Chapter 489: Division of Troops
The sword in his hand kept swinging, and Leo didn't know how many Paris soldiers he had killed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWithout Feng Xifan by his side, Leo could finally show his skills as much as he wanted, and for the summoner he had just met, the eyes of the Spartan king Leonidas couldn't help but show appreciation. A commander must not only strategize, but more importantly, he must have the courage to go into battle and kill the enemy first.
What the Spartans admire most is to be able to fight and kill a good man who is not afraid of life and death, if Leo's blood is in the eyes of Sidney and Feng Xifan, he will definitely be scolded for being bloody, but in the eyes of Leonidas and the Spartan warriors, this is really a commander worth following.
Don't look at Leo only has a long sword on his body, and no other protective gear, but the two Spartan warriors on his left and right use the shields in their hands to constantly wave and block the occasional flying arrows, trying to protect him as well as possible, and also allowing Leo to use his swordsmanship wholeheartedly.
Like a tiger descending from a mountain, the Spartan hoplites tore the Legion of Courage into countless pieces with their shields and heavy armor, and then slaughtered the Parris soldiers with their own martial arts.
In the Tang army array in the distance, Gao Xianzhi did not fall into the prestige of the Tang Dynasty's strong army. After seeing the Spartan heavy army attacking from behind the enemy, Gao Xianzhi resolutely divided his army into three parts, and the foot soldiers under Gao Xianzhi's command killed a Paris garrison on the east side of the camp in a neat array; the heavy cavalry went straight to the west garrison regiment with murderous vigor under the command of Feng Changqing, the captain of the Tun cavalry; and the light cavalry bypassed the blazing barracks under the command of the captain of the Yue cavalry, and went straight to the two legions of wisdom and faith.
Although the garrison of the imperial capital of the Paris Empire ranks first among all armies in terms of equipment, and the training of the soldiers is also extremely diligent, there is only one thing that prevents them from becoming a strong army. The soldiers of these garrisons have never experienced a war, whether it is when the empire first conquered the city and conquered the surrounding countries, or when the orcs invaded the coalition and resisted, the garrison troops as the arch defending the imperial capital could not participate in the battle, which made them just a group of theoretical elite soldiers.
In fact, in the face of the strict military formation of the Tang Dynasty, when the evil aura that rose to the sky, the soldiers of the garrison legion turned pale one by one, if it weren't for the fact that this is the land of Paris, if it weren't for the strict orders of His Majesty the Emperor and the unkind eyes of the military judges behind them, I am afraid that a large number of deserters would really abandon their weapons and flee. Even so, there were many thoughtful soldiers looking left and right, secretly thinking about how to escape if the battle situation was unfavorable.
The commander of the garrison was bitter in his heart, and the Pritz regiment on the opposite side knew only from their one-man pace and the oncoming evil spirit that this must be a hundred battle elite soldiers, and the number of garrison soldiers under his own command, this corps commander knew in his heart. It is still easy to bully and bully the people of the imperial capital, and it is still easy to suppress the lawbreakers, but it is not enough to talk about the confrontation between the two armies. To be honest, it was already very good that the soldiers at the front of the camp could hold on and run without wavering and without turning their heads, and the legion commander couldn't help but glance at them.
But where can the commander of the army in the rear army feel the murderous aura in front of the two armies, to say that the soldiers in the front of the garrison can hold their positions and maintain the formation, it is better to say that the iron-blooded murderous aura of the Tang army formation has already frightened them and they can't move, the muscles of the whole body are stiff, their eyes are empty, and there is only a blank in their minds.
"Cavalry battalion, cavalry battalion, kill the enemy's position!" the corps commander suddenly came to his senses, drew his command knife and shouted loudly, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the cavalry battalion on his side. Storming the enemy in front of such an enemy, those cavalry will do it because their brains are broken.
The commander of the legion, who had been shouting for a long time, couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw that the cavalry battalion was indifferent and stayed in place, although he knew that after his order was given, the cavalry battalion would probably be dead, but even if he sacrificed the entire cavalry battalion, he would at least shake the enemy's military formation, and let all the legionnaires know that the enemy was not so terrible. This is also the commander of the garrison corps when he saw that the enemy's cavalry had already divided his forces to attack other legions, so he dared to let the cavalry battalion attack.
"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, this ...... I'm afraid that no matter how large the number of cavalry battalions is, it won't make a difference! Isn't that a way for the cavalry to die in vain?" the knight commander of the cavalry battalion explained to the regiment commander with a reluctant expression.
With a snap, the Legion Commander's sudden slap made the Knight Captain cover his face in shock.
"You...... You!I...... I am a knight canonized by His Majesty the Emperor himself, a baron of the first rank of the Empire, you dare to humiliate me like this!" The knight commander was slapped by the commander of the legion in front of everyone, and this humiliation made him almost crazy, but in the army, especially when the two armies were facing each other, he did not dare to rebel.
"I don't care what your identity is, I just want to tell you that according to the imperial military regulations, I have the right to execute those who do not obey military orders in wartime! If you lose the battle due to your cowardice, don't say any knights or barons, even if your family is prominent, it will be uprooted by the military department!" the legion commander said sternly.
These words finally reminded the cavalry of the cavalry battalion of the strictness of Paris's military regulations, in order not to harm their family members, they had no choice but to cross the battle under the leadership of the knight commander, and launched a decisive charge towards the Tang army formation.
"Hmph! It's this trick again, these alien barbarians simply don't know the art of war at all, and in battle, they will only attack the cavalry and advance the infantry, without the slightest novelty!" After Gao Xianzhi saw the movement of the cavalry in the enemy formation, he smiled contemptuously on his face, and then ordered: "Order! The shooting battalion shoots in the band, the Modao battalion rushes forward, and the infantry battalion prepares with spearmen! Each battalion must keep the enemy cavalry out of the military formation!"
With the change of the drumbeat, the big men of the Modao battalion quickly walked forward in front of the military formation, and wave after wave of crossbow arrows splashed on the cavalry battalion of the Paris garrison like a drizzle, and the crossbow arrows nailed a famous cavalry like a string of sugar gourds, and even if the bows and arrows that fell one after another could not penetrate the well-equipped cavalry armor, their war horses kept falling to the ground in the rain of arrows, and for a while, the entire cavalry battalion seemed to have been suddenly bitten into a big bite, and a large section was missing.
