The gates of Lisan City were opened, and the troops of the Kaida family poured out one by one, rushing across the drawbridge one after another to join the counterattack. In the staff headquarters on the city wall, Carlos was also shouting loudly, and orders were written in the hands of the staff officers, and the winged heralds flew back and forth in the sky, and they had to pay attention to avoid the herald magic balls that kept flying into the sky.

This is the army of the Al Qeda family, this is the army of the Dark Province - even if Supreme Commander Cohen is not in his command right now, the entire army can fight normally.

Zuo Xiang's army gradually stabilized, and several commanders stabilized the formation of the central army by massacring a large number of their own retreating soldiers, and the rear army was rearranged and replenished to the battle line.

The rebels had elite legions under the city, and they had an advantage in numbers. Because of the restrictions of the city gate, there are not many Kaida family troops rushing out of the city gate now, and it is not enough to form a deadly attack posture.

The two battlefields on the left and right sides of Lisan City have only been fighting for a short time, and the left and right armies on the side of the Kaida family are fighting with their respective rebel opponents, and they can't divide their troops to help for a while.

In the chaos of the battlefield, the rebel commander saw a glimmer of life - the number of Kaida family troops outside the protection of the bow and arrow was small, and he could take this opportunity to break the Kaida army that rushed out of the city in front and back! As long as his side blocked the city gate, it was not certain who would win and who would lose.

At the sound of the order, the archers of the rebel rear team fired several rounds of dense feathered arrows, and then transferred twelve regiments of fresh troops, each of the four regiments as one road, divided into three ways and counterattacked back at the same time, which was bound to divide and surround the Kaida family's troops out of the city.

The army of the Al Qeda family, under the command of the General Staff, immediately changed tactics. The cavalry in front rushed to the left and to the right in a fierce way. Trying to create chaos on the front. Let the rebel counter-shock force be blocked by the scattered own troops, and the infantry units that lagged behind were firmly entrenched, blocking the sporadic rebel attacks, waiting for the follow-up troops to follow.

You come and go, and the sound of killing shakes the sky.

The troops on both sides were twisted together, and the entire front was shattered by repeated onslaughts, including a large scene of thousands of people and a small battle of dozens of people...... But the rebels, after all, were outnumbered and gradually took the initiative.

Cohen's car was slowly pushing towards the wall. Several wingmen carefully tied Cohen and Fichette to stretchers and transported them back to the city wall by air, so that the biggest stone in Carlos's mind could be put down and he could concentrate all his attention on the battle.

"The gate is too narrow, and the archers go down from the walls," shouted Carlos, "and the archers of the city go up to the walls to take over!"

Hundreds of long ropes were thrown from the walls, and the archers hung their warbows over their shoulders and slid down them. The archers below the walls received orders to rush up the walls and take cover.

With the direct support of thousands of elven archery archers. The battle ahead was immediately improving, and the archers only fired three volleys to disarray the rebels in one direction of the counterattack. Adjusting the direction again, there were three rounds of random arrows. Shoot the rebels in the other direction of the counterattack on their backs.

The troops, who had just come out of the city, seized the rare opportunity and lined up under the cover of the archers, and all eight regiments of 20,000 men came out—all the troops that Carlos could mobilize.

Looking at the battle situation in front of him, and silently calculating in his heart again, Carlos took a deep breath, and then spit out two words in his mouth: "Attack!"

"Kill ......!"

The Guards of the Dark Province, which belonged directly to Cohen, faced the elites of the armies of the various divine realms and began their first official battle with the Great Legion of the Field, which was a heavy test for all the warriors and all the officers.

Eight guards regiments formed two offensive arrows, 10,000 men each, and the width of the attack surface remained at about a thousand arms. The infantry that had previously left the city dragged back to protect the archers, and the light cavalry gradually gathered on the flanks, moving back and forth with their own speed, supporting the hot spots on the front with bows and arrows.

In the headquarters of the two armies, all the officers who were okay for the time being were nervously observing the battle situation.

The rebel commander made a desperate gamble and threw all the troops that could be transferred into battle, in addition to the heavy frontal attack, he also divided two troops to raid the flank, and the archers in the rebel rear team kept shooting.

The feathered arrows were no threat to Cohen's pikemen, and the large shield in their hands was more than enough to withstand the scattered attacks.

In the center of the battlefield, the pikemen at the front of both sides collided together. As soon as the battle began, a black whirring thing flew behind the pikemen of the Guards, and the rebels did not recover from thousands of throwing axes at the front, and they were hit by a second round of throwing axes...... Suddenly, thousands of rebel soldiers stained the earth with blood, and the front line was filled with the sound of ghosts crying and wolves.

In positional warfare, the most important thing is the formation, and if the formation of the first line is crossed, don't say anything. And how could the remaining soldiers of the rebel line withstand the fierce onslaught? they had already been shot by the crossbowmen who walked behind the pikemen.

As soon as the rebels' pikemen collapsed, the axemen behind them couldn't get close to the guards at all—the guards were lined up with a dense array of spear heads, and it was a joke that the axemen could rush through with the short weapons in their hands.

