Section 419 The blockade continues
The next thing is too easy to do, and the morale of the coalition forces has been directly reduced to negative. Mei'er only came out at this time, and the slight group fear technique completely wiped out the last trace of honor in the hearts of the coalition forces, and then Mei'er just surrendered lightly without killing. The coalition troops on the entire battlefield were as if they had spoken in advance, and they rolled their saddles and fell off their horses in unison, kneeling on the ground and asking for surrender. The next thing is to save the wounded, clean up the battlefield, arrange prisoners, etc., so I won't go into details.
According to later statistics, 50,000 troops of the coalition university became prisoners, the rest of the first and second echelons were killed, the defeated fourth echelon suffered about 20,000 casualties, and the rest were corrected on the other side of the blockade line. The Dragons suffered hundreds of wounds, mostly slightly, and none of them died.
Such a disparity in the proportion of casualties is really unbelievable. But Mei'er really used all kinds of favorable forms to accomplish this miracle. But think about it, it's really reasonable, the coalition troops have been fighting with the cyclops from beginning to end, fighting the berserkers, one of them is covered in magic shields, the other is covered in iron sheets, and it is too difficult to hurt one without completing the encirclement.
As for the fragile centaur and mage troops, they have always been out of the range of the coalition forces, in fact, many of the coalition light cavalry units are equipped with short bows, but unfortunately, in the blizzard weather, the bow arm is very brittle, and it will break when it is pulled, making it impossible for the coalition army to complete effective killing. Even the arrows that can be shot occasionally are greatly reduced, and they can't kill anyone at all. The mages and giants had magic shields, and the dragon riders had heavy armor and were not afraid to shoot, so they only created hundreds of centaurs.
Poor coalition commander Tabas knew that he would wake up the next day. The first thing is to take the sword. After pulling it out, he was about to wipe his neck, but fortunately he was hugged by his adjutant.
"What are you doing here, sir?" said the adjutant anxiously.
"Let me go, I can't insult the rules of the Scarlet Twin Flags, I have to die!" Commander Tabas said sadly.
"My lord, you have only lost a battle, and it is not time yet?" The adjutant hurriedly said: "The siege battle of the Blood-colored Double Banner in history has been fought for half a year, and you only talked about it, so there is no need to die now, right?"
"It's not the same. Historically, everyone has an absolute advantage, and there is still hope of winning, but it is absolutely impossible for me to break through this hurdle!" said Tabas, the commander of the coalition forces, sadly: "Judging by the distribution of their troops. Relying only on ordinary troops, in such small terrain conditions. Even if I fight the rest of the troops, I have no hope of winning!"
Coalition Commander Tabas said almost with tears in his voice, "The reason why they only put out a small number of troops at the beginning. It just wants me to have the confidence to win, so that I can take the initiative to dig the trap they dug. I'm an idiot. You're really fooled! This hateful Long Qingtian. Why is he so yin! I'm so stupid that I even hang the blood-colored double flag, why am I so stupid? I'm ashamed of my trust in Miss, I'd better call me dead, I'm really shameless!"
"My lord, don't, we can't do it, can we still ask for reinforcements?" The adjutant said: "As long as we ask for the internal dispatch of troops, I don't believe it, they are only 10,000 people, can they really stop us here forever?"
"It's too late to pull!" Commander Tabas said bitterly: "The domestic and ground troops are immediately allocated, and it will take two or three months to reach us, and even if they can break through, it will take more than a month to reach Miss, and for such a long time, Miss will definitely not be able to hold on." ”
"Hmph!" Commander of the coalition forces, Tabas, said disdainfully: "You can all think of it, can Long Qingtian not think of it? In a few days, the pure cavalry unit of the Great Prince will become a pure infantry unit, and it would be good for him to keep a small life in the hands of Nicholas! Hey, besides, I am sure that at most, it is only two hundred miles away from us, and the troops that the Dragon Legion will give to the Great Prince will never reach us." ”
"How do you know?" asked the adjutant.
"Hey, you, why haven't you grown up by my side for so long. Commander Tabas, the commander of the coalition forces, said with a wry smile: "The Dragon Legion is just a title given to them on a continent, according to reliable sources, they are actually a division and regiment, that is, 100,000 people, although they don't know their specific number and establishment." But presumably there can't be only 10,000 men in a division, right?
"Yes, not to mention anything else, there are winged troops in the Dragon Legion, and the whole continent knows where these people have gone? Could they still be hiding in the forest, waiting for us?" asked the adjutant.
"No, yesterday, I could see that they were also at the end of the crossbow, after all, our number is several times that of theirs, there is no reason not to use the wingman troops at that time, so let's just say that the winged people are not here at all. Commander Tabas said, "By the way, how did things develop after I passed out yesterday?"
