Section 220 The Flower of Evil (7)
The great counterattack of Bofeng City took place in the early morning, and the militia of Bofeng City, who were determined to fight hard, poured out of the city like a tidal wave, and reluctantly followed the formation described by the Asturian instructor to launch a charge against the Imperial army.
Although it looks good, in fact, the field combat ability of the militia in Bofeng City is quite weak, although the formation has a look, but if the enemy is tenacious enough, with the help of mages and priests, fighting with great casualties to disrupt their formation, it may not be that there is no chance of turning defeat into victory.
But this opportunity Sid's legion is definitely not there, first of all, before the previous siege battle, the elite level of Sid's own army has suffered great casualties, although some garrisons were transferred from other cities to replenish, but these troops will definitely not be able to withstand the dense bullets, and they can still fight bravely after suffering very heavy casualties, they will only whimper and scatter like birds and beasts.
In addition, even the remaining troops of the Sixth Legion were weak, even if they were unwilling to give up the glory of the Deva Legion, but the lack of food for many days had affected their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, when the militia of Bofeng City rushed over, although the Imperial Army still met it, but soon after seeing the soldiers who rushed to the front fall like straws, those guard-level garrisons were first timid, and then began to flee.
Sid's Sixth Legion did not flee, and the heavy infantry and spearmen among them bravely met them with a desolate military song, and the few cavalrymen spurred their horses from both flanks in an attempt to outflank them.
However, even the people could not be fed, and the horse could imagine, so few of these cavalry could rush close.
On the contrary, the hoplites and spearmen who charged most frontally relied on the heavy armor on their bodies to go against the trend, and although there were constantly soldiers who were killed or fainted by bullets, the heavy armor on their bodies played a certain protective role.
But that's all, the physical fatigue caused by the food problem. It was difficult for them to take the last step, and in the end no one could get closer, and the nearest one was only fifteen meters away from the Bofeng City militia, and when he took the last step, he was not killed by a bullet, although the bullet pierced his armor. But it didn't kill him immediately, but the heavy armor made him fall, but he couldn't get up again.
In fact, after the war, many imperial soldiers were not dead, but they couldn't get up because of lack of strength, so they were mended to death, and the militia of Bofeng City had no intention of capturing them.
The last to rush forward was Sid himself, who, after the fall of the cavalry, realized that the tide was turning. He had wanted the mages and priests in the army to make a last-ditch effort with him.
But the mages and priests rejected him, and began to flee while they still had the strength to spare.
They had to think about themselves, not only food, but also the previous fierce battle, the mages had run out of potions that could replenish their magic power, but the supplies had not arrived, and the enemy was pouring out to counterattack, but their own soldiers could not play the role of a battlefield barrier because of lack of food.
Yes, the mages and priests can still kill and injure a lot of people in Bofeng City. But for this war, it only adds more casualties and hatred to the other side, but it cannot change the outcome; For themselves, it was a matter of death, and it was better to retreat while the soldiers of the Sixth Legion made their final charge of honor.
Sid launched a lonely charge in the last despair, he could have escaped, with the strength of his senior rank, he could still escape, and the militia of Bofeng City now only had a mechanical musket field level. And no encirclement was formed.
But Sid couldn't imagine what kind of eyes he would receive if he fled back, and how much shame his family would suffer.
It is better to die in battle than to do that.
During the battle, Sid, the commander of the Sixth Legion, braved the rain of bullets and rushed into the field formation of the militia of Bofeng City, killing 231 people in a row. In the end, the fighting spirit was exhausted, and he was beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground and died.
When the Apuro Empire learned that the former Dewa Legion led by Sid, the Sixth Legion of the Empire, had collapsed in front of Bofeng City, it was already the day before the General War.
Even if this news is terrifying enough to frustrate the Empire's original plans and bring unpredictable consequences, it is too late to pay attention to it at this time, because the Apuro Empire must go all out to deal with the aliens who have made an alliance with the Yaman Republic based in Phinean City, and this war is related to the rise and fall of the Apuro Empire.
The Great War broke out in the vicinity of Fenian City, after the aliens began to invade the surrounding cities with Fenian City, and the four legions of the Apuro Empire cut off the outstretched tentacles of the aliens one by one like sharp blades, and will directly attack Fenian City with the momentum of encirclement.
The two sides engaged in a bloody battle before the city of Fenian, which far outweighed the siege of Bofeng City.
On the side of the Apuro Empire, there are four elite legions as the core, and most of the garrisons in the country have been mobilized, and there are more than ten of these guard regiments responsible for defending local security and maintaining local order, which is very impressive just by looking at the number.
They launched an onslaught on the Aurora garrison of Phinean, and the Aurora defenses seemed a bit strange as they seemed to be divided into two factions, each commanding each other.
Naturally, the aborigines could not understand that this was due to the conflict between the north and the south of the Aurora.
