Chapter 5 La Rochelle Attack and Defense 1 The enemy army is airborne

After Haotian spent a leisurely college life, Albion launched a war of aggression against Torristeen as scheduled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Albion is a floating nation, and it is indispensable to drive its army to the main continent with floating ships and ports. In this invasion, Toristin obviously would not open the port for the Albiang army to land, so the Albion army could only force a landing in the field.

Thirty or forty shoddy floating ships carrying 20,000 Albion troops set out from the floating island of Albion, and when they approached Torristin, the floating ships forced their way down and fell to the ground. The huge impact caused the improvised floating ship to disintegrate, and the soldiers inside the hull also fell to pieces, but most of the soldiers survived.

Because of the track and the air current, the tow of the port was lost, and thirty or forty ships fell in different places outside the city of La Rochelle, hundreds of thousands of meters apart, and each ship had five or six hundred soldiers, one by one, who rose from the place of fall and gathered together.

The soldiers of Albion gathered together according to the location of each ship, a small number of them counted the wounded and those who had fallen, a few sent out as scouts to find nearby friendly troops, and most of them remained put.

La Rochelle is a port city established by the former [Earth Quartet] magician La Rochelle on the mountain with decades of earth magic, with high terrain and a wide field of vision, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. From the top of the hill, Torristin's defenders could clearly see the descent of Albian's army.

Before the Albion army was all gathered, the commander of the defenders, the lord of La Rochelle, and the [Earth Triangle] magician Angel Rochelle, gathered an elite 2,000 soldiers, opened the city gate and took the initiative to attack.

From the top of the hill, the general distribution of the Albion army was discerned, and Ingres led the army to the northwest corner of the plain, where only five small regiments of enemy forces were distributed. Two thousand elites charged down the mountain road with spears and swords held high, and the dust raised was scattered.

The Albion army, which was the first to engage the enemy, saw the smoke and dust from a distance, and the shouts of killing gradually became louder.

After a while, the Toristine army was already approaching, and the murderous aura was pervasive.

The four mages led by Ingres took the lead and continuously used the [Rock Spear] magic under the leadership of Ingres.

"Haru Uss Xiu." 【Rock Spear】

Rock spears more than a meter long were continuously raised under the feet of the Albiang army, and only a dozen or so unlucky eggs were pierced by the rock spears and died on the spot. The rest of the thirty or forty were just scratched with some flesh wounds. But the power of magic terrified the average soldier, who fled in panic for fear of the rock spears that might emerge from the soles of their feet.

Then, the Torlistine army thrust like steel knives into the routing Albion small regiment, swords swirling, spears thrusting, and blood splattered. Many of the Albiang soldiers were stabbed to death in the back as they fled.

Some soldiers were not strong in fighting and thought that they could not escape, so they threw away their weapons and shouted: "I surrender, don't kill me." "There was one, there were two, and then there was a crowd, dozens or hundreds of people who threw away their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.

"We don't have time to collect the captives, kill them all!" Angel said coldly.

The soldiers carried out in silence and killed the Albiang soldiers who had dropped their weapons.

"Don't stop, keep rushing me." After defeating one regiment, Ingres continued to drive and led his troops north to attack the next regiment of Albion's army.

Magic strikes first, elite troops break in and slaughter.

After four rounds of attack, Angel and other mages consumed their mana, and the potion that restored mana didn't take effect so quickly. The Torristinian army, which had been charged four times, was also a little tired, and this elite group had killed the same number of enemies before, and they had only killed and wounded less than a hundred.

Angel, who still wanted to wipe out the last enemy in this area in one go, was pulled by his own soldiers and looked in the direction of the city.

Several fireballs shot into the sky one after another, exploding in the sky above. It was the troops left behind who asked him to retreat.

Ingres looked at the five or six hundred Albion troops gathered not far away, and then at the tired magicians and soldiers behind him. After a slight hesitation, he made a decision, "We, withdraw!" Turning his horse's head, Ingres slowly retreated with his tired army, returning to La Rochelle from the mountain path up the mountain.

Returning to the top of the hill, Ingres could see that Albion's army had been gathered into three concentrated armies, and not far from the group of five or six hundred men was a regiment of about five thousand troops. Those five or six hundred people were just bait, but fortunately they didn't bite down.

After Ingres' retreat, the five thousand legions absorbed the five or six hundred troops.

In addition, there was an army of about 5,000 in the southeast of the plain, and a large army of about 8,000 in the middle of the plain. The three armies are more than ten miles apart, and they will not converge for a while and a half.

All three armies of Albion were stationed in place, and soldiers were arranged to patrol back and forth. There should be no chance to lead the army to the battalion to make another profit. La Rochelle arranged for his soldiers to pay attention to the movements of the three armies, and had no intention of attacking again.

And just like that, the first day of the petty fight passed.

More than 300 people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured when Albion made a rough landing; About two thousand people died in the charge of the Torlistine army, and no one was taken prisoner. Only a little over a hundred soldiers died on the Toristin side.

And at the Toristin Royal Capital Magic Academy, far away from the war, almost all the boys joined the army, and the classroom was deserted. The girls' minds are also mostly on the war that happened in La Rochelle, and some are worried about their boyfriends who joined the army.

There are not many boys left, Haotian and Willus. After the civil war in Albion, Willus stayed at the Academy of Magic as a distant relative of Haotian to study with the Ottoman Academy. This war of aggression waged by Albion could not allow Willus to go into battle. On the one hand, Willus is noble, and on the other hand, Willus is sensitive.

However, Ann Lieta did not let Willus go to the battlefield, but Willus found Haotian.

"Shortly after the end of the civil war in Albion, the populace had not yet adapted to the rule of the traitors. When the war between Albion and Toristine is supported and the interior is empty, as long as I quietly return to Albion and gather forces that are still loyal to the royal family, I can fight back. Willus looked at Haotian with burning eyes.

"I want you to help me, Haotian."

Haotian frowned slightly. "Ann Rietta won't let you go on an adventure."

"I know. However, I can't bear to live my life plainly under her protection, carrying the great hatred of the country and not taking revenge. I know that Mr. Gelfin had made an agreement with you, and I would like to use that request here. ”

Willus said earnestly, his eyes burning with vengeful rage.

Oh, no, Willus couldn't listen to anyone else, and hatred blinded him.

"In that case, well. I'll take a trip with you, when will I leave? ”

"Just today, I'm ready."

"Wait a minute, I'll leave a letter for Louise and them."

"Please also be sure not to reveal our whereabouts, this matter needs to be hidden."

"Got it, I'll keep it a secret."

Dear Louise, Tabasha and Churuk, I have an urgent need to go out, please ask Ann Lietta for my leave. Also, I will definitely come back, after this war is over. Love your Haotian.

Pressing the letter under the candlestick, Haotian and Willus quietly left the Academy of Magic.
