Chapter 281 This war cannot continue...

"Why haven't the people from the Third Infantry Regiment arrived yet? Send someone to rush them immediately!"

Leo said angrily while bandaging the wounds on his body.

He glanced from the air to the bottom and saw countless corpses of his own race lying on the ground forever on the battlefield.

The blood dyed the earth red, and countless broken limbs were scattered all over the ground.

Two thousand legion guards were all killed.

Five thousand elven warriors, not even one out of ten...

The Griffin Knights lost more than half...

More than half of a thousand sharp crossbowmen were lost...

More than half of the two thousand elven archers were lost...

"Come die!"

At the same time, a vine instantly attacked the griffon under Leo's seat. If he didn't pay attention, his feet were tied and he was dragged down at a terrifying speed.

Zhou Tai, who was on the side, shouted loudly when he saw this, rushed over with a steel spear, and first stabbed the griffon through the heart with one blow.

Leo was forced to roll off the gryphon.

"Pfft!"

The steel gun entered his chest in the blink of an eye, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

His only thought before he died was that he hated the commander of the Third Infantry Corps.

If it hadn't been for him, this battle wouldn't have been so heroic!

If the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Third Infantry Corps can join the battlefield, the enemy will definitely lose 70% to 80% of its troops!

He is unwilling...

His consciousness gradually darkened, Leo's eyes glared, and he refused to rest in peace.

With the death of this temporary commander, the enemy's morale gradually collapsed.

Zhou Tai led the remaining troops to pursue decisively and expand the victory.

Once again, more than a thousand enemy troops were captured.

Two white-winged monitor lizards kept spraying blazing fire in the air.

Wherever the fire struck, the enemy troops retreated and suffered heavy casualties.

On the battlefield, the remaining enemy troops began to retreat back.

There were more than 10,000 enemy troops left in the military camp. The commander of the Third Infantry Regiment saw the enemy troops approaching with great force. He immediately led the troops back to the minaret camp.

Looking at the giant dragon raging in the sky and spitting fire, his intention to retreat became even stronger.

"Hurricane Blade!"

Suddenly there was a whisper of magic spells in the air.

I saw a man wearing a gorgeous magic robe, flying into the air with his feet on the green wind, and ended with the magic spell in his mouth.

Huge hurricane blades more than one meter long were condensed and slashed towards the two white-winged monitor lizards in front.

There are six green wind blades that are more than one meter long!

I saw the wind blade slashing through two white-winged monitor lizards at a terrifying speed.

Roar--

A painful roar fell.

That was the cry of two monitor lizards.

The wind blade fell, and the head of a white-winged monitor lizard was severed, with its head missing.

A white-winged monitor lizard had its wings cut off and its body fell apart.

"All troops attack!"

As the man riding the green wind shouted the order.

An elite team of up to six thousand people appeared behind him.

Three thousand elven warriors, two thousand elven archers, and a thousand legion guards.

This is an army with sufficient physical strength and excellent condition. Compared with the Dongmu County garrison who was short of men and horses at this time, the victory or defeat can be known in advance.

The commander of the Third Infantry Corps was shocked when he saw the voice in the air.

"Kris, the Archmage of the Royal Court? He's actually here..."

"Attack! The whole army attacks!"

He knew in his heart that if he didn't attack, he would be the unlucky one.

So he quickly ordered the 10,000 infantrymen under his command to surround and kill the enemy.

On the other side, Jiang Rong looked solemn as he watched the two white-winged monitor lizards being killed instantly.

"Yu County Sheriff, order the troops to start retreating into the city! The enemy's reinforcements have arrived!"

Jiang Rong said in a deep voice.

"The enemy has already formed a siege. If we order the troops to retreat at this time, I'm afraid we will lose nearly half of our troops in an instant!"

Yu Qian gritted his teeth and said.

"We have to give them up. If we continue like this, we won't be able to save any of them!"

"Okay! Then let the archer team retreat into the city first, and the dragon cavalry camp will hold back the reinforcements."

"The spear army then retreats, and the sword and shield army... blocks the enemy's front army!"

"Carry General Zhou Tai back! He is too seriously injured!"

For a time, the enemy's reinforcements completely disrupted the plan. The original victory was very likely to change because of the arrival of the reinforcements.

At this time, the Five Thousand Swords and Shields New Army had lost more than 3,000 people, the spearmen had lost more than 1,000 people, and the Dragon Cavalry Battalion had lost more than 300 people.

The losses were not unbearable.

But compared to the enemy's losses, it was actually considered a great victory.

