Chapter 229 The military song is loud
The Golden Knights of the Roland Empire were capturing the four red-light knights and three purple-light knights fighting against the generals of the Zhennan Army in front of the two armies. After receiving the signal of retreat, they all took advantage of the opportunity of the two horses being staggered and retreated safely.
Then, Vanya, the deputy commander of the Golden Knights, slowly retreated to the formation of Roland's army with more than 200 knights.
Seeing more than 200 knights of the Golden Knights retreating, Yermark, the commander of the Third Legion of the Roland Empire, looked not very good-looking.
"Duke, I'm very sorry. There are too many generals in the southern army of Yanguo Town who have the strength of the Red Knight. This challenge in front of the formation has disappointed the Duke's expectations." Wanya said with a wry smile.
"There is a saying in the East that victory or defeat is common in military affairs, not to mention that it is just a challenge in front of the formation. Earl Vanya does not need to be too concerned."
After all, it was the Golden Knights. Although Yermak was very unhappy, he did not embarrass Vanya. Instead, he comforted Vanya a few words.
Immediately afterwards, Yermak shouted loudly to the other twelve legion commanders and more than 200 ten thousand men: "Everyone has seen that the southern army in Yanguozhen is very strong, and there are even many Red Knights."
After pausing, Yermak drew his sword and raised it high, "But our Legion of Roland Empire will not be afraid of any enemy. Today's battle will advance and never retreat. Roland - long live -"
The twelve commanders of the legion and more than 200 ten thousand men followed and drew out their swords and shouted in agreement: "Long live Roland--"
Then more officers and soldiers of the Roland Empire raised their weapons and shouted: "Long live Roland--"
Amid the deafening shouts, Yermark pointed his sword forward, "Attack-"
After Yermak issued an order to attack, the infantry formation in front of Roland's army immediately began to slowly press forward towards the opposite Zhennan Army.
During the first wave of attack, Yermark directly invested in twenty heavy infantry 10,000 teams.
The twenty Roland army's heavy infantry teams were divided into two rows and advanced neatly with drum beats.
When Li Bin saw that the Roland army sent troops to suppress it, he turned his head and said to Xue Li: "Rengui, today the army of both sides launched a decisive battle. Morale is the most important. You can't wait to be beaten. We will face it directly!"
Xue Li nodded and said, "What the lord said is that the battle between millions of troops on both sides is very critical. You must meet at this time!"
Under Li Bin's order, twenty heavy infantry brigades sent out twenty square formations, which were arranged in two rows like the Roland army, and slowly moved forward to meet them.
The Roland army's heavy infantry team was equipped with a large number of drummers. At this time, the drummers were carrying leather drums and beating drum beats while the heavy infantry phalanx was marching. The officers and soldiers of the Roland army would follow the drums and move forward in neat steps.
The heavy infantry brigade of Zhennan Army is not equipped with leather drums, but the brigade rate, deputy brigade rate, battalion rate, and deputy battalion rate of the heavy infantry brigade are all equipped with battle flags.
When the twenty-sided brigades of the 20 heavy infantry brigades of the Zhennan Army waved the battle flags at the same time, an passionate battle song immediately rang.
"Why do you say you have no clothes? You are in the same comrade with your son. The king set up his army and repaired my sword and spear. He is in the same vengeance with your son.
Is it said that I have no clothes? I am in the same vein as my son. The king raised his troops and repaired my spear and halberd. He worked with me.
Do you say you have no clothes? You have the same clothes as you. The king of you builds your army and builds your armor and soldiers. You will walk with you."
The 140,000 officers and soldiers of the 20 heavy infantry brigades of Zhennan Army sang passionate battle songs while following the rhythm of the battle songs, and also took neat steps, and faced the twenty heavy infantry teams of the Roland Empire with high momentum.
Shortly after the 140,000 officers and soldiers of the 20 heavy infantry brigades of Zhennan Army sang the battle song, more officers and soldiers from Zhennan Army sang it.
This ancient Chinese war song was chosen by Li Bin as the Zhennan Army, which made the ancient Chinese style ring again in the world of different time and space.
Today, the Zhennan Army did not come out in full swing, but more than 1.5 million people also came out to form a formation. When more than 1.5 million people sang a battle song together, the scene was simply spectacular and jaw-dropping.
This also made the morale of the twenty heavy infantry brigades that the Zhennan Army fought increased.
On the other hand, the morale of the twenty heavy infantry teams of the Roland Empire was inevitably suppressed, and even the sound of some war drums was blocked by the huge sound of war songs. Some heavy infantry of the Roland Empire couldn't help but become messy.
