Chapter 147: Hurricane Rush
From its inception to today, the Legion of the Eternal Night has not made any major moves except for a premeditated fire at the Bastille, and has been engaged in training all day except for infrastructure construction.
It was okay at first, but after a long time, it was impossible for these young people to have no complaints in their stomachs, but fortunately, the Eternal Night Legion paid close attention to ideological work from the beginning.
Especially when I heard that the supreme ruler of the Manyu Army, Grand Duke Borg, was stabbed to death, and under the leadership of the slave gladiators, a slave revolt broke out, and the entire Manyu Army was plunged into great turmoil and chaos.
Not to mention those low-level officers, even those low-level soldiers, one by one, think that the time has come for them to show their talents, they will spread like a flood down the ancient river of Jacob, not to mention a small Bastille, that is, the entire Manyu military territory, and even the entire continent of Ashane are trembling under their iron hooves.
Especially Sean, the general of the Eternal Night Legion, who has not shown up for a long time, held an enlarged meeting of the officers of the Eternal Night Legion as soon as he appeared, and everyone thought it was the time for the pre-war mobilization meeting.
Unexpectedly, they were greeted with a basin of cold water, not to mention that the low-level soldiers were a little confused, even those low-level officers were full of opinions and complaints, and generally thought that the upper echelons of the Eternal Night Legion were too conservative.
Just when everyone thought that the Legion of Eternal Night would not launch a large-scale war against the Walled City Alliance in three or two years, the order to attack on all fronts arrived.
Carrying out orders is the first duty of a soldier.
Whether it's a contradiction, or a glad order.
Orderly and efficient execution is their only and must be done well.
Woody led his 100-man guard and swooped down on his military targets.
The 100 guards deployed at the junction of the Walled City Alliance will have one or more military targets that need to be targeted.
These military targets are not only imaginary defensive targets, but also imaginary offensive targets, and peacetime research and military exercises are aimed at them.
I don't dare to say that the odds are full, but knowing each other and knowing oneself is the most basic.
What they need to do now is to turn what originally existed only in theory and in practice into practical action.
Therefore, when Woody led his team of 100 people, in less than two hours, soaring thirty miles, and appeared in front of his military target, the other party was defenseless.
A classic rush battle began, and the battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and the walled city, with more than 300 households, fell into their control.
Woody's Centurion suffered almost zero damage, and the only wounded was not the result of the battle, but a non-combat attrition caused by a hole dug by a long-eared rabbit during a rapid march at night, and a broken leg.
The reason why the battle went so smoothly was in addition to the fact that the Legion of the Eternal Night had been making corresponding preparations for several years.
Also because the Walled City Alliance's own will to resist is not strong, except for the stubborn resistance of the descendant ruling class planted by the Walled City Alliance here, the other mountain people saw that it was the banner of the Eternal Night Legion, and surrendered on the spot.
Some of the mountain people even held Woody's hand, wept bitterly, and kept chattering.
"Why did you come? If you had come early, my husband would not have been killed by these beasts. ”
"It's good to come, it's good to come, we've been looking forward to a day for a long time, these guys are becoming more and more inhumane, they don't treat us as human beings at all, they treat us as animals! No, it's not even as good as livestock, at least when the livestock ploughs the land, there is still enough food to eat! Kill, kill all these inhumane scourges!"
"Do you recruit soldiers? If so, count me in, I have great strength, I run fast, I only give two full meals a day, no, one full meal, as long as you kill these scourges, where you point, I will rush. ”
"Do you continue to fight inside? Many people are also looking forward to you coming, if you continue to fight, I will show you the way, I know a mountain path, I can kill them directly, and attack them. ”
Hearing the end, the hearts of those Legionnaires of the Eternal Night were full of excitement and guilt, as if they were really late.
As for those who resisted stubbornly, they couldn't withstand the frontal pressure of the Eternal Night Legion at all, both in terms of equipment and training.
Let's not talk about training, let's just look at the equipment, the Legion of the Eternal Night has an absolute advantage.
Those heavy infantry aside, whether it is the Walled City Alliance or the Eternal Night Legion, they are all armed to the teeth, let's just say ordinary soldiers, the Andis longbowmen with the largest number in the Eternal Night Legion.
