Now that the plan had been formulated, the troops were naturally dispatched at once, and our superior forces were quickly assembled, leaving the elite of the two brigades to continue to clear the remnants of the corps and launch a tentative attack on the city center, while the remaining large forces marched westward to attack the remnants of the corps in the barracks. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I was on my horse, and next to me was Philip and the other knights. Huron did a good job in this battle, and although he lacked experience in leading troops, he did a good job of commanding the troops, so I was relieved to hand over the Second Army to him.

We were fast enough to not only reach the barracks in twenty minutes, but also cleared the scattered regimental barricades along the way. The robbers who had recently defected to the Legion and many of the Legion's recruits knew that they had failed, so they laid down their arms and surrendered. We also left a small group of barbarians to gather them and guard them. A dozen barbarians guarding a few hundred soldiers, it's still interesting.

The so-called Legion City Barracks is actually a residential area with open space, and there are no fortifications here, but the Legion soldiers still rely on the heavy weapons and chariots to hold on. Their fire is fierce and their range is long enough to launch some counter-attacks even on the cannons we sent to the western wall.

I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the legion troops is very good, we know the troops of the alliance, their equipment and combat qualities are much stronger than the bandit troops, but they are still ridiculed by our soldiers. As for the Legion troops, they are happy to treat them as opponents of equal strength. You can tell what we think of these soldiers and get a general idea of their strength. The fact that the legion can beat the troops of the alliance so badly that they retreat immediately shows that their combat effectiveness is very strong. Even if ten years have passed, we can still see the morale and strength of the five elite legions of the Subic Kingdom from those veterans.

Of course, when our large forces arrived, their heavy firepower weapons and chariots were of little use, and no matter how brave they were, it was of little use. Carrying magic damage and the shot of a bow and arrow, the giant lifted an Abaron chariot with his strong arms, blocking a stone projectile coming from a distance.

"Boom!" The giant took a step or two back, and a huge dent was punched in the chariot, and the internal drive was all damaged. The ballistas on the chariot were also shattered, and the chariot's defenses were simply unable to resist the power of the magic trebuchet's cannon.

However, these trebuchets were fired only once, and our large forces broke through their defenses and rushed over. The car's ballistae did a lot of damage, and even the thick-skinned giants were wounded. But the giants are more agile than they are, and the skeleton troops will quickly overwhelm them. It didn't take much effort for our troops to overturn the chariots, shattering two magic trebuchets and many other common catapults. The mages who powered the Magic Trebuchet also surrendered, and the area was soon occupied by us, leaving the Legion's soldiers with no choice but to surrender or die in the face of an enemy ten times their size.

We collected their weapons, leaving a brigade to guard the hundreds of prisoners, and then gathered two besieging forces and rushed from different directions towards the center of the city.

.......

In the downtown area, in the spacious city council building, Rooney is commanding the remaining 3,000 troops ready for a last-ditch effort.

The inhabitants of the city centre have long since been expelled by the legions, and the remaining dignitaries have been taken hostage and guarded. The Legion's troops no longer had magic trebuchets, but they blocked the streets with some damaged chariots, built strong barricades (the work of magicians) in important locations, pushed large catapults up to high places, and used a large number of archers and ballistas to block the enemy troops. Rooney had already thought about the fate of the troops on the other side of the barracks, there weren't as many troops attacking here as he thought, and he also heard the sound of cannons coming from the west side of the city and the magic stone projectiles flying through the sky. The heavy equipment on the side of the barracks is estimated to be finished, and this failure in street fighting has taught him a good lesson, but this kind of lesson still has to wait until later analysis, and what he needs to think about most now is whether to defend or "escape".

Yes, run away, not evacuate. Rooney didn't care about the fame anymore, and breaking through from the city might save the lives of these people, but this extremely failed battle made the Legion lose face, and lost more than 10,000 soldiers, which would be a big blow to the Legion's future strategic plans, and this operation was a complete failure. The legion received nothing, but suffered heavy casualties. He knew that if he broke out, he would be punished most severely as the main person responsible for the defeat, even if he was a master of battle, even if he was an old man after the legion came to the alliance, it would not end well.

The people around him put forward some suggestions, some people set up a city to defend the city, and fight with each other to break the net, so as not to break through and be executed and humiliated. There are also people who suggest surrendering, with so many troops and strong men, and a combat master, if they surrender, they will definitely get preferential treatment, at least they will not die directly. There are also those who think that it is better to run away with this force, run to other parts of the alliance, collect the remnants, buy some bandits who can't get along, and then go back when the limelight is over and the legion needs it, although the reputation is not good, but at least the troops and lives are saved. There are also people who directly suggest fleeing to the forest, they have a lot of food, a lot of wealth of Amur, and even thousands of troops, and when they get to camp there, they can live well, at least it is better than dying.

