The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

"Your Majesty, all enemy soldiers have been annihilated."

At dusk, the Yan army returned to the base camp after finishing the battle and brought Qin Ze the news that the battle was over.

Qin Ze nodded slightly and didn't say much. The battle ended a little late, two or three hours later than expected. The last part of the remaining soldiers fled in all directions, and some were still trying to fight back, which was why it took until now to eliminate all the enemy soldiers.

But all in all, not only was this battle a complete victory, but our side did not even suffer too many casualties. The superiority of their weapons was significantly demonstrated. Another advantage was the mobility of the cavalry. Based on this, Qin Ze planned to use the cavalry as the main force in the next march.

However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved, and that is the huge Macedonian military factory in front of us.

The tactic of besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements was a huge success, but the military factory, which was one of the targets, had not been taken. If they did not come out, they would have no choice but to launch a strong attack, but they would definitely not be able to do so today. However, this was not a problem. After defeating the Gothic army that came to support, the enemy's forces in this area would inevitably be left empty in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze gave an order: "Set up sentries on every road, spread out from here as the center, and master more routes."

"Tonight, withdraw all the troops surrounding the military factory from the east, south and north directions and gather them here. Tomorrow at noon, we will make a single-point breakthrough from here. We will use artillery shells to clear the way, blast open a gap and charge in."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"But that might cause the enemy soldiers in the weapons factory to flee after realizing they are outnumbered."

Qin Ze pursed his lips and said:

"Their reinforcements fought us so fiercely, but these cowards refused to come out. They didn't dare to take any risks because they were determined to defend this military factory."

"If we attack with force, will they easily choose to flee and give up?"

"But if they really want to escape, there is no need to chase them. Just let them escape. A defeated army will flee thousands of miles away. There is no need to worry about them. We just need to capture this factory."

-

That night, at the Macedonian Arsenal.

"Sir, except for the enemy troops stationed to our west, all other troops have withdrawn." In the combat command room, after receiving the news from the sentries, Tachino reported it to Davis immediately.

"Where did they evacuate to?" Davis turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was just past nine o'clock.

"From a distance, it seems that the enemy has concentrated its forces in the western camp." Tachino said uncertainly. After all, during this period of time, they did not dare to send troops out to investigate easily, so they could not obtain specific intelligence.

As soon as Tachino finished speaking, an officer frowned and said:

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of artillery fire could no longer be heard. Now they have withdrawn their troops. This..."

Before he finished speaking, a man leaning against the door of the command room continued:

"This means that during the time we stayed here and did nothing, the battle between the Yan people and our reinforcements ended, and the results have been achieved."

The person who spoke had an icy tone, as sharp as a flashing knife, and his words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the command room.

Harris, who was leaning against the door, had a gauze wrapped around his forehead. He crossed his arms with a gloomy face and looked at Davis' profile with cold eyes.

He went on to say, "Half a night, plus a day, more than ten hours of fierce fighting. The fighting outside was intense. Our army and the Yan people have been fighting for so long. Now the Yan people have withdrawn their troops from outside the military factory."

"Lieutenant General, do you think it was our army that won, or the Yan people?"

This is a question that does not require any thought, because the answer is already obvious.

Davis remained silent, while Tachino beside him stammered:

"Maybe it's a temporary truce. I think it's because the Yan people suffered heavy casualties this time and need more troops to replenish them."

“We had no choice but to withdraw the troops outside the factory.”

After hearing this, Harris raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "According to what you said, the casualties of the Yan people are very heavy, so our army should at least break through the enemy's position, right?"

Tachino hesitated for a moment, he hadn't figured out how to answer yet.

Harris lowered his arms, looked at Davis who had been silent, and said, "I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Davis, I disobeyed your order two hours ago."

Davis remained silent, and Harris continued:

"Two hours ago, I led a few soldiers out of the factory and explored the enemy's position as deeply as possible within the scope you did not allow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tachino frowned and said, "This is too dangerous! Once caught and tortured by the Yan people, it might..."

Before he finished speaking, Harris interrupted coldly:

"Wasn't this caught?"

"It may be because I brought very few people with me, did not ride horses, and explored very carefully, so I was not seen by the Yan people."

"But even if we are caught by the Yan people, you don't have to worry. Before we go out, we are all prepared to commit suicide if we are caught. We will never let the Yan people pry out any information about the military factory."

Tachino's face froze and he turned to look at Davis.

"I'm glad you're okay. Did you find out anything?" Davis finally asked.

Seeing his question, Harris's originally extremely indifferent face suddenly became angry. He clenched his teeth unconsciously, and his chest was heaving violently, but he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a calm tone as much as possible:

"The Yan country's positions are safe and sound. Those enemy soldiers don't even look like they are here to fight. There is no sign of defeat at all!"

Having said this, he suddenly laughed at himself and continued:

"Of course, it could also be because I didn't go too deep and wanted to come back with my life, so I just looked from a distance for a while and then left."

"Perhaps the Yan people have already been defeated in the center of the battlefield."

Hearing this self-deprecating remark, Davis shook his head and said, "Okay Harris, I know what you want to say."

He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said calmly:

"The Yan people won the battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the command room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a few seconds of silence, Tachino said in panic, "Not necessarily, sir."

"Didn't they say that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Port Brulo? If they all came to support us, we wouldn't have lost like this."

Davis still shook his head and said, "No matter how many reinforcements come, judging from the current situation, the Yan Army will win."

"There is no other possibility."

".....I hope that the reinforcements can preserve some of their strength even if they fail." Davis' face was gloomy.

Hearing this, Tachino hung his head and sighed dejectedly.

Harris said with a grim face:

"With the Yan people launching such a large-scale attack, I really don't know what kind of casualties our army will suffer. Lieutenant General Davis, do you think it is easy to preserve some troops and retreat as you said?" He looked at Davis with burning eyes, as if questioning.

Davis lowered his eyes and said, "That's unpredictable. After all, we can't go out. How can I guess so clearly?"

"In short, this battle has come to an end for the time being. We now need to focus on the protection of the military factory."

As soon as these words came out, Harris's eyes widened and he suddenly shouted loudly:

"How can you be so calm! As if nothing happened!"

"If I do nothing, I won't make any mistakes!?"
