Chapter 592: Hero Division
Fighting for the right name is not only Wicks' Heroic Wizard Regiment and Rosta's Fourth War Zone, but also Elva, who is the most flamboyant.
In order to cooperate with Weeks and Rosta, he had to gather his troops from all over the city to Mirata City, and then force a frenzied attack on the fortress of Karaca, forcing Emmett to light a beacon for help, so that Rosta's Fourth Theater army could rightfully approach the fortress of Karaca without Emmett's suspicion.
There are only a few henchmen and generals in the Elva army who know the inside story, and the others are extremely incomprehensible and even unbearable to the approach of this deputy marshal of the Fifth Army. In order to be realistic, the fierce collision with Rosta is also real, as soon as they make contact, Elva and a few henchmen order the entire army to retreat, and then turn into a rout, allowing Rosta's army to chase and kill.
When has the Fifth Legion fought such a battle? Rosta's army was only 20,000 men, and the first time he attacked him, even if he attacked from the rear, his own 70,000 or 80,000 people could still fight hard, but it unexpectedly turned into a rout.
The second time was even more ridiculous, the formation was set, a large number of baggage was arranged, and as soon as Rosta's cavalry rushed over, his own formation was already chaotic, and it became a complete defeat.
In the end, 10,000 men from Rosta's Fourth War Zone were stationed in Mirata City, which made everyone even more confused.
In the eyes of generals and soldiers, Elva simply became synonymous with incompetence! It was not until he received a messenger from Rosta and learned that Wicks had successfully infiltrated the fortress that Elva summoned the generals to explain the situation, and gathered his army to pour out of the city, completely handing over the garrison of Mirata to Rosta's other 10,000 men, and then advanced towards the fortress of Karaca overnight.
This scene was really overdone, Elva's army lost more than 7,000 people killed, more than 6,000 wounded, almost all of the crossbow chariots and other baggage, and a large number of military supplies were also lost in the battle. Many soldiers died unexplained and difficult to look at, how could Elva and his entire army swallow this breath?
When Weeks' magic fireball signal in Karaca City was issued, Elva's army had already assembled and waited not far from Karaka, and this aggrieved army could only hope to vent its anger on the Karaca Fortress, in Elva's words, 'Use Emmett's head to pay tribute to the dead dead!' ’
Rosta's army entered the city for more than half an hour, and it had been gradually completely suppressed by Emmett's army, with more than half of the dead and wounded, and the rest of the people were completely suppressed near the gate, almost unable to move, and even several arrow towers controlled by the Heroic Magician Regiment were ineffective due to the complete consumption of arrows, and the situation was precarious.
Elva's army of more than 60,000 finally arrived, but the way to enter the city, which all the people did not expect, did not enter the city through the gate, but the city wall.
Wicks's eighty heroic magician regiments took advantage of the attention of the city guards to be all on the gate, and had already controlled part of the corner of the city wall, Elva according to Wicks's signal, immediately organized people to use simple long ladders to climb the city wall, and the soldiers who climbed the city wall quickly expanded the control range of the city wall, and for a while, the fierce battle was transferred from the city gate to the city wall, and by the time Emmett reacted and wanted to send troops to reinforce the city wall, it was already gone.
Catherine's guards, which were brought by Maria from Djorma to the Fifth Legion, became the main force of this time to capture the city, and these guards, all of which were composed of all swordsmen, were one in a hundred, and they could become Catherine's guards, which were naturally extremely elite, especially hand-to-hand combat, unstoppable, almost equal to the combat power of Shante's crusaders. After ascending the city, some of the guards took control of the city walls and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemies on the walls, while the other part of the army immediately led by Wicks and descended the city walls to outflank Emmett's army from the rear, which was fighting at the city gates.
There was a commotion and urgent horn sound from behind him, and Emmett panicked at this time, and hurriedly sent someone to pounce on the enemy behind him......
In the city of Karaka, a chaotic battle opened the curtain on the military army. From the city wall to the city gate, from the city gate to the street, to the barracks, and finally the two sides launched a fierce street battle in the entire city pass, and in the darkness, it was almost impossible to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy......
With the arrival of Elva's main army, the besieging side far outpaced its opponent in terms of the number of troops, the elite of the army, and the morale of the army! Panic and low morale, as well as a chaotic rear, left Emmett's army in retreat!
Until after dawn, the two sides have not been able to distinguish the winner or loser, within the city pass, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, everywhere are ruins and broken walls, many barracks, warehouses and other buildings have been burned to ashes by the fire, cavalry, infantry, crossbowmen, magicians, guards, have long disrupted the system, each fighting for itself, you have me, I have you.
Until the third pole of the sun, the last few thousand of Emmett's men were finally suppressed on the south gate and part of the city wall, relying on the city wall fortifications to condescend and resist stubbornly.
Elva and Rosta, who killed the red-eyed, while transferring a large number of crossbow chariots and catapults to bombard the enemy on the city wall, while organizing death squads to fight on the wall, the one-eyed dragon general Weeks personally led the LinkedIn Male Magician Regiment and three thousand guards braved the rain of arrows and swords and swords, forcibly climbed the south city wall from the steps, and launched a close hand-to-hand fight with the enemy, with heavy casualties on both sides!
