Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Chapter 552 : Battle of the Utus River (9)

Julian calendar 420 years, blooming on the moon, the twenty-eighth day. (April 28, 420 AD)

By the seventh day of the war, the defeat of the Eastern Roman Empire was determined. The elves who entered the southern forest were all annihilated by the Druids of Withered Bones. All their heads were chopped off, their eyes were hollowed out, and a hemp rope was worn. Passing through the blood-stained hollow eyes of the soldiers, they connected the hideous and twisted heads together and threw them back into the valley of the Utus River.

This was another fatal blow to the morale of the army of three hundred thousand elves.

The first to collapse was the Harpy of the Auxiliary Legion. In a state of extreme hunger, they even began to eat the bodies of the dead and wounded soldiers. This cruel act immediately caused an uproar in the Roman army. After the melee, more than 3,000 harpies quickly climbed into the sky, trying to withdraw from the battlefield.

What is surprising is that the people only wanted to escape when they saw the opponent, not after the battle, they didn’t do anything at all, leaving the only air force in the empire to retreat.

Malkis was riding a black dragon under his hips, trying to leave from the air, and found that although he was stared at by some legendary masters of the tribe, the opponent let him leave.

This action made the commander of the Second Central Army feel insulted: Painhurs’ intentions were very clear. He just wanted to fight an annihilation war and annihilate the main force of the Eastern Roman Empire. It didn’t have any energy to hit the elves. Can disturb the tribes in the north.

As for you alone? If you want to go, just go, the commander of the light pole. For the warchief, these legendary elves are extremely difficult to intercept, and killing them will not make this huge empire hurt. It is just a warlord in some places. There are as many roles as the Eastern Empire.

Rounding it up is about equal to the tribe’s effort to kill them. There is no strategic value. Painhurs only wants to destroy the opponent’s legion.

By the ninth day of the Battle of the Utus River, the elves who had been out of food for five days were no longer able to fight. They were hungry and cold, and in the end, they couldn’t even hold the sword.

There is no shortage of water in the Utus Valley, but there is really no grain. The madly hungry elves even start to devour corpses, soil, bark, and everything they can see. A large number of soldiers did not sprinkle blood on the battlefield, but because of the cold and hunger. Die.

Several elven commanders desperately asked for help from Constantinople. The First Central Field Army and the frantically conscripted militias just tried to reinforce their front feet, and the Ostrogoth navy even tried to fire at the Golden Horn. They scared them to withdraw to the capital overnight. Reinforce the defense force of the Queen of Ten Thousand Cities.

As for the beheading operation? The masters Rulin, Christina, Christian, Abujos, and Payana beside Painhurs, all the high-level combat powers of all men and horses have reached the peak of mortals, and some have even become legends. Not to mention the three silver dragons and demons around him…

By the twelfth day of the war, the entire elven army had completely collapsed in hunger and cold, and nine consecutive days of high-intensity combat, harassment, and seven days of food shortages caused them to lose the last trace of fighting intention.

Accompanied by the sound of war drums and horns that shook the sky, the tribe launched a general attack. The main force of the horses and horses on the east and west sides broke through the unresisting elven defense line like a ruin, the renegade group on the hillside rushed down the river valley like a tsunami, and the druids in the forest also released an army of beasts. The exhausted Imperial Legion collapsed to the ground, unable to even form an effective resistance.

And Painhurs knew that these people were extremely loyal to the empire, and it was difficult to persuade them to betray. Once they regained their strength, they would become a great threat. Therefore, the warchief gave an order to die before the attack-not to stay. Lively.

A terrible massacre began. The monsters and the barbarians were like bloodthirsty butchers, faithfully executing the white horse’s slaughter orders. One by one, the extremely weak elves were pierced through the throat, smashed their heads, and torn to pieces.

The red-eyed destruction army poured its own anger and killing intent on the elves without reservation. Several commanders sighed, they had to summon the Austrian law team, opened the portal, and left with a few commanders and centurions.

This **** massacre lasted a total of fifteen days. The 300,000 elven army fell under the tribe’s butcher knife, and only less than five hundred of the Arcane squad fled back to Constantinople with the elven officer. The blood dyed the entire river valley red, and more than 300,000 naked rotting corpses piled together, and even caused the Utus River to dry up!

If ten years are a generation, then a whole generation of Greek male elves died in the valley of the Utus River. For a time, every city, every street, and every house on the Greek peninsula was a sound of wailing. The horror of Painhurs can even stop children from crying at night!

Some elves dared to go to the Utus River to collect their corpses, but they were scared almost crazy: more than 300,000 naked headless corpses, covered with this 20-kilometer-long valley, hundreds of scavengers Upon hearing the news, wild dogs and vultures, eating rotten flesh and blood, swallowing necrotic internal organs, greedily enjoying this rare gluttonous feast.

After the victory over the Utus River, the tribe sent more than 300,000 weapons and equipment to Dacia through the bridge across the Danube River. After three days of repairs, the army began to move in this area.

The beast Onardo, Julian brought heavy infantry, giants, and most of the siege weapons to destroy the empire’s Danube defense line. The dragon flag of Hundred Households, with a string of elven heads without the left ear, swayed slightly with the advance of the army.

The bombing frame of the bombing city was also filled with ferocious and twisted elven heads. With every salvo, there were thousands of rotting skulls, roaring into the empire’s fortress. Destroyed, hitting the morale of the defenders. The fortresses with no morale inside and no external support collapsed without fighting, allowing the destruction of the tribe to evacuate all the materials inside the fortress.

Seeing no hindrance by the defenders, the orc skill tyrants took out tools that ordinary people simply couldn’t understand, and began to use incredible means to slowly but effectively destroy the solid stone wall. They destroyed the foundation, demolished the beams and columns, and caused a strong wall to collapse.

The empire spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and a stone fortress built over several years, in the face of the violent demolition of the orcs, only lasted seven days.

And Pain Hess personally led the army of men and horses to the south, the second time the soldiers came to Hot Spring Pass.
