437 Duke taunts
Gina couldn't believe her eyes, because it seemed to her to be impossible. The reason is very simple, that is, the Storm Army is only 5,000 people, even if it is strong in combat effectiveness, how can it be possible to defeat the more than 50,000 people of the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire?
Just when Jina was stunned, a storm battle flag towered up, and when she saw this battle flag, the doubts in Jina's heart disappeared, only the Duke Storm Army would use the storm battle flag, and she was too familiar with this battle flag Ji Na, who had been in danger several times, and it was the appearance of this battle flag that saved her.
"Warriors, it's the Storm Army that has saved us!"
Princess Gina shouted excitedly, seriously speaking, the arrival of the Storm Army made her more happy than the arrival of Duke Otto's Lion Army, and she couldn't tell why.
On the other side, Duke, seeing the confrontation between the two armies, also roughly guessed that the First Legion of the Empire was unfamiliar with the Storm Army. In the current crisis situation, the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire could make a comeback at any time, because they still had more than 20,000 troops who were completely unaffected, and the number of 3,000 storm troops in front of them was too small.
What can be done now is to take advantage of this most critical period of chaotic time to directly bring out the First Legion of the Empire, as long as the breakthrough comes to the back of the car formation, Duke will have the confidence and certainty to bring the First Legion of the Empire out of the encirclement, because as far as the current situation is concerned, the Storm Musket is almost insoluble.
"Lift the guard, hurry up and let the First Legion of the Empire enter the car formation!"
Duke shouted at this time, he didn't have time to delay any longer, because he had already found that the rest of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Black Eagle Army were coming in three directions. Although the people of this world have not been able to discover the restraint of the straggler system on muskets so quickly, they can probably see from the previous shooting that the lethality of muskets is actually very limited, even if they rely on the number of people to pile up, they can pile up the storm army to death!
Hearing Duke's order, the Storm Army that rushed to the front also put away their battle shields, and the Storm Army on both flanks began to be on guard, opening a way for the First Army of the Empire.
After confirming that it was a friendly army, the faces of the soldiers of the First Legion of the Empire also showed an incomparable look of ecstasy, and they frantically rushed towards the direction of the Storm Army's vehicle formation. At this time, Princess Gina and Marquis Stilwell also came to the direction where Duke was.
Looking at the grizzled Princess Jina, Duke couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness, the heroic Viscount Duke has saved you again, and now you realize the strength of the Storm Army." ”
Duke said this for a reason, because with the arrival of the Northern Defense Line, the Storm Army of 5,000 people is not worth mentioning at all with the Imperial Northern Army with a total of more than 60,000 people, so many times even Jina subconsciously ignores the Storm Army in her mind.
Although there is no need to show off to Jina, but he has been ignored by the high-level leaders of Jina or the Fran Empire before, Duke also has an urge to prove himself, and now this opportunity is the time for Duke to pretend to be forced.
"The Storm Army is very heroic, but you, Viscount Duke, may not!"
Princess Gina replied not to be outdone, but from the excited expression on her face and the choked tone of her voice, she could also see her gratitude to Duke for coming to help.
In front of so many people, Duke couldn't say anything more to Princess Gina, and now that the situation was urgent, he could only reply and say, "Okay, you hurry up to the car formation, the Black Eagle Army will soon surround you." ”
Hearing Duke's words, Princess Gina nodded, but she quickly added to Duke: "Duke, there are still many wounded soldiers of the First Legion here, you should try to bring them out as much as possible, otherwise they will only die if they stay on this grassland." ”
Ji Na was still thinking about the wounded at this time, because after this battle, the 20,000 Imperial First Legion did not receive even 10,000, and the number of seriously wounded and dead accounted for five or six thousand, and there were about this number of lightly wounded. These people are only stab wounds on the skin, and even if the infection rate is high in this era, at least more than half of them will survive.
Because as long as the wound is not big, the teeth are disinfected with the most primitive fire wound, and the basic anti-infection can be achieved. These are the valiant warriors of the French Empire, who have not given up the fight in this difficult situation of being surrounded, and Gina wants to bring them back.
To be honest, Duke only wanted to take away the uninjured and walkable First Army of the Empire, and these wounded soldiers were no longer in Duke's consideration. Duke is not cruel, but in a situation that may endanger himself or the Storm Army, Duke has to be cruel to these Fran troops who have nothing to do with him.
But looking at Princess Jina's pleading eyes and the despair in the eyes of those wounded soldiers, Duke felt that he still hadn't reached the kind of realm where one would succeed and ten thousand bones withered, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "I will try my best to go back with the wounded soldiers!"
"Well, I believe you!"
Princess Gina nodded to Duke, and then continued her way towards the rear, escorted by the royal knights.
As Princess Gina walked over, Duke saw Marquis Stilwell. There wasn't much contact with Marquis Stilwell, and even when Duke was in the Imperial Army camp, he basically only dealt with Princess Gina and Marquis Barton. But Duke had always been able to feel the contempt that Marquis Stilwell had for him and the Storm Army, a kind of overlook for weakness.
For this point, in fact, Duke has always been unhappy in his heart, but Marquis Stilwell is not the only one who has this emotion, and the entire imperial army basically does not take Duke, a private lord's army, in his eyes. However, as one of the executors of Emperor Fran's secret order, this Qiu Duke is really a little unable to let go, even if he can't do anything to Marquis Stilwell now, it's still no problem to say a few sarcastic words.
"Marquis Stilwell, you've changed a lot these days. ”
Duke had a hint of mockery on his face, and even his tone was much more frivolous, this kind of expression and mocking attitude made Marquis Stilwell's face very ugly, and even the guards around him looked at Duke with anger on their faces, if it weren't for the storm army next to them, it is estimated that they couldn't help but take down Duke's appearance.
"Viscount Duke, it's a good thing to be young, but don't be too rash. ”
Marquis Stilwell replied coldly, as a marquis nobleman, even if he accepted Duke's rescue, but he couldn't accept the insult, and the thinking that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated is common all over the world.
