Chapter 20 The Remnant Sun Is Like Blood (II)

"Colonel Yadan and his men fought until the last moment, when the enemy first used the civilian army to charge continuously, then replaced with knightly troops, and then sent Hertzians, but none of them could break through the gates defended by the 45th Regiment, and finally after the continuous fire of the enemy archers, the entire unit involved in the defense of the gates was completely silent...... "Kreitt brought back the report. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Thank you for your efforts, Lieutenant Kreyit." China said.

"No, I can't do anything." Kreitt said a little frustrated. When they saw the whole process of Yadan's sacrifice in the distance, Kreit's soldiers tried to rush forward to fight alongside their comrades at the city gate, but Kreit stopped them. Kreyit's mood is certainly the same as theirs, but he has more important responsibilities on his shoulders. He was even a little self-loathing at first, but in the end he convinced himself that he should keep these heroes in mind and not let their deeds be lost in the dust of history. So I have to live, to live to tell other people, to tell my children and grandchildren, that there were once such heroic people who fought unyieldingly to defend this country, this people.

"Gentlemen, take heart, the battle is not over." "We're going to hold out until the evening so we have a chance to break through." ”

"If we can use the inhabitants to camouflage, we can snipe the enemy more effectively." Fersen suggested.

"That's true, but are people willing to take such a big risk? We don't have the right to ask them to do that. "What's more, if they don't really help us, there is no point in doing so." ”

"Lord Lanfangt!" A herald ran in.

"What's the matter?"

"The residents have elected an elder to meet you."

"Invite him in."

Later, under the guidance of the herald, an elderly man was brought into Chenna's temporary command post.

"You're the commander?" The elder looked at the woman in front of him in amazement, who was about the same age as his granddaughter.

"I'm Gina Lanfonte, the current Supreme Commander here." China responded.

"So you're Lord Shappel's daughter, disrespectful, disrespectful."

"What is the matter with the elders coming to me?"

"Let us help you drive those Iberians out of our city." The elder straightened his face and said, "We're more familiar with the city, and it's easier for us to let them let their guard down. ”

"Why? Everyone should be able to save their lives by hiding at home honestly, right? Kreyit asked.

"Shame on you, the city's resurgence is due to the heroic battles fought against the thieves by Lord Leus and his men, and we have not been able to help you these days. And now that Hasus has brought punishment upon us cowards, the Iberians enter the city and begin to plunder, dragging them out and killing them, even if they hide in their homes. So we can't just sit back and wait. The elder bowed his head and said.

The commanders looked at each other, and then China spoke: "We are glad that you were able to bring this up, but I need to make it clear to you that our army has already suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy is numerous, and even with your help, we have little chance of driving the other side out of the city......"

"We Pharansis should not be intimidated by the fact that we were not intimidated by the fact that we were the Layton the Great in the past when they rebelled against the tyranny of Nacybis, and that the situation was even worse than it is now!"

"In that case, then this plan is not needed!" As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of parchment from the table and threw it into the brazier beside her.

"My lord, that's a plan to break out!" One of the staff members exclaimed.

"The Thirteenth Legion will live and die today with the inhabitants of Langcados and Langcados!" Cenna said solemnly, and then she looked at Ferson.

"The Third Legion has always lived and died with the whole of Alc, including Langcados, of course." Faison immediately answered.

"Now that we have a consensus, let's move on to how to fight."

While the Pharisees were more united, the King of Iberia was torn apart by the infighting of his lawless lords.

"What a group of insatiable rats, when the enemy army still controls half of the city, they can't wait to start looting, and what is even more surprising is that they have actually started infighting for this!" Overwhelm III was furious at such a report.

"Your Majesty, they should be stopped in time, and according to reliable information, reinforcements from the Pharians are on their way." General Garcia said on the side.

