The more you have, the more you possess, and the less you give. Conversely, the less you have, the more freedom you have. Poverty is a kind of freedom for us. It's not humiliation, it's austerity.

Gregory's army, led by François, launched an unusually fierce attack on Nishimura's 16,000 soldiers with 28,000 elite soldiers.

Except for the central main force, which consisted of more than 9,000 soldiers, did not retreat, the two wings of Nishimura's army, which had suffered heavy casualties, were defeated by François's reinforcements, so that their concave front became a convex front.

The pressure on the front was multiplied by the loss of the two wings of the central main force of Nishimura, and Nishimura, who had already personally mentioned himself in battle, occasionally needed to use shuriken and darts to secretly attack enemy soldiers, and barely suffered any serious injuries.

Although Nishimura was not seriously injured, some minor injuries were inevitable on the battlefield where the sword and gun had no eyes, and a wound may not affect Nishimura's performance, but as the number of wounds increased, Nishimura, who was born as a ninja, gradually lost his physical strength.

Nishimura, who had killed nearly 100 enemies with his own hands, was covered with dense long and short wounds, and the blood that was constantly flowing made him look like a bloody man; the hundreds of guards who had been guarding his side had all been killed in the fierce battle, and no one survived.

It is clear how fierce the battle between the Luci army and Gregory's counterinsurgency army was, but in order to complete each other's missions, Gregory, François, Natsukawa Heiko, and Nishimura Hayao had to continue the fierce battle.

Seeing that Nishimura's army was being eaten and wiped out by the enemy at a speed visible to the naked eye, Xia Chuan Heigong, who had received the latest order from Bai Feng, did not have the main force to reinforce Nishimura, but only sent another 20,000 soldiers to the battlefield to reinforce the precarious army of Nishimura Jun.

Previously, 15,000 soldiers were sent to reinforce Nishimura Jun, and now another 20,000 soldiers were sent to reinforce Nishimura Jun, and after two divisions of reinforcements, the total strength of the 70,000 internal army under Xia Chuan Heigong dropped to 35,000, and they were all relatively low combat power soldiers.

At the same time, the strength of Nishimura's army, which had been reinforced on the battlefield, was restored to 32,000 soldiers, while the attacking François's army was only 26,000 soldiers, a full 6,000 fewer than Nishimura's army, which was on the defensive!

François, whose fighters under his command were superior in combat effectiveness, was obviously stronger than Nishimura's personal strength; he also personally mentioned that he had killed nearly 100 enemies, and François did not have a few wounds on his body, not even a wound that was bleeding continuously.

On the premise that the disparity between the numbers of the two armies has not widened, François's army, which has a greater quality advantage, undoubtedly has a stronger combat effectiveness, and the two flanks of François's army, which is unabated in offensive, are attacking the flanks of Nishimura's army.

Unable to spare the time to deploy reinforcements, Nishimura allowed the enemy to storm his two flanks and watch his two wings retreat, while on the other hand, he concentrated superior reinforcements and counterattacked the enemy's central defense line, trying to crush the enemy's weakened mid-lane army in one fell swoop.

François, who personally sat on the central defensive line, would not allow his central army to be defeated by Nishimura's superior army, and François, who did not intend to stop the offensive on both flanks, personally led thousands of soldiers around him to launch a fierce attack like death again!

In Bai Feng's view, an enemy who has all the advantages is certainly dangerous, but it is far less terrible than a desperate enemy, and François, who looks like a mad tiger, is obviously such an enemy.

Fortunately, Nishimura, who had an absolute superiority in strength, was not at all frightened by François's seemingly ferocious attack, and even though his soldiers were caught off guard and suffered slight casualties, he still adjusted the pace of the attack in time to suppress the enemy's counterattack attack.

Gregory would not sit idly by and watch François's army in the middle be routed by Nishimura's army, he led his army to cruise around the periphery of the battlefield, and after seeing François's counterattack suppressed, he immediately led more than 6,000 cavalry to the flank of Nishimura's army.

Only three to five minutes later, the left flank of Nishimura's army was routed by the cavalry led by Gregory, and François's right flank of tens of thousands of soldiers took the opportunity to kill in the center.

Even Gregory and his more than 6,000 cavalry were dispatched, and it was impossible for Xia Chuan Pinggong, who still had 35,000 soldiers to use them, to continue to stand still; in order to avoid arousing Gregory's suspicions, Xia Chuan Pinggong sent 15,000 soldiers against the enemy cavalry.

It was obviously worthwhile to frighten the enemy's 6,000 cavalry with 15,000 soldiers, and to keep the enemy's cavalry on guard at all times, but in this way, the two armies, which were fighting on the main battlefield, were once again in a state of anxiety, and neither of them could occupy a clear advantage.

The five-hour high-intensity fighting that lasted from the sun's westward setting to the setting of the sun brought a staggering number of casualties to both sides, and according to the barbarian fighting custom, there was still half an hour left at most before the battle would be over today.

Gregory had seen the rebels fighting head-on, and he was barely undefeated, and he was ready to lead his army back to the north tonight, reporting to the leader who had underestimated the strength of the rebel army.

It's a pity that Xia Chuan Heigong and Nishimura Jun didn't give him a chance to evacuate safely; tomorrow and tomorrow have gradually dimmed, and even Xuanyue has quietly hung up in the clouds, but Nishimura Jun's army has no intention of ending the battle, but instead stubbornly entangles the enemy troops who want to retreat.

Just when Gregory was puzzled, the east, north, and west sides of the battlefield sounded at the same time, and the horns that did not belong to the Lucy Kingdom and the Luxi tribe sounded at the same time, and with the sound of the fierce and majestic horns, three heavily armed armies appeared in the sky not far away.

At this time, if Gregory no longer understands that today's battle is purely a trap, then his reputation as a famous general is really wasted, and there is no doubt that Gregory is a famous Lucy general who fought by his records, not a wasted person.

Realizing that a catastrophe was coming, he immediately led his 6,000 cavalry and launched a fierce charge against Nishimura's army, which was entangled with François's army, even if the 15,000 soldiers of Natsukawa Heiko's army who were on guard against them was a great threat, he did not care about it.

The 15,000 soldiers who took the initiative to meet did not stop the charge of the 6,000 enemy cavalry, and Gregory, who had rushed through the first obstacle, led his army into the army of Nishimura Jun's army without stopping, directly disrupting the formation of Nishimura's army.

Now that their three-way friendly troops have arrived on the battlefield, Xia Chuan Heigong and Nishimura Jun, who have relaxed, did not continue to entangle, and they retreated with the situation, leaving at least 2,000 enemy cavalry behind while slowly withdrawing from the battlefield.

Unwilling to be surrounded by this, Gregory personally led less than 4,000 cavalry and more than 22,000 soldiers under François, and the whole army turned around and launched a dying attack on the army of Leonidana from the north.