The Guards stepped over the corpses of the rebel soldiers with firm steps, advancing at a consistent pace and began to attack the second line of the rebel defense. This pace is not hurried, but it is unstoppable.

"Archers keep up, keep up with the direction of the main attack!" Carlos ordered: "Shoot directly at the enemy's front-line troops, and thin the enemy's defensive surface!"

When the Guards archers began to move, the rebels behind the flanks were also in place, but under the sniper of the Guards light cavalry, the two rebels who came for the surprise attack became the targets of the attack. The light cavalry shot arrows fiercely, and batches of feathered arrows went quickly, accurately, and evenly, and the rebels themselves suffered heavy casualties before they could touch the side of the guards......

When the battle line was stalemate, the rebel generals were red-eyed, and the only magician brigade forced up, facing the battle between the two sides was a large fireball, although the protection of the guards with a magic barrier did not suffer much losses, but the burning fire still slightly blocked the pace of the guards' attack.

There was a lot of noise in the rebel headquarters, the commander was banging on the table and scolding his mother, and the orders were mixed in with a lot of foul language. The left phase, who had been staying here, was pale. It seems that he has not recovered from the blow of "losing his majesty". It was the most important card in his hand.

"Your Excellency. We should have left. Knowing that the battle situation was irreparable, the Bright Knight, who was close to protecting the left minister, spoke: "There is no need to watch this battle anymore. ”

"No, I'm not leaving...... I'm going to kill Cohen. Kaida, the bastard......" Zuo Xiang raised his head weakly, his eyes wandering: "I haven't failed, I haven't failed...... I will not return to the Holy Capital. ”

"My mission is to bring you back to the Holy Capital, and victory or defeat is not something I should care about. The Knight of Light pursed his lips: "Are you leaving?"

"I—I don't ......"

Before Zuo Xiang could finish speaking, the Light Knight slapped him on the neck, and then lifted the collar and led the unconscious Zuo Xiang out of the headquarters, followed by a dozen or so Light Knights - the officers of the command were stunned. But no one dared to stop him.

As a force escorted Zuo Xiang away, the Wingmen of the Kaida family appeared over the battlefield in droves, fighting with heavy casualties to wipe out the rebel mage brigade before recovering the two flanks covering the attacking force.

Seeing that a large number of rebels had gathered in front of the attacking troops, the command gave an order, and the attacking troops changed their formation. The troops behind the two attack arrows stepped forward in turn to fill their positions, keeping parallel to the original attack surface, which was expanded to three times its original size.

After adjusting the formation, the troops on the original attack surface maintained a slow advance, while the new forces on both flanks accelerated the assault. Vaguely forming a state of encirclement of the main force of the rebels.

"It's kind of like a winged array, and it's not ...... Not Cohen. Isn't Al Kaida good at field warfare?" The commander began to plan for himself in his heart.

"Report ......" a herald rushed into the headquarters: "Sir, there is news from the left and right armies of our army, they can no longer hold on, and some troops have begun to retreat. ”

As soon as the commanders heard the news, their hearts, which were already half cold, were completely cold.

"The Chinese army is almost finished," said a commander, looking at the battle line in the distance, "the morale of our army is exhausted, and a large number of soldiers have fled from the battle line...... Retreat! If you don't retreat, you won't even have a bit of scum left. ”

"But ......"

"But what? It's not a war of gods and demons, it's just a civil war in Spia. Let's just join in the fun, do we really want to take our lives?" someone retorted: "Lu Man has run away, my soldiers can't die here in vain!"

"Didn't the previous soldiers die in vain?" Zuo Xiang's cronies objected: "You have to do things after you collect the money! Don't we still have the last reserves?"

"How about collecting the money, if you collect the money, you have to die? Besides, I didn't collect the money, and I don't like to tell your master to go! How can we fight the equipment and the equipment of the other army, how can we fight? If you throw the reserves up, you can win? You fucking ramble again, look at ......."

"What are you fighting for!" The highest-ranking general stood up: "Pass my order, withdraw!"

The general trend was the same, and the cronies of the left prime minister did not dare to speak again, and acquiesced in the decisions of several commanders.

But the argument that the defeated army will retreat is simply a rout.

The Chinese army, who had left behind their lives, fought for their lives on the front, and under the cover of the cavalry of the rear army, the rebel commanders mounted their horses and ran. As soon as the cavalry ran, the infantry and archers followed.

At first, there was a bit of a sequence, but not far away was the only trade route, how wide could the trade route be? In order to run faster, the various troops rushed to and fro, and the soldiers fought back and forth, and the scene was chaotic......

Everyone is running for their lives, who cares about whom?

It was a difficult rout, in which the emaciated soldiers were squeezed off the road and struggled through the uneven grass on both sides of the trade road, almost one step at a time, three steps at a time, and a road of rout with the sound of wailing, with the desperate wails of the wounded and logistical units abandoned on the roadside, and it was a blood-stained rout, with many of the incompetent soldiers falling to the ground and being trampled to death by their ruthless companions......

In fact, this situation is not a big deal now, and the scattered armies that have been defeated by the left and right armies also have to flee from this trade route, and when they meet, it is called the real excitement.

