Chapter 19: The Last Card

Since Abidius had ordered the charge of the whole army in a desperate manner, by the time he realized that something was wrong, all four of his legions had already suffered a heavy blow.

In particular, the two cavalry legions, due to the blows of the teammates charging in the front, kept falling on the way, and finally formed a messy ground paved with men and horses, so that the cavalry behind could no longer increase the speed of their horses, and the entire legion became a bloated dough, and could not do anything other than continue to be hit......

"Whoosh" is full of the sound of crossbow machines firing and crossbow arrows entering the flesh, which seem to gradually converge into the gorgeous background music of the Grim Reaper as he harvests life!

It takes nearly twenty years for a person to go from birth to adulthood and then to be trained into a killing machine in the army, and it only takes a few seconds for them to die!

The fragility of life is so evident at this moment.

And the murderer who caused all this, every soldier of the Elon Legion will not have a little mercy, because they know that if the other party is in the opposite situation with themselves, the other party will be the same.

War is all about death and death, and there is only victory and defeat, no matter how bloody and cruel the process is......

By the time Abidliu's heralds came to give the order to stop the attack and withdraw to their positions, most of his cavalry corps had already been killed and wounded, and many of the horsemen did not even have a chance to turn their horses and flee under the heavy blows.

The infantry also lost more than half, again because of the slow running......

Abiliu had a good view of the city, and when he saw his own legion suffer such a heavy blow, he couldn't continue his breath, and spat out a mouthful of old blood on his back.

The guards immediately held him up, but Abidiliu had no time to rest, and after exhaling two mouthfuls of turbid air, he ordered:

"Order the cavalry corps to withdraw from the range of the crossbowmen, harass the enemy around it, and the remaining infantry troops immediately withdraw from the battle and return to the city to drive the people to storm the enemy position!"

"But the morale of our army is now low, I'm afraid it ......"

"Go and pass my order first! Let my personal guards go with me! โ€

Abidius roared and persecuted his subordinates. Now the situation is urgent, and it is too late to elaborate.

Although he hadn't really seen the power of the crossbowmen, he judged that such a dense attack by the Elon Legion would not last long, even if his elite physical strength was abundant, but the arrow consumption would be very fast, so he decided to find someone else to consume the opponent's arrows......

Abidiliu didn't think he was a cruel man, but he couldn't care much more about it at such a critical juncture.

Again, war is your death, if you fail, then there is nothing, and the people in the city will not be grateful to you!

That's right, by this time, Abidio still hadn't given up on winning the victory.

He thinks that the number of shield arrays placed in front of the formation by Ai Long is not large, it is just an ornament, as long as his army can rush through it safely, he will definitely be able to penetrate this military formation, and those crossbowmen who do not have crossbow arrows are not waiting to be slaughtered?

There are probably more than 10,000 people in his current army, and there is still an advantage in numbers, but the morale is a little low.

At that time, as long as the cavalry can rush into the formation and kill Nironn himself, it will still be a great victory for himself!

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

On the other side of the battlefield, in the formation of the Guards.

When the commander Ai Long saw the enemy retreating, he did not order the pursuit, but let everyone rest on the spot, leaving only a few people to be vigilant against the enemy cavalry.

He could see that the other party still had the strength to fight, since he had his own big bait, wouldn't it be easy and happy to wait for the other party to continue to send it in place?

And there is one point that Abidius also misjudged, that is, the supply of the Ailong army is very sufficient.

This is also the difference between the Ngalani Guards, because each ordinary soldier has undergone a long period of physical training, so their weight-bearing ability and strength are outstanding.

In the past, each soldier could carry about 50 kilograms of various combat materials on foot, but now that the regiment is equipped with a large number of war horses, this number has increased again......

Therefore, the consumption of arrows that Abidius thought was not a big problem, unless the other party could have several times more men out of thin air.

The soldiers of the Guards Regiment rested on the spot when they were ordered to do so, and in the face of the mountain of corpses in front of them, they were not uncomfortable, their morale was very high, and they were even a little excited.

Many people are checking their equipment while resting, and veterans are like that, they don't need too many orders from their superiors, they know what to do when and when they do.

However, after resting for a while, Elon noticed that there were many unarmed people pouring out of the city of Reqia.

After a while, behind them appeared the infantry regiment that Abidius had just withdrawn to the city, and they began to drive the people towards their own formation......

Aaron instantly understood Abidieu's intentions, and he scolded, this damn Abidius can't afford to play and make a fuss with the people!

But the situation was urgent, and Ngalon did not get entangled, and immediately ordered the whole army to defend.

However, after thinking for a while, Elon gave the order again, to push the entire army forward ten paces, the front row of heavily shielded spearmen to separate some gaps, and told them to wait until the people approached and shouted to bow down to save their lives, and the crossbowmen were ready to shoot at the Abidiliu soldiers who were driving behind.

Elon knew that even if he arranged it like this, it would be impossible to save all the people who went out of the city, and this would definitely cause a certain amount of chaos in the military formation, so that Abidius would have a chance to take advantage of it.

But if he doesn't do this, Ai Long will feel very uncomfortable in his heart, and he is also ready to deliberately show some flaws to Abi, otherwise how can the other party continue to take the bait?

This will inevitably increase the casualties of his own Guards Legion, but Aaron can't care about that......

As time passed, the situation on the battlefield was similar to what Ngalon had expected, and because it was difficult to distinguish Abidier's soldiers hiding in the crowd, Ngalani's army occasionally began to produce casualties under sneak attacks, and the army formation was also squeezed out of shape by the people......

However, most of the people were able to make their way through the formation to the open space in the rear, where Ngalon arranged for a small number of soldiers to maintain order and let them continue to climb the hill to leave room for the soldiers to fight.

Ngalon continued to send reserves to stabilize his position, while asking the crossbowmen to gradually reduce the frequency of their fire, and finally looked up at the head of the city of Rechia.

Abidiรณ, do you dare to bet?

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

Standing at the head of the city, Abidiliu saw that not only was the Elon army a little disorganized by the crowd, but also that the density and frequency of crossbowmen's strikes began to gradually decrease after he tried to increase the number of soldiers mixed in.

He decided to press the last hand, and there was still a chance to turn the tables, if he waited for Elrond's follow-up legion reinforcements, or replenished the crossbow arrows, he would never have a chance to turn over.

Even if you can escape, where can you flee without a foundation?

Eventually, Abiliu ordered all the remaining legions to charge after the people again!

And Ayrong, who saw the change in Abidiliu's army, also ordered again......
