"Chapter 101: The First Legion-Level Battle"
The Legion's vanguard crashed into the Sea of Skulls, causing a great wave. The Legionnaires www.biquge.info raised their shields to block the swords of the rushing skeletons, and then picked up their weapons and slashed them into pieces with a swing of their weapons. This is where the weakness of the skeleton soldier is reflected, and a low-level warrior can smash a low-level skeleton soldier with a full swing of his strength. Even an ordinary person, with a weapon and armor, can be on a par with a level 4 big skeleton soldier.
And in front of the legion's well-equipped and well-trained heavy infantry, these level 2 and 3 skeletons rushed over as fragile as paper paste.
However, the strength of the skeleton army is also evident at this time, no matter how many losses or casualties are great, the skeleton soldiers will not stop advancing. Endless skeletons come and go, and the soldiers of the Legion fight their way to the ground, wielding weapons and even shields to destroy the Arhats. Catapults and heavy crossbows in the rear are also constantly being fired, but although the damage is huge, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the number of skeletons. They didn't know how many skeletons they had killed, only that the remains of the skeletons were knee-high as they were forced to retreat. And the most frightening thing is that from the chopped skeletons crawl out of the skeletons, half or even half of them are left, and they crawl under the feet of the legionnaires and launch annoying attacks on the soldiers from below.
"Ahh A legionnaire was about to shatter a skeleton crawling from his shield when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his crotch, and a bony arm was clutching him "there". He began to regret not wearing the full suit of armor, as this weight cost him dearly. He stomped on it in anger, not crushing the skeleton's head, but shattering the skeleton's other bones, and he knocked off the arm under his crotch, but when he turned around, one of the skeleton soldiers had stuck his sword in his eye.
In the heart-rending screams, the shield array was opened a gap, and then a group of skeletons poured into the queue from this gap, and the soldiers in the back row decisively raised their spears to thrust upward, but the change of their goals also increased the pressure on other shield-wielding heavy infantry, and several infantry finally couldn't hold the weight of the dense skeleton soldiers and the endless attacks, the shields were pushed away or even destroyed, and the skeletons continued to pour into the team. Before the barbarians and militia brigades arrived, the first line of defense of the legion had already collapsed.
"Get rid of those skeletons!" The general of the Legion roared angrily, and a cyan sword swept through, slicing through a large skull that rushed in.
The mages invoke the magic and chant (more complex magic will be used, mine...... With a spell, unleash area after area spell to destroy one skeleton after another. Of course, these magicians are basically apprentice-level magicians, and the highest is not formal, their role is still too small, and the magic power does not last long.
The battle lasted only a few minutes, and the damage of the skeleton soldiers was close to two thousand, but the legion's shield array was also destroyed at this time, and countless skeleton soldiers continued to launch endless attacks from the flanks, and the barbarians behind the skeletons also rushed forward at this time, wielding broadswords to slash the enemy in front of them.
The Legion units were in a terrible situation, dealing with twice as many enemy units (mostly skeletons) and suffering from cannon shells fired from nearby high slopes. The generals of the legion were angry with the troops guarding the high slopes, believing that they had fled in fear and had not protected the important terrain. Little did he know that hundreds of goblins had quietly captured the high ground under the cover of two teams of archers. If he had known that the troops guarding there had been wiped out, he might have felt a little sad for them and said a few words of praise.
But words didn't mean much by this time, the soldiers of the legion were no longer in the mood to listen to him, the barbarians and the militia had rushed into their ranks, and the two sides had already begun a frantic battle, and the high-ranking warriors used all kinds of moves, not only for victory, but also for their own lives.
"Damn skeletons!" A mid-level warrior of the Legion was knocked to the ground by the barbarians and subsequently captured by two skeletons. He threw a punch and knocked the skeleton's head straight out with his fist, picking up his sword to block the barbarian's ensuing blow. The captain was pressed directly to the ground, his weapon sparked, and the sword in his hand shattered a horn. He gathered all his strength to get up, and the weapons of both sides collided together. That level 3 barbarian was very strong, and the squad leader quickly couldn't support it, but he glanced at it and saw his squad leader rushing towards here.
''As long as you hold on, you can get up!'' He thought so, and for a moment he had the strength to block the broadsword.
''Smack! With a crisp metallic sound, the sword in the mid-level warrior's hand finally couldn't support it and broke in two.
''TMD Broken Sword!'' He roared in rage, and the sharp broadsword landed on him, directly on his neck, and then flew out a cloud of blood.
The barbarian drew his sword, wiped the blood splattered on his face with his arm, and then pierced the chest of the squad leader who rushed over, and punched him in the head with the strength of an intermediate warrior to kill him enough.
Another corpse fell, next to the corpse whose head had been separated from the body, blood gushing out and mixing with the blood in the vicinity. The barbarians ignored the two corpses and rushed at the other legionnaires...
