People were in panic, and there were several corpses hanging outside the city wall. It was said that the garrison commander of Yajin City, in order to calm the morale of the army, beheaded a few defeated soldiers who spread the news of the defeat indiscriminately.

When Du Wei arrived, the city was on alert. Fortunately, Du Wei's battleship had hoisted the flag. Otherwise, these human soldiers who had never seen a flying battleship might have thought that those monster races were coming to kill them.

When Du Wei's tulip flag arrived in the city, it finally injected a shot in the arm into this frightened city!

The name Tulip Duke is really loud and prestigious, and it can also bring people a sense of security.

There had been an order before, and the city had prepared barracks and the commander's mansion to welcome Du Wei's reinforcements from the north. Du Wei's battleship landed in the commander's mansion. Naturally, the soldiers and civilians in the city were extremely surprised by the battleship, but when

After learning that there were hundreds of magicians in this flying battleship, Du Wei deliberately let it out, and everyone in the city immediately felt at ease!

Now that's good! Hundreds of magicians! With so many magicians here, you don't have to worry about those monsters coming!

The Griffin Knight was placed in a separate military camp by Du Weian, and he also sent 300 of his own guards to guard the perimeter. No casualties were allowed in or out.

Later, Du Wei ordered all the two thousand cavalry in the city to be sent out, in teams of ten, carrying the imperial flag and his own tulip flag, out of Yajin City, and searching all the way to the north and east and west sides.

Their mission was to collect the defeated armies that had collapsed after the fall of the frontline fortress. Du Wei's order was very simple: anyone who escaped from the frontline, no matter which army they belonged to, whether they were from the Storm Legion or the local garrison,

Or from the Navy... If you see anyone, bring them all back!

In order to worry that some defeated soldiers would run away in fear of punishment. After all, the empire's military laws are still very strict on the punishment of defeat. Soldiers are not counted. If you are a general or above, if you have the responsibility of defending the city, once the city is lost,

, those who lead a fight to the death but are defeated will, depending on the seriousness of the case, be severely punished and even be beheaded directly!

The news Du Wei sent out was an order issued in the name of his own Duke Tulip: No matter the military rank, no matter which unit they belong to, as long as they return to Yajin City, they will not be held responsible for the defeat!

Two thousand cavalrymen set off separately, and in less than a day, they slowly brought back a large number of deserters.

Sitting in Yajin City, Du Wei ordered the 20,000 reserve logistics troops in the city to distribute weapons and go up to the city wall to prepare for war. On the other hand, he also prepared a military camp to accommodate the defeated army and a supply of food and supplies.

He also sent several griffon knights to patrol and guard around Yajin City.

This chaotic scene lasted for two full days. Yajin City was too close to the front line. It was less than four hundred miles away. With a fast horse, it could be reached in a day and a night. During these two days, one after another

Groups of defeated armies regrouped here. These armies had different numbers and formations. Some soldiers could not find their commanders, and some officers could not find their troops.

In this situation, Du Wei simply did not stop and reorganized the defeated troops who were arriving one after another.

Although this defeat was tragic, the actual situation was that the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line was not as tragic as imagined. The main reason for this defeat was the sudden surprise attack of a large number of dragons, which blinded the humans. Then the dragons took the opportunity to attack

Chaos was caused everywhere in the city. Taking advantage of the chaos, the city gate was opened, plunging the army that had been tired for many days into complete chaos.

When the orcs entered the city, the defenders lost the advantage of the city wall and were helpless in the street fighting.

It can be said that this was a rout, but it was not a battle of annihilation. The hundreds of thousands of troops were not really in the city, but only 20,000 or 30,000. Most of them were broken into the city by the enemy while they were resting in the middle of the night.

I was panicked by the news. After resisting randomly for a while, I saw that the sky was full of behemoth dragons, the city was on fire, and the orcs were pouring into the city. This chaotic scene triggered the bombing of the camp, and as a result, they collapsed and fled.

Du Wei knew that in the wars of the Cold Weapon Age, such incidents of bombing camps or inexplicable retreats were not too rare. He could not blame the Storm Legion for being too useless. After all, on the battlefield, such inexplicable incidents were unprecedented.

