Chapter 1016: The Battle of Prisca (2, Hard Battle, Six Thousand Monthly Tickets)

On September 11, at noon, it had been raining for several days, but it suddenly stopped. But the weather did not improve at all, on the contrary, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, obscuring the whole sky.

It was gloomy and hung low in the sky, as if it could be touched by reaching out at the touch of an eye.

Although it should be the sunniest time of the day, the weather is getting more and more gloomy as time goes on. Gradually, almost like night.

A slaughter between heaven and earth.

The earth was silent, and even the most free-flowing winds stopped, like the silent world before the gods were born.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a second, maybe a century.

Suddenly, a dazzling light streaked across the entire sky, like the sword in the hand of the god of light in the battle of Prisca in Chapter 1016 (2, hard battle, 6,000 monthly tickets), piercing straight down from the high sky.

Immediately, a terrifying thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The lightning bolt was like an order for a general attack.

Before its light was completely extinguished on everyone's retina, countless lightning bolts were seen falling from the sky in a twisting and twisting way~!

It exploded in the heavens and the earth.

Charged clouds containing huge energy collided in the air, and dazzling lightning suddenly appeared in a hideous shape, leaving one burning mark after another in people's eyes.

In the next second, a fierce wind howled and came from afar.

Raindrops the size of soybeans, caught in the wind, fell towards the ground under the dark clouds.

There was a series of crackling sounds.

In front of the violent power of nature, some people fear, some tremble, some flee, but some dare to challenge.

In the midst of the storm, Lorraine stood straight on top of the high hill, letting himself be drenched in the rain, facing the fierce wind and rain, and the lightning and thunder above his head.

Suddenly, Lorraine seemed to be back to her youth, when she was full of spirit, ambitious, and dreamed of taking the whole world into her arms.

Even in the face of the most violent Chapter 1016 Battle of Prisca (2, hard battle, 6,000 monthly passes), he will shout fearlessly~!

A gust of wind blew, sending the scarlet cloak behind him high like a flag.

The rain rained heavily on his helmet, then slid down the edge, sliding down his face like a stream.

Lorraine looked through the rain in front of her and looked at the warriors beneath the hill.

Under the leadership of the officers, they had formed a phalanx of steel, holding the weapons in their hands tightly and motionless, letting the storm hit the armor, quietly waiting for orders, Lorraine's eyes slowly swept over the faces of those soldiers, only to see that all of them had resolute expressions and calm expressions. A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Despite the most violent storms in nature, these warriors stood proudly one by one. In this world, there are really few who can make them succumb.

He turned his head and looked across the side.

I saw that several neat phalanxes also appeared on the opposite ground, and one after another large flags were held high. In that rainstorm, it was still windy, hunting and fluttering.

One by one, the warriors stood silently and motionless.

The neat formation is like a knife and axe, without the slightest mess.

In the middle of the phalanx, from time to time, officers or heralds rushed by, making final preparations.

Under the big curtain behind the opposite position, a lonely tiny black dot could be faintly seen.

Although it was so far away that it was impossible to see clearly, at this time, a strange picture suddenly rose in Lorraine's heart.

The tiny black dot seemed to sense its gaze and looked in its direction.

The eyes of the two crossed the vast battlefield and collided violently.

Lorraine's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly: This is the first time I have found such a heavyweight opponent~!

But he couldn't help but sneer, and reached out and drew his long sword.

A dragon groan rang out.

Lorraine pulled out his long sword, raised it high to the sky, used all his strength, and shouted angrily: "For Ruman~!"

At the same time, a rumbling thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth.

But even the loud thunder could not drown out Lorraine's voice.

"For Ruman~!" the 20,000 soldiers raised their weapons to the sky and shouted in unison with Lorraine's voice.

At this moment, their blood is boiling, and their hearts are full of fighting spirit.

Opposite them was the enemy that they thought about day and night, the enemy who represented the shame of the Rumans, and was right now opposite them.

Defeat him~!

Get him~!

Kill him~!

Let everyone know that the pride of the Ruman people will never be trampled on by others.

Let all the powerful and evil people in the world retreat, and dare not arbitrarily oppress and humiliate the Ruman people.

Let all the Ruman people walk freely in the sun.

No matter when, no matter where, you can make all Ruman people proudly say their identity out loud~!

Let them be proud to be a member of this country~!

Despite the fact that the empire has always claimed to the outside world. The great Ruman people have always been civilized and fraternal,

The merciful, the magnanimous, the virtuous. If you hit the left cheek, you will bring the right cheek over.

But everyone knows that the Rumans are out-and-out pups.

