Chapter 150: Victory
Before the troll Mu arrived, the Medusas began to face Zhoucan
Having lost their commander and being flanked by a tough opponent on both sides, the Medusa who were in turmoil had completely lost their fighting spirit at this moment.
These creatures, which crawl on the ground with snake bodies, are not only fast when they move forward, but they are not slow to escape for their lives.
Of course, Chen Jian would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, but unfortunately due to the long battle, both the female magician and Erwin had already used up their magic power at this time, and there was no way to use magic to stop the enemy from escaping, but even so, the Hammondale soldiers still achieved considerable results, under the command of Chen Jian, the soldiers put down their spears one after another, took out heavy crossbows and shot around killing the fleeing enemies.
With the collapse of the two clusters of Evil Eye and Medusa, which were the main forces at this time, Negan's army was completely defeated in this battle?
The harpy banshees, who were already on the verge of completely destroying the griffins in the sky, saw that their side was gone, and they had no choice but to leave the battle and began to retreat under the command of Zoya.
The most unfortunate of all was the Negan Minotaur army, which failed to show their skills on the battlefield from beginning to end, and Erwin was very clever to take the last of his own. Slow** left these resentful minotaurs, causing them to be unable to escape from the battlefield quickly or fight to the death with their opponents, and in the end, these guys who dared to refuse Chen Jian's surrender were all shot by the Hammondale soldiers with heavy crossbows, and they died extremely aggrieved;
For the fleeing enemy, Chen Jian did not chase after him, anyway, the enemy's commander is dead, even if they can regroup, there is no longer much of a threat, and it is difficult to pursue the enemy in the dark night, so after the enemy has completely escaped, Chen Jian ordered the Thor trolls to be on guard, and the other soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.
As a result, as soon as he counted after the war, Chen Jian crooked his nose angrily.
The Imperial cavalry of nearly 100 men had lost seventy percent of the battle against the Evil Eye and the Minotaur Guard, and the remnants of the Imperial cavalry that had been regrouped after the battle numbered less than thirty.
The griffons suffered even more losses, and at this time there were only a dozen griffons scattered around the daggers in the sky, and only one griffin knight remained.
Although both of these forces inflicted more damage on the enemy than their own losses during the battle, such a huge loss rate still gave Chen Jian a headache, and he really didn't know how to explain to the empress and Mlak when he returned.
The Recruits were protected by the Hammondale soldiers, but there were still more than forty of them, and the magic apprentices were the luckiest, not a single one was missing.
What made Jian Chen's heart ache was that the 300-strong Harmmondale Defense Force also lost more than 60 people in this battle, and he felt extremely sorry for the loss of each of these soldiers he had spent so much effort to train.
The bodies of the fallen soldiers were carefully collected after cremation. They will be brought back to their hometown by their surviving companions for proper burial.
Polly ran back after the battle, using his skills and the cover of the night to evade the enemy's pursuit, but a feathered arrow stuck in his right shoulder illustrated how thrilling his escape was.
In addition to the loss of personnel, the loss of materials also made Chen Jian very entangled.
Under enemy fire, almost a quarter of the wagons and goods were wiped out, leaving only one place in disarray.
Fortunately, the carriage loaded with jewels and gold coins was safe and sound, which made Chen Jian's psychology a little more balanced.
The loss of horses also made Jian Chen grit his teeth at the Negans, and among the horses collected from all over the battlefield after the war, there were only more than 30 war horses left, and more than half of the ordinary horses were also lost.
As a result, the cavalry force that the lord had planned to assemble immediately after returning to Hammondale had shrunk from more than a hundred to more than thirty.
However, although the losses were large, the results achieved were also amazing.
The griffins were almost crippled by the desperate battle of the griffins, and only a few dozen Negan flying troops were able to evacuate from the battlefield after two battles, and Zoya herself was not lightly injured.
Under the continuous charge of the Imperial cavalry and the Thor, the loss of the evil eye of 400 people was also quite heavy, and the battle loss rate reached more than eighty percent, and their mutilated corpses were all over the battlefield.
The Minotaur and cavalry units of Shakt were completely ineffective in the battle, and they were held back by the use of magic to the death, and were eventually wiped out?
The Negan human soldiers who fought against the Hammondale soldiers with Medusa were also all killed, and they were vulnerable to the attack of the spear phalanx in the front line, and Medusa herself suffered heavy losses. The onslaught of the Imperial cavalry had already killed and wounded dozens of them, and they were even more casualties under the double blow of the Hammondale soldiers and the sorceress. In the end, less than 200 people were able to escape from the battlefield.
