An uncontrolled melee lasted until late at night before it came to an end. In fact, Sejialan had already decided to let the soldiers leave the battlefield at dusk. She did not want to continue to accompany Beieri crazy. At this time, Beieri It seemed that he suddenly woke up and issued an order with the same meaning as Sejialan. However, it was from dusk until late at night that the armies of both sides truly broke away from contact. This shows how chaotic the battlefield was.
Sejialan is familiar with how to use tactics to minimize her losses. In Gorman's field, she can even win a big victory with zero casualties. But on the real battlefield, her control of the battle situation His grasp was obviously not as good as Beeri's. Beeri had been trying his best to make the battlefield more chaotic, but Sejialan worked hard to change the chaotic situation. Facts have proved that Beeri was the winner and he got his wish. All Sejialan can do is to constantly fill up the reserves to prevent the entire front from collapsing due to low morale. This kind of thing can be done by any general. In other words, Sejialan It didn't play any surprising role from beginning to end.
Se Jialan has seen dead people, but never so many dead people. The woods in the valleys around the battlefield have long been destroyed, and densely packed corpses are lined up from the top of the valley to the bottom of the valley. On the valley road that is more than ten miles long, there are even more corpses. There are layers upon layers, and in some places, there is even a small mountain of corpses. With the bright moonlight, Sejialan can clearly see all of this.
Both sides sent thousands of unarmed soldiers. Their mission was to clear the battlefield, carry the corpses of their companions, and rescue wounded soldiers who might be mixed in with the corpses. The madness of the day had disappeared. Soldiers from both sides met head-on, without even raising their eyelids. They passed by expressionlessly. It was an unwritten rule not to attack the soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield. Failure to follow the rules benefits no one.
The once flat valley road now turned into a swamp. The so-called swamps are all composed of the flesh and blood of humans and horses, usually. Blood dries quickly, but when too much blood dries, the power of nature becomes a little embarrassed, not to mention that the valley is full of corpses. The blood they shed collects at the bottom of the valley like a stream, causing the entire valley to become deformed. It became a blood pool hell! Every time the soldiers took a step in the swamp, there would be a strange croaking sound under their feet. This accidentally stepped on a severed limb. That one accidentally kicked a head, and the sudden sound always startled people. The moans and screams from people who woke up from coma are not terrifying. The scariest thing is to step on it. The trampled corpse screamed and got up. It makes people feel creepy from the depths of their souls.
There is also a strange odor permeating the valley, which makes people feel nauseous. A doctor once said that human flesh and blood will not rot so quickly. As for the strange odor left on the battlefield, most of it comes from the undigested or digested substances that are sprayed out after the human body's large and small intestines are attacked. . Of course, neither the soldiers of the Mao Empire nor the soldiers of the Shansha Empire have a hard time understanding the science of the human body. They only know that this place is hell for them! They want to vomit, they want to escape, they want to howl with all their strength, they are even willing to fall into coma, but before all this happens, they must first complete their tasks, otherwise, they will also become part of hell. , Military law will never show mercy!
Art? Sejialan remembered what Gorman often said, war is an art! But facing the blood pool hell in front of him, Sejialan suddenly wanted to change Gorman's words. If war is also an art, then it must be the most vicious and cruel art created by intelligent creatures! But... revenge must still be avenged. She has done so much and endured so much just to kill the murderers one by one. For her own ideals, she can enjoy or endure everything that is useful to her, even if No matter how vicious and cruel that thing is.
Sejialan walked towards the commander's tent with heavy steps. She knew that today's battle had dealt a fatal blow to the morale of the soldiers of the Shansha Empire. Originally, the soldiers came all the way to pursue them happily with the purpose of making achievements. Who would have thought that Bailey would give them a taste of hell, and the frightened people would not know how many of them there would be. But the most important question now is not to boost morale, but what should we do tomorrow? If Bailey still wants to compete with her, can she accept it? The Maao Empire's strategic resources are much richer than what Sejialan has. If we continue to fight like today, all the soldiers will be wiped out in less than ten days!
Sejialan felt a headache, just like a swordsman who was extremely confident in his swordsmanship challenging a barbarian. But at the beginning of the challenge, the referee suddenly made a new rule. The two opponents could only use their fists. One punches the other first, and then the other punches back. There is no trick, just keep punching to see who falls first. Sejialan felt that he was the helpless swordsman.
