Chapter 113: After the War of Annihilation
Since the ambush had been internally determined before this, and long before the arrival of the Lancester Imperial Army, Sun Lin's troops had already made a series of preparations, so when Lancet 12 and many nobles fled, and most of the soldiers were either captured or killed and roasted alive, the soldiers of the Sunset Empire immediately launched a firefighting operation, but seriously, this firefighting operation was meaningless. Because once again, when Sun Lin decided to attack with fire, he asked the forest axe soldiers to dig a fire barrier in the ambush circle, and all the combustible plants in the fire barrier were clear, although this fire barrier was not wide, not even half a meter, but the belt was increased to more than 5 meters wide under the expansion of the Yoman longbowmen after the war, so in the end, the fire only burned all the plants on both sides of the ancient road of this deserted mountain to ashes and extinguished because there was no combustible. However, this time took more than one day and did not end until after lunch time the next day, and because of this, it was also possible to camp in the camp of the Sunset Empire on both sides of the valley on the night of the end of the annihilation war, and there was no need to light a bonfire, because in the middle of the two camps there was a "bonfire" that was enough to illuminate the entire valley.
Due to the large number of participants, it has exceeded 160,000 people, and it took a long time to clean up the battlefield, and it was not until the morning of the third day after the war that Leo handed over the statistics of this battle to Sun Lin.
After verification, the battle eliminated a total of about 70,000 soldiers on the Randster side, and the number of prisoners was 23,221, while the soldiers who fled were not even 10,000, of course, more than 4,000 of them were Sun Lin when he let go of those nobles at the same time, deliberately let those nobles bring some of their families back, and although Miler himself fled, the more than 10,000 people he brought out were chased by many Yoman longbowmen in the process of escaping. The 4,000-strong Yoman longbowmen stopped the pursuit, but the Yoman longbowmen also made their money. In the course of more than half a day's pursuit, more than 5,000 soldiers were mercilessly shot by the Yoman longbowmen, and some of them broke away from the team and ran away, most of these people left the team starved to death on the way home, only a few of them survived tenaciously and returned to the country of Leinster, and got the opportunity to live and die with the Leinster Empire, and the remnants of the defeated army brought back by His Majesty Milael were not even 4,000 people at the very end.
In terms of supplies, apart from a large pile of broken copper and iron, Sun Lin did not even collect a single cart of grain and grass, because the fire had burned everything in the road, and even the corpses of those who died in the war had become a pile of ashes, ready to be scattered by the wind to become fertilizer in the fields or dust on the leaves. Sun Lin couldn't say anything about this situation, who told him to play with the fire so big this time, and use up more than half of the burning barrels and all the reserve ones (the inside was filled with wine, not asphalt or a rough version of Greek fire) that was transported from the New Delhi Peninsula this time, in fact, Sun Lin thought that it would be good to be able to recover all the steel arrows that shot those arrows after the war, and all the steel armor weapons on his own forest axe soldiers, orc warriors and other soldiers, The extra broken swords and the armor that had been burned red by the fire were already the extra gains of this battle, which may not be available now, but can be re-refined into iron or steel arrows after returning to the furnace to ensure the expenses of the Yoman longbowmen in the rest of the war.
As for the loss............ First of all, there is no so-called forest axe unit at present, and there are many reasons for this, but there are two main reasons, one is that this army has lost too much, and those remaining two or three hundred people can't even do a good job as cannon fodder in wartime, and their combat effectiveness is simply ............ No, these forest axe soldiers are not even qualified to compare with the orc slave soldiers, and the second is because Sun Lin found that there seem to be some ill-intentioned people mixed into this team, intending to seek information about the empire on which the sun never sets, and Sun Lin can't judge those who are the group of ill-intentioned people in these mixed teams, so according to the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go", Let the 15,000 forest axe soldiers all be sent to death, as for the surviving Sun Lin, although it will not be solved this time, and it is impossible to be those people with the performance of these people when they fight, but it doesn't matter, because Sun Lin will turn them and the more than 20,000 people prisoners into a new cannon fodder army, which will be used in the subsequent siege battle, and then Sun Lin will be able to detect with his own eyes who among these people is the wrongdoer.
The losses of the orc slave soldiers were less, and the number of dead did not even reach 1,000, of course, there were more wounded, but these wounded orcs were dragged by the army doctor to bandage them regardless of their willingness. Although these orcs usually have a stinky face, they are quite obedient when they fight, and they all have a ruthlessness from the bones, and this is what Sun Lin admires most about these orc warriors. So after the war, when the officers who controlled the orc slave soldiers came to ask Sun Lin to report for duty, Sun Lin even said: "If they agree to accept the Lord's embrace and dedicate their lives to the great conquest of the empire on which the sun never sets, is it impossible for them to take off the slave shackles and become members of the Foreign Legion............... Also, it's been a little nicer to them lately. words.
As for the losses of the Hook and Scythe troops and the heavy swordsmen were close to zero, of course, it cannot be ruled out that some of the 20,000 unlucky ghosts were shot in the knee, or fell and rolled into the sea of fire while running.
"Your Majesty, is this a big victory?"
"Ahh Absolutely! And not only that, we have also completed the first step of the 3 steps to destroy the Ranster Empire, I think, when those broken dukes and counts returned with the remnants of the defeated army, they found that the military power in Miler's hands was also heavily damaged, and knew that the reason why they were ambushed this time was completely because of Milyer's younger brother, those guys should not continue to endure, right? I guess we're going to have to watch a good show before we attack..............."
"What about General Bobby's side? Should we start the second step? ”
"I guess we've already started wreaking havoc, right? I don't know how much combat power there will be in the Ranster Empire after this nest-breaking operation, it is estimated that the regular army and militia will not even be 50,000, right? And I think he must have spread the news of Milyre's defeat by this time, right? ”
