Chapter 76 Alone
"In that case... there should be no chance." Ashu Rufat said softly.
It seems that in all military records (whether human or elves) regard the victory of the less as the highest achievement of military art. It is precisely because of this that it is not easy to defeat the more with the less. In fact, if there is no extremely favorable terrain, or there are essential differences in logistics, soldiers and officers, otherwise, victory with less is purely a myth.
"Let's go." He said, but in fact he didn't move.
"Prince!" There seemed to be something strange in Kay's voice.
"I said, don't call me prince. Call me Ash Rufate... This is not a pseudonym, it is my real name."
"Is there no room for recovery? Let's warn them..." Kaiyi asked
"It's too late to go." Ashu Rufate replied calmly. He knew this was cruel, but it was true. "If I had retreated last night, maybe it would be too late... but now... if I was not wrong, Gales would definitely speed up the march. I believe he would lead his army before dawn... Now there is a great possibility that the forwards have begun to fight. I definitely don't have time to go and warn them."
"But...but..." Kay's voice revealed a hint of despair. "Doesn't there be any chance?"
"Unless the commander of Truzi made something extremely stupid." Ashurufat sighed. "But I think that a general who sets up a clever trick to lure the enemy like this should not make any particularly stupid mistakes when he gets the results. I know that Garce is also an experienced general, but..."
"Master, your heart is shaking." Carrie said in his mind. "Please note that you have nothing to do with the Elf Army anymore. You must know that they exiled you by themselves!"
"Prince, I know Garce made a mistake, but those soldiers have nothing to do with this! They were gathered because of your name! As a general, do you want to abandon them?" Kay said anxiously.
"What can I do?" Ash Rufate replied. "It's too late now!"
Ashu Rufate could imagine the situation on the battlefield. Just like all the elves, Gars would definitely organize the most tenacious resistance. However, the disparity in combat power between the two sides made him have no chance to win at all. Gars might do his best to find the suitable terrain, organize troops skillfully, or set effective traps during battles, or even accurately grasp every opportunity that can be used... But no matter how hard he tried, the general of the dark elf did not need any command skills. He just needed to continuously apply pressure on the front line firmly and slowly, and he would definitely crush the elves' resistance.
"Prince, you can't give up like this anyway!" Kai suddenly knelt down, not the kind of half-kneeling that the soldiers understood, but the whole person kneeled down in a very solemn posture.
Ashu Rufate now knows that kneeling down is a very high etiquette among the elves and an extremely humble act. And since he met Kay, he seems to have never seen Kay treat him any kind of courtesy. The most time is just a verbal thank you.
"What do you mean, Kay?"
"Anyway, we must do something!" Kay raised his head and said firmly. "I know you must have something to do."
"Carrie, what does that mean?" Ashu Rufat asked Carrie in his mind. "She thought I could do something alone?"
"Master, this situation is the same as what you encountered in Eriber..." Carrie replied. "When you are desperate, any intelligent creature will try to believe what you want to believe. A drowning person will even catch a floating straw in despair... Although this behavior has no meaning, it meets psychological needs. In this regard, Master, you are the same."
"Do you want to abandon the soldiers who followed you all the way?" Kay stared at Ashu Rufate.
"I didn't abandon them, they abandoned me." Ashu Rufate had to correct it.
"They did not abandon you." Kaiyi was not shaken at all. "It was you who abandoned them. You knew in your heart that if you chose to resist at that time, then most of the soldiers would stand on your side, even if they were facing the Phoenix Guards! It was you who abandoned them..."
She stared at Ashu Rufate and noticed clearly that the other party's face changed. Ashu Rufate seemed to want to refute, but in the end she just moved her lips a few times and sent out a few meaningless syllables.
"Master, you'd better forget it." Carrie said in his mind. "If you have hundreds or thousands of soldiers on hand, maybe you can try it. But now you are the only one, at most, with Kay without weapons and armor, what can you do? Don't you really think you can sweep the thousands of troops by yourself? This is a battle between tens of thousands of troops. Please remember when you led the Greenskin army. When both sides had a hundred troops, personal courage was a very important factor, or even a decisive factor. But as long as the front-line combat troops of both sides reached more than a thousand, especially in a high morale, then personal courage would become an optional embellishment, which was extremely difficult to change the overall situation. In addition, the army does not only have hand-to-hand combat, long-range weapons, war machinery and magic, and there are many ways to deal with you. Besides, you are not an elf, and there is no need to worry about the elf's life or death."