"Alright, well," Ofriet sat back in his chair, "for mere dissuasion, they wild dogs will not listen, and I will give me the order to go down, and whoever can take the northern gate first before dark, I will allow him to monopolize Lancados for three days." If anyone attacks an ally again during this time, I'll ask the Royal Knights to give him some color! Okay, just tell them that. ”

By the time the Iberian Army was reorganized, the remnants of Farensi were well prepared. This plunged the Iberians into a bitter battle again. Not only are the barricades in the open place hindering their advance, but there are also murderous motives hidden everywhere in the streets.

During this time, Fersen drew up a battle plan for Chenna, and since the local residents were also involved in the battle, it was only natural that they should be used to the fullest. The army only has a rough plan of the city, but residents will tell you that it is easy to cross a few alleys by climbing the window of someone's house. In this way, the movement and warfare to which the Third Army Corps was accustomed moved from the mountains and forests to the cities. Accordingly, Chenna redivided the barricade guards that had been originally arranged, thus achieving the goal of combining the virtual with the real.

For the first hour of the afternoon, the Iberians seemed to have entered a circle of ecstasy carefully set up by the other side. When they cautiously approached a target structure, they found that there was a loud "empty city plan" inside; And when they casually pass by a house or an alley, they are ambushed by each other. It was clear that the area where the first group of men and horses passed safely, but after a few minutes, it was like the latter group of people opening fire violently. The enemy had just attacked their allies two blocks away, and in a short time they ran behind them and attacked. Trespassing into a building is bound to be a step forward, but staying outside cautiously does not guarantee safety.

Faced with such a situation, General García made his proposal, and subsequently the Iberians changed tactics. First, they concentrated large forces on covering catapults, and cleared barricades and suspicious structures at designated points. Second, let every five knights and fifty militiamen form small detachments, and then conduct a parallel, multi-layered dragnet search. Finally, let part of the cavalry form a mobile force, ready to reinforce the place where the battle is taking place.

If it were replaced by the Mastar army, after adopting such tactics, the Phalensi would not have been able to jump for long at all. However, when the work fell to the Iberian lords, the effect was greatly reduced. The Falencians could always find loopholes in their front lines to exploit, leaving the troops in charge of guerrilla support in a state of exhaustion.

However, even if the Iberian army appeared clumsy, they still relied on their superiority in strength to gradually reduce the space for the Falensi army to operate. Colonel Luo Ang and his lightly wounded men felt this most clearly. Originally, they were in a poor state in terms of physical strength, but now they were being pressed by the other party step by step, and their flaws were immediately revealed. In an encounter just now, they failed to get rid of the opponent's entanglement in time, and immediately attracted the outflanking of the opponent's cavalry, and were forced to fall into a buried battle.

In fact, Luo Ang has always felt that he has been able to fight until now because of the blessing of Hisus, and he has never gotten rid of the dizziness caused by his head injury. But he still insisted on leading his soldiers back and forth through the small half of the city, and killed many fragments of Iberian troops. However, this time I'm afraid it's the end of good luck, Luo Ang thought. He swept away the spears of his enemies as he searched for ways to get himself and his men out of danger.

"Guys, find a way to rush to the mouth of that alley!" Luo Ang said.

"Cover sir!" A non-commissioned officer shouted as he rushed to an Iberian knight beside him, pushing him away with his tomahawk to clear a way for Roon. A few people who didn't hurt their legs couldn't help but pick up Luo Ang and ran in the direction he designated.

Although Luo Ang was dazed, he was still very conscious. "What are you doing, put me down!"

"Sir, please take care!" A man close to him whispered, and pushed him down the alley.

Luo Ang turned his head, but he felt a blur in front of him, he didn't know if it was his injury or something else, as if he felt a wetness on his cheeks. I should go back, they still need me, Luo Ang thought. However, the fighting situation of his comrades seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and he tried to struggle back, but the growing pain in his head made him almost lose control of his body. In the confusion, there seemed to be a force dragging him, Luo Ang didn't know if he had received help from others, and his consciousness gradually lost.

At the same time, Hollin of Gresden received an order, and the dragon knight was hastily led to the conference room.

"Legionnaire, dragon knight from Kaunescu." The herald reported.