They advocate justice, and they like blood for blood and eyes for eyes the most~!

His bones are full of pride, fierceness, selfishness and arrogance, and he will be rewarded.

Revenge is more important than life.

This is the pride of a nation that has stood as the number one power on the continent for a thousand years, and they can look down on all countries with pride, and regard their offense as a great shame.

and believed that only by sacrificing the heads and flesh of the enemy could their shame be washed away.

When they stand on the battlefield against the number one enemy of the Ruman Empire, Amor Haddou, the frenzy of revenge causes them to lose their cool and become fanatical and bloodthirsty.

The cold autumn rain poured on them, but it could not extinguish the fire in their hearts.

On the contrary, a layer of white mist even appeared around their bodies, as if the rain had been evaporated by their high will to fight.

Ruman's soldiers are eager to use their weapons to wash away their twenty years of shame.

For every soldier who participates in the war, it is a supreme honor to be able to slash the enemies of the empire.

Lorraine swung his long sword vigorously and shouted: "Raise the military flag and prepare for battle~!"

The military flag, which had been hidden for a long time, was held high, and the flag was soaked with rain at the first moment of unfurling, and it was hunting and dancing wildly in the wind and rain.

The most striking thing is the large red eagle banner representing the Ruman Legion, and at the top of the flagpole stands a golden eagle with its wings outstretched.

Then there is the blue coalition flag representing the peacekeeping force command, and the golden lion flag representing the Almohad Empire.

Among the flags of Rulin, there is even an iron eagle banner of the Flying Eagle Group Security Army, which represents the royal private power.

That's what they're really capable of. In order to confuse the enemy and maximize the combat power.

With the exception of a part of the new army, the rest were basically all from the Ruman Legion.

Only the Jumans would obey Lorraine's command absolutely without the slightest discount. They are the only ones who hate General Haddou to the core, and dare to fight hard with the enemy.

The enemy in the distance saw the dense flags on this side and there was a slight commotion, but then a burst of enthusiastic shouts.

They originally thought that the opposite side was just a rabble of the New Army, and there was not much oil and water. And now, it seems, it is a big fish.

How can this not make them ecstatic?

With a low trumpet sounding.

The soldiers erupted in fanatical shouts.

The dense phalanx of soldiers of the Southern Army, with rain on their heads and muddy water on their feet, came towards the camp of the coalition army.

In the hazy heavy rain, only vague black shadows could be seen in the opposite phalanx, and it was impossible to tell how many soldiers the enemy had sent.

The Ruman and Almohad soldiers held fast to the fortifications at the edge of the camp, their weapons clenched in their hands, and they tried to keep their eyes open in the rain as they could stare at the approaching enemy on the opposite side.

At such a moment, the arrows and artillery lost their role, and the two sides competed with the strength of the legion formed by the strength of each soldier.

One mile, half a mile, three hundred feet, one hundred feet......

Until a figure could be seen from the opposite array, the soldiers of the Southern Army shouted at the same time, "Kill~!"

Amid the shouts, they raised their weapons and rushed to the coalition positions.

They fell in the slippery muddy water, but quickly got up again, fell again, and still stood up with their weapons on the ground, rolling and crawling up the high slope.

The coalition soldiers guarding the top of the slope also let out a roar of rage.

The shieldbearer in the front row raised his huge tower shield high, bowed down, and his front leg bowed slightly, and his hind foot plunged deep into the muddy water. Ready for the collision.

The spearmen in the second row lay their spears flat without saying a word, and the sharp tips of their spears were aimed at the small gap in the middle of the shield.

By this time the enemy had already rushed to the front with a shout.

Immediately after, **, the weapon and the shield collided together, making a series of dull sounds.

Under their vigorous collision, the originally neat front suddenly became distorted.

At this time, the Ruman officer next to him roared loudly: Thorn~!

The spearmen shouted, stabbing their spears forward. The spear pierced through the thin clothes and plunged deep into the **.

After pulling it outward, the blood and flesh splashed out at the same time, and then splashed into the muddy water, and the blood that spurted out of the wound flowed down with the rain, and was trampled into the mud by the soldiers who rushed after......

Still, more and more soldiers of the Southern Army poured in. The Ruman front was forced back step by step.

But the soldiers of the Southern Army who climbed the mud slope did not wait to stand firmly, and then they saw the shield on the opposite side open. Countless black shadows came out from behind.

They were greeted by heavily armored heavy infantry.

The heavy infantry composed of orcs swung their two-handed swords, or heavy weapons such as war hammers and battle axes, and slashed the soldiers of the Southern Army in front of them in two pieces or simply smashed them open.

