Hearing Leyard's reminder, Wren also considered that although the enemy was now timid and did not dare to fight, this did not mean that the enemy had completely surrendered.
If the other side suddenly launches a surprise attack on the way back to the army, I am afraid that the situation will become very dangerous.
After all, now that the main force has all been withdrawn to the country, those responsible for breaking off the rear and escorting prisoners are all officers and men of some third-line units and reserve forces, and their combat experience is very limited, and some of them are even on the battlefield for the first time.
If the soldiers of Banggul Country share the same hatred for the enemy, plus they are fighting at home and have a strong popular base, once a surprise attack is launched, the situation will become unpredictable.
Wren frowned, now that he has transferred back to the main force, it seems that it is too late, so how to prevent the other party's surprise attack?
"My lord, the reason why Banggul Kingdom dares to argue with us in Lakasia is nothing more than those main battle factions, as long as King Banggul kills the officials of those main battle factions, no one will continue to instigate the war, and we will have no worries." Leyard and Wren came up with ideas.
Wren heard Leyard's suggestion and felt that it was very good, now that King Banggul has thoroughly comprehended the strength of the Lakasia army, the current King Banggul is like a bird with a frightened bow, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.
It can be said that it is like a mouse that has broken its guts, only knowing that it is hiding on Qionghua Island and does not dare to come out.
Now as long as you scare him, maybe it won't be difficult to kill those main battle factions of Banggul Kingdom.
So, Wren wrote a letter and sent someone to Qionghua Island.
When King Murojong read Wren's letter, his heart was very heavy, although the crisis encountered by the country this time was indeed caused by the main battle faction, but he also knew that those main battle factions were also to maintain their dignity, and many of them were also iron-clad and hot-blooded men.
Wouldn't it be a shame to kill them like this?
However, if they are not killed, the enemy will not give up.
If the war continues, the first person to collapse is probably Banggul Country itself.
In the war between two countries, in addition to the frontal confrontation of military strength, the most important thing is to look at the fighting will and comprehensive national strength of the two countries.
Judging from Lacazia's national strength, it is easy to destroy Banggul Kingdom, and Banggul Kingdom cannot afford to spend it at all.
The country of projectiles has not been in, no matter how developed the economy is, once a war breaks out, it will be in danger.
The king of Muromune himself couldn't make up his mind, so he showed the letter to his ministers.
After the ministers saw it, they also felt humiliated, as courtiers, the most humiliating way to die was not to die under the enemy's sword, but to die in the hands of their own king.
But what can be done about this?
If we can kill a few ministers and avoid this disaster, there may be a chance to save the country.
Under the repeated insistence of the Lord and the faction and some ministers of the wall, the king of Murozong had no choice but to agree to Wren's conditions, but he could not bear to kill the three main ministers of the main war faction, spread them out of the shop, put on shabby civilian clothes, dressed up as sinners, left Qionghua Island barefoot, and sent them to Wren's camp.
Wren saw the three officials of the main battle faction, all of them had dark faces and depressed expressions, and their previous determination to fight with Lacacia sooner or later was also lost.
Sometimes, patriotism is not as simple as shouting slogans, but also taking into account one's own actual situation.
If the other party is strong enough to pinch you to death in minutes, you have to know how to forbear, otherwise, you will be like Bang Guliguo, who will be pressed and rubbed on the ground by Lacazia every minute.
"How? Are you still going to be an enemy of us Lacasia? Wren asked, looking at the three of them.
The three of them did not speak, their faces were stiff and gloomy, they had been completely defeated, where would they have the courage to talk about war again?
"Surrender? If you surrender, I'll give you another chance. Wren asked, looking at the three of them.
The three of them were still indifferent, although they were not strong men, but at least they still had a patriotic heart, and if they betrayed the king so quickly, wouldn't they be laughed at by the world?
Now their best choice is to die quickly, only in this way can they wash away their sins.
Wren also saw the thoughts of the three people, and he had some admiration for the three of them.
In fact, Wren didn't intend to humiliate them in the first place, what he needed was to ensure that his legion withdrew from Banggul Kingdom safely and smoothly, rather than causing trouble for no reason.
Seeing that the three ministers of the main battle faction of the Banggul Kingdom were so iron-clad, Wren had no choice but to fulfill them.
gave them a good meal of wine and food, let them kneel in the direction of Qionghua Island again, and then sent them on their way.
In order to deter the other Banggul people, Wren had the heads of the three Banggul main war faction ministers cut off and hang them in the most conspicuous position at the intersection so that those Banggul people with bad intentions could see them.
If you go against us Lakasia, that's the end, and if you dare to pursue it, think about your consequences.
Sure enough, Wren's approach had a miraculous effect, and after the three ministers of the main battle faction of Banggul Country were executed, no one dared to speak out in the entire Banggul Country anymore.
What else is there to fight?
was beaten to his hometown at once, even the king was lost, and the king was driven to the island by others, what else is there to say?
Wren led the army to withdraw safely from the Banguli region, leaving only a small number of troops stationed in important passes, which were very important and important passages to the Banguli country, and if they were lost, they would be a bitter battle again in the coming year.
Wren withdrew to the territory of Lacazia, and most of the troops were repairing, although in the course of the battle, the battle losses of the Lacazia army were not serious, but the frost and frost attrition caused by the severe cold was amazing.
In the space of two months alone, thousands of people suffered from frostbite, and dozens even froze to death.
This kind of battle situation was somewhat unexpected by Rennes, because they had fought in the plains before, and they had never encountered such a situation.
In addition, what makes Wren even more heartbroken is that in this war, several war horses froze to death, which is the most heart-wrenching thing for Wren, these war horses are carefully selected good horses, hundreds of horses, only one can be selected, it can be said that each horse is extremely precious.
Because ordinary horses do not have enough carrying capacity to bear heavy loads of heavy cavalry, only this kind of high-quality war horse can afford to carry and charge heavy cavalry, and each horse is very precious.
Seven war horses, almost a cavalry squad, is really heart-wrenching.
