"Although I have known for a long time, these guys are weak in combat and simply cannot take on too important combat work...... However, the degree of weak chickens of this weak chicken is inevitably too weak. It's true, it's this level, these bastard Nirosians are so easy to brag? What do you say that the Mamluks are invincible? It's a joke......

After complaining like this, and gaining the unanimous approval of the staff officers around him, General Leopold smiled confidently, with a sense of superiority and a slight arrogance.

He completely ignored what the herald said, the voice of the other party, that is, the natives of Nirosia, who "wanted to be seen", and did not want to or have any interest in accommodating it.

"Well, anyway, I didn't really rely on those guys, and I really took those guys to heart.

In other words, I have been mentally prepared for a long time. These scum are scum, and these scum can't be relied on at all -- it's not, rightfully so. ”

He chuckled, and then General Leopold raised his voice. He shouted to his officers, soldiers, the Visigothic expeditionary force of fifty thousand:

"So, my soldiers, my friends, it's time for us to play! Be honored, be excited. This will be a glorious moment, and at the same time, it is also a moment destined to be written and recorded by history.

Hundreds of years, even thousands of years ago, the Goths, who had been artificially divided, divided and divided by the fat-brained, rat-eyed, sinful aristocracy, met again - in this land of yellow sand. That is, on this battlefield!!

Those guys of the Russian Gothic Empire kept an arrogant face at all times and on all occasions. They are like this from top to bottom, they consider themselves noble. Most hopelessly, these guys think they're the best candidates to integrate the classical Gothic Empire. They believed that they were the only ones who could represent the Goths, represent the Gothic nation!!

My friends, what I'm going to say to you, what I'm going to say, what I'm going to shout at them is, they're wrong!!

Because, we Visigoths, we are the best inheritors of the Gothic nation, yes, we are the most orthodox Goths!!!"

With the loud speech of the general Leopold, the spirits of the soldiers of the Visigothic expeditionary force around him were all inspired!

In this way, these people, singing the Marseillaise, kicking and marching, formed one phalanx after another, which did not seem too tight, and slaughtered the army of the Russian Gothic Empire.

While these infantry were advancing, the cavalry units deployed on both flanks of the army were also advancing slowly. At the same time, a group of light cavalry guns imitating the Russian Gothic Empire also followed the cavalry troops. On the other side of the infantry and cavalry arrays, the artillery positions, guarded by an elite infantry regiment, were also being set up intensely and heccily.

"The training was a little bit worse, but the morale was good. Weapons and equipment are also reasonable. If there is a real fight, our army will not take too much advantage. William thought so in his heart, looking at the enemy army slowly approaching on the opposite side.

"The other party's array...... Not bad. It looks like the commander on the opposite side is okay. At William's side, Freya commented.

"However, obviously seeing the power of our army's artillery, he still has to lead the army forward and come over desperately...... Isn't that a little too stupid?" On the other side, Charlumi asked, "What the hell does that guy think, why did he do this?" ”

"Why do you want to do that? who knows?" William chuckled, "or maybe the other party is a hopelessly stupid scumbag who thinks that with the tens of thousands of barely passable troops under his command, he can compete with me." Or maybe the opponent has some hole cards that haven't been used yet......"

"If the former is really possible, then we can easily win. But...... The Visigothic Republic is indeed a nondescript grass-roots country, but even so, they have experienced a lot of wars. It is impossible to really choose an idiot to preside over the affairs of the expeditionary force. ”

"In other words, is there any trap, or rather, ambush, or something?"

"It doesn't matter what it is. William concluded: "I have enough troops under my command and enough preparation. The expeditionary forces of the Russian Gothic Empire had enough experience in warfare that they would never collapse even if they were to encounter an ambush, or something like that.

In any case, I have enough room to spare......"

He thought so to himself, and at the same time maintained full confidence, and watched as the enemy's troops slowly advanced.

In front of a mixed unit of infantry, cavalry, artillery. Several cavalry regiments of the Russian Gothic Empire did not dare to attack the opponent's position like the Mamluks before.

After a few whistles, the four cavalry regiments turned their horses around as fast as they could, and then returned, engaging the infantry and artillery units in their positions.

