Although the Macedonians had withdrawn, they left a mess for Yarok and others. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the battle, the first thing the garrison in the city did was to count the casualties. In the first wave of the Macedonians' attack, they had already invested nearly 8,000 troops, but because the town of Boulder was so small, only about half of the Macedonian army could actually engage the garrison at the head of the city, that is, about 4,000 men.

The total number of garrisons in Boulder Town is more than 1,500 people, after all, although the garrison gate is important, it is impossible to put all the troops on this, so this 1,500 people is also the limit that Alok can come up with.

The results of the post-war statistics were: the garrison suffered about 800 casualties, most of them wounded, and three or four hundred soldiers were killed or seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness.

As for the enemy troops, a search inside and outside the city found almost a thousand corpses, but the number of wounded soldiers is unknown. However, according to Gould's estimates, the number of wounded in Macedonia was at least two thousand!

Three hundred to one thousand, this ratio looks very exciting, but after learning this data, the corners of Jose's eyes couldn't help but jump fiercely!

After all, the defenders in the city still had the advantage of defending the city, so they used bows and arrows to kill and wound many Macedonians. Moreover, the gate of the megalith town is not large, and the Macedonians cannot devote all their forces to attacking the city, which is also a very important reason.

But now it seems that although the enemy army has lost more than 1,000 people, it can still raise an army of four or five thousand men at any time. On the other hand, on his side, when he faces the Macedonian army again, I am afraid that he can only draw more than 1,000 people to defend the city at most. After all, after the war, whether it is repairing the city defenses, collecting and healing wounded soldiers, or even replenishing supplies and weapons, manpower is needed!

Although they gnawed away a thousand of the other party, the proportion of the number of people fell from a quarter of the other party to only one-fifth of the other party! There is one more thing that Jose does not want to think about...... According to his own and Yarok's guesses, it is likely that the remaining thousands of Macedonians are a more elite force than the soldiers besieging the city today!

Looking at the busy soldiers in the city, José felt a heaviness in his heart, and in his distraughtness, his eyes couldn't help but turn to the opposite hill - it was a few Macedonian camps!

............

That night, the atmosphere in Boulder Town was a little delicate, and the senior officers were called to the temporary military office for an emergency meeting, and everyone was a little nervous. However, the morale of the soldiers at the bottom was quite high, after all, they had a small victory today.

Especially at the last moment, the powerful power displayed by the mysterious magician, this ability to call the wind and rain like a god to master thunder and lightning, made these ordinary soldiers amazed:

The goddess is above, and this is a scene that can only appear in the myths of bards!

With such a powerful magician in charge, the soldiers' hearts naturally had more confidence, and even some of the soldiers in the personal guard team couldn't help but have a little more awe in their eyes when they looked at Jose.

However, at the moment, the atmosphere in the temporary military affairs office of the garrison army is not so relaxed. Only a few generals, such as Alok and Gould, knew that the current situation was not optimistic. It can even be said that after this battle, although they repelled the enemy army, they also deeply felt the severity of the situation!

"The biggest problem is the strength!" Alok said in a deep voice with a serious face. "In this siege, our garrison lost about 300 men, which means that we can only dispatch more than 1,000 troops, and based on the losses of the Macedonians, they should not launch any large-scale attacks in the next two days, but the situation is still very serious...... The lack of troops is the biggest problem. ”

"The garrison of the police station can be withdrawn, and in addition, young men can be recruited from the city to form a temporary militia, which is responsible for logistics and repairs to the city gates. It doesn't take much, only a few hundred people need to be recruited, and it is enough to concentrate all the mobilized soldiers to defend the city!"

The fat man also expressed his opinion, and the fellow had a bandage around his left arm, which he had been stabbed by the enemy's spear this morning while defending the city.

However, the fat man doesn't seem to be in a big deal at the moment, and he is still full of energy when he speaks, after all, he has rough skin and thick flesh, and this kind of flesh injury that does not hurt his muscles and bones must not have much effect on him.

"Well, that's a do, Gould, and I'll leave it to you to recruit the militia. If no one responds, you can forcibly solicit it, but be careful not to cause any trouble!"

The fat man touched his round belly and grinned, "Don't worry, this matter is left to me." Now the common people in the city also know that we are there to resist the Macedonian army. We're at least not going to burn and loot here, but if the Macedonians enter the city......? Even if we don't say it, they understand it.

Moreover, after we repelled the Macedonians today, many citizens of the city sent me some supplies, and I guess these guys don't want us to be defeated!

Speaking of this battle, Mr. Chasé, you have done a great job, and now the soldiers and civilians of the city know that we have a powerful magician in charge, and I see that maybe the Macedonian generals will know the news and be so frightened that they will withdraw their troops......"

When the fat man said this, he deliberately looked at Joseph and asked a little strangely: "By the way, Mr. Magician, why don't you speak, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

When Alok heard this, he also turned his head to look at Joseph, nodded and said, "Gould is right, Mr. Joseph, you can speak up if you have any opinions." ”

This impromptu meeting Yarok specially called Jose aside to listen, and today's analysis of Joseph made his eyes shine, and he decided that this magician did have some military talent. In addition, the scene of him repelling the Macedonians today was indeed shocking, and most of the soldiers and officers in the city were in awe.

All this has made this newcomer a magician whose status has risen dramatically, and although it is not as prestigious as Alok and Gould, it can be regarded as a prominent figure in the city. Such a meeting is naturally indispensable for his participation.

Joseph had been silent just now, and after listening to Allocke's words, he said with a smile:

"What you say is very reasonable, I certainly don't know as much about the war as you veterans, but I always feel that our approach doesn't seem to be the best, and you don't feel a little negative, or even a little ...... Short-sighted!"

When Aloch and Gould heard this, their brows furrowed, but neither of them hastily interrupted Joseph's words, but only looked at him with some confusion.

Jose looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is to transfer troops or stick to the city defense, I always feel that it is not the best choice. The simple result is that the Macedonians will attack the city again and again, and then we will exhaust all our forces, and finally they will break the city...... It sounds disheartening, but I'm afraid it's not hard for you to guess the result, right?"

Aloch and Gould's faces were suddenly a little unnatural, and the fat man was even a little silent, but he still spoke:

"What you said, we naturally took it into account, but the current situation...... Damn, to be honest, I don't know what to do anymore, I can't hold on to it, I can't let us abandon the city!"

Alok groaned for a moment, but gritted his teeth: "If you really can't hold it, I'm afraid, it's the only way to do it......"

Gould was stunned for a moment, the horizontal flesh on his face shook violently, and the fat man's emotions exploded at once:

"Abandon the city? Damn, Aloke, you really dare to say it! You, as the commander of the garrison of a city, actually said such a thing! Lao Tzu just saw that you were a man, so he came here to follow you, and today you actually said that you want to abandon the city...... Damn, you can leave if you want to go, I won't go!"

Gould's face was flushed, and he stepped aside, scolding, and sat down in his seat as if angry, his face twisted to the side.

Yaroo's expression was a little bitter, and he also knew the temperament of this fat man, so he could only shake his head helplessly, but his expression couldn't help but be a little dazed.

"Actually, we don't necessarily get to this point. At this time, Joseph suddenly said: "Have you ever thought that it is better to ...... than to defend the city so passively?"

"How about it?!"

Although the fat man had his back to them, but at this moment, when he heard Jose say that things had taken a turn for the better, a spirit suddenly jumped up and asked a little nervously.

A gleam and eagerness flashed in Jose's eyes:

"It's better to ...... Bet on it!" (To be continued.) )