The atmosphere in the handsome tent seemed very solemn. Menjing, who still had blood stains on his face, sat slumped in his chair and remained silent. In today's battle, the Iron Guard Knights suffered heavy casualties, with the casualty rate exceeding two-fifths. Moreover, when the expedition was about to begin, many old guys who were rarely seen came to the door politely and asked Menjing to take more care of their nephews. But in that chaotic situation where there were no soldiers and no generals, he could take care of them. who? Now he didn't even dare to count how many people he had lost, and he knew vaguely in his heart that no matter whether this battle was won or lost, he, the legion commander, would most likely end up doing it.
Sejialan walked to his seat, took a few steps, coughed slightly, and was about to speak. Suddenly, the scream of a gryphon came from outside the tent, and then a strong wind blew through the tent. Apparently there was a lion. The griffin beast tried to land outside the handsome tent, and then a gryphon knight did not wait for a report, pushed aside the soldiers outside the door, rushed in, and shouted: "General, it's bad! Mioric led the Royal Guards Attacked Taniguchi, and... there are mercenaries from the Grand Alliance, general, we have been surrounded!"
Sejialan was stunned on the spot, but Menjing roared angrily: "Nonsense! We are still fighting with the Holy City Guards today. Are they all ghosts?"
"Miocic... Miocic has never appeared!" a general said with a trembling voice.
The tent became silent. Indeed, Miocic never appeared. If he had appeared, the casualties of the Iron Guard Knights would probably be even higher. However, what made them feel lucky at dusk turned out to be at this moment. Nightmare! If possible, they really hope they heard it wrong, and Mioric also appeared on the battlefield during the day, even if it is to completely annihilate the Iron Guard Knights!
"Does the news belong?" Sejialan asked in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.
"It's absolutely true!" The gryphon knight said with a sad face: "General, think about it, we haven't received any news from the rear for several days?"
"What do you gryphon knights do?" Menjing roared, "Why didn't you send someone back to conduct reconnaissance!"
"Lord Menjing, I sent many knights back, but... the druids of the Eagle Tribe have already served for the Mao Empire. As many knights as I sent out, they disappeared. This time, I personally led the team back, only to find out The back has been occupied by them!"
"Is the terrain at the entrance of the valley normal?" Sejialan said slowly.
"Normal? General, I don't understand what you mean."
"I mean, was there ever a magical explosion at Taniguchi?"
"No. Se Jialan punched the table hard. The table collapsed and the contents on it were scattered all over the floor. The expressions of the generals in the tent changed again. They had never seen Se Jialan lose his composure like this before.
"Is there really no change?" Sejialan asked again. She needed to confirm whether the magic weapon she relied on as her trump card fell into the hands of Mioric and An Fei.
"Certainly not, General."
"General, what should we do?" a general shouted loudly. When things have evolved to this point, the strategic intention of the Mao Empire is already known to everyone, which is to lure them into the Hengduan Valley, attack them from both sides, and completely eliminate them. The main force of the Shansha Empire!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Se Jialan, their eyes full of expectation.
The handsome tent of the Mahouti team was not as lively as Sejialan's. There were only two people, one was Beeri and the other was Stig. Stig casually threw a letter on the table and whispered: "Thor said that after a few gryphon knights ran away, Sejialan should know that Taniguchi has been captured, but it will take some time for his magic circle to be formed. He asked you..."
"I understand that I will buy him time, and I tried my best today." Beeri said with a smile.
"Today?" Stig rolled his eyes: "Don't say Sejialan already knows that Taniguchi has fallen. Even if she doesn't know yet, you will scare her away if you are so crazy!"
"In this regard, you are not as good as me." Beeri smiled: "Many people think that the laws of military use are ever-changing and difficult to understand, but for me, the art of war is human nature! Sejialan only knows the art of war. , but she doesn’t understand human nature. She is just a little girl after all, and her height...is just that.”
"Haha... I wonder who was defeated by a little girl in the sky?"
"This is another advantage I have over Se Jialan." Beeri wasn't angry at all: "I can fail, but Se Jialan can't. She will lose everything if she fails once!"
"Don't say it too perfectly, Saul reminded us again and again, let us be careful about Gorman." Stig said slowly.
"Gorman..." Bailey frowned.
