Section 129

Seeing the fierce pursuit and killing, and the comrades-in-arms who had been eating in the same pot with him were scattered all over the plain like rabbits driven by wolf dogs, and the originally orderly team began to riot. As the supreme commander of the Third Army, if Tieli can send envoys to the Second and Fourth Army to stay in place at this time, he can still persist for a period of time with the combat power of the Third Army.

The order of iron power is conveyed to each team, and the teams that have been in contact with the enemy respond to the enemy on their own, and keep the established team retreating to the east - that is, the Iron-blood City! Almost at the same time as the order was given, Tie Li fled with his own guard first.

The escape of the legion commander is particularly a huge blow to morale. On the other side, Qiu Jiu, who was chasing, keenly felt the disordered atmosphere of the other side's army, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "The third army commander Tie Li has been killed. Surrender to avoid death!"

The soldiers of the Third Army were already panicked. Hearing Qiu Jiu's shout, many people quickly turned around to find the figure of the commander-in-chief. The position where the commander-in-chief of the army was originally fluttering, which represented the commander of the army, was full of equally panicked soldiers at this moment. At that moment, these desperate soldiers immediately understood that their commander-in-chief had run away.

So, all kinds of rumors suddenly spread in the army, and the soldiers shouted disorderly, "The commander-in-chief is dead, and 500,000 barbarians have been killed. If you don't run away, you will die."

The calm water was thrown into a thousand pounds of stone, and the soldiers who had retreated suddenly dispersed. Seeing this, the morale suddenly shook, and the raised steel knife cut harder and killed more fiercely.

The soldiers of the Tie family did not even have the most basic resistance. All the people were fleeing, and all the heavy, food and fodder were thrown in place. Flags of all colors were thrown all over the ground. In order to run faster, some soldiers even began to take off their armor and throw away their weapons. The whole army finally dispersed out of control because of a wrong decision.

After two hours of escape, Tie Li finally understood his fault. He followed his own guard all the way, trying to intercept the defeated soldiers, organize them and re-enter the battle. But once the morale of the soldiers is lost, it is difficult to find it. Moreover, after running for more than two hours, everything that can be thrown has been thrown away, and most of the soldiers don't even have weapons. Behind them were a full 100,000 revenge-hearted barbarian warriors. The steel knife in their hands had no pity. Killing the iron soldiers was much easier than killing pigs and sheep.

In this momentum of the defeat of the whole army, the iron force not only did not organize an effective counterattack force, but also let the defeated soldiers disperse their own guards. In desperation, the iron force could only turn around and continue to escape with the tide of the defeated soldiers.

After another hour of chasing and killing, the signal of Mingjin's withdrawal of troops finally spread in the rear camp of the barbarians. In this pursuit, the barbarians killed more than 60,000 of the third coalition of the Iron Family, but they lost less than 300, which can be said to be an unprecedented victory.

Originally, Qiu Jiu could have continued to chase and kill, expand the results, and even completely eliminate the third coalition. But there are still two major legions stationed in the direction of Tiger City in the rear. If the two legions find that the barbarians of Tiger City have come out and are already an empty city, they will not hesitate to attack Tiger City. And if the barbarians hear that Tiger City is attacked, they are bound to be in chaos. In order to avoid falling into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, Qiu Jiu could only withdraw his troops.

In order to prevent an accident in Tiger City, the 30,000 barbarian soldiers of the Eagle clan were sent back to Tiger City by Qiu Jiu to support them, and he himself slowly returned to the city with the large army.

After knowing the news of the defeat of the Third Legion, the two armies, which were originally "more than half injured", seemed to have suddenly taken a panacea or some fairy grass, and the whole army recovered without medicine. 200,000 troops began to slowly retreat eastward, while Tie Xing, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, was more careful and sent people to inquire about the history before and after the battle of the Third Army.

After sitting in the conference room and looking through the information in his hand, Tieying gently put the information in front of the Iron War without saying a word: "The barbarians have always been scattered like fine sand. In the past three years, our five-way coalition has gone out, destroying many tribes, and the barbarians have never thought of unity and fighting. As soon as this man appeared, the barbarian not only condensed into a group, but also obeyed his command in a very short time, which caught us off guard. This man is extremely dangerous.