In addition to carrying a longbow and two pots of arrows, each of them also had a relatively small folding hand crossbow, plus a mountain sword, not to mention the survival materials in the military kettle and military backpack, which the Eternal Night Legion has always paid attention to.
The military backpack contained the food and emergency medicine that a well-trained soldier needed for three days, and even without the logistical supply, with a military backpack, they could hold out in the wilderness for half a month, enough for them to find a large army.
The armor is Tang's nail armor, of course, it is not the kind of semi-finished product sold to people outside the mountain, but after strict fire treatment, the key parts are nailed in the real sense with iron sheets, although it is leather armor, but the protection has exceeded the inferior piercing armor and scale armor.
Of course, there is no way to compare with those meticulously crafted step armor and full body armor, not to mention the monsters that can wear the starting human armor and full body armor, they will never wear a single layer of armor, double or even three layers, that is a normal phenomenon, anyway, they have given up the speed, and they don't care about giving up more thoroughly, in exchange for the absoluteness of defense.
I have to admit that this monster has obvious flaws, but it is invincible in frontal conflicts and fortifications.
In the previous twenty minutes of battle, the two Woody Hundred Guards equipped with the two Woody Infantry Armor only appeared for three minutes before tearing the opponent's last will to resist to pieces.
When faced with more than a dozen moving monsters, even if they stand there and do not move, they can't even cut them to death, and they can't arouse the desire to fight at all.
Looking at the equipment of the Walled City Alliance, it is still at the level before the formation of the Eternal Night Legion, with a variety of leather armor as the main force, not to mention well-made scale armor and plate armor, and even piercing armor is rare.
The only improvement was the theft of the Andes Longbow from the Legion of the Eternal Night, replacing the most commonly used Andes Hunting Bow.
The Andes longbow is really not very technical, as long as you look at it from a distance, a hunter with a little experience in bow making can imitate it.
However, compared to the Eternal Night Legion coming down from the assembly line, the dimensions and specifications have been set, just like an Andes longbow made of a mold.
The Walled City Alliance's Andes longbow is a variety of longs, colorful, and full of personal style, obviously handmade, and made by different people, perhaps the user himself.
In Sean's previous life, the industrial assembly line represented rough workmanship at some times, far less famous and expensive than pure handwork, which was vividly reflected in luxury goods.
An identical, machine-processed high-imitation bag, not a few hundred, at most a thousand, but a handmade brand, but to remember ten thousand.
In fact, it was industrialization to a certain extent, and it was not necessarily how good it was, many times it was artificial labor that was sold, after all, when the labor force was liberated to a certain extent, labor was more expensive - except for the real masters, what people made was not called handicrafts, but artworks.
In the Legion of the Eternal Night, the assembly line is synonymous with advancement, because the things of the assembly line are best suited to the army - uniform sizes and specifications make them universal.
Once there is damage on the battlefield, you can find a replacement or disassemble different parts from multiple scraps to form a finished product.
Despite the enthusiasm of the mountain dwellers in the walled city, Woody still verbally rejected their offer to join the army, and even rejected the seemingly tempting shortcut to sneak attack.
Before the operation, the Legion of the Eternal Night had made a strict battle plan, and they looked like they were fighting alone, but they knew that perhaps across a hill, perhaps across a ravine, there were other Hundred Guards of the Legion of the Eternal Night fighting in a place beyond the reach of the naked eye.
This is a coordinated operation, and their actions will directly affect the left and right friendly forces, so it is more important to advance in an orderly manner according to the plan than to take risks.
As for the mountain people who volunteered, the Eternal Night Legion was equally grateful.
The Eternal Night Legion itself does not have the Zhuangding, let alone the Eternal Night Legion, and even the attached Engineer Corps has achieved semi-professionalization of the military, so how can they use the Zhuangding rashly, not to mention whether they can keep up with the marching speed of the Eternal Night Legion, and the people's hearts are sinister, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and there is no big mistake in prudence.
Woody led the Hundred Guards to knock down the walled city, and the attached engineering corps followed them up.
The two sides completed the handover very tacitly, and the 100-man guard led by Woody replenished the military supplies consumed from the hands of the attached engineer corps, and kept marching towards the next target.
The position of the Subsidiary Engineer Corps in the Eternal Night Legion is miscellaneous, and the concept of strong men, farmers, and auxiliaries is very similar, they do everything, paving roads and bridges, transporting military supplies, assisting in the defense and occupation of towns, and so on.
