Chapter 323: The Battle of Miracles
But in the past two years, under the cover of the old emperor and Gulliver's indifference, Sophia has used her power and connections to weave a large network connecting the imperial capital to the cities along the southeast.
These female soldiers were gradually established in the name of establishing a reserve replenishment mechanism for the Red Rose Knights, and almost all of them were her trained henchmen.
Female soldiers are not taken seriously, no matter how many there are, before the start of this war, even if they are discovered, they will only laugh and forget about them, and no one will really think that these female soldiers alone can threaten anyone.
If it continues like this, when the number of these forces hidden in the shadows and seemingly unrelated to each other increases to twenty or thirty, when one day Sophia decides to tear off her disguise and stand in the sun, it will be an extremely terrifying and terrifying force.
But even so, when Sophia learned that he was trapped behind enemy lines, and when he needed her but didn't speak, Sophia resolutely made a choice.
She showed this strength that was still in its infancy and had not grown in advance, without the slightest pity or hesitation.
Just to save him and save his lover.
Philip couldn't have imagined that two years ago in the garden of the palace, the princess of the Empire, who was going to be the first empress in the world, would make such a sacrifice for him.
I can't imagine how much suffering and energy this girl endured and spent on this journey in order to gather troops, to coordinate interests, and to rush to the southeast border as soon as possible.
He looked at the delicate face beside him, but still with a hint of tiredness and weather, and only remembered the surprise and relief on her face when they met again a few days ago.
Beauty is important, how to repay.
Decades later, when the passion passes, she may be the empress of the empire who is high above and only interested in profit.
At that time, there may be misunderstandings between them, they will get tired of each other, and they will become realistic and cold-blooded.
But Philip didn't care, because now she's just his woman, his Sophia, unique.
He sat in the middle of the raft and held the girl tightly in his arms, his chin resting on her shoulder, and smelling her hair.
Let the girl play with his long white blonde hair, and it was a mess of fun.
It's just that Afu took Alie to sit on the wooden row at the back, without a trace of anger on her face, and she was not depressed and lost because someone robbed her of the job of washing her hands and face in the morning and evening, and she still looked so quiet.
As for what she was thinking, no one knew if her heart was really as indifferent as it seemed.
Three days passed in a flash, and the whole journey was very smooth.
Every ten wooden rows will have a guide of the Lubo tribe, so no one will get lost in this labyrinth.
In the early morning of December 4, in the last darkness before dawn, Philip emerged from a dense jungle and found no steppe people.
So more and more wooden rafts docked on the shore, and the valley gradually became lively, even if everyone deliberately kept quiet, but when the number exceeded 10,000, it was still discovered by the ubiquitous eyes in the sky.
It's a pity that the steppe people would not have imagined that a whole division of Ward Guys would suddenly appear from this place, and they thought that they were scouts hiding here.
How could a scout camp of 5,000 men keep Philip and them in the valley, and it wasn't until the second scout camp was quickly eaten that the steppe realized that he had made a big mistake.
Because the object of their defense has always been in the east, no one could have imagined that there would be so many enemies behind them.
With the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of Maga as the vanguard on the left and right, the 7,000 heavy cavalry of the Red Rose Knights, Philip's direct subordinates and the cavalry of Maga Regiment formed the main force of the charge, and the rest of the troops acted as a response to protect the wings and behind them, and rushed into the camp of the steppe people like a flood.
A full 120,000 unsuspecting steppe people were trampled under iron hooves, and before they could organize resistance, the reserve force that remained in the rear collapsed.
Not only was everyone wrapped in dumplings, but even the six heads of terror used to carry weight and siege the city were turned into a large puddle of carrion without showing any power at all.
It is estimated that the steppe people also saw that whether it was the worm at the beginning or the fear later, as long as the weakness was discovered by the Wards, it would no longer be effective.
At 8 a.m., nearly 50,000 troops marched through the dense forest to the eastern line.
The screams of those eyes in the sky joined together, and the steppe people hurriedly turned around to block the passage, but unfortunately it only lasted less than a quarter of an hour under the iron hooves of the Wards before a chain reaction occurred.
Philip could see clearly in the sky, mainly because the 2,000 heavily armored knights led by Kalitan were really too fierce, and the frightening luxury armor ensured that they would not be injured even in the face of the rain of arrows from the sword mountain, and the awakened people of up to 500 people also made the Ah Xun regiment blocked in front of them not much different from ordinary steppe people.
When the battlefield passage was opened and the follow-up forces were released, the entire battlefield situation underwent a fundamental change.
