At about 3:43, Mao Zi's first wave of attacks on the front failed. He abandoned more than 600 corpses and retreated. Nearly one-third of the troops of the two phalanxes that launched the attack disappeared.

The casualties on our side were not light. Even with cannon shells and horse-drawn carriages blocking Maozi's momentum, and a battalion of people in the house with cold guns placed on the roof to provide auxiliary fire damage, we still paid two hundred dollars.

At the cost of many people, the combat effectiveness of more than one company unit was wiped out by Maozi.

And this is still a tentative attack. I thought it would be quite easy. Who knew that Maozi would still be so energetic after running around for so long. However, considering that when a person is angry, his combat effectiveness and rationality are generally reduced.

On the contrary, it may be that I annoyed them and made them tired to death, and as a result, Maozi's combat effectiveness exploded.

The human heart is really hard to understand.

The fierce frontal attack failed, and the flank attack was also terminated. The results of Hippias's battle were not satisfactory, with more than 200 Maozi killed and more than 50 casualties.

The real test came when the three battalions of the Fifth Spartan Legion replaced the injured manpower on the front and left one battalion as a reserve. Taking into account the principle of one rush, then failure, and three exhaustion, it can survive.

Victory will belong to us. If we cannot hold out, we will be completely annihilated by bayonets.

Mao Zi replaced the two seriously injured phalanxes, and then launched another attack. The main force of this attack was four phalanxes, a damn four thousand people!

The air was filled with the pungent smell of burning gunpowder, and amid the roar of cannons, shouts, groans, and wails intertwined together.

In front of the village, there was a nearly 40-meter hellish journey of arrows and bullets. Maozi's corpses were everywhere. However, they did not become frightened by the artillery bombardment as I imagined. Instead, they continued to endure being bombarded again under the leadership of the officers.

Due to the danger of artillery bombardment, a fierce charge was launched towards the defense line.

The carriages blocking the road were either overturned or overturned and fell to the ground. Mao Zi felt like a tsunami swallowing the sea wall and pouring into the village, and the Romans blocking them in front of them became a rocky cliff standing in the impact of the waves.

Opportunism has no place here. Time and time again, the waves of hairy waves set off turbulent waves on the Roman defense line.

The battle situation was in a stalemate for a while. Maozi's corpses were densely packed on several floors, and we were pushed back more than ten meters from the original defense line by Maozi's charge.

I don’t know how long it took, but two six-pound cannons were destroyed by Maozi. The barrels of the two guns overheated and could no longer fire in a short period of time. When the cannons misfired, Maozi’s offensive almost caused the front line to be overwhelmed several times. I had to keep firing.

Send reinforcements to stabilize the defense line. In several critical situations, I had to lead my reserve team and guards to charge forward with swords raised.

Waving a blood-stained saber, I pulled it out of a Russian, and then retreated from the front line where the battle was fiercest. This was the sixth time I joined the battle group. The escorts were like a fire brigade with me. What?

Whenever there is a crisis, take the lead.

Looking forward, the smoke produced by the rapid firing of guns filled the entire battlefield. This not only severely blocked the field of vision, but also severely damaged morale!

Take me for example, as I watched the endless stream of hair rush out from the thick smoke, I suddenly felt a sense of despair and the feeling that it was not the end yet.

no!

We can't let the soldiers' fighting spirit be eroded like this!

They will collapse if they continue like this! They have already lost once, and it is easy for Maozi's fierce charge to recall the failure of the previous few hours!

I returned to the rear and grabbed a messenger: "Let the cuirassier battalion prepare! Tell them! After we push away the carriages on the front line, they will rush out! Defeat the Russians on the road! But don't go far! Once defeated!

They’ll be right back! Did you hear that!!”

The messenger nodded nervously, and I watched him stumble away, grabbing the eagle flag of his Fifth Spartan Legion from a guard.

"Give me the legion's eagle!"

I took a deep breath. The defense line was in danger. In addition to the wounded soldiers who could still fight, I also had a good battalion as the last reserve and cavalry. Although it was not almost at the end of the rope, it was not far behind. For

Today's plan is to give it a try!

"Blow the attack horn!" I shouted to the trumpeter, yelled, and raised the battle flag in my hand.

"Roman!!!"

A loud attack horn sounded after this!

"Charge! Drive the Russians back!"

