Chapter 158: Goodbye Suya
At this moment, the east of the mountain pass in the river valley corridor is a different scene. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On a hillside high in the pass, the camp of the Macedonian army was in ruins, with black smoke and blood everywhere!
The golden armor banner had already been pulled down by the Northwest Army, and at this moment, blood stains could be seen everywhere in the camp, traces left by sword battles, and muddy ground mixed with blood.
At this moment, a combat boot stepped on the ground, and then a slender woman slowly walked through the battlefield of last night surrounded by everyone behind her.
Su Ya was dressed in a military uniform, and a bright red cloak was draped behind her, and a complicated look flashed in her beautiful eyes at the moment. The corpses everywhere have been swept away, but in the fog of the early morning in the northwest, you can still smell a strong and pungent smell of blood!
She seemed to sigh, her eyes fell on an officer on the side, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Have you counted the casualties of the enemy and the number of our dead and wounded soldiers?"
"Yes, Lord Duke. The officer looked respectful and said in a deep voice: "In the first battle last night, our army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and about 2,000 soldiers were killed. A total of more than 4,500 enemy troops in Macedonia were annihilated, 1,820 were captured, and more than 40 wagons of armor and baggage were captured. ”
"Less than 2,000 prisoners? These Macedonians are very stubborn......
Su Ya frowned, she knew in her heart that if it was a normal battle, it would not be possible to have such a casualty ratio. Even if the soldiers in the golden armor are elite, it is difficult to fight to the end in such a casualty situation.
In last night's battle, the Northwest Army vented all the anger that had been deposited for a long time. In the face of these broken Macedonians, the Northwest Army had no mercy. Some generals did not accept surrender at all, and even privately ordered the captured soldiers to be executed! This also caused many Macedonians who had surrendered to try to resist again, but instead caused some riots.
The hatred of these guys with Macedonians has gone deep into the bones and melted into the blood. In the face of this lone army, most of the generals of the Northwest Army chose to use a tough and ruthless attitude, but in the face of all this, Su Ya did not say anything, and it can even be said that she maintained a tacit attitude.
Su Ya knew very well that these Macedonians had nothing to be pitied, and each of them had the blood of the Moxi soldiers and civilians on their hands. Most of the generals here are natives of the Northwest, slaughtering their compatriots on their own soil, and the Northwest military and civilians have no mercy for these Western invaders.
Su Ya is naturally not a kind of woman, she is now the commander of the Northwest Army, and she has not strictly ordered the Northwest Army's attitude towards prisoners of war. Because she knows very well that what the Northwest Army needs most at this moment is to vent the anger in her heart, and this battle is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
Most of the generals of the Northwest Army are clear about this point, and Su Ya's attitude has undoubtedly won the favor of many generals of the Northwest Army. After all, if Su Ya really investigates it, their various behaviors will definitely be punished, but this attitude makes them feel a little more good about this Duke of Casa.
Although it cost 2,000 men, it almost annihilated the more than 6,000 soldiers left behind by the Eighth Legion, which can almost be regarded as a brilliant result.
You must know that although the Northwest Army is a night attack, the opponent is the Macedonian Eighth Army after all! This is definitely a big victory! But what made Su Ya a little worried was that when they counted the results afterwards, they unexpectedly found that there was not a single cavalry killed in this golden armor!
It was clear that the infantry had been left behind, while Barcelus and his 2,000 cavalry had escaped by night!
This made Su Ya realize the fighter, although she didn't know why Barcelus was willing to leave these thousands of elite infantry legions.
But at this moment, he is extremely weak!
Barcellus, who had only 2,000 cavalry at his command, had the best chance of defeating him, and he must not be allowed to escape back to Sadland!
However, what made Su Ya a little regretful was that because of the desperate struggle of this broken army, they successfully bought valuable time for Barcelus.
Baseiles broke through at night, and they were all cavalry troops, and the speed must be extremely fast, and if he pursued it at this moment, he was afraid that it would be difficult to gain anything. However, Suya still sent a cavalry of 2,000 men to chase after him, and even if he couldn't catch up with Barcelus, he could use it as a vanguard to investigate the situation in the river valley.
At this time, a team of cavalry sentries in the distance rushed from afar, and the cavalry led by them quickly jumped off their horses, knelt down on the ground, and reported to Su Ya and Longke on the side:
"Report to Lord Duke, we were ordered by Commander Ronktor to probe the direction of the remnants of the Macedonians fleeing, but we encountered Lord Perry's troops dozens of miles away. Master Perry said that they had fought with the Macedonians this morning, but they didn't stop the Macedonians, and that they were rushing here at the moment, so let's rush back and report first!"
Su Ya was a little surprised when she heard this, but when she heard that Perry and Baseiles had fought each other, I am afraid that this will not be as simple as the sentinel said.
So she nodded, and after a few words, returned to the military tent. At noon, Ronctor really brought news: Perry's army had rushed back to the camp, and he brought back with him not only more than 2,000 cavalry of the Central Army, but also the remnants of the Northwest Army of more than 1,000 people.
Although Su Ya was a little surprised by this news, she immediately rushed to Perry's military tent, and sure enough, she saw Perry lying on the bed with a somewhat weak look.
The accompanying military doctor in the army had already diagnosed Perry's injuries, but looking at Perry's somewhat pale face, Su Ya couldn't help but cast a light-based healing spell to determine that Perry was indeed not seriously injured, but his body was very weak.
Su Ya couldn't help frowning, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Perry with some confusion and asked:
"How did this happen? I heard that you came across Baseileus's cavalry regiment, and you were wounded by fighting them?"
Perry saw that Su Ya's expression was a little anxious, and although there was some blame in his tone, he couldn't help but move in his heart. But after all, he was cold, he still shook his head, and said calmly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my strength is a little lost, and I didn't stop Barcellus after all, but I was careless." ”
Although Su Ya listened to his calm tone, she obviously didn't want to say anything between the words, and when she was a little surprised, Perry whispered:
"After I broke through to the valley, I met the remnants of a Northwest Army, which looked like a garrison in the Northwest, and there I learned about the situation in the valley, and one of them was a guy we all knew......"
When Su Ya heard this, she was looking at Perry with some doubts, but seeing that his expression was a little complicated, she suddenly couldn't help but feel a thrill in her heart, and asked with some surprise: "The guy you are talking about, isn't it...... Joseph?"
"Not bad!"
Before Perry could reply, a voice came from outside the tent. Immediately afterwards, a tall and thin young man opened the tent, seemingly not caring about Su Ya's somewhat surprised look, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a bright smile: "Long time no see, Su Ya ......"
