Chapter Eighty-Three: The Death Legion
In Andalu Province, on the plain north of the city of Misland, the two armies faced each other, and General Kolenwa, who belonged to the Second Army, led 50,000 troops, and General Sakinin's 60,000 troops of Arad faced off here for more than two months.
"Big Boss, we are less than five hundred people, and they even put us in charge of sneaking up on the mage camp!" In Shante's battalion commander, Denilson said indignantly: "This is all our family's wealth!" ”
"Captain Denilson, please call me Major Shante, there is no big leader in the barracks!" Shante said.
"Major Shante, please think again, you can't let the brothers die in vain! Martiel also persuaded, "That Colenva is deliberately annihilating our army!" ”
"Captain Martier, don't say any more!" Shante said, "The military order is like a mountain, for the sake of Her Majesty, our sacrifice is worth it!" ”
"Major ......"
Bang - Shante slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "Whoever dares to shake the heart of the army again, the warlord will deal with it!" ”
None of the five hundred-man captains in the entire camp dared to step forward to dissuade them, and Shante's determination had been made, and they knew that no one could waver.
"I personally led a team of three centurians to attack the mage's camp!" Shante shouted loudly, "Order: Martiel leads the 100-strong team of the headquarters to respond at any time; Denilson, lead the 100-man team of the headquarters, as a reserve, while taking care of our retreat route to prevent the enemy from cutting off our rear route! ”
"Major, I'll take the lead!" Martil said: "You are the main general, you can't go into battle in person!" ”
Shante said: "Hehe, sneak attack on the magician's camp, General Colenva gave an order to dare to die, this matter is not trivial, I must personally go into battle, fight quickly, you all don't say it anymore, carry out the order!" ”
The next day, General Kolenwa personally led 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, 5,000 crossbowmen, plus 300 mages, more than 30,000 men, and launched an attack on Saknine's position.
In the past, such attacks were always dominated by stalemate between the two sides, and basically there was no large-scale fighting, and when the two sides were equal in strength, neither would have the idea of eating the other.
But today's Colenva did not pretend to be the same as before, ordering the cavalry to constantly attack the opponent's left and right flanks, and Colenva himself sat in the middle army, he had to use this attack to mobilize the enemy, so that the opponent's magic army camp could not be guarded, and Shante could succeed.
The group of magicians in the army is also divided into several types, the first is composed of offensive magicians, that is, they cast lethal magic skills in battle to effectively kill and injure the opponent's power; The second type is composed of auxiliary magicians, that is, during the battle, they apply beneficial magic skills to their own soldiers, such as acceleration, blessing, etc., to enhance the combat effectiveness of their own soldiers, or apply harmful magic skills to the opponent's soldiers, such as curses, slowdowns, etc., to weaken the combat effectiveness of the opposing generals; The third type is composed of healing mages, who heal their own generals during and after battles.
Offensive mages have a clear advantage in skirmishes, auxiliary mages are indispensable in large legion combat, and healing mages are considered to be field hospitals.
Hand-to-hand combat is always a mage's pain, but a mage who has pulled a certain distance, even a healing mage, is terrifying. The importance of the Wizard Regiment is self-evident, therefore, the Wizard Regiment is generally equipped with a strong soldier protection position, and this position is definitely not on the edge of the entire legion.
Therefore, if Shante wants to deal a devastating blow to the enemy's hundreds of magician regiments, he must unexpectedly break through the defensive positions of the opponent's magician regiment and quickly penetrate into the hinterland of the opponent's legion.
Colenwa sent a total of four death squads, and Shante's 500 men were just one of them.
The attack on Colenva continued for more than three hours without interrupting the opponent's position, which made Sakin very annoyed, and began to organize troops to counterattack, and the formation of the entire corps began to move forward, and the two sides had the momentum of a decisive battle.
The forward movement of the formation will inevitably lead to a hole in the defense of the entire legion. Colenva uncharacteristically pressed his own Chinese army at the same time, and intensified the harassing attack on the Saknine regiment in order to achieve the purpose of provoking the other side, it should be said that the whole tactic was very correct.
Sakning was really fooled, and immediately the cavalry on both flanks also began to attack, and the Chinese army pressed at the same time, and launched a battle on this plain with two wings against two wings, and the Chinese army against the Chinese army.
The standard-bearer of the Chinese army gave the order to the death squads to act, and the 500-strong force of the Gauder bandits led by Shante quickly attacked at the same time as the other three death squads, pointing directly at the opposing magician regiment.
The four death squads rushed all the way, and almost at the same time, the defensive position of the Wizard Regiment, and the guards of the Wizard Regiment, who were unable to reach it, were immediately rushed and killed, but everyone resisted.
This kind of fierce collision caused more than 200 soldiers to be killed in just a few minutes, and the death squad was no better, and more than 100 people died under the opponent's swords and crossbows.
