Chapter 95 The Second Battle of Budapest Its Tenth, a Critical Moment
It's the last day, book friends, let's vote for our generation with the monthly passes...... Thank you.
At this point, the war was once again in a state of flux. At this moment, it was already about four o'clock in the afternoon, two or three hours before it got dark. Both sides have already used their strength to defeat the other. And all the elite troops that can be used are used. Now both sides still have a large number of reserve troops left. But they were insignificant, improvised peasant soldiers. There is no more elite troops......
No, that's still a bit incorrect. Speaking of elite troops, Egil does have another one, that is, the fifty knights of the guard under his command. Of course, this isn't really much use.
It's only fifty people. Moreover, these guys also use the sound of a horn to convey Egil's orders. In this way, the effect of their entry into the battlefield is not as great as that of staying by Egil's side. So it's the same with and without it.
In other words, both sides have done their best. And on the front-line infantry line, the number of armies on both sides has also reached saturation. Now, not even an Eastern Roman heavy infantry brigade, or a Norman thousand-man brigade, could get in.
"That's it. Egil sighed softly, "Joan of Arc, it's up to you." Don't let me down......"
"What a rival. ”
At the same time, Emperor Basil II on the opposite side also expressed this emotion: "I have been fighting horses for many years, and I have seen all kinds of troops, but I have never encountered such a strong opponent. If it hadn't been for the Minotaurs United, I'm afraid it would have been ......"
Speaking of which, His Majesty the Emperor could not continue. I also have to save some face for my subordinates. Although the generals were a little too numerous, they were really of little use in a sense. There are even many times when it is not as good as a heavy infantry......
And at this moment, another herald rushed from the front, reporting the collapse of the two thousand troops of the Latin Legion on the front. Support is urgently needed. Basil II was troubled again when he heard this.
In addition to the Greek legions of the Eastern Romans, Basil II also had two standing mercenary regiments, a Latin legion with strong combat effectiveness, and a Germanic legion.
The battle has reached this point, and the various brigades of the two mercenary legions have basically thrown themselves into battle. Heavy casualties were taken in such a gruesome battle.
And the soldiers of these other peoples, as well as the mercenaries, naturally did not know what the glory of the Roman Empire was, like the Greeks. In peacetime, wars are fought only for money. When it comes to such a battle, it is directly stupid. At the forefront, a brigade of Balkan mountain people, after throwing javelins, overturned a vote of forest axemen from the Baltic coast. However, immediately afterward, he was crushed by a team of decisive assault fighters with more powerful impact, and then he was showered by a rain of longbows and arrows. The whole formation collapsed all at once......
On the other side, a nearby Latin legion—those of Pisa with strong crossbows—the Sergeants of Renaya had no role to play in the melee. A small number of them were equipped with chain mail, and some Latin sergeants with chain mail were even more useless. However, when it came to withstanding the charge of the Norman assault infantry, they also had a different approach. The Aranoma two-handed swordsmen from Germany, armed with Germanic-style two-handed broadswords, also launched a counter-charge against the Norman army. Although the armor-piercing ability of the greatsword is not comparable to that of a battle axe. But slashing the human body is more convenient and faster.
A thousand-strong team of Aranoma swordsmen quickly blocked the assault force of two or three groups, more than 1,300 Nordic Sami axemen and forest axemen. On the battlefield, the sword light and axe shadows flashed one after another. The roars of the soldiers on both sides shook the sky and fought bravely!
"Longbow team, shoot at that area cover!"
At this moment, Viscount Robin Hood, who was commanding the longbow wrong, also launched a ruthless attack. After getting Egil's hint, the former green forest hero also put aside his moral concept, his face was gloomy, and he directly ordered the longbowmen to attack directly, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies.
Under the dense rain of arrows, both Normans and Germans screamed, baptized by the rain of arrows as dense as dark clouds, almost blocking the sun, these people did not have much good armor on their bodies, especially the guys who did not want to wear helmets suddenly suffered heavy casualties......
In this way, the Norman army successfully broke through the front line of the two mercenaries with its crazy and deadly fighting methods. That's what the herald said.