"A woman came out of them to persuade them to surrender, and the miscellaneous people surrendered-" The adjutant said angrily, "Fifty or sixty thousand men in short, damn it, don't you have the courage to fight to the death?
"Hey, I don't blame them, it's all my incompetence in command, and I hurt them! Coalition Commander Tabas said exasperatedly. Then it is necessary to cut yourself.
"Don't, my lord!" the adjutant hurriedly stopped him and said, "What should you do with Miss Four? What should we do, do you really leave these hundreds of thousands of people behind?"
"This!" Commander Tabas, the commander of the coalition forces, began to hesitate, it didn't matter if others didn't care, Ouyang Ruolan was reluctant. It can't be left alone.
At the beginning, he was framed by the enemy and wanted the whole family to behead, but Ouyang Ruolan saw that he was wronged, and he went around left and right, and finally washed away his grievances for him and saved the lives of their family, and now, it was Ouyang Ruolan who fought hard to make him, a person who had no background to rely on, to be the commander of the 500,000 army, this kindness was too great, and he had to pay it back even if he died.
"Okay!" Commander Tabas put down his sword and thought, "I'll live for a while for Miss's shame, if something happens to Miss, I'll not be too late to die!"
"Yes, the marshal is right to think so, with your talents, I think you will definitely be able to find a way to overcome the difficulties in front of you, don't look at you, but you are a candidate that Miss values?" the adjutant advised.
"Yes, I can't let Miss down!" Commander Tabas, the commander of the coalition forces, then regained his spirits, thought carefully for a while, and said, "Prepare for the record!"
"Yes!" the lieutenant hurriedly pulled out a quick hide and pen, ready to record Tabas's orders.
"One, send someone to inform Miss of our situation, and ask her to think of countermeasures as soon as possible. Second, send someone to inform the eldest prince and tell him to hurry back to help. Strive to learn from me. If it doesn't work, give it a try. Third, notify the country and ask them to quickly dispatch reinforcements, to be masters, the stronger the better, no matter how many ordinary soldiers come, it is useless. The commander of the coalition army, Tabas, said in high spirits at this time: "Miss is likely to have fallen into a heavy siege, and you can't walk on the grassland, send a stall to walk along the flowing flowers, in the water, it's easier to hide, it's safer!"
After the adjutant left, the coalition commander Tabas thought about the conversation just now, and suddenly he remembered what the adjutant said, and said to himself in surprise: "It was a woman who came out to persuade him to surrender, is my opponent a woman? That must be the Mei'er who fought a tie with the Valkyrie, oh my God, it's incredible, no wonder I lost so badly? The seven princesses of the Valkyries can't win against her, and I'm the oldest, and I didn't lose unjustly this time!"
A few days later, the eldest prince, who was confronting Nicholas, finally received the news that the reinforcements had been blocked and the back road had been cut off. The rest died on the way. The elusive Wingman Scout is a nightmare for these messengers,
After the big pretence got the news, his head was so shocked by this bad news that he couldn't think of anything, so he had to ask the deputy marshal Kang Chuan next to him, Kang Chuan is the serious generalissimo of the Kampas Empire, this time he is nominally the deputy marshal of the eldest prince, in fact, he is the real commander of the army, after all, the eldest prince is still young, and there is no old and serious person by his side, who dares to let him out to lead the troops?
"It's not good, it's not good!" Deputy Marshal Kang Chuan frowned and said: "The military god is really elusive, and now it seems that his troops can be moved at will in the Elven Forest, and they are not afraid of the attack of the demonic beasts inside." Hey, we shouldn't have come here first!"
In fact, he was resolutely opposed to taking the lead at the beginning, but the eldest prince was confused by Ouyang Ruolan's mist soup, and he didn't listen to him at all, so he came first, and now it's good, it's easy to come, but he can't go back.
You say how aggrieved can Vice Marshal Kangchuan be psychologically, right?
"Wasn't it afraid that Nicholas would advance at the beginning? When the time comes, we will fight back, how hard will it be?" The eldest prince then said impatiently: "Now is not the time to discuss this, the most important thing is, what should we do?"
"What else can I do?" Deputy Marshal Kang Chuan said helplessly: "Hurry up and retreat, and see if you can break through this pass with the troops of the Hofu Empire!"
"Hey, I'm really unwilling, that Tabas, the commander of the Hofu Empire, is a fool at all!" The eldest prince said angrily: "He has 500,000 regular troops and thousands of warships, how can he be blocked by someone?"
"It's not him!" Deputy Marshal Kang Chuan affirmed: "It's the opponent who is too strong, don't forget, he even hung the blood-colored double flag, and the casualties in just one day were close to 80,000, and another 50,000 were captured. ”
"Aren't we going to be finished?" said the eldest prince in horror, "According to what you say, we can't get through at all, can we only wait for the food to run out and be captured?"
