995. Holy Light
At present, the total strength of the Third Army is about 30,000 troops.
The most elite of these were the six heavy cavalry regiments, all of which were knights in uniform and equipped with full-covered black iron armor and blue-scaled horses.
The six heavy cavalry battalions numbered about 3,000 men.
Ten light cavalry regiments, which were formed entirely to complement the heavy cavalry, this part of the army totaled 5,000 men.
These cavalry were the main force of the Third Army.
In addition to this, there were ten regiments of heavy infantry in the legion, almost about fifteen thousand elite heavy infantry.
Two regiments of archers, about three thousand people.
Finally, there is an auxiliary regiment of 5,000 people, which is mainly responsible for material transportation and building camps in peacetime.
And the problem lies precisely in the 5,000 engineering auxiliaries, all the troops of the legion entered this mountain and rain forest, and the various war groups were relatively scattered, resulting in the supply line of the entire battle situation being too long.
Sixteen cavalry regiments had been hovering on the outskirts of Bansk Town, refusing to take another step into the eastern hills, and because of its relative proximity to Bansk Town, the cavalry regiments were fairly well supplied.
But the life of the infantry regiment was very difficult, and the supply of materials was not at all, which slowed down the speed of the infantry regiment's clearance in the mountains.
Even with the full cooperation of the black magicians, there is still no way to completely deal with the remnants of the rebels in the mountains.
……
And the information obtained by the magicians in the law enforcement group through it is:
In order to allow the army to communicate with the Hellhounds, the Dark Mages had some ordinary townspeople make a magical contract with the Hellhounds.
These demonic minions are all from Acretown, which is said to be in the northern part of the Gampoo plane, and the magicians of the Law Enforcement Corps are worried that this northern town may have been completely controlled by the Dark Arts Retreat.
The information here is so occlusive......
The situation is far more serious than imagined, and it seems that the Magical Hermitage must have a bigger agenda.
In addition, just today, the magicians of the Enforcement Regiment once again encountered the Black Mage in the sky above the jungle, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and the magicians of the Enforcement Regiment did not take any advantage.
It can even be said that it suffered a small loss, a mage was shot in the arm by a shadow arrow, and fell from the magic rod.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to fall into the river, he would have lost more than just a high-performance magic weapon.
……
The strength of the Third Army was much greater than that of Surdak, a heavy infantry regiment that had not yet been formed......
However, Surdak's side also has a lot of advantages, everyone is in the shadows at the moment, the commander of the Third Legion, Grova, does not know that there is such a newly formed army ready to collide with them, and most importantly, there is a battle-experienced army of constructed swordsmen, this Crow Ridge is an area where the Resistance often operates, and the Resistance soldiers are extremely familiar with the environment here.
Surdak consulted with the Archswordsman of Quintas and the Archmage of Harper, intending to eat the Seventh Infantry Regiment of the Third Legion in one bite.
This infantry regiment had about 1,500 infantrymen.
If you look at the map, you can see that the 7th Infantry Regiment has reached out of an awl from the border of the town of Bansk and pierced into the jungle ridge on the east side.
In the afternoon, the magicians flew to the 7th Infantry Regiment camp again on their magic handlebars, probing for possible reinforcements around their camp.
The Archswordsman of Quintas led the constructed swordsmen into the jungle in advance, blocking the retreat of the 7th Infantry Regiment.
Surdak's hoplite regiment was to depart in the evening. Mosby was currently the commander of the 1st Heavy Infantry Regiment, and Surdak had brought back only 1,500 pieces of fully covered armor, which had only been equipped with one heavy infantry regiment.
In addition to this regiment of heavy infantry, five hundred archers accompanied the army, and these archers were almost all dressed in leather boots and linen clothes, except for a metal bow in each hand.
The recruits didn't care, though, and they liked the longbow with a longer range.
The latest news from the Magic Mission, the 7th Infantry Regiment was at least ten kilometers away from the infantry regiment behind.
Even if the other infantry regiments rushed to the rescue, it would be at least an hour later.
The team stepped through a puddle of duckweed, treading on the fluffy dead leaves, and as night fell, they saw the distant lights of the jungle lit up, and clusters of bonfires passed through the cracks in the trees and into Surdak's eyes.
It seemed that the soldiers over there were eating dinner, and there was some smell of barbecue in the air, maybe there was not enough military food to eat, and some forest beasts needed to be hunted.
