Chapter 343: Caught off guard
Time passed day by day, and Frank couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, he never thought that his opponent didn't know when he would change!
And according to the situation at that time, it should be the most strange legion in the empire that is directly fighting against him, the Tomahawk Legion, but shouldn't the Tomahawk Legion go to the Hongdao Mountain Range on the mainland to fight against the demons? How could it appear here? One question after another brought everything to the unknown direction, three days ago, Frank originally wanted to defeat the besieging troops under the city in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that just overnight, all the troops of the ugly were withdrawn, and they were replaced by the Tomahawk Legion, unlike the Ghostly Crescent Army, the combat effectiveness of the Tomahawk Legion has always been seen very high in the temple, and the Temple Legion that just attacked in the battle suffered the most tragic impact.
Infantry charge!
This tactic that has long been spread at the top of the empire and the upper echelons of the temple has always been regarded as a legend, but Frank, as the first secretary of the Pope's side, naturally has the clearest understanding of this rumor, in the entire empire, and even in the three major empires of the human race, if there is a legion that can perform infantry charges, there is only one Tomahawk Legion in the world, and unfortunately, those who are lucky enough to see this tactic have all died in legends.
The cavalry charge was unstoppable, but the infantry charge three days ago showed the Temple Legion what it means to be like a bamboo!
At that time, the cavalry corps led by the cavalry was still sarcastic when he saw the infantry attack, after the cavalry charged, the two armies met but a burst of people turned on their backs, and the enemy with only a battle axe in his hand cut the cavalry up and down the horse's legs, the speed and strength were called the ultimate in flesh, but as soon as the battle was held, the cavalry phalanx was like snow under the scorching sun, quickly melting, this scene made the temple general who was just proud of him suddenly dumbfounded, if it wasn't for Frank's timely order, I'm afraid the loss of the cavalry array would be even higher.
But the infantry battle after is the most tragic scene, did not expect that the cavalry will be damaged in the hands of the infantry of the rear line corps can not organize an effective defense at all, the roaring defensive shield will actually become two petals under the axe, and the weapon in the hand is like tofu on the blade, the two sides just fought, the shield wall responsible for defense was directly broken, and then the infantry phalanx was slaughtered, until now Frank does not want to stand on the city wall and want to look down, because the city has been reduced to a bloody prison, the smell of blood, attracting countless beasts in the sky and the ground to wander, but I don't know why those beasts just wander, but none of them dare to enter the battlefield。
The War God Legion lost nearly 20,000 people, and Frank immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn when he saw that the situation was wrong, which avoided greater casualties, but the soldiers of the Tomahawk Legion almost broke through the city gate, and if these killers were allowed to break into the city, I am afraid that Frank would have to order a retreat or break through.
The original high spirits have become now lifeless, in the hall where Frank is located, all the generals are like eggplants beaten by frost, the silence in the hall can be heard silently, although Frank is the convener, but he doesn't know what to say, the incident is suddenly an afterthought, the loss is inevitable, but the desire to lose this battle is also naturally lost morale.
"It's come to this, let's talk about it, logistics, how long can our grain and grass last?" Frank knew that there was no result in holding it back like this, so he simply asked questions to drive everyone's emotions, and then actively thought of a way, the new logistics general saluted slightly and said: "Lord Hui, our grain and grass can last for about ten days." ”
"Ten days, is there still a crescent moon harassment on the logistics line?" Frank asked again, but the logistics general said with a puzzled face: "According to the report of the griffin cavalry, there have been no attacks recently, and if all goes well, our follow-up grain and grass should arrive in three days." ”
This is undoubtedly good news, the gloom on everyone's faces has somewhat disappeared, but Frank's face has not improved in the slightest, and it is even more gloomy than before, it will definitely not be a good thing for the crescent moon army that has been like maggots to the bones suddenly disappear, and now it is also disappearing The main force of the crescent army that was originally under the city, in terms of troops, the total strength of the crescent army is only 60,000, but the 60,000 troops are enough to fight a positional battle, so where will their goal be?
Frank's heart couldn't help but become more and more anxious, despite his repeated restraints, but the news of the delay in replying, the change of opponents, the disappearance of the army, all this made his anxiety emerge from his face, and when he saw the happy expressions on everyone's faces again, the anger in his heart was even greater than before, and for a moment he felt that these generals in this hall made him feel disgusted, and even he had an urge to slap the table.
