Section 257 Hammett's Wound
The battle reports from the front are not optimistic, the army of the Fatet Empire is overwhelming, and the garrison of the Dereis Empire is completely vulnerable under its strong attack, according to the direction of their attack, at least Thorntok cannot avoid the threat of war.
At a meeting of the Lord's Palace, Moon Shadow made it clear that "the battle can be fought anywhere, however, I don't want Thorntok or Hawaii Island to be ravaged by the flames of war!" ”
Roleier frowned and said: "Although the empire has called on the lords of various places to lead private armies to resist the invasion, after all, there is no formal order, and it is no problem for us to garrison troops on the borders of the territory, but if we send troops across the territory...... That's a lot of criticism. ”
Moon Shadow commanded, "Humph! Don't care so much about it first, Ottawa, the city defense army should do a good job of preparing for the expedition, Rollaire, the relevant logistics work must keep up, once the army of the Fatt Empire breaks through the Duis fortress, we will meet it! ”
"Yes, sir."
Roel and Ottaway replied in unison.
The situation was so urgent that the Emperor's envoy from the Imperial Capital arrived at Thorntok three days later through the teleportation array at the headquarters of Lu Mingchun in Treston.
It was an old acquaintance of Moon Shadow and the others--- Count Texas.
However, the image of the old earl was very different from the last time---- his hair was completely white, his originally straight body was also a little rickety, and his face showed a tired look.
After reading out His Majesty's will, Moon Shadow invited Count Dexie and his party into the living room to take a break.
"What are you, Lord Earl?"
Moon Shadow asked, a little confused, wondering what had caused the pampered Earl to look so old.
"Count Alice. The empire is in danger, the times are difficult! ”
Count Texas shook his head and let out a long sigh.
The Indili Empire and the Fateh Empire went to war without declaring war this time. All countries waited and watched, and the Church of Light only took money and did nothing, and the army went all the way to the heart of the empire; On the other hand, the army was trying to cut off the economic lifeblood of the empire.
Now, the four main legions of the empire ---- the Wild Leopard, the Burning Phoenix, the Fire Tiger, and the Liga Legion, the Burning Phoenix Legion is defending Kyoto, the Crazy Leopard and the Rapid Lion want to stop the attack of the Indili Empire, and only the Fire Tiger Legion is the Fire Tiger Legion that stops the Fateh Empire---- what is especially troublesome is that the Fire Tiger Legion has just set off from Traeston, waiting for them to arrive. I'm afraid the Duis fortress has fallen long ago.
"Count Alice, Your Majesty has authorized that the city defense army of the land lord can be expanded to 20,000 people." Count Texas said.
Moon Shadow sneered.
Expand? It's just a coaxing to make the lords dig out of their own pockets. It's just a matter of recruiting troops to fight for His Majesty the Emperor, and when the war is over, it's not the emperor's words to cut or not?
However, she did not want to debate the ---- with the old earl now.
Moon Shadow had a loyal expression on her face: "Lord Count, please tell Your Majesty that I will set off with my army on the same day, and I will definitely arrive before the fall of Duisburg!" ”
"In this way, there will be Count Alice Law, and on the day of victory, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give a heavy reward!" A satisfied smile appeared on Count Texas' face.
Heavy rewards?
I don't want to give me the whole empire
Moon Shadow despises this flashy promise in her heart. But there was still a slight look of interest on his face---- which was too much. With her identity, being overzealous is fake.
On the third day of the envoy's departure, Hava began to mobilize urgently, two dragon knight brigades and an Olevin hoplite brigade were drawn first, and then, a dragon knight brigade also took off into the air, flying on the two dragons at the front---- dragon knight Alto and dragon knight Fenna, the main and deputy commanders of the lord's guard, and flew on a green dragon in the middle. It was none other than ---- Moon Shadow, lord of the Hawaii realm.
(Note: Another dragon knight, Yasha, has become Ottawa's right-hand man.) )
It was getting close to dusk. In the distance, dust was flying, and flocks of birds rose into the sky.
Hammett stared at the smoke and dust in the distance with a solemn expression. sighed softly: "Damn, these guys caught up so quickly, don't these Fats need to rest?" ”
"Commander, we are still more than twenty miles away from the fortress, and we will definitely be caught up if we continue like this!" A young general frowned.
"Commander, you lead the cavalry troops to retreat first, and I will lead the infantry to block the attack behind, anyway, I can't let the troops be lost in their hands." Another middle-aged general suggested.
A smile appeared on Hammett's face: "Hawken, your suggestion is good, but it should be me who issued the order, and I, Hammit, am the commander of the Third Legion." ”
His gaze swept over the officer in front of him, his face turned pale, and he ordered: "Rooney, you lead the 1st Cavalry Division and my direct cavalry to retreat to the Duis Fortress first, without delay; Hawken, you lead the cavalry units of the 3rd and 2nd Divisions to set up the 2nd Blocking Position 10 miles away, the infantry of the 2nd Division led by Westlin to withdraw to the 2nd Blocking Position, and I lead the infantry of the 3rd and 4th Divisions to block the enemy here. ”
"Legion Commander, I'll stay!" Hawken shouted.