The opposing sides had no intention of backing down, and the Magic Book Regiment was rendered useless in the melee between the soldiers of both sides, which was exactly what Colenva needed.
Shante led the army all the way to kill, very brave, the five hundred people he led are the elite of the Gaodel cottage, experienced many times of anti-encirclement and suppression of the actual combat, although there is still some distance from the regular army, but under the strict militarized management of him and Charlie, it also broke out with strong combat effectiveness.
The daredevils had no intention of entanglement with the guards of the soldiers, and many of the daredevils had already gotten rid of the guards and rushed towards the mage group, but a dozen of them got rid of the entanglement and rushed towards the mage group soldiers, and when they approached the mage group, they were instantly killed by the offensive magic and only three were left, rushing in.
The melee of the three soldiers was enough to make the opposing mage regiment chaotic, and there were constantly daredevils storming the division.
Sakin finally saw the chaos of his rear army, and immediately mobilized his guards to reinforce the mage group, if his mage group was annihilated or severely damaged, it would inevitably put him in a passive position in the subsequent confrontation.
Shante watched his comrades around him fight bravely and tenaciously one by one, and fell down one by one, and was finally enraged by the tragic situation in front of him, burst into a shout, and rushed into the magician group.
At this time, the magician regiment can no longer become a divisional regiment, and their own soldiers and the other party's soldiers are fighting in the position of the division, but the magicians are fleeing in panic in all directions.
The goal of the daredevils is clear, killing a mage himself is enough to have a powerful back. As a result, a very funny picture was formed on the battlefield, the daredevils chased and killed the opponent's magician, and the opponent's guards chased and killed the daredevils, you hit yours, I hit mine. If you catch up with me, count me unlucky; If you can't catch up with me, I'll catch up with your magician, and your magician will be out of luck!
From the time the daredevils stormed the defending position, it was only ten minutes now, and ten minutes, that is, the retreat time of the daredevils, no matter whether they succeeded or failed, they had to retreat.
When Shante saw the retreating flag, he found that the guards of the opposing Chinese army were already very close to the magician regiment, and immediately gathered the remaining more than a hundred people to move closer to Matiel's hundred-man team. Martiel's loss is actually more than Shante's, there are only more than 30 people left, maintaining the connection between Shante and Denilson, if his position is lost, Shante will be surrounded and lose the opportunity to retreat!
"Big leader, you retreat first, I'll block the pursuers!" Martill said.
"Stay safe and come back alive!" Shante said loudly to Martil, and after saying that, he led the remnants of the army to retreat towards Denelson's hundreds.
Denilson was better than Martiel, with more than fifty remaining, and the more than a hundred of Shante and Denilson's vegetarian man, about two hundred, began to put up a fierce resistance to the enemy forces who tried to close the siege, so as to leave room for Martiel's retreat.
"Big boss, don't wait for me, retreat!" A few hundred meters away, Martiel, shouted loudly, led more than twenty of his men, rushed towards the swarming guards, and immediately drowned in the army.
"Big Boss, get out of here!" When Denilson saw Shante sitting on the ground trembling all over, he immediately stepped forward and slapped him fiercely, shouting, "If we don't retreat, we will be surrounded!" ”
Shante watched the soldiers on both sides continue to resist stubbornly, and keep falling, stood up, rushed out with his sword, and shouted while rushing, "Retreat, everyone follow me!" ”
After rushing a few hundred meters, Shante found that there were only about a hundred people left around him. These soldiers were all the elites who he and Charlie personally cultivated and trained, and personally led the battle to upgrade, and in an instant, there were only a hundred left. How much the dead brothers trusted him as a great leader, but they personally sent them into the arms of death for the sake of their queen.
Denilson, who had a color on his head, hands, and legs, walked up to Shante's side and said, "Great Chief, there is no hope of going out to the north, only to the south into the enemy's hinterland." ”
"We're going south, there's a wood, we're going into the woods and waiting for reinforcements!" Shante said decisively to all the soldiers.
In the plains of the south, there are many rivers, and it is very dangerous to enter the enemy's hinterland, and it is easy for the enemy's army to use the river terrain to surround and strangle.
Shante, who fled into the woods in a hurry, didn't think much about it, and immediately sent a signal for help.
To the south of this grove is a river called the Marshall River, and now almost everyone is injured, and it is absolutely impossible to break through by forcibly crossing the river unless forced to do so.
"It's going to be dark in two hours, and if reinforcements don't arrive, we'll break through at night." Shante said.
"Big Chief, why don't we cut down some trees and use wood from the river to help swim over and break through?" Denilson asked.
Shante said with a smile: "You can think of it, the enemy can also think of it, now that the forest has been surrounded, if we swim across the river, there are only ten crossbowmen on the opposite bank, and we can only feed the fish in the river!" ”
"Big boss, it's not good, the fire, they're burning the woods!" A sentry ran up to Higg and shouted.