The deplorable condition of the Negans shocked the alien POWs who helped clean up the battlefield.
Two battles, two to. The world is obviously an absolute disadvantage, but this Shenshou's leader Xin used a way to find a way to defeat the enemy.
Although there was an element of luck in the previous battle with the bandits, this battle with the Negans was not real at all.
Whether it's pre-arranging for the Trolls of Thor, pre-arranging Polly's pre-slashing operations, or making improvised fortresses out of wagons and captured weapons, and using his large number of horses to charge the enemy, it shows how whimsical and eclectic the Lord's tactical style is.
The robber magician and the Thor troll who had just surrendered were also impressed by the lord's five-body casting, and the former bandit leader Philip was even more sycophantic to the lord, and Bruce was also pleasantly surprised that he could find such a powerful lord to take refuge in.
Seeing that the lord did not have any accidents as he imagined, the half-elf Pete finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after understanding what happened, he once again strengthened his idea to continue to learn the art of war from the lord.
After everyone had cleaned up the battlefield and rested for a while, the sky was already slightly bright, and the last group of old and young Thor trolls also arrived at this time, and the lord, who had already returned to his heart, immediately ordered to leave for Hammondal, he really couldn't stay in the ghost place of Bairders.
Half a day later, the team finally entered the territory of Hammondal, although it was still a few days away from the town of Harmondale, but the long-lost green mountains and green waters made the soldiers cheer.
"We're finally back!" Jian Chen was very emotional, although he had not been away for a long time, but after so many things had happened, he felt that he had been outside for too long.
The sorceress, half-elf, and Polly all felt the same for the lord's feelings, and Polly, who was more homely, murmured: "It's almost home!" ”
"Want to go home and hug your wife?" Chen Jian laughed, and regardless of his own words, Polly made a big red face, and everyone on the side also laughed secretly
Polly was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Jian Chen suddenly said again: "Don't say that I won't give you a chance!" Why don't you ride Pete's Pegasus back first, and bring one for me by the way. How about a message to Robert? ”
Hearing this, Chan was surprised and delighted: "Lord Lord, you can't be lying to me, are you?" ”
The half-elf and the female magician also looked at Jian Chen suspiciously, and Jian Chen smiled slightly: "What are you lying to, but how are your injuries?" ”
"Hurt? It's okay, it's okay! "Polly saw that the lord's appearance did not seem to be a hypocrisy. couldn't help but be overjoyed, "That Philip has already taken the initiative to help me do treatment after recovering his magic just now, and that guy's body magic is not bad!" Do you think I'm a little hurt right now? ”
Chen Jian said: "This guy is slapping you on the back, if that's the case, then you can go back first, but be careful on the road!" ”
Then Jian Chen called Polly to his side and whispered softly: "How is it, do you remember?" This is very important, let Robert do it as soon as you get back! ”
Polly, who was a little stunned by the lord's arrangement, patted his chest and swore an oath: "My lord, I'll do something." You can rest assured! You can't go wrong! ”
Chen Jian thought about it again, and was still a little worried about the unsafe road, so he simply sent the griffin knight and the remaining dozen griffins to Polly together, so that there would be a response on the road, anyway, he had a female magician on his side, a humanoid radar that could use the magic vision, and he didn't have to worry about any accidents without the griffins as scouts.
After sending off Polly and his party, the team continued to move forward for a while, because it was the return trip, so the morale of the soldiers was quite high, although after a battle, they did not have much rest, but everyone's speed was quite fast.
However, the physical fatigue could not be offset by high morale, and after finding that the soldiers' advance was starting to slow down a little, Chen Jian simply ordered to camp on the spot, bury the pot and cook, and prepare for the soldiers to rest for a night before continuing to advance.
Jian Chen himself was already tired enough at this time, but as the lord of everyone, he certainly had certain privileges, so after he was busy with some issues that should be his personal concern, he sat on a big stone and looked at a few leisurely. The soldiers helped themselves set up their tents.
The half-elf went to inspect the soldiers' camping work as the captain of the guard, the female magician did not know where to go, and Bruce was settling his own people, so there was no one to accompany Jian Chen now.
When he was bored, Jian Chen suddenly saw a beautiful female magician who was wearing royal leather armor and showing off her figure was walking towards him with a clay pot in her hand.
"My lord, this is the stew I just made, can you try it?" The female magician looked at Jian Chen with anticipation?
The gentleness of her eyes made Jian Chen think that she had seen the wrong person.