But as soon as his hand was raised, a cold sweat broke out on Frank's forehead, just now, he was actually distracted! And what caused all this was the square box in his arms, how could a demon core of this size have such a great inducing force? If it weren't for his quick reaction, I'm afraid he would have been completely angry just now, patted his chest, Frank couldn't help but have a trace of fear of the magic core, thinking about the soldier who had to pick it up when he ran away, Frank knew that it was fortunate that Salint City now has his own, otherwise, the ghost ugly doesn't have to do anything else, as long as he puts a few more magic cores, I'm afraid this city will change hands.
Seeing him raise his hand, many generals couldn't help but close their mouths, quietly waiting for Frank's instructions, the first clerk's adaptability was super strong, and he snorted coldly before saying: "Don't forget, our original enemy has disappeared, if he gathers together, how serious the consequences are, you must also know." ”
After hearing this, the generals were awe-inspiring in their hearts, Frank was right, it was the Tomahawk Legion besieging Saleint City now, but where did the ugly Crescent Moon Army go?
A general asked with a puzzled face: "My lord, will they meet in one place, and then go straight to the holy capital?" As soon as this general's words came out, they were immediately questioned by others, the Crescent Moon Army was also greatly injured in the battle of the Babel Plains before, even if the ghost ugly was an extreme militant, he would not make this kind of suicidal mistake of increasing casualties in vain, you must know that there are at least 300,000 regular troops around the holy capital, and if you want to rely on the 50,000 or 60,000 people in your hands, how can you take the holy capital.
These words are like stones entering the water, so that the hall once again fell into a heated discussion, but most of the generals think that what the general said just now may not exist, but Frank listened to it and thought about it carefully and found that this possibility is still relatively high, although the ghost ugly person he has less contact, but he is a person who will not play cards according to common sense, this person acts seemingly absurd behind it is all carefully designed, since it will not play cards according to common sense, what the general said just now is the most contrary to common sense, if the ghost ugly really led his crescent army to the holy capital, what would happen?
"Of course it's eaten little by little, do you need me to teach you this?" The ghost ugly casually gave Kalie a burst of chestnut, Karlie stuck out his tongue and admitted his mistake, but when he saw the landscape under the mountain in front of him, even he couldn't help but swallow wildly, as for the ghost ugly, his eyes were shining, and he kept muttering something quietly, but it didn't make people hear clearly, which really made people feel hateful.
There is a mine under the mountain, different from ordinary mines, this mine produces magic crystal ore, and people are constantly entering and exiting at the entrance of the mine, and the guards here are very strict, it is impossible to sneak in, and this is the first place that the ghost ugly looks at after leading the troops to join the division, this is a place that is just a hundred miles away from the holy capital, and the enemy will not expect that their biggest enemy actually came under their noses like this, and they also fell in love with the magic crystal ore veins that maintain the consumption of the magic crystal of the holy capital.
"You should be familiar with this kind of thing, now that you have set a plan, it is good to execute it. The ghost clown on the shoulder, then found a suitable place for the soldiers to set up their tents, and began to sleep in, for the past few days he had been directing the troops day and night, fighting one small battle after another, and completely honing the recruits in the meniscus army into veterans.
When the ghost woke up, Kalie opened the curtain and came in with a happy face, and then reported with excitement on his face: "My lord, we have taken the mine and captured all the people on the other side, and no one has escaped the net. ”
Ghost Ugly frowned and got up and said, "Who told you to fight now?" Karle was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said: "It's not what you said you want to ......" Ghost Ugly bit his lip and then said: "Okay, I know, release a few ventilation messengers, and then our direction is going northeast, we are going to a place." ”
"My lord, aren't we going to the Holy Capital?" Karle's eyes lit up, but the ghost ugly shook his head and said: "Otherwise, why let go of the people who reported it, just let them know that we want to go to the Holy Capital, anyway, we can't beat such a big guy, it's better to choose something that is easier to start, the loss is small, and it can be accumulated by quantity." ”
"And which province is our next target?" asked Calle, a little uncertain, and said with a sinister smile, "You'll know tomorrow." ”
The next day, inside the city of Salint.
When Frank, who had just finished washing, was still changing his clothes, a soldier suddenly ran to the vicinity in a panic, it seemed that all the urgent soldiers had reported it, and the soldier had been recruited, but the news he got was shocking.
It was the general who guessed that the ghost might have gone to the Holy Capital, and was discovered by his subordinates this morning and killed by someone who cut his throat!