With the loud battle songs, the heavy infantry battle formations of both sides became closer and closer.
The soldiers in the front of the Zhennan Army's heavy infantry battle formation did not carry heavy tower shields, but just held ordinary rectangular shields. However, after the battle formations of both sides approached, the two soldiers in the front and back of the two rows immediately folded the two rectangular shields up and down together.
In this way, a shield wall nearly two meters high was still erected in front of the Zhennan Army's heavy infantry battle formation.
When the twenty-sided brigades waved the battle flag again, dense crossbow arrows shot towards the heavy infantry formation of the Roland army from the battle formation of the Zhennan Army.
The heavy infantry of the Roland Empire was equipped with round shields, and each round shield could not even block all the people who were holding the shield. So after the rain of crossbow arrows fell, screams suddenly sounded in the heavy infantry formation of the Roland army.
Then, the archers in the heavy infantry formation of the Roland army also began to shoot at the heavy infantry battle formation of the Zhennan Army.
At this time, the above of the heavy infantry battle formation of Zhennan Army had been covered by countless rectangular shields, forming a huge shield barrier.
Except for a few of the arrows shot by the archers in the Roland Empire, lucky enough to shoot in through the gaps between the two rectangular shields, most of the arrows were blocked by this huge shield barrier.
With the interweaving of arrow rains on both sides, the distance between the battle formations of both sides became closer and closer, and soon the officers and soldiers of both sides began to throw javelins at each other.
Since the shields of the Zhennan Army's heavy infantry are much stronger than those of the Roland Army's heavy infantry, the two sides threw javelins at each other, which still led to the Zhennan Army's heavy infantry.
When the heavy infantry battle formations of both sides were about to collide, the Zhennan Army was still a group of Modao soldiers who stepped out first, stepped forward like a wall with neat steps, and continued to kill the heavy infantry of the Roland Empire ahead.
"Stop! Hold! Don't retreat! Those who retreat will behead!"
"You coward, rush up to me. If you dare to take a step back, I will chop your head!"
Facing the Mo Dao Hand who was like a killing machine, the heavy infantry formation of the Roland Empire was inevitably a little confused, but the officers of the Roland Empire in the square formation knew in their hearts that the commander who commanded the war was Yermark, the commander of the Imperial Third Legion.
Since Yermak, who was in charge of the army with iron blood, said before the war that "there is no order for retreating on the battlefield, regardless of the position, all military law is engaged in military law", he will definitely not be soft-hearted about the retreating person.
Perhaps ordinary soldiers and low-level officers could escape Yermak's punishment, but these ten thousand men and thousands of men who led the troops were basically unable to escape death.
Therefore, the officers of the Roland Empire's heavy infantry phalanx were trying their best to maintain the battle formation and ordered the soldiers to launch a counterattack against the Modao hand of the Zhennan Army.
The Modao Hand of Zhennan Army is also a human being, not a real machine, and will be tired and injured.
Under the desperate counterattack of the heavy infantry of the Roland Empire, the formation of Mo Dao's hand advancing like a wall was soon disrupted. At this time, the twenty brigades of the heavy infantry battle formation of the Zhennan Army led the battle flag and gave new orders.
Immediately afterwards, the Zhennan Army's heavy infantry battle formation sounded a rapid and sharp whistle.
With the whistle sounded, Mo Daozhe, who was still struggling to kill the enemy in front, began to retreat in an orderly manner, and soon retreated back to the heavy infantry battle formation of the Zhennan Army.
The sword and shield hand at the front of the heavy infantry battle formation of Zhennan Army just now became the front row again and fought with the heavy infantry of the Roland Empire.
Behind the sword and shield hand, there were spear soldiers who cooperated, constantly extending spears from behind the sword and shield hand, assassinating the heavy infantry of the Roland Empire in front.
Whenever a sword and shield hand or spearman falls, a new sword and shield hand or spearman will come back.
Although the heavy infantry of the Roland Empire did not retreat when they fought to the death, it was obvious that the Roland army was at a disadvantage on the situation on the battlefield.
Yermak, the commander of the Third Legion of the Roland Empire, said with a calm expression: "The southern army of Yanguozhen is indeed powerful. This heavy infantry battle formation alone is much more intelligent than the heavy infantry battle formation of our Roland Empire."
Mavrik, the commander of the Seventh Army, suggested at this time: "Duke, should you let the heavy cavalry attack and attack the flanks of the heavy infantry battle formation of the southern army in Yanguozhen?"
