66.Noh Fight (2)
The rain fell wildly, and the lightning thundered.
Under the light of the white and purple thunder, John's roar, which was neither astonishing nor pleasant, was full of commanding spirit.
With such a high-spirited fighting spirit and such a high-pitched fighting spirit, what man would not be infected by his words?
Even if the body is scattered with bleeding wounds!
Even if they have just experienced a fierce battle, they are already exhausted!
Following such a general, following such a man, how could they be cowardly?!
Since they can even be slain by the messengers of the gods, who else can stop them from shaking the heavens and the earth?!
The rain was heavier, and finally someone took a deep breath and gritted their teeth to stand up, followed by two, three......
John watched all this silently, and said nothing, but took the lead in reining in his horse, and it was not until he came to the gate where a large number of dead bodies had been piled up that he suddenly turned his horse's head, raised his head so high, almost to burst his throat:
"Who can still fight?!"
"Me!"
"Who would dare to fight?!"
"Me! I! I!!! ”
With only a short syllable forming a tsunami of sound, all the Sturgian warriors who had not fallen seriously were responding to their generals with loud voices.
"Everyone! Anyone who can ride a horse is on board! Running in a queue without riding a horse! ”
Almost immediately, all the soldiers moved with great efficiency, and ten hoplites had touched the horses long before John gave the order, fearing that if John's order was delivered, they might not be able to move and be unable to rob the others.
By the time several of them had climbed onto their horses with great difficulty, the rest of the camp had all assembled, and in addition to the ten of them, three unarmored Stegian warriors had also climbed onto their horses.
Fourteen cavalrymen, including John, were cavalry (mostly mounted infantry), while the rest were twenty-one ready to march on foot and ten in carriages.
White bit his lip hard, and suddenly felt how stupid he was to oppose John just now, could he just stop fighting because he didn't have the strength to fight?!
They are the last glory of the proudest Imperial Legion on the continent of Calradia! The people of the empire have a few more heads and hands than the people of other kingdoms and tribes, and the average strength of each person may not be at the forefront of the continent, but why did the empire once rule the territory of the entire continent?
For if the enemy is cunning, they are more cunning than the enemy.
If the enemy is tough, they are tougher than the enemy!
The Kusette, who once exhausted the three frontier legions of the Calradia Empire, so that the eastern defense line of the empire was completely empty, and the whole country of the empire was in turmoil, and it was not without it that the Kusets suffered a crushing defeat.
At that time, the nobles of the Senate still maintained a martial atmosphere, and the men of the various large families, both old and young, were urgently mobilized to form a new legion temporarily, and such a legion, which was destined to have no reinforcements, ventured deep into the steppe again and attacked the great rear where the Kuset relatives were located.
The Kusets, who had absolute superiority in mobility and the initiative on the battlefield, had to abandon their rich cities at their fingertips and quickly return to fight the Imperial legions head-on.
The battle, full of bloody memories, lasted three days and three nights, and the Kussets organized numerous assaults, and even began to dismount and fight on foot, but could not shake the line of the Imperial Legions.
The shields in the hands of each of the legionnaires were densely packed with arrows, and many of them had their arms pierced through the shields and could not be removed, but they still held the line until the Kussets left behind countless senseless corpses.
Eventually, the tenacity of the Imperial Legion forced this powerful tribe that had migrated from the steppes of the Far East to retreat.
At the behest of all the clan elders under his command, the great Uerhun Khan sent an emissary to negotiate peace with the empire in exchange for the safety of their loved ones.
In the end, the Imperial Legion was unable to return to their homeland, and the Uerhun Khan lamented that even in the West, there were such fierce warriors who were not afraid of death, which might not be a good thing for this barely surviving tribe, so after signing the peace treaty, he sent men to kill all the warriors on the way back.
The tenacity of the Imperial Legion made it necessary for even the cunning and cruel of the Qusettes to use shady tricks to defeat them, and now, as the last spiritual successors of the Imperial Legion, can't they be like these ancient heroes?!
It's just a series of battles! Fight again! It's a hard fight!
Therefore, White also turned on his horse despite exhaustion, and casually gave a few orders to let the soldiers in the marching column keep up with his speed, and then the infantry followed the cavalry who were rumbling away and left the lumber yard camp.
On the night of the rainstorm, there are warriors singing forward!
"Can you still move?"
"Of course you can!"
With the unexpected rainstorm, the attack of the foresters from beneath the wooden walls finally weakened, and although they continued to climb towards the city, the defenders, who suffered equally heavy casualties, no longer had to face the same pressure as they had at the beginning.
So much so that Karl, who rushed to various battlefields and extinguished the crisis of annihilation countless times, was also able to rest with his hands free.
He sat directly next to Ron and Arthur, ignoring the blood stains on his hands, and directly hugged the boiled soft air-dried meat and swallowed it in a big gulp, and after swallowing about four servings of air-dried meat for ordinary people, Carl rubbed his stomach with a little satisfaction, both to eliminate food and to restore strength.
And when the legion commander asked in a low voice if he could fight again, he responded even more loudly that he could, and immediately stood up alone with both hands on the ground, seeing that the guards beside him who were also wearing heavy armor were dumbfounded.
Things have come to this point, so Carl doesn't continue to ask when Ron will send out his "mouthful" reserves again.
Even if you don't send it out, what will happen? It's just a matter of making a few more cuts by yourself!
After questioning Carl on the left, Ron turned around and whispered to another heavy armored warrior beside him, "Arthur......"
Arthur, who was named, sighed helplessly again in his chest, but he still barely mustered up his strength and replied seriously, "Commander, it has been about an hour and forty minutes since the people of the forest appeared. ”
After answering Ron's question, Arthur closed his mouth and continued to count the time silently, both helpless and with nothing to do, Arthur had accepted his fate as only a chiming bird now.
Once again, the time was confirmed from Arthur's mouth, and although the distance of Urstock Village was covered by the rainstorm and could not be seen clearly, Ron did not feel any movement from there, and his brows furrowed again.
"It takes an hour to return from the logging site to the village of Ustock."
"So John, you'd better get off forty minutes ago."
