In fact, compared to their record, their battle losses can be considered negligible.
Because they directly killed at least six to seven hundred enemies this time, and these people did not include the Northern Principality guards who were washed away by the river.
As for the prisoners, there were nearly six thousand people.
In addition to the above, more than 30 war horses and more than 100 carriages were also obtained.
As for various types of food, iron pots and other supplies, they are countless.
Compared to them who only invested more than a thousand people in the battle, this was already a rare victory.
In addition, there are actually tens of thousands of people in the Northern Principality's team this time. Excluding those who were washed away by the river, there are at least two to three thousand people still on the run.
Because it was dark and it was inconvenient to search, Narant and others suspended the search.
However, they believed that most of the defeated troops of the northern principalities would not be able to escape because there was a desert on the other side.
The defeated troops had no food or water, and could not survive even a whole day in the desert.
Therefore, according to speculation, there should be more prisoners tomorrow.
"Sir, Miss Stella, please come over here!" At this moment, a guard came to Nalant's tent to report.
"Okay!" After hearing this, Narant immediately stood up and went directly to the discussion tent in the camp.
"Stella!"
When Narante walked into the meeting tent, Stella and Boris Rael were both there.
And in front of them was a prisoner from the Northern Principality, who was the deputy commander of the ten-thousand-strong Northern Principality's army, Court.
Although Court had escaped before, there was no place for them to hide in the vast desert, so his conspicuously dressed deputy commander was immediately caught by Stella.
Court was straightforward, knowing that the nobles could exchange him for ransom, so he surrendered immediately.
After Stella and others captured him, they immediately asked for various information.
"Narant, you sit down first!"
"Okay!" Nalant came directly to Stella and sat down, "How is it? Is there any important news?"
Since he had been called over, Nalant knew that he must have gotten some important news.
After all, judging from the expressions of the three people, it seems that the situation is not optimistic.
"Yes, Nalant, I just got very bad news from this deputy commander of Court!" Stella nodded with a solemn expression, "Originally, we always thought that this year would be a rare good year for our Agate Principality.
Opportunity, but..."
"But, is this actually a conspiracy of the Northern Principality?" Before Stella could finish speaking, Nalant took over.
Obviously, even his insignificant passage was attacked by a team of tens of thousands of people, and they still took the risk to cross the vast sea of sand. If there is nothing wrong with this year's Autumn Expedition, Nalant can turn his name upside down.
some.
"Yes! Nalant." Stella nodded solemnly, and then looked directly at Court, "Sir Court, please tell us everything you told us before!"
When Court over there heard the words, he didn't dare to show any impatience and immediately started repeating it again.
From Court's retelling, Nalant finally knew what happened in this autumn's war.
It turns out that the Northern Principality is very dissatisfied with being rubbed against the ground by the Agate Principality every year.
Since the past few years, they have been secretly planning to design the Agate Principality's army and wipe out the Agate Principality's army in one fell swoop.
After several years of planning, the Northern Principality has been waiting for the opportunity.
Now, this year, the king of the Northern Principality feels that the time has come.
As for why the time has come, the deputy commander, Court, does not know. It is estimated that only the king and a few nobles know this.
Anyway, this year, the Northern Principality took advantage of last year's once-in-a-century severe cold, which caused the loss of war horses and food, to show weakness and lure the Agate Principality to go deeper.
Because their losses were real and they had done a good job of showing weakness, the Agate Principality naturally took the bait and did not want to give up this rare opportunity.
Therefore, the Agate Principality became radical this year and directly began to attack the Earl's city.
The ambush in the valley and the trap in Maple Leaf City are just appetizers prepared by the Northern Principality for the Onyx Principality army, in order to weaken the strength of the Onyx Principality army as much as possible and also damage the morale of the army.
Of course, whether these two appetizers are successful or not actually has little impact on the follow-up.
The real plan was in Oak City. When the Agate Principality arrived in Oak City, the trap was opened.
That is, when the Agate Principality's army attacks Oak City, the Northern Principality's army will surround the Agate Principality's army from all directions and then launch a pincer attack.
As for the Northern Principality, does it have this ability?
Although Court didn't understand the overall situation, he still knew some things.
For example, according to the spy information obtained by the Agate Principality, the Northern Principality's war horses suffered heavy losses due to the severe cold, with the number less than half that of previous years.
But in fact, since a few years ago, the Northern Principality has been secretly placing war horses in the newly opened horse farms in the northwest for breeding.
After several years of domestication, the northwest racecourse has nearly 10,000 war horses.
As a result, the number of cavalry in the Northern Principality will not decrease this year, but will actually increase by several percent.
More importantly, the Northern Principality obtained a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment from nowhere.
These equipments can already be equipped with all royal knights. As a result, the Northern Principality will have at least more than 15,000 elite cavalry this year.
Now that the equipment and manpower are available, the Northern Principality's shortcomings in military strength have been filled.
In this way, they had a chance to defeat the Agate Principality's army, whether by calculation or not.
Of course, Court didn't know if there were any other plans, because his position was too low to know the complete plan.
And their army of ten thousand people is not actually the main force. It is only responsible for going around to the rear to cut off the possibility of the Agate Principality's army retreating.
"Then when are you planning to launch the Northern Principality's army?" After Nalant heard this, his expression became solemn, he looked at Stella and others, and then asked Court.
"Your Excellency, it doesn't matter if I tell you the time of the attack, because tonight is the day when the attack will begin!" Court was also very generous when he heard Nalant's question.
"Tonight, several cavalry groups from our principality will begin to attack other road checkpoints where you are stationed."
"They will attack from the farthest level. This is to buy our infantry regiment some time to retreat."
"In addition, I just want your Agate Principality army to lose some energy in the siege!"
"According to the prior agreement, they will launch a general attack in about four days. At that time, the Royal Knights will gather from various checkpoints, and the defenders in Oak City will also take the initiative to attack."
"By the way, I'm afraid you don't know that there are at least 150,000 troops in Oak City now. His Majesty secretly summoned the vassals from the principality long ago and sent the guards to Oak City dressed as civilian serfs."
