172: Tense Battle Round 5

When the reinforcements from the inner city arrived, they could only look at the corpses all over the ground, and hundreds of scarred Flying Army soldiers with weapons in their hands looked at them with fierce eyes.

"The commander of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion of the 1st Division of the Praetorian Guard in the Lower Imperial City, Millekon, has been ordered to come to support!" The cavalry commander who arrived looked at the murderous eyes of the soldiers of the Flying Army, and slowly approached them with weapons in his hand, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he shouted repeatedly.

He didn't want to be up against such a bunch of crazy people.

One hundred against one thousand, and also killed a thousand people on the other side without leaving a piece of armor, these are really a lord's private army, when did the combat effectiveness of the private army be so strong.

Aslan immediately waved his hand, Zhao Yun understood, and asked the soldiers to retreat and rest, but they did not immediately sit on the ground to rest, but took out their dry food and water to replenish their strength, but their eyes kept sweeping over the cavalry in front of them, looking like they might rush up at any time, and that fierce aura was really scary.

Aslan glanced at the battlefield, more than half of these temple protectors had been killed by Queen Medusa, her ground thorns seemed to have eyes, and she didn't hurt a single Flying Army soldier from beginning to end.

The remaining half was solved by Zhao Yun, who had been rushing to the forefront, penetrating the enemy's reluctantly assembled military formations again and again, making it easier for the cavalry to rush into the battle formation.

In the face of the two major killing gods, the Temple Protector Army quickly collapsed, fighting on their own, and was finally killed by the Flying Army soldiers one by one.

"I want to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I have important information. Aslan was not polite, took a deep breath, let the originally shaky body stand up straight, and said calmly.

Milekorn nodded, and asked the Flying Army soldiers to follow, and they retreated to the inner city as quickly as possible.

When they safely withdrew to the inner city, the temple guards were belated, and surrounded the entire inner city to death, unlike the original loose inside and tight outside, obviously there was a special military order.

Aslan finally meets the legendary second prince.

This man looked to be in his twenties, and strangely, in this dangerous time, this guy was dressed in military uniform. A gorgeous gold armor, with gold trim on the edge of the armor, and even the sleeves and neckline with wavy lace, is the favorite gorgeous armor of the nobles this year.

This man saw Aslan and walked slowly, with a face, the skin was the kind of pale that the nobles yearned for the most, looking slender and delicate, with long black hair, a high nose bridge, and a pair of eyes like sapphires, his eyes were clear, and he was really a rare beautiful man.

When walking, not fast or slow, faintly with an awe-inspiring momentum, it seems that he has been trained in extremely strict etiquette since childhood!

The second prince hugged Aslan and said indifferently: "Fortunately, Aslan City Lord, can you tell me the situation on the front line?"

Aslan nodded, without any hesitation, and told the situation on the frontline battlefield, and at the same time said the approximate strength and arrangement of the Temple Guardian Army.

"You mean, the Temple Protector Army besieging the Imperial Capital is no more than 30,000 troops. Prince Kira became a little excited.

A general next to him said in disbelief: "Impossible, I personally reconnoitred the enemy camp, and there are at least 50,000 troops, and maybe even more." ”

"You saw it with your own eyes. Aslan asked.

The general wanted to refute, but after thinking about it subconsciously, he said with an ugly face: "At that time, I counted the flags of the enemy's camp, as well as the tents of the barracks......"

Aslan immediately understood what he meant by 50,000, in the Zaft continent, each marching tent generally houses twenty people, and one flag leads a wing, about two thousand people.

"If that's just a ploy by the enemy. Aslan said disdainfully.

"Suspicious tactics?"

Many of the nobles and generals present were confused by the new term Aslan.

"If we put up a few more flags and add many more marching tents, then we can claim to be a hundred thousand troops, Your Excellency General, did you lead your troops to charge into battle at that time?"

Aslan's reply made Prince Kira's eyes light up suddenly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Aslan's words.

"Then how can you be sure that the Temple Protector Army has less than 30,000 troops?" the general asked unwillingly.

"It's easy, kill it!" Aslan crouched on the ground, drawing a simple map and a simple formula with the water in the kettle.

"There are only 662 churches in the entire empire, and the guards of each church range from 50 to 200, and we have an average of 100 soldiers, and at most 70,000 troops, plus the soldiers from the neighboring cities to support, but it can't be too many, otherwise the actions of the temple will definitely be exposed, and at most we can only support 30,000 or 40,000 troops. ”

Aslan pointed to the frontline position.

"Princess Arafa defected, she didn't take many troops with her at all, at most fifty or sixty thousand, most of these troops are still rebellious lord troops, even if Princess Alpha is inserted into the temple guard army in advance, it is impossible to exceed 10,000 at most, otherwise it will definitely be discovered by those old generals in the army, and when I left, two consecutive waves of support rushed to assist Princess Arafa, each wave had almost 30,000 troops, and more than 100,000 troops barely trapped the army of the great prince with the help of the canyon. ”

The generals on the city wall suddenly realized.

As Aslan said, it is impossible for these soldiers of the Temple Guardian Army to appear out of thin air, even if tens of thousands of militia are pulled out of them, it is not enough to form combat effectiveness, and such a large-scale movement of people, how can they avoid the eyes and ears of the empire, the militia is not like the church guard soldiers, they can move around with the warrant of the church, ordinary people want to go to other towns, there must be a way, otherwise the local defenders have the right to kill on the spot.

"If the imperial capital had 50,000 garrisons, it wouldn't have been rushed over so easily, although there were many checkpoints along the way, but in fact, the number of people in these checkpoints was not much, and the most important thing was that the support speed was too slow, and there was only one reason for such a slow support speed. Aslan said here, pausing.

"There are not enough troops to deploy reinforcements everywhere, only one or two mobile brigades can be placed between several checkpoints. Prince Kira's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"That's right, and one of my men infiltrated the enemy camp before entering the city, and was sure that many of the tents inside were empty. ”

Spreading out the last information, Prince Kira did not hesitate, and shouted loudly: "All arms are ready to fight, listen to my orders at any time!"

"How long can my imperial brother support it in the Broken Heaven Gorge?" Prince Kira asked seriously as he looked at Aslan.

Aslan thought for a moment.

"There should be more than ten days, and the city of Axin behind the Broken Sky Gorge has been occupied by me, and I have asked Raul to transfer the materials in the entire Axin City, and at the same time recruit troops and horses, and prepare for battle, but when I came, I had already taken away five thousand troops, and the battlefield position, Captain Ederson of Fort Glamis is gathering the remnants of the army, and there should be a lot of force at that time. ”

"Good!"
