Alien Empire Total War

The development of the next battle situation seems to be a matter of course.

The defeat of the 10th and 11th divisions of Enkelan was catastrophic and unstoppable. Even the division commanders of the two divisions could do nothing to save the soldiers who had fled. They could only watch in despair as more and more soldiers came They ran past them, and in the end they were either wrapped in the crowd and fled together, or they evacuated on horseback under the **** of the guards.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, division commanders and other senior officers rode war horses. They escaped far faster than ordinary soldiers with only two legs, and quickly fled the battlefield, while those who ran slowly were fast. They were overtaken by the Imperial cavalry. The cavalry loudly demanded the captives to surrender on their knees in the unskilled Enkelan language. Shouting surrender.

Ackerman and Haddad did not give up this opportunity, and they relayed the news of the defeat of the 10th and 11th divisions to the 6th and 1st divisions who were still struggling through the captured Enkelan officers. The remnants of the brigade demanded that they lay down their weapons and surrender, claiming that as long as they were willing to surrender, the Empire would guarantee that everyone would be returned home alive.

The Enklan officer who persuaded to surrender held the captured flag of the 10th Division. In addition, the sound of fighting on the other side of the battlefield had gradually subsided. The Enklan people who were trapped in the siege believed his words, and even the reinforcements were captured. The enemy is defeated, what's the point of them continuing to persevere? In the end, it will only increase casualties.

Many soldiers thought this way, not only ordinary soldiers, but most officers also had the same idea. The crowd soon heard discussions among the soldiers, and at the beginning, the voices were kept low to avoid the officer's intentions. , After they found out that the officer did not intend to reprimand them, the voices of the soldiers became louder and louder, and the crowd became more and more noisy.

"We should not continue to resist, this will only increase unnecessary casualties!"

"Surrender! I've had enough of this **** war, and I'd rather go to a Lumont prisoner-of-war camp than be scared on the battlefield."

"The Holy Spirit is above, and the reinforcements have been routed. What effect can we rely on the remnants of alone? It's better to surrender."

"..."

The remarks of the soldiers filled the eardrums of the officers, and were quickly passed to Harper’s ears. Not only the officers around Harper and the brigade commander of the first brigade who had fled in a state of embarrassment tended to surrender, but also Harper himself. All have the same thoughts as them.

However, as the head of this force, Harper knew that once he personally ordered the surrender, after the war was over and they were released back home, if the Parliament wanted to liquidate, he would be the first to bear the brunt.

In general, he wanted to surrender, but he didn't dare to surrender. This kind of contradictory psychology made him very entangled and painful.

However, his enemies did not give him much time to struggle.

After the captive was persuaded to surrender, seeing that the Enklan people had not responded, Ackerman ordered the troops to list an offensive posture and slowly approach the Enklan army. The artillery of the 5th Division also cooperated and shot into the air. A few cannon shots, the deafening cannon sound echoed in the dark night, and it could still be heard from a few miles away.

Although it was just shooting from the void and no shells were loaded, the sound of the cannons still had a deterrent effect on the Enkelan army. There were a few screams in the crowd, and Harper was also shocked. He looked at the enemy who was slowly advancing in the distance, but brought them great pressure, and couldn't help swallowing.

"Surrender."

After a long while, he finally made a decision and said in a difficult tone.

But after the hardship, he seemed relieved. After making this difficult decision, he had no way out at all. He could only lead his subordinates to lay down their weapons and surrender to the enemy.

Following his order, the soldiers who received the order were like amnesty. They couldn't wait to throw their weapons on the ground and took the initiative to walk towards the imperial line advancing towards them, shouting loudly: "We surrender! We surrender! "

They shouted in Enkelan with boiling water, and then they were afraid that the enemy would not understand, so they repeated it in unskilled Lumen language. Holding his head in his hands, he walked slowly, and under the light of the torches behind them, the uneasy look on the prisoner's face was clearly visible.

The situation that the Enkelans feared the enemy backtracked did not happen. After checking their bodies and making sure that they did not have any threatening weapons hidden on them, the Imperial soldiers released them and concentrated them. While concentrating on detainees, the cooks in the imperial army also started cooking on fires to prepare hot meals for the soldiers.

Although the three infantry divisions did not bring the logistics carriages with the baggage because of the pursuit, it was not difficult for the cooks. They directly poured the canned food and water carried by the soldiers into a large pot and cooked them with a large fire. Boil it, boil it directly into a pot of broth, and let the soldiers eat it with bread.

The prisoners of war who had been searched and detained were also given a bowl of hot broth and black bread. After fighting for hours, they were all hungry, so they soaked the black bread in the broth and took it out again. They ate a lot, and I don't know if it was because of hunger, but they had an extremely delicious dinner.

Although every soldier is very tired after a major war, they still need to clean the battlefield~www.readwn.com~ Take away all available weapons that are scattered on the ground, the corpses must also be disposed of, they will The well-fed prisoners of war mobilized and dug several large pits on the side of the battlefield, and then buried the bodies of the Enkelans in them.

As for the corpses of their own soldiers, each one was taken back to the barracks, cremated and handed over to their widows along with their pensions.

It took them more than two hours to clean the battlefield. After all this was done, they couldn't get a rest. They had to drive the prisoners of war together in the direction of the Fifth Division's arrival. The prisoners of war were handed over to the military along with the spoils.

Before they set off, Ackerman and several other generals got the battle report statistics of the battle. In the battle that took place on this unknown plain, at least 57,000 soldiers participated in the battle. The imperial army had a total of More than 4,000 soldiers were killed, while more than 7,000 were killed on the Enklan side, and more than 11,000 became prisoners, including the division commander of the 6th Division and the brigade commander of the 1st Brigade. (This does not include the previous cavalry battle)

It can be said that the victory of this battle did not depend entirely on the killing and wounding of the enemy infantry, but mainly on their morale. After defeating the enemy's fighting spirit and morale, victory came naturally. .