All the officers of the Third Legion who were still in Graesden and above were gathered in the conference room, discussing a plan that would allow them to break through the blockade of the Royal Iberian Order and take on the friendly forces of Lankados.

"What orders did you bring us?" Huo Lin asked straight to the point.

"Admiral Hollin, this is an order from Her Majesty the Queen." The dragon knight handed over a letter.

Huo Lin took it and immediately opened it to watch.

"What did Her Majesty say?" Jack Fleet asked.

"The reinforcements led by Marshal Leus will arrive today, and you are ready to give the Iberians below a good look at our strength, and we will counterattack on all fronts." Huo Lin said loudly.

The whole meeting immediately burst into cheers.

"Rex, it's time for you to earn face, or let your axe cavalry take the lead." The first order of Hollin.

"Let me go with them." Jack Fleet offered to ask.

"Okay, Singled, how about handing over Neuss's lancers to the 7th Division as well?"

"I have no opinion."

"Brigide, Fabaru, you two take cover. Follow Jack Fleet and break through the opponent's blockade from the east. The rest of the men followed me, and we went out from the south to raid the Iberian camp. Arudina, you have to keep an eye on the top of my head, and don't let those Iberian chicks dangle above our heads. "Hollin assigns tasks to the officers.

At 3 p.m. on September 1, 348 A.D., Sogrend led the regrouped 5th, 6th, and 7th legions, totaling 65,000 men, to reach a distance of only 30 fatales from Lancados. The remnants of the 30th Division under Captain March Landil also joined him without incident. Due to the lack of commanders, Queen Margaret sent both deputy commanders of the Praetorian Guard to Sogrand. Sogrend put Larsson in charge of the Fifth Army, Yeft in charge of the Seventh Army, and himself in charge of the Sixth Army. March's arrival made him happy, because what he lacked most at the moment was experienced officers.

A quarter of an hour later, the dragon knights of Gresden also found Sogrend's army and reported to him the battle plan drawn up by Hollin. After making a slight suggestion, Sogrend conveyed to Hollin the detailed steps of the request for cooperation. He had the 30th Division in the lead, and Larsson and the Fifth Army in conjunction with the Third Army to attack the Royal Iberian Knights, which were blocking between Griston and Lancados. Himself and Yeft entered Lankados to aid the XIII Corps.

On the Iberian side, General García observed the beginning of the activity of the Gresden dragon knights, which alerted him to this. Therefore, he advised the king to urge the lords of the front line to intensify their attacks and clear the remnants of the Phalensi army in Lankados as soon as possible. The Earl of Lancaster's opinion tended to be conservative, and he believed that the battle line should be contracted at this time and preparations should be met with reinforcements from the opposing side. However, the Iberian from top to bottom did not bother to give up the meat in his mouth, and his opinion was once again ignored.

China had already moved her command post for the sixth time this afternoon, and as the space for movement became more and more cramped, the area around the Legion headquarters was already in a state of flux.

"Legionnaire, get ready to transfer." Kreyit reminded.

"Destroy all the documents, I'm afraid we're going to get out of the city this time." China ordered.

Subsequently, all personnel in the command received their weapons, and most of the next ones were to encounter the enemy.

There were still 38 men in the headquarters of the 13th Legion, and they formed a team to break through near the city gate. At this moment, sporadic battles were taking place all over the city, and the desperate Phalensi army was forced to fight the enemy in a final battle. The Iberians were dotted on every street of the city, and even though Cena and Kreyit were cautious, they could not avoid the battle.

From the moment China left the barricade, they encountered each other's 55-man team in succession. Many people in the 13th Legion had heard how Chyna led the Praetorian Guard to protect Her Majesty the current Queen from Kaunescu on that night four years ago, and today they were finally able to see the bravery of the female Legion Commander with their own eyes.

With a saber in front of her, she specializes in sniping at the knights who are leading the way. For the most part, the Iberian knights couldn't hold her off for three rounds. Once the knights in the squad are killed, the remaining pikemen can be easily dispersed. Encounters like this were fought again and again, and the initial contempt of the Iberian knights often turned into a fear after the first victim fell, which made them even more uneasy.

