On the vast battlefield outside the city of Saint Thunder, corpses are strewn all over the place. The flags of defection, piles of corpses and broken weapons all tell the cruelty of war.
Soldiers of the Far Eastern Army covered in scars are searching for survivors in the pile of corpses in twos and threes. From time to time, brothers who are on the verge of death are urgently sent to the wounded camp on a stretcher for treatment.
The scouts of the Far Eastern Army swam around, gathering the ownerless horses wandering on the battlefield.
Surrounded by the guards, Li Lang, the commander of the Second Field Army of the Far Eastern Army, stood on the edge of the battlefield. Seeing the endless battlefield, his face did not show the joy of victory.
One will be successful, and they will completely defeat the heavy army group deployed by the Holy See in Saint Lei City in this battle.
However, they also paid a high price, especially the 10th Field Banner Regiment, which acted as a bait, forcibly withstood the siege of several times the opponent's troops for several hours.
More than half of the heavy infantry banner battalions assigned to the 10th Field Banner Regiment were damaged, let alone the light infantry banner battalions.
"After this battle, the magic sticks of the Holy See no longer pose much threat to us for the time being. We should be happy."
Fatty Lu, the commander of the fierce tiger army, looked away from the bloody battlefield, and smiled at the stern-faced Li Lang.
"Although this battle dealt a heavy blow to the skitarii in the Holy Thunder City area and lifted the threat to our cloud province, we attacked without authorization." Li Lang said with a long sigh.
Li Lang said to Fatty Lu: "From now on, the defense of Yunzhong Province will be entrusted to Brother Lu."
"Brother Li, what do you say?" Fatty Lu asked with question marks all over his face.
"I crossed the border without authorization to attack the Holy See, which caused a large number of casualties to soldiers on both sides and caused serious consequences. I am ready to take full responsibility and go back to the court to plead guilty." Li Lang said.
"You and I sent troops together for this matter. If the court blames it, how can you bear the responsibility alone, count me in!" Fatty Lu said proudly.
"Brother Lu, the Holy See has suffered such a big loss this time, and it will definitely not let it go. If you and I are both responsible and dismissed, then who will take care of the defense of Yunzhong Province?" Li Lang shook his head.
"When I decided to take the risk to fight this battle, I had already put my life behind me. I didn't have the slightest complaint if the court wanted to kill or cut me up, but I was worried about the matter in Yunzhong. At that time, I had to leave it to you, brother. "
"The empire is full of talented people. Even without us, Yunzhong is still safe and secure."
"It is true that the imperial court has many capable ministers and officials, but I am worried that they are not familiar with the Holy See and will ruin the good situation we have finally opened, so I am most relieved to leave it to you."
After hearing the words of Li Lang, the commander of the Second Field Army, Fatty Lu, the Duke of the State, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although they won this battle, they attacked without the approval of the imperial military department.
In order to maintain its authority and at the same time give the Holy See a reason, the imperial court will inevitably need a scapegoat.
Li Lang, the highest military officer in Yunzhong Province, is naturally the best scapegoat. Once the court pursues it, it will be hard to shirk the blame.
"Don't worry about it, Your Majesty has always been wise and powerful. We won the battle, so naturally he won't chill the hearts of the brothers."
"Besides, this time we are not an unauthorized cross-border attack, but a self-defense counterattack against the Holy See's attack on our army. I think we are not only at fault, we should also be praised!"
After hearing Fatty Lu's words, Li Lang, who was not in a good mood, also improved a lot.
"Let's go, let's go to Saint Lei City to have a look."
"good!"
They kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the guards and cavalry surrounded the two princes and their party from the edge of the battlefield, heading towards Saint Lei City.
Saint Lei City was originally a place in the Far East, but in order to win the support of the Holy See, the previous dynasty arbitrarily allocated it to the Holy See.
As a result, the people in the Far East in the St. Leicheng area were also reduced to abandoned children and became the targets of bullying by the Holy See.
