On the other side, the Vicky’s army, who won the first battle, did not pursue the victory. Their general Traton was pressed under the horse until the war was over before being discovered. He learned the course of the battle as soon as he woke up. Although the last self-destruction was a bit blood loss, overall it was quite satisfactory.
The heavy cavalry who lost the most in this battle was the heavy cavalry that played the main role. Eight hundred heavy cavalry suffered artillery and gunfire during the assault, the battle losses when they rushed into the barracks and the imperial soldiers, and the personnel who died in the sabotage. In total, more than one hundred and fifty people were killed.
As we all know, the value of heavy cavalry is far more than other arms, and the death of so many cavalry is really painful for Traton.
However, the large number of weapons and horses seized in this battle should be enough to make up for their losses. After cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers seized more than 300 flintlock muskets, more than 300 carbines, and more than 800 matchlocks, excluding ammunition. There were more than 500 war horses, originally there were 600 horses, but in the chaos, many war horses broke free and escaped. In addition to the capture, they also captured more than 700 auxiliary army soldiers. Most of these auxiliary army soldiers surrendered directly from the beginning, and only a few were forced to surrender if they could not escape.
Seeing these prisoners of war, Traton had an idea in his heart. Through inquiries, he learned that these soldiers knew how to use firearms, and ordered them to teach their soldiers to use firearms to fight, and promised that as long as they could teach them, they would not die. You can also reward generous silver coins.
As soon as this action was taken, prisoners of war responded one after another. They rushed to sign up not only to avoid death, but also to get rewards.
After all the corpses in the barracks were cleaned up, Traton allowed the army to stay here for a few days, so that the soldiers learned to use firearms, and at the same time wrote the battle report and the results of the battle and sent it back to the country, although he did not follow it back to the country. But Traton knew very well in his heart that as long as the news of victory spreads, his prestige will definitely increase.

Some people are happy and some are worried. On the other hand, the order from the military department was issued a few days after Norman reported it. As he expected, the military department ordered Norman to be removed on the spot, and the military police escorted him back to Amatlia. His position was taken over by the deputy commander of the regiment.
Norman did not resist this treatment. He was taken away calmly by the gendarmerie, but before leaving, he told his adjutant: “The Cavalry of the Vychnya poses the greatest threat to our army, if conditions permit. , Give priority to destroying their cavalry.”
“I know, sir.” The adjutant looked solemn and nodded and said, although he knew that the responsibility of this battle was not on Norman, there was always someone who would be the one who is back, and as the commander-in-chief, he is the most suitable man. .
“Well, you can do it yourself.” Norman gave a wry smile, said his last words, and then followed the gendarmerie on the way back.
After Norman was taken away, the remnants he left behind were ordered to guard the supply point and wait for reinforcements to arrive. The soldiers still had lingering fears about the shadow of defeat, but after knowing that there were reinforcements, everyone felt a lot of peace in their hearts.
…
Amatlia stronghold.
The news of the defeat on the front line came back, and the military decided to divert its attention and concentrate on dealing with the nine-nation coalition forces in the north. Richard still did not return. It is said that he was still staying in the port of Luctos to remotely command the First Fleet in the Osa Sea. The Sea of Glitter searches for the traces of the Roman fleet, so Rudolf Vrba can only command it at present.
On June 27, 1129 in the mainland calendar, Rudolf ordered the army to go to the front line. Taking into account the threat of Vecnia’s army, Rudolf let a regiment leave first, the military headquarters and the guards battalion followed, and the royal guards stayed in the Amatlia stronghold, so he didn’t need it. Specially left the garrison.
On the way to leave Amatlia, Rudolf also received reports from various fronts. The situation was not easy. Except for the battlefield of Vecnia, the kingdoms of Tertuda and Sarkis in the northwest. The army’s offensive was also very strong. The Sips Kingdom and the Pros city-state army, which was besieged by the two countries, retreated steadily and were quickly beaten to the capital city. Although the two countries gathered their forces in time to defend, the hearts of the people in the city were unstable and precarious.
In this case, the second brigade stationed nearby could only resist the attack of Tertuda’s army while dividing its troops to rescue the vassal states. However, after the reinforcements entered the Kingdom of Cyps, they received from Pross. The bad news of the city-state, the Sarkis spies who sneaked into General City in advance launched a surprise attack, seized control of the city gate, and opened the city to meet the troops outside the city. The Sarkis army filed in without the obstacles of the city gate and soon occupied it. This city.
After conquering the city-state of Pross, Sarkis’ army was unimpeded, and the troops were divided into two groups, all the way eastward to attack the imperial occupation area, all the way northward, in order to cooperate with the allies of Tertuda to attack the city of Cyps and the imperial army that came to support. . The imperial army, which could only send three brigade and one cavalry brigade, was immediately caught in a dilemma due to the limitation of its strength.
The deputy commander of the regiment, Wilber Alam, was cautious, and upon learning the news, he ordered the army to be stationed in situ and sent scouts to investigate the enemy’s forces. This investigation was incredible and besieged Cyps. The city’s Tertuda army is as high as 4,000, and Sarkis’s army is rushing to have more than 3,000. On his side, his army has only 1,650, and the defenders in Cyps are only close. Two thousand people.
For a time, Wilber hesitated about whether to go to the rescue ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ Going to the rescue might put himself in instead. Not going to rescue would be tantamount to giving up the vassal state, and it is likely to cause other vassals. Dissatisfaction of the state-the duty of the suzerain state includes protecting the security of the vassal state.
After hesitating, he suddenly thought of something and quickly asked the scouts who had not left yet: “Where is the army of Sarkis Kingdom now?”
“I am entering the border of the Sipes Kingdom, sir.” The scout replied honestly.
Hearing that, Wilbur estimated in his mind the distance from the border to Cyps City. If it was only a normal marching speed, then it would take almost a day and a half for Sarkis’ army to arrive, and his current position is far from the west. There is still one day away from the city of Perth. If he uses the rapid march, he can set up an ambush on their only way before the Sarkis army.
Since the frontal **** is not enough, then another way, the officers of the Holy Roman Empire are not as rotten as those of the medieval officers, they will not pay attention to any uprightness, on the contrary, as long as they can win, they will do everything.
“Pack up, get ready to march!”
He commanded loudly.
