Chapter 614: The Battle of Mordan (16)
"Your Excellency, I think we should retreat if we can." In the camp tent on the side of Ihuasha, His Excellency General Cross frowned and looked at the strategic map on the table for a while, then raised his head and said to the eldest prince of the United Kingdom of Ahuasha: "The cavalry troops have not yet used the Pok bird to send back the news of the breakthrough, if I am not mistaken, it is estimated that the cavalry troops have now been wiped out by the side that the sun does not set with some unknown methods, and now the advantage of our army's strength is not very obvious, and the troops dedicated to dealing with infantry have also been destroyed, Your Excellency the Great Prince, We cannot afford to bury the only troops in the hands of our United Kingdom of Ahuasa for the sake of a written agreement. ”
"But Your Excellency General Cross, it is clear that our army is now one step closer to victory." The eldest prince of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha pointed to the strategic map on the table and said: "Now that the defense line of the army that the sun never sets has been forced back by our army for a hundred meters again, as long as we attack forward for a period of time, our army can force it to the front of the army camp area where the sun never sets." General Cross, now that the moment is about to be decided, we can't retreat! At least not yet! You should know how terrifying the lethality of the ranged troops of the road is that the sun never sets, and if we expose our backs to those soldiers who never set the sun now, our soldiers will be slaughtered. ”
"But........." Just as Cross was about to continue, an Aihuasha soldier ran to the camp in a panic, and said to the eldest prince of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha and General Cross with a happy face: "Report to Your Excellency the Great Prince, Your Excellency the General!" The sun never sets, and the army seems to be unable to hold on and retreat back! ”
"Really? It's great that you can get someone to write an update on this war, and I think the people of the United Kingdom of Ihuasa will be inspired by it! After receiving the news that the army of the sun never sets has retreated again, the eldest prince of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha said, "You see, Your Excellency, we really shouldn't withdraw our troops now, and maybe it is our cavalry troops of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha who have caused the current situation. ”
"But what if it's a trap on which the sun doesn't set?" Cross said with a worried face: "Your Excellency, the eldest prince, don't you think we have been fighting too smoothly in the past few days?" Isn't it too weird for the sun never sets? ”
"Your Excellency General Cross, what do you mean by that. Do you mean that the combat effectiveness of our Ehuasha warriors will not be able to achieve today's results? His Excellency the Great Prince of the United Kingdom of Aihuasha said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Our Aihuasha warriors are elite soldiers honed in the repeated invasions of the Water Qilin Empire, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the soldiers on the side of the sun, and don't forget that there are tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops from the commercial alliance in the army of the sunset. ”
"Of course I know, Your Excellency." Cross hurriedly explained: "Of course I have confidence in our Ehuasa warriors, but I still want to ask your Excellency the Great Prince to think about the situation when our Ehuasa warriors fought against the soldiers on the sun for so many days, didn't you find a very strange thing, Your Excellency the Great Prince?" ”
"What's the matter?" The eldest prince said with a frown after pondering for a moment.
"Your Excellency, the eldest prince, although from the beginning of the war to the present, the army of the sun never sets has been beaten by our Aihuasha troops and retreated again and again, but I have not been careful to find that the casualties of the side of the sun do not set much, and many times the army of the sun does not set when they are engaged with our army to the point of excessive physical exertion. Leaving the long-range troops behind the palace and then began to retreat, and even in the midst of so many encounters, when our army and the sun never set army went head-to-head, our army did not kill many soldiers who did not set the sun at all, and most of those who were killed by us were the soldiers who stayed behind the palace when the sun did not set and retreated. ”
"Your Excellency General Cross, I know what you want to say." The eldest prince pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed. The army of the sun never sets has the opportunity to lead me into the depths of the kingdom of Mordan, but the problem is that if the sun does not set, then it must have the conditions and ability to do so. But now the sun never sets, the side is not at all able to match our army in terms of troops. General Cross, do you believe that in less than half a month, the army of the sun does not set has the ability to destroy a kingdom? And most importantly......"
"What is it? Your Excellency the Great Prince? General Cross asked, confused.
