General Angelo is protecting our artillery positions! At the moment our contact with the Holy See has been cut off! ”

In order to ensure the safety of expensive artillery, artillery was often placed in the middle and rear of the line during the march. In the army, the greater the number of artillery, the more fire support it can give and the lethality of the army will increase exponentially. Nišburg was a strong fortress, so the coalition forces had no reason to abandon the artillery of the Serbs captured at Mount Berich. But this double-edged sword will make the troops need to divide more mobile sources to protect the artillery units when they are ambushed on a large scale. This has led to a situation in which the Legion of the Phoenix, the Hungarian Legion and the Holy See are at odds with each other.

Angelo's judgment was fine, but the rebel commander's strategy was nothing but a conspiracy, and there was no way to evade it. After the artillery positions were disconnected from the Phoenix Corps on the front line, the battle line would inevitably be divided into two sections.

"So...... The Romans were not so invincible. Let the fifth company intersperse it, and then, completely divide this battlefield into two parts. ”

In order to give the artillery more space to fire, the frontal formation of the Holy See Guard was an extremely different circle. Although this would protect the safety of the artillery to the greatest extent, at the same time, it also sacrificed the offensive nature of the entire Holy See, which could only passively return fire in the face of attacks from all sides.

The Serbian rebels, under uniform command, reacted quickly. About one company's strength directly attacked the weak connection between the Holy See Guard and the Phoenix Legion. Their charge followed the hill from top to bottom, and although they were not cavalry, they were armed with spears, and they were equally unstoppable. After breaking through the fragile defensive line of only two layers, the entire company rushed to the weak defensive barrier formed by the Holy See Guard, although Angelo wanted to prevent the formation of the encirclement, but the artillery had already pinned down a large number of his troops, and in this chaotic battlefield, it was difficult to make mobile deployments, and hundreds of people rushed towards him in unison, and there was no time to give orders, so he could only struggle to support and keep the last line of defense from being breached.

"There are two hits...... Angelo spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. I don't know if it was because the battle was too fierce just now and accidentally bit my lip, or if the impact of a few arrows hitting the armor damaged the internal organs, at this moment, the Holy See must fight back. Otherwise, if the Phoenix Legion can't open the situation, it is likely that the doom of the Legion will be repeated in this forest.

The Phoenix Legion is also having a hard time.

Flora, who was blocked in her charge, quickly led the Eagle Wing Company out of the dangerous terrain that was very easy to be surrounded and blocked just now. He had just experienced the most noble flag-giving ceremony, and he didn't want to let the weaving of the Eagle Wing Company fall in this dense forest like this. Flag-awarding, simply the renaming of a company or brigade and awarding special flags, insignia, coats of arms, etc., does not change the weaving of the army in any way, and there is no real substantive reward. But for the troops who were awarded the flag, this was the supreme glory, and each member of this unit could use a unique battle flag and heraldic shield, and in the Phoenix Legion, the Eagle Wing Company was undoubtedly the object of attraction for all other cavalry. The Eagle Wing Cavalry Company was born in such an environment, and they carried the supreme mission and honor.

"Spare back...... Now is not the time to be a hero, our legion is at an absolute disadvantage, at least, we need to be the first to break through the enemy's blockade of us! With her heraldic shield, Flora fended off two more feathered arrows and led the company back into the frontal battle, but not long after he had made his way through the dense forest, he spotted Publius, who had been surrounded.

Outside the encirclement network, there was another cavalry wing of the Phoenix Legion trying to attack, but because the impact of the cavalry had been infinitely reduced in such an environment, the offensive was still helpless.

"Let's go! Save our brothers! ”

With a slight difference in height and the enemy's lack of defense in the rear, the Eagle Wing Company launched a creative charge from the shadows of the dense forest in an instant. The tip of the cavalry spear quickly pierced through the back of the Serbian rebels, and when the Eagle Wing Company broke through the encirclement of the Serbian rebels from the rear, the defensive line, which looked quite strong, finally showed a slight hole in this moment.

Publius' location had been determined, and more Phoenix Legion soldiers had been freed up and rushed to support. The appearance of Wallachian light cavalry directly changed the situation on this battlefield.

The Wallachian light cavalry adapted to the rugged terrain of the Serbian mountains in the shortest possible time, even using the woods to evade enemy fire before counterattacking with their longbows and scimitars.

The frightened Publius was scooped up from the ground by Vasika and evacuated to the center of the formation under the cover of archers and light cavalry. Some simple stretchers had already been prepared here, and at this moment, he was surrounded and protected in the Phoenix Legion.

"Shame on you......," Publius sighed, covering his wounds.

"It's not too embarrassing, in such a breakout battle, no one can guarantee that they will not be injured." Giovanni personally unraveled Publius' armor, and judging by the extent of the damage to his shirt, it was clear that the wound was far beyond Publius' expectations.

"It doesn't always look like the chain-and-ring blouse is that effective...... Until now...... With less than a day's road left from Nišburg, he would have been ambushed on this scale...... We miscalculated. ”

"These damn guys aren't going to stop." Publius withdrew a roll of bandage and suddenly covered the wound, "Your Excellency, their goal should be to repel this attack of ours, so that we cannot set up camp at Fort Niš before winter. In this way, they were given three months to breathe, and it is really hard to say what the future war situation will become. If this ambush is successful, it will not only deal a huge blow to our legions, but also encourage the unscrupulous Serbian ......"

Although Publius had been rescued, the Eagle Wings were still fighting in a bloody battle. In order to create a frontal advantage as quickly as possible, they had to destroy the artillery and arrows of the Serbian rebels coming from all directions.
