Chapter 134: Defeat

"Listen to Higg's soldiers, General Trorense has been killed in battle, and the head is here, so you don't quickly lay down your arms and surrender. ”

A loud voice instantly spread throughout the battlefield, and some Hig soldiers looked up in the direction of the headquarters, and then saw that above the towering flagpole, the military flag was gone, and instead stood at the top of the flagpole a swordsman with a golden fighting aura all over his body, and at this time he was holding a human head dripping with blood in his hand.

Most of the soldiers couldn't make out the human head, but they knew that an enemy great swordsman standing at the top of their flagpole would not lie.

The morale that was originally a little low under the enemy's powerful offensive collapsed in an instant, and the first to collapse was the general's personal guard battalion, because they witnessed the whole process of the general's death, and the opponent's godly and invincible momentum completely destroyed the fighting spirit in their hearts.

The rout of the guard battalion directly led to the rout of the nearby bow and arrow camps, and it spread rapidly, and the auxiliary troops and light infantry all ran back, and the overseer team was unable to stop the complete collapse of morale, and many simply joined the ranks of fleeing.

The heavy infantry array, which was still engaged with the cavalry in the front, was already in a difficult situation to support, and at this time, the support of the rear was lost, and the defense immediately collapsed, except for the soldiers who died in the battle, most of them had no time to escape, so they could only kneel on the spot and surrender, so from the killing of Trorens by Gutsian to the collapse of the guard battalion, the offensive and defensive battle of the normal cavalry against the infantry only began in less than twenty minutes, and it evolved into a total rout of the defenders.

"Woo... Woo!"

The griffon knight in the sky blows his horn, and the battle deployment changes from assault to pursuit.

Half an hour later, there was almost no organized resistance on the entire battlefield, so under a series of military orders, a small part of the Templar cavalry chased the defeated army towards Ibu City, most of the cavalry regrouped, formed their formation, and then marched towards Ibu City in formation, and the remaining small army began to clean up the battlefield and collect supplies, especially the trebuchets and ballistae left behind by the hurried escape of the Hig Legion, which could play a huge role in the next siege. The priest who accompanied the army began to treat the wounded in battle, as long as there were no fatal injuries and no excessive bleeding, under the priest's treatment, they would basically recover, but the severity of the injury would be different, and the speed of recovery would be different. However, except for some fighters with skin injuries, they will continue to fight, and the rest of the wounded will basically withdraw from the battle sequence until the injuries are completely recovered.

In this battle, more than 1,500 people were killed in the Higg infantry legion, and more than 2,000 were captured in surrender, most of them heavy infantry and some light infantry, archers and auxiliaries at the forefront of the camp, plus a few hundred personal guards were still on their way to Ibu City, behind them about a company of more than 3,000 elite cavalry of the Templar Order was following unhurriedly.

Because Gutesian killed the enemy's main general, which led to the collapse of the enemy's morale and quickly won an overwhelming victory, the losses of the "Sword of War" legion as the attacker were not very large, among which the number of soldiers killed was only more than 100 people, 200 people who were seriously injured and could not continue to fight, and more than 500 people who were lightly injured, which can be said to have little impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire legion.

Therefore, the "God of War" legion barely made too many adjustments, and took the power of the new victory to the city of Eevee, a few miles away.

At this time, a few miles away, under the city of Ibu, there was already chaos.

Three battalions of archers, plus auxiliaries and guards, lost their armor and fled all the way, but fortunately the generals were there, and the cavalry of the Knights Templar did not desperately pursue them, but followed them from a distance, not knowing whether they were afraid of the bows and arrows in their hands, or if they had another purpose, but in short, the defeated soldiers of Higg, who were close to 3,000 men, fled all the way to the city of Eevee.

At this time, the defenders of the city had already learned of the enemy's attack, and the heavy city gate was tightly closed, and the metallic iron sheet on the city gate coldly kept the three thousand defeated soldiers out.

As soon as the defeated soldiers rushed to the city, they saw that the city gate was closed, and immediately began to shout loudly to the soldiers in the city to open the door, but the officers and soldiers defending the city had already received orders not to open the city gate to meet the enemy no matter what happened. Therefore, no matter how the defeated soldiers under the city shouted and begged, they all turned away the defeated soldiers from the city on the grounds that "the city lord has an order, the military situation is urgent, and the city gate must not be opened under any circumstances".

There was no way, after negotiation, the defeated soldiers recommended two officers to sit on the hanging basket and go up to the city wall, and discussed with the chief general of the city, Count Butler, who was also the lord of Ebu City, whether he could give the defeated soldiers a chance for the sake of the same Hig robe, and open the city for everyone to come in, so that the two soldiers could unite to defend against the invading enemy, and the possibility of keeping Eevee City would be greater.

Earl Butler, a general who had never been on the battlefield before, let alone commanded a battle, was in a state of trembling and nervousness when he received the news of the enemy's attack, and when he saw his soldiers discarding their armor through the battlements of the wall, under the escort of a group of his own soldiers. Although he has no experience in the army, but after all, he has received military training, so the basic common sense is still there, less than two hours, the enemy has been defeated and retreated to the city, which can only show that the moment the two armies clashed, their own army has been crushed and collapsed. One can imagine how terrible such an enemy is.

Especially when the enemy's banners and cavalry appeared in the front, he was even more frightened. The only thing he could rely on now was the high, thick wall beneath his feet, and if he opened the gates to let the defeated troops enter, and the enemy's cavalry took the opportunity to enter, then his only barrier would be gone.

Therefore, no matter how clever the two officers of the defeated army were and said good things, the attitude of the city lord Butler was more resolute than ever.

No, even a slap-sized gap can't be opened, this has nothing to do with courage, nothing to do with friendship, only about the security of the eastern border cities of the empire, at this time he Butler City Lord represents not his own will, but the will of the entire Hig Empire, for the security of the country, the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers is inevitable.

The two officers were finally sent to kneel for Lord Butler, but the cruelty and determination in Butler's pale expression completely disappointed them. As soon as they came down the same way, they told the defeated soldiers about the situation and the defeated soldiers in frustration and frustration, and the defeated soldiers suddenly exploded, and the defeated soldiers did not expect that the city lord would be so cruel and ruthless to leave thousands of them under the city and hand them over to the enemy to slaughter.
