Flutter--

The boots lifted up from the blood water, making a slight noise. Derek didn't care about the sound under his feet. He looked at the battlefield where the corpses were all over the field, and the soldiers who were bent over looking for valuables on the corpses. This is the field. A successful ambush-it would be even more perfect if the enemy leader was not released.

"Derek, see who we killed." At this moment, a mature voice came from behind him, and Derek turned to look at the words. It turned out to be the commander of the Chain Armored Cavalry Brigade who just took off his helmet. Officer Gleb, this mature nobleman was walking towards him with two cavalrymen. As he walked, he said: "I just received a message from a prisoner that their deputy commander Parhati is already in the cavalry. He died under the charge."

"Dead in battle? Is there a corpse?" Derek asked rhetorically, before he saw the corpse with his own eyes, he would not easily believe it.

"My people are taking the prisoner to identify the corpse." Gleb said, walking to his side and looking at the corpses all over the floor. There were enemies and friendly forces, but it was obviously the enemy's corpse. most. "We won a great victory this time," he said again.

"Yes, when it is reported to Your Majesty Caesar, I believe that our title will be further promoted." Derek said triumphantly, and then he added: "Although the commander of the coalition army is allowed to run away."

"It's okay. Although the commander-in-chief and other high-level officials were released, we killed and injured more than 2,000 enemies, captured nearly 1,000 people, and more than 2,000 people were trapped in Pintus territory. As long as we hold our hands firmly On the road to Sukinya, the two thousand enemy troops will be annihilated sooner or later."

Derek nodded and deeply agreed with Gleb’s words, but he had his own ideas. He said: "I think we should pursue victory and pursue after the battlefield is cleared, and continue to pursue the enemy’s retreat. More than two thousand enemies were wiped out."

Then, he talked about his reasons: "The enemy has just abandoned the friendly forces and fled soon. The morale must be low and there is no intention to fight anymore. If we take advantage of this time to pursue and engage the enemy, they will soon be defeated."

"I understand what you mean, Derek." Gleb said, he shrugged helplessly, and said: "But our soldiers have just gone through a **** battle and are already very tired. Let them chase the enemy forcibly. It would be counterproductive."

Hearing Gleb’s reminder, Derek only remembered the state of the soldiers. He glanced at the soldiers who were clearing the battlefield. Although the soldiers’ faces were triumphantly excited, they still couldn’t be concealed. I could only sigh, and said, "Well, Gleb, you reminded me, it looks like we can only let the soldiers rest first."

"However, I will immediately send someone to Tuss City to report to Lord Earl and His Majesty Caesar on the battle situation here, and suggest that they send troops to pursue." Derek continued.

...

On the other side, the army led by Earl Charles finally joined Richard, and after Magnus arranged reinforcements, Richard walked into the city of Tuss with Charles. During the siege, apart from the heavily armed soldiers, no civilians could be seen in the streets and alleys of Tuss City. When walking on the street and talking to Charles, Richard could still feel the transmission from the houses on both sides. A sense of peeping out—that's because the civilians are looking out through the windows and door cracks.

"Your Majesty Caesar, after this war is over, we are going to start conscription." Charles said, because the language they spoke to was German, they could talk about military affairs in the street without fear of being snooped by others. Anyway, these indigenous people are also talking about military affairs in the street. Can not understand.

"Yes." Richard nodded and agreed with Charles' words. He said: "Although the total number of the First Army is large, the troops that can be deployed during the war are not as generous as it appears. After the war is over , The military management of the First Army must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Charles, as the military commander of the kingdom, you will be responsible for this matter."

"As you wish, Your Majesty Caesar." Charles nodded and promised.

It’s no wonder that Richard would say this, because the first legion apparently has 20,000 troops, but in fact, except for the four spear sergeant groups and one chain cavalry group assigned to the Cunha area As well as the independent Teutonic Knights, there are only about 17,000 soldiers left. Among these 7,000 soldiers, more than 1,500 are to be stationed at the Sukenya Silver Mine and Arest Silver Mine. Among the remaining 16,000 soldiers, there are more than 6,000 soldiers who are poorly melee soldiers equipped with crossbows and firearms-although this sounds terrifying, the long-range troops can only play a role in the end. In effect, once the infantry in front of the line is defeated, they can only face the enemy's merciless butcher knife.

Therefore, it is necessary to re-divide the First Army. The five battalions stationed in the Cunha area must be independent, and they can be incorporated into the Cunha garrison. The commander of the corps is tentatively designated as the Danish general Toola Gris. The space left after independence should also be filled. Taking into account the issue of soldiers, Richard decided to recruit troops on Kuban Island, those Germans of the same ancestry (although in fact the race of this body is not Germanic) It was the most reliable and the most suitable. Besides, he also decided to move some of the residents of Nuremberg, which was a bit overpopulated, to live in the mainland.

Of course, these are all things to follow~lightnovelpub.net~ But considering the time issue, Richard still sent someone to Kuban to issue the conscription order. If the war does not end prematurely, the recruited company can also join the war. , Accumulate combat experience.

Talking all the way, the two quickly came to the palace. They went straight into the study and sat down. Then, Richard took the lead and said: "This time you and I will meet. We will not divide the forces for the time being. The coalition will definitely not lose. Will be willing, they will flee to the Sukenya collar to repair, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. We can't wait for the enemy to hit the door, this is not our style."

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that the coalition forces will not have the opportunity to withdraw into the Sukenya territory for repairs. Even if they can, there are only a few remnants."

"What do you mean?" Richard was puzzled.

Charles explained with a smile: "Before I rushed here, I ordered my lieutenant Derek to lead a part of the army to set up ambush on the only way for the enemy to retreat. I believe that soon we will get a good news from Derek."

"Good job, Charles." Richard clapped his palms, looked at him approvingly, and said, "If the coalition forces are ambushed and suffer heavy losses, then the next war will become very simple. After our army is repaired, Lead the advance to Sukenya, I will make the Pravias who violated the contract pay a terrible price!"
