- Facing the enemy approaching step by step, the commander of the elite Zhentila battle group knew that he was in an extremely difficult situation, and it was difficult to decide whether to fight or withdraw.
If they choose to fight to the end, then this elite Zhentila war group will have to pray that their friendly forces can come out of the city in time to help, and may even completely defeat these "invaders" in front of them. The key is that the war group commander is worried that he may He couldn't hold on until the battle ended.
Don¡¯t doubt the ruthlessness of Zhentil Castle people. Every qualified Zhentil Castle man¡¯s most basic operation is to trick his teammates. Compared to rescuing his damn companions, defeating the enemy and gaining credit is more in line with Zhentil Castle. Model human behavior.
If you choose to retreat or turn in, there is no doubt that this elite battle group will suffer extremely heavy casualties under the enemy's pursuit, but the battle group commander has a high chance of surviving.
After some mental struggle, the commander of the elite Santila battle group resolutely chose to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
This is not because of the noble character of this noble veteran from Zhentil Castle and his determination to fight to the death, but because he is worried that if he retreats directly, he will not only suffer ridicule and rejection from his colleagues and superiors, but also affect his status. and the family behind him.
Of course, the fact that the soldiers under his command are elite and good at fighting is one of the reasons for the commander of the battle group to make the decision to stick to it. Otherwise, if he had a bunch of rabble under his command, he might have run away long ago.
The leader of the elite Santila regiment ordered his three hundred sergeants to set up a defensive formation. They held their shields high to resist the harassment of enemy bows and crossbows, and some shooters fired back from time to time.
The two battalions of infantry soldiers on the Valley Army's side formed a neat queue and gradually approached the elite battle group of Santila. They almost ignored Xantila's bows and arrows to fight back. On the one hand, their protective clothing was tight enough to allow the soldiers to attack. Even in the face of strong winds and rain of arrows, they could barely survive. Moreover, William's army training was somewhat effective, and the soldiers' discipline had been greatly improved.
As the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, hand-to-hand combat soon began.
This engagement is insignificant, but it dealt a serious blow to the soldiers of Zhentila's elite army. Otherwise, the enemy's weapons and equipment are so enviable and jealous.
In most city-states and countries in Faer?n, the equipment of general army soldiers is provided by the soldiers themselves, and the army leaders can only provide some equipment subsidies at most.
Only a few of the richest city-states and the most prosperous lords will provide soldiers with standard equipment on a large scale.
Obviously, the lord of Zhentil Castle is not the kind of generous leader. Even the most elite Zhentil Castle Legion, its most uniform equipment is just a set of embroidered Zhentil Castle or Bane. Linen tunic with hand badge.
The sophistication of soldiers' equipment depends entirely on their personal purchasing power, and for any Zhentil Fort soldier, plunder in war is always the most convenient way to harvest wealth, bar none.
In the past year or two, Zhentil Castle has mostly won more wars against its surrounding opponents. The most recent victory was the defeat of the rebels of the exiled lords of Dagger Valley more than half a year ago, but those exiles were basically in ruins. , no valuable loot can be harvested at all.
Therefore, most of these elite Zhentila soldiers stationed in Teswe are not very wealthy. Their weapons and equipment are basically ordinary items that can barely be seen, such as fine iron weapons, inlaid leather armor, or Inferior iron armor and so on.
Comparing the soldiers under William, almost everyone is equipped with dwarf master-level precision alloy weapons and equipment that are almost armed to the butthole, which makes the leopards from Zhentil Castle drool with envy.
Therefore, when the soldiers of both sides fought against each other, the gap caused by the weapons and equipment directly caused the elite warriors of Zantila to suffer a big loss. Even if their fighting skills were better than those of the valley soldiers, they could not make up for this equipment gap.
Indeed, if you slash your opponent with a sword, the sword falls on the opponent's armor without causing any damage, and your opponent slashes you with a knife, but you can only watch the sharp blade break through your own armor and flesh, and then become desperate and helpless. uttered a death scream.
