Chapter 310: Borrowing Force to Break the King's Court
"In addition! You are strictly prohibited from slaughtering the barbarians at will! I know you all have a deep hatred for the barbarians, but now is not the time to take revenge! After this battle, I will lead you south, join the main force of the army, and kill those barbarians!"
"Did you all hear that clearly?"
"I heard it clearly! Master Shishuai!" All the temporary officers and soldiers of the Xuehen Army responded in unison.
Life!
"Well then! Let's go to battle!"
At Liu Feiyun's command, the army began to move.
At the same time, on the west side of the Sirius King's Court, when Qin Jiu stared at a crystal stone magic array that looked like a small chessboard and suddenly flashed a few rays of light, he immediately issued an order to go into battle.
Inside the Sirius King's court, countless barbarian soldiers were killing each other, and countless tribesmen were fleeing south in a hurry.
Before Liu Feiyun's army of nearly 100,000 arrived, the fighting in the Sirius King's court was already going on with great enthusiasm.
Bluetok soon sensed something was wrong:
There are too many Lone Wolf rebels! The number of Lone Wolf rebels that I know of is no more than 70,000! Adding the casualties in recent days, there are no more than 50,000 who can fight!
But now, there are 50,000 or 60,000 rebels attacking from the east alone! Add to that the tens of thousands coming from other directions, and the total number is at least 80,000 or 90,000!
Where did these tens of thousands of extra people come from?
The little butcher sent someone to impersonate him? How is that possible! Even if the little butcher has some traitors from the Northern Wasteland, the total number would not exceed 10,000!
Then there is only one possibility!
"Mo Rongluo! You bastard! You actually teamed up with the little butcher to seize my royal camp! I would rather destroy it all than leave you alone!"
"Someone, come! Set fire! Kill people! Burn all the supplies that cannot be taken away! Kill all those lowly Southern Chen people! I want to leave Morongluo an empty camp, and I want to leave the little butcher a field of corpses!"
Bluetoker yelled angrily.
However, his order was not executed for long before it was forcibly interrupted by the joint forces of Liu Feiyun and Mo Rongluo.
With his and Vasdaro's tens of thousands of brave warriors, as well as the hundreds of thousands of old and weak soldiers who were temporarily armed, they could not resist the attack of the coalition forces and the rebels.
He had no choice but to lead the remaining troops and retreat along with the troops fleeing south.
Countless tribes of the Cangmang fled southwards. Although the Xuehen Army tried to stop them along the way, they immediately collapsed once they came into contact with them and were broken through by these tribes.
Vasdaro led three thousand-man teams of true warriors to clear the way in front, and only after they broke through more than a dozen lines of defense of the Xuehen Army did they breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the total number of his three thousand-man teams was less than a thousand.
In front of him, as far as he could see, there was no longer a single soldier from the Southern Chen Dynasty.
"I finally broke out! Fortunately, this revenge army is not the regular Southern Chen army, but just some civilians who were temporarily armed! Otherwise, how could I break through the layers of interception of nearly 100,000 troops!"
"But! This is not a place to stay for long. We should protect the queen and other nobles and reunite with the army as soon as possible!"
Thinking of this, Vasdaro waved and called over a few personal soldiers.
"Go! Please ask the nobles behind to move faster! Throw away the useless things! We are running for our lives now! We are not moving!"
"If the nobles refuse, we can say that the traitors from the Cloud Brigade under the Little Butcher are chasing us! They will all die!"
"Yes! Lord Commander!"
The melee in the Sirius King's court lasted for nearly a whole day, and only slowly subsided when the red sun was about to set in the west.
Although Liu Feiyun had issued strict orders prohibiting the massacre of ordinary barbarian tribesmen before the war, once the fighting really started, how could the soldiers who were blinded by killing be restrained?
Many of the barbarian tribesmen who did not have time to escape were still massacred.
First of all, Liu Feiyun’s so-called army was essentially a group of civilians who were temporarily armed and had no decent military discipline at all.
Secondly, these armed civilians are
The people in the northern part of the empire were captured by the barbarians. Most of them had their loved ones killed by the barbarians, and they hated the barbarians to the core!
Finally, when they attacked the camp where the slaves were held, they found that the barbarian soldiers were slaughtering their own compatriots in a bloody massacre!
As a result, the retaliatory massacre naturally and spontaneously unfolded.
When Liu Feiyun learned about this, he could only sigh helplessly and let it go!
However, he did his best to prevent any massacres he encountered.
By sunset, information from all sides had been gathered, and by midnight, there was finally a general summary of the battle report.
"For this battle, our army dispatched four brigades and the core battalion of the Yunliu Division, totaling more than 17,000 people. The Xuehen Army has a total of 150,000! Another nearly 100,000 people will defend the camp to prevent sneak attacks!"
He Chaogui spoke slowly while holding a piece of paper.
"Our army suffered 30,000 dead and 50,000 wounded, most of whom were from the Xuehen Army. The Yunliu Division suffered few casualties, only a thousand each!"
"The results of the battle that have been settled are as follows!"
"Our army killed a total of 90,000 barbarian soldiers, 9,000 of whom were in iron armor, and the rest were all in leather armor!"
"We also killed about 600,000 unarmored barbarian soldiers! We captured 200,000 barbarian tribesmen! In addition, there are nearly 10,000 armored soldiers from the Lone Wolf Tribe who are surrounded by us!"
"As for the compatriots who were rescued, there were about 600,000 of them, and hundreds of thousands of them were ruthlessly massacred by the barbarians before they were rescued!"
"In addition, we also seized a large number of livestock and supplies! Among them, there was enough iron to make 100,000 sets of armor!"
"This is the general outcome of the battle!"
Liu Feiyun listened carefully, and finally asked: "Are the compatriots who were rescued still mainly young and strong laborers?"
He Chaogui said hurriedly: "This time it's a little different. Among the 600,000 people, half are women and children! This time when the barbarians are slaughtering, they will prioritize the young and strong!"
"Alas! What a pity that I failed to rescue them in time! By the way, are there any of my people among the Aokong tribes?"
"There are still some, but it shouldn't be more than 200,000!"
"Well, send someone to talk to Mo Rongluo first and tell him that I am willing to exchange iron materials for our Chen people! Let him think about it and give me an answer when we meet tomorrow morning!"
"Yes! Your lord!"
"Also, tell Tuo Dajun to continue to drive the fleeing Cangmang tribe southward! Let Qin Jiu organize his men to keep a close eye on Mo Rongluo's men! We should still be on guard against what we should be on guard against!"
"Yes! Your lord!"
Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Feiyun and Mo Rongluo met again. After some bargaining, the two sides reached a series of agreements.
Liu Feiyun was going to take away all of Chen’s people, and Mo Rongluo was going to take away most of the supplies.
Liu Feiyun handed over most of the captives from the Cangmang tribes to Mo Rongluo, and gave a small number to the Lone Wolf tribe.
Of the more than 30,000 remaining Lone Wolf tribe members, 10,000 eventually defected to Morong Luo, and 20,000 chose to set up their own faction.
Mo Rongluo actually wanted to swallow up all of these tens of thousands of Lone Wolf soldiers, but after considering it again and again, he finally gave up unwillingly.
