Chapter 269: Don't think so hard if you can't think of it, I'll tell you that's it
Piao Tianzi The army of the Holy Empire is at least twice as powerful as that of the Free Alliance when the number of people is equal. This is not only because the soldiers spend much more energy and resources than the latter in training, but also the generals of the Holy Empire also have command capabilities that are better than the other party.
When the vanguard of the Second Legion successfully entered the fortress, facing the complete collapse of the soldiers of the Free Alliance at the fortress walls, everyone thought that victory was only a matter of time. However, soon, Paul found that things were a little beyond his control...
The division that first rushed into the fortress lost contact within half an hour, and two hours later, the huge division of three thousand people, which was a total of 3,000 people, was unable to get out alive.
Paul suddenly felt a little chilled. Looking at the gap exposed at the city wall, the general couldn't help but guess: Could it be this was a trap set by the other party?
However, even if the Sanyuan Fortress has many internal mechanisms, it would be too whimsical to use the power of one army to fight against the two legions with this. There has never been a mechanism on this continent that can restrain the entire legion.
What's more, since the war started, the Liberty League's successive defeats have made them realize clearly: In fact, many of the secrets of the Liberty League are not really that secret?
The Three-Yuan Fortress is indeed solid, but if the internal structural diagrams are all in control, what is the point of a strong fortress?
The only problem now is...
When Paul was hesitating, Charlie could no longer help but irritate and sent out a pioneer division under his command. There were also three thousand people, and the combination of various professions, the team composition was more suitable for the internal battles of the fortress than Paul's division. At the same time, dozens of priests were also accompanied by the team... They were already considered elite divisions.
With such a lineup, Charlie even has the confidence to directly break through the city defense of the Free Alliance. No matter how strong the Three-Yuan Fortress is or how many crises are inside, it is impossible to defeat the army of the Holy Empire in close combat!
Paul looked at Charlie. To be on the safe side, he also sent an additional division of his own. The 6,000-man team was already extremely large, and it was even more spectacular when spread out. In comparison, the majestic three-yuan fortress seemed a little narrow.
In this way, it should be foolproof in theory...
However, an hour later, both divisions lost contact in the fortress.
This time, the accompanying priest used his magic to project what happened in the fortress into a water curtain, and immediately responded to the two generals.
The battle in the fortress made everyone watching the projection feel chill all over.
That... can no longer be called a battle, it is a completely one-sided massacre.
Since the war broke out between the two superpowers, the Holy Legion has repeatedly slaughtered its opponents, but this time, the soldiers of the Holy Legion frequently fell under the butcher's knife.
The terrain in the fortress was complex. Although the soldiers of the Holy Empire had already conducted exercises on this, they were inevitably divided into pieces in actual combat. Logically speaking, individual combat power prevailed, and the Holy Legion should have quickly controlled the situation, but the actual situation was completely reversed.
The soldiers of the Free Alliance did not suddenly become very strong, and there were no large number of dream builders hidden in the fortress. They were still those soldiers, but these soldiers seemed to be ghosts and gods, and had an incredible tacit understanding between them. Perhaps a soldier of the Sacred Empire could defeat two Free Alliance soldiers, but when the number increased to two or three, the gap in combat power between the two sides would narrow sharply.
Moreover, this tacit understanding not only exists between three or five people. In the entire fortress, there are thousands of soldiers with the upper body of ghosts and gods. They can defeat the most enemies with the least strength in any battlefield, and each attack can hit the opponent's most painful place. Moreover, they are elusive and come and go without a trace, using the terrain to the extreme.
The soldiers of the Holy Empire were indeed fighting hard, but facing an opponent in a very good condition, the soldiers in the Golden Armor still retreated step by step. In the end, even escaped became a luxury. Surrounded by enemies that were no less than their own, the soldiers of the Holy Empire fell one after another and were eventually wiped out.
Through the water curtain projection, the two legion commanders Paul and Charlie felt cold all over their bodies... The combat method of the soldiers of the Free Alliance reminded them of those dream builders... Only the dream builder's dream legion can make every move accurately like a puppet under the control of the master.
However, even those dream builders who specialize in this way will find it difficult to command their subordinates to fight such battles. It is not because of insufficient control ability, but because of insufficient command ability.
The person who is in charge of command in the fortress now must be the most wise commander that Paul and Charlie have ever seen.
The Free Alliance soldiers who were actually fighting in the fortress were about 8,000. In half a day, they wiped out nine thousand opponents who were far above them, and the price was only two or three thousand casualties. This terrifying exchange ratio was simply the level of the Imperial Guards Legion!
