, they thought that the Fifth Army knew that there were more than 100,000 people in the city and dared to empty other city gates, it must be to lure them out of the city, so they resolutely did not agree to the Praetorian Guard to go out of the city to fight!

Time slowly wears up in this hesitation, watching each other, and complaining to each other......
