106 Defeat the enemy
"Brothers, carry it for me, the Storm Legion advances!"
"Spartan warriors, you are born warriors!"
Different shouts rang out one after another, and the contact between the Storm Legion and the Spartan Legion was like a meat grinder, and people kept falling.
I have to say that the Spartan legion really lived up to its reputation, they were just wearing cuirass, relying on shields and spears, coupled with their bravery, they withstood the forward pressure of the Storm Castle hoplites, which made the situation anxious.
But the soldiers of the Storm Legion also showed extraordinary combat effectiveness and discipline, and no one chose to retreat weakly, the first row fell, and the second row made up for it as soon as possible. Even many of the Storm Warriors, Duke saw their armor pierced by spears, but they didn't stop their pace, and kept rushing forward.
One step, two steps! Although each step was difficult, Duke could occasionally feel the Spartan army's defenses retreating backwards. No matter how brave they were, they still faced a huge disadvantage in armor against the Storm Legion, which was armed to the teeth.
The Spartan Legion once wore only cuirasses and red shawls, a symbol of bravery in this world, but Duke will show them that technology has changed the situation of warfare, and that bravery is no longer a decisive factor on the battlefield, or that simple manpower will not be a decisive factor in the future.
The Storm Legion advanced on this side, and the two thousand Spartan warriors who blocked the Silver Moon Army on the other side also faced a huge impact. The current Silver Moon Army is like a dying person, seeing a life-saving straw, and the appearance of the Storm Legion has given them a glimmer of life.
So the will to survive allowed them to burst out to their full potential, and they charged in the direction of the Storm Legion without fear of casualties. As long as the two armies could converge, then the siege of Sparta was broken.
Baker also took the lead at this time, his eyes have always been on Duke in the distance, although the Storm Legion is a reinforcement to save him, but Baker is unwilling to let this brother who is ignored by himself to save him, he feels that this is a debasement of himself! Maybe even if this is the situation, he still looks down on Duke in his heart.
What was supposed to be the perfect encirclement of the Spartan army has now become a pie between two sides. The huge casualties made the Spartan leader's face more and more ugly, and he began to consider retreating.
Because judging from the current situation, the casualties of the Spartan army of 5,000 people are close to 3,000, which is a rare huge casualty in the entire history of Sparta. Because the warriors of Sparta were cultivated from an early age, and if one died, one would be less. And the scope of the entire Spartan city-state is not very large, and it is very difficult to replenish the source of troops, although the Spartan army has obtained several times the results of its own, but this kind of casualties is still unacceptable for the Spartan army.
And even if the two armies in front of them are completely annihilated, then the remaining Spartan warriors will not have enough strength to conquer the interior of the French Empire, and more importantly, there are still nearly 10,000 troops in the Andal royal city.
Princess Jina knows her brother's character and will choose to die rather than save her. But the leader of Sparta did not dare to bet that Andorra City would not move, this kind of gamble that the slightest carelessness would destroy the whole army, and as a leader he could not afford to gamble.
"Compress the line of defense, retreat!"
The Spartan leader finally gave this order, and the risk of going deep alone was too great, and the entire Spartan army had reached its limit. If you don't shrink the defensive line, as long as any reinforcements from the French Empire appear, you can't withdraw if you want to.
Duke, who was riding on a war horse, was secretly relieved when he saw that the Spartan army began to shrink its defensive line and prepare to retreat.
Originally, Duke led the Storm Legion to prepare to receive the displaced people on the border, but he never expected to encounter the battle between the Spartan Army and the Silver Moon Army. The remnants of consciousness made him want to prove himself, especially in front of his big brother.
In addition, Duke also wanted to see what the real strength of the first regiment of the Storm Army was equipped with new armors and trained by the professional army, so he finally chose to attack.
It stands to reason that his new force suddenly attacked the Spartan army, which had been fighting for a long time, and should have a great advantage in formation and physical strength. As a result, I didn't expect the Spartan Legion to be stronger than I imagined, and at the same time it could quickly change formations and divide a group of soldiers to resist the Storm Legion, and this kind of discipline has almost reached the level of the gun line in World War I.
And judging from the current battle loss ratio, the Storm Legion and the Spartan Army are close to a one-to-one state, and the Storm Army of more than 300 people has lost its combat effectiveness. This is still the situation that the Storm Legion occupies the right time and place, and if the Spartan army does not retreat, Duke will have to consider whether to retreat.
The premise of proving yourself is that you have strength, and if your strength is exhausted, it will be a swollen face and a fat man. As for the Storm Army of more than 2,000 people, Duke is reluctant to lose half of it in such a battle, and it is also the first elite regiment!
The Spartan Legion's compressed defensive line retreated, and in the face of the orderly and neat formation of the retreat, neither the Storm Army nor the Silver Moon Army chose to pursue, because neither side had this strength now.
"Alan, gather the wounded for emergency treatment, and find a way to quickly send the seriously injured to Storm Castle by horse-drawn cart. ”
"Yes, my lord. ”
After saying this, Duke turned his head to Cassel and said coldly to him, "Cassel, give me the Storm Battle Banner to stand upright, I'm going to see my big brother properly!"
In Duke's memories before, although it was a straw bale, the straw bale also had its own dignity. It can be said that Duke's life is to live in the shadow of his eldest brother, everything will be compared with his genius eldest brother, the more than Duke is, the more wasteful, and in the end he simply indulged himself and became a gentleman.
Today, Duke unexpectedly saved the Silver Moon Army, so that he could finally stand on the same height and look at his genius big brother. Even if the reborn Duke did not have this kind of life experience, he still had an irrepressible excitement in his heart.
With the Storm Banner in his hand and the most elite group of Storm Knights, Cassel rode his horse behind Duke and slowly walked towards the Silvermoon Army.
Facing the same lion-headed banner and the other party's shinier full-body armor, all the soldiers of the Silver Moon Army had an indescribable sense of weirdness. This scene should have happened to the Silver Moon Army, but now it was someone else's turn to save him.
As he got closer, Duke suddenly saw the presence of royal knights in the Silvermoon military array, and Princess Gina was watching him from afar. Faced with this scene, Duke was extremely surprised, why is Princess Gina here?
