Chapter 603: It's hard to ride a tiger
While Lomin was dealing with the rear, Zagmer fled back to the army, also facing a large number of affairs.
Unlike Luo Ming, although Luo Ming is also a little busy, basically the things that need him to pay special attention to deal with are beneficial, and no matter how bad they are, they are normal affairs.
For example, sulfur production, such as entertaining merchants, and then discussing how to knight his subordinates to reward and boost morale...... Even if you are busy, it hurts and you are happy.
But Zagmer, in addition to rejoicing in the aftermath of his escape, was faced with a mess and a bunch of irritating and infuriating.
For example, how many wounded soldiers escaped but died, and he had to squeeze out manpower to bury them.
For example, which soldiers have lost their officers, which officers have all died or run away, and which officers have escaped quickly, and their strength has not only not been damaged much, but they have also absorbed some remnants of other people's soldiers and become stronger......
After counting all this, it is another difficult problem to consider how to reorganize the troops.
In addition to this, after joining up with the large army, there are also deserters.
Originally, this army came here to make meritorious service and win honors, and to win in order to divide the spoils of war, and there were no deserters along the way, but now there are actually them, which proves that there are already a few soldiers who have no hope for the prospect of this war.
Every time he dealt with something, his mood would have worsened, and if he hadn't endured it well, he might have spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in anger.
And Zagmer now had an even more troublesome thing to do.
"What? What authority do you have to order me?"
He snarled loudly at a mirror, but his voice was a little muffled because of the large bandages around his neck and chin, which almost covered his entire mouth.
It's not that he's really injured there, it's because he cut his beard last time to escape, and now he can only use bandages to cover up this humiliation.
Another bearded middle-aged man was reflected in the mirror, and the man smiled and said, "This is not an order, but a suggestion." If I want to calculate your words, as long as I don't contact you, anyway, you can see for yourself......"
As he spoke, he directly cut off the communication - this kind of communication is also very expensive, and it only costs money, but it also needs to consume some spell consumables, and it may not be possible to grab it by looting on the spot, so it must be spared.
A nearby priest respectfully held up a quill inlaid with gems and inkwells, and it emitted a faint glow, floating on the paper, and began to write automatically.
When it was finished, the priest put the pen away, and Zagmer began to read the paper as soon as he grabbed the ink and dried, and soon let out a muffled grunt and slammed the paper on the table.
"No, you can't just ...... it," he twitched his cheeks for a moment, and many thoughts went through his mind, then he folded the letter and stuffed it into his bosom, and summoned a cronie from outside the tent to get Vytautas.
"You're looking for me?" Vytautas walked in.
The same escape from the rout, the same aftermath, Vytautas looked more energetic.
However, Zagmer was not in the mood to envy the youth of others, so he hurriedly called Vytautas over and began to discuss.
It is true that the military leaders of Beran have wine bags and rice bags, and some brainless men, but there are also some smart people - but Zagmer does not dare to fully trust them, especially in this sensitive time, they can hardly guarantee that they will not do anything to harm the overall situation for their own interests.
Wasn't it just that a few army leaders took the lead in escaping? One army leader even hid with his men and did not know where he went, while another army leader spread rumors that the rout was all the responsibility of him, the commander, which was really infuriating.
However, Vytautas had given him a suggestion not long ago to abandon his helmet and robe, which helped him escape, and now it seems a little more credible.
"I didn't expect it ......to come to this," Vytautas was also surprised to hear Zagmer say some new information, but he was not shocked for long, and immediately said, "With all due respect, we only have one intact minecar, and it will take a while to repair the other one, and a large number of infantry have been damaged, and the siege capacity has been reduced by more than half."
Do you want to continue the siege?"
"It's too ...... to give up like this" Because the attack on Iron Fire City has already been built into so much, Zagmer is also a little hesitant at this moment.
With a sigh, he said: "It's not that we can't give up, but if we just walk away like this, what will those who follow our Belan Army think, and what will the leaders of the various armies think? ”
"Then attack one last time. Vytautas said without hesitation.
"For the last time?" Zagmer asked, confused.
"Yes, for the last time! and led by the main combatants and the minions who follow us. If you succeed, you will be able to immediately turn all unfavorable situations and turn defeat into victory!"
Vytautas seemed to be excited and nervous, took a slight breath, and then continued: "If it fails, then it will make the main combatants admit defeat and no longer make noise, and consume the strength of the servant army, so that we can control it, and it can also make them and Viscount Meiquan further enmity and cannot be easily reconciled!"
"Shhhh
But this was only a subconscious surprise, and after a moment of deliberation, he accepted the offer.
In war, there is no warmth at all, and the lives of soldiers on both sides are just numbers, chips, and as long as they are worth it, they can be thrown out and exchanged.
And this strategy, which seems to be to let friendly forces go to their deaths, can reunite the already divided internal opinions and unite the army more closely, and some sacrifices are worth it for this goal.
"So, are you willing to take on a heavy responsibility?" said Zagmer, narrowing his eyes, staring at Vytautas.
Being able to come up with such a poisonous plan at such a young age, Zagmer knew that he must not be underestimated, so he must also be involved in this matter, and he must not be given the opportunity to stay out of the matter and put the black cauldron on his head.
"I'm honored!" Vytautas said without hesitation.
His eyes shone with a blazing light of ambition.
Zagmer naturally saw it, but he didn't have much choice now, and even if this young man had great ambitions, it would be impossible to turn against him for a long time, and as for whether Vytautas would harm other Beran nobles - he didn't care.
