Chapter 240 The Battle of Yabu
Differing from the previous victory of the Holy Sword Principality, this victory made people dizzy and paid countless lives for the victory, allowing all the soldiers of the Holy Sword Principality to experience a real war.
In the past, the battle where the enemy was defeated as soon as the cannon sounded was more similar to the game. Now! Today! What happens here is really called war. War is not only honor and victory, but also blood and cruelty.
Everyone wandered silently on the battlefield, collecting the bodies of their former comrades-in-arms. Everyone seemed to feel that there were countless souls separated from their bodies and wandering around.
The sound of crying came faintly, making the hearts of the soldiers more sad. Those lives that were alive yesterday will always be silent here today and turn into an eternal memory.
With a bloody breath, the wind floated through the wilderness full of souls and blew on the faces of the living, proving that they still exist today and can enjoy the beauty of living.
not far away, Edward, the commander of the 1st Army, and Arcado were in the headquarters of the 11th Division. Arcado asked with a heavy face: "Today, our losses, please count them quickly. Our soldiers can't die in vain! One day I will pay the price for the beast emperor Wepton who started this war.
"The first army lost nearly 7,000 soldiers, which was the biggest loss in this counterattack. There was nothing we could do. At that time, the situation was very critical, and we could only commit suicide." Edward said that he was in tears and weeping a little. There were nearly 2,000 soldiers of Romer's First Cavalry Division, but they were all the elites of Bai Zhan brought out by him. Don't mention that everyone could call their names, but they were more than half familiar. How does this make him not sad?
"The 11th Division is a new division, with about 1,000 casualties, most of which were casualties after launching a counterattack. Thanks to the support of the First Army, otherwise the defense line may be broken through." The commander of the 11th Division also said.
"17 of the 400 tanks that came to support the 8th Division were destroyed, 9 armored vehicles were damaged, 11 trucks and 42 were killed." The commander of the 8th Division also talked about the loss.
Acardo sighed and walked out of the door. As he walked, he said without looking back, "Count the names of each of the dead and report them to me. In addition, the family members of every soldier killed in the battle should arrange a suitable job, and the pension is 50 gold coins per person. They are all warriors who fight to the last minute, and I am proud of them.
"Holy His Majesty St. Rudolph God Arcado!" Seeing Arcado's colorful sword, the golden vine king flag, and hearing His Majesty attach so much importance to the lives of the soldiers, countless voices on the position shouted Arcado's name feverishly. Their majesty was by their side, and their majesty saw their heroism and loyalty with his own eyes.
On May 18, the sword elf coalition on the northern front turned into a counterattack, and the orc troops who lost their morale began to resist tenaciously by relying on the built barracks and fortifications. The two sides fought repeatedly on the 20-kilometer-long front, and the orcs paid a heavy price, but also caused considerable trouble to the attacking sword elf coalition.
On the morning of May 19, after a series of fierce battles, the troops stationed near Yabu City were besieged. After a whole hour of fierce fighting, the last orc troops that could threaten Yabu City were annihilated, and the Orc Empire completely lost the threat to Yabu City.
is still May 19. After the failure of the efforts to rescue the besieged troops, the orcs gave up the 19-day defense line and retreated back. For the first time, the beast emperor Wepton experienced the feeling of defeat.
On May 23, the orcs have retreated to the place where they launched their attack half a month ago. As of this time, the orcs that have not achieved any results have paid the heavy price of 310,000 orc soldiers, 2,000 Bimon, 50,000 bear troops, and 100 war beasts.
At the same time, the sword elf coalition that followed the orc troops advanced rapidly, which also lost 220,000 elf soldiers, more than 20,000 human beings, more than 200 cars were destroyed, 92 tanks were destroyed, and 35 armored vehicles were destroyed. In other words, more than one division was killed. And the news back shows that nearly half of the inventory of magic cannonballs in the Principality has been used, and it seems that it can no longer support such a huge war consumption again.
At the end of May, the orc troops had retreated to the west coast of Onyx, but still did not stop the trend of retreating. Standing at the top of a highland on the west coast, the beast emperor Wipton looked at the faintly visible King of Onyx in the distance, and had no choice but to step on his giant wolf mount and lead the troops away.
On June 1, the direct threat of the orc empire to the elf king city of Onikolos was lifted, and the nearest orc troops to the royal city were 50 kilometers south of the city.
On June 2, the battle plan proposed by the Elf Presbyterian Association to continue to pursue the orcs was rejected by the regent, and the exhausted sword and elf coalition were ordered to rest on the spot and began to lay a new line of defense. After this counterattack, the supply line of the combat troops of the Principality of Sword was pulled closer by more than 200 kilometers.
On the evening of June 3, the orc general Kotula, who was ordered to counterattack, led the orc general to counterattack while the night was not good at night. As a result, he was fiercely counterattacked by the coalition forces after resting. The battle lasted all night. After leaving the bodies of 20,000 soldiers, the orcs hastily ended the attack.
This test attack made the orcs realize that their counterattack will not be cheap, and even form a second "Battle of Yabu", so the clear-headed General Kotula decisively gave up the counterattack plan proposed by the Beast Emperor Wipton.
The defense lines of the two sides stabilized more than 40 kilometers north of the fortress of Gestak. So far, the battle of Yabu, which lasted for more than a month, ended, and the battle ended with the tragic victory of elves and humans.
The defeated orc empire lost the land of about two provinces and lost more than 500,000 troops for this unsuccessful offensive.
For this counterattack, the elves lost about 250,000 troops, and more than 20,000 human expedition soldiers died in a foreign country.
In the middle army tent of the elf clan, Queen Doris lay on her back in the march**, narrowing her eyes, and two rows of hot tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She sighed gently: "Mother, if you are here, your daughter has regained a large area of territory. The forest of elves will not perish now. Are you happy?"