If the strength of the army cannot form a superiority of more than ten times, what the steppe people are is a dish.
The terrain is not open enough to form an encirclement posture, what the grassland people are, the same is the vegetable.
In this hilly area with complex terrain, the entire army formed ten sharp arrows, and under the command and mobilization of Philip, the ranks of the steppe people were divided into more than a dozen areas of various sizes.
This is really the most satisfying command Philip has ever conducted since the beginning of the war, and it is also the most ingenious combination of his calculating talent and commanding wisdom.
After all, compared with the barbarian warriors of the Gaoshan Clan, these imperial soldiers, even if they are all female soldiers, have military qualities that are not inferior to those of male soldiers, they are not greedy for merit or rashness, and they are even more delicate and obedient to command than male soldiers.
There was no need for a dedicated liaison officer, and they carried out Philip's command to the end.
The steppe people were crushed, and before they could fire their arrows at the enemy cluster to the east, they were scattered by a heavy cavalry from the north, and they were crushed.
Whenever they formed a formation and tried to resist, they found themselves surrounded by enemies on three sides, followed by a rain of arrows and javelins.
A team of 10,000 men had just rushed up a hill under the command of the commander when they found that there was not a single enemy in sight except for the dense corpses of their own people.
When they had no choice but to rush down the hillside, they were cut off by a cavalry that came out of the valley on the flank, and then they were defeated in separate battles.
Without a unified command, the eyes in the sky are only beasts after all, and the undeveloped brain cannot handle such a complicated situation at all, let alone accurately report every piece of information and deliver every order, and sometimes even the person who is connected to the order cannot be found.
Without powerful armor and weapons, without absolute superiority in numbers, after losing the right to information on the battlefield.
What awaits the steppe people is to be divided, then divided, and then turned into tiny pieces of meat to be slaughtered.
The female warriors were also very happy in this battle, they never thought that the war could be like this.
It is not the usual kind of shouting that the whole army rushes forward, and there is no need for the team leader and the wing commander to find suitable fighters to cooperate with the actions of the large army, as long as the leading officer understands the heavenly gesture in time and gives an order, and the soldiers behind follow the footsteps of the front.
Hardly useless, every time they made a tactical maneuver, they would find a group of enemies not far away spinning around stupidly, exposing their fragile flanks to them.
They just need to keep charging, and they don't even need to be entangled too much, as long as they protect their bodies, and then pick up their weapons and cut horizontally, and as for the end, another infantry comrade who happens to arrive will be in charge.
Standing on a hill with her army of heavy cavalry, Calitan looked at the bustling battlefield, and then at the two figures flying in the sky, and finally relented.
The legendary mount can only be regarded as a surprise, and it can't say much, but the skinny corpse of Daxun is surprising enough.
She asked several times how Philip had succeeded with his current skills, and she didn't really believe that Minger, one of the four great Xun of the grassland, would foolishly fight him and turn himself into a cold corpse.
Even if it is really a heads-up, dare to face it head-on in the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops, and successfully kill an awakened person who is up to level five, this is ...... It's even more nonsense than the cheap content sold on the streets of the imperial capital.
But in any case, all this shows that this young knight is very good at working miracles.
And this seemingly chaotic, but in fact subtle command, also made Calitan have to put away the last trace of contempt and willingly relinquish the command, unless she can also fly into the sky to see the entire battlefield.
The Wardsmann Empire's wars have never been so extravagant in enjoying the right to battlefield information.
Even if she just promised Sophia at the beginning to give Philip a chance to try.
The prairie people were still more beautiful, and when the steppe people began to crumble, he didn't seem to have fun, so he divided the troops below into two again, or even four, and played a game of cat and mouse with the steppe people in this hilly area with the most suitable troops, and gradually drove all the living mice into the cages.
When the seemingly unenthusiastic winter sun rose into the air, the battle was over, and the remaining 50,000 steppe people were driven into a valley one by one, unable to move.
Even under the leadership of the leader Ah Xun, these grassland people who had already been dizzy and had collapsed chose to lay down their arms and surrender, he was not as soft-hearted as outside the Red Moon Pass.
At the sound of an order, ten thousand arrows were fired, and it was a rocket.
Some of the female warriors couldn't bear to look at such a terrible sight and avoided their gaze, but Philip squinted excitedly at the smell of blood and fireworks in the air.
Only Ah Fu next to her saw this scene, her expression was a little gloomy, but she didn't say anything.
No matter how much she loved life, she knew that this was what the world really was, especially after she saw the naked, dry corpses of the Rimbo tribe in that valley.
