(Second Update Delivered ~)
The 377th chapter "What a cocky person!"
After carefully looking around for a while, Du-Wei simply used the torch to burn all the corpses on the ground. Then he took out some magic potions and threw them into the fire. Suddenly, a green flame appeared and burned the remains of the corpses to the point where not even a speck of dust was left.
After erasing all traces of footprints, Du Wei used an invisibility spell to bring Cybuster back to where he came from.
At this moment on the battlefield, both sides no longer have the help of magicians. It has become a battle of attrition. But the capital's city guards are worthy of being called the elites of the empire. The morale of the Northwestern Army has plummeted again and again.
Now that the gates have been breached, the Northwestern Army's commanding officer roared and even killed some of the cowardly soldiers on the spot. But that didn't inspire the morale of the soldiers. As soon as the first group of soldiers charged in, they immediately formed a circle around the gates. Not long after, a steady stream of soldiers from the capital's Defense Force began to rush in. The Northwestern Army was unable to plug the gap, and the gap was still rapidly expanding.
Guhua Duoluo fought with his life on the line. He even personally rushed to the front line, leading a group of his most loyal personal guards in an attempt to seize back the camp gate. However, even though he fought with his life on the line, most of the soldiers under him kept retreating.
At this time, the city guards also sensed an opportunity and immediately passed down an order. Thousands of city guards shouted at the top of their lungs: "Surrender and you'll be spared!! Surrender and you'll be spared!!! "
Their voices were in unison and clearly spread throughout the battlefield. When the already dispirited Northwestern Army heard this, how could they still have the will to fight? Immediately, hundreds of people dropped their weapons and kneeled on the ground with their hands on their heads.
Guardo was annoyed at this sight. Rushing to a kneeling soldier, he roared: "Get up, anyone who dares to surrender will be executed!!"
Saying so, he raised his sword and chopped off the soldier's head. Then, he proceeded to cut down three to five other Northwestern Army soldiers who surrendered. But at this time, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer resist the momentum of surrendering.
Seeing Guardo's crazed appearance, many of the surrendered Northwestern Army soldiers were scared to the point of running away. Some even picked up their weapons and pointed them at their former commander.
Several of Guhua Duoluo's personal guards saw that the situation was hopeless and hurriedly rushed over. They grabbed Guhua Duoluo and dragged him to the back.
At this time, the city guards rushed into the Northwestern Army camp. While the Northwestern Army soldiers at the front line surrendered, there were still some who resisted at the back. Guardo was dragged all the way to the barracks by his personal guards. When they arrived at the back of the barracks, one of the personal guards had already brought a war horse over. Then, the few of them knelt down at the same time and begged bitterly, "General! We've already lost our advantage. Please leave quickly. We still have a chance now. Any later and it'll be too late! "
Guardo boldly said: "Don't say anymore. I was entrusted by the general. I can only repay him with my life. I will not leave! If I have to die, then I will die here! "
However, a few of his personal guards knelt on the ground and hugged his legs, preventing him from rushing forward. They dragged him with all their might, wanting him to get on the horse. Although Gu Hua Duo appreciated the loyalty of his personal guards, his heart hardened. "Don't say anymore! If you are a man, then come with me and kill a few more enemies! "
Several of the personal guards suddenly hardened their hearts and swarmed forward to snatch Guhua Duo's sword. One of them had already circled behind Guhua Duo. Raising the hilt of his sword, he viciously smashed it into the back of Guhua Duo's head. Guhua Duo grunted and turned to look at the personal guard before fainting. The guard carried Guardo onto the horse and tied him to the back: "I will find a way to bring His Excellency out of here. Brothers, we will meet again in the next life!"
With that, the guard leaped onto the horse and galloped towards the back of the camp.
At this moment, the Northwestern Army has completely collapsed. The capital's city guards have already rushed into the camp, killing the Northwestern Army in all directions. More and more Northwestern Army soldiers saw that there was no hope left, so they threw down their weapons and kneeled down to surrender.
Looking at each other, the guards shouted: "Brothers, it's time to pledge your loyalty to His Excellency!"
With that, the guards picked up their swords and roared. At the same time, they rushed towards the large group of capital's city guards … …
•
At this time, outside the Northwestern Army's camp, the cavalry of the Tempest Legion has already rushed over. But when the cavalry commander arrived at the front gate, he almost died from anger.
"These bastards of the Imperial Guards, what the hell are they fighting?!"
The Tempest Legion's anger is justified.
It's reasonable to say that the capital's city guards are infantry. They are responsible for opening up a gap in the enemy's camp and then letting the Tempest Legion's cavalry charge in. As long as a large number of cavalry charges in, it's enough to completely crush the enemy.