"Hehe, Your Highness. This is impossible!" Deputy Marshal Kang Chuan hurriedly smiled and comforted: "The troops may not be able to take all of them away, but I am still very sure of escorting you out." After all, the Liuhua River is so big, it can't be completely blocked by the 30,000 naval army of the Han Dynasty alone, if the situation is really irreparable, I will order someone to cut down and build a ship, personally escort you across the river, and then go back from the flower grassland, such a big grassland, it's not easy for them to stop us?"
"That's good, as the prince, I'd rather die than be a prisoner!" said the eldest prince pretending to be calm.
"Of course!" Deputy Marshal Kang Chuan hurriedly smiled, "How can His Royal Highness be a prisoner?"
Next, the Kampas Empire began to retreat slowly, and their war horses finally reached the time of poison, and began to collect a large number of horse corpses, and the soldiers of the Kampas Empire were still terrified.
They retreated, but Nicholas was about to enter, and he led his troops to follow behind the Kampas Empire without hurry, keeping a safe distance of fifty miles, and the navy began to move, completely blocking the Liuhua River, in order to be able to blockade it more thoroughly. Nicholas hurriedly requisitioned a large number of small boats, although the small boats that could only hold a few people could not be used for combat, but they were still good for guarding, and guarding the Elven Forest, it was too fast to start a small boat.
Coupled with the requisition and the original ones, in just ten or so days, tens of thousands of small boats were patrolling around the Liuhua River. The Great Prince looked worried, and he was beating a drum in his heart, could he still go over with such a dense patrol? The reason why he was so worried was that this problem was already imminent.
When they had retreated for less than ten days, they ran into great trouble, and on their way, two thousand centaurs swaggered and occupied a small hill, which was about three hundred meters high, and was a small hill that covered a radius of several miles.
At the foot of the hill on either side of the hill are the Elven Forest and the edge of the Liuhua River. The hill is right in the middle of the narrow passage and is one of the narrowest parts of the entire passage. The terrain is very dangerous, so to speak, if you don't capture it, don't think about going there, and this place is only less than two hundred miles away from the nameless hill.
Because this hill is relatively high and the terrain is dangerous, it is easy to be noticed, so it has a resounding name - Barricade Mausoleum. Who told it to be on the road? If you pass it, and you know the nameless hill behind you, it will be a good road. And once the coalition forces converge at Nameless Hill, it will be difficult for a small Nameless Hill Heights to block the front and rear attacks of a million-strong army. Therefore, it can be said that the only obstacle to the coalition forces meeting at this time is the only obstacle.
Due to the urgency of time, the coalition army could not afford to consume, under the advice of Deputy Marshal Kang Chuan, as soon as the prince arrived here, he immediately launched an attack with all his might, because there were about 50,000 war horses that were not dead for the time being, so he could barely raise 50,000 cavalry, and in the first wave of the offensive, he invested all the remaining cavalry in his hands, and at the same time, the infantry followed closely behind, and it was extremely necessary to capture the barricade in one fell swoop.
As for the conventional tactics of sending small drum troops to test it, after seeing that the opponent was a centaur, it was completely abandoned by Deputy Marshal Yasukawa, and the range of the centaurs was already quite far and now it is standing at a high place, and the range must be far away, how can a small group of troops get close? It is simply to deliver food to others, ensuring that nothing can be tested.
Besides, the number of war horses is decreasing at any time, it is still 50,000 in the morning, and it is not possible to say that by the afternoon, there will be 40,000 left. So I don't know if it's good to go directly into the battle, even if I die in battle, I don't feel distressed, but this battle is completely different from that of Nameless Hill.
As soon as the Kampas Empire's large-scale attack began, five hundred elven mages flew out from behind the centaurs, and they began to bombard wildly. They weren't like the Battle of Nameless Hill, when they mainly used secondary spells, but this time they smashed the most powerful destruction spell directly into the heads of the Kampas soldiers.
What chain lightning, giant explosion flame, meteorite, ice dragon magic, etc., what spell is powerful and lethal can be used. In the blink of an eye, a beautiful meadow with fragrant grass has become a purgatory on earth, full of corpses, screams, cries, explosions, and loud sounds, which can be heard far away.
The Grand Prince of the Kampas Empire, Dajia, and Deputy Marshal Kang Chuan were directly dumbfounded, how could they have seen so many high-level mages working together? But in just a few minutes, more than half of the 50,000 cavalry at the head were killed or wounded, and the rest of the people were all lucky people who did not enter the magic range, they didn't say a word, they just turned around and ran back, and scattered the infantry behind, it can be seen that they are afraid of what they have become, I hope these poor guys will not be scared out of depression.