But if we do not withdraw our troops at this time, we will not only face the danger of the city changing hands, but also the possibility of the entire army being annihilated!

As the order to retreat was issued, the enemy counterattacked even more fiercely. The pressure on the troops responsible for delaying the enemy immediately increased, and the losses increased at a terrifying rate.

"Attack the city!"

A roar resounded across the sky.

The troops left to delay the enemy are already shaky and may be wiped out before long.

But this also gave the rest of the team time to retreat into the city.

Chris slowly fell from the air to the ground, chanting a magic spell in his mouth.

Small wind blades around him were condensed, and in a few blinks, hundreds of wind blades half the size of a palm surrounded him.

"disease!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of wind blades instantly attacked the dragon cavalry battalion in front.

Whoosh whoosh—

The wind blade lunged forward.

Each war horse had its throat and limbs slashed.

A famous dragon cavalryman had his limbs and even his head cut off.

Suddenly the horse's neighing sounded loudly.

Cavalrymen continued to be killed by the wind blade, and a breakthrough was suddenly opened.

"Pursue! Stop them from entering the city!"

"This is the best time to attack the city! Rush over and capture the city!"

Chris shouted.

Two thousand elven archers poured arrows forward, and the remaining four thousand melee troops rushed out of the cavalry's breach and ran toward the city gate.

Seeing this, Yu Qian immediately mobilized a thousand spearmen to block the onrushing reinforcements.

His expression darkened.

This city has become a dangerous city and may be difficult to defend any longer.

However, in today's battle, the enemy's elite suffered heavy losses. In addition to the previous battles, the enemy's death toll was nearly 20,000.

In this way, even if the city is destroyed and people are killed, he can still be considered as doing nothing...

While the defenders of Dongmu County were struggling to resist, a black shadow appeared in the west direction and rolled up the morning fog.

The ground was shaking, and the terrifying momentum immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Cavalry? Did your Majesty send another cavalry to support?"

The commander of the Third Infantry Corps looked at the movement from the west and estimated that this group of cavalry numbered at least five thousand. "That's the enemy's reinforcements! Idiot, there are only the Silver Helmet Knights left in the camp, and they don't have that many numbers." Chris glanced at him and said coldly.

"What should we do? Mr. Chris, it is difficult for us to resist these cavalry!"

"The only way is to attack the city, occupy the city to resist the cavalry and wait for reinforcements to arrive. If the city cannot be captured, then you will have to wait to die."

"Come on, I'll pass the news back." Chris patted the commander of the Third Infantry Regiment beside him, and then slowly left.

The commander of the Third Infantry Corps was left stunned.

After Chris arrived at the battlefield, he saw the situation clearly and guessed that the commander of the Third Infantry Corps did not send troops, which caused heavy losses to the troops outside.

Secondly, he had also heard rumors about this man's poor character, so an instinctive disgust surged into his heart from the moment they first met.

After bringing the half-dead and half-alive Sarode, Chris found the elf high priest Natasha and explained the situation, and then several people left first.

The supporting team was followed by only two thousand elven archers who evacuated.

The remaining people were unable to leave the battlefield quickly because they were fighting with the enemy.

The enemy's cavalry was large in number, and they could only protect so many people.

Chris is the most powerful mage in the court, and he doesn't care that much about the losses of the army.

Those two thousand elven archers were brought along at the strong request of Natasha, the high priest of the elves.

As the two of them cast speed-increasing magic, the team's marching speed quickly doubled, and they quickly left the battlefield and retreated towards the minaret camp.

Just after some of the enemy troops withdrew.

The sound of horse hooves sounded from far to near.

The ground was shaking crazily, and the weeds were afraid to hide their heads.

The sun above the sky hid in the clouds as if in fear. As the cavalry approached in the distance, dark clouds followed, pressing heavily on the enemy's heart.

There are more than 7,000 dense cavalry!

Like a black torrent crossing the lush green grassland.

"Archery!"

wow wow wow-

A hail of arrows instantly enveloped the enemy troops in the rear.

Suddenly, an overwhelming rain of arrows struck, and the Third Infantry Corps suffered heavy losses in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the remaining defenders of Dongmu County became excited, and their morale slowly rose again.

The city gate opened, and the soldiers who had retreated into the city rushed out to fight with the enemy again.

You Ming led 6,000 dragon cavalry battalions to kill from behind the enemy's rear, like a sharp knife, killing the enemy to pieces.

The morale of the infantry regiment of more than 10,000 people was instantly shattered.

