Chapter 470: Sparta

Since a large amount of grain and grass was urgently transported all the way to the Tang army camp, Gao Xianzhi was relieved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWhen they set out from Pritz City, the soldiers were only given three days' rations, which was only enough to get from Pritz City to the banks of the Main River, and they would run out of food a little later. Now, after having a large amount of food and grass, you can calmly fight against those two knights.

On the night of rushing to the banks of the Main River, Gao Xianzhi did not attack in a hurry, but ordered to camp on the spot and bury the pot to cook, and after having food, the soldiers finally let go of their bellies and ate a full meal, and their morale was also high.

In the camp of the Knights of Light opposite, Cardinal Owen, Archbishop Owen, Captain Ian, and Deputy Head Henry gathered to discuss tomorrow's battle arrangements.

After the defeat from Pritz, the knights of the Knights of the Holy Judgment were no longer so arrogant, and not only did they lose most of their knights' squires in that battle, but most importantly, they were dealt a great psychological blow to them, and even many knights were secretly doubting whether they could really defeat this elite enemy army.

"Under Owen, the enemy army is already encamped near the camp, and it seems that this battle is inevitable. Captain Ian paused slightly, reorganized his words, and asked cautiously, "That enemy army is really that powerful, and even the Knights of the Holy Judgment can't please it?"

Cardinal Owen glanced at Henry, the deputy head of the Knights of the Holy Judgment, and said, "I don't understand the specific military affairs, so let Henry explain." ā€

Deputy Commander Henry looked at Commander Ian with a little embarrassment, he was really a little embarrassed, but the enemy army was already close in front of him, and he couldn't care about face at this time.

"This enemy army is a mixed army, and the configuration of the arms is very comprehensive. From the dragomen who fought against the cavalry charge, to the heavy armor warriors, light armor soldiers, archers, crossbowmen, and light and heavy cavalry. On the way to charge, the knights were first fired with crossbows, then covered with bows and arrows, and when they approached the enemy's position, they were attacked with a dragon lance with a wide blade, and when the knights' horse speed was slowed down, the heavily armored warriors gathered in groups of three or five to separate the knights, and then the light warriors fought in close quarters, while their cavalry roamed around the perimeter to deal with the knights' squires. The whole battle formation was very well coordinated, and it didn't feel like a war, but a delicate art of war. ā€

At the mention of that unforgettable defeat, Deputy Commander Henry recounted with guilt on his face, and it was not difficult to hear from his words that although he was defeated, he admired the enemy's command and coordination of the army.

"Deputy Chief Henry, it's not that I'm disrespectful, but I really can't figure out some things, why would the Knights of the Divine Judgment forcibly attack the walls of Pritz?

Captain Ian's questioning made Henry feel that it would be nice if there was a crack in the ground that could be drilled into, such a tactical mistake was too unbelievable. But fortunately, Cardinal Owen immediately picked up the words: "You can't blame Henry for this, it's all done by that idiot Larry Harold, this idiot just wants to fight for success, and he rashly launched an attack regardless of the situation on the scene, which resulted in a large number of casualties among the knights' squires, and was defeated by that legion, if not, how could the Knights of the Holy Judgment be defeated in a group of legions of unknown origin." I have ordered that Larry Harold be taken into custody and convicted when he returns to the Holy City. ā€

Hearing the explanations of the two, Captain Ian had some understanding of the enemy army, but he didn't expect that the culprit of all this was Cardinal Owen, who had always been kind-hearted.

"Since the enemy army is a mixed army with a balanced offensive and defensive balance, then tomorrow we will use the Knights of Light as the main force, and fight head-to-head with the army formation, and the Divine Judgment Knights are responsible for containing the enemy's cavalry, and at the same time pay attention to the battle situation on the frontal battlefield, once the enemy army shows flaws, we must attack in time. I believe that under the protection of the God of Light, it is impossible for the Knights of Light with divine skills to lose to those enemy forces!"

Hearing that Captain Ian had handed over the frontal battlefield to the Knights of Light, Henry hurriedly agreed. He has learned the power of the Tang Army formation, and he will never go to the front again.

While the two armies were preparing for tomorrow's battle, in the distant city of Panon, Leo was preparing to summon a new legion. Thanks to the successive battles with the Knights of the Holy Judgment, Leo's Divine Pleasure has pushed to the 10,000-point mark, and Leo, who has just received sufficient food and grass replenishment, naturally will not waste this opportunity to expand his strength.

The summoning wheel in the Arena of the Gods was spinning rapidly, but Leo didn't have the excitement he had before, and he just silently prayed in his heart that it must be a powerful main battle legion.

When the roulette wheel stopped, a large shield and spear pattern appeared, and Leo's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the extremely familiar pattern of the large shield in front of him. It was a classic Spartan-style round shield, and with that spear, it was clear that the legion summoned this time was ......

Sure enough, prompts from the Arena of the Gods followed: the legion summoned by the host this time was the Spartan Legion.

From the wilderness chosen by Leo there was the sound of loud and neat metal boot steps, and groups of Spartan hoplites marched out of the darkness. A burly man with a high crown strode forward, came to Leo, got down on one knee and bowed his head, and said, "Leonidas, king of Sparta, will do your will, become the sharpest spear in your hand, and destroy all enemies for you!"

Looking at the burly and bearded Leonidas in front of him, Leo couldn't contain a burst of excitement in his heart. This is the Spartan legion with the highest individual combat strength, and this is the brave Spartan king Leonidas.

As a natural fighting people, the Spartans can be said to be a legend in the history of ancient warfare, and every Spartan was born an excellent warrior, and they possessed a tenacious sense of combat and strict discipline. It can be said that if the Spartan Legion is equal in numbers, it can completely destroy any legion in the world.

Each Spartan soldier was an all-round hoplite, physically built to withstand heavy armor, skilled in the use of spears, short swords, and round shields, with few obvious weaknesses other than their numerical limitations.
