Since Daniel's Chinese army had more than 10,000 reinforcements brought by Higg, the situation immediately changed dramatically, and at first the mirror image of thunder eliminated a large number of griffons, which reduced the pressure on air defense a lot.

Sampu's mid-lane troops are actually more than 40,000 people, although they are the elite of the elite species, but they are less than Daniel's 60,000, plus most of the men and horses in the second echelon of Fuxing City stay in the middle lane, these are all veterans of Colenwa's subordinates, because Sampu attacked the Colenwa Department of Andalu Province and was cornered, he defected to Fuxing City, it can be said that these horses have a blood feud with Sampu, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than Daniel's first echelon in the middle lane.

And Higg brought more than 10,000 reinforcements from the left side, which made Daniel even more confident, relying on the terrain to maintain a confrontation situation in the middle lane. More than half of the crossbow chariot positions and catapult positions were still there, which could effectively stop the enemy's large-scale attack, so Daniel always maintained the most complete formation and did not give the enemy too many opportunities.

The fire of the battlefield to the east worried everyone, and no one knew what was happening where, until the patrol cavalry returned to report that the battle on the east was over and the defenders had won, and Daniel was relieved.

"Lord Marshal, quickly withdraw!" The marching staff officer hurriedly said to Samp, "The two wings are finished, and if you don't retreat, it's too late!" ”

"Where to retreat?" Samp said angrily, "The third war zone is over, we are finished, where else can we retreat?" ”

"Let's go back to Maslett City first!" The staff officer said, "We still have tens of thousands of people, and then gather some remnants, plus there are still thousands of defenders in the city, Fuxing City is also suffering heavy casualties, and we are unable to fight again, we may not be able to hold on to Masult City, wait for reinforcements, eliminate the Fifth Army, and we still have a chance to make a comeback and avenge today!" ”

"Hey, hey, comeback? With so many soldiers dead, how can Ben Shuai endure humiliation and steal his life, Ben Shuai will never take a step back! Sampu said angrily, "If you want to die, die with dignity!" ”

"Lord Marshal, we are defeated, retreat!" The marching staff officer continued to persuade, "If you continue to fight, it will be futile and meaningless, for the sake of more than 20,000 soldiers, and for the sake of retaining the last piece of land in the third theater, waiting for Your Majesty's reinforcements!" Otherwise, having lost the barrier of the province of Andalu, the 4th theater of operations will be completely exposed to the internal and external attacks of the 5th and 2nd Army Corps! Your Majesty's achievements in the first two years will be in vain! ”

"Ben Shuai is already determined to die, where can he care if the fourth war zone is against the enemy?" Sampu sneered, "Don't say it again, I've made up my mind, even if I die, I'll pull tens of thousands of Fuxing City defenders as backs!" ”

"Someone!" The marching staff officer was also furious, and shouted loudly, he knew that now was not the time for a dispute, Samp's brain was already hot, and his anger made him lose his mind, "Cover the retreat of Lord Marshal!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Sampu was furious, "Do you want to rebel and mutiny? Stand down for Ben Shuai! ”

"Ahh......h “

"Cover the retreat of Lord Marshal!" The adjutant said to the guards, then turned to the staff officer and said, "My lord, while the enemy has not yet gathered around, please lead the main force to retreat immediately, and I will lead the headquarters to cover you!" ”

"Or I'll stay, lead the troops, I'm not as good as you!" The staff officer shook his head and said.

"My lord, there's no time to argue!" The adjutant said, "I have committed the following crimes, offending the marshal, disobeying military orders, it is already a capital crime, it is better to die on the battlefield, please don't doubt, go quickly!" ”

……

"The enemy has been defeated, blow the trumpet of the charge, and the enemy cannot be allowed to escape!" Seeing the enemy retreating, Daniel shouted to the heralds.

"Yes, General!"

"Slow!" Lan Xian'er walked over, stopped Daniel, and said, "Poor Kou Mo chase, the enemy is not retreating, the enemy's retreat is orderly, there must be precautions, follow for the time being, don't increase casualties, these horses, keep them for the Fifth Legion to clean up slowly!" ”

"What?" Daniel said, "Don't chase? If they are allowed to run out of this hill and return to the city of Mithland, back to Maslett, there will be endless troubles! ”

"General, if Samp is eliminated, what's the point of reinforcements from the Fourth Theater?" Lan Xian'er said, "If the Fourth War Zone doesn't send reinforcements, how can we eliminate their reinforcements?" Isn't our careful planning going down the drain? ”

"I really don't understand!" Daniel said unhappily, "Eliminate or drive Samp out of Andalu Province, block the reinforcements of the Fourth War Zone out of the fortress, and the Fifth Army will have no problem controlling the entire Andalu Province, so that the Fifth Army can have its back to Fuxing City, why do you have to cause trouble and provoke the Fourth War Zone?" ”