There were also soldiers of the Southern Army who struggled to block their weapons, rushed up to hold the heavy infantry on the front line, and pulled and rolled down the dirt slope with them.

Before this hapless heavy infantry could stand up, he was instantly overwhelmed by the soldiers of the Southern Army, and only the terrible screams of the figures could be heard.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of corpses was laid on the coalition front.

The follow-up soldiers of the Southern Army simply stepped on the corpses, instead of the slippery road, and desperately attacked the defenders above.

Lorraine calmly observed the fierce battlefield, the cold wind and the showers, the others had already been frozen and began to shiver, but Lorraine did not feel the slightest cold.

The heavy rain became a barrier, blocking the view of both sides, and Lorraine's grasp of the battle line could only be through the guò front liaison.

Judging from the reported news, the current situation on the two fronts is stable, and Haddou did not do his best, and pressed all his forces to attack as soon as he came up.

On the contrary, the current strength of the Southern Army participating in the war is the same as that of the coalition army, probably about 30,000.

The front line was tense, but there was no danger.

Although the rebels in the north of the camp attacked fiercely, their equipment and suzhì were not as good as Almohad's new army, and the new army soldiers were still holding on.

What's more, Lorraine sent the Almohad Forbidden Army, patrolling the battle lines, ready to plug leaks at any time.

On the southern front was Haddou's army, which was much better than the Almohad army in terms of equipment and soldiers.

Lorraine did not dare to relax a little against Haddou, Haddou's men were veterans of many years of war, the officers were experienced, the morale of the soldiers was high, and the new Almohads army had always won more with less. Not much inferior to the regular army of Ruman.

Lorraine sent the elite Juman Legion to fight them, and they held the line with ease. And it was a brigade of the Knights Templar who was sent to plug the leak.

The Knights Templar are arguably one of the most formidable forces on the continent, at the same level as the Royal Praetorian Guard of the Ruman Empire.

Don't look at the fact that this time it is only a thousand-strong brigade, even if Empress Isabella is the cousin of Pope Chille, it is already a big face for the Almohads.

As long as they use it well, they can top two legions.

Plugging leaks was a breeze for the Templars.

In the current situation, the two sides are evenly matched, and the losses of the Southern Army are a little greater.

Behind Lorraine stood a black-clad officer of the Security Army, wearing the silver-black uniform of the captain of the Security Military Region, with a gloomy face and a cold expression.

The other officers behind Lorraine vaguely avoided the man. This guy usually doesn't say a word, it's hard to get along with, and it's very uncomfortable to look at people.

However, looking at the people around him who followed closely behind Lorraine, it was clear that this usually taciturn man in black was Lorraine's cronies.

You know, on the other side of Lorraine is the heart of the lord, Miss Vera.

The officer of the security army bowed his head to Lorraine's side and whispered, "My lord, do you want the brothers to prepare?" ”

Lorraine shook her head and said, "It's too early, Hal. Haddou has no intention of fighting us in a decisive battle, and he is only relying on the superiority of our forces to drain our body and morale. ”

Har nodded sharply and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Then he stood back and said nothing.

At this time, the horn of withdrawal suddenly sounded on the opposite side, and the Southern Army, which had fought for nearly an hour and had not heard anything, retreated like a tide.

Hassel hesitated and asked, "My lord, do you want to organize a counteroffensive?" ”

Lorraine thought about it, then waved his hand and said, "No need, tell the soldiers to save the body."

And then there was the big war. ”

Watching the enemy retreat, the coalition soldiers cheered at first, but before they could rejoice, a cold wind blew, and then they felt the coldness of the rain.

But before they could collect their troops and return to the camp, the hurried drums sounded again.

After changing a group of people, the Southern Army rushed up again.

At this time, some coalition soldiers were already tired from the fierce battle, and their hands and feet were shaking.

Lorraine sighed, Haddou's trick was very good, but it worked.

He used the rain and numbers to neutralize all his advantages, but he used his superiority in strength and geography to force himself to fight a war of attrition with him on his territory.

Every time Haddou sent a force equal to his own, Lorraine himself could only cope with it with his whole army.

The other half of Haddou's troops can rest, especially Prisca City, which is in Haddou's hands, and his supplies are much more than his own.

If nothing else, it will only take two days for the coalition forces to be exhausted from non-stop operations in the cold rain.

Then Haddou's whole army presses up, and his side should collapse.

Lorraine smiled, thinking that in that case, she would probably force her way out under the cover of the Forbidden Army and the Templar Order.

The 40,000 troops of the coalition army are all accounted for here.

After the sky was completely dark, the Southern Army collected its troops and returned to the camp.

