Under the guidance of the golden cross flag, the soldiers of the Vatican's Bayer Legion were like a white wave of water, overflowing the withered yellow land and rushing towards the position of Emperor Drossi [***].
Their charging speed was extremely fast. In a few breaths, the front line of the wave had already crossed the center line and swept towards the enemy's camp.
As the commander of the Bayer Army, Cardinal Sandos has been standing on the hillock, closely observing the movements of the army.
He straightened his back, held up the high-powered telescope in his hand, and calmly stared at the battlefield ahead.
From a distance, he looks like a marble statue, motionless. He seems to have full confidence in his soldiers.
Behind him, under the banner of the Central Military Commander, the staff officers were all paying close attention to the battle ahead. From time to time, they would also look at Bishop Sandos's face.
Compared to the De Rossi Army outside the city, Bayer's Army was at a numerical disadvantage. Until now, it could only rely on the fortified city for defense.
Now, if you suddenly attack rashly and leave your own solid defense line to attack the enemy's defense line, the chances of winning are not optimistic.
But seeing that their commander, Cardinal Sandos, who was known as the toughest and thickest-skinned member of the Holy See Army, still had a calm and confident expression, the worried and frightened officers suddenly felt much more at ease.
"This uncle is most afraid of death. Now he is not afraid. This means that the battle situation is completely under control. Of course, I don't have to worry."
"Santos in red is known as a man who has never lost a hundred battles and won every battle. He has extremely rich experience in defeating battles. Even if he loses this battle, I believe he will have a way to save the defeat."
"..."
These officers were all led by Cardinal Sandos, and they also watched Cardinal Sandos step by step from a rookie who didn't understand anything to a general who commanded the main force of the Holy See.
They also know clearly how much hard work Cardinal Sandos has put in.
He may have been an out-and-out stickman before, but now after experiencing countless battles, he is no longer a superficial person, but has become a real doer.
An excellent commander~!
He has always set an example, eating, living and sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers under his command. He has won the trust and respect of all the soldiers.
The officers under the banner suppressed the hesitation in their hearts and watched the battlefield nervously.
For the Bayer Legion, this battle is of great significance. It is the first tough battle they have fought since its establishment.
When Santos was still an archbishop, he fought with the United Nations peacekeeping forces in the Almohad. During the exercise, he was the target of humiliation by friendly forces and was called a points machine.
Moreover, its performance in subsequent actual combat was mediocre, and the war ended after just a few battles.
Later, the Bayer Legion returned to its original station, and then began to reorganize and expand the army. With the original legion as the backbone, a large amount of fresh blood was added.
But they had just completed their expansion, and before they had time to conduct several exercises and training, the war broke out, and they hurried to the battlefield.
Under Delong City, I just experienced my first battle.
Although the defensive battle was fought very well, neither the intensity of the battle nor the casualties could compare with the offensive battle.
Especially what we are attacking now is the enemy's Chinese army camp, which has several layers of wooden palisades and earthen walls inside and outside, and is defended by tens of thousands of soldiers.
Now, the fledgling Bayer Legion took the initiative to attack for the first time, attacking this camp that seemed easy to defend and difficult to attack. Everyone was sweating in their hearts. They still didn't know whether their soldiers were qualified? Can they do it in one fell swoop?
Destroy the enemy's camp?
But Cardinal Sandos seemed confident in this, holding up a telescope to look at the battle situation in the distance with a calm smile on his lips.
He has the demeanor of a general who can lift a heavy weight with ease, even if the mountain collapses in front of him without changing his color.
This also made the officers secretly sigh: Mr. Sandos has experienced the test of war and has become more and more mature. In the future, he will definitely be an important general in the Holy See Army~!
They didn't know that although Sandos looked calm on the surface, his palms were actually full of sweat, and his mind was almost blank. He just kept repeating in his mind: "What should I do if I can't beat you? What should I do? What should I do?"
