447 Vicchia's counterattack (9)
447 Vecchia's Counterattack (9)
The queue of "shooting" longbowmen quickly spread out in a diagonal line from both sides, and the originally scattered points of attack began to concentrate on the enemy's weaker left flank,
The mighty longbow and arrowhead let out a death howl, countless white lines tore through the sky, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the arrows covering the sky shot down from the high hills
"Ahh
At the juncture of life and death,
The high morale of the Ryordian people as the overlords of the continent is vividly reflected, they are the soldiers of the most powerful kingdom on the continent, they once trampled the entire continent under their feet with their swords and war horses
The high morale of the "charge" and the blood of the warriors encouraged them to rush forward regardless of a single qiē, and the dense formation was constantly covered by the rain of arrows overhead, and the corpses piled up in front of the Wikiasian army into a small mountain
The soldiers in front fell, and then people continued to rush up from behind, and the dense spears became a sharp weapon to push down the enemy at this moment, and with a wave of * charges, the 8,000 Vekia troops who held the hollow also suffered a large number of casualties, and two obvious lines of corpses appeared at the junction of the hills,
After three hours of hand-to-hand combat, the number of the Vics, the backbone of the infantry, was sharply reduced from 2,000 to 400, and countless spears pierced from all directions, and their screams were like wounded beasts
More and more Ryrdian soldiers stepped over their corpses with bloody spears and shouting
"My lord, we need reinforcements" The heralds who asked for reinforcements kept appearing in front of Crowrisart, watching the gradual gain of superiority lost in the tug-of-war, Crowrisart's face became more and more cold, he had already drawn his saber, and he had given the order to the last 2,000 direct troops of the legion to prepare for battle
When the battle came to this, both sides were already at the end of the crossbow, and the two armies were strangled, and the comparison was just to see who could hold out to the end, and the commander of Rui Erdian on the opposite side was obviously an experienced and famous general
"The brave wins!" Crowissatre looked at the stalemate of the battle line, and felt more and more the inadequacy of his legion, the enemy was actually not very fierce,
But the strength of the regular army of Rui Erdian was not afraid of death, so that these soldiers who screamed and pounced on the enemy suppressed their subordinates in momentum,
The Vechian soldiers, who had never experienced such a bloody battle before, under such a fierce blow, the counterattack seemed to be disorderly, and if it were not for the support of the longbowmen, the entire depression would have been lost long ago,
The enemy seemed to never finish, one group fell, and the other rushed up, which was a kind of mental torture for the soldiers of the mountain legion
The main body of the mountain legion is the barbarian soldiers of the southern tribes,
They have not received formal military training, they are not regular phalanx soldiers in the real sense, and they do not have a strong sense of cooperating with the military formation, and more often than not, they still rely on their excellent combat skills to fight
But when the dense military formations collide together, when there are spears piercing from all sides,
The mountain soldiers, who had not undergone rigorous formation training, were completely stunned
If it was the regular army of Salons or Caesar Sauron, in the face of the strong attack of the Ryrdians, they might also launch a counter-advance of the military formation
However, the mountain legions, which were mainly lightly armed, were unable to launch a counterattack except for relying on bows and arrows from high places.
In this way, the thick defense line was worn away layer by layer by the Ryrdian army, and the desperate impact of the Ryrdian army made the defense line of the Vecchians weaker and weaker.
The aftermath of several great battles without recuperation also broke out in the longbow troops, which Vecchia relied on the most, as the intensity of the battle and the length of time prolonged.
The longbowmen, who were the main attackers, had to stop their powerful shots during the fifth attack of the Ryrdians, and the strong bowstrings made the archers' fingers red and swollen, and the longbows were stained with blood.
"Assemble, hurry up, everyone cheer up and the victory will finally belong to Rui Erdian" A general Rui Erdian with a white cloth wrapped around his body appeared in the rear of the battle line,
He held up the team flag in his hand and shouted to the resting soldiers around him, these were the hoplites who had just been withdrawn from the front line, their armor with slash cracks, and many of the soldiers' spears were deformed by the impact
They are the second heavy infantry regiment that plays the role of the spearhead of the main attack, and they are the sharpest spear points of the entire legion
But this time, instead of tearing apart the enemy's military formation for their companions behind, they were severely wounded by the Vecchians at the beginning of the contact.
The front of their charge is the area defended by the Viks,
When the heavy spear in his hand was torn apart in an instant by the two-meter-long Vic Patriarch's knife, the proud heavy infantry armor on his body also turned into piles of broken iron splattered with flesh and blood in front of the irresistible force.
The reloaded queue of fifteen hundred people collapsed under the light of the sword, and the corpses were shattered along with the warrior's armor, and the bright red blood splattered the faces of those behind them
The confusion of the backbone directly led to the defeat of the first wave of attacks,
The sudden blow of the Viks caused heavy losses to the main battle flag group, but when they did not receive the order to retreat, they still relied on the second echelon to replace them if it were not for the backup, and there were few of them who could still stand up now
Half of them stayed forever at the front of the two armies entangled in front of them, and the blood of the hot soldiers even seeped into the cold hard soil under their feet, cold
Charge and be defeated, charge again, be routed again,
After 3 hours of brutal fighting, this 6,000-strong flag regiment is now only 1,000 people left, and it has been routed 4 times, withdrawn, and rushed up again after being assembled, and they still have no signs of scattering and fleeing.
Seeing the wounded general, he raised the flag in his hand like a flame again, they gritted their teeth, supported each other to their feet, and clenched their heavy spears and shields in their hands again
"Victory over Ryrdian"
After all, the number of the Willyl Legion was only 30,000, and the large attrition in front made the strength of the legion stretched, and the soldiers who had broken down in front consciously moved closer to the regimental flag in the rear, forming a new line of attack and throwing themselves into the charge again.
Tenacious will and high morale,
Let the Willilai legionnaires take the most classic wave attack queue in the ordinary army formation to the extreme
The rolling waves are constantly charging, constantly being routed by the enemy,
But the subsequent waves are endless, the soldiers rush to the enemy in rows, and the bloody battle line strangles and devours the lives of the soldiers on both sides of the enemy and us, until the last man fights, either crushing the enemy or crushing himself,
This is the Rock Legion of Willyl