This was the result of the initial head-on battle between the Valley Legion under William and the Zhentila Elite Legion. The better-equipped Valley Legion had the upper hand. At least dozens of Zhentila elite soldiers died in the first round of fighting. Or injured.
The commander of the elite Zhentila regiment realized his wrong decision almost immediately. He should not have chosen to stick to it. The gap in combat readiness between the two sides was really a bit big, especially in a face-to-face fight. The impact of this gap was almost eliminated. Magnified to the limit, he and his soldiers would probably be strangled before the reinforcements could leave the city.?Exhausted.
William also immediately noticed the battle loss ratio of the soldiers on both sides. He also realized that there seemed to be some problems with his plan. Therefore, William instinctively ordered the infantry battalion that was fighting the enemy to temporarily slow down the investment of troops.
It is a pity that most of the soldiers in the infantry battalion have set foot in such a large-scale killing field for the first time. They generally lack experience, so it is difficult to control their emotions on the battlefield.
Therefore, William's idea of ????controlling the rhythm of the battlefield is undoubtedly inappropriate. Not only did it fail to achieve any effect, it actually disrupted the attack momentum of his own soldiers.
This new recruit relied on this to get on the battlefield, but William's fiddling caused him to lose his temper. For a time, the infantry battalion was directly in chaos. Although the soldiers of the elite battle group of Zhentila were not very well equipped, they had battlefield experience. But it was very rich. They launched a counterattack almost instinctively, but the infantry battalion was quite embarrassed. I don't know how many people lost their weapons in the panic and were thrown to the ground. There are also a lot of unlucky people who are trampled.
Seeing that this step of the battle camp was gradually being reversed, William immediately understood that he had done a stupid thing. He should not blindly mess around with tactics and strategies. After all, the soldiers under his command were not good enough, and it was easy to mess with the tricks. Pulling Dan.
This is not the case! Lift your crotch!
At this time, if we directly withdraw the infantry battalion that has lost its momentum, or send other troops such as the Matador mecha to support, we can bring back the infantry battalion that is on the verge of collapse. However, if we do that, This soldier is really useless.
But if they don¡¯t retreat, it seems they won¡¯t have much room to turn around, unless there is a strong force capable of turning the tide.
It happens that William is such a suitable enemy of ten thousand people. After all, it is his own fault, and he has to make amends with tears in his eyes.
William rides a unicorn, a gift from the elves from the Cormanthor Forest. Compared with Pegasus, although unicorns cannot fly, they have more unique supernatural abilities, such as healing, teleportation, spiritual speech, etc.
This strong unicorn, covered in a fine mail suit, carried William like the wind into the most intense place of the battle.
The unique supernatural ability caused all the soldiers along the way to be knocked away by the unicorn. The difference was that the soldiers in the infantry battalion just flew away, while the soldiers in Zhentila were also hit by the unicorn's crest when they flew out. The knight almost missed every shot.
William rode alone in the battle formation like this. After a few rounds, he basically interrupted the offensive of Zantila's elite battle group, allowing the rookies in the retreat camp to breathe a sigh of relief.
The total number of Zhentila's elite battle group is only about 300. There were many casualties in the previous battle. Now after being attacked several times by William, the casualties have increased significantly. At this moment, they are facing William, who is almost as ferocious as a demon. People can be said to be dazzled, frightened, and robbed of their energy.
Just at this moment, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of Taiswei City. A large mass of black people poured out like a tide. It was estimated that there were as many as two to three thousand people.
After leaving the city, these enemies did not come to rescue the elite Zhentila battle group that was about to collapse. Instead, they swept towards the rear of the valley army in an interceptive manner. They actually wanted to eat William's army in one bite.
Although William fought with abandon in the battle formation, he never lost control of the battlefield situation. Of course, this was due to his Argos friend Kagar. Its psychic data link made William as if he had opened his eyes on the battlefield and could attack at any time. Pay attention to every change on the battlefield and give orders to your generals at any time.
In a classic cold weapon war, one side is equipped with a command system that is even more extreme than the modern digital command platform. The consequence of such a huge gap is that even if a dog is placed in the commander's position, it will be unfavorable. , at least the dog won¡¯t give directions blindly.
