Chapter 413: Rush After Victory
"What! The noble army was defeated in the swamp by the sunset ambush? That's impossible! There are more than 200,000 of them! When the herald informed Heidi Bart of the results of the battle in the swamp area a hundred miles away from Atlantis, the young king's face instantly turned extremely pale, and his own body stood in the tent for a few seconds, strode forward and grabbed the herald by the collar and lifted it directly, shaking his body very out of shape and roaring loudly.
When Hydibart finally put it down, the Atlantan herald, who was still a little dizzy, after glancing at Haydybart's face, continued: "Yes, Your Majesty, all this is true, because our 7th Militia Swordsman Regiment has already collected all these defeated soldiers and nobles into the camp it has planned, waiting for your Majesty. And according to the statistics of our officers, as well as the oral accounts of the nobles, we conclude that after the defeat of the noble army, except for one-fifth of the nobles and more than 20,000 remnants of the Atlantic army, that is, these people we accepted, the rest were either killed in ambushes, or captured by soldiers on the side of the sun, or died at the slaughter of the auxiliary cavalry of the sunset at the most stage of the rout, and .........."
Looking at the herald in front of him with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Heidi Bat suddenly felt extremely uneasy: "And what? Say it quickly! ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, those routs said that the conqueror of the Great Empire on which the sun never set was not seriously injured, and that this ambush was actually planned by the tyrant, and they even said that the reason why the entire noble army fled was not because the soldiers who did not set the sun surrounded and suppressed themselves, but because they not only saw the banner of the tyrant after being surrounded, but also saw himself under the banner." After speaking, the herald sat down directly on the ground with a weak body, obviously from the performance of the herald, it can be seen that Sun Lin's previous so-called "momentum action" has gone a little too far.
When the herald told all the news about Sun Lin to Heidi Bart, Heidi Bart's face turned from white to even pale, and his nails gradually left five small wounds with blood on the hearts of his left and right hands. But when Heidi Bart took in everything the herald had to say, he didn't react as aggressively as he had before, but fell into deep thought.
Just as the herald recovered and bent over to stand in front of Heidi Bart, waiting to go crazy, the king of the New Atlantan Kingdom finally reacted: Hedibat put his hands on the herald's body, looked at the herald with a look of madness and asked softly, "Tell me, has the news that the conqueror not been seriously injured have all spread to my army of 100,000?" ”
"No, no, Your Majesty! The leader of the 7th Militia Swordsman Tu, Ozwoods, was not sure whether the disappearance of the tyrant was true, or the rumors of the frightened noble soldiers, or the ghosts of those who never set the sun, so after the nobles told the news of the tyrant, Ozwoods commanded all the members of the 7th Militia Swordsman Regiment to take all the nobles into custody, and sent a heavy cavalry brigade composed of his cronies to capture the soldiers and nobles of the noble army who were still outside the camp. Now, apart from the soldiers of the 7th Militia Swordsman Regiment and the Heavy Cavalry Brigade in the hands of Ozwoods, the other nine legions did not know anything about the tyrant. ”
"Ozwoods, Oldswoods............... It's a great thing that he thinks like that! Herald, I guess the sun never sets now should be our turn, right? But I'm not one of those useless aristocratic commanders, and the Atlantic warriors in my hands are not those weak and cowardly aristocratic soldiers, and since the conqueror who never sets wants to drive me to a dead end, then I'm going to leave him some 'rewards' here, go! Ship me all the things I brought out of the Atlanta Palace to the front, and today I will definitely teach the Empire that the sun never sets a lesson that I will never forget. ”
"Your Majesty said that you want to use the things imported from the dwarven kingdom of the Southwest Continent, but didn't the dwarves say that they were used to blow up the mines?"
"Isn't the stone wall made of ore?"
At the same time, the battlefield of the swamp ............
The ambush in the swamp had already ended the afternoon before yesterday, but the soldiers of Sunset needed to catch those fish that slipped through the net, let the Atlantan captives clean up the battlefield with Sunset's baggage soldiers, and hold prayers and cremations for the so-called comrades of the soldiers, so until now, the army of Sunset that originally guarded Atlantis City is still stationed in this swamp.
“…… In this battle, our side lost more than 4,000 Lancet hammer soldiers, more than 6,000 Xiyi ashigaru, more than 5,000 sunset hoplites, more than 3,000 Xiyi warriors and more than 1,000 auxiliary cavalry. The total loss is about 20,000 men, and with the fact that we still need to leave some soldiers to guard the nearly 100,000 Atlantan captives, we can still mobilize a maximum of 50,000 to 60,000 troops to Philadelphia for support. ”
"Well, I know it, then you now gather all the soldiers that can be mobilized and let them go first, I still have some things to deal with on this swamp battlefield, and when I am done, I will follow the troops with my Royal Horse Guards." After handing over the battle report as a talisman to the commander of the Tengu Legion standing in front of him, who was also the adjutant appointed by Sun Lin this time: a middle-aged Xiyi warrior, Sun Lin said to him, but just when the talisman made of paper was about to be grabbed by the Xiyi Legion Commander, a voice was not very loud but attracted the swamp, and the voices of all the soldiers who never set the sun sounded.
".......Boom" At first, Sun Lin and the Xiyi officer were confused by this voice, but after a few seconds, the look on Sun Lin's face gradually changed from confusion to doubt, and then suspicion finally turned into horror: "This is the sound of a large amount of black powder being detonated collectively, according to the direction from which the sound came from............. it is Philadelphia!" Not good! As if thinking of something, Sun Lin suddenly stood up and asked the adjutant in front of him, who was still a little confused, "Tell me!" How long is it from Philadelphia? ”
"If you march at an ordinary speed, it will take about 1 day. In the case of a hasty march......... It also takes a minimum of 20 hours. Although he didn't know why his crown was frightened, this Xiyi adjutant still told him what Sun Lin needed to promise.
"Tell me! The 60,000-strong army abandoned everything but a day's rations, weapons, and armor and began to march towards Philadelphia! ”