…”
If someone slaps him from behind at this time, he will definitely jump up in fright.
At this time, the cavalry of Bayer's Legion were like a tide, and they were about to rush in front of the enemy's hastily organized queue.
Because the two sides had been silently facing each other for too long, Emperor [***] was unable to react at all to the sudden attack by the Bayer Legion.
In front of the Derosi Empire camp, only a small number of troops were gathered at the moment.
More soldiers are still running around in the camp, and the officers are also in a panic. Some are forming a team, some are gathering, some are commanding the army and want to rush to support, some are planning to retreat, and some have just woken up and came from the camp.
Peering out from among them... the whole camp was in chaos.
Immediately, bursts of loud horn sounds continued.
Hearing the sound of the horn, the panicked soldiers in Emperor Drossi's [***] camp couldn't help but freeze for a second, and then took action again.
This time, their actions were much more organized.
It was obvious that Emperor De Rossi wanted to organize the entire army.
However, due to the previous chaos in the camp, it would take at least a quarter of an hour to organize. At this time, the Holy See cavalry had already rushed to the front of the formation~!
The rolling iron hooves made a sound like thunder.
At this time, there were not many soldiers of De Rossi's Army in front of the camp, but they were quickly spread out amidst the shouts and curses of the officers, making them look increasingly thin.
The soldiers looked at each other at their thin bodies, the swords in their hands, and then at the cavalry opposite.
Wearing bright armor and ferocious-looking helmets, they came running wildly, each one as fierce as a wolf or a tiger.
The soldiers of the De Rossi Empire were immediately frightened and lost all fighting spirit. The one at the front even yelled, turned around and ran away.
Being able to remain calm and calm in front of the dense cavalry requires a lot of courage and skilled combat skills.
These soldiers of the De Rossi Empire possess neither quality.
They were not good soldiers to begin with. Most of them were bundled with ropes and forcibly recruited by Emperor De Rossi from the areas he occupied, and they were forced to serve as soldiers.
They were just afraid of the swords of the supervisors and De Rossi's punishment of their families - Emperor De Rossi issued an order that all the families who dared to be deserters sat together.
These people have no choice but to persist here. They are treated like pigs and dogs in an officer's house, and they have no morale at all.
When attacking Delon City, these puppet troops immediately retreated when they encountered a grenade explosion. No one was willing to sacrifice their life for Emperor De Rossi.
You know, Emperor De Rossi spent a lot of money to expand his palace, and he didn't have any spare money to pay pensions to these gangsters. In fact, even if he had spare money, he wouldn't use it for this.
Therefore, once these soldiers die in battle, the whole family will starve to death.
If one person takes the lead, a second and third person will appear soon after, and then from quantitative change to qualitative change, an avalanche effect will occur.
The military formation that De Rossi's army had just formed collapsed in an instant. The soldiers shouted, dropped their weapons, and fled back desperately.
At this time, the cavalry can just rush into the fleeing Derosi Empire soldiers and start killing them.
But these Holy See cavalry did not attack directly, they did not even draw their sabers.
As a loud bugle sounded, the cavalrymen took out grenades from the bags hanging on both sides of their saddles, swung them twice in their hands, and threw them hard into the crowd of De Rossi soldiers.
Immediately, like the Red Sea being split open, they galloped past on both sides, revealing the infantrymen who were steadily pressing up from behind.
Cardinal Sandos did not order the cavalry to attack the enemy's strong camp, but used them as high-speed grenadiers to drive the enemy away with grenades and break up the enemy's formation so that they could not organize.
Seeing that the enemy was about to collapse at the first touch, the infantrymen who came up from behind immediately let out a cheer.
Then he shouted loudly: "For the light~!"
Amid the shouts, they trotted after him.
At this time, under the orders and beatings of the officers in the camp, the soldiers of the De Rossi Empire gradually recovered from their panic.