However, the Engineer Corps attached to the Legion of the Eternal Night is more specialized and well-equipped, and their main units are naturally different from the main battle legion due to different missions.
The infantry armor that is good at attacking fortifications and moving slowly, the number of attached engineer corps is very small, and even if there is, it is also the main battle corps that was wounded and thrown to them to recuperate, most of them are mainly Andean longbowmen who are lightly equipped and move quickly, and all kinds of war ordnance are secondary, typical good at defending but not good at attacking.
Once they are stationed somewhere, they will build a relatively three-dimensional fortification in the shortest possible time, and with the support of powerful war ordnance, they even dare to argue with the main battle legion.
In the Legion of the Eternal Night, the main battle corps and the attached engineer corps are complementary to each other, if the main battle corps is described as a spearhead, then the attached engineer corps is the spear shaft.
If there is no main battle corps, the attached engineer corps is just a stick, pumping on people's bodies, although it hurts, but the lethality will be greatly reduced.
And without the main battle corps of the attached engineer corps, although it is extremely sharp and indestructible, but without the attached engineer corps to support it behind, their attack distance will be greatly shortened, and it will no longer be a spear, but a dagger.
The main battle corps was racing in front, and the attached engineer corps was in the back to calm the people, build fortifications, guard the rear of the main battle corps, meet them, and prevent the enemy's counterattack.
This situation did not only happen to Woody and one of the centenarians, but at the same time to the dozens of centurians on the border with the Walled City Alliance, they would not attack for more than two hours, like dozens of sharp blades, fiercely stabbing into the behemoth of the Walled City Alliance.
Not to mention that the Walled City Alliance is defenseless, even if it is prepared, there is nothing to be done in the face of such a multi-front attack of the Eternal Night Legion.
The connection between them is not as close as that between the Legion of the Eternal Night, and it takes a lot of time to call for help, back and forth, and before the rescue arrives, the front walled city has already been breached, and before the back city can react, the enemy has already killed his own door.
The big city lords of the Walled City Alliance, who are now dead, captured and captured, and the city lord of the Three Caves Alliance, Ban Hebrew, who escaped back, is also too busy to take care of himself, and he doesn't care about the life and death of those allies at all, without unified scheduling, the Walled City Alliance has fallen into its own battle, and it has been eaten away by the hundred guards of the Eternal Night Legion one by one.
At this time, the flexibility of the Eternal Night Legion was shown, the Hundred Guards were only the basic combat units, once a large walled city was discovered, and the strength of the two sides was very different, they would send out a signal to gather other Hundred Guards around them to fight together.
Gnaw this hard bone, and then according to the next target size, determine whether it is divided or combined, which is full of flexibility.
In just three days, the Eternal Night Legion advanced three hundred kilometers into the hinterland of the Walled City Alliance, directly hitting the edge of Andes Inland Lake, which was already the core area of the Walled City Alliance.
It is not so much that they came over, but that they drove the flock all the way, and drove the rulers of the Walled City Alliance.
At first, the ruling class of the Walled City Alliance also tried to fight a defensive war, but soon found that the combat strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all, and it was a completely one-sided massacre, once or twice, and finally they were all scared and fled.
Once the situation of rout and escape appears, it will be difficult to stop the car again, and those who have been retreating in the end cannot retreat again.
Four Water City, Andes Inland Lake, is their last line of defense.
If the city of the four rivers is lost again, the walled city alliance will completely disappear, although the Andes Mountains still have five or six hundred kilometers of east mountains, but the terrain there is more precipitous, high in the west and low in the east, and it is no longer the world of the Andes people.
Part of it is occupied by barbarians from the Kentana Ice Field, and part of it is the world of the Orcs of Odin.
In the face of these two brave and fierce peoples, the Andes there lived a very miserable life, and could only survive in the gap between the two sides, and it is said that during the famine, they may even become the food of the two barbarian races.
As a last resort, the Andes mountain people were reluctant to go there to beg for a living.
Just when the Walled City Alliance was worried about the Eternal Night Legion, regardless of life and death, and was preparing to complete the battle, the pace of the Eternal Night Legion slowly stagnated and turned to the defensive stage, for many reasons.