"General, what is the purpose of our Fifth Legion?" Lan Xian'er said, "It's not for the territory of the third war zone, it's not for the elimination of Sampu's third war zone, our goal is Arad!" We now have the opportunity to weaken part of the strength of the Fourth Theater, why let this opportunity go, if they don't let them rush to reinforce, when the time comes, they will gather a large army to attack, even if we occupy Andalu Province, we will be very passive! With so many people dead in Fuxing City, if we achieve this result, it's not worth it, it's a failure of our strategy! ”

"Strategy? Eliminate Arad, how many more people will die? Daniel asked rhetorically, "A battle to defend Fuxing City will cost us hundreds of thousands of casualties, how many more than 100,000 more will we need to destroy Arad?" It is not the responsibility of Revival City to destroy Arad, it is Catherine's! ”

"What is the meaning of Fuxing City's existence, do you need me to say more?" Lan Xian'er said, "Fuxing City is to build a peaceful world, to establish a new order with the Jin Yuan Empire as an element, the entire new order, it is necessary to break all obstacles that prevent its growth, and war is the biggest obstacle to the growth of the Jin Yuan Empire!" We are not working for Catherine, we are for the revival city to have a peaceful and peaceful environment, and there is no threat to danger, and the threat of war in Arad makes us not have this condition! ”

"Since Fuxing City exists to eliminate war, then why do we still use the means of war to solve it?" "I don't think even if Denelson were still around, he wouldn't want Fuxing City to suffer another catastrophe like this!" ”

"We are doing this so that there will be no more wars in Fuxing City in the future, and I promise that there will not be any more wars in Fuxing City itself! This is the most direct, effective and fastest way to stop the war with war! "The civil war in Alasia has already involved too many problems, if we can't stop the continuation of this war in time, then more forces will be involved and become a big chaos in Middle-earth, and at that time, we will not be able to control it!" So, while this war has not yet fully expanded, solve the fundamental problem of Erathia! It is worth sacrificing our generation for the sake of the revival of the city's tomorrow! I think even if Denelson were still here, he would have agreed to sacrifice because he had already done it himself! ”

"No matter what you say, Fuxing City won't be involved in this war!" Daniel said, "At this point, Fuxing City has driven out the bandits, and there is no need to encroach on other people's territory, which is not in line with the neutral status of Fuxing City!" Moreover, the population of Fuxing City can't withstand such attrition, and as a general, I can't explain to the people of the whole city with so many casualties in this battle! Since Fuxing City wants to be a messenger of peace, it should not be plunged into a deeper war! ”

"Good!" Lan Xian'er said, "I promise you, Fuxing City will no longer participate in the subsequent war acts, but part of the army of Fuxing City must be stationed in Misland City, and Misland City will be divided into the territory of Fuxing City, which was negotiated between Hig and Guayada before, and more Misland City, Fuxing City will have a more complete defense system in depth, and it will also provide more land and population resources for the development of Fuxing City in the future!" ”

"Will Catherine agree?" Daniel asked, "Even if Arad is eliminated, Catherine will not allow us to divide his territory at will!" ”

"Hmph, she will agree, she can't occupy it herself, and she can't take it from us, her best step is to agree to the merger of Misland into Fuxing City!" Lan Xian'er said, "In exchange for a small city for such a large territory as the Third War Zone, she won't be unable to understand this account, even if she wants to settle accounts after the autumn in the future, as long as our Fuxing City develops well and the Fifth Legion is strong enough, she will not be able to do it at that time!" Daniel, not participating in the war does not mean that we are weak, we will not be soft, the interests that should be taken, Fuxing City sacrificed more than 100,000 people, is it just for others to pick the fruit? And with such a great military feat, could Catherine dare to raise troops to fight after she gained power? ”

"Alright, we've made an appointment!" Daniel said, "The army of Fuxing City will only advance to Misland City, and will never move forward, and the rest will be left to the Fifth Legion!" ”

"Good!" Lan Xian'er said, "We don't want Fuxing City to intervene too much, and the Fifth Legion doesn't need Fuxing City's material assistance, but Mislan has gathered a large amount of Samp's materials, which are owned by the Fifth Legion, this is not Fuxing City's materials, others can't say anything, and Fuxing City supports us in disguise!" ”

Daniel nodded and said, "I'll gather my troops, follow behind Samp, and enter Misland City tomorrow morning!" ”

……

More than half of the 50,000 regular soldiers were killed or wounded, more than half of the 180,000 reserve troops were killed or wounded, more than 30,000 volunteers who volunteered to help defend the city were killed or wounded, and more than 10,000 civilian casualties were killed, with a total casualties of more than 170,000 people, and a large number of crossbow chariots and catapults were heavily damaged. In addition, the forest resources of the northern hills were burned, and a large amount of materials and equipment were consumed. If you add the follow-up pension, according to the standards of Fuxing City, this is definitely an astronomical amount. No matter how rich Fuxing City is, it is just a city, and it cannot afford such war attrition, let alone other responsibilities. How can Daniel, who is in power in the military and politics of Fuxing City, not be heartbroken? This loss, perhaps it will take many years for Fuxing City to recover, is contrary to his idea of quickly establishing the Jin Yuan Empire.
