422 Guards Breakout
The 10,000 Imperial Guards, led by the Marquis of Patton, broke out in the direction of the Lion Army with a momentum that did not hesitate. [with _ dream]ā
At the same time, in order to cover the breakthrough of the Imperial Guard, Princess Jina also summoned the First Army of the Empire and launched an attack on the Black Eagle Army to prevent the Guards from falling into a heavy siege.
On the periphery of the Baya Basin, tens of thousands of troops fought together, but unlike the bloody battle imagined by Princess Jina before, the difficulty of the Guards Legion breaking through was not as great as imagined.
On the contrary, the remaining Imperial First Army suffered a frantic attack by more than 40,000 Black Hawk troops, and the casualties reached 5,000 in the first battle. In the early summer of the grassland, once there is a big wound on the body, infection is almost inevitable, and if there is no good wound treatment for a few days, these wounded may not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
After the First World War, seeing that most of the Guards had broken through, the First Imperial Legion also withdrew, maintained its previous defensive stance, and began to deal with its own wounded.
Listening to the painful moans in her ears from time to time, the expression on Princess Guina's face was very ugly, this was the same feeling as when she was outside Andorra, the casualties were also very heavy, it was just a breakthrough, and nearly a quarter of the troops were lost. The only difference is that at the beginning there was a group of ragtag troops who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but this time it was in the encirclement, and they dared to take the initiative to attack!
"Princess Jina, the situation is a little wrong now, their initiative direction is actually our First Legion, not the Breakout Guards Legion, which is not reasonable. ”
The Marquis of Stilwell came to Princess Guina's side and said to him, as a veteran of more than twenty years in the army, this situation was really strange. You must know that their Black Eagle Army is only 60,000 people, if they let go of the Guards Legion, once the Lion Army comes to reinforce it, then in terms of numbers, there is actually no disadvantage in the number of the French ** Regiment, and it is still in an advantageous position of attacking from both sides.
In this way, all the tactical encirclement of the Black Hawk Army will be ineffective, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Lion Army is seriously more than that of the Black Hawk Army, so they are not worried at all?
Princess Jina naturally saw this situation, and she was a little curious before, but the lack of information about the current situation of the Lion Army made Princess Jina not know the specific situation, so she thought about it and could only reply: "Are they planning to take advantage of the arrival of the Lion Army to try to hit as much as possible the living force of the emperor?"
Princess Jina's casual guess was actually a correct guess of the idea of the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire, they just wanted to take advantage of the initiative of the First Legion of the Empire to give them a lot of damage to attack the living force of the French Emperor's ** team. It's just that Gina guessed one thing wrong, that is, they are not worried that the Lion Army will come to support, but want to destroy the First Army as soon as possible, and then attack the border area of the Principality of Berry.
Once the First Army was wiped out, the entire northern defense line of the French Empire was just a few miscellaneous armies and local lord armies, just like the logistics army that Duke placed in the Alakou Fortress, and there was no way to compare the elite level with the First Army.
And the guards who broke out, they are knights themselves, and they can give full play to their greatest advantages and strength on the war horses, and if they really want to be in the position of defending the city, they may not be as good as some ordinary city guards, which is the difference between specialization in the art industry.
That's why the Black Hawk Army didn't worry about the guards who ran out, and they couldn't turn over much of the wind and waves with the remaining 8,000 cavalry. At the same time, the Hans Empire was not without malice, if the Guards Legion came to the Lion Army garrison and saw the Lion Army surrounded by barbarians, would it directly fight.
This is also what the Hans Empire is looking forward to, and it is best for the Guards to unite with the Lion Army to fight with the barbarians in order to rescue Princess Jina. Because for the Hans Empire, the barbarians are also their own enemies, although they are in a state of cooperation now, but once the Fran Empire collapses, it will be time for the two of them to do it, and it is not bad to let the guards rush over and consume the barbarians, it is better than taking the lives and blood of their own people to consume here.
Marquis Stilwell thought about Princess Gina's words, which was indeed very reasonable, but he always had a hunch in his heart that the reason for the Hans Empire to do this was not very sufficient.
Even if there are only more than 10,000 First Army Corps left to face more than 50,000 Black Eagle Army, it is impossible for them to defeat the well-defended First Army in just half a day or a day, as long as there are no major mistakes and accidents, the First Army can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements.
After all, war is not the same as a game, one-to-one rapid attrition, and it is impossible for attacking soldiers to swarm at once. Five people fight one, and 50,000 people fight 10,000 is completely different, one fight five is basically 90% of the chance of being beaten, but 10,000 to 50,000, in the era of cold weapons, there may be a situation of counter-killing, and many times the probability of counter-killing is not low.
Just when Princess Gina and Marquis Stilwell were puzzled, the attack of the Black Eagle Army happened again. This time the attack was more ferocious than ever, so it was completely pointless to figure out the intentions behind the Black Hawks, and it was the only hope to hold on and survive.
As night fell, the camp of the Storm Army was silent, and it could even be said that it was dark, because after receiving the information that the Imperial Northern Army had been attacked, Duke directly entered the wartime system, and all lighting and fireworks in the entire camp were disabled to prevent anyone from probing the location of the camp.
After all, now that the Lion Army and the Emperor ** have been attacked, Duke is worried that his Storm Army will also be attacked, after all, the feast has been eaten, and the Storm Army's condiment is not bad. For the barbarians and the Hans Empire, the Storm Army is also its own enemy.
"Lord Lord, according to the report of the Storm Sentinel Rider who followed, the central army of the Hans Empire is in a state of forced march, and there should be three days left before it can rush to the battlefield, and the Emperor of France should be in danger by then. ”
Hearing Allen's message, the expression on Duke's face became more and more ugly, and he was thinking about whether to rescue Flandres ** or not to save him.
If it was just emotion, Duke would not hesitate to send troops to the Black Hawk camp to rescue Princess Gina. It's not the relationship between men and women, it's that Duke came to this world, and Princess Gina is the only friend he can talk to on an equal footing, otherwise he will be very lonely in this world, and he will always have to live with the mask of the superior leader.
