Chapter 485: A Difficult Decision

After a day and a night of fighting, the Dragonwing Knights, who were already short of supplies, lost more than 200 men killed and more than 600 wounded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is quite a staggering number, after all, the cavalry of the Dragonwing Knights are not like ordinary infantry, they are all warriors on horseback.

Charging on the plains, a well-armed order of knights can easily break five times their own light infantry.

And in order to match such combat power, the price paid for training such excellent cavalry is also several times that of ordinary infantry.

Therefore, if the losses of the Dragonwing Knights are converted, they are almost equivalent to two integrated infantry legions, and the losses will be counted.

The corresponding attackers, the four infantry regiments of the Rose Army, suffered only 300 killed and 700 wounded.

The number of losses on both sides was evenly matched, but the quality of the soldiers was completely incomparable, and the Dragonwing Knights simply could not withstand this level of attrition.

Now that the Rose Army has surrounded the entire mountain, it only takes Lin Ye's order to kill the mountain and annihilate this famous army!

"My lord, in my opinion, let's go back immediately, it's too dangerous to meet with Doragon like this, what if he gets into trouble?"

An officer who followed Lin Ye to negotiate continued to advise behind him, worried, and in his opinion, he had obviously won the battle.

It's really too messy to do this kind of thing, and it will directly wipe out this Dragon Wing Knights and cause heavy damage to the Imperial Central Legion.

Why go up to the mountains and get caught up in the enemy's army and take such a senseless risk?

"Your Excellency, if you have any concerns about this trip, you may well return without accompanying the Duke himself. ”

Lin Ye paused and responded to White, he was not obliged to explain the purpose of his actions to everyone one by one, that would be too wasteful.

"Ouch, Lord Duke, what are you talking about, General Panda gave a death order for me to protect your safety, where do I dare to go back. ”

White complained about this, and he was happy when he learned that he was accompanying the Duke on the expedition, and this was an opportunity to make a good performance.

Everyone knows that the Duke of the Far East is now the hottest big man in the Rose City, and not only because he thwarted Pompey's uncle and nephew against the Imperial army.

Also because of his relationship with Wendy, most people have privately decided that this young man from the Far East will be the next candidate for Duke Rose.

At that time, at the age of less than twenty, he was the duke of the two major territories, which was definitely a feat that had never been achieved since the establishment of the empire.

Moreover, with the current relationship between the Rose Family, the Black Fire Family and the royal capital, once this young duke has any ideas, combine the strength of the two families, and then unite the Blue Frost Kingdom to the north, unite the Dromok Federation to the south, and then incite a foreign rebellion, and join forces with the remnants of Leighton's army, the one in the royal capital may not be able to sit still.

White originally had the intention of soaring from now on, but he didn't expect the Duke to do such a dangerous thing as soon as he came.

If he does something, not only will his fantasy future be shattered, but even his own life will be worried, how can he not be troubled?

"Since His Excellency White has no other choice, it is enough to remain silent, and I am sure that this meeting with General Doragon will go very well. ”

Lin Ye continued to move forward, and in front of him, he had already seen a heroic general walking over surrounded by a group of officers.

Although he had not met Doragon himself, it was obvious that he was the one who came from the portrait of Doragon in the data, as well as this momentum.

"This must be General Doragon , as the rumors say, he is as heroic as he says, what a masterpiece of a generation. ”

Lin Ye smiled lightly after Doragon stopped, with his status he didn't have to salute Doragon, but he still bowed slightly.

"Then Your Excellency is the Duke of Lin Ye in the Far East, and now the lower official and the Duke are in the hostile camp, what does the Duke mean by this trip, long story short. ”

Doragon was expressionless, he was a professional soldier who acted decently, and this time he came to meet Lin Ye out of courtesy, and he had no intention of surrendering.

"Duke Ben came to see the general this time, one is to meet the general's friend, and the other is to save the empire. ”

Lin Ye was slow and reasonable, his words were very light, but a stone startled a thousand waves, and Doragon, who was still calm, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Save the Empire? Now that the Rose family has rebelled against the Empire, the lower officials have been ordered to come to suppress it, and the Duke, as a vassal of the Empire, does not lead the army to help the Empire quell the rebellion, but colludes with the thieves, is this the so-called saving the Empire?

Dora Gon was furious, obviously disapproving of Lin Ye's statement, and his men were all indignant and full of fighting spirit.

"Didn't the general believe what the Duke said? If it was General Adolf's letter, I wonder if the general would believe it?"

Lin Ye said and handed a letter to Doragon, Doragon frowned and took it, he opened the letter without thinking, and was obviously stunned when he saw the handwriting.

"The general should know General Adolf, right?Duke Ben wrote a letter advising General Adolf to beware of Kammy and Karen, but General Adolf was upright and was framed by them, and the real intention of Rhaegar to order the south, General Adolf already knew about it. ”

"What Duke Ben wants to ask is whether the Dragonwing Knights are loyal to the usurper monarch who is not justified and has no righteous reputation, or is it the emperor who built this army with his own hands and laid the foundation of the empire? ”

Lin Ye exhorted in an accentuated tone, he always looked at the changes in Doragon's expression, and a stoic soldier like Rao is Doragon is also dispossessed at this time.

"No, how is this possible, this is definitely a fake, how can this kind of thing be true?

Doragon's hands kept trembling, and his subordinates couldn't figure it out, what a strong man Doragon was, how could he be so flustered?

"General, you are also a person with excellent insight, in which the truth and falsehood can naturally be distinguished, where to go now, where to go with this dragon wing knight created by the emperor, the fate is all in the hands of the general, I hope the general will do it himself, let's go." ”

Lin Ye sighed faintly, he turned to leave, and White immediately followed closely behind him, relieved to confirm that the imperial army was not chasing.

"General, should we just let him go, he is a very important figure on the side of the Rose family today!" an officer couldn't help but ask.

"Let him go, give the order, all the soldiers lay down their arms, and we surrender. Doragon closed his eyes.

He clenched his fists, his nails embedded in his flesh, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes, which was extremely rare for him.

Again, it was a difficult decision.
