Chapter 320 Pursuit
"Master Sergeant, you will lead the cavalry team and choose two slightly complete flag teams to follow Kazak and others to pursue the enemy for three miles. Remember to pursue the enemy immediately after a maximum of three miles. You cannot fight in love. The enemy will definitely react after chasing for a long time."
"Odo, if you take forty people to the enemy camp, they will definitely not have time to return to the camp to move everything away. Take all the things that can be taken back to Val City, and pour tiny oil on the baggage and equipment that cannot be taken away and burned to pieces."
Angus and Odo, both of them, ignored the exhaustion after the war, turned around and assembled soldiers to complete the mission.
"Medical Team! Medical Team! Where is the medical captain?" Yat shouted around.
An officer in a light burqa ran over from a distance, with blood dripping from his hands.
"Sir? I am the medical captain."
Yat glanced at the medical captain. This guy was not from the army. He was an apprentice selected by doctor Thomas in the valley two years ago. After Thomas transferred from civil affairs to the command tent of the Wells Legion Central Army as the chief physician, the proud apprentice was also transferred to the army to serve as the medical captain. Spencer led the arsenal of the logistics team, the logistics team and the camp team, and most of the military laborers rushed to Saint Ryan County in advance to establish the logistics supply station, and the medical team and the kitchen followed most of the army's troops.
"Where is Doctor Thomas?" Yat báchuláichājìn The knight sword on the chest of the enemy soldier wiped blood from the enemy soldier's body and asked the medical captain.
The medical captain looked at the enemy soldiers who were being repaired on the ground, "Doctor Thomas is treating Chief Andrew. Chief Andrew's sternum was broken and he fainted. The doctor is trying his best to save him."
Yat glanced at the direction of the Andrew flag team on the left wing, and there was indeed a group of people gathered together.
"You can't stay outside the city for a long time. The medical team quickly carried the wounded soldiers to Val City, and then treated the wounded soldiers in the city. If there is not enough manpower, let the moveable soldiers help. Hurry!"
The medical captain turned around and organized people to carry the minor and serious wounded soldiers into Val City.
"Matthew, let everyone else clean the battlefield, and give priority to collecting weapons and armor. The weapons and armor of the Western Army are really good."
Matthew immediately called out the soldiers who had no mission and were slumped on the ground to trim, and began to peel off the weapons and armor from the enemy soldiers scattered all over the ground.
Almost according to priorities, Yat pulled out a piece of sword-wiping rag from his waist bag and wiped the blood on his clothes. He looked up at the direction of Val City and ordered the guard officer Ron: "Ron, it's time for us to meet Lord Valt who sent troops to help at critical moments."
............
In the east city of Val City, the 200 infantry of the First Regiment of the Yona Legion, which was pursuing the defeated Western Army, had returned to the defense castle. The commander of the defending army in Val City looked very ugly.
"......... Lord Yat, if I knew you didn't have more than a thousand ambushes at all, I would not be able to follow you crazy at the risk of breaking the city. If five or six hundred people dare to pretend to be one or two thousand, you are too brave!" Walter's face turned pale. He had been criticizing Ate's insidiousness and treacherousness since he came to the city to meet.
When the Western Army retreated, Walter saw the so-called "more than a thousand ambush" behind him, in fact, the number of people was less than 200. He did not continue to participate in the "ambush" pursuing the enemy's remaining soldiers, but instead took the enemy to take advantage of the fact that he had not yet reacted and quickly returned to Val City with two hundred troops.
"Yat~ My Lord Yat! Have you listened to me? Hurry up and withdraw your army back to Val City, otherwise I will not be stupid and believe your lies after being besieged by the returned enemy troops!" Valt shouted loudly to wake up the careless Yat.
Yat's eyes slowly raised.
"Walter! Shut up!"
Yat was angered by the last roar. Today's bloody battle had already caused great losses to the Wells Legion. Now that the enemy has defeated the enemy, the dangerous situation in Val City, the commander of this bastard dared to grab Yat's tail and refuse to let go.
Walter was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the other party to get angry.
"If it weren't for the Wells Legion, you and your army would have perished with Val City long ago! If I hadn't used my strategy to deceive the enemy, could they stop siege and turn to deal with me? If my soldiers hadn't fought with the enemy outside the city, could you Lord Walter stand here and accuse someone who saved the lives of the whole city?"
"Lie? What were you doing when my soldiers were slaughtered by the enemy outside the city? Wait and watch? Hesitate? Or is it that the soldiers who died and injured were not your soldiers? You went out of the city to rescue without regard to the previous agreement. Who was the one who was insidious and cunning?"
"Don't say you're just a little baron of private soldiers. Even if Charis stood in front of me personally, I dare to say that I did nothing wrong!"
Walter said a few words, but never took over the conversation.
Yat vented his anger, and he didn't want to talk too much. He raised his head and said to the somewhat speechless Walter Order: "Baron Walter, I guess you know that I have a military position as an adjutant of the Eastern Army? That was the military position granted to me by the court when Marquis Ivreya was reigned."
