Chapter 10

What stunned Hegma was that in the position of the Casdek Empire and the bamboo forest behind its position, there was a black area. What was this? The birds? Unlike, they all moved in a certain regular manner, and they could not be living things... What would it be? The catapult?

The three words that suddenly appeared almost made Hegma fall from his horse. How could this be possible? How could those defeated soldiers have so many catapults? Looking at it, it is absolutely impossible to produce the number of hundreds of catapults, at least thousands of catapults attack with all their strength? Don’t say that these Casidke army, which were only half a day earlier than them, have no time and ability to produce. Even if there is, it is impossible to find so many suitable materials from here? The wood for making catapults is not something they can collect. Questions emerge one after another, but at this moment it is definitely not suitable for him to think so much. How to solve the current crisis is the most important thing.

But when the Hegma Company decides whether to let the army continue to advance or retreat immediately, the dark cloud-like rockfall has already covered the battlefield. Due to the different elasticity of the bamboo and the materials used on the ground, the rockfall like a meteor shower has not been very accurate. Although the main landing point is still about 200 meters in front of the defense line as originally imagined, the too scattered landing point even attacks the light cavalry in the Senke Federation assault and the bamboo spear soldiers of the Casdek Empire.

The two highest commanders of this battle, Hegma and Carcent, also followed the rockfall to the battlefield. The stones with fists were usually hit directly on their bodies, and at most they felt pain. However, after the elastic force of the bamboo was sent into the sky, the kinetic energy fell down caused the infantry to suffer. The soldiers who were slightly blocked could still use the fig leaf in their hands to resist, while the archers did not even have room for dodging. As long as they were hit, even if they were not dead, they would lose their combat power.

Hundreds of thousands of stones fired continuously (a bent investment can put several stones on the back end, and tens of thousands of bamboos can throw hundreds of thousands of pieces, and launching is even easier. Just cut off the rope tied to the back with a knife, and then it can be launched immediately. A person can definitely fire hundreds of times in one minute. In addition, the bamboo trenchers made by the bamboo trenchers are absolutely shocking enough) have caused the infantry of the Senke Federation to be in chaos. But at this time, the archers of the Casidk Empire also began to take advantage of the fire. They have not yet been able to wake up from the tens of thousands of stones, and when they resisted those bows and arrows, they were even more unbearable than the cavalry that was attacked by the stones. The soldiers who were confused by the stones attack, even the archers who were facing the enemy's backs.

The 20,000 infantrymen only realized after two consecutive volleys of bows and arrows in the Casdek Empire Army, and they were not just facing the stones falling from the sky. There were still a large number of archers waiting for them in front of them. They originally thought that the other party's arrows were scarce, and this was just their wishful thinking.

As the signal of the retreat of the Senke Federation was issued, the surviving Senke Federation Army retreated like a tide, leaving only the more than 10,000 corpses and the abandoned wounded soldiers to the Casdek Empire Army.

From the start of the war to the end, the whole time was only 2 hours, but the result was so tragic. The Black Wolf Legion suffered the most painful lesson in decades. The entire army had more than 70,000 people. In this war, more than 19,000 soldiers fell forever on this short 1,000-meter distance, and nearly 3,000 soldiers injured or knocked out became prisoners of the enemy. Among the soldiers who retreated, thousands of people were injured in various serious injuries. The soldiers who could attack normally in the entire army are only half of the heyday of the legion. (The Black Wolf Legion has 8 divisions, and before the protagonist arrived at this time, more than 10,000 casualties were killed or 10,000 in order to relocate the two local legions in the eastern part of Kasidke. After a small amount of supplement, it formed 7 divisions.)

Looking at the data submitted by his subordinates, Hegma crushed the note to pieces and threw it forward with hatred...

"Camp! We will build defense fortifications, and we wait for the Brown Bear Legion and Magicians in the rear..." After a while, Hegma had no choice but to defend himself. After all, now is not the time to show off. 40,000 light cavalry, with 4 infantry brigades and two complete light cavalry divisions in front of him, plus half of the heavy cavalry division, no matter how arrogant he is, he dare not say that he can defeat the opponent in frontal battle, let alone the time when the host and the guest are dislocated.

Hegma also felt sincerely lucky that he could decisively order the entire army to retreat after the infantry suffered a round of attacks and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat while the local catapult was filled. If he suffered a round of attacks, then not to mention the infantry, even the light cavalry that attacked later would not know what kind of losses would be suffered.

But he didn't know that most of the catapults were one-time. Unless they spent a lot of effort, they would never cause any losses to his army again.

And the most happy thing about this battle in front of me was Carcent and I. Not only did I temporarily save my life, I also gained the respect of all the soldiers in the entire army because of this battle. After all, it was my plan that caused them to lose their combat effectiveness at the cost of more than 300 deaths. In addition to the surprise of those officers looking at me with a strange look from time to time, I felt that I could finally start facing the world and be confident that I could integrate into them.

Carcent, however, was worried about the defeat he encountered in the battle he had experienced some time ago, causing his status to be lost. But now it is different. In less than 2 hours of battle, he only severely damaged the ace army of the Senke Federation with a remnant army, and forced the opponent from active attack to passive defense. All of this can definitely offset the failure he encountered before. As long as he can hold on until the arrival of the 223rd Legion and the 224th Legion, then he will be his most perfect performance.

Carcent became more and more satisfied with his treasure he picked up from the 223rd Legion. He secretly decided that as soon as he returned to the territory, he would do his best to get him in order. As long as he could serve himself, whether he wanted a noble title or a money beauty, he would do his best to satisfy him...
