Chapter 24: The Collapse of the Mountains
The Pidoutz army is a good defender, and those who are good at defending will naturally anticipate all kinds of adverse situations that may be encountered before the battle and prepare in advance.
For example, the left and right armies were defeated and had to retreat to the camp of the Chinese army for repairs, and they were also prepared for this situation.
As early as when the left and right armies were defeated and retreated, the Chinese army was already arranging to meet their retreat. It's just that the transfer of the army is not child's play, and it is difficult to complete it for a while, and the Molai army did not finish the work as usual, but let the synthetic beast army continue to press, forcing the Pitutz army to focus on defense, so the retreat of the left and right armies has only been completed less than half of it until now.
Now this situation is the most dangerous.
In the Art of War, there is a so-called "half-crossing attack", which means that if the enemy wants to attack when he crosses the river, it is best to attack while the enemy is halfway through. And now the situation of the Thracian army is exactly equivalent to "half-crossing".
The only thing the Duke of Piduz could do was to arrange for the reserve to rush to meet him, so as to avoid the frightened left and right flanks being completely defeated.
The army of synths came quickly, and even the Pitutz army was desperately hurrying, but it was still a beat slower after all. By the time they arrived, the synths had already stormed the camp and slaughtered the armies on the left and right flanks.
It is said that with the strength of those aristocratic armies, even if they can't defeat the synthetic beasts, they will at least be able to resist for a while. But their morale was lost, and they were retreating, and when they encountered the attack of the Synthetic Beast Legion, almost no one dared to resist, but they rushed to flee to the Chinese army, lest they run a step slower, and they would be chased by those terrifying giant dogs, bitten into a blur of flesh and blood.
A famous general in the Western Continent once said: "Only those who dare to fight can be called soldiers, and those who flee are only lambs to be slaughtered." This is a very appropriate word here, the screams, the sounds of escape, and the cries for help in the barracks on the left and right flanks...... The various voices were connected and chaotic. When Duke Pitutz's troops arrived, they found that a large number of soldiers of good strength were being slaughtered by the synths, and only a few who dared to fight barely held on.
They hurried forward and fought the synths.
Without the protection of the camp and the city walls, ordinary soldiers do not have a great advantage when facing synths. Although the Pidutz Army was the elite of the first class in the world, it was well known that the strongest of the "Mountain Corps" was the heavy infantry, and these light infantry who hurried to support them were at best the second-line troops of the Mountain Corps - or the reserves. Both the fighting ability and the will to fight are far inferior to their predecessors.
Fortunately, there were still a bit of tough guys in the armies on the left and right flanks, and the light infantry of the Pitutz army converged with these people, fighting and retreating, and finally retreated to the place where the Chinese army and the left and right armies were handed over.
But at a glance, the barracks on the left and right wings were already horizontal, and I don't know how many corpses were lying down.
"These armies are broken. Standing on the command platform, the Duke of Pitutz looked at the left and right armies who were desperately fleeing from the wolves, and even if they were received, they were still frightened, and sighed secretly in his heart, "I knew that I shouldn't have brought them here!"
"It's their own choice. The staff said, "If you want to get benefits, you always have to take risks." Fighting a war is the same as gambling, there are wins and losses, they just lose. ”
Duke Pituz smiled bitterly: "Maybe...... We're going to lose too. ”
"Impossible!" said the staff confidently, "there is no army in the world that can shake the mountain of Pituz, not humans, not orcs, not even this mess of big dogs in front of them! As long as we don't mess up, don't talk about this in front of us, even if we come a few times more, we can't help it!"
Duke Pitutz couldn't help but smile as he looked at his confident face.
Naturally, this staff member is also a member of the Pitutz family, and all the people of the Pitutz family are confident in the defensive ability of the Mountain Legion. This confidence does not come out of thin air, but has been accumulated bit by bit in the past years and in the battles.
No matter what kind of enemy they face, the Mountain Legion can hold it.
In this legion, from the commander-in-chief to the reserves, everyone firmly believes this.
This is called the soul of the army.
The Duke of Piduz was naturally convinced of this, but at this moment, his heart was slightly shaken.
The current situation is really a bit unfavorable......
After a moment's hesitation, he ordered about half of the heavy infantry to be drawn from the walls and divided into two routes to support the left and right armies, helping the soldiers who were fighting hard to secure their defenses.
The heavy infantry, with heavy footsteps, soon reached their respective targets. With their joining, the originally crumbling defense line immediately became stable, and the synthesizers could no longer shake the temporary position of the Thracian army, and after several attacks, although there were some gains, their own losses were greater.
If this continues, until the synth is lost, it won't be able to fight many Pidoutz troops.
Looking at this scene, the Duke of Pitutz finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But on the walls of the Iron Lock Fortress, Aaron was very dissatisfied.
His grievances were not directed at the Synth Legion, but at himself.
(Damn! I made a mistake just now!I should have commanded the Synth Legion to drive the rout on the left and right flanks to attack the Chinese army, instead of letting the Synth Legion kill on a large scale, and as a result, although I harvested a lot of experience points, I wasted a lot of time!)
(If they had hurried the time, the Thracians might not have had time to build a defensive line...... )
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and he also knows that it is useless to be angry, and what he has to do now is to remedy it quickly.
After a little thought, he decided what to do.
The control crystal glowed slightly, and the synths that were originally attacking the Thracian army's position suddenly let out a howl and retreated in unison.
"What are they doing here?"
"Are you going to run away?"
"How is that possible! There must be a trick!"
The Thracian army talked a lot, but no one chased after them stupidly, but they became more and more vigilant.
But soon, they knew why.
The retreating synths began to devour the corpses of Thracian soldiers killed in the barracks.
Seeing this scene, Duke Pitutz's heart suddenly became cold, and the whole person seemed to be stuffed into ice water, cold to the bone.
He already knew the enemy's tricks, but he couldn't do anything.
(Perhaps...... The name of the "mountain" of the Pitdoutz family is in my hands...... )