Especially after the establishment of the Far Eastern Empire, in order to prevent these former Far Eastern people from creating troubles, they made troubles in Saint Thunder City.
The Holy See even expelled the Far Eastern people who had lived in this area for generations and confiscated all their property.
When Li Lang and Fatty Lu arrived at Saint Thunder City, Yu Jun, the Banner Battalion Commander of the Vicious Tiger Troop who stayed behind in Saint Thunder City, brought people to greet them in person.
Yu Jun is the world??The people who lived in the city of St. Lei were overwhelmed by being expelled, so they joined the Far East Tiger Army, hoping to take back their hometown one day.
Now he has returned to Saint Thunder City again, so he is also very happy. After the leader Li Lang, Fatty Lu entered the city, he introduced every detail of the buildings in the city with great interest.
"After our inspection, the food stored in Saint Thunder City is enough to feed 150,000 troops for two months, and the fodder is enough to supply 20,000 war horses for half a year."
"The gold, silver, cloth and other things we seized are piled up in the warehouse, and I am sending someone to count them."
"We captured one hundred and thirty-five officials of the Holy See, including their Lord of the Holy See, in St. Lei City. We captured more than 2,000 soldiers."
Matthew and the others suddenly attacked St. Lei City and caught the remaining troops in St. Lei City by surprise, so they captured a lot.
Hearing that so many things had been seized, Li Lang and Fatty Lu were very happy, and their army would no longer have to worry about food and drink.
"Damn Far Easterners, get out of Holy Thunder City!"
Just as Li Lang and the others were riding their war horses along the street to understand the situation, a member of the Holy See standing by the street suddenly threw a stone at Li Lang and the others.
Fortunately, a guard next to Li Lang reacted quickly, the shield in his hand shifted, and the stone slammed on the shield with a bang.
"Catch it!"
Banner Battalion Commander Yu Jun saw someone attacking Li Lang and Fatty Lu, his complexion changed and he yelled loudly.
Several soldiers of the Vicious Tiger Army standing guard on the street immediately rushed forward and pinned the stone-throwing Vatican to the ground.
"Damn Far Easterners, you must die!"
The Holy See man was pinned to the ground, still shouting loudly, his eyes full of hatred.
"bring it here."
Li Lang also waved his hands when he saw this cursing Holy See member.
"Why are you throwing stones at us?"
Seeing that the Holy See man who was held up by several fierce tiger troops was still struggling, Li Lang asked condescendingly on his horse.
"This is the land of the Holy See, you are invaders, you should get out!" said the Holy See man with his neck raised.
"Do you know that St. Lei City was our land in the Far East more than a hundred years ago. In my opinion, you, the Holy See, are the invaders!" Li Lang retorted righteously.
The Holy See person took a sip and said: "Stop quibbling, you damn Far Eastern heretics should go!"
"I think don't waste any time talking with him, he dared to attack us, just kill us." Fatty Lu said murderously.
"The two adults were frightened, and I will take him down for punishment!" Banner Battalion Commander Yu Jun was also very frightened.
This is still throwing stones at Li Lang and the others. If there are hidden enemy remnants in Shenglei City who use bows and crossbows, the consequences may be disastrous.
Thinking of his own negligence in vigilance, Banner Battalion Commander Yu Jun was terrified, and wanted Li Lang and the others to go to the government office as soon as possible, because it was too dangerous on the street.
"He's not going to die for the crime. Hit him with twenty army sticks, let him go."
Li Lang turned his head and smiled at Yu Jun, "Don't blame yourself, he's going to throw stones at us, and you can't stop him."
"But a humble job"
"By the way, are there many people in the city who hate us in the Holy See?" Li Lang changed the subject.
"Reporting to my lord, there are many people in the city who hate our Holy See. They attacked our sentinel patrols, and several of them tried to set fire to the granary."
