Black Iron Crown

Chapter 480: Talking After the War

Reiner watched Earl Lorrance leading his central army back, a smile could not help appearing on his face, the war was considered to be over at this point.

Needless to say, the result of the war is nothing more than a complete victory.

The enemy's flanks, which were fighting fiercely with the light cavalry, also realized that the battle situation was wrong. The lords led their subordinates to retreat one after another. Even though they had gained a slight advantage in the battle situation, they still gave up.

Obviously, he has become an abandoned son of the Chinese army, no one wants to be abandoned like this, this is human nature.

"Get ready to pursue!" Reiner smiled and ordered to the heralds beside him.

The heralds took Rainer's order to inform the troops everywhere.

Needless to say, the light cavalry, they lost a lot when they fought the enemy hand-to-hand, but there were still more than 400 people left at this time, and they just waved their sabers or bows and arrows to pursue the enemy.

The knights were also chasing the enemy under the leadership of Earl Valas. Although the horses under their crotch were not strong in endurance, they only charged twice during the battle just now, and they still had a lot of energy left, so they simply went to chase the enemy .

Earl Ryland also discovered the situation on the battlefield in good time, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to quickly pursue the enemy in a melee formation.

The melee formation is the basic combat formation that Leiner has set up long ago. There are ten people in a team, and they are divided into three groups. The three people in each group support and cover each other. These three groups are also protected by the wisdom of the team officers. dispersion.

In this way, the soldiers got rid of the shackles of the formation and increased their running speed a lot. Such a formation is usually used for pursuit.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and Earl Lorrance led the Chinese army to retreat, which completely made the rest of the soldiers lose the courage to continue fighting.

They ran away, while Leiner's army chased after them, and there were even cases where a dozen people chased dozens of people.

Half an hour later, the pursuit ended. The enemy left more than 7,000 corpses and more than 1,000 prisoners here, and the battle was a complete victory.

After the battle, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield. Although everyone wanted to kill more enemies to gain merit and rewards, the enemies had already run away completely, and they couldn't catch up even if they chased them.

Earl Crick walked to Reiner's side in embarrassment. Although he had a smile on his face, it looked forced no matter how you looked at it.

Along with Earl Creek, there were three vassals of Leiner. Their army was depleted, and more than two-thirds of them were killed or injured.

They walked up to Reiner with sad faces without saying a word, but their faces were a little ugly.

Reiner sighed and said: "I will give you enough compensation, and I will give you more of the spoils on the battlefield!"

As he spoke, Reiner set his sights on Earl Creek, seeing that he was silent, he could only sigh and walk away slowly.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, Reiner said to Earl Creek: "Father-in-law, we should spread the news of victory at this time, and then find those people before and talk to them again!"

"What do you think?" Although Reiner's tone was asking, the meaning contained in it was needless to say.

Earl Crick nodded of course, his army had been disintegrated in the previous battle,

Now there are only more than 300 people left who can fight. Without strength, there is no right to speak. He can only obey Leiner's words.

The messengers left Creek Castle again with the letters and galloped in the direction of the various lords.

And Lena did not relax his vigilance, and ordered the light cavalry to patrol outside the city day and night, searching for the location of the enemy.

The losses on the battlefield were quickly sent to Leiner's hands. Seeing the death list in his hand, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although this battle looked dangerous and was fought very tragically, in fact, the enemy did not cause much loss of troops to itself.

Only ten of the four hundred Moreland sergeants were killed in battle, and the number of casualties of the heavy infantry was also successfully controlled within twenty.

On the contrary, the casualties of the knights and light cavalry were higher, but they were all controlled at 50 and 300 respectively.

The only ones who suffered heavy losses were the three vassals in charge of the left wing defense and the Earl of Creek.

Even the right wing in charge of the imperialist enemy's central army did not suffer unbearable losses.

The enemy army that was wiped out was more than five times the casualties on Leiner's side.

Thinking about it, Reiner's mood improved a lot.

Two days have passed, and the search area has reached 25 kilometers around Fort Creek, but there is still no trace of the enemy.

Listening to Tirihan's report to himself, he couldn't help frowning.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to talk to the enemy.

Now he just wants to go back to the north to support as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to waste time here any longer.

If Earl Lorrance let the lords return to their respective territories to stick to it, then it would definitely be a protracted matter for Reiner to kill the weeds.

Although he doesn't know the battle situation in the north, he is clear about the disadvantages in terms of military strength.

Introducing yourself here is simply the doctrine of the upstarts. If you don't have enough confidence, how can you do it casually.

If you want to push down all these lords one by one, you can't do it in two or three years.

Two or three years is long enough for the royal lords in the north to have their bones rotted away.

But if Reiner saw a good deal and took the army back to the north, he was also worried that the enemy would gather again to harm Earl Creek.

He now regards Earl Creek as his nail in the south. In the future, it will be up to him to win over and divide the lords in the south. If he loses him, it will be much more difficult to attack the south in the future.

He decided to have a word with these southern lords.

At the same time, the news that Leiner led the army to defeat the coalition forces of Earl Lorrance and others has spread throughout the south.

The other southern lords who were invited also came to Fort Creek with a small number of guards.

Although they had flatly rejected Leiner's request before, they wisely changed their minds when they saw Leiner's true strength.

"Haha, congratulations to your Grand Duke Reiner, you are the winner of this war!"

"Congratulations, Earl Creek, you have saved your territory!"

The southern lords complimented Leiner one by one. This clean victory allowed them to intuitively feel Leiner's military strength again after two years.

Reiner smiled and greeted these lords, but Wende and Lumbare were dissatisfied with this, and despised these lords very much.

They all know the attitude of this group of people before, and now that they are victorious, they are arrogant and respectful, so they will inevitably look down on them.

But Reiner understood their thoughts, and if he put himself in their position, he might not be able to make a better choice.

The southern lords gathered in the banquet hall of Fort Creek. Rainer and Earl Creek sat on the main seats. Everyone focused on these two people, waiting for their speeches.