Walter recalled that it seemed that such a thing was indeed true, so he nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, I will now order the defenders of Val City in the name of the Eastern Army Adjutant to leave the city immediately to assist the Wells Legion to gather the wounded soldiers, clear the battlefield, and then send people to the west to meet the troops pursuing the enemy's anti-city."
"Also, my army needs to be trimmed, so that your men can free up enough houses in the city for soldiers to station and provide enough food and supplies for the Wells Legion."
Walter was stunned for a moment. The guy in front of him really regarded himself as the leader, and he didn't move at all.
"Walter, if you dare to disobey my military orders, I will let you go to the Jonah court for trial. And sooner or later, the Western Army will notice the abnormality and lead more troops to siege Val again. If my army chooses to withdraw because it cannot get the proper settlement of the defenders of Val, you will have to wait for the court to draw another army from the north to rescue you." Yat threatened.
"Mr. Att, I will execute the military order immediately." Walter replied reluctantly.
Walter did not want to pay attention to the bullshit orders issued by Yat as an adjutant of military affairs, but Yat hit Walter's pain point, and Vall City needed the assistance of the Wells Legion.
With the help of the defenders of Val City and the labor-sergeant soldiers in the city, the Wells Legion quickly cleaned up the battlefield and camps, and the army entered a block where the powerful and wealthy people lived in Val City. Of course, the owners of these houses had already escaped the war zone and ran to the hinterland of Yona Province to avoid the war.
After the wounded soldiers were settled, Yat had no time to count the soldiers' injuries, so he rode on his horse and led the guards out of the city gate and ran westward.
After running for a mile, Yat came to the Western Army camp where the raging fire was ignited. Odo was leading dozens of soldiers to carry the spoils seized from the enemy camp onto several damaged carriages and transporting them back little by little. Some scattered corpses could be seen in the camp. It was thought that they were all wounded Western Army soldiers who were killed by Odo.
When Odog saw Yat arrive, he kicked the horse and greeted him.
"Odo, why are you so little?" Yat saw that the enemy camp had already ignited a fire, but dozens of soldiers were unable to seize much valuable profits.
"Sir, this group of Western troops is just looking sophisticated. It is estimated that the marching is in a hurry. There is not much reserved weapon and material in their camp except for these tools to make siege equipment. In addition, the retreating enemy troops have already searched it first, so we didn't have time to search it carefully. The food and materials that could be taken away were all loaded on these broken cars that the enemy had not taken away." Odo originally thought that he could find a lot of gold, silver and wealth in the Western Army camp, and at the worst, he could find a lot of weapons and armor, but he did not know that the elite guards and the Western border troops who seemed to be well-equipped were just donkey poop eggs.
"I just looked at the granary of the Western Army Camp. Even if the retreating enemy took away some of the food, the remaining food would definitely not last long. I roughly estimate that the grain in the Western Army Camp could last at most three days. If we had known that they were short of food, we would not have to attack at all, and we could drag them to death even if we dragged them."
Yat glanced at the Western Army camp where fire had already risen. The siege equipment of all sizes had been buried in the sea of fire, and the camp tents had become one by one. "No wonder they were going to conquer Val City to the death. It turned out that they had no military rations, but we can't be lucky, what if their follow-up team arrived soon."
"Then we~"
"You first bring people to transport all the supplies into Val City, and then assist the defenders in laying out city defense."
"Remember to ask Walter for some food and food."
"yes!"
After Yat told Odo, he rode his horse to the west. He wanted to see if the pursuing enemy troops had returned smoothly...
............
Three miles west of Val City, the corpses of fleeing Western troops were scattered along the King's Avenue, all the way to the west. The Western Army, who thought that a large number of enemy ambushed soldiers were pursuing, fleeing in a very embarrassing manner. Although the commander of the Western Army tried his best to stabilize the defeated troops and allow the soldiers to evacuate in an orderly manner, the flock of wolves behind the tail would not take into account the lonely companions.
So there were dozens of Western Army corpses passing by, most of them were wounded soldiers who were physically overdrawn and abandoned.
Angus wiped the spear that was nailed into the enemy's corpse and wiped the blood and put it back into the bag of the back saddle of the war horse. Behind Angus were four neatly arranged soldiers of the flag team, and a small number of infantrymen searched the enemy's corpses around the road to gather weapons and armor.
There was a "dream" sound, and the captain of the cavalry, Luciniang, returned from the west with two cavalrymen, and beside Mahjongs, "Mr. Angus, most of the enemy troops have retreated to a farm five miles away here to garrison, and a small number of the enemy troops have completely fled. They have established a defense line, and the cavalry team dare not go deeper, Jafar and Reyek are leading their men to monitor the farm."
"Kazak Kazak!" Angus waved toward Kazak, who was commanding four infantry flags to prepare for battle and took the opportunity to briefly repair it.
Kazak heard the summons and continued to set up the formation, and ran towards Angus.
"Kazak, the enemy has stabilized its feet. I am worried that they will immediately fǎngong. You will immediately retreat to Val City with four infantry flag teams, and bring the enemy's military information to the adults at the farm eight miles west of Val City."
"Yes, Lord Angus!" Kazak turned and ran to the infantry formation to command the return journey.
Chapter completed!