"No, Legion Commander, I'll stay!"
Several other officers also quarreled.
"Enough!"
Hammett yelled, and the officers fell silent, and some of the soldiers in the distance looked at the area.
Hammit glared at the officers and scolded: "Cheer up Lao Tzu, what are you robbing?" Do you think this is going into a cave room? Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, look at your little talent, are you still like soldiers? Act Now"
"Yes!"
Several officers glanced at each other and reluctantly returned to their respective ranks.
After seeing the cavalry units and the infantry units of the 2nd Division advance in turn, Hammett commanded the infantry units left behind to organize into a dense defensive formation, relying on the terrain to lay out the first line of defense.
The sound of hooves rolled like heavy thunder, and the first to come into view was one of the main legions of the Fateh Empire, the famous Iron Moon Legion. Leading this team is none other than Theodore, the commander of the Iron Moon Legion.
Like the god of war, Theodore's whole body swelled with golden fighting energy, and it crashed into the infantry phalanx like a meteor. The sharp cavalry spears of the front-row gunners were shattered by the fighting spirit the moment they touched him, and the soldiers flew backwards as if they had been hit hard, blood spurting wildly from their mouths.
Behind him, the knights of the Iron Moon Legion seemed to be incarnated as demons, one by one, with their bloodthirsty mouths, waving their cavalry spears and knightly swords, and for a while, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, desperate screams, and the sound of guns and swords piercing into the human body. Become the main theme on the battlefield.
Stay alive!
This is the wish of all soldiers on the battlefield.
Hammit ordered the adjutant in a loud voice: "Orson, take twenty knights to block Theodore, the infantry units of the third and fourth divisions, and change the formation of crane wings." Be sure to stop them from moving on! ”
Theodore had gone crazy, he didn't even notice Hammet, who gave the order, but laughed wildly and stabbed out one shot after another, and in a matter of moments, more than a dozen soldiers of the Dresses Empire had died under his cavalry.
Suddenly, there was a shrill whistling sound from the right, and a little golden light appeared in the corner of his eye. "Damn the Dlesians!" Theodore scolded angrily, turned sharply, and rode his spear with all his might----
while
The lance was knocked back, and Theodore's spear was shaken to the side. He took advantage of the momentum to sweep. Swinging away the other cavalry spears, he realized that he had been surrounded by more than a dozen Drax knights, and his men were separated by infantry and were fighting. And those soldiers who had taken advantage of the terrain to cover jumped out one after another and stabbed at the surrounded Fatt cavalry, and those Fatt cavalry who were caught off guard screamed and fell off their horses.
"Die!"
Theodore was furious, and his spear was full of vindictiveness. After shaking off several mounted spears. Sharply pulled out the knight's sword, and with a pop. Knock off one of his besieging knights.
As if they were infected by him, the knights of the Iron Moon Legion also attacked desperately, often when the opponent stabbed their bodies with a single shot, they also stabbed each other's bodies with their spears at the same time.
"All together, these guys are crazy."
Orson, who was ordered to block Theodore, ordered people to attack Theodore, so as not to give him the opportunity to attack the ground with all his strength, while paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
Although the cavalry of the Fateh Empire was stronger than the infantry of the Dryth Empire, and the follow-up troops were still joining the battle, it was difficult to get rid of the infantry of the Dryth Empire---- and they had turned this battlefield into a cobweb---- not only trapping the pursuing enemy, but also trapping themselves under the command of Hammett.
However, Hammit's heart was also very anxious, although the Iron Moon Legion was successfully blocked, but his own troops were also deeply stammered, and if they continued, sooner or later they would not be able to resist the impact of the Fateh cavalry.
Is the second line of blocking positions completed? How far is the cavalry unit led by Rooney from the fortress? Own soldiers...... How long can it last?
Hammett knew very well in his heart that Theodore had only rushed into his own position because of his madness, and when they slowly stabilized, the battle would not be easy to fight, and he now had to think about how to make the soldiers sacrifice as little as possible.
While Hammett was pondering, the situation on the battlefield had begun to change, and Theodore suddenly let out a sharp roar, and he spotted a gap, and stabbed his spear into the chest of one knight like lightning, and then swept at another knight with a gun.
The knight saw the enemy smash the corpse of his comrade at him, and for a moment he was thrown off his horse, and Theodore shouted, and the knight's sword in his right hand slashed through the head of the other knight.
Fifty meters in front of him, Hammett was observing the situation on the battlefield with concern, Theodore smiled fiercely, raised his cavalry spear high, and the golden fighting spirit flashed on the tip of the spear.
"Die, Hammit!"
Theodore roared and threw his spear hard......
"Legion Commander!"
Hammett coughed up a mouthful of blood, a wry smile on his pale face, and although he avoided his heart, his left shoulder was completely destroyed, and the reason why he did not fall off his horse was because a personal guard supported him.
"Legion Commander, your wounds must be treated by a medician in time!"
Orson said eagerly.
Hammett nodded slightly: "Withdraw, Orson, next...... It's up to you......"