Similar scenes are constantly staged, the soldiers of the legion are constantly losing and retreating under the impact of this huge army, and the troops on the high ground are gradually approaching at this time, the generals of the legion know that now their troops have been gradually divided, once they can't stop it, the heavy firepower troops on the high ground that are gradually approaching, and the remnants of the defeated troops in Sig Town will attack together, and then this regular army of more than 10,000 people will face the danger of annihilation! And they have read some books about the East, and they know that the way the Easterners fight is even more brutal. Battles on the continent, except for bandit battles and against alien races, are rarely fought in a life-or-death manner. Both sides will try their best to avoid personnel losses, retreat when the situation is not good, at most cede land and pay compensation, and then lead troops to fight back after a while, there is always a chance to make a comeback. It doesn't matter if you are captured, as long as the status is sufficient, you can still guarantee safety by paying the ransom.
But the battle in the East is different! If you read a book about the war of the Orientals, you will find that the Orientals yearn for a war of a unified nature, and the goal of every battle is to destroy the living forces of the other side and destroy the other country's country to complete the reunification. They were particularly brutal on the battlefield, and their captives were treated no better, and their battles generally ended in the destruction of one side. For the two troops commanded by the Orientals in front of them, they had enough reason to believe that the other side would fight until they were completely annihilated!
And... There is no retreat for the legions! Ten years of living like bandits had made the soldiers who clinged to the glory of the kingdom as savage as the robbers, and their purpose was to annex them, but their goals were much smaller than those of the tyrants of the East. Such two armies fight together, once they kill the red eye, they can't even retreat, and the last one to be destroyed must be the legion's side! How will the two generals deal with the legion leader at that time?
Throw out all the Burst Spears, throwing them as you retreat, and stop their attack no matter what! The generals roared angrily, and the soldiers behind them immediately took out the precious magic items, and after unlocking the locks, the weapons that began to buzz and burst sparks were thrown out like firecrackers.
''Boom!'' "It's the same effect as the bomberman's bomb explodes, except this time it's the unit with the bomberman. The skeletons were destroyed by the explosions and flames, and the barbarians were left to dodge in disarray. The militia brigade had evacuated and taken refuge when the spears attacked, but caused a lot of casualties in the chaotic and dense battlefield.
The explosions were sound wave after wave, and at this distance, the Burst Bomber also began to drop the enhanced version of the bomb in his hand, and the flames soared and rolled in the two armies, and continued to attack, the casualty number was getting bigger and bigger, and the troops of the Legion also relied on the fifty expensive burst spears to successfully distance themselves from the other side.
''Retreat! Withdraw to Amur! ‘’
The commander of the legion who led the army gave the order to retreat, and as the horn sounded again, the large force of the legion quickly "withdrew" the battlefield with the same speed as it had charged towards the town of Sig.
''Ran away?'' Stop them! On the high slope position, watching the huge legion team below begin to retreat, Finch frowned, and with a wave of his hand, a cannon next to him immediately fired a special cannonball, which exploded in colorful colors in the air. But what this fireworks-like beauty foreshadowed was indeed a nightmare for the legionnaires.
Hundreds of troops, consisting of militiamen and locals, lined up in a row, led by a dozen musketeers, blocking the back of the retreat of the regiments. In front of these were regular army soldiers squatting on the ground, also lined up, with shields and guns.
''Rush over!'' The legion was basically infantry in this sortie, with only a few important figures on horseback. However, this kind of speed and impact is enough for them, and the opponent's formation cannot stop their footsteps. Maybe the women with the big muskets are very powerful, but they still can't stop the merciless trampling of this "retreating" and heartfelt troops, and anyone who prevents them from escaping will be completely torn apart by them!
''Shoot!'' The 2nd level musketeer standing at the front of the line gave the order, and all of a sudden, the entire platoon behind the regular army took up arms.
''Muskets?'' The battle master commander who rushed to the front was stunned for a moment, those were indeed muskets, but the caliber was several times smaller than the large iron pipe in the musketeer's hand, and the body of the gun was very slender.
''Bump! The flames were fleeting, the muzzle of the gun shook slightly, and as wisps of black smoke rose, the legionnaires who rushed to the front fell to the ground, and the musketeer's large musket also fired deadly bullets, claiming the lives of at least ten mid-level soldiers, not only killed by bullets, but also trampled to death by their companions behind them. The master jumped off his horse, and his horse was now on the ground, twitching, and the hole in his body was bleeding blood, staining the soles of the soldiers' boots red.
The soldiers standing in the first row, after firing, stepped back, reloading as they retreated, while the soldiers in the back immediately opened fire. The troops of this unit were constantly retreating, the front loading of flintlock pistols was constantly loading, and the casualties of the regiment troops were increasing. Although the troops on Fang Zi's side were also fighting while retreating, it didn't take long for the troops of the legion to rush over.
''Rush over!'' With a roar of rage, the master leaped to his feet, gathering all the strength to destroy the entire musket array with a single blow.
''Bump! Rumble! ‘’
Two huge forces collided in the air, and the battle master of that legion was directly thrown out by the wild current of this power collision, and fell to the ground heavily.
