Chapter 139: The Night of the Battle

800 remnants to defeat a regiment?

Jesting!

This is definitely a joke!

As a middle-level officer who graduated from the Central Military Academy, it is impossible for Wolf to believe that this kind of rhetoric is not too much of a joke.

Perhaps in the eyes of the layman.

It doesn't seem that 800 troops can defeat 1600 troops, isn't it just that there are 800 more people?

But is that really the case?

In a war of blood and fire, how can you win more with less?

There are many factors that need to be considered in a real war.

The first is the mysterious thing of morale.

A fierce army that is not afraid of death, even if their predecessors are cannon fodder and scum, it is enough to fight with elite troops.

And where does morale come from?

Numbers, supplies, equipment, faith, reinforcements, situation......

These innumerable factors constitute the so-called morale of a force,

So now let's take a closer look.

Among these many factors, is there anything that the Imperial Army has that the Kingdom Army does not have?

Number?

Supplies, equipment, or even faith ......?

I'm sorry!

The Imperial Army, which had just undergone a magical bombardment, did not possess any of the above victory factors.

On the other hand, the Kingdom Army.

Whether it is the gap in strength or the support in the rear, it is not comparable to the imperial army, even in terms of faith, people are holding the heart of revenge for victory, and the imperial army is only mechanically carrying out the orders of the young officer in front of them.

Which is stronger and which is weak, you can see it at a glance.

In the eyes of Wolfe, a professional soldier, only a layman with no command experience would easily say that less is more, the weak is stronger than the strong, and even 800 remnants swallow a regiment.

Not to mention doubling the number of troops.

In a real war, even an extra brigade of 120 people is enough to affect the entire battle situation.

And with a difference of 800 troops, coupled with the difference in various factors, if you want to win in this situation, even a real super general in the empire would not dare to boast of such a large Haikou, let alone a child officer who has never been to a military school?

Wolf's face was full of anger and disdain.

Angry that Vega joked about the lives of his soldiers, and disdained his youth and ignorance, who regarded war as child's play.

Trifling?

Then it's child's play!

In Vega's view, war is an unprecedented game, in which the wise man plays with the life of the fool at will, and this is a game in which the wise are qualified to live, and the stake in this child's play is life.

The war game of risking your life has begun.

The professional brigade deliberately slowed down, and sure enough, it lured the enemy to take the bait, and the enemy also fired a signal flare for help as expected, so what to do now is to take out this 400-strong army that has fallen into the trap.

"All ready. ”

"Three, two, one, release the arrow!"

Squads 1 to 5, occupying the commanding heights to the north, collectively unleashed arrows, blinding the pursuing troops in an instant.

"In the back, in the back there are crossbowmen. ”

The Kingdom Army was in a hurry, and a salvo caused them to lose nearly 20 soldiers, although it was harmless, but the most important thing was that this harassment allowed the enemy country's professional squadron to successfully break away from the battlefield and disappear into the night.

Now that the target is gone, Bill can only relocate the target to the upstairs where the arrow was fired.

So he gave the order and rushed to the place where the arrows were fired, but how could a large force be nimble with a squad of 10 people, and when they arrived at the location, it was not the Imperial army that was waiting for them, but another new salvo.

"Miscellaneous pieces of the Imperial Army!"

If he was teased a few more times, when the loss of the troops was close to 100 men, he could not bear it anymore, he organized a professional army of 5 people to rush to the place where the arrows were shot first.

At the speed of a pro, a squad of 10 people will certainly not escape.

But don't forget, Vega's Professionals Brigade is on standby, and their mission, in addition to harassment tactics, is to confront and stop enemy Professionals and keep friendly ordinary troops safe.

The five professionals of the Kingdom Army were killed before they were killed.

The remaining one, thanks to his agility, escaped the ambush of the Imperial Army's pros, and he was attacking the 10-man squad that was still in the future and had moved to the next target location.

"Squad leader, a professional has caught up. ”

After the break, a soldier hurriedly reported to the captain of the temporary squad, after all, the 10 of them were just ordinary people, and they were not enough for a professional to cut down.

"How many? a professional?"

"Vice Captain, take out the heavy crossbow of labor and management!"

The squad leader roared, took the heavy crossbow sent by the deputy captain, turned a corner, and aimed the heavy crossbow at the pursuing professional in the dark, and the first-level professional was unaware.

Turn around the corner.

The professional saw the bloodthirsty expression of the squad leader, as well as ......

Phew-

The bow is like a thunderbolt, and the arrow is like a meteor.

The crossbow bolt of the heavy crossbow flew towards the pursuing professional with unmistakable accuracy, and since the team leader released it at close range at the dead end, and the professional turned the corner and hit the crossbow mouth, the arrow could not be dodged at all.

Strike!

The crossbow arrows of the heavy crossbow pierced the professional's heart, and his eyes revealed disbelief before he died.

The squad leader snorted disdainfully, and pulled back the arrow in three steps and two steps.

It's not wrong for professionals to have magical defenses and ignore any ordinary weapons, but for professional magical defenses, the war research departments of various countries are also trying their best to develop weapons that ordinary people can shoot and kill professionals.

The Demonic Bolt is one of them.

The crossbow is just an ordinary crossbow, but the arrows are indeed made of demonic storage materials, which have the function of saving the magic power of professionals, but the cost is extremely expensive, and generally a regimental army will only be equipped with a box of such arrows, and it also requires professionals to regularly replenish the magic power of the arrows.

Because the magic inside the arrow will be lost over time.

While there's nothing wrong with this arrow being able to shoot a professional, it's easy to dodge with a professional's agility, unless you're able to shoot a team leader at almost zero distance, as the squad leader did.

Due to this, such weapons rarely appeared.

But less does not mean nothing, how to say that Wolf's army is also a standard regiment with a full formation.

At this point in the battle, there is no suspense.

The kingdom army came in a hurry, without occupying the high ground and defensive buildings, nor planning the route of retreat, and they were like headless flies, slowly consumed by the small forces of Vega until the whole line was routed.

Bill and the remnants of less than 30 men huddled inside the house.

The only thing they could do now was to pray that the reinforcements would find them before the Imperial Army, and they didn't even dare to make a head, because once they appeared, they might be spotted by the Imperial Army and instantly shot into a hedgehog.

Bill looked at the crumbling roof, and there was only one thought left in his mind-

Urban warfare may not be a gift from heaven for the Kingdom Army, but the beginning of a nightmare.
