Chapter 179: Purging the Rebel Army (3)
On the left flank of the military formation, Triduok, the leader of the third squadron of the newly formed mercenaries, raised his shield and pushed away the two besieging enemy soldiers, and then took a step back and looked at the enemy formation that was getting tighter and tighter, and suddenly retreated in his heart.
"I knew I was here to die, but I might as well be sent to the sheriff~" Triduok muttered in his heart.
Nearly fifty armored enemy soldiers besieged fifteen mercenaries, and even though the mercenaries were very powerful, they could not defend themselves in the face of an enemy whose combat strength was quite large and several times their own.
Just as Tridork was about to take down an enemy soldier who had been forced to kill and retreat to the right flank, six or seven crossbowmen who threw their crossbows and drew their short swords and swords left the fence and galloped towards the left flank.
With six or seven crossbowmen on board, the left flank held its ground a little, and Triduok, who was about to retreat, hesitated to swing his ram and smash it at the enemy soldiers outside his shield.
"Guys! Hold on a little longer, and the right wing is about to win! Art's voice rang in his ears, followed by the explosion of swords and armor and the crispness of flesh and bones.
"Mercenaries are invincible !!" Seeing that Commander Yat was fighting side by side, Triduok had no intention of retreating, roared and took half a step back, raised his left round shield and jumped up and rushed to the besieging enemy soldiers, and the page hammer in his right hand smashed desperately towards the heads of the enemy soldiers, with a muffled sound one after another......
A commander's charisma does not determine the outcome of a battle of disparity. Although the morale of the mercenaries was really high after Art personally joined the battle on the left flank, and the initial retreat was somewhat fading due to the arrival of the commander, the trend of the battle was irreversible.
Two more mercenaries and a crossbowman fell, and the number of fighters on the left flank was sharply reduced to twelve, and the advantage of the enemy was even more pronounced, and the left flank began to retreat step by step again......
"No, if you can't hold it, retreat to the right flank!" Tridok threw his shield in his left hand, and his free left hand covered his right arm, which had been slashed with a single knife.
Art threw out the shield in his hand and smashed back an enemy soldier who was approaching, turned his head to look at the right flank that was still fighting fiercely, and then looked at the sentry cavalry who rode his horse and galloped over, and said: "The sentry cavalry has rushed over, and the battle and retreat, hold on for a short while!" As he spoke, he took a half-step back and slashed the jaw of an enemy soldier who rushed from the bottom to the top, and the blade jammed into the jawbone of the enemy soldier.
At the critical moment, Angus led the sentry cavalry to completely get rid of the entanglement of the enemy soldiers, rushed to the rear of the enemy soldiers on the left flank, and nine people jumped off their horses, raised their broadsword hammers and tomahawk chains and smashed them at the back of the enemy soldiers on the left flank.
The rebels who were attacked on the back finally relaxed their attack on the front of the left flank, and began to divide a dozen people to deal with the dismounted cavalry rushing from behind, and the combat pressure on the left flank was slightly reduced.........
The right flank battle group, Otto led the two squadrons of Bath and Ron, as well as the mercenary squadron and the local army fighting with the wind, have expanded the battlefield advantage, and the ranks of the rebel army were besieged on three sides and killed and wounded, when Ron, who was responsible for leading the charge, completely broke through the formation of the rebel army, finally a timid rebel army could not withstand the pressure and ran away, followed by the second and third ......
Otto slashed off a mace with his axe, kicked away the enemy soldiers, and ordered Buzz behind him, "Bass, block the retreat of this group of mongrels for me, and not let any of them go!"
Bass led the order to pull out five or six soldiers in the middle of the battle, went around behind the enemy soldiers and basically blocked the only gap, and then there was another fierce battle.
Ron, who has been taught by Art more than once, made a mistake again this time, he still can't change the habit of taking the lead in charging the battle when he is a cavalryman, he did not return to the periphery to repair after breaking through the enemy formation with the strength of one person, and directly turned around and rushed into the enemy formation, holding a broadsword in his hand to rush left and right, becoming a "meat grinder" in the chaotic enemy formation.
However, Ron, who killed the red eye, did not notice that the enemy soldiers had been surrounded on all sides, and with no way to retreat, they focused their eyes on Ron, who rushed into the formation alone, and began to concentrate on dealing with Ron, who was unable to deal with it and was stabbed twice.
The soldiers of the 4th Squadron were also red-eyed, they were just as desperate as their squadron leader Ron to establish their position in the Legion with a complete victory, and seeing their commander surrounded by the enemy, the soldiers of the 4th Squadron desperately wedged into the enemy formation......
Seeing that the victory of the right wing was decided, and the left wing was in a stalemate, Odo shouted to the soldiers around him: "The soldiers of the second squadron immediately return to the left flank, my lord, they can't hold it!"
A dozen or so men of the 2nd Squadron immediately withdrew from the battle and went to the left flank to support.
After withdrawing a dozen or so elite soldiers, the encircled rebels breathed a sigh of relief, they no longer paid attention to Ron and several of his penetrating soldiers who had already taken over the battle, and took advantage of the gap that appeared in the second squadron to support the left flank and desperately broke through, Odo tried his best to stop the deserters, but the trapped beasts showed amazing dodge and running ability after getting a glimmer of life, and in a short moment of the second squadron's withdrawal, a dozen or so rebels escaped from the gap that had not had time to close, and they didn't pay attention to the "rebel brothers" who were still holding onThe rest of the people finally couldn't support it, and they put down their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy......
"Ron, I'll leave it to you here, let go of another enemy soldier and I want you to look good!"
"Roger, take your squadron and follow me to the left flank for support."
Otto left Ron and the local lord's army to deal with the enemy soldiers who had begun to abandon their weapons and surrender, and then led Roger's mercenaries to join the left flank warband, which was also showing its strength......
From the time the horn sounded to the end of the battle, it was less than an hour. Most of the rebel army was annihilated, a few were captured, and very few escaped.
On a stone in the battlefield, Tridork tore off the sleeve of his shirt that had been cut by the blade, and hastily bandaged the bloody wound on his shoulder with this broken step.
Art shuffled to Butridok's side, sat down on the ground, removed the water bladder from his waist with his blood-stained right hand, opened the cork and poured water over his head, then brought the water to his mouth and poured a large mouthful.
"I almost killed you, and I knew I would have taken you to the prison of Tignets." Art said as he tossed the water bladder to Tridok.
"Lord Art, since I have promised to be loyal to you, I will do my best to fight for you." Tridok took the bladder, but the wound on his arm hurt sharply from the action, causing Tridok to grin for a while.
"Alright, don't talk about it, if I hadn't come to you myself to fight side by side, I'm afraid you'd have fled to Kitsby by this time." Art debunks Tridork's true appearance.
Tridok coughed in embarrassment, then raised the water bladder and took a sip.
Art continued, "But you didn't run away in the end, you fought alongside me like all your mercenary brothers. If it weren't for you, the left would have been defeated long ago. It's not your fault that you wanted to escape, but you've all bravely stayed, thank you. ”
When Tridok heard this, most of the resentment and embarrassment in his heart were dissolved, "Thank you, Lord for your words. ”
"No thanks, the brothers shed their blood for me, this is the least respect for the warriors." Art looked at the thickly bandaged wound on Tridok's arm, and ordered Spencer, who was directing the treatment of the wounded, "Clean and bandage Tridok's wound to ensure that his hands are not threatened in any way."
Spencer hurried to find the healer......
After Spencer left, Art grabbed Felix, who was leading the horse, and said, "Felix, let's hurry up and treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield, let's evacuate here as soon as possible~"