It was only after Elva led the follow-up of 5,000 guards that the situation improved, and the enemy's back was gradually controlled. Seeing that the general situation was gone, Emmett could not accept the heavy responsibility of the loss of the last choke fortress in the Guanzhong Plain, and killed himself on the city gate tower, and the enemy on the southern city wall finally laid down his arms and accepted the fact of defeat.
Since then, the ten-hour battle for the fortress of Karaka has come to an end. Both sides have paid a heavy price for this.
More than half of Wicks' two hundred and eighty heroic magicians were killed, and all of them were wounded, alive; Of Rosta's more than 8,000 men, he also lost more than 4,000; The Elva Ministry, which arrived at the end, also paid the price of nearly 20,000 casualties!
Of the 40,000 enemy troops, only more than 2,000 surrendered, and the others were all killed or seriously wounded, in this regard, Emmett and his defenders have done their duty, he has never opened the southern gate of the city and abandoned the pass to break through, paid the price of loyalty for the Arad dynasty, and also gave the Fifth Army the most tragic battle since entering the Guanzhong Plain, although in the end Emmett ended up with a tragic end of death, but at least won the respect of everyone on both sides, Elva finally, Still didn't bear to use his head to hang on the city wall to pay tribute to his fallen soldiers.
Although they won the victory, Weeks, Elva and Rosta, no one seemed happy, it was too tragic, they had thought about how difficult and miserable it was before the war, but when they really faced the miserable situation, it was so heart-wrenching, and everyone could not suppress the tears of grief and pain. War is so cruel, and it is really a heinous crime to sacrifice so many people's lives to pay for power and desire.
"Lieutenant Marshal Elva, this city pass will be handed over to you!" Wicks showed a bleak smile and said, "The enemy's reinforcements are coming, and they will inevitably take crazy revenge, and the dark fate of the Karaka Fortress has just begun!" ”
"You're leaving?" Elva wondered, "The military order didn't say that after the pass, you were asked to call back, and you just left it alone?" I don't agree with you leaving! ”
"What do I do? What's the point of me staying? Wicks said, "At the beginning of the formation of my Hero Magician Regiment, there were six hundred warriors, living dragon and tiger warriors, and now, there are still more than one hundred left, and almost all of them are incomplete!" The Heroic Magician Regiment has existed in name only, although it has succeeded in capturing the level and has fulfilled its mission, but I have no shame to face my brother who died and Marshal Higg to face it! When I go back this time, I will ask for the disbandment of the Heroic Magician Regiment! ”
"The Marshal won't agree!" Elva shook his head and sighed, "General Wicks, the sacrifice of hundreds of people of the Heroic Magician Regiment has been exchanged for the lives of countless soldiers of the Fifth Legion, and every soldier of the Heroic Magician Regiment, whether they have died or are alive, is a true hero!" You don't have to worry so much, your brothers will always be proud that they were once warriors of the Heroic Wizards, and if you feel shameless, it is a denial of their heroic identity! General Wicks, in order for the souls of heroes not far away to have a home, you must firmly carry the banner of the heroic magician regiment, so that their heroic spirits are gathered under the battle banner and placed in the battle flag infected with blood! ”
Rosta said: "General Wicks, if you don't dislike my age and lack of ability, you will integrate me into the heroic mage group, I believe that after this battle, there will be more young and promising mages who are willing to stand under your battle flag!" The Hero Magician Regiment is indeed a well-deserved Hero Division, opening up a path to become heroes for magic apprentices and magicians! ”
"What are you kidding?" Wicks laughed, "You're the head of a dignified war zone mage regiment, running under me?" ”
Rosta smiled: "Do you accept it or not, if you don't accept it, I will go back to the fourth war zone to form one myself!" ”
"Collect, why don't you accept it? I happen to lack a competent division and regimental staff officer, and if you wish, you can take up this position temporarily! Wicks laughed, "But Marshal Marpote's side, how are you going to explain?" ”
"After I bring the army back, I will naturally return to the Fifth Legion!" "Marshal Marbot really needs someone to be his liaison in the Fifth Legion, and this person is the best fit for me, because I have a position in both Legions!" ”
The rapid sound of the horn of "woo woo ......" came from the southern city pass, which made countless soldiers who were still nervously cleaning the battlefield nervous......
Elva laughed and said, "Hahaha, someone is late for this feast!" ”
Yes, someone is late! The reinforcements transferred along the defense line along the river could not be said to be unfast, but after all, it was still too late. The capture of the Karaka Fortress in three days was an absolutely shocking feat for the world, no one would have imagined that the Fifth Legion had done it, even if the price paid was terrible, but the status of the Karaka Fortress was worth the Fifth Legion's effort.
There are not many reinforcements coming, only more than 20,000 people are lightly armed and hurrying, it is impossible for the baggage army to arrive so quickly, and the Karaka fortress still has time to prepare, so there is no need to worry for the time being!
Elva looked at the enemy troops outside the southern gates and calmly ordered everyone to continue cleaning up the battlefield and rebuilding the barracks......
