Chapter 167: The Battle of Unification 9
"Soldiers, attack!"
Mars shouted, then waved his arms.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
All the commanders fell to their knees, said yes, and led their soldiers to a rapid advance towards the town of Salo.
At the same time, two orders of knights lurked on the flanks, waiting for an opportunity.
Mars, under the protection of Frank and other three hundred squires, followed the legion, and although he wanted to rush ahead, he was severely dissuaded by Frank and others.
Mars knew that he was not alone now, he represented the entire Sunset Kingdom, and if he was seriously injured or died, it would be a very bad end for the kingdom.
Let's not talk about the future, let's just say that right now, the kingdom of Sunset City will be plunged into endless wars.
If so, it would be Mars's sin.
Therefore, Mars looked at the legionnaires in front of him with mixed emotions at the moment, although he had long imagined what the war would look like, but when it really came, he had a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm.
It's a pity that you can't rush to the front and fight for the country as a small soldier!
The horn sounded leisurely less than three miles from the town of Salro, the clarion call for war, the signal for the charge, and eight four-drawn drum stands trailed behind the legion.
On one of the drum stands, Mars beat the war drums with two hammers in his hand.
"Bang...... Bang bang ...... Bang bang bang...... Bang ......"
The rhythmic sound of the drums was like a catalyst for war, filling the soldiers with a sense of urgency, and one of the knights shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has beaten the drums himself!"
With just a simple sentence, the soldiers seemed to feel that His Majesty was at their side, roared angrily, and accelerated forward.
And in the town of Saro, the king of Nia and the king of Kodagarh had just suppressed the chaos, but they got the news of the attack of the kingdom's legions, and they couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
But the two kings, who had been governors, and had been through some wars, quickly calmed down and immediately issued a series of orders.
The Lonna Legion could no longer count on it, so the 230,000 men of the Nia Legion and the Kodagarh Legion immediately lined up outside the town of Salo.
Since Governor Lonna had predicted that the battlefield would be near the town of Kano, there was no strong military defense in the town of Saro, and 230,000 men could only defend on flat ground, relying on numerical superiority.
The horn sounded, the war drums beat, and the three legions of the Sunset City Kingdom rushed towards the rebel legions that were in a hurry like a fierce tiger.
The fight began instantly.
A rebel soldier was instantly pierced through the chest by a spear, and then his head was cut off by the legionnaires of the kingdom who came from behind, and the blood of the headless corpse soared, splashing the legionnaire's body, and the legionnaire immediately retched, and the veteran next to him slapped the soldier on the shoulder and shouted: "Recruit egg, be careful, the battlefield will not give you time to rest!"
"Poof!"
An iron arrow flew in, and the recruit couldn't dodge it, seeing it into the throat of the recruit, the veteran slashed down with lightning speed, and the arrow fell to the ground, and the recruit's egg turned pale with fright.
"Keep up!" the veteran roared and rushed forward.
The recruit shouted, "I'm not afraid!"
The same scene happens all over the battlefield, but many people don't have the luck of recruits.
However, the Kingdom Legion was like a wolf into a flock, with 150,000 against 230,000, it was like a bamboo, especially the two knights, after finding that the other party had put all their forces into the battlefield, Du Wei and Mitchelson seized the opportunity and immediately rushed to the center of the rebel legion, but in a quarter of an hour, the two knights were like a pair of scissors, cutting the rebel legion into two parts, which happened to be the two parts of the Nia Legion and the Kodagarh Legion.
Mars gave the order, "Order Duwey, McCarron, and Mitchelson to concentrate on attacking the Nia Legion!
With the order issued, Du Wei and other commanders of the three major legions strictly carried out Mars's orders and launched a fierce attack on the Nia legion.
In less than half an hour, the Nia Legion lost nearly 10,000 men.
Seeing the wolf-like army of the kingdom, the governor of Kodagarh felt fear, and the king of Nia finally noticed that something was wrong, so he immediately ordered: "Carnegie, you first coordinate the command here, and I will take a look!"
King Kodagarh immediately said, "Brother Barrow, go quickly, here I am!"
With the departure of the Nia king, the king of Kodagarh saw the Nia legion in one side, and then looked at his own Kodagar legion, which did not seem to be attacked by the kingdom legion.
Suddenly, King Kodagarh had a ridiculous thought, flee!
The words made King Kodagarh feel a little ashamed.
But this thought made him think that this might be an opportunity, "Only by escaping can we preserve our strength, and after the death of King Lonna, I will no longer be able to defeat Mars's legions." ”
As the feeling of "escape" became stronger and stronger, Kodagarh finally gave the order, "Order Michaels to retreat quietly, and we will return to Kodagar!"
"Huh?" the herald was stunned.
King Kodagarh's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the herald immediately took the order.
Mars ordered an onslaught on the Nia Legion, which frightened King Kodagarh, and Kodagar's quiet escape left the Nia Legion in a desperate situation.
When he learned that the king of Kodagarh had fled, he almost fainted in anger, but he was unable to save the situation, so he quietly fled from behind the town of Salo to the city of Nia with two hundred attendants.
Three hours later, the desperate Nia Legion surrendered, followed by the Lonna Legion, which had been confiscated in the town of Saro, and to the regret of Du Wei and others, the Kodagarh Legion fled.
However, Mars did not care at all, and he ordered all the wounded to be treated, and ordered Frank to take in the surrendered soldiers.
That night, Mars received a report of the battle damage, in which the three major legions suffered more than 3,000 deaths, more than 2,000 were seriously wounded and disabled, and nearly 6,000 were killed in the battle, including five knights killed and six seriously wounded and disabled.
Mars felt heavy in the face of such war damage, and although he had won the war, there were so many dead and seriously wounded.
Of course, nearly 20,000 enemies were killed, and nearly 3,000 enemy troops were seriously wounded, 30,000 of the Nia Legion surrendered, and the rest fled, and 40,000 of the Lonna Legion that surrendered, most of which fled in the melee in the town of Saro.
Although there were only 70,000 soldiers in total, Mars was also happy that his new army was about to be born.
After Frank cleaned up, he went to Mars's room, reported the surrender, and waited for Mars's next instructions, and he seemed to be used to Mars's orders.