"We can't go back now." As he spoke, His Excellency the eldest prince showed a wry smile: "General Cross, you were originally from the Principality of Silk, and I was originally the eldest prince of the Principality of Lorre, I have already said it, don't you still understand this?" In other words. Do you think the royal family of the United Kingdom of Alvatha is really capable of recruiting more than 80,000 strong men in less than a few days? Not to mention that some of them were borrowed from the Kingdom of Morta. ”
"Damn the Kingdom Council." After receiving the true words of the eldest prince, General Cross's face instantly became extremely ugly: "These moths of the Ehuasha Kingdom, your ancestors should not have been merciful to your ancestors back then. These moths should have been killed when they were sheltered! Well, these fellows have forgotten the favor of your ancestors to them, Your Excellency, and are still thinking of that little benefit under such circumstances. ”
"yes." The eldest prince sighed helplessly: "For the sake of these 80,000 troops, there are 5 more cities in the United Kingdom of Alvatha that no longer belong to the control of the kingdom, and he has also received a death order: the army that the sun does not set that has swelled directly to 300,000 people after annexing the commercial alliance must be killed, otherwise, ......... Alas, now our only hope is to join up with the Mordan forces as soon as possible, and only when the overall number is relatively equal, can we truly contend with the army on which the sun never sets. ”
"I see."
A few hours later...............
Looking at the corpses of the knights and horses of Ehuasha all over the ground, the faces of the eldest prince and Cross were not very good-looking.
"Sure enough, has the cavalry unit been wiped out?" The eldest prince said with a bitter face: "Judging from the degree of rotting wounds on these corpses, as well as the blood stains around you, it seems that the army that never sets the sun has already annihilated our cavalry unit yesterday not long after the cavalry of our army entered the Avenue of Egger, and not only annihilated, but also disposed of the corpses of the dead of the army that never sets............ How did this group of cavalry troops annihilate in such a short period of time when the sun never sets? ”
"I guess you used the fortifications, right? Your Excellency, you see, there are obvious signs of wooden stakes being inserted in this area. As he spoke, Cross crouched down and pointed to the area around Iger Avenue that had clearly been flipped. In fact, it was the trace of the fence of the camp where the sun never set, and said: "And judging from the scattered corpses of our cavalry, it seems that they used to rush into a large military formation of the army that never sets before they died in battle, Your Excellency the prince, you can look at the area where the dead bodies of our cavalry are located behind us, as for how to be annihilated.......... it seems that it was because of the rush to kill the army that does not fall in the near future, and as a result, because the fortifications not only did not penetrate the army formation of the sun that does not set, but because they were trapped in the army that the sun does not set, In the end, he was surrounded and killed by the soldiers on both sides of the sun, and was trapped in the military formation after being cut off from the retreat, but there are many doubts in this statement that cannot be explained! ”
"What is the suspicion, Your Excellency General Cross?" The eldest prince asked.
"First of all, Your Excellency, you see, judging from the area where the corpses of our cavalry soldiers and the horses fell, our cavalry army has not had close contact with the fortifications of the side where the sun never sets, that is to say, the side that does not set the sun blocks our cavalry troops before the fortifications, but do you think that the sun will not set will have such a strong infantry, or so many soldiers forming a human wall to block our cavalry army without relying on the fortifications?"
"Go on." The eldest prince frowned.
"Secondly, if you want to resist the charge of our Aihuasha heavy cavalry troops, then you must use hoplites, and if you want to prevent our heavy cavalry from breaking out, you need to follow more heavy infantry, after all, the body of the light infantry and the weak armor on the body can't resist the war horses covered in battle armor, but Your Excellency, you and I both know how slow the movement speed of the heavy infantry is, if I were those heavy cavalry, with the speed of the cavalry, I would have broken through the siege long before this, Even if we can't break through, then the corpses of my comrades and I can't be concentrated in the area where you are now standing, Your Excellency, the Great Prince. ”
"Is it possible that the sunset soldiers inadvertently gathered the bodies of our soldiers in this vicinity while collecting the bodies of their comrades." The eldest prince asked with a solemn face. And in this regard, Cross shook his head: "Impossible, our military doctor said that these traces have not been moved at all, at most they have only been lifted and put down, and they should be the traces left by the sun when they searched for the corpses of their comrades, and at the end of the day, the most important suspicion is that Your Excellency the eldest prince You know that if you want to resist a cavalry unit, no matter how long it takes, the number of troops required must be at least equal to the strength of the cavalry, and to eliminate a cavalry unit, especially in the case of encirclement and annihilation, The number of troops required must be at least 1 times the number of cavalry, but Your Excellency, do you remember how many soldiers our army had before the sun never set? There are more than 60,000 people, plus the number of infantry that never sets, it has reached nearly 90,000, which means that at that time, there were only 10,000 hand-to-hand soldiers at most, so how could the soldiers who did not set in the sun be able to encircle and annihilate our cavalry troops under such circumstances? ”
"Your Excellency! Your Excellency, General! The sun never sets and the army is back! As soon as Cross finished speaking, a herald of Avasha ran over in a panic while shouting, and five words also appeared in the hearts of the two senior generals of Avasha at the same time: "Not good!"
