Chapter 575: Bad Result

Mines feasted in the royal capital, and even the guard of honor was ready to celebrate the triumphant return of his son Mites. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, no matter how you look at it, this is a sure thing, 8,000 cavalry against more than 20,000 peasant troops, it seems that they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But you must know that both sides are not on the same order of magnitude in terms of equipment or individual combat capabilities, not to mention that there is also Seru, which should cooperate.

And it was a cover at night, and the terrain was flat, and it also achieved the effect of a surprise attack, not to mention the outstanding commander of Mites.

Even if you casually tie a young woman to a horse, you can win this battle, which is simply a gift to Mites for nothing.

Mines didn't even look at the city walls, he invited the dignitaries and nobles in the royal capital to wait for the dawn to come.

Once dawn will be a time of celebration, the king has been besieged for so long, it is also time to rejoice, his imagination is absolutely beautiful.

So when someone hurriedly ran over to report to him about the battle situation outside the royal capital, Minnes's face became extremely ugly.

"What did you say? How could this be? How could it be possible to defeat the elite of the empire with those peasant armies? Don't be kidding!"

Mines glared at the intelligence officer fiercely, and his fierce eyes almost wished to be eaten alive by the poor fellow.

"No matter how you look at this raid, it's impossible to lose, according to the strategic deployment, today should be the time to blockade the Trident Valley, isn't it?"

"That's right, as long as all our reinforcements arrive and the valley is blocked, we will definitely be able to trap that hateful boy alive. ”

"Is this deliberately staged for the sake of entertainment? We don't believe that Mistress Mites can lose this battle. ”

The dignitaries who came here to prepare congratulatory gifts also did not believe this news, and they all laughed, just as a joke.

"No, it's not the peasant army, those farmers can't form an army, and they all withdraw after dawn, it's the Far Eastern Army, the Far Eastern Army did it!"

The intelligence officer was speechless, and his face showed an expression of disbelief, but he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.

"Shouldn't they be standing still in the Trident Valley? And the peasant army fell out with them before, so did they still run to support? And even if the Far Eastern Army rushed over last night, they wouldn't have been able to do it, it was an elite cavalry of 8,000 men!"

Mearns clutched a cup in his hand, his gaze fierce as if to force the intelligence officer to change his mind, his arm trembling from overexertion.

"Under normal circumstances, the Far Eastern Army really can't participate, but they seem to have premeditated, a strong ironclad army has long been disguised as farmers, hiding in the barracks, and they have secretly dug trenches before the battle, ready to face the battle, and they have also ambushed the cavalry in advance. ”

The intelligence officer kept reporting on the situation, and being stared at like this by Minenes put him under a lot of pressure, but he could only do his job.

"Dig a trench? How could we do such a thing because we were keeping an eye on that peasant army? They don't have a chance at all?"

The back of his hand bulged out, and he still couldn't believe the intelligence officer's words, it was too sudden for him, and the blow was too great.

"The Far Eastern Army arrived on the outskirts of the royal capital one step ahead of the peasant army, and they were stationed in the Trident Valley, and our eyes were drawn to them, and we did not think that during this time they had secretly dug trenches in the camp of the peasant army by night, and covered them with earth and planks. ”

The intelligence officer went on to explain that the cavalrymen on the battlefield last night did not know where these trenches came from, but they had not heard of this.

But after dawn, the officers of the Imperial side gradually reacted to what was going on, which was premeditated for a long time!

"In other words, the kid from the Far East had guessed in advance that the peasant army would be stationed there...... No, maybe it was his deliberate inducement to camp there, and then with the help of snow to cover the thin planks, people have no problem stepping on it, but if it is a war horse......"

Although Mines's personal ability is really not very good, after all, he has a decades of military career, and he quickly reacted to what was going on.

"Once the war horse stepped on it, under the force of the impact, it would trample that thin layer of planks to the ground, and all of them fell into the trench?"

"The goddess of light is above, is that Far Eastern Duke a demon, and has it been arranged in advance under our noses to such a point?"

"That is to say, after the Griffon Fortress lost 6,000 people, this time Mitters also lost 4,000 people, which is a full 10,000 people!"

The dignitaries whispered, some were shocked by the suddenness, and some looked at Minnes with playful eyes.

No matter how much Rhaegar trusted Mites, the fiasco of two consecutive battles, no matter how strong the enemy was, how many objective reasons existed.

Someone has to come forward to take responsibility, and this responsibility cannot be borne by Wren, which means that this time Mitters is to blame.

That is to say...... Did he really lose? What about Mites? What about my son, where is he now? Why hasn't he come to see me yet?"

Unable to control his emotions any longer, Mines threw the cup in his hand and smashed it to pieces, screaming loudly in frustration.

He had infinite hopes for his son, but he didn't expect to lose the battle again, is this to push the whole family to a dead end?

"General Mites, he ...... General Mites ...... he said, "The intelligence officer was very embarrassed and didn't know how to report.

"Hmm, what's wrong with him......? What happened to him on the battlefield? Was he killed in battle? If that's the case......"

Instead of being saddened by the possible bad news, Minenes softened his expression a lot, because if Mites died in battle.

This also means that he has fulfilled his duties as a commander and has done his duty for the empire, even if the royal capital has to be held accountable.

His family would not be implicated, and in Minnes's subconscious, he actually thought that this was the best outcome.

After all, if Mitters came back unharmed, the entire family would have to bear the responsibility of sitting together, which he didn't want to see anyway.

He has stayed up for so many years, and it is not easy for him to sit in the position of Minister of War, and he doesn't want to move his nest!

"No, Mistress Mites, he didn't die in battle, but ...... Captured......"

The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment, but told Minnes the worst possible outcome.