However, because the Holy See Army was approaching the camp at this time, for the safety of the base camp, the officers of the De Rossi Empire had to hurriedly transfer troops one by one from the camp and hurriedly faced the Bayer Army.
Just like beating a dog with a meat bun, sending the troops to the mouth of the Bayer Army in order to buy time for the follow-up troops.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, the Holy See soldier at the front grinned and took out the grenade stuck in his waist, pulled the cord and threw it at the enemy.
A shower of grenades flew over and exploded among the crowd of De Rossi soldiers, bursting into bursts of orange-red fire. From a distance, it looked as brilliant as fireworks.
After several sieges, the soldiers of the De Rossi Empire were very familiar with weapons such as grenades. They knew that as long as this black iron lump fell in front of them and exploded, they would either die or be disabled.
Therefore, as soon as the grenade fell, they were already screaming and running for cover. The newly organized structure collapsed in an instant.
'Boom, boom boom boom...'
Violent explosions continued to sound, raising a cloud of dust and smoke.
In the fierce fire and gunpowder smoke, human limbs were scattered everywhere like broken rag dolls... The Derosi Empire soldiers collapsed just a few steps after leaving the camp.
They fled back in horror.
The soldiers of the Bayer Legion chased after the Derosi Empire people and quickly approached the wooden gate of the military camp.
From the camp came the anxious cry of Emperor Drossi: "Hold the camp, hold the camp~!"
"Your Majesty has an order, anyone who retreats will be killed!"
"The whole family who ran away were sold into slavery~!"
"The emperor said that if you kill an enemy, you will be promoted to two levels and receive a reward of twenty."
"Brothers, come on~!"
They knew that once the Holy See Legion broke into the camp, the situation would be over.
There is no point in surrendering. The Holy See has always hated darkness and evil.
Once they fall into the hands of the Holy See, those bastards will not hesitate to kill and annihilate those who have taken refuge with the demons. If they have time, they might even tie people to crosses, set them on fire, and kill them.
A little bit cooked.
Seeing the defeat of the soldiers, Emperor De Rossi couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately sent out his own Praetorian Guards... He sent his own Praetorian Guards to act as a supervisory team.
The supervising team also lived up to expectations. They swung their knives and slashed at the defeated soldiers.
The soldiers who were killed cried for a while.
Although his method of persuasion was bad, it was extremely effective against the dead soldiers. After killing about three to four hundred people, the defeated soldiers immediately stabilized.
Immediately, driven away by the supervising team with machetes, they returned to the Muzha of the camp and prepared to rely on fortifications to resist the attack of the Bayer Legion soldiers.
In the eyes of the officers of the De Rossi Empire, the enemy just took advantage of the sneak attack.
Just block the Holy See soldiers in the front, hold them tightly, wait for the teams on the two wings to gather, and then attack from the left and right sides to attack the Holy See soldiers.
At that time, victory belongs to you~!
At this time, I saw a group of soldiers carrying shields quickly running out of the Bayer Legion formation. They carried a cloth bag on their backs and held a tower shield almost as high as a person with both hands to guard against the enemy's bows and arrows.
Arriving not far from the wooden fence, these soldiers stuck their shields on the ground, crouched and hid behind the shields, held the strap of the cloth bag in one hand and turned it around a few times, and then threw the cloth bag out.
Hundreds of simple cloth bags fell near the wooden fence, and white smoke emitted from the bags.
A few seconds later, the bags filled with explosives exploded.
The wooden fence was blown into pieces in the gray smoke, and sawdust flew into the sky, with several human bodies mixed in the middle.
Entire sections of the wooden fence were destroyed by the explosion, leaving only a few sections standing alone in the middle. The soldiers of the De Rossi Empire behind did not know whether they were knocked out by the explosion, and they were still in a daze at this moment.
"The God of Light is above, brothers, follow me~!"
"Kill~!"
The soldiers of Bayer Legion roared, raised their swords and rushed forward quickly.
"Kill these people and wipe them out~!"
