Chapter 403: Collection (1/2)
The Chapter 430 of the Dawn Sword Body is different from the aristocratic coalition that can only escape between the wilderness and the hills. The Cecil Combat Corps has always been able to receive support from the mainland as well as the Leslie and Kant regions, although Due to road and traffic restrictions, these support is not timely, but in this situation, these support is enough for the soldiers to take a breather and rotate.
On the afternoon of the tenth day, the Byron Knight led a thousand troops from Cecil's homeland and a large amount of supplies to the west, and the first and second mixed corps led by the Philip Knights merged smoothly, and when they merged, Val De Peric is leading the soldiers of the Second Corps to bundle the hordes of aristocratic coalition prisoners and send them to the rear.
Byron found the Phillips who led the team: "I brought in more 'convincing' light cannonballs and replacement accelerator rail assemblies saying that you look good here."
Due to the multi-day marching, Philip Knight had a bit of tiredness on his face, but the spirit was still high: "These things come when food can be used to carry dry food and seized from the enemy, but the shells are really expensive. of."
Byron looked up and looked at the captives who were numb, stiff, and tied to their hands. From the mental state of these captives, he knew that the chase was coming to an end.
"To make these people live as much as possible, this is what the lord said," he said to Philip. "The vast majority of the nobility coalitions are farmers and hunters recruited everywhere, as well as various serf soldiers and slaves. People are labor."
"I know," Philip nodded. "But to be honest... the enemy is running more and more scattered, especially after entering the open area. Several nobles led the team to flee in different directions. We used artillery to destroy and intercept part of it. But there are still a few troops rushing into the forest to the west. I think at least one quarter to one third of the enemies have escaped."
"This situation is expected by the lord," Byron nodded. "We have powerful artillery and ray guns, but after all, the number is limited. It is unrealistic to destroy or compile all the enemies. But don't worry, I Before the departure, the lord said that the nobles had castles and real estates that they could not afford. They could not flow forever, and one day we would solve those who ran away."
"I hope so," Philip took a deep breath and looked up at the long, almost invisible captive team. "After the war, the southern part of the kingdom became a whole." ......"
On the twelfth day of the pursuit, the ranks of knights and mages, composed of the core superpowers of the nobility coalition, and the aristocrats who supervised the war finally collapsed.
The aristocratic smugglers who lacked organization and discipline could not have persisted to this day. The reason why they have been able to escape all the time is that the extraordinary people in the coalition are still maintaining the situation with strong willpower and deterrence. But when the will of these extraordinary people also reached the limit, the collapse of the entire coalition team was almost instantaneous.
The aristocratic coalition forces began to surrender in pieces, and they were surrendered by the knights, mages and even nobles.
In fact, according to the general law, the surrender of the nobles should be more easily. According to the "rules" of the usual aristocratic war, the survivors who surrendered on the battlefield will receive treatment in accordance with their status. As a bargaining chip, their lives will be safe. It is guaranteed and even sent to the victor's castle by the courtesy, becoming a guest, but the horrible way of fighting the Cecils and the style of Govin Cecil's failure to abide by the rules of the aristocrats scared those people. Courage, they simply did not dare to hand over their lives to the hands of the Cecil soldiers.
But when both physical strength and will are exhausted to the limit, even more concerns and fears will prevent them from climbing up the ground and moving on.
The aristocrats who lost their fighting spirit, including the Knights and the recruits, stayed on the plains like scared goats. Most of them ate the last bite of food. Even the horses that had been riding and the rats caught on the road had been taken by them. They used to hunger for a long time. They could not lie down and sleep for many days. They could not eat and drink safely. The brains were full of rumbling sounds of shells. These people had dozens of piles, some hundreds of people, scattered. The earth is everywhere, and what the Cecil soldiers have to do is to gather around the vast plains to gather these people, and then put the ropes in their hands and let them tie themselves up.
Wald Peric and the Second Combat Corps he led were mainly responsible for gathering the captives and escorting them to the rear. The number of prisoners was so large that the people responsible for the escorting were not the same as the number of prisoners they escorted. They don’t have to worry about the captives fleeing halfway through the road. Those who have already lost their rebellious will in the multi-day escape, and even if they resist, the unarmed recruiters can’t cope with the ray guns and melts in the hands of Cecil’s soldiers. sword.
With more and more prisoners, the battle line is getting longer and longer, and a sly and unexpected situation has emerged: Cecil is understaffed.
The **** team of the Second Combat Corps began to have a shortage. Even Wald allowed the Knights to transfer a reserve of 1,000 people from the Kant area to the front line to receive prisoners of war. It is not enough, not only enough to **** the required manpower, even even The tens of thousands of aristocratic recruits and prisoners of war in the plains were also stretched.
When Philip and Wald's two orthodox knights were stunned by this unexpected embarrassing situation, the Byron Knight volunteered to bring a team of people to the south to help.
Philip Knight, who was very vocal about Byron’s lack of knighthood, but he had to admit that the old-born colleague of the mercenary had always had a brilliant new idea when he solved some unexpected situations. Although sometimes his ideas are also very eye-catching, overall it is still very problem-solving.
After waiting for some time, Philip and Wald waited for the Knights who came back from the rear. He still took the team he had taken with him, but there was not even one person.
On the plains of the increasingly chaotic Hosman region, Philip looked at Perron with amazement as if he had failed: "Is the lord not giving you a person? The training can also be..."
"I haven't returned to Cecil, otherwise I can come back so fast," Byron said proudly. "I went to Leslie and saw the Viscount Andrew..."
"And then?" Philip asked in confusion, not looking at Behr, but he couldn't see any support except for a group of people and many carriages that Byron took and brought back. "Is the person sent by the Viscount Andrew still behind?"
"I borrowed five thousand axes," Byron pointed to the carriages that he brought. "After that, the Viscount Andrew sent people to send a batch of food for a temporary transition, but there was nothing else in Leslie. There are not many people on the side of the collar. They also help to watch the thousands of people who have been fished out of the Baishui River."
Philip didn't react at once: "Axe? What do you bring with five thousand axes?"