Fighting in the rain made the officers and men more tired than usual, especially when the cold and excessive force led to a large number of sick soldiers that night.

Even Hassell was sneezing incessantly because of the rain.

Early the next morning, the weather still did not clear, and the rain continued.

Even Hassel lamented that it is difficult to appear on such a continuous rainy day even in the rainy season, how did they meet it this time.

Hearing Hassel's words, a trace of gloom passed through Lorraine's heart, Hassel was right, this situation is too abnormal, and abnormality is a demon.

Just after breakfast, Haddou attacked again.

The combat effectiveness of the coalition forces is obviously not as good as yesterday, not only because of the large number of sick people, but also because the number of soldiers sent to the battlefield is smaller, and the soldiers' bodies have not fully recovered.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, more and more gaps appeared in the crotch line, and the Southern Army repeatedly broke through the coalition formation, and the Janitarian Army and the Knights Templar who were in charge of blocking the gap ran back and forth, exhausted.

Fortunately, the enemy quickly retreated again after leaving behind a corpse.

After the enemy retreated, Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, he now somewhat understood the thoughts of those generals who were often defeated, and they were struggling to support themselves in an unfavorable situation, and they could only passively accept the recruits but could not use a way to deal with them, which really put a lot of pressure on the generals who led the army.

It was the first time in his life that Lord Lorraine was pressed and beaten like this, which made Lorraine feel extremely depressed.

After the battle, Lorraine left his command position and walked to the front line to patrol the camp.

The front line was littered with the traces of the aftermath of the battle, the corpses of the dead soldiers, the broken limbs, and the severed weapons messed up in the mud.

The ground was an indescribable purple mud that made people want to vomit.

But many of the demobilized soldiers rested on the mud stained with minced flesh and blood.

Lorraine sighed in her heart: this is just the beginning. It seems that Haddou really has his own merits.

This battle is hard enough~!

Seeing Lorraine coming, several soldiers of the Ruman Legion in front of him struggled with their weapons and tried to get up and salute.

Lorraine stepped up and grabbed their arms and pulled them up one by one, but stopped them from saluting and said, "Change places and get some rest." The brethren have worked hard. ”

Although the faces of the soldiers were a little pale because of the exhaustion and cold, they still shouted: "For the Empire~!"

During the battle, all the soldiers could see that under the banner of the Ruman Empire and the peacekeepers, their commander, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lorraine, like all the soldiers, had a calm command with a heavy rain on his head.

Lorraine's sharing of weal and woe with the soldiers deeply touched these ordinary soldiers, and it was indeed a lucky thing for the soldiers to have such a general.

"For the Empire~!" Lorraine raised his hand and saluted, then looked at the situation of those soldiers, and found that it was not strict, so he immediately nodded and said, "Find a clean place and rest well." Only when the body is restored can the fight continue. ”

"Yes, sir. Several soldiers said yes and helped each other to slowly leave.

The priests quickly rescued the wounded, and the men brought buckets of hot soup to the soldiers to recover.

The bodies of the fallen coalition soldiers were removed from the ground and moved into tents in the camp, covered with white cloth.

After the inspection, Lorraine knew that next time it would not be so easy, the casualties were nearly half higher than yesterday, and it seemed that the enemy could not wait.

Without waiting for Lorraine to catch his breath, Haddou quickly launched a fourth attack, and by this time the entire army was already approaching its limit.

Even the madmen of the Knights Templar are starting to get tired of it.

Some of the new armies still collapsed, and if it weren't for their loyalty to the Almohads and Empress Isabella, they might have stopped fighting long ago.

These two days of fighting were the hardest battles they had encountered in their short military experience, and these soldiers, who had only served for one year, had reached their limits, both physically and psychologically.

Even the Ruman Legion was compressed and kept retreating.

Lorraine immediately ordered a retreat to the second line of defense, ceding the outskirts of the camp to the enemy.

The second line of defense was built according to the topography of the camp, consisting of carts and wood to form a one-man high defensive wall.

Fill in the gaps between the vehicles and bury sharpened stakes outward, and it will take a lot of effort for the enemy to take them down.

At the center of the second line of defense was the Coalition Headquarters, with its two flags, where Lorraine could already watch the battle between the Coalition soldiers and the Confederate Army.

Kankan stabilized its position in the second line of defense, and the Southern Army withdrew again.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and even the drums and trumpets of the Dying Fang Army stopped.

The eerie silence weighed heavily on the hearts of the coalition soldiers, accustomed to slashing and slashing.

From Lorraine to the soldiers, everyone knows that Haddou's is coming soon!!
