Chapter 165: The War Ends
Baseileus's tone was unusually calm at the moment, but everyone could hear the suppressed anger of the Macedonian military god. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
His expression was gloomy, and his tone exuded a frightening calmness.
As soon as these words came out, almost all the generals present were shocked. The young general who had shouted earlier was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned extremely pale:
"Fa, His Highness Falusi is dead? How is it possible, His Highness is ......"
Barcelus's expression was grim, and he said in a cold tone: "Do you think I will joke about this kind of thing? His Highness Farousi was killed in battle, and his body has been identified. Not only me, but also the commanders of the third and fourth legions also knew, but a few days ago it was to stabilize the morale of the army, and it was just a secret not to mourn. ”
Several generals present were full of shock, and then they looked at the two generals beside them, and sure enough, they saw that their faces were ugly, and they didn't say a word from the beginning to the present, and they finally believed Barcellus's words in their hearts.
"General KGG, the commander of the 3rd Army, and General Vidocq, the commander of the 4th Army, have ordered the whole army to assemble at this moment, as for you, ......"
Baseileus pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Your Sixth and Ninth Legions are all descendants of His Highness Falusi, and since Your Highness has died in battle, the army is naturally controlled by me, the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
Of course, if you refuse to withdraw your troops and intend to stay here for revenge, I, Barcelus, will naturally not stop it, and the Eighth Army will be fully mobilized this afternoon, and I can only wish a few good luck!"
The young general's face was pale, and the generals of the Sixth and Ninth Army Corps beside him also looked at each other, not knowing what to say: after all, they were just some high-ranking generals, and they were probably far inferior to Barcellus in terms of seniority and strength. However, as the descendants of Falusi, they have a lot of prestige in their respective legions, and if His Highness has encountered an accident at this moment, it may be in vain for his people to stay.
Besides, not to mention whether they are willing to stay or not, most of the more than 20,000 soldiers of the two legions must be unwilling to obey orders. In addition, His Royal Highness Falusi is dead, leaving tens of thousands of main forces to resist the Northwest Army is tantamount to sending him to death!
Thinking of this, these generals were all shocked, and finally couldn't help but express their willingness to accept Barcelus's moderation. Even the young general who had questioned Barcelus before was flushed, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Basellus snorted coldly, as if he had expected this. But he doesn't care about these at the moment, after all, the death of Farousi is too big, and after his commander returns to Macedonia, I'm afraid he will have to face countless pressures!
However, he was quite surprised by the corpse that the Northwest Army sent back to Falusi. Although the dead are not as useful as the living, the Northwest Army did not use the corpse of His Highness Falusi to make a fuss, which was somewhat surprising to him.
In Baseileus's view, this is undoubtedly a statement by the Northwest Army to himself, and it seems that the upper echelons of the Northwest Army are also reluctant to fight with him anymore. The generals on both sides had a tacit understanding that the Macedonians should go, and the Northwest Army did not want to increase casualties in vain. So they preferred to hand over the body of Falusi in exchange for an early withdrawal of Macedonia.
War, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a continuation of politics!
Since the Northwest Army already has the intention of compromise, then he Barcelus must also have to fight to the death with the Northwest Army. Since His Highness Farousi is dead, there is no need for him to sacrifice his own soldiers to avenge him.
After all, the Eighth Army has already damaged its vitality, and it is conceivable that after returning to Macedonia, it will inevitably face a greater storm, and if the strength in his hands is weakened again, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to protect himself.
As for the Northwest Army, although it has lost nearly 10,000 warriors, now is not the time to settle accounts. Since they intend to compromise, it is best for the two sides to reach a tacit understanding, and our Macedonia will slowly withdraw our troops, and your Northwest Army does not have to get too close.
When Barcelus thought of this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, it seems that the Duke of Casa on the other side also has a little bit of thought in his heart? Hmph, it's just that the account of nearly 10,000 warriors killed and injured in the golden armor, I, Barcelus, will have to recover it from Moxi sooner or later......
The news of the withdrawal of the Macedonians soon reached the barracks of the North-Western Army.
Almost in half a day, the two legions around Sadran had withdrawn westward, and reports from sentinels and scouts continued to come from Sadrand.
In the city of Sadrand, the two regular regiments in the south of the city had also begun to withdraw in the afternoon. Such a swift retreat came without warning, but it was swift and orderly.
A large amount of supplies and food have been loaded and transported away, and countless money and property have also been plundered by Macedonia. The heads and troops of the black crush were almost invisible, and tens of thousands of Macedonians evacuated Sadrand almost in half a day.
Su Ya urgently summoned all the generals of the Northwest Army, as well as Perry and José, and others were invited to Su Ya's military tent together.
According to the investigations of the sentinels and scouts, the Eighth Legion, the strongest in Macedonia, was still in charge of the break, and the Ninth Legion was assisted by nearly 10,000 people. Obviously, this time Barcellus is not going to give the Northwest Army a chance to invade. And the Northwest Army is naturally very aware of this at this moment, watching the Macedonian army leave one by one, although they are a little unwilling, many soldiers are still a little lucky: after all, these guys have finally been driven away!
From the beginning of the spring of last year, when the Macedonian army led troops to invade Moxi, to the beginning of winter this year, the Macedonians completely withdrew their troops, and the war in Moxi, which lasted for more than a year, was finally over.
Compared with the hundreds of years of war history between the two countries, this war is short and insignificant, but the serious losses caused to Moxi are extremely heavy. Most of Moxi fell to the Macedonian side, and all the cities and counties outside the border were lost.
The Qianli River Valley corridor was completely in the hands of the enemy, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and the fighting destroyed almost the entire agriculture of Moxi. Countless hungry people, displaced people and rebel troops are all over the border, and even if it is rebuilt in the future, it will be an extremely difficult task.
The four legions of Moxi's army, plus Perry's five thousand cavalry of the Central Army, were only about 60,000 men left at this moment. However, Su Ya's strategy of avoiding the enemy has achieved great results, except for the rout in the early stage of the war, almost most of the Moxi army was gathered into the pass, relying on the Moxi Pass, and blocked the Macedonians for half a year.
The main forces of Moxi's four legions were almost all preserved, resulting in a rather strange situation in Moxi: the city was defeated outside the Guan, and the people were scattered, but the Moxi army in the Guanxi was assembled, but there was almost no big loss.
But these are not so serious for the Northwest Army, at least they won the battle, even if it was a pyrrhic victory! )