If what I saw happened suddenly, whoever it was would probably be stunned.

For example, the "Battle of Feishui" in the history of previous lives, etc., wars in the cold weapon era, such examples are not uncommon.

After a few busy days, the rebel army was gathered in one by one. The number of troops stationed in the city gradually increased from the original 20,000 to nearly 100,000.

These days, what makes Rang finally feel relieved is that he is worried that those criminal monster races will take the opportunity to march in. After all, there are not many troops in Yajin City, and they are all second-line logistics reserve troops. Although the defeated troops were gradually gathered in later, those who had just experienced

After a rout, even the organization was completely broken up, and the chaotic troops had to be reorganized for a period of time before they could regain their combat effectiveness.

If the criminals continued to go south at this time, even Du Wei had to admit in private: If things really happened like that, then he would probably have no choice but to flee south with his troops.

After all, he is not a god. He only has the fighting power of five hundred cavalry and several hundred magicians who can be trusted. He can rely on such a small number of people to stop the army of sinners from going south, unless he is really determined to fight to the death and gather a few

A strong Saint-level man, fighting desperately in Yajin City, might have a slight chance of holding on.

But if it develops into a holy-level battlefield, then the holy-level strength among the sinners may not be something that I can compete with now. At least, I will never be able to stop Luo Xue alone, even if I put Hussein and Rodrigo

Even with all Si's efforts, they couldn't beat Luoxue.

It's a pity... I don't know where that guy Bai Hechou has gone. That guy seems to have no interest in such a great and noble mission as "protecting the human world".

Fortunately, the crime seemed satisfied with capturing the fortress and had no intention of going south.

When the griffin knights were patrolling, they would occasionally encounter orc wolf cavalry in the wild from a distance. However, those wolf cavalry seemed to have received strict orders from the orcs. When they saw the gryphon knights in the sky from a distance, they immediately retreated and never refused.

near.

In a few days, Du Wei was busy in the dark, and he hurriedly reorganized the 70,000 to 80,000 defeated troops who had gathered back. However, there was an extreme lack of senior officers at the general level. In the fierce battle that destroyed the city, senior generals were

Officers are the only force capable of resisting the Dragon Clan's surprise attack. A large number of high-ranking generals died in battle while relying on their strong personal force to fight the Dragon Clan to the death. The reason why these armies were defeated was also due to the fact that too many officers were killed at the end of the battle.

, related to the lack of strong command.

Almost counting the days with his fingers, Du Wei sent out gryphon knights to patrol around every day, while waiting nervously.

Finally, on the sixth day, reinforcements arrived.

When he was the commander's reinforcements heading north, local garrison troops from the northern region gradually came to Yajin City to assemble, and 14,000 reinforcements from the waterway also arrived.

Finally, on the tenth day, Yaluoer and others from the Military Academy Department also arrived at Yajin City with 16,000 reinforcements. This was because they got the news of the defeat of the front line halfway. Yaluoer was in desperation.

He forcibly increased the marching speed, even discarding a large amount of baggage and rushing on to get there ahead of time.

Du Wei was very satisfied with Yalor's decisive decision: At this time, the baggage is no longer important, we must rush to the front line as soon as possible, otherwise, if even Yajin City falls, then the south of the defense line, all the way to the central and inner hinterland of the empire

The large territory will no longer be defended! The criminals can even drive straight in and drink in the Lancang Canal!

Reinforcements from all walks of life arrived, and more than 150,000 troops were gathered in the small Yajin City. The number of people was overwhelming. Seeing that the imperial troops were stationed outside the city, the people in the city gradually settled down.

Come to your senses.

But at this time, the biggest mystery in Du Wei's mind was: Since they had conquered the eastern fortress, why didn't the criminals immediately go south? Why did they give up such a good opportunity?!

This victory on the eastern front was obviously directly commanded by Luo Xue of the Elf tribe! With Luo Xue’s wisdom, he would not fail to see such a good opportunity!!
