Black Iron Crown

Chapter 339 The Destruction of Morsh

Reiner's words reached the ears of every soldier, and they cheered, but they still didn't let go of their work.

After this battle, 3,587 enemy troops were killed in battle alone. This was calculated by Leiner from the increase in merit points.

And such brilliant results did not include those wounded soldiers who had escaped on horseback and were dying.

There is a lack of medical care on the grassland, and there is not even a medical system, so it is difficult for those grassland cavalrymen to survive at night. Tetanus and wound infection will help Lena kill them.

The soldiers collected the name tags, armor and corpses of the fallen soldiers, gathered them together, and brought them back to their hometown after the war.

"Quick! There are still people alive here! The military doctor is here!" The two soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield found that the sergeant was still alive, and hurriedly shouted.

A military doctor hurried over with a medicine box on his shoulders. These military doctors were exchanged from the system by Leiner a long time ago, but because the price was too high, there were not many of them.

The military doctor ran over and squatted down with the medicine box in his arms, and two soldiers hurriedly helped the military doctor take off all the armor of the sergeant.

After an examination, the military doctor said: "Three ribs were broken, and the left forearm was slightly broken. He was not injured!"

As he said that, the military doctor took out two bandages from the medicine box, tied them to his left arm with two broken gun barrels, and then groped for a while on the sergeant's ribs, facing the soldiers carrying stretchers behind. beckoning.

Two soldiers came over immediately carrying the stretcher, carefully put the sergeant on the stretcher, and transported it to the rear.

This sergeant was Karma. His soldiers resisting the enemy cavalry did not die, but his serious injuries made him fall into a coma.

At this time, Reiner's joy of victory was diluted a lot.

Because the soldiers under his command suffered extremely heavy losses.

Six Scarlet Griffin Knights were killed while fighting the enemy, and thirty-five of the Scarlet Griffin followers were also killed. At the same time, seventeen knights under his command were killed, not counting the losses of the vassals.

As for the fifty cavalry archers, there are now only nineteen left, and among the three hundred and eighty Merland sergeants, one hundred and thirty-four were killed in battle, and eighty-eight were seriously injured. If one-third of them can return to the army and continue to serve, Reiner is very proud.

Secondly,

After the recruits suffered frontal and side blows one after another, the casualties were not small.

More than 400 of the original 1,900 recruits were directly killed, and more than 200 were seriously injured. There was only one person left in the Golden Lion Guard, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

The entire Red Army was wiped out, and there were only five Rohan Rangers left. This time, Leiner suffered a heavy loss.

And what led to all this was the collapse of the flanks.

Reiner patrolled around with a cold face, and the corpses of his own troops everywhere cast a haze on his mood.

"Victory! Lord Earl!" The vassals in charge of defending the left flank came to Leinard's side one after another, looking at him with bitter expressions.

"Yeah..." Reiner sighed and said, "We still won..."

Although these vassals were smiling, their hearts were obviously very heavy.

Because they paid too much.

Almost everyone in this group of left-wing vassals contributed at least one-third of their troops. This is only the number of deaths. There will be more soldiers who died of infection and were seriously injured and disabled.

These soldiers are all the troops they put in a lot of effort and paid a huge price to form, and now they have lost so much just because the Earl wants to protect Samuza.

The most important point is that after paying so much troops, they still can't get anything in return, which is the reason for their bitter faces.

Although they have won, no one wants to do a loss-making business.

Reiner knew this. He knew that he relied on the prestige accumulated in the past and the oaths made by the vassals to mobilize them.

If there is no compensation for such a huge loss, then sooner or later the vassals will have to alienate themselves.

Reiner patted everyone on the shoulder one by one, and then said: "Everyone, you are all my pride. You have proved your loyalty and bravery on the battlefield, and I am very pleased!"

"Please believe me, as your lord, I will never let you pay in vain! You will definitely get enough in return!"

Rainer spoke loudly, but the vassals still looked suspiciously.

They don't know where the Earl will compensate him, even if he pays for it himself, so many vassals will pay compensation, even if the Earl has money, he probably can't afford it.

Therefore, they just took Reinard's words as comforting words, and they didn't take them seriously.

He thought in his heart that if such things happen in the future, he must organize the Earl, and even if he can't stop it, he must resist his authority and stop getting involved in these things.

Lai An saw their thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are the winners in this battle, and the losers lose everything!"

"Morsh's cattle, sheep, and clansmen are all ours!" Having said this, Lena paused, and then said: "Didn't you hear that just now? Our next target is the Agul tribe!"

"The Agur tribe is a big tribe. At least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep are in their hands. Their main force has been defeated by us, so those cattle and sheep are our future property. It’s just cattle and sheep, and those prairie people will become our slaves!”

Looking at the astonished and shocked expressions on the faces of the vassals, Leiner said with a smile: "So, isn't this enough to compensate for your losses? Don't worry, as your lord, I will never let you suffer , will lead you, and lead the entire northern border to become stronger!"

Listening to Reiner's words, although the vassals still had some hesitation in their eyes, they could all see a hint of surprise and anticipation from each other's expressions.

If it is really as the earl said, then he will simply get rich!

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, that is to say, even if you share it with all the vassals, you can get thousands of cattle and sheep, not to mention slaves, and so many cattle, sheep and slaves Compared with it, what is it to pay the casualties of some soldiers?

After cleaning the battlefield, Leiner did not choose to let the soldiers rest, but simply rested for half an hour and then continued to march towards the south.

At this time, Samuza also came back with his prairie cavalry. He led the remaining hundreds of cavalry to pursue the enemy, and returned after chasing for a certain distance.

After receiving the news that Leiner continued to move south, he followed the large force without any hesitation.

But speaking of it, the number of troops advancing this time will be much smaller. Leiner's own army plus the troops of the vassals can barely reach 2,500 people, including Samuza's cavalry , the team is only 3,000 people.

At around eight o'clock at night, Leiner led the army to the outskirts of the Morsh camp.

I saw that the place was already vigilant, countless prairie cavalry were cruising outside the camp, and inside the camp there were also many guards as if they were facing an enemy, and the lights were brightly lit.

Seeing this, Reiner couldn't help but smiled, Moersh must have returned with his defeated soldiers, otherwise it wouldn't have happened.

With contempt, Leiner waved his hand casually and said: "Crush them! Don't just focus on capturing prisoners, kill all those who resist, and kill all those who are over forty years old!"

"Samza, let your people go forward and help us receive these cattle, sheep and prisoners!"

Rainer is not afraid of his corruption, he can't and dare not!