"The opponent's strength is more than 50,000, and the army we crossed the river only has two legions, about 30,000. In terms of numbers, our army is slightly inferior, but our army has naval artillery support, and in addition, it is also stronger than the other side in terms of quality and weaponry. At the same time, it is also in a defensive posture. In this way, the opponent will not be able to win at all. ”

At the same time that William was thinking so, the opponent's artillery position had been set up.

Unlike the Russian Gothic Empire's artillery, which was massively equipped with flowering shells, most of the opponent's artillery was still relatively old solid shells.

On this alone, the Russian Gothic Empire firmly held the upper hand - and what happened next surprised William.

"How dare you really attack?!"

Seeing the infantry and cavalry units on the opposite side, under the cover of artillery, charging towards his own position, William was a little surprised in his heart. My eyes widened a little.

Slightly didn't get first.

Originally, I thought that the other party had some conspiracy, but I didn't expect that the other party would really be stupid to attack his own position!

Looking at the opposing company, thousands of soldiers launched a cluster charge. and then was bombarded by his own artillery, hunters, and three-stage shooting. William couldn't help but sigh -

In the end, the morale was not the same - although in the course of the attack, there were already heavy casualties, but the other side endured these casualties, rushed to the front of the defense line of the Russian Gothic Empire, and then engaged in some hand-to-hand combat with the army of the Russian Gothic Empire. Some of the soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force were somewhat lost.

Of course, such an attack like adding wood to the firewood would not be able to shake the defense line of the expeditionary force at all. There is no other use than to increase casualties.

"The artillery is inferior to ours, the guns are inferior to ours, and at the same time there are not many grenades. Although the cavalry units are a bit threatening, our army also has enough cavalry units. For the cavalry that the enemy is rushing over, it is enough to use the cavalry to counter-charge.

The opposing cavalry had been weakened by a variety of firearms before the attack, and was no match for our cavalry at all. So...... It's a little boring. ”

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the battle between the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force and the Visigothic Republic Expeditionary Force was very fierce, even tragic. But in William's view, this is not the case, that is...... That's just it.

Leave aside the flesh and blood, leave the corpses, violent explosions and loud slogans. Putting aside these appearances, whether it is the command of the front-line commander of one's own side or the commander on the other side, it is decent, or even to put it mildly, it is lackluster.

The two sides are engaged in a war that is almost like a textbook standard. Use the flesh and blood and sacrifice of soldiers on both sides in exchange for weakening the other and then win.

Of course, to put it another way, it is a simple and unpretentious war between the two sides. Both sides have shown their true quality.

However.

"If that's the case, then our army will win. William thought to himself.

It took about five to seven enemy soldiers to die in exchange for one soldier of the Russian Gothic Empire. It is even said that the exchange ratio can be a little higher.

In other words, the army of the Russian Gothic Empire, with a maximum loss of 10,000, can annihilate the other side.

Of course, this number and exchange ratio are not the most accurate. It is impossible for the other party to stupidly confess the 50,000 army in one breath.

However, the victory of the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force was taken for granted.

"So, if that's all it takes, it's too boring. If the commander of the other side is really just such a mediocre person, or rather, such an idiot, then it will be too boring. ”

At the same time, just as William sighed: "It's boring, it's boring", this war is really boring", and the heart of General Leopold on the opposite side was dripping blood.

"This is, the Russian Gothic Empire? This is the world's largest army?"

Seeing that their own troops were advancing one after another, they hit their heads and bled on the opposite defensive line, and suffered casualties. The commander couldn't even help it, and wanted to cry a little bit.

It's all his people who died! But it's all his descendants. It took him an unknown amount of time and effort to grasp this expeditionary force up and down and dye it with his own colors.

This is the capital of his future to continue to climb up in the Visigothic Republic! He has high hopes for them! Those elite veterans, those officers, and his henchmen, that is his capital!

"I didn't expect this war to be so tragic...... Sure enough, if it is a tough one, our army is not an opponent of the enemy at all...... Damn, if I had known, I would have been more cautious......"

Thinking this in his heart, Leopold felt very regretful.

But.

"But no matter what, since I've come to this point, I must grit my teeth and persevere!" he secretly felt ruthless in his heart...... (To be continued.) )
