Chapter 356: Defeated like a mountain

"Come back, give me all back!"

Tennir wielded his sword, trying to get the fleeing soldiers back into battle.

But all in vain.

The soldiers seemed to have seen the indescribable horror, and they had long lost the confidence to fight, and if they continued to stay here, they would only lose their lives in vain, so there was this scene of hugging each other.

"Defeated, defeated again. ”

A few minutes ago, he was about to cut off Vega's head, but in the next few minutes, he realized what it means to be defeated, and with his ability, he is powerless to stop this.

Now even Tenniel doubts himself.

Is he a qualified commander or not, and does he still deserve the rank of 5-star general?

"Retreat, retreat with the whole army. ”

After being forced to shout this sentence, Tenniel seemed to have lost all fighting spirit, and his ruddy face turned pale.

The time for the retreat was quick.

In less than an hour, all 200,000 troops had withdrawn from the city of Saint Laurent.

As Tenniel passed by the city gates, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

It took a lot of energy to finally break through this heavy gate from the front, and he even arrogantly equated the victory of the war with the breaking of the gate, but unfortunately Vega's cold slap slapped him in the face, almost telling him in a sneering toneβ€”

A city break is not the same as victory.

You can imagine what kind of smile is on that little ghost's face right now.

"This ...... Is that his true strength?"

Tanniel glanced nostalgically at the gates, and finally withdrew with his army.

It is no exaggeration to say that for the first time in his life, he was taught by an officer what real war is.

"Perhaps, my time is over. ”

The back of Tenniel on the war horse looks a different kind of gloomy, he has always longed for war, thinking that even if he dies, he will die on the battlefield, and suddenly he begins to become tired of war.

The two major defeats have already given birth to a psychological shadow for this old general.

At this moment, he even had the idea of learning about Jia Guitian.

"But having given up the war, what am I left with?"

Just as Tenniel was losing confidence, this heartfelt sentence blurted out.

At the age of 15, he chose to join the army.

With his weak body, he won a place in the military academy, and since then he has embarked on the road of no return to the army, he has helped the kingdom of internal and external siege to resist one war of aggression after another, and has tasted the joy of victory and fled in embarrassment because of defeat.

At an advanced age, he was still dealing with war.

He can only fight in this life, and he only knows how to fight a war, and if he loses the war, what is left of him?

Farming, herding, or business?

Unfortunately, he didn't know how to use a hoe, how to drive cattle and sheep, and how to bargain.

That's true.

He is such a useless person, who can only stupidly swing his long sword and stab the enemy's chest, and only knows how to mechanically arrange tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the best offensive position, and the only business experience he has ever had is brutally plundering the defeated side without any profits.

How can a useless person like him survive in this cruel society without war?

The thought made Tanniel shudder.

"No! I haven't lost yet!"

Tenniel almost blurted out that the moment he realized that he was about to be abandoned by the war, Tenniel was afraid, and this fear was even better than death.

He fought for half his life.

There are no relatives, and those who can't be counted on both hands are political enemies.

There are no friends, and the ones who know him best are the generals of the enemy countries.

Without a wife, he is accompanied by a shadow mage who wants to cut off his head.

......

He doesn't have everything that others have, all he has is the talent to command a war, and now someone wants to deprive him of the right to command a war?

"This is never allowed to happen. ”

Bloodshot Tennir's eyes were all over him, and he gritted his teeth and said: "No one can deprive me of the right to continue commanding the war, whether you are a god or a devil, if you want to deprive me of everything, I, Tanir, will cut off your head!"

"The order goes down. ”

Tanir said angrily: "Let Rocky continue with his plan, and tell him personally that people only lose when they give up fighting, and as long as we keep fighting, we haven't lost yet." ”

This is said to Rocky in the city, and it is also said to Tenniel himself.

He hasn't lost yet, he still has more than 100,000 soldiers, he still firmly occupies the four satellite cities, and he has besieged Vega to the death in Saint Laurent, he is the one who really takes the initiative in the war.

The advantage is in him, not in Vega.

Soβ€”

He can't give up yet, he has to keep fighting, he hasn't lost yet.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Rumble!

When the gates were slammed back shut.

In just one sentence, Vega completed the reversal of victory and defeat, and successfully took advantage of the momentum of the whole city to make the kingdom army repeat the mistakes of Kareni City again, and under the general trend, the army was defeated.

A smile appeared on Vega's face.

There was no mistake at all, and this was the smile that Tanir had imagined to be underwhelming.

Shouldn't you celebrate with a smile about your masterpiece, the victory in the war?

Deserved.

The results of this battle are undoubtedly enormous.

Although the kingdom did not lose many soldiers, nearly 1/3 of the high-level armed forces were wiped out, which made them no longer able to force an attack on the city of Saint Laurent.

Of course, there should be no blind optimism.

The so-called all the people are soldiers, and they fight with impulse.

As soon as the war is won, this momentum will be lost, and if the Kingdom army enters the city again in a few days, Vega dares to guarantee that these civilians will no longer unite against the enemy.

If it is said that marching and fighting is a one-way battle, then it will decline, and then it will be exhausted.

Then the whole people who rely on words to organize themselves are all soldiers, and they are exhausted in one go.

Therefore, warfare that relies on civilians can only be used occasionally, and cannot be based on it, and they are ultimately an untrained and undisciplined rabble.

The real way to victory is to rely on the regular forces.

Today is enough, though.

Vega has already used this method to make the United Kingdom suffer a loss.

Of course, the most important thing is that the coronation ceremony can continue.

Although this ceremony has been seriously postponed, as long as the civilians don't mind the time of the coronation, even if it is the coronation of Xiya in the middle of the night, Vega will not mind at all, this is just a ceremony that occupies the righteousness.

It's just that this ritual needs to be done in front of everyone to be effective.

So Vega re-stood on the stage and said a few words of encouragement, calming the still screaming civilians, and taking advantage of the situation to let Thea walk out of the backstage and sit on the throne prepared in advance.

The coronation ceremony has officially begun.