"You're right," Ash Rufate replied slowly. "I'm not an elf..."
...
"Um... the fight is very good." Lord Siris stood on a small high ground and looked at the battlefield ahead. At this time, the battle between the two armies was in a stalemate. Overall, there was a victory or defeat between each other and it was difficult to distinguish between the upper and lower levels. Sometimes a group of soldiers from the Shenwu Elves defeated the enemy on the opposite side and drove them backwards. Sometimes it was the dark elves who collapsed the offensive of the Shenwu Elves, forcing them to retreat. On this battlefield, the sound of killing was shocking, and the soldiers of the two armies were fighting with deep blood hatred.
"Our stupid cousins have found a good burial place for themselves." He teased in a casual tone. The other party's reaction was faster than him. After these Yasurs discovered the enemy who was waiting for him, their first reaction was to retreat. After they found that they could not escape from the pursuit, they simply stopped in a relatively narrow position and set up a formation against the difficult-to-pass rocks and thorns.
In this way, Lord Sirius could not use his superior army to surround the enemy. I have to say that Prince Ashurufat is somewhat smart.
Lord Siris's eyes remained on the left-wing front. Here, the White Lion Warrior's policy was like a solid rock, allowing the Dark Elf superior army to charge repeatedly without retreating. Not only that, several White Lion Warriors also launched clever and sharp counterattacks many times, forcing the entire square formation to collapse more than once. If the Dark Elf hadn't had the Dark Elf advantage in numbers, the White Lion Warriors might have defeated the other side.
"Lord, you should launch a general attack!" Akalina made a suggestion beside him. The witch's eyes were viciously staring at the white lion warriors. Although it was always a happy thing to kill Yasuol, it was the white lion warriors to kill which kind of Yasuol is the happiest one. Lord Siris' army had a whole team of witches, and Akalina was their captain. Akalina knew very well that her subordinates could not wait to cover her body with the blood of the white lion warriors. In fact, she couldn't wait. When she thought of killing these enemies wearing white lion skins and dyeing their white lion skins red with their blood, Akalina felt an unspeakable excitement.
"General Attack? Those Yasurs still keep their backs." Lord Siris replied indifferently. "Why, do you want to deal with those white lion warriors?"
Although the number of dark elves fighting at this time exceeded twice that of the Divine Martial Elves, Lord Siris still had many reserve troops.
"If the Lord gives an order, we will be happy to accept it."
"Okay, go and do what you want to do." Lord Siris ordered lazily. He watched Akalina's back disappear and muttered softly.
"Master, do you think it's wrong?" beside him, his servant, the dark elf named Loki, came up quickly.
"Nothing is wrong," replied Lord Siris. "To be honest, I don't like witches very much, but I hate these white lion warriors even more. It must be a pleasant thing to watch the fight between them - it's good no matter who wins, of course, it's better to die together."
In a blink of an eye, the witches rushed into the battlefield. The archers of the Shenwu Elves fired a wave of arrows here, but there were almost no few witches falling down. The dark elves troops in front retreated to the side and gave way out, making the witches pounce from the front towards the White Lion Warrior's position like a wave of destruction.
It looked like a wave of darkness that was about to swallow everything rushed towards an unswerving white rock. In the blink of an eye, the two policies were already tightly stuck together, and the witches and the white lion warriors were fighting bloodied and fighting, while the other dark elf warriors retreated and left the battle. On the one hand, this was the order of Lord Sirius, and on the other hand, the dark elf all knew that the witches were a bunch of lunatics. If they were unhappy, they would attack their own people at any time.
The two sides seemed evenly matched for a while and were in a stalemate, but Lord Sirius knew very well that the White Lion Warriors had experienced a fierce battle that was not short, while the witches had been raising their energy and were full of energy. The White Lion Warriors tried to launch a raid at this time, but were concentratedly shot by the dark elf crossbow, and a chariot lost control and fell on the battlefield. The battle lion pulling the cart and the warriors in the cart were all filled with arrows.
It seems that there is no problem here... Lord Siris shifted his attention to the other side of the chariot. He saw a team of warriors of the Divine Martial Elf who seemed extremely outstanding. They had just defeated a dark elves square and caught up with the escaped enemies with agility. Taking advantage of their chaotic opportunity, they cut all the defeated soldiers before the enemy reinforcements arrived.
