Section 336 Priority
Marvin received the news later. His subordinates who remained on the battlefield were loyal and reported the changes in the entire battle situation in a timely manner.
In fact, everything is similar to what Marvin understands. This is a normal battle. The situation of both sides is that the central government is equal, and each wing has an absolute advantage. The victory or defeat of the battle depends entirely on the commanders of both sides and the command level in advance. The key to victory or defeat depends entirely on who can defeat the frontal enemy of one wing first. As long as he can defeat the enemy of one wing and then reinforce another force in time, he will win.
Without these specific details, such battles are the most common among all field battles. Considering that the two sides of the war are located in the plains (although the Chaos Legion is a little bit backing, but they are almost the same), the result of the battle can be predicted to be almost the same. War must be a defeated battle, the victorious side will inevitably take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the defeated side will definitely flee in all directions. However, since the collapse of the army is gradual, the defeated troops can retain most of them - because the main force of the victor must be used to annihilate the remaining enemy troops on the battlefield and are still resisting, and instead give those defeated troops enough time and space to escape the pursuit.
In short, in this kind of battle, the loser will suffer huge losses, basically more than half of the casualties, but will never be wiped out. The winner will not suffer too little. If the battle is fierce enough (for example, the two armies are entangled and fought for a long enough time), the casualties may even reach about 20% of the entire army.
As a Chaos Lord, especially a Chaos Lord who did not rely on his own genius (for example, people like Luo Jin) who obtained his status today, Marvin has experienced enough battles. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had at least watched the pig walk. He had enough confidence in his experience.
The development of things was the same as before he left. No unexpected happens from head to toe. In short, the attack of the Blood Tooth Lord was intercepted by a new chariot called a tank, and with various magical support, the right wing of Ashu Rufate finally barely blocked the opponent's attack. On the contrary, thanks to enough magical support, Ashu Rufate's heavy knight finally broke through the right wing of the Blood Tooth Lord faster than expected.
Combining these two intelligences, the victory or defeat of the battlefield is self-evident. When groups of defeated soldiers fled to the rear, the remaining wizard apprentice left, not very clear about the details behind. But at least one thing is certain, that is, the Chaos Legion has been defeated - with Ma Wen's decades of military experience, he has never seen an example of the army after a wing of defeat, which can turn over and achieve the final victory.
As mentioned earlier, Marvin had already left the battlefield first. He was not affected by the failure at all, and instead arrived at the camp in the past as fast as possible. He was prepared for the current situation. When the defeated Chaos soldiers escaped in groups of three or three, Marvin began to contain the defeated soldiers.
The command of the army can only come from two aspects, either by being appointed by superiors or by being recognized by subordinates. The command of the Chaos Legion usually comes from the latter. The Blood Tooth Lord has failed on the battlefield, so he naturally lost command. Since Ma Wen is a Chaos Lord and can prepare to contain defeated soldiers in time, he naturally has obtained command.
The last time the Blood Tooth Lord came back, he could immediately deprive Ma Wen of command without any resistance, and could naturally kill Ma Wen (of course, he failed in the end). What he did was not correct, but at least in the concept of ordinary Chaos Warriors, it was a legitimate power as the commander. But this time, if the Blood Tooth Lord also withdrew with the defeated soldiers, Ma Wen could compete with him for command without revealing his trump card. Even if both sides really met for command, then what both sides could mobilize was only a small group of close friends whom they believed most. The other soldiers would only choose to wait and see.
Only the parties involved can feel this subtle change in human heart. From this moment on, although there was no oath ceremony, Marvin had replaced the Blood Tooth Lord and became the new commander of this Chaos Legion - although it was a new defeated army.
The night was dark. Fires were scattered in the camp, accompanied by the groans of the injured soldiers. Ma Wen sat in his tent and listened to the reports of his subordinates. It was almost the same for the containment of defeated soldiers. Now 20,000 people have gathered here - this is their origin, but the scattered deserters can escape from any direction.
"You mean... Lord Blood Tooth may not be dead?" Marvin frowned. This could be said to be the worst news he received today. After confirming that the Chaos Legion was defeated, he thought Lord Blood Tooth was dead - aren't all the madmen who are terrifying and abused? "Tell me carefully."
