By the time Wissam realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Eighty steps later, the two armies charged each other for less than ten breaths. At this moment, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired.
Five thousand mercenaries and six thousand Tianwei troops of the Royal Camp Division collided on this plateau...
Blood flowed all over the ground, debris scattered...
One side is an army that has fought hundreds of battles, and the other side is a desperado!
Mercenaries have a long history in the West, especially after the fall of the Roman Empire and the Warring States Period.
Chaos and turmoil also led to the birth of various mercenaries. In Western texts, mercenaries mean "profit-seekers".
Small-scale ones serve individuals, while large-scale ones directly become state thugs. They regard "working for money and risking their lives" as their life creed, struggling on the edge of politics, and living all over the West.
If this group of people who work hard to make a living can become bigger and stronger and are employed by the state, their combat effectiveness must be recognized.
Judging from the performance of the first contact, the power of the Western mercenaries is no less than that of the Tianwei Army.
Both sides collided, and both sides paid the price of hundreds of lives.
Each other's strong offensives also stalled, and no one was able to break into the other's lineup.
However, both sides have been in battle for a long time and have long been accustomed to such tragic scenes. They are both extremely courageous warriors and immediately launched the second round of offensive without even needing to command.
Facing the heavy armor of Tianwei Army, the mercenaries all chose to fight with blunt weapons.
The mighty Tianwei army held their spears high and advanced step by step.
The two armies fought fiercely together, not flinching and fighting bravely to take the lead.
"These lunatics, they are going to die!" The Lion King Khan of the Gaochang Uighurs was stunned by the tragic battle situation. He was the one who cared most about the victory or defeat at the moment.
The commander-in-chief of the Western Allied Forces was blindly confident in the followers of the Great Food Method, and Li Chuyun also had full confidence in his own elite.
The Lion King, who knew that Goeiji's performance was related to the overall situation, could not be so calm.
The cavalry on the left and right wings were pulling and pulling anxiously, and the two troops in front of them were fighting to the death as soon as they came face to face. It was not at the same level.
The Lion King looked at the tragic battlefield, not daring to blink. Suddenly, a trace of joy flashed across his eyes, and a hint of fear and joy.
He saw Li Chuyun's reliance and saw the terrifying nature of this imperial camp Si Tianwei's army.
In such a fierce confrontation, the pace of the Tianwei Army's lineup was not chaotic at all. As soon as a fallen soldier fell, someone immediately stepped up to replace it. In addition, there were rescuers for injured soldiers, without any chaos.
On the contrary, the vanguard troops of the West are already exhausted...
Wolf King Yasen looked down at the battlefield, his lips trembling slightly.
He was originally from Macchiato. He rebelled with Vasily the Bronze Hand in Asia Minor. After his defeat, he began his life in exile. He relied on more than a dozen remnants of the Blood Wolf Regiment and developed it little by little until it reached its current scale. Although it is not as big as those
Supported by the state and employing tens of thousands of state mercenaries, the Blood Wolf Group also has a certain prestige.
However, the battle lasted only half a quarter of an hour, and more than 300 people had been lost.
This was the first time he had encountered such a tragic battle in his half-life.
The impulse brought by the huge reward suppressed this cannibalistic battlefield, and a feeling of regret surged into my heart.
"leader!"
A man, covered in blood, suddenly rushed from a distance, "There is a definite military report from the front. Captain Cáceres of the fifth team was killed by the enemy and died of his injuries!"
Yassen's heart trembled and he shouted: "Where is Wissam? Let Wissam take the lead in the charge. If we win this battle, I will promote him to deputy leader."
He knows the virtues of the soldiers he single-handedly leads.
It is brutal, murderous, and fierce by nature, but it cannot last long and cannot fight a war of attrition.
This is also the weak nature of most mercenaries. They fight for money, not die for it.
If people are really going to die, what's the use of money?
For the sake of money, they can sacrifice their lives and treat killing as a daily routine, but when it comes to fighting to the death, they will be afraid to death.
After all, they are just mercenaries and have no sense of national justice or national belief.
If the situation is not broken, terrible things will happen.
Wissam is recognized as the strongest First Warrior, and only he can hope to break the unfavorable deadlock.
But soon he got new news...
"Report! Captain Wissam is not on the front line..."
"Not here?"
Yassen said sharply: "What do you mean by absence?"
"The soldiers on the front line said that Captain Wissam said he had something to discuss with the leader and had already retreated!"
Yasen instantly understood that the other party had run away!
He could hold on for a while without giving the order, but with this order, the news of the first soldier's escape could no longer be concealed.
The morale of the military was shaken.
Yasen, the wolf king himself, has also thought about retreating. He can achieve such a status only by relying on his group of people. If he really wants to stay here, will those people in Da Shifa keep their promise?
Just as he hesitated, he suddenly discovered that soldiers were constantly turning around and running back from the front line.
Li Chuyun, who had experienced many battles, immediately issued an order to attack the Blood Wolf Regiment after he noticed something strange about the Blood Wolf Regiment.
Facing the continuous and ruthless attacks of the Tianwei Army, they, who were already timid, collapsed psychologically.
