Chapter 103 The victory is not very good
The Russian Gothic Empire and the Visigothic Empire fought each other around this several kilometer-long front. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info turned this place into a meat grinder with cold weapons-
Before this era, in the Middle Ages, it was common for 10 percent casualties to lead to the collapse of an army - although this was only "average" and no one could prove whether this was true or not. But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, in this case, the armies of both sides, who have already killed the red eye, have completely ignored everything.
They frantically fight their enemies with every weapon they can find.
In this case, gunpowder weapons no longer have much effect.
Although the Empire's artillery groups were still doing their best to send reinforcement fire to the Imperial army, in such a chaotic battlefield, these fires could no longer prevent the Visigoths from continuing to reinforce their allies.
As for the machine gun positions, the reason why the crowd was huddled together was no longer effective because of the loss of distance, the two sides engaged in close combat.
In this case, what can be useful in the war are the bayonets, the sapper shovels, and the spears used by the Visigoths on the opposite side, classical, which seem to have completely lagged behind the times of this era, the knives of the commanders. In addition to this, there were revolvers and grenades...... Although many times the soldiers who have gone crazy can hardly tell where their own people are and where the enemy is. But just throw it into the pile.
The situation now is that the empire has fewer troops and more enemy troops. So even if this kind of indiscriminate killing, in the end, more enemies will die.
The Emperor's banner was here, and the Emperor fought on the battlefield, together with another member of the royal family, Duchess Freya, like a humanoid meat grinder, desperately slashing and slashing hundreds, thousands, or even more enemy soldiers.
In such a situation, what reason do they have to spare their lives, and what reason why they should not fight desperately?
No, there is no reason. Then just go on and fight to the death! Even if all the armies are wiped out, it doesn't matter. As long as you can protect the emperor, as long as you can protect the great symbol of the empire. Your own life is meaningless compared to this greatness!
With this in mind, the elite Praetorian Guard soldiers of the Russian Gothic Empire rushed forward one after another, launched a charge, and perished with the enemy.
The prestige of the emperor deserves it. In addition, decades of patriotic education are also worth doing. They are dedicated to the greatest, most worthy of followers, and the greatest fighting for in the world!
It's touching and unsettling at the same time. Of course, it hurts to feel heartache.
As an ordinary person's heartache, after all, these guys listened to their own words, and at least half of the reason was to die for themselves.
And as a monarch, William also felt heartache - these were Goths of the best talents, in the prime of life, who were the basis for maintaining the stability of his empire and maintaining his authority.
In this case, these soldiers, even officers and generals, are going to die here with this dregs.
Thinking about this kind of thing makes people want to complain and want to kill. Yes, that's it, it's a huge waste of resources and talent. William thought so.
"We can't go on like this. William thought to himself.
It backfired, should it be said, because because of his appearance, the imperial army became even more entangled with the army of the Visigothic Republic. Originally, I wanted to reduce casualties and drive the enemy away, but I didn't expect things to go in the opposite direction.
If this continues, then these two legions of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, which carry glory, glory, and pricelessness, will be exhausted - this is simply it.
"We need to retreat. "While slaughtering a company of enemies and pushing back many more," William said to Freya.
"But if that's the case......"
"Must retreat! The losses are too great now - the Emperor will fight as the Queen's troops. Order the Janissaries to go back - tell them that this is the Emperor's order and that they have no right to refuse!"
After this, William shouted, "Don't worry, these enemies can't compare to me." This victory is definitely mine!Yes!"
“......”
Although, my heart is still very uneasy. But in the end, Freya gritted her teeth and made a choice.
"Yes, I see. ”
Obey the order, obey the emperor's orders, even Freya, who has a close relationship with the emperor, can't help but subconsciously carry it out.
Because it was Wilhelm von Hereford.
"Good. Let these Visigoths cheer for a moment. It's not a big deal anyway. William thought to himself.
"They are retreating, no, they are retreating! Pursuit, victory is within reach, the great era of Visigoths has come, and soon, the empire will be defeated by our men!"
