Chapter 778: Both Lose
"Kill it. β
"We're going to survive!"
When this sentence echoed on the battlefield, the rebels in the darkness of the eternal night finally saw the light of day.
For them in despair, this sentence is a hope that points the way forward.
As Vega said, our retreat is not in the rear, but in the front, and the only way to survive now before them is indeed the front. As long as you can break through the Holy Dragon Army head-on, you will be able to escape from Ascension.
"Soldiers!"
Vega's last words echoed again: "I order, the whole army breaks through, breaks through their formation, and fights a bloody way, we still have hope of living, we will not die here." β
Induce food to the hungry.
Tempting money to the poor.
Tempting power to the lowly.
Tempting hope for the hopeless.
......
For a good commander, it is never about commanding the soldiers, but about guiding the soldiers, so that the soldiers will serve your purpose willingly from the bottom of their hearts, and see you as a hero.
Vega's words were like the whispers of a demon, tempting the soldiers to fall into hell willingly.
Every soldier in the rebel army is a desperate person, and the drowning man will desperately clutch at the last straw, even if they know that a small straw is simply not enough to support their weight, but what does it matter?
The desire to survive will make them abandon all reason.
As long as the coffin is not seen, no one will shed tears, and as long as there is a little hope, no one will give up.
The rebels erupted in terrifying morale.
The morale derived from the desire to survive is higher than dignity, glory, loyalty, duty, and faith...... It is not an exaggeration to say that the morale derived from this series of properties is supreme.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.
This sentence had been proven to be a lie by the Holy Dragon Army, and it was finally refuted at this moment.
It turns out that courage can really raise the strength of every soldier by a few steps...... No, it should be said that courage is enough to exert 100%, or even 200%, of its potential, and forcibly put the rebels on the same level as the Holy Dragon Army.
Boom Boom Boom β
There is no formation, no command, and no overseers.
The rebel soldiers rushed forward in a swarm, and the exit was ahead, and they would survive if they were killed.
With the blessing of this belief.
War is no longer one-sided, but has become a momentum.
Vega likes confrontational situations, because only when both sides think they will win and kill each other in a back-and-forth war can the result of one life for one, or one life for two lives.
The previous situation where the rebel army was defeated was simply for the rebels to lose men and horses, and the Holy Dragon Army, as the pursuing party, did not suffer any major losses at all.
Augustus did not understand Vega's intentions.
He never thought that the reason why Vega created the rebel army was just to fight poison with poison, use the rebel army to consume his combat power, and then let the Jialan army pick up a ready-made one.
After all, he's a wurm.
As a wurm, he can feel comfortable treating humans as pawns and livestock, how could Vega, as a human, watch his own kind kill each other and sacrifice the lives of a full half a million people?
He would have thought that Vega, who had nothing to do, wanted to break through.
Want to break through?
Of course, he couldn't have allowed it.
Finally waited for Vega's mistake, how could he miss this opportunity?
"Send in the reserve army and give me the resistance of the rebels!"
Augustus was desperate, and the reserve army in the rear was transferred up, ready to encircle the rebels in this valley, and it can be said that Augustus has now played the real fire.
Bang bang bang β
Iron intersects.
In order to grasp the last straw, one side launched fierce attacks again and again, and the other side was determined to win this war, swore to hold the defense line to the death, and resolutely did not let the other side push further, and the war entered the white heat again in the seventh hour.
"Forward, forward!"
"Hope lies ahead!"
The battle was fought from early morning to late afternoon, and no side chose to take a break for a while, as the rebels were advancing their lines to the vicinity of the exit.
That's right.
After all, the morale derived from the desire to survive was even better, and the Holy Dragon Army could only retreat step by step under the onslaught of the enemy wave after wave without giving time to rest, and finally retreated to this place.
Although the rebels achieved brilliant results.
But the officers present could see that every meter of the rebel army's advance was covered with soldiers' corpses, so by now, only 100,000 of the 500,000 rebels remained.
4/5 casualties.
This is absolutely inconceivable in any war.
Very few wars in history have been stalemate to such an extent that there has not been a winner, generally speaking, tens of thousands, or at most 100,000 deaths, because the soldiers either scattered and fled, or surrendered on their knees and became prisoners.
From this to the other.
The rebels lost 400,000, how could the Holy Dragon Army be better?
The 400,000 Holy Dragon Army has lost more than 200,000 so far, and there are less than 200,000 left. And because the high-level force has almost exhausted its magic and spiritual power, it has been reduced to a battlefield for ordinary soldiers a few hours ago.
This is fatal for the Holy Dragon Army.
The reason why the Holy Dragon Army has the absolute upper hand, in addition to the quality of the soldiers, another reason is the high-level force, and now the high-level force is no longer able to participate in the war, and it will inevitably cause greater casualties in the future.
If from the perspective of a bystander.
The war has reached this point, and the Holy Dragon Army can already retreat.
Because the rebel army has been crippled, and there is no threat to the Holy Dragon City in the future, there is no need to forcibly play a game where the high-level forces cannot participate in the battle, and they will lose 800 and injure 1,000 enemies.
If we continue to fight, even high-level armed forces will suffer, and high-level armed forces are extremely valuable resources.
But there is no turning back when you open the bow.
Defeating Vega is the obsession of every general, the war has come to this point, how can you give up halfway?!
"Not a single one is allowed to go!"
Augustus gave an unquestionable order.
With this order, the last trace of the sunset finally disappeared at the exit in front of me.
The war has come to the present.
The rebels' desire to survive still failed to make up for the huge gap in strength, and all 500,000 died on this battlefield.
Until death.
The soldiers of the rebel army only understood that there was no hope at all, and that for the drowning there was only despair from beginning to end.
That so-called glimmer of hope is nothing but a mirage forged by those in power.
"Victory, victory, victory!"
Stepping on the corpses of the rebels, the remaining less than 100,000 Holy Dragon Army raised their arms and shouted.
It was a tough battle.
But it doesn't matter, because the end result isβ
"We won!
Augustus had mixed feelings for a moment, and something called tears almost came out of his eyes.
He raised the cross-sword in his hand and let out an emotion that had been suppressed for an unknown amount of time: "I won, we won! I defeated the undefeated god of war, I won Viga Saint Laurent! This war! I won! Hahaha-"
It's like overthrowing the invincible final boss.
As the first existence in the continent to defeat the final boss, Augustus felt that it was worth it even if he died here at this moment.
