Chapter 468: The War Ends
War is in chaos.
Under Eskar's orders, the main forces of the empire used their strength to rush back to the city of black gold.
It wasn't until about an hour had passed and he could no longer see the royal army behind him that Eskar breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't immediately let the army slow down.
Because they haven't returned to the City of Black Gold.
For Eskar, the only place where they can feel safe is the Black Gold City.
As long as he can get rid of Vega's pursuing troops and return to the Black Gold City, he can continue to play a protracted war with Vega with his current strength, after all, he only lost about 30,000 vanguard troops in this battle.
"Almost, almost no turning back. β
Eskar still has lingering palpitations, he really didn't expect that his smooth plan would have such a big mistake, if he didn't run fast this time, I'm afraid it would be a question of whether he could come back alive.
However, there are two mysteries that Eskar still does not understand.
The reason why this battle was lost was, of course, because of the queen, but how could it take a month for the queen to come all the way from the east coast, so Vega couldn't have foreseen today's scene a month ago, right?
Moreover, the queen left Saint Laurent without permission and came to the West Bank for such a big matter, he has not received any news so far, even if Vega hides well in the army, it is inevitable that his feet will be exposed.
But not to mention the horse's feet, even the slightest trace of the horse has not been revealed.
Only these two points, Eskar absolutely did not believe.
Vega is a man and not a god after all, and it would have been unrealistic to predict today's outcome a month ago. And Xiya is a big living person, and she is also a queen with a noble status, it is good to hide in the army for a day or two, and it will definitely be discovered after a long time.
In fact, Escal is not to blame for this.
After all, even the military commander of the dynasty of Vega was directly taken aback by Xiya's appearance, so isn't it natural that Eskar, the imperial general, didn't know about Xiya's arrival until today?
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to.
Eskar no longer dwelled on this issue, but the fear of Vega in his heart was a little deeper, and at the same time, he no longer dared to underestimate Vega's personal command ability, he really lost this battle and had nothing to say.
Of course, there is just nothing to say.
After all, there are still some loopholes in this battle, and if he and Vega's positions are reversed, he will set up an ambush in advance to ambush him on the way back. Although a large number of ambushes are at risk of being discovered, if there is no ambush, it will be a bamboo basket for nothing.
Or did he waste so much effort just to swallow his 30,000 vanguard army?
"After all, I'm still too young. β
Fortunately, Eskar ordered the whole army to continue to speed up and rush back to the Black Gold City.
He had already secretly made up his mind that when he returned to the Black Gold City, he would not be able to hold on, even if the enemy's morale was irretrievably low, he would never take another step out of the Black Gold City.
The victor dies of desire, and the loser dies of despair.
He had heard this phrase recently, and this time his defeat was largely due to superstition about his own plans and his desire for victory as a general.
Time flies.
Due to the difficulty of marching at night, you have to rely on the illumination skills of the spirit magicians to find out the way forward along the way, so between you chasing and fleeing, the Imperial army did not come to the vicinity of the Black Gold City until dawn approached.
It's close!
In just half an hour, you can enter the city and let Vega fall short.
But at this moment, the marching procession suddenly stopped.
This made Escal's heart sink for no reason, and he yelled at the adjutant: "What happened, why did you stop the advancing team without my order, don't you know that every night a quarter of an hour, the enemy in the rear is one step closer to us?"
"Commander, it's not good!"
At this time, the scout came to Eskar and said, "The city of black gold, black gold has been lost! The army of the dynasty has taken the city, and we cannot advance any further. β
"What?"
Eskar was shocked.
He hurriedly rushed to the front line and looked at the black gold city, and the cold sweat of the bean instantly covered his forehead.
On the tower of the Black Gold City, the banners of the dynasty are covered with the sun, and the soldiers are waiting one by one, and in the sky of the Black Gold City, 50 war airships are cruising back and forth, and when they find their traces, they have already driven towards them.
Also at this time.
The echo of military boots could be heard again from the rear.
The sound shook the earth and was far from being able to be uttered by tens of thousands of people.
Eskar knew even without sending scouts that it must have been Vega's pursuing army catching up, and he had fallen completely into Vega's ensemble, and there was no way to escape.
"The Imperial Army is coming. β
"The City of Black Gold has fallen. β
"Run, everyone, run, we've already lost. β
β......β
The Imperial soldiers cried out in fear.
Under great fear, the Imperial army has been reduced to lambs to the slaughter, and their morale has fallen to freezing point, because there are wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, and they have no way to retreat, which also leads to the inability to maintain the basic formation.
In less than twelve hours, the tide of battle had turned upside down.
It was only at this time that Eskar understood why Vega was not in a hurry to pursue them, but hung slowly behind them, it turned out that this was to drag down their morale and physical strength, and at the same time give them hope.
When hope turns to despair.
The already low morale and weakened physical strength of the company will become a time bomb that will eventually defeat them outright, and now even the orders of him, the commander-in-chief, will not be carried out.
"I was so naΓ―ve. β
Eskar's eyes showed deep jealousy: "It is nonsense that Vega can be called a devil who plays with people's hearts by the whole kingdom, this degree of control over the details of the war is simply appalling, and I am convinced that I lost this battle." β
Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill.
As a senior general, Eskar knows very well that in the field of five-star generals, it is not the gorgeous battle plan that can determine the direction of a war, but precisely the control of details.
Before, he felt that he was half a pound and eight taels with Vega.
But at this moment, he felt that there was a chasm with Vega that he could not overcome in his life.
"Give it one last try. β
Eskar sighed and ordered the whole army to turn their guns and turn to the pursuing troops of Vega in the rear.
That's the only way to do it now.
Because the siege is really unrealistic, looking at the neat fortifications of the Black Gold City, you can guess how the enemy's defenders have exceeded a division. Under the full defense of a division, it is impossible for a person to drive straight into the Black Gold City in just half an hour with his point.
Therefore, it can only be fought against the pursuing troops in the rear.
It's a pity that Eskar can't even make it to the trapped beast.
With the entry of the air force of the Black Gold City of Vega into the battle, the death toll soared, and the entire army of the Empire collapsed directly.
After all, Escal overestimated the morale of the army.
The defeated army was pursued by the enemy all night, and it was already sleepy and tired, and its physical strength and spirit had been exhausted to the extreme, if it were not for the belief of returning to the Black Gold City, how could it have persevered until now.
When hope turned to despair, it was natural to hold on, and the whole army collapsed.
Therefore, by the time Vega's pursuing army arrived at the scene, some of the soldiers of the Imperial Army had already laid down their arms and surrendered on their knees, and under the leadership of this part of the soldiers, the whole army had already raised the white flag.
This pursuit battle ended with Vega winning without a fight.