Seeing this, Yassen also lost his will to fight, and regardless of Aryan and Peilong who were charging at him together, he led the defeated soldiers back.
Rudeus Guerra, who was sitting in the Chinese army, looked at the tragic scene he had never seen before, and also sighed at the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries. He thought that if he won this battle, he would offer inducements to this group of mercenaries, so that
They fought for the Great Food Country, and perhaps with this victory, they could regain the glory of the Great Food Country.
Who would have thought that before such thoughts could be settled, the situation would take a turn for the worse and they would actually retreat!
"Asshole! I knew these people were unreliable!"
Rudeus Guerra shouted angrily.
Lieutenant General Neculelia Bent was the one who made the decision, and immediately said: "My lord, let Yaros go up to support, send an order to Yassen, let him go up, insist on retreating, engage in military law, kill directly!"
Rudeus Guerra knew the key to this battle, and he followed his words with a cold face.
When the order was passed to the Yaros tribe, this devout believer in the Great Food Law was already filled with righteous indignation.
There are three types of believers in the Great Food Law who come to participate in the war. They are mainly believers gathered from all over the West, followed by scattered believers from various places, and then there are believers who want to take advantage of the battlefield but lack faith.
Yaros is the former. His parents died in the war. He grew up in a temple. He was brainwashed from an early age to become a temple protector and never showed mercy to the heretics.
Unbelieving mercenaries like Yassen are already unnecessary in the eyes of Alos. Now they are still retreating from the battle. How can they be polite to them? They ride on their horses and shout: "Those who flee in battle will be punished by the true god..."
Rudeus Guerra is the vizier of the Great Edict. In the teachings of the Great Edict, the caliph is the messenger of God, and the vizier is the assistant of the messenger of God, conveying God's will on behalf of the caliph.
In Jaros' heart, Rudeus Guerra's words are equal to God's will.
He roared and slashed wildly with iron rods, followed closely by hundreds of Arab soldiers. The first hundred or so soldiers who ran back were not killed by the enemy's swords, guns and swords, but died by the swords of their own people.
Yassen looked at this scene and shouted: "Yaros!"
Yaros said with an expressionless face: "Charge forward, or die!"
Yassen looked at the dense crowd of followers of the Great Food Law behind Yalos. They looked at him with anger, as if he had committed a heinous crime.
With no other choice, Yasen roared with tears in his eyes, led the retreating soldiers, and pressed forward again.
Because of Yassen's retreat, Aryan and Perron also lost their will to fight and began to retreat. However, seeing Yaros mercilessly killing the retreating troops, they all felt that they were in a desperate situation, so they could only bite the bullet and turn back to fight again.
When the two armies fight, they must work together in one go.
The mercenaries were not good at fighting to the death, and now they were forced to die. Their combat effectiveness was not half as good as before, leaving the Heavenly Power Army and the followers of the Great Food Law to perish little by little...
The mighty Tianwei army and Da Shifa finally came into contact with each other.
Rudeus Guerra looked at the annihilation of the mercenaries. He didn't feel any distress at all. Instead, he was a little happy. In this way, he didn't have to give all the money and goods he promised.
Thinking about the poor performance of the mercenaries, Rudeus Guerra said to Neculelia Bent: "You can still rely on your own people!"
He was waiting for Neculelia Bent's reply, but he saw fear in the other person's eyes. He looked along the other person's gaze, and his face turned pale for a moment. Wherever he looked, there were disciples of the Great Food Dharma.
Just like wheat, it falls one by one.
Facing the mighty army of Yu Tian, the believers had no room to fight back...
"The overall situation has been decided!"
Li Chuyun looked at the Lion King who was stunned by this turn of events, and asked a question he had asked Zhe Yuxun a long time ago: "What does the Great Khan think I am the strongest in China?"
Without waiting for the Lion King to answer, Li Chuyun asked and answered himself: "Infantry!"
Not to mention the current Dayu, in history, the Gaoliang River Chariot God led hundreds of thousands of exhausted troops to attack Youzhou. The powerful force left over from the Five Dynasties of martial arts used footwork to suppress the cavalry and defeated the Youzhou garrison in the early stages of the battle.
Flee in despair.
Even though Brother Yeluxiu hit Zhao Kuangyi with an arrow in the butt with an eye-popping side attack, which frightened the Song Dynasty official and fled in panic on a donkey cart, the ownerless Song army was still able to retreat on its own and only lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
.
There is a saying that the combat effectiveness of the Song Army during this period still had the style of the Five Dynasties, and its combat effectiveness was very strong.
Dayu's martial arts style has not diminished, and they have more military faith, which is better than the infantry of the Song Army in history.
Mercenaries with rich combat experience can still fight against Tianwei's army for several rounds with their fierce and cruel nature. Why can the believers of the irregular army resist?
It is true that they have the bonus of faith, have the characteristics of not fearing death, and can indeed kill most of their opponents with their human sea tactics.
But against the well-trained and fearless imperial camp Si Tianwei's army, they would only be slaughtered.
They had neglected battle formation training and did not even know how to break through the armored defense of the Mighty Heavenly Army. The swords they prepared themselves could not break through the defense at all. Only a few people with blunt weapons could bring a small amount of damage to the Mighty Heavenly Army.
