Chapter 691: An Unsatisfactory Victory

PS: Ask for a monthly pass, an annual pass, quack!

Sweet felt the chaos behind him, looked back, and saw Vaughn and another wing captain with all the soldiers of the headquarters coming to line up behind him, Sweet was very anxious, but seeing that the enemy army was not far away, even if it was too late for everyone to retreat now, he simply laughed and said loudly to the soldiers and officers under him: "Since this is already the case, okay, then let's all meet our last stop together, let the enemy see that the men of our eternal empire are not bad seeds, rush!" With that, Sweet swung his sword and urged his horse to meet the enemy who was rushing hundreds of meters away, and the soldiers behind him also raised their spears and swords, roaring angrily, and rushed to death with anger and reluctance.

As the sky darkened, the crescent moon crept into the night sky, and in the light of a fire, Ryan, Fuller, Wolfhead, and Ted, who had just arrived, stood on the battlefield just now, looking at the corpses and broken flags on the ground.

In the first battle that had no suspense just now, although the enemy army was exhausted, but in the face of death, they showed the courage and dignity of the soldiers, especially the regiment that was the first to start a counterattack, and they defended their pride with their lives and blood. And the funny thing is that the commanders who were indignant just now said that they were going to fight to the death are now alive and well, because they shamelessly chose to flee when facing the iron hooves of the seashore, and they did not resist when they were caught up by the wolf head and Fuller, but dropped their military flags and weapons and surrendered.

Danny, Obuki, and Carl walked around the large corpses to Ryan and asked what to do with the captives, who thought for a moment and said, "Let Clath bring those fullers from the border over and take care of them on the spot." ”

Danny was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you take it to the Shenlong Pass, aren't there a lot of captives over there?"

Ryan shook his head and said, "Chris has sent news that the Eternal Empire has sent 20,000 troops to the Shenlong Pass, and the captives there will also be transported here in the near future. Danny, let the logistics troops send more people over, build a prisoner of war camp on the spot, and then you take 5,000 cavalry to stay behind to keep watch. ”

Danny said with a bitter face, "Uncle." I want to go to war. ”

Ryan said with a straight face, "This is an order. Danny saluted and left with a sad face as he sneered at Dafu and Carl.

Ryan looked at the gloating blow and said, "Have you counted the battle damage?"

Big Blow took out a report from the ring and handed it to Ryan and said, "The preliminary statistics are out. ”

Ryan took it, shook his head and sighed, "The training time is still not enough." ”

Fuller asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Ryan handed the statistics to Fuller, who took it and looked at it, frowning as well. In this battle, Ryan led 10,000 cavalry against nearly 20,000 remnants of the Eternal Empire, and when the enemy army had no defense, no physical strength, and no morale, Ryan's 10,000 cavalry damaged nearly 2,000 people, which made everyone very dissatisfied. Ryan felt that if he led 10,000 cavalry that had been trained for two years. There will be a maximum of 500 battle losses, and there will definitely be no sacrifice of two wings like today.

At about the same time, Wang Yong, who was in the Shenlong Pass, also got the battle damage report, but this heavy report made the atmosphere very depressing. In the command headquarters, Wang Yong, Mu Sen, Chris, Iron Mask, Shadow Dance, Qingling, Amy and Quentin, who came back to help treat the wounded, and Elder Ryan of the Minotaur were also able to call over, and everyone sat quietly, silently listening to the report of the logistics officer.

In this battle of Shenlong Pass, the seaside invested a total of 5,000 archers and arrows. A field regiment of 5,000 men, a hoplite regiment of 10,000 men, plus ballistas, trebuchets, logistics troops, and medical troops, added up to more than 22,000 men. Post-war statistics. The 1st Field (Light Infantry) Regiment died in the battle of the eighth floor, and there were about 1,000 people who survived, and the Archery Regiment was okay because it was a long-range unit. Moreover, the enemy army never broke through the defensive line, and more than 100 people who died were also killed by the enemy's crossbow arrows. So there were only a few casualties, and the ministries were fully organized.

The heaviest losses were the Yongzhan Corps composed of Minotaur hoplites, with a strength of 10,000 men, and less than 3,000 survived after the war, most of the veterans and officers were almost all killed, and the rest were almost all recruits.

If the commander of the enemy army, Newman, had not been killed in battle, and the enemy army had not collapsed, I really don't know if the remaining troops could have blocked the enemy's frantic attack.

In this battle, a lot of materials were also consumed on the seashore, and the crossbow arrows and feather arrows were basically consumed, because of overuse, six ballistae were scrapped, almost all the trebuchets were scrapped, and the weapons and equipment were damaged countless times.

Wang Yong took a pierced plate armor and looked at it, then put it into the ring, and said with a faint smile: "This result is much better than expected before the war, don't be discouraged, cheer up, clean up the battlefield, deploy troops, and prepare for the next battle." ”

Amy whispered in confusion, "Aren't we already victorious? Why do we still have to fight?"

Wang Yong smiled slightly and said, "The 20,000 troops of the Eternal Empire have already arrived at the Hengshan Gorge a hundred miles east of the Pass, counting the clearing of obstacles, they will be able to reach the Shenlong Pass in five days at most." Amy frowned and didn't say anything more.

Wang Yong stood up, bowed to the Minotaur Elder Ryan and said, "I'm sorry, it's my lord's responsibility to sacrifice most of the Minotaur warriors you found before they came to the seashore before they could live a good life. ”

Elder Lai An stood up and hugged Wang Yong, smiled and said, "You said that they are warriors, and warriors should die on the battlefield, that is their fate. Boss, you can rest assured, although we minotaurs are stupid but not stupid, we know that we are good, boss, you give us work and give me freedom, none of our minotaurs are not grateful to you, these sacrificed children are equally grateful to you, but they go to the battlefield not only to thank you, because they are also their home. ”

Ryan patted his chest and said, "Boss, don't worry, I have contacted a lot of Minotaur tribes, and they are all willing to settle on the seashore, and they are already on their way." We minotaurs are born warriors, and even if we have no training, we can still go to war. With us minotaurs, we won't miss here, so I'll go back and bring all the people here. ”

Wang Yong grabbed Elder Lai An and said gratefully: "No need, let everyone go back, I haven't paid attention to that little person in the Eternal Empire, you go back to rest first, and go back to Asphalt Hu for a meeting tomorrow." (To be continued......)