"Two more reserve legions will be transferred. Basil II frowned, and then said. When the war reached such a time, both sides invested tens of thousands of troops and lost tens of thousands of troops. With such a heavy bet, no one can afford to lose. This investment in the army to fight the war is actually very similar to speculating in stocks, and the stalemate in the war is very similar to the stock being trapped, and if you want to save it, you need to invest more troops. And so on and so forth...... A vicious circle, in which more and more losses are lost, more and more......
-- In the end, all the family property, deposits, bank loans, public funds, wives and children, houses, places, cars, villas, private yachts, all special codes are pressed!
Come on! Open !!
That's it, on the front, both sides threw legions, brigades, and thousand-man teams into it, and the whole battlefield was like a meat grinder, and Egil and Basil were like two cold-blooded and ruthless butchers, constantly, without hesitation, cold-blooded, and ruthlessly pouring large batches of fresh and lively creatures into the machine that could never satisfy their appetites, and churning those soldiers, along with their armor and weapons, into minced meat.
The war is still going on.
Today, the frontal battlefield is largely evenly matched. The two sides invariably turned their eyes to the left (right) flank again. And see it as the key to success.
On the left flank of the coalition forces, encouraged by Joan of Arc, the French soldiers gathered again. Start besieging a minotaur with several, dozens, or even dozens of people. Despite the weapons in their hands, it seemed very ridiculous to a three-meter-tall minotaur monster. And the minotaurs can kill the fragile human soldiers even if they don't use their door-like tomahawks, and simply use their hands to swing them. However, there are simply too many of them. And it cooperated very well, but the minotaurs didn't know what the so-called formation and tactics were. It's all in silos. So all of a sudden they got into trouble.
If it were just that, the French had the courage to attack. But their attack only hurt the minotaurs. Injuries - that's all. Just take a little more time, wait until Joan of Arc's skill time is gone, and then attack hard, then you can defeat it.
That's exactly what it was.
However, after this, Egil's Norman crossbowmen moved to the left flank, where they had suffered minor casualties in the previous battle on the Nameless Heights, but not severely. Thus it is still possible to organize a salvo with very good effect.
"Attack their heads! Aim and shoot in groups of ten!" shouted the crossbowmen commanders, with their soldiers, and drew their bows and wound them at the minotaurs.
The situation on the left flank was stabilized in an instant, and even, after seeing the crossbow again, an almost nemesis-like class, the minotaurs began to become fearful. The French people on the left are even beginning to gain the upper hand......
"Damn, you idiots, keep attacking!" said the Minotaur, who saw his people stop charging and even began to retreat, yelled as he slashed down a minotaur that had scurried to his side with a frustrated axe.
"Then do it again!" With that in mind, the minotaur and his guards began to charge again, toward the crossbowmen's array.
And at this moment, a new change has emerged again. Together with the Eastern Roman lancers, as well as the two regular Eastern Roman legions that had lost a small number of soldiers, after dealing with the last bit of Hungarian rangers, they also joined the battle against the Franks.
“...... Send another 3,000 troops to help the waste. "Although it is said that no more reinforcements will be sent over. But in fact, it was just a matter of talking, and seeing that the Eastern Romans had increased their forces again, Egil snorted coldly and sent over the three thousand-strong spearmen from the Scottish Highlands.
I don't need any help from them, just don't mess with me. Egil was silent, and at the same time felt that something was wrong, raised his head, and then reached out again, feeling a drop of water fall onto his palm. ,
"It's raining?"
At this moment, on the left wing, Joan of Arc showed no mercy in the face of these man-eating monsters, and the long sword in his hand stabbed continuously, and he had already killed twenty-three Minotaurs. And behind her, Philip II's complexion became worse and worse.
"It's this woman again...... Damn, why is this woman always the case!, God, if she's really your angel, then please hurry up and let her go back. If you can't......"
Philip II's eyes were fixed on a powerful crossbow that he didn't know which crossbowman had thrown on the ground......
Joan of Arc was in the limelight on the frontal battlefield, killing a large number of Minotaur warriors in a row as a human, and such a record was also seen by the leader of the opposing party. And the minotaur monster looked at the human soldiers around him, and he understood more or less that these fragile human cubs dared to resist, most likely because they were inspired by this little girl......
"Kill her. ”
The Minotaur, the patriarch of the Minotaur Clan, grinned, took the battle axe in his hand, and rushed in the direction of Joan of Arc......
