Heart of Empire Chapter 390: Borrow troops
Galvin and Anders' army was also in chaos. Dane's plan to drive out the rout and attack the enemy's formation, with the cooperation of Governor Oze, obviously achieved great success!
Actually, if either of the two of them can rush to the army before it collapses, it may still be possible to restore the situation. ???
As the chief generals in the army, the two of them have quite enough prestige. If they came forward to scold them, the rout soldiers might be stopped and routed.
Even if this cannot be done, with the hearts of the two of them, if they can issue some more decisive orders, for example, when the rout of troops is attacking their own phalanx formation, decisively order the troops still in command Directly killing any disobedient routs and resolutely blocking the routs out of the formation may not be able to turn the tide, but at least it can prevent the army from collapsing so quickly.
But who made the two of them not be there when they were being entangled by Ou Ze?
Now, the northern group army can really be regarded as the end of the day. The impact of the rout of Hackett's troops on the entire Northern Army was simply devastating. The rear is unstable, and Ou Ze's main army is fighting back frantically in front. How can the Northern Army be able to turn defeat into victory?
This war started in the afternoon, and when the overall situation was settled, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. However, the flames of war did not stop. The northern group army, which was completely defeated, ran across the wasteland, while Dane and Oze's main army were chasing after them.
A battle is not just about defeating the opponent. If it is not possible to effectively expand the results of the battle, annihilate as many enemies as possible, and completely beat the opponent's army to the point where it is impossible to regroup, with the quality of the Northern Army, they may still be able to regroup later.
The chase lasted for a whole day. Even after dark, Dane and Ou Ze's troops didn't stop. They didn't give up until the noon of the next day when the actual battle report came out.
The result is quite reliable. The main force of the Northern Group Army was almost 40,000 people, and it had been completely defeated. The troops that were wiped out looked like more than 30,000 people. Among them, the actual number of casualties in the war is not particularly large. It is estimated that about 10,000 people were killed, and most of the other 20,000 battle results were lost after the entire army collapsed.
Among the more than 20,000 people captured during the pursuit, the number of those who were killed on the spot is actually not too many. They look like thousands of people, and there are at least 13,000 soldiers of the Northern Army left. , surrendered his weapons, took off his armor, and became a prisoner in a prisoner-of-war camp.
In addition, there were six or seven thousand troops, but they were not killed or captured, but escaped the joint pursuit of Ou Ze and Dane. But the reason why they were able to escape was mainly because they ran fast and slipped farther away while the other troops were being cleared away, and the reason why they escaped was more scattered, maybe a few or a dozen people formed a small group. The small ones are more difficult to chase, and there is no point in chasing them. Ou Ze and Dane don't bother to pay attention to these soldiers.
The three senior generals of the Northern Army, Hackett was killed by Dane in the army formation. As for the other two, when they felt that the general situation was over, they were unwilling to continue fighting in a corner, and gave up their desperate struggle with Ou Ze, choosing to run away with their own bodyguards.
In the pursuit, Anders was unfortunately chased up, and his head was strung on the tip of Oze's sword.
As for Galvin, he escaped successfully. However, although he successfully ran away, it was meaningless to the general situation. After more than a day of chasing, the remnants of the Northern Army did not know how scattered it was, and it was difficult for him to reorganize the troops. Even if he could, it didn't make much sense. The troops he could sort out were only a few thousand, which didn't help.
On December 25th, Ou Ze and Dane, who had rested for a day after stopping the pursuit, led the army and escorted 13,000 captives into the Ice Cave City.
The prisons and dungeons of Ice Cave City have been requisitioned and filled with captives.
But how big can a city's dungeon be? There is simply no room for so many people! In the end, they even had to vacate many public buildings and private houses for detaining these prisoners.
When the officers and soldiers under him were busy with these tasks, Dane found Ou Ze.
"I want to borrow troops." Dane said straight to the point.
"Okay." Ou Ze also agreed in one breath. His expression now is very relaxed, with some curiosity.
Before, when Dane forced him to start a decisive battle with the Northern Army, he was reluctant. He feels the risk is high.
But now that they have won the battle, of course they don't have any concerns about this. Moreover, after the Northern Army was annihilated, for Ou Ze, he solved a serious problem in his heart, and he would feel better, which was natural.
He had no intention of kicking Dane away. After a real observation that seeing is believing, he quite recognized the combat strength of Dane's army, and also recognized Dane as an ally.
Oze didn't have a particularly big ambition. He didn't have the idea of killing Conley and then killing Dane to monopolize Schindler. He is already a bit old, and he has no children, let alone a family, what good is it to monopolize Schindler? The reason why he beat Conley was to avenge Bernier, his best friend. Now, although the Northern Army Group has been wiped out, Kang Li is not dead yet.
What's more, ~IndoMTL.com~ they signed an agreement before. After defeating the Northern Army Group, he will lend part of the army to Dane to deal with the demon army that Conley went south.
This agreement is not an ordinary black and white agreement, but a contract that is communicated with the blood of both parties and the power of magic. If it is violated, big things will happen.
In this way, there is no psychological difficulty for Ou Ze to borrow soldiers. Even when Dane said later that he would not only borrow his soldiers, but also himself, so that they could fight Kangli to the death together, he did not refuse. He also wanted to kill that **** Conley with his own hands.
However, he was a little curious. According to the latest information from the south, Kangli's army of demons has breached Shawan Harbor.
This is already two days ago, on the 22nd. As soon as Shawan Harbor was broken, the entire south of Schindler basically declared that the whole territory had been poisoned by Conley, and there was no other place except for a lonely White Wolf Castle.
Also, maybe, after these two days have passed, the current White Wolf Castle may have been breached.
But Dane's anxious look, why does it look like he wants to lead his troops back as soon as possible to save his territory from danger? Including before, when Dane was eager to start a decisive battle with the Northern Army, it was the same.
From Ice Cave City to White Wolf Castle in the south, there is a distance of several hundred kilometers. It will take at least half a month to go back. How long could it last under the onslaught of Governor Li's demon army?
This is what Ou Ze has been unclear about and is also very curious about.