Samira personally eliminated the sentry post in the forest area on the west side of the 7th Infantry Battalion, and the team was close to fifty meters away, and the sound of the lord's army chatting during the meal could be heard very clearly in everyone's ears.
All the archers came to the front of the line and lined up in a long line......
Maybe the campfires in the camp were too bright, or maybe the infantry regiment trusted the surrounding sentry posts too much, and they didn't know anything about the arrival of the Surdak infantry regiment.
That's how the battle began......
The archers came out from behind the trees and fired a round of flat fire at the camp of the 7th Infantry Regiment, and the infantry soldiers near the campfire on the west side of the camp were shot one after another.
The infantry soldiers who survived the disaster hurriedly looked for cover and hid behind, and there was a wailing and screaming from the camp, screaming and scolding, some people shouted 'enemy attack ......', and some people picked up the weapons around them and prepared to counterattack.
The archers continued to close, firing a second round of arrows.
Ned. It was the first time that Mosby had participated in such an attack, and when he saw the infantry warriors in the opposite camp begin to counterattack, he hurriedly asked the unarmored archers to retreat behind the shield warriors and spear warriors.
All of a sudden, a group of shield warriors in jet-black armor emerged from the woods, holding brand-new swords and shields in their hands.
A two-headed ogre more than three meters tall rushed to the front of the group, he carried a big stick full of barbs in his hand, every step he took, he felt the woodland tremble, he was wearing thick ice armor, and he was still holding a fireball in his hand, I saw him throw the fireball in his hand at an archer who was about to draw a bow and arrows, the fireball exploded in front of the archer, and immediately blew the archer away.
The squadron leaders of the 7th Infantry Regiment had assembled their ranks in the camp, and the infantry on the western flank had come to the aid of the commander.
The squadron leaders of these infantry regiments are all first-turn soldiers, but they are not heavy cavalry regiments, and the squadron leaders do not have magic pattern formations, although they have rich combat experience and combat power are not bad, but in front of the two-headed ogre with the strength of the second turn, they are like little sheep without any threat.
Gulitham picked up the big stick and smashed a squadron leader who rushed over with a shield in the air, and his body flew out more than ten meters in the air, crashing into a big tree, and when the blood spurted out, it even carried some broken livers.
Surdak is still in the center of the infantry team, the aura of strength under his feet is the greatest support for these heavy infantry, this suit of armor is too heavy, the soldiers charge in this suit of armor, and the physical consumption is extremely fast, only with the aura of Surdak's strength can it be alleviated.
However, Surdak's aura of power is limited in range, and only the warriors standing within sixty yards of Surdak can feel it, and not all infantry fighters can grab such a good position.
This also forced the charging team to be cohesive enough......
These poor lords' troops actually took off their armor while eating lunch, and now many people did not have time to put the armor on their bodies, and began to engage in fierce battles with the recruits of the Surdak infantry regiment.
At the front of the line is a two-headed ogre, followed by a paladin with an aura of power.
The new army didn't even have a charge formation, and under the leadership of the two-headed ogre, it naturally became a sharp arrow formation, like a sharp arrow piercing into the barracks of the 7th Infantry Regiment.
At the beginning, the commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment was still standing at the gate of the big tent of the Chinese army, commanding the battle with a determined face.
As the infantry of the lord army retreated, the commander was completely panicked for a while, and hurriedly sent three red magic signal flares into the night sky.
Samira followed the battlefield with five hundred archers to mend his sword.
Surdak quickly rushed to the middle of the camp, and the commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment, surrounded by cronies, quickly retreated westward.
And in the corner of the camp, there were more than fifty hellhounds and demon servants gathered here, and before they could join the battle, they found these twenty or so magicians floating in the air, and their hands almost lit up with fireballs, and the flames smashed down, and the camp here turned into a sea of fire.
Hellhounds suffered numerous casualties under the fireball......
In just half an hour, the camp of the 7th Infantry Battalion was declared broken, and Commander Alex fled with a group of routs into the dense forest to the west.
Since it was darkness, the woods were full of fleeing lord armies.
There were also some lords who saw the men behind them catch up and raised their hands in surrender, and the archers who arrived behind picked up the ropes around their waists and tied up all the captives.
