"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1223
It was dawn, Manta City was full of smoke, corpses were everywhere, and there was a strong stench in the air.
"General, we have wiped out all the enemies in the city!"
A blood-soaked Skitarii officer strode up to General Eugene and reported happily.
After several days and nights of fighting, they finally wiped out the enemy army that turned the Holy See upside down. The faces of all the cathar soldiers were filled with joy of victory.
Those city lords and nobles who assisted in the battle also beamed with joy, because they also had credit for destroying such a large group of enemies, and when the time comes to reward their merits, their share will be indispensable.
After General Eugene heard the report from the officers under his command, his tense face relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
The enemy's tenacious will to fight was beyond his imagination, and the battles of the past few days have caused them great losses.
Fortunately, he finally wiped them out before they fled into the Kavos Mountains, and he was able to go back to the Pope in the Holy Land.
"Can the enemy general be captured?" General Eugene asked.
The officer smiled and said: "Reporting to the general, the enemy general has probably been chopped into meat."
After all, the battle for several days and nights was extraordinarily fierce, and everyone was so red-eyed, who would pay attention to the enemy's chief general?
General Eugene couldn't help but frown when he heard that the main general of the enemy army had not been confirmed.
It must be someone who can turn their Holy See upside down, and Eugene still wants to meet him for a while.
But now the main general of the enemy army has disappeared in the tragic battle, which undoubtedly makes Eugene feel very sorry.
For a general like him, it is rare to encounter such a capable opponent.
However, he has already wiped out the opponent's army and has become his own defeated general. Eugene feels that regret is nothing, after all, he still has the superior skills in the end.
"Let's go, let's take a look inside the city."
General Eugene also wanted to inspect the battlefield as a victor and see the plight of the defeated enemies.
Surrounded by Skitarii generals, city lords and noble lords, General Eugene stepped on the blood-soaked mud-like road and entered the city of Manta.
The fierce battle has turned Manta City into ruins. Many parts of this strong fortress were bombarded and collapsed by trebuchets.
The streets are littered with corpses of soldiers from both sides, piled up layer upon layer, and the gutters are full.
"Why are there no enemies in white robes?"
Seeing the corpses all over the place, General Eugene carefully discovered a problem, that is, the dead were all unidentified personnel, but there were no enemies in the Han navy uniform in the Lion River Basin.
After hearing Eugene's inquiry, everyone also looked at each other in blank dismay. They were so happy that they didn't notice this question at all.
"Where are the captured enemy horses?" Eugene continued to ask.
"Reporting to the general, we only captured more than 300 enemy horses, and they have already been taken out." An officer of the Skitarii replied.
"Only more than three hundred horses?"
After Eugene heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
You know, the enemies who are making trouble in the Lion River Basin are tens of thousands of cavalry.
This time they besieged all the enemies in the Manta Castle and then gathered and wiped them out. They only captured hundreds of horses, which is totally wrong!
Could it be that what they annihilated was not the main force of the enemy, but the wrong target?
The joy of victory on General Eugene's face disappeared, and instead became serious.
"Send me a military order, and all the troops will immediately gather on guard. I suspect this is a trap!"
General Eugene found that what they had been annihilating for a long time was only an enemy without cavalry, which was completely different from the enemy who made trouble in the Lion River Basin.
He suddenly had a terrible conjecture, that this wave of enemies might be the bait, and the enemy cavalry were hiding in the dark, ready to stab them from the back at any time.
Just now, the Guards and other troops were still cheering for the victory. Facing the sudden order, although they couldn't understand it, they could only gather in a hurry and prepare to face the unknown enemy.
But until they were assembled, there was not even a single enemy cavalry around,This made Eugene very puzzled.
"Scouts expand the search area, the enemy's cavalry must be hiding somewhere!"
General Eugene can be considered an experienced general, and when he saw the clothes of the dead bodies, he judged something unusual.
Soon, the scouts of the Skitarii also dispatched one after another, searching the surrounding mountains, woods and river valleys.
The final result was that they had a false alarm, and there were no large-scale enemy cavalry troops around.
"General, could it be that the Shizihe area made a mistake? The enemy doesn't have many cavalry at all, but they are actually infantry."
Seeing that Eugene still looked preoccupied, one of the city lords guessed.
"Impossible, they attacked so many cities in a short period of time, and many people saw with their own eyes that they had a large number of cavalry, how could they disappear out of thin air."
No large-scale enemy cavalry was found around Manta Castle. Instead of making General Eugene feel at ease, his face became more solemn.
If the opponent's cavalry attacked while they were relaxing their vigilance when they captured Manta City, maybe they would really be defeated.
However, the opponent's cavalry gave up the perfect opportunity to defeat him and did not appear, so it can only explain one problem, the opponent is a more valuable target to attack.
"Map!"
General Eugene said with a dignified face.
The personal guard hurriedly took out a map, unfolded it and placed it in front of Eugene.
"Holy Land, this group of enemies probably went to the Holy Land!"
After Eugene looked down at the map for a while, he slammed his fist on the map, his face full of grief and indignation.
He can be regarded as an experienced veteran of the Holy See, but this time he was tricked by an unknown enemy!
The enemy used tens of thousands of people as bait to lure him to the Kavos mountain area, but the enemy's main cavalry rushed to their holy land.
Although the Holy Land has a powerful defense force, but the enemy is equally powerful, and it is a sneak attack, the Holy Land may really capsize in the gutter!
"Order the Knights to follow me to reinforce the Holy Land!"
The more General Eugene thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct, so he didn't dare to delay. If something happened to the Holy Land, he would be to blame for death!
Soon, several cathar knights arranged at the entrance of the Kavos mountain area took urgent action. Under the leadership of Eugene, they rushed towards the Holy Land day and night, and they were going to rescue the Holy Land! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
