Roman Empire of Total War
Chapter 253: "·War of Lele·End"
When a powerful foreigner invades a region, all the weaker forces in the region, because of jealousy of the powerful force over them, will immediately attach themselves to the invading foreigner.
-Nicolo Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)
When Veriasius led the cavalry against the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance, the other two Eastern Alliance forces affected by the rear battle were also unstable, and the situation on the battlefield was once occupied by the troops from the western Lulu. Got the upper hand.
Especially the middle road army commanded by Mullen, behind them is another battlefield that shouted killing. The cavalry charge and the cry of the friendly forces made all the warriors including the elite of the Dart tribe involuntarily feel worried. Endlessly.
The Eastern Union’s fighting will suddenly fell. For the attacking Luxi army, it was a rare opportunity; Gregory and Roderick jointly seized this rare fighter and desperately attacked the enemy forces ahead. .
The soldiers of the Hall Department, who were still at a disadvantage, also responded with great morale to the counterattacked enemy troops; the situation on the entire battlefield was deviating to the west of Lu, the number of dominant Eastern Alliance Completely lost the initiative on the battlefield.
Even if Veriasius led 20,000 cavalry out of the battlefield, the Warkley tribe army that had not yet gathered the defeated friendly generals did not dare to easily turn to the battlefield behind the reinforcements. They must be careful to guard against the enemy troops cruising around the battlefield. cavalry.
The nearly five hours of fighting cost the nearly 200,000 troops in the west of Lu to pay the casualties of nearly 60,000 soldiers; but their efforts are worth it. The 400,000 troops in the Eastern League are only able to fight at this time. Less than 250,000 left.
Of course, this does not mean that there are as many as 150,000 soldiers killed in the Eastern League. A large number of wounded soldiers withdrew from the battle accounted for more than two-thirds of the Eastern League casualties. Less than five soldiers actually died on the battlefield. Million.
Correspondingly, the 60,000 soldiers killed and wounded in western Luzhou are not all war dead, and the number of injured fighters is also more than half; there are 140,000 troops in Luxilu who can continue to fight, and the combat troops of the Eastern Alliance are also up to 250,000!
The battle between Lu Xiluo and the Eastern League, which is stronger or weaker, is far from over. The soldiers of the two armed forces who have not yet exhausted are still fighting for life and death under the sunshine.
Veriasius led his cavalry unit cruising around the battlefield, while restoring the physical strength of the cavalry and the war horse, while looking for the fighter plane to enter the battlefield to rush again; the soldiers of the Eastern Alliance also maintained sufficient vigilance , Beware of them.
After the leader of the Wockley tribe regrouped all the defeated allies, he immediately mobilized 50,000 coalition troops to reinforce the already unsupportable army of Malun, and led the remaining soldiers to guard against the cavalry of Veriasius. force.
The battle has now become such a situation that the leader of the Wockley tribe cannot use any small means as long as it is not a fool; once the middle army of Mullen is annihilated, the whole army of the Eastern Alliance will be at risk of defeat. No one wants to see it.
With the reinforcements of the 50,000 friendly army in the rear, Mullen once again stabilized his precarious formation and reorganized the counterattack against the fallen army in West Lu; at this juncture of life and death, the fragmented Eastern Alliance finally finally joined together again. stand up.
The warriors from the 18 tribes changed their previous open battles, and in this unfavorable battlefield, they once again joined hands to fight the strong attack of Lu Xiluo; the enemy army will return to unity, which is probably Veriasius. The only thing I didn't expect.
However, it is too late to think of unity at this time; Veriasius did not feel that the united Eastern Conference was a big deal. No matter how the enemy struggled, they could not win this battle. !
The self-confident Veriasius was right about the battle situation, but his western army had not been able to win the battle; this battle, which began in the morning, continued until the night fell. The indiscriminate way is over.
In the following battles, Viriasius did not find a suitable opportunity to lead the cavalry to join the battle; the Eastern Alliance army, mainly composed of the Wockley tribe, also did not join the battle because of the cavalry dropped by the western Luke.
After the battle was over, Veliasius, who led the army back to the camp, only brought back 80,000 intact soldiers and more than 60,000 wounded soldiers; in this battle, Lu Xixi, which had 200,000 soldiers in the battle, finally paid The cost of more than 50,000 people killed and more than 60,000 people injured.
If the casualties in the west of Lu can be described as heavy, then the casualties in the Eastern League can't be described in words; the 400,000 soldiers who rushed out of the air, and only 270,000 were eventually withdrawn to the barracks !
That is, among the 270,000 soldiers who withdrew, there are more than 100,000 soldiers who are temporarily unable to fight anymore. There are less than 150,000 soldiers who can continue to fight. In this battle of Leer, the Eastern Alliance is true. Was defeated.
Even if the Eastern Union’s combatable strength exceeds that of Lu Xixi, it is impossible to change the strength of the two sides; after all, Lu Xixi’s heritage is much deeper than that of the Eastern Alliance. Everyone knows that today’s 200,000 troops are not All the troops in the west of Lu.
Perhaps it will only take about half a month, and Lu Xiluo can again transfer 200,000 troops to feel the border area; can the subsequent weak Eastern League continue to fight? Without any hesitation, all the tribal leaders of the Eastern Alliance unanimously decided to withdraw their troops!
In order to prevent the troops from the west of Lu from pursuing their withdrawal, the 270,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance withdrew from Leer camp overnight, and all the soldiers quickly returned to their tribal camps in tribal units.
In the early morning of the next day, Veriasius found the deserted camp of Leer; when Roderick and Hall proposed to pursue, the slightly thinking Veriasius rejected their proposal. , And turned back to the hinterland of the west of Lu.
The battle between Lu Xiluo and the Eastern League came to an end because of the two defeats in this battle. The unscathed Lu Xiluo did not pursue the Eastern League. The Eastern Union, which had suffered a great loss of strength, returned to the old nest and licked the wound. went.
In this battle of Leer, the Dart tribe is considered to be one of the most heavily lost Eastern Alliance tribes; the elite 50,000 warriors of the entire Dart tribe are almost completely annihilated, leaving less than five thousand soldiers to return to Dart. tribe.
Other ordinary soldiers also suffered heavy losses. In the next few years, the Dart tribe had no strength to find trouble in the city of Rome, and Mullen could not avenge his beloved son. How to make the Dart tribe survive, this It became Mullen's top priority.
Before the tribes of the Eastern Alliance who were still fighting with the enemy on the battlefield, without the threat of falling from the west of Lu, all tribes will soon embark on the road of mutual annexation for the restoration of their own strength. Have such a good opportunity!