There were discarded weapons and equipment everywhere, and the soldiers threw away their armor in order to lighten their burdens, and the truckloads were not taken care of at all...... In order to escape, no one even wants to waste time to set fires.

The collapse set off a chain reaction, and the chaos spread.

"Report sir. The rear of the enemy army began to rout!"

"Got it. Don't bother with the fleeing rebels. Carlos replied lightly: "Steady, steady." Concentrate your forces first to defeat the rebels under the city. ”

"But such a good opportunity, why don't we do something?" a colonel officer next to him asked puzzledly, "Aren't we going to pursue it?"

"Go do your thing!" Carlos glanced at the officer, "In this command, it's not your turn to make decisions for me." ”

The colonel retorted, "Why don't you pursue it!" If it were Chief Cohen, he would have ordered the pursuit......

"Arrest," Carlos said, pointing to the Colonel and the guards, "send the Judge Advocate General's Office, fifty sticks!"

The order was resolutely carried out, and although the colonel was very unconvinced, he did not dare to disobey the military order, so several soldiers came up and tied himself.

In fact. The chaotic scene of the rebels has long been seen by Carlos on the city wall, and if Cohen or Helter were to take command, they would definitely attack at the first opportunity. Needless to say, Halter's offensive tendencies are self-evident, and Cohen's composure is more about the preparation and planning before the battle, once the battle starts, he is no different from Hylt who is shouting for attack......

But Carlos's conducting style is different from the others, he is truly calm, calm from beginning to end. Especially at a critical moment like this, he would rather give up some possible results than ensure victory for the city. It may seem a bit petty, but for Carlos. Only what you eat in your mouth can be reassured.

The priority is to clean up the rebels who are still resisting, as for those who have fled. You can let them run for a few hours until they run out of energy.

"The Wingman Scouts must master the rebels' escape routes. After thinking about it, Carlos gave the following order: "Tell the two armies on the left and right, on the premise that victory is fully guaranteed, let the cavalry units change horses and rest a little." ”

"Yes. ”

"Order the two corps commanders not to pursue with the team. Carlos continued: "The men recruited in the city are ready to clean up the battlefield. ”

The mass shouting of killing under the city walls gradually subdued, and more and more of the rebel soldiers in front chose to surrender, but these kneeling soldiers were not treated mercifully, and they were all ground into pulp under the furious attack of the Guards.

Most of the rebel soldiers in the back chose to flee, which is what Carlos wanted them to do - killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000 themselves, which was too costly, but it would be much easier to annihilate the scattered enemy forces in the rout.

Finally, the battle under the city walls came to an end, and the left and right armies ended the battle one after another in a short time. It has only been four hours since the start of the war.

"Report ......" an officer ran close to Carlos: "The Second Corps has prepared three cavalry regiments for pursuit, and the corps commander Helter has asked to lead the pursuit of the rebels. ”

"The application to lead the team will not be approved. Carlos said in a resolute tone: "The pursuing force of the Second Army may depart, and the commander of the Helt Corps will be on standby at the Governor's Palace as soon as he has taken care of the military affairs! ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go down town. ”

"Sir, aren't you going back to the Governor's Mansion first?" an officer asked in a low voice, "...... Chief Cohen?"

"At all times, military personnel should put their duties first. As he walked, Carlos said, "Personal feelings come second." ”

The officer agreed, and followed Carlos down the wall.

For four hours, the two armies fought a real melee here. The battlefield beneath the walls was in shambles, the ground was scorched black by the magic flames, the ground was littered with broken weapons, black bloodstains, and the corpses that were strewn all over the place had no time to be dragged to one place.

For the witch doctors, the witch doctors are leading their deputies to rescue their wounded, and for these witch doctors, just saving people does not make them feel sincerely happy, and it is their original intention to fight for better treatment for themselves with skilled and effective medical skills...... But no matter what, under their various strange treatment methods, as long as they are their own soldiers who do not breathe, they can generally be temporarily stabilized and injured.

As for the wounded rebels who have no breath, it would be nice not to be used as first-aid "medicine."

The soldiers of the Judge Advocate General's Department followed the witch doctor, and they usually dragged a rebel soldier who was still angry, and as soon as the witch doctor opened his mouth, he had to have ears and noses......

The long stretcher team entered and exited the battlefield, and under the guidance of the soldiers, the people who carried the stretchers tore off the corners of their clothes and covered their mouths and noses to alleviate the disgusting smell of blood, but when the people had seen such a tragic scene, most of them were so frightened that their legs and stomachs trembled, and they stood in the mutilated corpses one by one, barely able to open their legs.

Winning is inexplicable, losing is inexplicable......

Walking to the place where the battle was at its highest, Carlos accidentally stepped into the dirt with one foot, and the black dirt was soaked with blood and had turned into the thin mud of the swamp...... Carlos was sick and couldn't stay here any longer.

"Do your best to rescue your own wounded and count the enemy's supplies. Carlos said to the adjutant, "Then tell the Judge Advocate General's Office that we don't need prisoners below the rank of colonel." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The adjutant gave a military salute, stomped his feet, and his military shoes fell into the black-red mud with a "chirp" ...... - (to be continued......
