Chapter 1,479: The Frankish Army Can No Longer Be Defeated

"Military genius brings Zizhi Tongjian to another world ()" Find the latest chapter!

The strategic decisive battle with the Frankish army failed, and Rudolf and others led the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Bolu in disgrace.

After learning that Rudolf and others were defeated, Emperor Shad was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and chop all the senior generals headed by Rudolf and Erich.

But Emperor Shad still resisted his killing intent at the last moment.

At this critical moment, if the senior generals headed by Rudolf and Erich were killed, it would only make the already critical situation even more chaotic and dangerous.

In addition, although Rudolf and others were defeated, they still brought back as many troops as possible.

80,000 people went out to fight, and 60,000 returned.

Most of the more than 20,000 people who did not return died in the pursuit of the Hiran army.

After noticing that the Frankish army began to retreat, El sent a large number of troops to pursue the retreating Frankish army.

How to make the troops retreat as completely as possible when being pursued by the enemy - this is a great test of the commander's ability.

In the full pursuit of the Hiran army, Rudolf and others were able to bring back 60,000 people - this is already a remarkable achievement.

Such losses can barely be accepted by Emperor Shad.

In the end, Emperor Shad still suspended the punishment of Rudolf and others, allowing them to continue to fight against the Britannia Empire with a guilty conscience.

The defeat in this strategic decisive battle with the Hiran army made Shad feel heartbroken. On the one hand, this defeat made the Frank Empire put its last hope on the city of Bulu, hoping that Bulu could block the attack of the Britannia Army and the Frank Army.

On the other hand, it was because of Doppler's death...

Doppler once saved Shad's life in danger.

Doppler is not only Shad's favorite general, but also Shad's savior.

After Doppler was shot to death, El spread the news of Doppler's death and told everyone that the first fierce general of the Frankish Empire had died, and he died from their new weapons.

While spreading this information, Doppler's body was returned to the Frankish army.

The reason why El spread the news that Doppler died from their muskets was to hit the morale of the Frankish army.

As the first fierce general of the Frankish Empire, Doppler's bravery was well known to everyone, and he had a very high prestige in the army, especially among ordinary soldiers.

Doppler's death will undoubtedly greatly hit the morale of the Frankish soldiers.

Telling the Frankish soldiers that Doppler was killed by their muskets can further enhance the deterrent power of muskets among the Frankish soldiers.

Let the Frankish soldiers be afraid when they hear the term "musket" in the future.

According to the guards in the palace of Bolu, Emperor Shad cried loudly when he heard that Doppler had died in battle.

As for whether this rumor is true, it is unknown...

After the strategic decisive battle with the Hilan army failed, the monarchs and ministers of the Frankish Empire had only one choice - to gather all the military forces in the country in Bolu, relying on the solid city of Bolu, and fight a decisive battle with the Britannian army!

If the Britannian army and the Hilan army can be delayed until their supplies are exhausted, it will be the victory of the Frankish Empire.

If the city of Bolu is breached before the supply of the Britannian army and the Hilan army is exhausted... it will be the victory of the Britannian Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire.

The Frankish army can no longer afford to lose.

If they lose again, they will perish.

In order to avoid the destruction of the country, the monarchs and ministers of the Frankish Empire made their last struggle...

...

...

Frankish Empire, Bolu, in the palace, Shade's room.

The rustling sound of flipping pages was the only sound in Shade's room at this time.

Shade was flipping through a book without a cover in his hand like crazy, his eyes kept wandering back and forth, quickly browsing every word in the book.

Dong Dong Dong.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the room.

"Come in!"

Shade said loudly without looking back.

With Shade's permission to enter, Shade's door was pushed open.

An old man walked slowly into Shade's room.

After entering Shade's room and seeing Shade flipping through the book without a cover, the old man's brows immediately frowned.

"Your Majesty..."

"It's Erwin, what's the matter?" Shade still didn't take his eyes off the book in his hand.

"Your Majesty... Are you really not considering leaving Bolu?"

"Bolu... is about to become a battlefield..."

"For your Majesty's safety, I think it's better for you to leave Bolu immediately..."

As soon as Erwin finished speaking, Shad shouted impatiently:

"I have said it many times! I swear to live and die with Bolu!"

"I will never leave Bolu!"

"And - even if I leave Bolu, where can I go?"

"Is there any safe place in the Frankish Empire now?"

"Your Majesty..." Erwin said in a deep voice, "You can escape to the steppes in the Far East..."

"Now all the steppe people in the Far East steppes have been driven away by El Bernard."

"It's just right for refuge..."

"Enough!" Before Erwin finished speaking, Shade rudely interrupted him, "From now on, don't talk to me about leaving Bolu! I will never leave Bolu!"

"Erwin, if you mention leaving Bolu again in front of me, even if you are an old minister who has been with me for many years, I will never let you off easily!"

"... Your subordinate... I understand..." Erwin sighed heavily.

Erwin raised his eyes and looked at Shade, who had not looked up at him since he entered the room.

Since Erwin entered Shade's room, Shade has been staring at the book without a cover in his hand.

From beginning to end, he never looked up at Erwin.

Even when he was scolding Erwin loudly just now, Shade's eyes still did not leave the book in his hand.

The book in his hand seemed to have some magic power, which firmly attracted Shade's eyes.

Looking at Shade in front of him, Erwin's face showed a strong hesitation.

After hesitating again and again, the hesitation on Erwin's face finally faded away, and changed from hesitation to determination.

"Your Majesty!" Erwin said word by word, sonorous and powerful, "Please stop reading these books! These books can't help this country get out of danger immediately!"

Erwin's words made Shad's fingers that were flipping the paper pause.

At this moment, Shad finally turned his head and looked at Erwin.

But the look he gave Erwin was quite scary...