Sensing this, Leopold smiled in ecstasy.
Victory is within reach.
However, the end of the world is just around the corner.
"Attack, attack, they are already retreating, their morale has been knocked out by us. The Empire will be our casualty - keep attacking, why can't we break through?!"
It is always said that retreat, fighting against the wind is a more testing thing for the army. In fact, it is.
As it is now, the most elite Praetorian Guard of the Russian Gothic Empire, trained to cover each other, alternately retreating or something, is a miracle in the eyes of the vast majority of generals and military strategists. And it's the kind of miracle that's hard to replicate.
There is probably no second force in the world that can do it better than them.
As for the demoralization or something. As long as they see the flag that is still fluttering, and think that Kaiser Wilhelm is serving them, these people will not have any morale problems.
And as for taking advantage of this opportunity to leave William behind, kill, or capture something...... No kidding. There is no more terrible weapon of war in this world than a paladin.
It's the same even if it's an ironclad ship or an ironclad train. War or something.
Victory, well, yes, victory. Although this victory is rather bitter.
More than 30,000 soldiers fought out in a single day. And those of the most valiant and bravest soldiers. The losses of the Janissaries of the Russian Gothic Empire were probably around five thousand to seven thousand.
Whether it's the Visigoths on the other side who are celebrating their victory, or the Russian Goths who are preparing their own defenses, the low-level guys who can't figure out the situation are all right. But the high-ranking generals felt the pain in their hearts.
Such a battle, if it comes back a few times, then the Visigoths can declare the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species.
On the other hand, the Russian Gothic Empire, of course, does not have this kind of trouble, but it still feels very painful. The elite troops that they had formed were senselessly wiped out by the enemy or something.
In addition, although William had destroyed all the machine guns when he gave the order to retreat before this, he still felt a little uneasy.
With the technology of the Visigoths, it may not be possible to make a qualified barrel, whether it is metallurgical or metal forging. However, if it is a Britonian, then it is ......
To the extent of breaking through positions, machine guns are even more important to tanks than artillery.
"In other words, if the Britons can really get this weapon and transform it, then the empire is likely to be in big trouble. But ......"
William was thinking about it, and at the same time, the enemy on the other side, the Archon Leopold, was also thinking about it.
Despite the victory, in addition to continuing to pretend to be confident in front of his subordinates, he will go crazy with anger when he is alone.
Damn, bastard. It really shouldn't be.
Or hopelessness.
He already understood one thing. In other words, he probably won't be able to achieve the ultimate strategic goal, which is to kill William.
There's no way to kill William on a battlefield like this, and there's no other way to kill that guy.
Send Assassins, or buy someone?
It's just so funny.
In the face of the Cheka organization of the Russian Gothic Empire, want to play agent warfare or something?
He is not being assassinated by the Empire now, because of the mercy of the Cheka organization. Because of William's orders, all activities related to assassination were delayed indefinitely. Because William believed that only a solid defeat of the opponent on the frontal battlefield could make the Visigoths despair.
In desperation, it was like Napoleon trapping Toussaint back then, and he had no eggs to say that he had ruined his reputation.
"There's no way, there's no way to kill a paladin in a war. Unless we have a Paladin of the same rank on our side. However, that is simply not possible. Bastard, bastard, in this case, even if I continue to win this continuous victory, there will be absolutely no way to achieve the final victory! Bastard, bastard, bastard, what should I do like this?!"
Pretty much because of this, for similar reasons. The terrifying combat power of the Russian Gothic Empire, as well as the terrifying strength displayed by William on the frontal battlefield, did not raise the morale of the victorious Visigothic army much.
No one, no one, no brave warrior could think about it. What if you want to face William?
There is nothing else to do but stand there and be cut by him, and then expect to lose a little physical strength or something, and he will lose his life.
Although it is said that dedicating oneself to the revolution is the greatest and most sacred thing in this world. But does it really make sense to die like this?
