Chapter 737: A Bad Battle Between the Two Sides

At this time, a small place actually gathered more than 800,000 soldiers here, and the clouds of war hung over everyone's heads like a nightmare.

The goose feather snow finally stopped, and the plain was filled with ankle-thick snow.

This is a place that is extremely suitable for large-scale legion duels, the huge plains can accommodate quite a lot of soldiers, and if you look at the entire continent, there are not many places suitable for large legions to fight.

Both sides are hoping to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and end the war, after all, such a large army can be extremely food hungry when gathered.

Not to mention, even the logistics of the Piars, whose supply lines were shorter than those of the Jihadist Army, began to be a little unable to keep up, and it took a lot of people to be able to send food from the rear to the front.

With so many soldiers and horses, enough food was consumed every day to fill a mountain.

Eventually, when both sides could no longer bear the attrition, the Jihad sent a war to the Piars, hoping to fight a decisive battle on the plain in two days' time.

The Holy War Army gladly accepted this surrender letter, after all, such a huge consumption of the Holy War Army could not bear it.

After the war report was issued, the camp was busy, and the tension before the war suddenly became stronger.

The soldiers wiped their spears and swords, and used wet rags to maintain their armor over and over again, a good brother who could save his life on the battlefield.

The knights, on the other hand, stopped their usual training and began to inspect the barrels and walls of the mounted guns, and the swords and armor were maintained spotlessly by the guards.

The knights, on the other hand, spent the whole day with their horses, stroking their manes and whispering to the two of them.

And feed them the best bean feed, not even alfalfa, it is completely a high-nutrient feed made of beans mixed with eggs.

It is no exaggeration to say that these rude knights were not as gentle with their wives as they are now.

If their wives were treated like this by their husbands, they would surely die happily.

There is no way, the knights are not good to the war horses, after all, their biggest reliance on the battlefield is the war horse under their crotch.

The camp of the Holy War was busy, as was the Knight Piars, and the war had changed from a war of aid to an all-out war between the two races due to the political struggle on the part of the Holy World.

The future of the two peoples is at stake, and if either side loses this war, they will be greeted by genocide.

Three days later, both sides, which had been adjusted to their most perfect condition, appeared on the plain almost simultaneously.

With such a large number of people, the plains, which are hundreds of kilometers in diameter, seem a little narrow.

In fact, in a war of this magnitude, or a war in which all armies are gathered together, it doesn't really matter how you command it.

The space occupied by the two sides is too large, and the Holy War Army alone is separated by more than ten kilometers from front to back, and even if the herald is riding a fast horse and galloping wildly, it will take more than 20 minutes.

It's like when you're playing a strategy game like Red Alert, and the instructions you give take 20 minutes to be executed due to network latency.

The same is true for the Jihadist and the Piars, who have never had the experience of raising such an army, so they have no idea how to fight a war of this magnitude.

At least, in the historical records, there has never been a war in which the combined armies of the two sides reached 800,000 men, and the largest war in the past was only a melee in which the two sides gathered 200,000 troops.

But this is already a huge war that can be called epic, at least until this war appeared, it can be called unprecedented, shocking the past and the present.

However, the figure of 200,000 troops on both sides is obviously not enough in front of the eyes, and the war that shocked the entire continent is now only a quarter of the number, less than half of the strength of one side.

In fact, whether it is from the level of strategy or the level of war letters, this war is a bad war, a bad war caused by political struggle.

They did not have a clear strategic goal, did not specify a clear battle plan, and did not even know what they were going to do.

There is only one thing that everyone knows, and that is to defeat these infidels who have invaded the Holy Cult world.

What kind of fight is this? Of course, there will only be a scuffle on this plain.

If it were the Celestial Empire in William's previous life, or the Cloud Empire on another distant continent, they would make a detailed battle plan, let that force conquer that area, let that force complete that strategic goal, and let that force defeat those enemies.

But now, here, everyone does not have this awareness, and most of the lords on both sides have all their military literacy stuck on fighting a wave of decisive battles with the enemy with their troops.

That's why the current embarrassing situation has emerged.

One can imagine how tragic the decisive battle will be, and how many innocent soldiers and innocent people will lose their lives because of the intrigue of those upper kings.

At this time, Charlemagne was wearing the armor of an ordinary Iron Cross Knight, riding a warhorse in front of his army.

Since the enemies of this battle were the "vile" and unnoble Piars, they had no sense of protecting the lives of the nobles, and if they saw a nobleman or commander dressed in good clothes, they would definitely kill that person in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, at this time, except for a few stunned young people, none of them wore gorgeous armor, and all of them wore ordinary armor.

As the saying goes, there is no boundale above the people, and at present, the armies of both sides have reached as many as 400,000, and there is no edge in sight.

If someone can appear in the sky above the battle between the two sides at this time, then it will definitely be shocked by this, this is definitely the largest war ever seen on this continent, and the military array stretching for dozens of kilometers can explain all this.

After the two sides exchanged war letters, the war began.

Charlemagne didn't have any feelings about this war, it had been an hour since it began, but there were still a large number of friendly soldiers in front of him.

This was indeed an out-and-out rotten battle, and the combined losses of both sides reached 150,000 people.

The war lasted for two days, and there was even a strange scene where the army in front was fighting and the army in the rear was sleeping and resting.

The political struggle, the stupidity of the commanders, made the war a farce mixed with the blood and internal organs of hundreds of thousands of people.

Two days later, the Jihadist finally won the battle by a slight margin.

Of course, the jihadist army itself suffered heavy losses, and after a symbolic pursuit, they also gave up on the offensive due to a massive drop in morale.
