Chapter 341: The Formation of Suspicions

It is recognized throughout the continent that the slave legions can never become the main army on the battlefield, because their years of malnutrition and lack of discipline have made them prone to rout on the battlefield.

Therefore, the role of this kind of legion is often used as cannon fodder in siege warfare, no general will foolishly put the slave legion in the front in the plain battle to open the way, once the slave legion begins to rout, not only will it have an impact on morale, but more importantly, they are easy to impact their own army formation in a panic.

Therefore, on the plain battlefield, it is generally not necessary to carry a slave army into battle, not only will it consume a lot of food, but it will not play a big role.

But Panick is really forced to have no choice this time, although there is news from the country that they will support Zhelun Province, but the support has not yet arrived.

So in order to delay Jason's progress, he can only bring these slave legions out to serve as cannon fodder, hoping to slow down Jason's continued aggression.

As for the solution to the easy escape of the slave army, he had already thought of it, that is, after the end of the war, the survivors would be separated from the slave country, and would be compensated by the kingdom, and even join the regular army.

For the sake of the rightful identity, this group of slaves can give up everything, because once they leave the mark of slave on their body, then he is a slave on the entire continent.

As for the fact that last night's sneak attack was also aimed at delaying Jason's advance, Panik believes that blind defense will not only not do what he wants, but will even accelerate the rout of his army.

After all, the information of the first few battles that the Iron Fang Leader had fought was on their table, and those weapons with great power and a range far beyond that of other regions were far beyond the power of ordinary camps like him.

As for withdrawing to the towns for garrison, it is even more unrealistic, because now that the large and small towns in the province of Jelen are transferring supplies, Jason led the army to attack the province of Gelen too suddenly, and they didn't have time to prepare.

And he didn't think that except for the walls of Jerlen's City, which could stop Jason's siege engines, the walls of those small towns three or four meters high could stop their attacks.

Now there are only three paths in front of Panik, either they succeed in holding Jason back and wait for other armies to come to their aid, or they will fall under the iron heel of Jason's army, or they will destroy Jason's army in a counteroffensive.

It's just that now it seems that it is impossible for them to make the last way, and after observing the severed knights' swords last night, he immediately realized why Jason dared to march on the province of Gelen without fear.

This kind of sophisticated weapon is not comparable to any country at all, you must know that the cavalry team under his command is already the most sophisticated configuration in the kingdom of Lopez.

It's hard to imagine that Jason would be able to equip a weapon of this caliber in large quantities.

If he knew that Jason's Iron Tooth Collar's direct army was all of this level of equipment, and there were 9,000 people, maybe Pannick would have taken his troops home directly.

Fortunately, he didn't bring all of Jason's direct troops, otherwise he would have ended the battle with the suppression of equipment alone.

This is like a battle between Kryptonite players and civilian players, civilian players feel that their equipment has reached the highest end, but they don't expect that other Kryptonite players have already made artifacts......

Very desperate gap.

As for why there is no slave legion on Jason's side, it is also because Jason and Leonidas think that the role played by this cannon fodder army in this world-earth war is really weak and pitiful.

So Leonidas divided the original slave army into three parts, those who could be trained, those who could not be trained, and those who were very good at fighting.

The first part was sent to a concentration camp north of Irontooth for training, where they would later be used as regular soldiers, but their training was brutal, and their instructor was a powerful knight from Sparta.

The third part is to grind life and death in the gladiatorial arenas of major cities, not only to generate income for Jason, but also to hone their fighting skills, Leonidas is ready to form an army of gladiators who have come out of this kind of smart life and death.

It's just that the current progress is a bit slow.

"My lord, something is wrong. ”

Lancelot came to Jason's side, he looked at the slowly approaching slave army in the distance and felt a little weird, this kind of cannon fodder army may not even be able to break through the area blocked by catapults, why would the general on the opposite side make such a senseless attack?

"Who is the commander of the opposing army?"

Jason asked suspiciously after seeing from a distance that the group of slaves was gradually becoming chaotic, but was quickly forcibly stabilized by the soldiers who accompanied the army and continued to move forward.

"Panik, a general who has risen step by step from the civilian ranks, has not awakened to supernatural powers, but has a high prestige among the army of the province of Geran. Hassan replied immediately.

"Difficult to deal with?"

"It's hard to deal with, and if it weren't for the help of catapults and Black God ballistas, it might be a hassle for us to break through his formation. ”

"Then order the catapults to stop their attack and let our soldiers go up to harvest. ”

At this time, although the slave army was still struggling to move forward, the camp had been broken up, and the slaves who had gathered together and were difficult to exert their combat effectiveness were even less threatening.

But now Jason's mind was full of doubts, he always felt that the Pannick general had sent the slave army for other purposes, but he had no clue about it.

Could it be that they came all the way to send people's heads?

"The order was given, and the pikemen stepped forward, and the shieldmen protected the archers behind, and Gareth led the cavalry corps to be ready to attack at any time, to force the crushing of their army from the flanks, and if they withdrew to the camp, to smash their gates with catapults and ballistas. ”

Since he couldn't think clearly, he didn't want to, and Jason planned to use the most direct method to force them out to fight and defeat the enemy from the front.

"Your Highness, if we do this, we may suffer great losses. Lancelot stepped forward and said.

"In every war, people die, and we have no other choice, since they are on our side, then blow them up. ”

Then Jason took another piece of paper from Hassan's hand and handed it to Lancelot: "And we will crush the province of Geralen as quickly as possible, and then use the city to resist Phil's army." ”

"I see, Your Highness. ”

On the other side, after seeing that Jason's army began to quickly form a formation and began to advance to his side, Pannick whispered with some regret: "Therefore, the suspicious formation seems to be of little use to him." ”