"Catch De Rossi, be knighted, and have a reward of 100,000~!"
"Come on me!" (This is also one of the most obvious differences between the Imperial Army and the Holy See Army. The officers of the De Rossi Army always shout "Come on me", while the officers of the Holy See Army shout "Follow me".
Although the difference between "I rush" is only one word, it often plays a decisive role in the outcome of the battle.) The soldiers of the Bayer Legion stepped through the blown-up fence and rushed into the De Rossi Chinese Army Camp.
.
Seeing the murderous Holy See soldiers, the soldiers of the De Rossi Empire fled in a panic without even a single effective resistance.
Emperor De Rossi's tulip banner in front of the Chinese army's tent suddenly moved northward.
After this abnormal situation was discovered by the soldiers of the Holy See, they immediately shouted excitedly: "De Rossi has escaped~!"
"Don't let that boy De Rossi get away~!"
"Catch him~!"
He rushed directly towards Emperor De Rossi's Chinese army tent, not even taking care of the prisoners.
The emperor's escape caused the soldiers of the De Rossi Empire to completely collapse. The emperor ran away, why didn't they run away?
The defeated soldiers scrambled to escape from the camp and fled northward.
Under the banner of the golden cross at the rear, the officers of Bayer's regiment shouted: "The enemy has escaped."
"We won, we won~!"
"God of Light, how could you win so easily?"
There are many reasons for the victory. The most important thing is that the Bayer Army was united and had high morale, while the soldiers of the De Rossi Empire had no fighting spirit.
The officers looked at Cardinal Sandos, who had a serious expression and remained silent, with sincere admiration in their hearts, and secretly said: This boss is indeed very experienced, and he killed the enemy with one move.
Everyone raised their arms, gave a solemn military salute, and said: "Congratulations, sir, you defeated Emperor De Rossi."
Cardinal Sandos was suddenly shocked, with a puzzled expression on his face, and said in an uncertain tone: "I? Won?"
"Yes, sir." The deputy next to him had an excited expression on his face and shouted loudly in his ear: "Our Chinese army defeated the enemy and Emperor De Rossi escaped."
Sandos stared blankly at the enemy's military camp not far away. At this moment, it was occupied by soldiers of the Bayer Legion. The enemies were running all over the field, and Emperor De Rossi's flag was moving northwest.
"There is no doubt that I have won." Cardinal Sandos' heart was instantly filled with happiness, and he murmured: "Damn it, I finally won a battle."
He suddenly recalled in his mind the hellish days during the Almohad exercise.
After going through all kinds of torture, ridicule and blows, Cardinal Santos persisted and finally won the first victory in his life.
And it is a crucial victory.
Cardinal Sandos's nose felt sore and he almost cried. He secretly felt in his heart: It's not easy... It's really like Lord Luo said, this damn success is like being pregnant. Just looking at his belly.
Now that I'm older, who knows how many times I've been fucked by others before~!
But the guard he brought from his hometown next to him suddenly burst into tears and said: "It's not easy, sir. I thought I would never see this day in my life."
The officers looked at each other and smiled, feeling as relaxed as if a mountain had suddenly been moved. This kind of success after going through twists and turns makes people feel filled with emotion.
Sandos kicked his guard angrily, then raised his head slightly, waved his hand in high spirits, and said: "Grandma, what are you waiting for? Pass my order, pursue the victory, press the left and right wings, and don't give the enemy a chance to breathe.
.”
"Yes~!" the officers roared excitedly and immediately began to pass orders.
The horn sounded one after another, continuously.
Several miles away, the left and right flanks of the Holy See Army and the east and west camps of Emperor Derosi are still in confrontation. There is also an army of Derosi Empire in the south of Delong City, blocking the south gate.
Now is the time to reap the fruits of these victories.
Just when everyone was gearing up, planning to chop off the heads of several generals, and add a lot of credit to their own merits, so as to gain more chips for future titles. At this time, an officer was riding on a horse.
