340: Dawn of Enlightenment
Betty finally decided to personally lead the whole army to the rescue of Mia Harbor, after all, they could not afford to sit back and watch most of the army be slaughtered in front of their eyes.
However, the assembly and dispatch of more than 10,000 people was not an immediate task, and although Betty had done her best and the HRE army remained in combat form, by the time they lined up and left the hill where they were stationed, and advanced to the outskirts of Mia Harbor, it was already almost an hour later. In this nearly an hour, the enemy's attack power and the speed of the collapse of the HRE army were beyond Betty's imagination, and the entire Mia Harbor seemed to be surrounded by sky-high flames, and there were earth-shattering shouts and screams everywhere!
The support army led by Betty contained nearly a thousand deserters along the way, all of them lost their armor and were wounded, and they fell into extreme fear, as if they had just escaped from hell, and the appearance of being covered in blood and even broken hands and feet was simply miserable.
At this time, the sun had already risen, and seeing such a fiasco, Betty did not dare to continue adventurously. He ordered the army to halt its advance for the time being, and to assemble on the outskirts of Mia Harbor, while at the same time immediately summoned a few junior officers who were still calm to inquire about the situation.
"What the hell is going on, didn't I order you to be sure to be ready for battle?!, a total of 35,000 men, well-equipped, well-armed, with plenty of ammunition, and covered by the mage's regiment, why did you defeat so quickly!"
The marshal asked sharply with a glare. The army of 35,000 was reduced to nothing in just one hour, and he simply hated iron and steel!
Several of the junior officers bowed their heads in shame. "We had been very vigilant all the time, but when it was almost dawn, the soldiers slackened. Coupled with the fatigue of the past few days, many people really can't help but fall asleep, and when the enemy suddenly appears, it will be too late to gather and counterattack!"
"Bastards, you damn things!" Betty couldn't help but curse, and then asked, "Where the enemy is in ambush, how many people are in ambush, and why is the attack so powerful." Have you figured it out?"
The junior officers shook their heads one after another and said, "We don't understand either, they seem to have suddenly emerged from the ground! First, three black dragons appeared out of thin air. Everywhere we breathed fire and killed people, and when we finally reacted and took up a strong fortress to hold on, thousands of heavily armed enemy troops suddenly came out from behind. We couldn't resist the front and back attacks!"
Emerging from the ground...... Betty looked at the large stretch of sand that seemed to be soft in front of her. The enemy is likely to be lying in ambush under this, and the other party is too cunning to blame himself for not being able to anticipate this trick! He gritted his teeth and asked, "What is the situation in the harbor now, and is there anyone still holding out?"
The junior officers sighed: "If you had arrived twenty minutes earlier, Marshal, maybe there would have been a chance to turn defeat into victory." Now there was no resistance in the port for a long time, and everyone was frightened, either surrendering or desperately fleeing. When we escaped. The enemy is still searching for the remaining remnants of the army in the harbor, and it is estimated that it will not be long after. It's going to be completely wiped out......"
After listening to the words of the junior officers, Betty and several generals around her couldn't help but look at each other, and their hearts were extremely heavy. The garrison of Mia Harbor has been completely wiped out, and there is no point in continuing to rescue, but it is difficult to decide what to do next.
A tall and strong general gritted his teeth and shouted: "These enemies are really too despicable! Your Excellency Marshal, please give the order to attack immediately! We must avenge our dead brothers!"
Another general in white armor immediately objected, saying: "Now we have just suffered a great defeat, we have lost more than half of our troops, and the fighting spirit and physical fitness of the soldiers are at a low point. Coupled with the fact that the enemy's situation is unknown, it is probably not a good idea to choose to take the initiative to attack immediately under such conditions!"
The strong general retorted unconvinced: "We still have 15,000 troops, three times the number of the enemy! As long as everyone works together to fight to the death, it is not impossible to win!"
"But the enemy still has three black dragons to help!" The white-armored general said hurriedly: "We don't need to take risks at this time, since the enemy has ambushed heavy troops in Miya Harbor, then the direction of Black Dragon Town must be empty of defense! We should defend here with the remaining 15,000 men with all our might, and the enemy's only five troops will definitely not be able to defeat us." At the same time, he asked Prince Attila of the Golden Horde to immediately attack and take down the town of Black Dragon, and then send troops to help. When the time comes, the enemy will lose his base and will be flanked on both sides by our tens of thousands of troops, and he will definitely be defeated in the end!"
When the generals heard this, they all nodded in agreement. After all, if you take the initiative now, no one is sure of victory. But if you add the 50,000 troops of the Golden Horde, they still have an absolute advantage.
However, Betty shook her head, although he fell for the enemy, but after all, he was an experienced veteran, he had already vaguely felt very inappropriate before the war, and at this time, in the face of such a miserable white, he suddenly realized!
He glanced hatefully in the direction of Mia Harbor, and said in a deep voice to everyone: "Everyone, don't you still understand that you still want to rely on the Golden Horde to turn defeat into victory? What a joke! They have already betrayed, and the reason why we have lost so badly is completely the conspiracy of Attila and Illyria!!"
"What!?" the generals were stunned when they heard this.
Betty gritted her teeth and said: "Attila's 50,000-strong army is surrounding Black Dragon Town, how can the enemy still have the ability to ambush heavy troops here? How did they know that we were going to attack Mia Harbor and set up a trap in advance? The only analysis of this kind of unreasonableness is that Attila has long been in contact with the enemy, and it is precisely because he betrayed us that the enemy has the ability to make such an arrangement! From now on, not only can we not have the slightest hope for the Golden Horde, but we must also guard against them with all our might!"
One of the generals asked with a pale face, "But, aren't we going to lose in this way, and what should we do next......?"
