"Marquis Patton, if we continue like this, we will be completely annihilated here, and we can only let the Guards Legion break out first, and turn to Duke Otto's lion army and Viscount Duke's storm army. ”

Princess Jina saw that the situation of the big battle outside was becoming more and more inclined to the side of the Black Eagle Army, so she said to the Marquis of Barton, because on the side of the Imperial Army, only 10,000 Guards Legion are cavalry, and the other 20,000 First Legion of the French Empire are heavy infantry, and it is too difficult to break through.

The only thing that can be said to be lucky is that because the magician has no way to use it, and he came to the border to deal with the barbarians, the French Empire equipped the First Legion with a batch of bows and crossbows, due to the difficulty and time of making bows and crossbows, the amount of equipment is not very much, only about five thousand.

It was by relying on the shield array and the bow and crossbow that the French Imperial Army was able to withstand the first wave of the Black Eagle Army's charge, and was not scattered by the sudden siege. However, because the long-range attack method of the bow and crossbow has been abandoned by the human empire of this world for too long, the number of arrows is not very good with the level of archers, and if the confrontation continues, once the arrows are consumed, the Black Eagle cavalry will charge.

The Black Eagle Cavalry is a group of light cavalry created by the Hans Empire specifically to restrain the barbarians, but their so-called light cavalry is compared to the canned heavy cavalry of the Human Empire, and compared to the simple leather armor or even no armor of the barbarians, it can already be regarded as heavy cavalry, and they also use half-body iron armor.

The Black Hawk cavalry of the Hans Empire was already in full position, but they did not launch a general attack in order to avoid casualties. After all, cavalry is very valuable, and it is much more cost-effective to chase and kill than to force a charge, not to mention that they are not heavy cavalry charging into battle.

What's more, the tens of thousands of reinforcements from the Hans Empire are still on the way, and the delay in time will have a greater advantage for the Black Eagle Army, so they are even less anxious.

When Marquis Barton heard Princess Gina's words, the expression on his face was also very solemn, and he was really a little shocked by the scene that appeared now. Because according to the previous plan, the object of the siege of this group of Black Eagle Army should be Duke's Storm Army, why is the situation all changed now, and his Imperial Army has fallen into a trap instead.

The most veteran, Marquis Patton understood that this delay would be very detrimental to the situation of the Imperial Army, and the longer the physical strength and combat effectiveness decreased, the more difficult it would be to break through. Duke has no hope of attacking tens of thousands of Black Eagle troops with this guy's man, and opening a gap is simply a fool's dream.

The only thing that can be counted on is Duke Otto's lion army, as long as 30,000 lion troops come to support, it will not be as simple as breaking through at that time, the lion army plus the combat effectiveness of the imperial army may be able to attack inside and outside to eat this black eagle army!

Now the Marquis of Patton did not know what the whole situation of the battlefield was, so it was not yet the time to panic, and even think about counterattacking the attack.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I can lead the guards to forcibly break through and ask Duke Otto for help, but there is one requirement, you must break through with me, this is the order that His Majesty the Emperor has given before, no matter what the circumstances, you must ensure your safety!"

Henry VII did give such an order to the Marquis of Patton when Gina came to the Northern Army, and Henry VII really had a fatherly feeling for this daughter. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Princess Jina is a daughter, and there is no conflict of interest between power and the throne.

Therefore, the Marquis of Barton plans to break through and bring Princess Gina back to ensure her safety to the greatest extent.

"No, I'm the commander of the Northern Legion, and in your absence, I must be with the Imperial Army!"

Princess Gina directly rejected Marquis Barton's suggestion, showing her tenacity and courage. And Princess Gina knew that as the commander of the French Imperial Army, if she abandoned the soldiers and left in this situation, it would be a serious blow to morale.

In this case, it was necessary to leave a commander in charge, and the Marquis de Patton was the former commander, but he was also the commander of the Guard. When breaking out, you must sit in the Guards. And the First Legion Commander, Marquis Stilwell, although he is at the same level as Marquis Patton in terms of title, is far from the same level in status, just an ordinary legion commander.

Once Princess Gina and Marquis Patton break through and leave at the same time, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the morale of the remaining Imperial First Legion, and they will have a feeling of being abandoned.

In the era of cold weapons, because there is no generation difference in weapons, it is more about looking at a kind of momentum. Once the morale of the First Legion of the Empire is low to the bottom, maybe the Black Eagle Army will collapse with a single charge, and the national consciousness in this era is not as strong as in later generations, and it is not a big deal to be the lord and nobleman of the Hans Empire.

So Princess Gina understands that staying behind will be the spiritual pillar of these soldiers, supporting them to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Although the national and national consciousness in this era is not strong, it does not mean that there is none, another complementary emotion is chivalry, if it is not a last resort, no knight and nobleman is willing to directly give up resistance and surrender.

Marquis Patton naturally understands this truth, but once Princess Jina has an accident, he can't afford this responsibility. He is a person close to Henry VII, and he is very clear about the character of His Majesty the Emperor, this is definitely not an easy king to get along with, even if he doesn't say it on the surface, his life will not be easy in the future.

But once the Imperial Army of the Northern Army collapses, this responsibility is also not small, Marquis Patton thought about it, the Lion Army is only a few tens of kilometers away from him, plus the Lion Army has 20,000 cavalry, if you really want to march forcefully, you can kill it back in half a day, and the First Army of the Empire is also an elite, as long as the formation does not collapse, Marquis Patton really doesn't believe that it will be a fiasco in half a day.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, in that case, then I will lead the Guards to break out, and you must ensure your own safety. ”

"Don't worry, Marquis Patton, I will not only ensure my own safety, but also ensure the integrity of the Imperial Army, and the French Empire will win!"

"The Franco-Empire will win!"

After Marquis Patton said this, he directly put on his helmet, and the 10,000 imperial guards in the camp were already in full array, and the next thing to greet them would be a battle to the death, those who rushed out lived, and those who landed died!

Princess Gina looked at the knights of the Guards in front of her, their armor glistening in the sun, these people were about to face the onslaught of tens of thousands of troops, and the hope of the entire Imperial Army was in them.