Under the trampling of the cavalry, most of the army chose to surrender.

On the other side, Jie led eight hundred wolf cavalry to kill the enemy troops gathered near the city gate.

The ferocious giant wolf, paired with elite warriors, killed those elites who retreated steadily, and finally had no choice but to surrender.

Subsequently, the enemy troops near Dongmu County were eventually either killed or captured.

Everyone burst into cheers, not only happy that they survived this battle, but also full of hope for the next reward.

"Treat wounded soldiers, clean the battlefield, count battle losses, and take prisoners into custody!"

Order after order was issued on the battlefield.

"The two generals have timely support, please enter the city quickly!"

Yu Qian invited the two of them into the city.

In the governor's house, the three of them were chatting about the war.

"The enemy suffered heavy losses this time. According to previous intelligence, the enemy's total strength this time was only 50,000 or 60,000. Now that more than half of them have been lost, I am afraid it will be difficult to send troops to attack Dongmu County."

Yu Qian said slowly.

You Ming nodded slightly: "You are right what Governor Yu said. I have already sent a message to you to report this success. Thanks to Governor Yu for seizing the opportunity to achieve such great results!"

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "This is not my fault alone, it is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. However, according to my inference, your Majesty will gather the army later and launch a counterattack against the enemy."

"Well, I'll wait for a day to repair myself and make another great achievement." Jie nodded.

Not long after, a figure walked into the county governor's house.

Several people looked up and saw that it was Jiang Rong.

Yu Qian asked: "How is General Zhou Tai's injury?"

Jiang Rong sighed and said: "I have taken the anti-inflammatory pills and Baiyu Decoction. I have just mastered the power of Spring Rain. I can't treat the injury as well as you. I can only save his life. If you want to get out of bed, you may need your help."

Yu Qian nodded slightly and said, "If General Zhou Tai had not fought bravely today, I am afraid that not only would we not have been able to accept such a victory, but the casualties of the army would have been even greater."

"The person who has made the greatest contribution to this battle is undoubtedly Zhou Tai. I will immediately send a message and request your Majesty to heal General Zhou Tai's injuries."

"That's very good." Jiang Rong nodded.

"Report, the county guard's casualties have been counted."

An officer walked into the palace and walked into the palace.

"Read it." Yu Qian said solemnly.

"More than 460 people of the Dragon Cavalry Battalion were killed, more than 60 people were seriously injured, and more than 800 people were slightly injured."

"More than 2,400 people of the Phalange Army were killed, more than 300 people were seriously injured, and more than 1,000 people were slightly injured."

"More than four hundred archers were killed and more than a hundred were wounded."

"The new sword and shield army, more than 4,100 people were killed..."

"There are more than 7,000 people..."

When Yu Qian heard this number, his expression suddenly fell silent.

"Your Majesty once said that they died to protect the people and their homeland. Their heroes will be treated kindly, their relatives will be supported, and they will be respected by the people of Qin..."

You Ming said slowly as if recalling the past.

Several tribal elders in the governor's mansion bowed their heads silently for a long time.

After a while, the officer began to report the number of prisoners again.

"A total of more than 9,000 enemy troops were captured, including more than 3,000 long-eared elves. However, we do not understand their language and it is difficult to communicate with them..."

"Tens of thousands of sets of various armors and equipment, countless longbows and weapons..."

"Write these down and send them to Kyoto together to present them to your Majesty."

"Yes!"

.........

Minaret Camp fifteen miles away.

A team of more than two thousand people poured in from the metal gate.

The first floor of a defensive spire.

Just like the gorgeous palace of the Crystal Palace, an angry voice resounded through the hall.

"Trash! It's all trash!"

"The entire 30,000-strong army! Just disappeared like that?"

"Twenty thousand elites! Twenty thousand elites!"

Yilor held his suffocating chest with his right hand. Listening to the information reported by Chris, he couldn't believe it for a moment.

There have been dozens of invasion battles, and the losses have never been as great as today!

His brother-in-law, the biological brother of the current queen, died.

Leo, the elf emperor of the Griffin Cavalry, died.

Within the Royal Court Knights, hundreds of descendants of nobles were dead.

Oh my god, this is chaos...

It's really messed up.

His face was heavy, his chest was heavy, and he felt a feeling of despair welling up in his heart.

This loss is far greater than the loss of 30,000 troops!

After returning, if those nobles know about it, not only will they pick up trouble, but they may also trigger a torrent of rebellion.

The elves are also in danger of splitting.

Yilor knew that this war could not continue...