Seeing that Iron Eagle increased Qiu Jiu's danger in this way, Tie Li, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, also nodded desperately, indicating that Iron Eagle's analysis was completely correct. Sometimes, since you can't shirk your responsibility, you can improve the enemy's ability. In this way, you can at least say that you are not brotherly incompetent, but barbarians who are too cunning.

Tie Lin, the commander of the Fourth Army, sneered and said, "The defeated general." Although his voice is very soft, it can be heard clearly in this small conference room. Tie Li was like a domestic cat that was trampled on its tail. He suddenly stood up and said angrily, "What are you talking about?"

Tielin said coldly, "A whole 100,000 people in the Third Army were killed by a group of barbarians. What's wrong with your defeated general? Am I not telling the truth?

"The defeat of the Third Army, as the commander-in-chief, there is indeed some improper command. But the new leader of the barbarians should not be underestimated. The current situation is different from three years ago. Three years ago, we had five main legions, 480,000, known as 500,000 troops. However, the barbarians often fight against our 500,000 troops with the strength of a family, so we have made great progress all the way and have never met any enemies. But now, the barbarians have leaders, and they have ended their separate battles. Next, our battle will be very difficult, and we will even lose one or two games in some places, which is normal.

"Betwe and the barbarians, we have been immortal for a long time. This is a battle for extermination, a battle, or the gains or losses of a certain territory, which cannot cause a change in the overall war situation. We have a military theory before the barbarians and a military system before the barbarians. We have sophisticated weapons and sufficient logistics, and we don't lack anything. If we can unite like the barbarians and give up the power struggle, then the destruction of the barbarians will come sooner or later. After saying this, Tie Ying turned his head and said to Tie Zhan, "This man is a key figure, and his death is more beneficial to us than his life. So I want to ask the city to take the initiative to use the imperial troops of the Iron Family to let the Twelve Stars come forward to solve this trouble.

"Do you think he is qualified to let the twelve stars take action?" Tie Zhan frowned slightly, and he also read this document. But the few lines on the paper did not make him feel that Qiu Jiu was so dangerous. Iron War even felt that his son was a little too cautious about the twelve stars.

"I have a hunch that this man's influence will not only change the trend of the wilderness, but even the Tie family will have bad things because of this man. This man is absolutely dangerous. We only have one chance to take action. Iron Eagle thought for a moment and added, "If you don't move, you will be killed with one blow."

Iron War nodded and said, "I know. Do you have any questions about the wild?"

Tie Li quickly stood up and said, "This time, the Third Army suffered heavy losses. I hope the city owner can approve the Third Army to replenish the source gap from the reserve..."

Tie Zhan waved his hand and said, "I'm not in charge of this matter. Tie Ying is the new military chief. You can apply to him for anything related to the army."

The Iron Eagle said: "The soldiers of the Third Army added that I have already started to do it, and it will be transported to the current station of the Third Army in these two days. I just heard that your army's morale has been depressed since the defeat of the last battle, which is a very serious problem. Veterans are the backbone of the army. If they are all weak, how can they bring new recruits and let the Third Army play its due combat effectiveness? You are the head of the army, and you should solve this problem as soon as possible. In a month, the training of the new army (the new First Army) will be completed. I hope to hear that before that, I can hear that the Third Army has regained its morale and can fight at any time.

The iron force nodded repeatedly and said yes. At this time, Tielin said, "The weapons and equipment of the Fourth Army are very poor. I applied for the replacement of armaments six months ago. Even if it can't be completely replaced, even part of it can be replaced. But the military affairs department did not approve it. Since I am in Iron-blood City today, I want to solve this problem.

Iron Eagle nodded and said, "This requirement is not excessive, but Mr. Tielin, the headquarters hoarded most of the materials in the Blue Pattern City. Later, the Blue Pattern City changed, resulting in the loss of all the defenders and materials. The Iron-blooded City has now reached the point of requisition, so your application still cannot be passed."

Tielin said coldly, "Really? Then why is the new army the standard equipment of Qingyishui, and even the knives are made of the best steel. These new soldiers who have never been to the battlefield and have never seen blood. Do they need such good weapons and equipment? Why don't you equip our veterans so that they can play a big role in me?

The iron eagle replied, "This question is exactly what I want to say next. Because the training progress of the new army is relatively fast, they can go to war in another month. In order to allow this newly formed army to adapt to the war as soon as possible and survive to the maximum extent in the war, we must give them the best equipment to improve their chances of survival. The more soldiers survive, the more beneficial this battle will be to us!"