The legendary powerhouses of both sides fought in the sky above the city of Fenian, and the Apuro Empire was also the elite of this battle, and the four legendary powerhouses of the kingdom plus the two cardinals of the Matthew Church appeared on the battlefield.
The side of the Aurora Kingdom did not show weakness, in addition to the only legendary mage in the south, Cecil Ruth and the Valkyrie Leona, there were also the legendary powerhouses of the Eastern Beast Alliance, the former patriarch of the Taggo clan, known as the Wild Fury, and the legendary warrior Herbert among the northern wealthy clans of Aurora came forward to fight.
With four enemies and six, the top powerhouses on both sides only fought a draw for a while, and Leona alone fought against the other two powerhouses without falling behind, and from time to time she could also influence and contain others, and the strength shown in this battle made the name of the Valkyrie resounding throughout the continent of Cologdo.
The battle between the legendary powerhouses was indistinguishable, but the Aurora people had the upper hand in the attack of the large army.
The reason is that the new army of the Aurora Southerners also uses a new type of weapon similar to that used by the militia of Bofeng City, although the Apuro Empire has known about the existence of the musket in advance, but the time is too short, and they have not found a good way to deal with this weapon for a while.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the Apuro Empire doesn't have the power to fight back. The mages in their legion, the carefully trained archery troops, and the priests provided by the Matthew Church all played a great role.
However, the significance of the emergence of muskets is that they can allow more ordinary soldiers who were originally cannon fodder to increase their lethality to an astonishing degree through training and discipline, and the cycle of combat power formation is much shorter.
The drastic reduction of the threshold for dimensional teleportation and the advent of muskets made it easier for the Aurora to conquer the Alternate Plane. Until these two conditions are met, if you compare them, the previous war against the Alien Plane was only equivalent to hunting, because the combat power that could be invested was limited (and there were also identity restrictions, and military units that were not affiliated with the aristocracy were often not eligible to go).
And now in Phinean City, in addition to the traditional soldiers of the northern wealthy clans, the new army established by the Aurora Southerners is a large number of military units that can barely pass the physical fitness required for transmission, and they use all muskets.
And the Apuro Empire also had the honor of fighting these "demons" armed with muskets for the first time. The casualties were heavy, and even with the help of mages, elite marksmen, and Matthew priests, the casualties of the Apuro Empire were even greater.
Especially as the war continued, the spiritual power and holy power of the mages and priests of the Apuro Empire gradually dried up, and the balance of the war began to tilt in favor of the Aurora.
At this critical juncture, the legendary ranks of the Apuro Empire gathered a group to form a death squad and made a reverse breakthrough against the enemy camp, trying to assassinate the adjutant who commanded the army on behalf of the Valkyrie.
This time the assassination almost succeeded. After all, these high-ranking people are quite difficult to deal with, and the threat that muskets can pose to them is very limited. This caused the Aurora attack to fall into chaos for a while.
has such an effect, but also because in this assault team, there is actually the seventh legendary powerhouse on the side of the Apuro Empire, that is, the former Prince Deva.
However, he did not participate in the legendary battle in the air, because he was not strictly a complete legendary powerhouse.
His injuries made it impossible for him to fight with a legendary-level strength for a long time, if he went to participate in a battle of the same rank. There is a high probability that he will fall, so the Apuro Empire was not prepared to let him fight in this general battle.
However, Prince Deva insisted on listing himself as a reserve, and when the Imperial army faced defeat, he resolutely intervened, personally leading a group of high-ranking people to carry out the decapitation operation. An attempt to paralyze the enemy's command.
However, just as the Apuro Empire was cheering and almost thought the situation was reversed, a necromancer who suddenly appeared also attacked the commander of the Apuro Empire and fought the startled Prince Deva.
This necromancer who suddenly appeared was extremely powerful, not only showing the strength of a legendary mage, resisting the desperate Prince Deva, but also due to the necromantic magic he used, which would have a serious impact on the surroundings, and even around the area of their battle, the Epro people who were affected by the impact of the death would turn into skeletons or walking corpses under the effect of necromancer magic and attack their former partners in the next moment.
It was already difficult for the Apuro people to resist the attack of the new alien army, and it was only thanks to the successful raid led by Prince Dewa that the situation was reversed, and now the same command system was in trouble, and the morale of the necromancer was even more collapsed by the magic of the necromancer, and the army was immediately defeated.
The legendary powerhouses of the air have not yet decided the winner, but the large-scale battle on the ground has ended in the defeat of the Aprolos.
If you look down from the air, you can see the scattered soldiers of the Apuro Empire like chrysanthemums blooming, and behind them are the pursuit of aliens.
The presence of the necromancer alarmed the Matthew Church, whose patriarch and another cardinal personally rushed to save the already debilitated Prince Deva and intimidate the legendary powerhouse on Aurora's side.
The two sides ceased fighting, and the battle ended in the defeat of the Apuro Empire, but the aliens were threatened by the Matthew Church and temporarily halted their expansion. (To be continued......)
