    "Hey, general, how do you think the master arranges for us to do this work? Let others eat the meat, but we can only chew the bones?" A Western Qin soldier stood next to Dahar's body and smiled at Mengzhi.  complained.

    The five thousand cavalrymen in Burgundy were like a fat and tender chicken leg. After being blocked and pursued layer by layer by the coalition forces, they were basically reduced to skeletons by the Western Qin Army.

    For the Western Qin military system, the enemy's head is the military merit. The treatment of a soldier and his family almost entirely depends on how many military merits he has obtained.  Therefore, the Western Qin soldiers' desire for heads far exceeds that of other armed forces.  They were arranged to the outermost area, waiting left and right, finally "looking forward" to the Burgundians who had gone through all kinds of difficulties and broke out. Who knew, there were only less than a hundred people left. How could this make more than a thousand Western Qin soldiers feel embarrassed?  .

    This time, Bai Zhou asked the Meng brothers to guard the outermost part of the Belfort Mountains. They were the last line of defense to wipe out the Burgundian cavalry.

    When most people think about it, it seems that Bai Zhou deliberately let the Western Qin soldiers guard the last line of defense in order to preserve his strength. In fact, it should be said that those who are qualified to guard the outermost perimeter can only forcefully march in one night.  , braved the cold wind, circled half of the Belfort Mountains, and reached the predetermined position of the Western Qin Iron Army!

    Other generals of the coalition army asked themselves that their soldiers could not reach the outermost edge of Belfort in one night. Therefore, this seemingly easiest but actually most difficult task naturally fell on the Western Qin people.

    As the last gate to encircle and suppress the Burgundians, Bai Zhou also thought that the soldiers assigned to him should feel at ease.  If there is a flaw somewhere in the middle, you can still have the opportunity to patch it.

    But it seems that the coalition army fought this battle better than Bai Zhou expected. In the end, only a few dozen people were left in front of the Western Qin army, and none of them had horses.  Bai Zhou believes that even without the last line of defense deployed by the Western Qin Army, the allies are fully capable of recovering it.

    Speaking of which, this battle did not go well at the beginning. The Italians retreated too quickly, causing Wolfgang's troops behind them to almost lose their rhythm.

    Fortunately, after all, His Highness the Third Prince's team is not an ordinary army, nor is it an old soldier who only knows how to fight with the wind. Knowing that the Burgundians were about to kill them, Adolf Lunn personally led them.  More than 300 cavalry members of the private army launched a countercharge against the Burgundian army.

    Wolfgang¡¯s cavalry troops will definitely not be as shabby as the Burgundians: they are all high-quality horses, all chain armor, each man has a knight¡¯s spear, an ax and other off-hand weapons, and an iron buckler.  It can be said that this is completely the configuration of heavy cavalry.

    Hundreds of cavalrymen, led by Lunn, the lion, seemed to be charging into a herd of sheep. In one rush, at least two hundred Burgundian soldiers were knocked off their horses and trampled to pieces with their ten-foot-long lances.  mud.

    Then, Wolfgang simply stopped defending where he was, and instead led a large force, following closely in the footsteps of the cavalry, to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Burgundians.

    At this point, Dahar and his troops were stunned. Their scouts reported that the people blocking the road in front did not look like Western Qin people, so Dahar thought that the opponent's combat effectiveness was different from those they had just encountered.  They were almost the same. Unexpectedly, after this trial, the outcome was reversed.

    Coupled with the Italians who came from behind not long after, Dahal naturally had no choice but to flee after losing a thousand-man team in the battle, leaving another thousand-man team behind.

    Then, they passed through the Germanic defense zone in Switzerland. After all, the Germanic troops had the largest number and could not all be gathered together, so they were separated. It was precisely because of this that Dahar, who was unclear about the reality, had the idea of  The enemy's endless illusions retreated step by step, and finally turned into a rout, until they reached the outermost edge of the Belfort Mountains and fell under the arrows of the Western Qin people.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "It's over." After listening to the report of the messenger sent by Meng Ge, Bai Zhou learned that the cavalry unit of 5,000 people was finally wiped out, and its commander also died on the last line of defense. This also made Bai Zhou  Zhou took a deep breath.

    There may be a few remaining Burgundians who hid in the mountains and forests during the rout, but this is not something that the current coalition forces have the energy to manage.

    "Tell Mengge to stay there and send someone to pay attention to the movements of the Burgundian army. Count the days, it's just these two days." Bai Zhou ordered.

    Bai Zhou suddenly felt someone behind him. When he looked back, he saw that it was Fiora.

    Bai Zhou looked like "I almost forgot". He had been thinking about the changes in the entire battle situation just now. Until now, he just had the intention to??Focus on things other than the battlefield.

    In this campaign, all the generals of the coalition forces went out to lead the troops in person, leaving only Bai Zhou, because he still needed to be in the center to provide support, command and dispatch, and another one who had no experience in leading troops.  Fiora did.

    Fiora knew that Bai Zhou was busy just now, so she kept sitting quietly, not even breathing loudly, for fear of disturbing Bai Zhou's thoughts. Now that she knew that the battle was over, she stood up and  Walked behind Bai Zhou.

    "Oh, the weather is nice today." Bai Zhou smiled awkwardly. He really forgot about Fiora's existence and let a woman wait for him here for several hours in vain without eating or entertainment.  , it was quite difficult for her to just sit there dryly like this.

    Fiora didn't expect that the first thing Bai Zhou said to her was to pay attention to the weather. She was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that the winning Bai Zhou would hug her hard, so she walked to Bai Zhou's  behind.

    Since she didn¡¯t expect it, Fiora could only nod and express that she had no objection to Bai Zhou¡¯s opinion. Today¡¯s weather was quite good except for the cold weather and lack of sun

    The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. Bai Zhou didn't know what to say, and Fiora didn't know whether it was because of reservation or other reasons, but it seemed that she had no intention of speaking again.

    At this moment, Mi Chuan came to the rescue. He knocked on the door and said, "Sir, someone is coming from France. This is the news from General Mengshan. They said that they will arrive in Barcelona early this morning."  That¡¯s it.¡±

    "Oh, I know, prepare the horses and go back now." Bai Zhou said.

    This French envoy is definitely a big deal for Western Qin and the allied forces.  If the French agree to attack the Burgundians from behind, then what Archduke John can think about now is not how to capture Switzerland, but how to withstand attacks from both front and rear.

    Although Bai Zhou no longer has any hope in the French, it seems that the other party is still quite sincere. It is better to be late than never.  Now they have sent an envoy, indicating that there is still room for discussion on this matter.

    "How about it, shall we go back together?" Bai Zhou asked nonsense.

    And Fiora nodded again without speaking.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ps: You have to admit that you are short, and you have to stand firm when you are beaten.  Suddenly I felt something.  There will be a second update tonight