He ran over quickly and shouted loudly before he could reach him: "Report, sir, the enemy on our left wing has escaped~!"
"What?" Sandos couldn't help but was stunned. He stood up on his horse, pulled out his telescope and looked to the west.
The small white phalanx near the city wall is his own soldiers, and less than a mile opposite them, the black crowd is the Derosi people.
At this moment, the black crowd was surging westward. Seeing the collapse of the Chinese army, they began to retreat without hesitation.
The Holy See soldiers who were confronting them were already chasing them.
"Sir, what should we do? Should we pursue the enemy or besiege the enemy's Dongda camp?" The officers around him looked at Sandos eagerly and asked him to make a decision.
Sandos frowned and thought for a moment, weighing in his mind which side was more important, then pointed to the west and said mightily: "The enemy camp in the east is not a concern, leave people to monitor them.
The entire army should pursue eastward and seize the enemy's center. We cannot allow the enemy to join forces again and completely defeat them. It is best to capture De Rossi."
The golden cross banner of the center of Bayer's Army began to move westward, and Cardinal Sandos led most of the troops to press forward and chase the fleeing Emperor De Rossi.
The wilderness was filled with defeated troops of the De Rossi Empire, with white soldiers of the Holy See chasing after them. Two big flags, one blue and one white, seemed to be in a race, moving quickly westward.
The soldiers of Bayer's Legion discovered at this time that the enemy's fighting ability was not very good, but his ability to escape was very good. Seeing that Emperor De Rossi was right in front of them, they were always just a little short of catching him.
The chase and escape quickly passed for several miles, and both parties were panting from exhaustion, like old dogs suffering from heatstroke.
At this time, a lightning flag suddenly appeared in front of the fleeing Emperor De Rossi, and a Semitic army rushed to the battlefield.
Emperor De Rossi moved toward the Semitic army as if he had seen a savior.
Cardinal Sandos was startled when he suddenly discovered the Semitic army. A bad idea suddenly popped into his mind: Where did this Semitic army come from? Didn't Lord Lorraine say that there was no one around for hundreds of miles?
Are you a Semitic? Have you fallen into a trap again?
Cardinal Sandos, who was alert, immediately understood: There are loopholes in the investigation~!
He immediately ordered the entire army to stop the pursuit, shrink their front, regroup, and prepare to deal with the battle with the Semites.
When the soldiers of the Bayer Legion saw the Semitic flag, they were also beating their hearts. When they heard the call, they immediately returned to the Chinese army's banner and gathered around the Chinese army.
Contrary to Cardinal Sandos's expectations, the Semitic army that suddenly appeared did not attack him, but quickly retreated after joining Emperor De Rossi.
This made Sandos stunned for a long time, and then he judged: This must be a trap by the demons~!
He had competed with the Semitic army, and those soldiers were very difficult to deal with. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were slightly stronger than the soldiers of the Bayer Legion.
"The other party must be trying to lure me into their encirclement, or to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack Delon City. This is the trick they used to defeat Rotgaron." The experienced Sandos believed that he had seen through the demon's trick.
He sneered and said to himself: "I won't be fooled~!"
Leaving an army to monitor the retreating Semites, the main force of Bayer's army immediately turned back to the city of Delon. Once the city of Delon was occupied by the Semites and the escape route was cut off, it would be him who should escape. This is what Sandos
See very clearly.
It wasn't until the next day, after the scouts carefully surveyed the surrounding area, that Cardinal Sandos realized that he had been fooled. There was a division of Semitic troops there, and he had missed the opportunity to escape.
Emperor De Rossi.
The first confrontation between the Bayer Corps and the Fourth Caribbean Division ended in this dramatic way.
At the same time, this is also the beginning of the legend of two famous troops: the Holy See Bair Corps, which is getting stronger and stronger as it fights, and the Fourth Caribbean Division, which is known as Semitic auspiciousness and fails to reinforce anyone.