Of course, William just made some small mistakes that novice commanders usually make, and he made amends in time.
At this time, seeing the enemies in the city being lured out, William naturally wanted to release the planned winner - the Matador mecha team.
I saw a dozen steel war beasts suddenly rushing out from behind another infantry battalion. They formed a group of two and directly cut through the enemy's reinforcements with an unstoppable momentum. They were surging in an extremely arrogant manner. Seven or eight passages of flesh and blood emerged from the crowd.
After the beast-form Matador mechas completely crushed the enemy's formation, they returned to their adult form, holding a huge revolver in each arm, and kept pouring cannonballs at the chaotic Teswei army. , the power of each cannonball is no less than a standard [Big Fire Ball].
In fact, when the mecha team enters the battlefieldAt that moment, the battle was basically over. After all, how could a body of flesh and blood fight against the torrent of steel?
The battle ended quickly. During this battle, at least one-third of the enemies lost their lives, and most of them died from trampling on each other in the chaos. Then there were also a group of orc captives who were executed by William on the "eleven killing rule". "This makes these savage guys amazingly well-behaved in the future.
The number of captured humans (including elves, half-elves, dwarves, etc.) was almost more than that of William's army. This forced William to escort them to the south in batches after the war. Of course, the only fate of these people for the time being was Serve as road builders who contribute labor to the valley.
Originally, William had a great chance of directly capturing Teswei, but he did not do so. Instead, he ordered the mecha team to stop outside the city wall of Teswei, firing at the city one after another. Deterrence, every shell can frighten the hearts of the remaining defenders in this city.
Occasionally, the infantry battalion will launch a training siege battle against Teswei. Although the results of the battle are always somewhat unsatisfactory, at least the growth of the soldiers is almost visible to the naked eye.
In fact, after the battle, William's reorganized legion basically came to Teswei, taking turns to carry out combat-based training operations.
After experiencing that tragic defeat, the defenders of Teswei have been begging for support from Zhentil Fort headquarters.
The people of Zhentil Castle lived up to their expectations and sent corresponding reinforcements, including a border defense regiment from Northern Raven Fortress, numbering about 400 people, and 2,000 citizen levies from Zhentil Castle. .
It's just that not all of these reinforcements arrived at Tesway. They all encountered ambushes arranged by William in advance. After each reinforcement army was destroyed by more than half in the ambush, some "lucky" defeated remnants were able to "escape" by chance. ¡±, and arrived victoriously at Tesway.
Since then, the people of Zhentil Castle have sent a batch of reinforcements to Teswe almost every once in a while. Sometimes these reinforcements can reach Teswe very smoothly, and then Teswe will usher in a fierce siege. , large numbers of soldiers fell under the gunfire of those terrifying steel mechas.
Sometimes Zhentil Keep¡¯s reinforcements would be attacked halfway. They might be able to easily repel the ambush, or they might suffer heavy casualties in the ambush, and sometimes even the entire army would be annihilated.
Gradually, the people of Zhentil Castle even drained away the army of Raven Fortress, and the qualified soldiers in Zhentil Castle also began to dry up, but this painful war has no end in sight.
In desperation, the people of Zhentil Castle began to organize slave soldiers, and mobilized troops from those connected city-states to recruit mercenaries. They even sent people to the wild lands in the north to recruit the orc tribes south.
Of course, William is not just relying on two or three thousand people to conquer the world. The cities and regions in the southern valley that are under William's command are also constantly transferring people to the north, and they are joining William's army camp in batches. Corresponding military training.
The legions that had received sufficient experience and preparation were sent to several strategic locations in the south in units of infantry battalions, such as Bow Valley, Battle Valley, Scar Valley and other places.
In this winter, the biggest thing William did was to use twelve super large fireworks on the Rongma Grassland in the north of the Dragon Ridge Mountains to blow up dozens of orc tribes who wanted to go south to have fun. The ashes, including an orc saint named Enav, also fell under William's tyrannical iron fist. - Didn't finish reading?