It is a miracle to use a group of ordinary soldiers to achieve the level of the Guards through the art of command!
"Fortunately, their number is really not large..."
Among the eight thousand people on the other side, they can also distinguish between obvious strength and weakness. Among them, three thousand are absolutely elite. They cooperate with each other incredibly well, and the remaining five thousand people are obviously weaker. Although Paul and Charlie did not know the reason - there was no content about the Mind Control Tower in the fortress information in their hands. However, it did not prevent them from making basic calculations.
After half a day of fighting, while achieving impressive results, the Free Alliance also paid a tragic price. More than half of the most elite 3,000 people died or injured. Although the remaining 5,000 people were slightly less casualties, their overall combat power had dropped significantly.
On the other hand, although the Holy Legion suffered heavy losses, there are still many divisions that can fight, with a total force of up to 80,000, still occupying an overwhelming advantage.
"A brief rest and continue fighting at night, we must constantly oppress the other party. Although the fortress commander is very clever, the soldiers' physical strength is limited."
Paul finally made a decision. Charlie was unwilling to accept it, but he admitted that it would be better to continue to attack for a while. It would be better to rest for a while and let the leaders of each division carefully analyze what they saw and heard in the projection of the water curtain just now.
The opponent's strength lies in his exquisite command. If he can grasp some of the opponent's commanders' flaws, he can effectively reduce losses and expand his results.
In the evening, two divisions were sent to siege the city. At this time, almost all the long-range firepower of the fortress was silent. Six thousand people entered the fortress along the broken city wall without any obstacles and began to fight fiercely with the guards.
The number of people in the Free Alliance was small, but strangely, the number of elite soldiers did not decrease, and the warriors of the ghosts and gods remained at 3,000. Therefore, the Holy Legion soon could not resist the oppression of the opponent and gradually retreated. Although it avoided the end of annihilation of the entire army, more than half of the casualties only caused more than a thousand casualties to the opponent, which was still discouraging.
This time, Charlie couldn't help saying, "I'll take action myself!"
Paul wanted to stop him, but he remembered that almost a day passed, tens of thousands of casualties, but the other party's fortress still stood still. He knew that if he didn't take some fierce moves, the situation would be difficult to change. Charlie, who was young and aggressive and had great force, was obviously more suitable for this powerful medicine than him.
The addition of Charlie and his guards made the Holy Empire quickly gain the upper hand and suppressed the Free Alliance soldiers who rushed out of the fortress.
This time, Charlie went to the front line to supervise the battle, and did not rush too far forward, but effectively commanded and fought steadily under layers of guards, eroding the opponent's activity space little by little.
However, when the Free Alliance retreated step by step, the other party also left behind corpses. For a moment, the Three Yuan Fortress was like a meat grinder, constantly eroding the lives of two people. With the continuous advancement of the Holy Empire, the resistance encountered became stronger and stronger... as if the previous opponent did not show all his strength.
However, all of this seems so insignificant under the absolute advantage of power.
In the end, after making a huge sacrifice, Charlie personally led the team and forced the main force of the Free Alliance in the fortress into the corner. His range of activities was squeezed to the limit, and he could no longer use that elusive skill.
Victory is just a matter of time.
At this time, Paul, who was in the back defense, always felt something was wrong. His intuition from years of fighting made him feel as if he was in a slight way and he was in peace.
The other party's commander is an unprecedentedly wise figure. Logically speaking, he should not be forced into a dead end, right? Although no matter from any perspective, the Free Alliance people cannot have the chance to turn the tables. The power of one army against two legions was destined from the beginning.
So, what will the other party do if he wants to turn the tables? Now that he is getting along in a different place, what chance does he have to turn the tables?
Just as Paul was puzzled, he suddenly heard the guard beside him screaming: "Assassin!"
The general reacted very quickly, immediately sat up from the wooden chair and rushed towards the guards next to him. Although his personal combat power was good, he did not have to show off when encountering an assassin. Leaving it to the guards around him was the wisest choice.
As the commander of the legion, Paul had first-class guards around him. However, when the black light flashed, all the guards around Paul had no time to respond effectively.
The guard who was the first to call out the assassin reacted the fastest and rushed towards Paul, trying to use his body to resist the assassination for the general. However, his movements were still a little slower, and the assassin's dagger first stabbed General Paul's chest.
The puff, the muffled sound of the blade entering the flesh, and the blood that splashed up.