Rooney thought for a while, and the rest of the officers were also sweating anxiously, and the peripheral troops reported that more and more troops were coming to attack, and the large forces of the other side were estimated to be arriving soon, or even already. The officers kept wiping their sweat, they were not afraid of death, but they also thought that it was very bad to die like this.

''Immediately gather troops and prepare to break out, throw away all the heavy weapons, and break out from the north as fast as possible!'' Rooney took one last look at the city defense map and finally made up his mind.

The officers breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked a more important question: "What will we do when we break out?" ‘’

''Go back, go back to the Legion!'' Rooney's eyes were firm, and he said word by word. The expressions of the officers around him were a little stunned, and there were some doubts.

''I've lost the battle, it's my problem, it doesn't matter if I die.'' But the Legion still needs these thousands of children, and many of them have their homes here, and we have to go back, and they are still needed there. Rooney said as he silently took off the medals that had accompanied him since the kingdom, and also pulled off a ribbon that symbolized his status as a general. The rest of the officers looked at each other, saluted him respectfully, and then took down their medals and medals and ribbons, which symbolized military merit and status, and put them on the table together, and then rushed out together, shouting orders to break through.

In the hall, there were only two people left. One is Rooney, and the other is a young but scarred officer. Unlike the others, he did not take off the ribbon of his military exploits. The ribbon wasn't as elaborate as Rooney's, and it was a little whitish washed. It was a very simple, new ribbon, which had been made by the Legion itself in the past few years, imitating the specifications of the kingdom.

''Laxisdale, please. Rooney glanced at the thin, sturdy young man with cloudy eyes, walked up to him, and handed him his last medal.

''I will spill my blood here, I will fight like you, please erect a monument to my name!'' ‘’

After the young officer finished speaking, he saluted solemnly, and then walked out with his sword in his hand, clutching the medal tightly.

Rooney looked at the back of the young man going out, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

That medal was given to him when he was a young man as the captain of a death squad. And the task of that young officer named Laxidale is to do everything in his power to block the attacking troops when they break through!

Rooney saluted in the direction of the young man, and then resolutely walked out of the hall.

.......

To our surprise, the ballistas and catapults were rarely used, and in front of us were hundreds of legionnaires standing in a row, staring at us. The soldiers of these legions are brave, brave like never before! I unleashed a royal fireball that, like the power of a cannon, shattered the bodies of several soldiers. But even so, there were many people who dragged their broken arms and frantically brandished their weapons towards us, and even carried some explosive items to try to die with the barbarians and militia in front of them.

Our archers and musketeers will take these people out one by one. Our barbarians plunge their swords into their bodies. They were bleeding, and even if they only had one arm left, they had to throw a few punches at foes who were far stronger than themselves. I was so shocked by this scene that even if I still had mana, I couldn't release my magic. Fang Zi also looked at it blankly, at first she still had some admiration and emotion, but looking at those legionnaires who were covered in fire and wanted to send flames to the enemy, she couldn't say anything.

As we watched the army dwindle and the leader of the senior warriors fighting with the five barbarian fighters, I felt a little sad.

This is the real war, the other side is also a human being, and it is also a person with flesh and blood and feelings, there is no real justice, everyone is fighting for themselves and their beliefs. There are no protagonists, no NPCs, no villains and bosses, all we do is for us to survive better, to fight for the people we want to protect, and to work hard for the beliefs we keep.

At this moment, I finally understood the efforts of our revolutionary ancestors before the crossing, and I also learned more about their spirit.

''Unfortunately, we are enemies. I said with some emotion as I looked at the senior soldier who wore an officer's uniform and finally collapsed underneath.

''Admirable enemy. Philip added, and then led his troops on the offensive.

I saw that after the fall of the high-ranking warrior, the barbarian fighters who killed him performed a chest-hugging ritual on him, which was their courtesy to the warriors, and a tribute to the fallen brave.

We continued to advance, but there was no longer a shadow of the corps troops. In addition to the scattered attackers, there are only large equipment that has been abandoned and can be damaged. I am not surprised that the troops surrounding the north told us that the troops in the city had broken through the barrier with a strong momentum.

Because I believed that the other party was desperately rushing out, in the vast hall of the tall building, I saw a pile of medals and ribbons, and a dagger stuck in the best one.