But the capital's city guards' general seems determined to steal the credit. Not waiting for the Tempest Legion's cavalry to charge in, he waved his hand and had his own infantry charge into the camp.
As a result, although the capital's city guards are pushing the Northwestern Army back one wave after another, they still managed to block the entrance of the camp. The Tempest Legion's cavalry outside can only watch helplessly. This angered the cavalry commander so much that he roared and had his men blow the horn again and again.
At this time, the capital's city guards' general seems to have gone deaf. Ignoring all of this, he kept urging his men to charge in and let the cavalry run around outside. This is clearly an act of stealing the credit. Thinking back to this guy in the morning when Governor Bohan's army was defeated, he didn't send any reinforcements, and now he's purposely blocking the entrance of the camp to steal the credit for himself … …
From afar, Andre was riding on his horse and could clearly see the situation on the battlefield. He was so angry that he suddenly grabbed his helmet and smashed it on the ground. He scolded, "Bastard Imperial Guards! Fuck! What kind of bullshit is this?! I will sue you! I will sue you for violating military orders! I will sue you for delaying a military mission!! I will sue you until you go bankrupt!!! "
Seeing his general so angry, his deputy couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. But then he heard Andre scolding: "Send someone up and tell Leon if he's an idiot or not! They're blocking the entrance, can't you attack from the side?!!! "
The cavalry commander, Ryan, who was leading the charge, heard the order and couldn't help but curse in his heart. Attack from the side?! Can't you see the trench?!
But he didn't dare to disobey his general's order. Seeing the capital's city guards rushing into the Northwest Army's camp like a tidal wave, he knew that if he hesitated any longer, there wouldn't even be soup left to drink. Thus, he could only lead his men to the flank and order the cavalry in front to take off their helmets and throw them into the trench.
The helmets of several hundred cavalrymen filled up a section of the moat. Finally, someone managed to charge in and cut down the fences. But in the chaos, seventy to eighty cavalrymen from the Tempest Legion were killed by arrows. Fortunately, the Northwest Army was also in a mess inside, so they weren't able to cause any more damage to the Tempest Legion.
The cavalry commander of the Tempest Legion was furious. This kind of trench filling work should be done by the infantry! How can the precious cavalry do such a thing? It's simply a waste of their lives!!
Finally, after leaving behind dozens of corpses, the cavalry of the Tempest Legion also rushed into the Northwest Army's camp and ruthlessly stabbed in from the side.
At this point, the last hope of the Northwest Army has been completely destroyed!
•
The battle cries continued until the sun was about to set. Only then did they stop intermittently. A large number of Northwest Army soldiers finally put down their weapons and kneeled on the ground to surrender. And at this time, another thing happened on the battlefield …. Some of the capital's city guards actually went berserk and rushed in. They didn't even let the surrendered Northwest Army soldiers go. Seeing them kneeling on the ground, they still rushed in and chopped off their heads with their swords.
Such a crazy move, in turn, ignited the last fighting spirit of the Northwest Army. Fuck! Kill those who surrender? Since surrendering is also death, then they might as well fight it out!!
As a result, this incident caused a small commotion on the battlefield. Fortunately, the cavalry of the Tempest Legion was able to break through this wave of resistance and prevent the Northwest Army from regrouping.
But this incident caused a huge uproar after the war!
•
When the sun went down, the battle was completely over. In the Northwest Army's camp, there were no more sounds of killing. Group after group of surrendered soldiers threw away their weapons, took off their armor, and walked out of the camp with their hands covering their heads. They lined up in a line and lined up in the wilderness. Surrounding them were the cavalry of the Tempest Legion.
This was because the surrendered soldiers expressed that they didn't trust the capital's city guards. The capital's city guards even killed prisoners of war. Such a move caused them to panic, so they expressed their willingness to only surrender to the Tempest Legion.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Storm Legion, the Royal City Guards were just a bunch of bastards who were trying to steal the credit. After rushing into the camp, the first thing the capital's city guards did was to occupy the Northwest Army's ordnance logistics camp. Then they split off into several groups to chop off heads.
If it weren't for them, the battle would've ended two hours earlier.
But after the battle, the capital's city guards didn't even clean up the battlefield. Bohan's men were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and moving the corpses. The capital's city guards, on the other hand, carried the chopped off heads and retreated without a care. Not only that, they also openly emptied the Northwest Army's logistics camp of their "seized" weapons!
Carts after carts of military supplies were all moved to the main camp of the Royal City Guards. When General Andre and Governor Bohan heard the news, it was already too late. Both of them were furious.
