431 Reinforcements arrive

Princess Jina's cry was injected into the hearts of the soldiers of the First Legion of the Empire like a stimulant, and in the desperate situation of being surrounded by a breakthrough, she was able to persist in fighting for a day and a night, and the casualty rate exceeded 50%, which proved that the First Legion of the Empire was definitely not a group of cowards.

Many of their brothers, friends, and robes fell on the battlefield, and it was certainly impossible to say that they surrendered willingly. It's just that there is no hope of breaking through, and under the instinct of survival, the only option they can make is to surrender.

But now it's different, the Empire's reinforcements have arrived, and it's the most elite lion army. Duke Otto is the idol in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, and he is also the military god of the empire, as long as Duke Otto leads reinforcements, then he will definitely be able to defeat these Hans Empire Black Eagle Army.

The two armies have been facing each other for more than a year, and as the ace army of the Empire, they are naturally unwilling to admit that they are weak, and they have an aura to prove their bravery.

"Brothers, take up your arms and let the Black Hawk Army see how powerful we are!"

"Cowards surrender, courage is the symbol of the First Legion!"

"For the royal family, for Her Royal Highness!"

"For the Franco-Empire!"

All kinds of slogans sounded, and the camp that had been lifeless before came to life in an instant. All the soldiers took up their weapons, even some of the previous officer guards, because everyone knew that this might be their last chance.

"Charge, for the sake of the Fran Empire!"

Princess Gina also shouted loudly, and then charged towards the Black Hawk Army of the Hans Empire, escorted by the royal knights. In fact, in her heart, she had the same idea as the royal knights, preferring to die heroically rather than be humiliated and become a captive. Even if she is a princess of a country, she is basically destined to pay a ransom to exchange herself back.

The only remaining soldiers of the First Legion of the Empire felt an irrepressible fighting spirit when they saw that even Princess Jina was charging ahead. Especially in this desperate situation, they burst out with all their combat strength, like a sharp knife, directly stabbing into the camp of the Black Eagle Army of the French Empire.

Negative scenes such as blood, severed limbs, screams, and death came flooding in, but everyone only knew about the mechanical charge forward, and there was no other emotion, not to mention any fear, and even some people would be scratched, and even the most basic pain felt a lot lower.

As long as the lightly wounded who could move, they all rushed towards the periphery with the main force desperately, everyone knew that this was their only hope, as long as they rushed out, they could survive, and they could go home to see their parents, wives and children!

The First Army of the French Empire is desperate, and the Storm Army on the other side is also desperate.

The sudden appearance of the Storm Army led by Duke actually shocked the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire even more than the barbarians were surprised when they saw the Guards. But the fear of the Black Hawks is far less obvious than that of the Guards.

Because the Black Eagle Army knows the strength of the Storm Army, there are only 5,000 people, including 2,000 logistics troops, and the real soldiers are only 3,000 people. However, these outdated data were all obtained from the Marquis of Patton, and the real Storm Army in the northern defense line was 6,000 people, because after the third batch of logistics troops traded with the barbarians, they did not return to Storm Castle, but stayed as reinforcements.

What's more important is that the soldiers here are seriously 4,000 people, after all, the 1,000 musketeers who came back to reinforce behind may not be as good as the logistics army in terms of physical fitness and combat skills training, but they are receiving strict shooting training and are real combat soldiers, so now the total number of the right wing storm army is 4,000 soldiers plus 1,000 logistics troops.

However, this number is not even a tenth of the size of the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire, even if they have experienced several bloody battles with the Guards Legion or the First Legion of the Empire, they still have more than 50,000 soldiers on the battlefield, and this number will be added to 40,000 in two days.

Therefore, the Black Eagle Army was more of a surprise at the arrival of the Storm Army, but after relieving themselves, they had already divided a team of 10,000 people to deal with Storm Castle, and in the eyes of Duke Blair, the commander of the Black Eagle Army, 10,000 people to deal with Duke, the small lord's ragtag army, was already very face-saving.

Seeing this army of 10,000 people coming, the expression on Duke's face was very cold, if it was the previous storm army, 10,000 people would really be enough. Not to mention being able to defeat the Storm Army, even if it is to wait for the Storm Army to defeat them, it is estimated that the First Legion of the Empire inside will be cold.

The lack of cavalry strength, the lack of long-range attack methods, and the lack of mages in the storm army do have a big shortcoming in terms of sudden attack explosiveness, and it is indeed very difficult to defeat the enemy at once.

But with the arrival of the Storm Convoy, and especially with the arrival of the Storm Musketeers, a battle that will change the style of operations on Europa is about to begin, and Duke will show them what the modern way of warfare is.

There are not many cavalry on the Black Eagle Army's side, only 10,000 people, because they are mainly ambushing and encirclement this time, and the cavalry is not very meaningful. The main force of 20,000 cavalry is placed on reinforcements, and the real purpose of the reinforcements is not to deal with the French Imperial Army, but to let this new force quickly assault the battlefield of the Lion Army after the end of this battle, and give the barbarians and the Lion Army a big sweep.

So this time, the people standing in front of Duke were all infantry from the Black Hawk Army. Like the infantry equipment common on the mainland, these infantry only wore iron armor, not plate armor that was forged in one go. Not every territory and empire is as rich as Duke and can equip the whole army with plate armor, even if it is the lion army, the number of people who are actually equipped with plate armor is only more than half, and even fewer are equipped with full-body plate armor.

Although the protection ability of this armor is not as strong as the full-body plate armor, it is better because of its low cost and light weight, and it is also a good equipment. And in front of these Black Eagle Army, there are also a whole row of shields, and a spear of more than three meters stretches out from the gap between the shields, which is also a medieval standard phalanx, and the biggest enemy of this phalanx is to throw guns and cavalry, unfortunately, Duke's storm army does not have these two things.

When Duke saw this scene, he immediately ordered the Storm Carriage to approach in the direction of the Black Hawk Army. The generals of the Black Hawk Army were very curious about Duke's move, could it be that Duke planned to use the carriage to charge into battle?
