Volume 1 The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 128 Bait
Relying on the cooperation of equipped swordsmen and sword and shield hands, the Imperial Legion not only did not take half a step back, but continued to press forward towards the enemy in mutual cooperation.
At this time, the tribal warriors on the opposite side, who were carried away by the rage, although they were not afraid of death and continued to attack the enemy, but they could not resist at all, and could only be uncontrollably retreated by the Imperial infantry with shields against them.
Seeing his inferiority, Gale shouted to the archers who were staying in the distance, "Shoot arrows quickly, and support your allies!"
The archers obeyed the prince's orders and fired at the Imperial infantry continuously, but the Imperial infantry were well defended, and they defended themselves against the enemy's bows and arrows with thick shields on their heads, and the scattered arrows did not damage them much.
The Imperial infantry formed a shield formation, and continued to advance towards the enemy's main force as previously planned.
After paying many casualties, some of the tribal warriors finally could not withstand the pressure of the advancing shield array, and threw down their tomahawks and shields and fled to the rear as if they were crazy.
The deserters' escape was like a fuse, inspiring fear in the hearts of the other tribal warriors who were still fighting.
After the initial blood gradually faded, the desire for survival in their hearts outweighed the hatred of the Imperial nobles, and they completely lost the will to fight to the death against the Imperial Legion, and the hordes of tribal warriors abandoned their weapons and began a large-scale escape with their backs to the enemy.
The Centurion and Centurion, who were still fighting the enemy, roared around and immediately slashed the deserters beside him, trying to order his soldiers to return to the battlefield and continue the battle, but no one obeyed their orders, and only they were still resisting the advance of the Imperial infantry.
Although they relied on their strong bodies and wielded battle axes and war hammers, they crushed the siege of the Imperial infantry one after another. But as time passed, the strength of their bodies continued to weaken.
The weapons they wielded in their hands became sluggish and weak, and it was difficult to even take a few steps forward.
The infantry besieging these commanders and centurions seized on the enemy's flaws and stabbed their long swords, and the warriors of these tribes were pierced by countless swords, and could only let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground.
In this skirmish, the Imperial infantry relied on years of training and excellent cooperation, and only defeated the elite troops under Gael's command with negligible losses.
At the same time, on the side of the higher hillside, Torun looked at the tribal warriors fleeing one after another on the battlefield and showed a sarcastic sneer, he said to the minotaur warriors behind him: "What a rabble, we have created such a big advantage for these weak humans, they can still fight the war like this! It seems that we still need to make a move, let's go!"
After saying that, Toren rode his own thorn drake from a small hill in the distance, followed closely by the minotaur warriors who rode the thorn dhammon. They rode on huge thorny drakemons and rushed towards the position of the Imperial infantry with the power of shaking the mountains and shaking the ground.
Seeing the Abyss Army rushing in, the Imperial Infantry, which was not moving fast, could only give up the pursuit of the Snow Barbarians and turned to the direction of the Abyss Army's attack, and the lords commanded all the sword and shield men to rush to the front of the formation, forming a multi-layered shield formation, hoping to use this to block the enemy's attack.
The sword and shield hands trembled and held their shields to meet the arrival of the enemy, and they also knew in their hearts that these shields alone could not resist the impact of these huge thorny dragon beasts, these shield arrays were a heavy defense, but their own bodies were also a heavy shield.
They were also afraid of the next battle, but because of the strict military regulations of the Empire, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the lords, so they had to pray in their hearts that the giant beast would not crash into the shield array on their side, so that they might still be able to save their lives in the impact.
Shani looked at the situation on the battlefield and hurriedly asked the Empress Gladys in front of her, "Your Majesty, the enemy's behemoth beast is already about to collide with our infantry, why don't you use trebuchets to bombard the enemy's flanks now?"
Gladys observed the enemy's movements, and without looking back, she said, "I just waited for the enemy to crash into the infantry formation." The enemy's commander is cautious, and as long as the legion does not send the main force, he will not show his full strength.
So I sent the infantry units of the Legion to lure the enemy commander to take the bait, and in order to ensure the final victory of the battle, he will definitely send these charging beasts, our army has not many remaining boulders, I must make sure that these monsters come to a complete stop, and the trebuchet can inflict maximum damage on them.
As long as these monsters that can charge into battle are eliminated by us, and the enemy is left with only an unknown army that can release flames, then I can completely destroy these strange enemies with the advantage of the number of the legions, and those snowy barbarians are not worth mentioning at all. ”
Shani realized that the Empress had already made up her mind to sacrifice the infantry of these legions in exchange for the final victory in the war.
If the plan succeeds as the Empress envisions, even if it wins, it will be a crushing victory for the Empire.
Shani looked at the Imperial soldiers lined up in several shields on the battlefield, and suddenly thought melancholy in her heart, war is cruel, and these battle-hardened soldiers are just bait at this time, and they are just some insignificant bait in the empress's heart.
Ten seconds later, Torun and his subordinates rushed into the formation of the Imperial infantry, and the shield array painstakingly constructed by the legion did not play the slightest role and was destroyed by the giant beast, obviously in the face of absolute power, any obstacle was in vain!