The officer explained what he saw. The battle situation was very fierce at that time. Although the tanks withdrew from the battle (although these new steel tanks were extremely powerful, the duration of the battle was not particularly long. After repeated rushing, the steam engine finally ran out of fuel, so the war machinery that originally galloped on the battlefield became one by one inactive turret), the battles on the other two wings had already been decided. The Blood-Tooth Corps mainly faced the encirclement from the flanks and the rear.
Although the fighting characteristics of the terrorist believers are fearless and death, the Blood-Tooth Lord is also a long-standing general with rich combat experience. He immediately judged that his retreat had been encircled and that the only way forward was to survive. So he immediately ordered the brigades on both sides to resist with all their might and cover the central breakthrough. In this case, despite the support of many magical powers, the troops on the front of the right wing could not resist the repeated impact of the Chaos Warriors, and were eventually torn a big hole. The Blood-Tooth Lord led thousands of troops to break through, and the remaining troops fought to the last moment, just like all the terrorist believers, shouted the name of the Blood God, and won enough time to escape for the defeated soldiers.
"Breaking forward?" Marvin didn't care. The situation was obvious. If the Blood-Tooth Lord retreated backwards (just like Marvin did), then at least he could still compete with Marvin for command. But he broke forward... What an interesting thing.
Now, Lord Blood Tooth is isolated from the enemy's army and cannot return. If he wants to return to White Fort, it means that he must set a way out of Ashurufate's army - this is completely delusion. If he wants to continue to stay outside... Sorry, the land in the northeast of Grony has been solid and cleared, Lord Blood Tooth may not be able to collect enough supplies to support his troops - although there are only a few thousand remaining soldiers left.
Although he was not killed on the spot, the ending was almost the same. At least in Marvin's future plan, he no longer had to consider the factor of the Blood Tooth Lord.
After thinking this clearly, Marvin's face once again showed a satisfied smile. Although Ash Rufate did not do as he asked, everything finally got back on track. Now the Blood Tooth Lord is no longer a problem. Although the Chaos Legion suffered heavy losses, it has been controlled by him. Those who are qualified to make trouble for him are missing, and Lord Blood Tooth is trapped in the enemy's base camp and cannot move, and Luo Jin is already dead. The remaining Chaos warriors, no matter which evil god believer, must listen to Marvin.
"Sir Ma Wen, what should we do next?" asked a subordinate.
"Rest for one night, we must leave tomorrow." Marvin thought for a while and said decisively. If Ash Rufate is about to die, he will have to wait a few days. If he remains still, he will be terrible to be pursued. Unfortunately, Ash Rufate did not do as he arranged, otherwise, there would be at least one fully organized army among the defeated troops gathered by Marvin, which can be used for the rear of the palace.
After dawn, Ma Wen led his army to set off.
At this time, there were still defeated soldiers coming one after another to follow the team. The latest news they brought, the thing that Marvin was most worried about - that is, Ashu Rufate led his army to pursue him regardless of everything - did not happen. After winning, Ashu Rufate did pursue him for a distance, but he did not pursue him relentlessly. If Ashu Rufate led his army to pursue him, he might have set out tomorrow morning - by the time he arrived here, the time would be as fast as noon tomorrow.
This half day was decisive. Marvin was confident that he would lead his army to get rid of the pursuit because the physical fitness of the Chaos Warriors was much stronger than that of the Southerners. They were physically stronger, had faster marching speed, and had more durable marching time. Even if Ash Rufate asked the light cavalry to catch up, there were dozens of magicians who were intact and intact. The small-scale enemy that caught up would not be beneficial.
Next, it was finally Marvin's turn to take action. All the stones blocking the road have been kicked away or are about to be kicked away. Marvin thought clearly that after Ash Rufate's death, he could easily turn Baranka into the commander of the coalition forces as long as he used Sagas a little.
Of course, a test must be conducted. If Baranka can be controlled, then it would be better... If he doesn't know the appearance, then... well, no, as long as there is a suitable interest, the mercenary will compromise. Marvin is somewhat confident about this. With the precedent of Ashu Rufate, Baranka... well...
A sound interrupted his thoughts. Is this... the sound of muskets?
He was confused for a moment, but when he looked back, he found that there were no pursuers behind him (although he was the main general, when he marched this time, Ma Wen was in the back of the hall). When he was observing the surroundings, there was another sound of muskets like fried beans. No, this time it was not just muskets, but the roar of the cannons was clearly distinguishable.