Cenna wandered among the corpses as if she were a Valkyrie on the battlefield, the blood of her enemies staining her armor and robes red, enveloping her whole body in a brilliant glow in the light of the setting sun. More and more Iberian troops came to her side, but China was unmoved, and all enemies who tried to get close to her were knocked to the ground. Kreyit and the others followed her in her footsteps with a sense of adoration, covering her flanks and back.

However, even a true Valkyrie can be spotted with flaws and gaps. Just when the Pharians thought they could assault all the way to the gates, a feathered arrow ruthlessly shattered their illusions. The arrow hit Cena directly on the left side of her back, near her spine, and the force of the arrow was so great that she couldn't help but shake her body. Seeing this, the surrounding Iberians cheered, and they realized that the woman in front of them could also be killed, which boosted their morale.

"Cover sir!" Kreyit shouted, and the Pharensi pounced desperately for where China was.

The Iberians seemed determined to use long-range fire to destroy them, and more arrows flew towards the group of Pharians. Kreit sent the crowd into a circle to protect Chenna, but the Phalens, lacking a large shield, soon suffered heavy casualties, but they still formed a wall with their bodies and did not inflict more damage on Chenna.

"Legionnaire, Legionnaire, how are you feeling?!" Kreyit asked, holding Chenna's shoulder.

"I'm fine." Chyna spat out the words slowly, reaching out to push Kreyit's hand away, but the blood oozing from her blue lips made her comfort very weak.

"You guys get out of here, find a way to get out of here!" Gina ordered, screams of arrows ringing in her ears from time to time.

Kreit felt her tremble from her holding hand, "Protector, we're here for backup!" He immediately shouted such an order.

The Iberians stopped shooting, they felt they could come and clean up the battlefield. Almost every one of the Pharisees had been hit by two or three arrows, and they formed a tight circle, staring at the enemy who was approaching him with a dead eye. It should be said that few of the staff members of this formation have experienced the desperate struggle on the front line, but this does not mean that they will have any cowardice in the face of this situation. On the contrary, the Iberians were bluffed by this group of Pharians.

The Pharyns leaned on each other tightly, not out of fear, but so that even if they were unconscious, they could still support each other with their comrades and not let themselves fall. The Iberians could not break through their defenses, but they themselves suffered a lot of losses.

Cenna knelt on one knee with her saber propped up, she felt her strength draining rapidly, feeling her body gradually becoming cold. There was a loud roar in her head, which made her feel dizzy. She tried to get herself to her feet, but there was no strength in her legs. "Thorgrande, Thorgrande......" she began to call the name without stopping.

Am I going to die? China thought, no, I can't die here. Rhine and Eco are still waiting for me at home, and I am still guarding Thorge's back! Thinking of this, China suddenly felt her strength regained, and she stood up on the ground.

"Everybody...... Stick to ...... Stay, Saulgrand...... Saugland ...... Will come to our rescue soon. China said loudly, thinking to herself. Kreyit choked up when he heard her words, and the Legion Commander was already incoherent. She may also be a little unconscious, and she never calls her husband by name in front of others.

The ensuing battle lasted only about 10 minutes, but Kreitt felt like a century long. In the formation of the Pharians, there were people who fell, and others who fell and got up. Just as Kreit was feeling desperate, the Iberian army that surrounded them began to disorganize and then fled in all directions. Reinforcements have finally arrived!

Arudina led the dragon knights across the sky over Lankados, and the setting sun shone on the land in the western sky as if it were stained red with blood. In and out of the city of Lancados, the Iberian army was in a state of rout. In the course of their attack, they were suddenly caught off guard by reinforcements from Farensi, and suffered heavy casualties. To the terrified Iberians, the sunlit battlefield was as terrible as a bloody hell, and they couldn't wait to escape. The Phalensi army is pouring in like a tidal wave, and there is a great tendency to wash the land.