Yermak shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the front is not defeated yet. The heavy cavalry is the elite among the elites of my Roland Empire. Before the critical moment, the heavy cavalry does not need to appear."
Mavrik, the commander of the Seventh Army, hesitated for a moment and said, "Duke, the heavy cavalry of the Southern Army of Yanguozhen, is also very powerful in combat, and is equipped with strong crossbows and javelins. Once the cavalry of both sides approaches, the heavy cavalry of the Southern Army of Yanguozhen will first attack with strong crossbows and javelins."
"I already know this, but now there is no way to adjust our own heavy cavalry. We can only use heavy cavalry reasonably according to the situation on the battlefield."
At this time, Ye Feimude, the commander of the Sixth Army, said: "I think it is best to use the Servant Army to deal with the heavy cavalry of the southern army of Yanguozhen. Before, we used the Servant Army to deal with the heavy cavalry of the southern army of Yanguozhen, which had achieved good results, but we need to place a supervisory team behind the Servant Army."
Before more reinforcements from both sides arrived, the Roland army used the minion army to block the charge of the heavy cavalry of the Zhennan Army at the cost of casualties, but the difference in combat losses between the two sides was very shocking.
Yermak nodded, "This is indeed a good idea. As long as you can win, it will be worth it even if all the 1.5 million servants gathered this time are all worth it."
Then Yermak turned his head and said to the messenger behind him: "Blow the trumpet! Let the ten heavy infantry teams in the first row retreat, retreat from both sides of the ten heavy infantry teams in the second row, and order the ten heavy infantry teams in the second row to take the lead!"
Yermak's order made many thousands of people feel relieved.
At least Yermark did not wait until the ten heavy infantry teams in the first row were completely injured and injured before giving the order to retreat.
"Another ten heavy infantry teams will be organized to form the third platoon battle formation!" Yermak continued.
When the ten heavy infantry teams of the first row of the Roland Empire retreated and came up from the second row of ten heavy infantry teams, the ten heavy infantry brigades of the first row of the Zhennan Army did not suffer much loss, but they also chose to retreat and came up from the ten heavy infantry brigades of the second row of the rear.
However, the ten heavy infantry brigades that retreated soon reorganized the team behind and could continue to fight. The ten heavy infantry teams of the Roland Empire had almost 30% of the casualties, so they directly retreated to the formation of the Roland army.
The battle between the two sides today continued until the sunset, and they retreated their troops and returned to the camp.
There were only twenty heavy infantry brigades fighting on the Zhennan Army, and fifty infantry teams of ten thousand people were sent out on the Roland Army, of which thirty were heavy infantry teams of ten thousand people of the Roland Empire, and twenty were light infantry teams of ten thousand people of the Servant Army.
Yermak, the commander of the Third Legion of the Roland Empire who returned to the camp commander's tent, said with a pale face: "Catch all the ten thousand men of the 20 servants!"
Soon after, twenty 1000-strong servants of the 10000-strong army were brought over.
The 1000-strong commander of the twenty servants called for justice after seeing Yermak. It was not that they didn't want to fight to the death, but that the Zhennan Army's heavy infantry battle formation was too terrifying, and they could not control the defeat of their soldiers.
During the battle this afternoon, Yermak sent a team of 20 10,000 light infantrymen from the minion army, hoping to consume the power of some heavy infantry battle formations of Zhennan Army.
But the result was very disappointing. The light infantry team of the ten servants in the front was defeated without causing much loss to the heavy infantry battle formation of the Zhennan Army, and almost defeated the light infantry team of the ten servants in the back.
Although the ten 10,000 light infantry teams of the ten minions quickly rushed up, they did not last long and were defeated by the heavy infantry battle formation of the Zhennan Army.
If it weren't for the ten heavy infantry teams of the Roland Empire re-arranged from behind, they shot some of the defeated servants with bows and arrows, and if they could not solve the battle formation of the ten heavy infantry teams of the Roland Empire, they would be disrupted by the servants.
Yermak sneered and said, "Do you think what I said before is just a joke? I have said it clearly that no one who retreats on the battlefield, regardless of the position, will be engaged in military law! Those who come, push these twenty people out and behead them all!"
The 1000-strong commander of the twenty minion army then cried and was pulled out of the commander's tent by the soldiers.
Yermak snorted coldly and said, "Let the deputy commander of the 20 servants, the 10,000 light infantry team, take over the position of the 10,000 commander, and continue to fight tomorrow. If like today, the 10,000 commander, the 10,000 commander, and the 10,000 commander, the 10,000 commander, and the 10,000 commander are all beheaded!"
Chapter completed!