On the battlefield, out of the nearly 50,000 Northwest Army soldiers, nearly 18,000 died while the rest surrendered.
General Andre of the Tempest Legion had already sent a letter to the Royal City Guards' camp, severely criticizing the actions of the Royal City Guards' commander. Governor Bohan was also dissatisfied. Afterwards, the two left their men to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties. Then they went to the capital to see Du Wei.
After all, in terms of rank, Du Wei's position is the highest. Both of them are counting on Du Wei to uphold justice for them.
During the battle, Du Wei ran out to chase after Cybuster. By the time he came back, the battle was already nearing its end. Du Wei quietly locked Cybuster up in his room inside the city before going back up the wall to watch the battle. Under his command, he ordered nearly 20,000 new recruits to go up the wall to watch the battle.
Watching such a bitter and intense battle at such a close distance allowed these recruits to truly feel the cruelty and bloodiness of war, allowing them to experience the atmosphere of war.
Of course, Du Wei also saw the actions of the capital's city guards. He also had some complaints in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Later, General Andre and Governor Bohan came to the capital to see Du Wei. In front of Du Wei, Governor Bohan restrained himself. After all, he's a civil official, so his words have a sense of propriety. He only vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction.
Andre, on the other hand, didn't care about these things. As a general, his temperament is straightforward and straightforward. In front of Du Wei, he recounted today's events and even mixed in some Northerners' vulgarities. In the end, he shouted: "….. Duke, I've never seen a battle like this in my life! The battle plan we discussed beforehand, he completely ignored it! He only knows how to rush up and steal the credit! Fuck, how can he fight like this? The infantry rushed to the front and purposely blocked the gate, not letting my cavalry in!! I sent people to rush him, but he ignored me!! In the end, the Northwest Army surrendered, but his men still killed the captives! As a result, the surrendered Northwest Army picked up their weapons and resisted again, causing us to lose a lot of people for nothing! Where the hell did this bastard come from?! I'm going to sue him!! I'm going to sue him to death!!! "
Du Wei sighed and comforted the two with a few words: "How about this, the two of you don't need to be in such a hurry. The one in charge of the capital's city guards is General Du Wei. I'm sure he'll come to the capital later, let's talk about it when the time comes."
But even after waiting for a while, the sky is already completely dark, General Du Wei still hasn't come to the capital to see Du Wei!
Logically speaking, Du Wei is the highest ranking person in this war, and he's also the landlord here. So no matter what, the general of the capital's city guards should come to the capital to see Du Wei. But in the end, the three waited until the sky turned dark, only to receive a letter from the capital's city guards.
It's an official document. Duwei opened it and read it, and his face sank.
In this document, there wasn't the slightest bit of politeness. Instead, it only used a business-like tone to report the "results" of this battle to the highest ranking officer in the army.
"Your Excellency Duke Tulip, the results of this battle are as follows. Our main force lost 3,622 soldiers and 1,400 wounded. Sixteen thousand and four hundred enemies were killed, and countless captives were captured. Captured enemy supplies, more than 7,000 standard swords, more than 4,000 armor and shields, as well as countless provisions … … "
When Duwei saw this, Andre, who was reading the document together with him, scolded, "This bastard! Killed more than 16,000? Motherfucker!! At least half of the enemies were killed by my men! My men told me that these guards are extremely despicable. On the battlefield, I saw many of them deliberately pull up the bodies of our cavalry and behead them! I knew they were here to claim the credit!! Hahaha! His men alone can cut down 16,000 soldiers of the Northwest Army! What a joke!! There's also the captured enemy supplies! Did they capture those things?! It's obvious that their battle had just ended and they took advantage of the fact that our men were not able to react. First, they emptied the Northwest Army's camp!! "
Du Wei's face also turned ugly. The last few sentences of the document completely angered Du Wei!
"… … The number of casualties has been reported. Duke Tulip, please report the compensation. In addition, the provisions in the main camp, please replenish them for half a month. "
Still want food from me?
Du Wei sneered twice and then put the letter on the table.
He did not burst into fury. Taking a deep breath, he summoned his personal guards and said casually, "Send someone out of the city to meet General Alpai in the camp of the royal guards. Tell him that I 'invited' him to the city for a discussion."
When Du Wei said the word "invited", he deliberately emphasized it with a gloomy smile on his face. Governor Bohan, who had dealt with Du Wei a lot in the Northwest, saw the smile on Du Wei's face and knew that the Duke of the Tulip Family was really angry.
Du Wei turned around and sat down on the chair. His face may look calm, but in his heart, he was thinking … … This General Alpai, just who is he to be so arrogant!