I raised the flag, held the saber, and threw the last good infantry battalion into the battle. I rushed into the front line, faced an idiot, raised my foot and kicked him out. I slashed with the saber and felt it with my palm.

The sharp blade cut through the barrier of muscle tissue and walked towards the other guy without even looking!

"What are you waiting for, Romans!" Behind him, Leon shouted frantically, "The empire needs you!"

"Kill!"

Screams several times louder rang from around me. I had already rushed to the front line. Here, except for Maozi, there were no Romans! Looking at those twisted and ferocious faces, I had no way out!

"For victory, follow the eagle!"

"Long live Rome!"

Once again, I ran into the enemy formation like a Spartan. With the guidance of the old scumbag, I chopped down all the enemies in the way over and over again. And in the sea of ​​​​people here, I found that those who were less than thirty

The distance of meters is actually so far away!

The speed of waving my arms became slower and slower, and my body became more and more aware of fatigue, but I still persisted and pushed forward for more than ten meters!

A majestic Maozi infantry appeared. As usual, I would definitely be able to give him a fatal blow before he could react. But at this moment, I suddenly found that I was not strong enough, and he caught the trajectory of the saber I waved.

, the rifle held the edge of my blade. He turned his elbow, my consciousness slowed down a step, the saber was pushed away, and then he gave me a hard slap on the face with the butt of the rifle!

The next second, I felt a pain in my chest, and then I felt a spin and the back of my head hit the ground.

My ears were full of sharp tinnitus, and the shouts of death seemed to be far away from me. My vision became blurry. I turned around, got up and knelt on the ground, trying to pick up the eagle flag. In a daze, many black shadows appeared in front of me.

It's fleeting around me.

My chest hurt, and I fell to the ground again. This time, I couldn't exert any strength in my whole body. My body was not under the command of my own will at all. I just felt that I didn't even have the strength to stand up. But I knew that there might be something right in front of me.

Point the bayonet right at me and stab me down.

what to do!?

In my blurred vision, a pair of dirty hands appeared and grabbed the flagpole. I subconsciously stretched out my hand to stop it, but I was too slow and let him take the lead. I raised my eyelids and saw a pair of dirty hands covered with dirt.

boots, stepped over my body.

"Kill them all!"

A roar made me tremble, and then someone grabbed my arm and helped me up.

That was Leon's nervous face. His mouth opened and closed, and the voice he spoke was strange, as if it had been processed by a tuner, and it didn't look like it was coming from him at all.

"Your Highness! You are okay!"

"Me?...It's okay." I patted my head. I was in a daze. The guy gave me a heavy punch. "It seems okay."

"You've been shot!" Leon screamed at this time.

I looked down and saw that besides the first bullet mark on the armor, there was another one, but this one was deeper: "It's not bleeding, is it?"

"You can't stay here anymore!" Leon made me realize that we were still charging! I turned around nervously and saw that we had almost driven Maozi out! It turned out that when I fell to the ground, the people around me were

The soldiers broke out and rushed towards the Maozi without fear of death!

very good!

I pushed Leon away and shouted: "Push the carriage away! Push the carriage away! Then everyone charges to the wings! Push the carriage away! Push to both sides!"

Maozi was driven out, and the remaining soldiers pushed the carriage away to make way for him.

The capable cuirassiers who worked hard ran across the village, trampling on the corpses, and launched a charge when Maozi's retreating front army and the rear army trying to advance blocked each other.

For a moment, the sound of crushing horseshoes and Maozi's screams resounded throughout the sky!

Watching Maozi in the white smoke outside the village stop advancing under the iron hooves of the cavalry, and then retreat, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Maozi's spirit has been lost, and victory will belong to us!

"Romans! Fight with me!!!"

I pushed Maozi back and gathered the soldiers again. The next battle also developed according to my imagination. Maozi had lost his energy!

Yes, the two attacks were repulsed, and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood lying in front of the village were enough to drain Maozi's energy. After that, Maozi's attacks were no longer fierce, and their commander reluctantly launched two more

They charged, but they only rushed to a few dozen meters of the defense line. After being bombarded a few times by cannons, they no longer listened to the officers' shouts and retreated.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, before dark, the Russian army launched its last charge, leaving hundreds of corpses behind before finally retreating.

we won!

But the battle is not over yet!
Chapter completed!