Whether the captives were injured or not, they were dragged to the front of the tent in the center of the camp and kept in a centralized manner.
……
Each of the swordsmen was spaced five meters apart, and they were like a giant fishing net, blocking the way back from the 7th Infantry Regiment.
Hearing the shouts of killing from the camp, the Great Swordsman of Quintas was a little impatient, but he resisted the urge to lead the team of constructed swordsmen to kill him.
Finally, the sound of the hasty escape in the jungle was heard, and the violent gasps of many warriors were heard.
The Great Swordsman of Quintas drew his double sword, and finally there was a warrior who was at the front, and he stepped over a cluster of low bushes with flying arrows, grabbed the horizontal branch above his head with both hands, and then leaped more than ten meters with the help of his strength......
In a panic, he saw that the figure of a constructed swordsman in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, as if he had taken the initiative to send it up.
The sharp sword flashed through his neck, and he only felt a sudden chill in his throat, and a warm and moist thing sprayed out under the sharp pain, and in fright, he covered his throat with both hands on the blood, and rolled on the ground, making a dying struggle.
The constructed swordsman didn't even look back, his cold gaze was still staring ahead, and countless fleeing figures fled in the forest.
The magicians in the night sky kept throwing fireballs into the woodland, and the shimmering flares lit up the entire woodland.
Strangulation......
……
It wasn't until the two-headed ogre Gullitham and the Archswordsman of Quintas converged that the ogre knew that the Seventh Infantry Regiment had been completely destroyed, and that many parts of the woodland were still fighting, but with a large number of constructed swordsmen freeing up their hands to reinforce all parts of the woodland, the battle was nearing its end.
The battle lasted less than an hour, and there was a lot of loot waiting to be disposed of.
This time, the Constructed Swordsmen Regiment was still tasked with holding back reinforcements from other infantry regiments.
The Wizards of the Law Enforcement Regiment also caught a black mage on the side of the Hellhound camp, and the five mages flew in different directions to the west and began to probe the movements of these reinforcements in the night sky.
After only a quarter of an hour or so of waiting, everyone had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the first infantry regiment that rushed over to reinforce had already encountered the resistance of the constructed swordsmen.
The constructed warriors hidden in the dark night jungle are extremely lethal for these heavy armored infantry, and the constructed swordsmen are extremely flexible when fighting, especially with the agility of the magic pattern construction, running, jumping, and dodging are all higher than usual, and the heavy armored infantry who rushed over to reinforce will be defeated in a flash.
At this time, the spear infantry hidden behind the constructed swordsman followed the shield warrior and rushed out again, these reinforcements had been killed by the constructed swordsman to cry dad and mother, and when they saw more warriors coming out of the back, they left their comrades who were killed and wounded, and retreated decisively.
Until the sky was slightly bright, there were five infantry regiments of the lord's army involved in this battlefield, but unfortunately they did not come at the same time, and the forces were too scattered.
The end result was that Surdak's hoplite regiment had brought back the entire camp of the 7th Infantry Regiment.
In addition to this, more than three thousand armor and weapons were captured, as well as more than a thousand prisoners of the infantry regiments of the lord army.
……
By the river, the Great Swordsman of Quintas took off his blood-stained boots and threw them into the clear water, which instantly stained a large area of red.
He washed the demonic pattern structure he had taken off.
By the river, five hundred swordsmen in uniform were washing their equipment, and the smell of blood was simply too strong.
They are the swordsmen of the first armored swordsman regiment of the Luther Legion, when the Marquis of Luther presided over the battle of Talapakang, when the swordsman regiment of the Great Swordsman of Quintas fought, most of them faced the opponent's elite heavy cavalry regiment, and the battle of strangling the infantry regiment was really rare.
Almost even if it is a dimensionality reduction strike, victory in battle is expected.
In particular, there were four second-turn powerhouses in a battle, and thirty magicians were fully supported in the night sky......
If it weren't for Surdak's desire to digest these spoils of war as soon as possible and increase the combat power of the hoplite infantry regiment, he would have wanted to continue the pursuit and expand the results.
At this time, Surdak was in the camp to treat the wounded warriors, and the more than thirty hellhound heads that he hunted were fully used here.
Clusters of holy light flickered in Surdak's hands, and this golden holy light not only reflected the eyes of the soldiers of the New Army around them, but also shone into their hearts like a pillar of light falling from the sky......
