Hearing that Duke finally gave the order, Alan and Carl also felt a burst of joy and excitement, in fact, as a soldier, they are not afraid of war, and the most taboo is that the main general is afraid of the head and tail, which leads to the uncertainty of the death of the fighter.

Either fight or not, just give your fighters a definite message, so that they will have a goal, even if it will cost them their lives.

"My lord, let's go gather the Storm Army. ”

After Alan responded to Carl, the two of them left Duke's tent and began to gather troops.

The storm army in the camp has actually been waiting for a long time, and when Duke's orders are conveyed layer by layer, they also begin to get excited in their hearts, polish their long swords, put away their battle armor, and prepare for the war that will be brought soon.

When the whole army was assembled, Duke walked out of his camp, looked at the five thousand storm army soldiers who had been assembled, stood directly on a carriage, looked at them and said: "I don't know if you all understand the battle plan this time, but I still have to emphasize it to you again." ”

"In front of you, you will soon face more than ten times as many enemies, and they are still the elite Black Hawk Army of the Hans Empire. Some of you veterans have been through several encounters with Fishmen or Ice Demons. Even the war of the Holy See and the Spartan legions. ”

"But I still have to tell you that this time the army in front of us may be a more formidable enemy than ever. This strength does not mean that they are superior in numbers, but that they are not inferior to our Storm Army in terms of strength. So I just have to ask you if you still have the courage to fight an enemy ten times your size!"

Duke snarled at them, he didn't want to hide anything from his soldiers, this time it might be the most brutal battle the Storm Army had faced since it was formed, and the opponent would be an elite warrior of the formation.

"Storm Army, forward, forward, forward!"

All the Storm Troopers shouted their battle calls, and this was Duke's answer.

After hearing the slogan of the Storm Army, Duke didn't talk too much nonsense and directly gave the order to march. Now the Storm Army is about forty kilometers away from the battlefield in the Baya Basin in a straight line, and according to the standard of thirty kilometers a day for the world's top march, this time it will be added by ten kilometers.

But Duke knows that this is definitely not the limit of the Storm Army, because the human will is infinite and will do many miracles. As a person who has traveled back in time, Duke knows that in the wartime, there was an army full of faith and achieved the miracle of mankind that traveled 120 kilometers in one day and night.

He didn't expect the Storm Army to perform such a miracle, nor did he think that the Storm Army's current willpower and faith could reach the level of that army. But 40 kilometers, he believes, is definitely not the limit of the Storm Army, they can reach the battlefield of the Baya Basin in one day, and put themselves into battle!

Duke's side finally made up his mind to support, while the First Legion of the Empire on the other side was now in a state of despair.

The sky had begun to light slightly, and it had been nearly a day since the moment the Guards began to break through. In this day, the First Legion of the French Army withstood several rounds of attacks by the Black Hawk Army, causing huge casualties to the First Legion of the Empire, and nearly half of the soldiers were ineffective.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the soldiers of the Black Eagle Army have been calling the formation, saying that the Lion Army has been surrounded by 100,000 barbarian cavalry, and there are no reinforcements at all to take care of themselves, and the Guards Legion that broke out of the siege was either surrounded by the barbarian cavalry, or they fled, and the First Legion of the Empire should surrender as soon as possible, etc.

In the face of this kind of shouting and propaganda, the First Legion of the Empire basically chose to ignore it at the beginning, still maintaining a lot of confidence and a sense of battle, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. After all, the First Legion of the Empire is the elite legion of the French Empire, formerly known as the city defense army of the French Imperial Capital, and has always been stationed around the Imperial Capital, and has been under the direct command of the French Emperor Henry VII, so the loyalty is still very high.

But as time passed, the Guards Corps that broke through was like no news, and it disappeared without a trace. According to the previous budget, a distance of twenty kilometers is indeed a long distance for infantry, but for cavalry, it is only an hour or two away. Even if it is the time for the Lion Army cavalry to prepare to assemble with the horsepower and rest heel, half a day is enough.

As a result, nearly a day has passed, and there are still no reinforcements in sight, and the Black Hawk Army's defensive line has not been impacted. This kind of unreasonable thing almost confirmed the shouting of the Black Hawk Army from the side. Even if it wasn't for the lion army being surrounded by barbarian cavalry, there was definitely something wrong.

The lack of reinforcements for a long time, coupled with the fact that they themselves had suffered heavy casualties and began to be unable to support them, were all consuming the will to fight of the First Legion of France. Many soldiers, especially those who suffered casualties, made them tend to surrender to the Hans Empire, after all, they were not barbarians and had a good chance of saving their lives.

As long as the war is over and the French Empire pays the ransom for these people, they can safely return home to reunite with their relatives. This is a big difference between Eastern and Western civilizations for prisoners of war and surrender, the West believes that surrender is not a shameful thing, as long as you do your best, and generally the prisoners of war who are released will not be criticized much.

In Eastern thought, the kind of hero who would rather die than surrender can give up his life in order to pursue a higher spiritual realm or the will of the country.

Facing the fluctuation of people's hearts in the camp, Princess Ji Na began to feel a little anxious and uneasy in her heart. This is the second time she has led the army alone, but she did not expect to find herself in this situation again, Princess Gina sometimes wonders to herself, is this her bad luck, or is she really not suitable to lead troops into battle? It seems that her dream of becoming a female general like Joan of Arc may never come true.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the hearts of the soldiers of the First Army are very fluctuating now, and they are all worried that reinforcements will not come, and they may not be able to hold out for long. ”

Marquis Stilwell walked out of Princess Gina's tent at this time, and said to her with a solemn face. Now the First Legion has suffered heavy casualties, and this kind of posture that half of the casualties can still persist in fighting under heavy encirclement is already considered the top legion in the era of cold weapons, so Marquis Stilwell is not the slightest embarrassed to say such things, and he has even waited for Princess Gina to make a final decision.
