"Get ready to engage the enemy!" Ailan, the leader of the ** Heavy Armor Regiment of the Third Army, looked serious. [, because he had already seen the enemy approaching from the inside of the city.
These enemies are all the main force led by Mitris! They were bitten by the main force of the Dragon City assault behind them, and it took a long time before they finally retreated to the south city wall. Previously, Ailan commanded his troops to attack the enemies outside the fortress.
At that time, it was really easy. The protection of the city wall and the absolute defensive advantage made it extremely easy for them to defend. But it was different now. Ailan knew that a hard battle was coming.
Ever since he took over General Li Lan's order, Ai Lan had been prepared to sacrifice. Like him, the regiment leader, none of his soldiers thought of completing this mission alive.
With a number of one thousand, it is difficult to resist the flanking attacks from both sides, especially when the opponent is almost in a crazy state. But they are not afraid, this is their duty. Perhaps, this will be the last step of the heavy infantry.
Who knows how glorious it will be. At this moment, all the soldiers behind the tin cans showed a proud smile on their faces.
Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!
This kind of pride only belongs to the heavy infantry.
Sonorous!
The heavy infantry did not use the swords used by the light infantry, but almost followed the example of the Euphorbia troops, using two-handed heavy halberds. This kind of halberd alone weighed twenty kilograms, and it was difficult for ordinary people to wield it.
Only these heavily armored warriors can use it.
There were no bows and arrows, no crossbow bolts, and not even shields. Apart from the thick iron halberds, the only thing they had on their bodies was the armor that protected them to the teeth.
Following Ai Lan's order, the three hundred heavily armored warriors turned around and set up defenses at the slope of the main road of the city wall. The width of this slope was about ten meters, and its height extended from the ground to the top of the south city wall, which was about ten meters.
This slope is the only large-scale thoroughfare in the south city wall. It is also the most suitable location for defense.
Three hundred heavily armored warriors were arranged in layers to secure the top of the slope. But this was not safe. Aylan also deployed a hundred heavily armored warriors to block several other passages. Nearly half of them were deployed at once
The strength of the troops makes it difficult to face the intensity of attacks outside the fortress.
Fortunately, Cotedis didn't know that Mitris in the fortress urgently needed to break through the southern city wall, so he still maintained the previous attack rhythm.
On the other side, after experiencing a decisive battle inside the fortress, Mitris's troops suddenly dropped from the previous five thousand to less than three thousand. On the way to retreat, they were bitten by the main force behind them and were unable to do so.
Not tired of fighting, the troops continued to be depleted. Fortunately, Mitris unexpectedly encountered a scattered army on the way. This army also suffered heavy casualties from the endless guerrillas in Dragon City, and the commander had to lead the troops south.
The city wall retreated, hoping to be covered by the main force.
The unexpected appearance of this unit also restored Mitris's strength to nearly 5,000. However, there were many wounded in the team, and morale was quite low. But the good news is that they finally retreated to the southern city wall. Outside the fortress
There are still 30,000 troops, so it's not like they don't have a chance to make a comeback.
The soldiers thought so, but Mitris knew that this failure was doomed. The only question was how many soldiers he could take back.
"General! General Cotedis is leading his troops to attack the city wall." A soldier of Mitris conveyed the news he got to the general. Mitris had previously worried that Cotedis, who stayed outside the fortress, would meet him.
There is no way to save him. Because anyone with a discerning eye can see the filth between the fourth prince and the Brucedale family. As a general of the fourth prince's line, Mitris naturally does not want to see Cortez. If it were not for the strong request of the Brucedale family for this expedition,
, maybe Cortez can’t even join the army.
Therefore, Mitris himself chose to lead his troops into the city instead of following the custom of leaving the commander in the rear and his lieutenants to fight in the city.
Now Cotedis leads his army to attack the southern city wall, giving Mitris a hope. He did not expect that Cotedis would actually come to save him. This also proves that Cotedis is not a fool, but indeed a real person.
actually.
At least he can understand that without Mitris, he alone cannot control this coalition.
"Quick! The front army immediately attacks the enemy from the slope. Be sure to take down the south wall!"
Mitris hoarsely ordered the troops to join the attack immediately, and cooperated with the troops outside the fortress to knock down the south wall, so that they might be able to counterattack!
By now, Li Lan's side has been somewhat exhausted. All the defenders have been sent out. Fighting continues throughout the fortress, and the two regiments of the defending third army's first division have also suffered considerable losses. There are already nearly a thousand soldiers.
Soldiers were killed or seriously injured and withdrew from the battle order. Many soldiers still chose to continue fighting after being injured because the strength of the troops was really insufficient.
Li Lan also knew that Mitris would choose to storm the southern city wall, so he ordered the main force to continuously pursue it to reduce the pressure on the heavy infantry on the city wall.
In fact, the only uncertain factor on the battlefield is the enemy force that wants to compete outside. At this time, the Adiya Fortress is no longer able to take care of the four walls. As long as Cortez abandons the south wall and turns to attack and seize other walls, then Li
Lan could only watch helplessly as the other party seized the city wall. However, due to the rapid attack of the heavy infantry regiment, which cut off the southern city wall that connected the inside and outside of the fortress, Cortez's eyes were firmly fixed here.
He couldn't just watch Mitris' troops being wiped out in front of his eyes, so he chose to storm the southern city wall.
For various reasons, Li Lan has been leading the Eastern United Army by the nose, and Li Lan has guided them every step of the way, which finally led to this situation.
At this moment, the southern city wall is in front of them, and the remnant soldiers led by Mitris see the hope of survival. As long as they can break through the southern city wall, they can escape from this terrifying fortress. The battle at the Adiya Fortress has already made them
These soldiers have experienced what is called nightmare hell. Now they just want to leave here and never want to step into the fortress again!
This thought was so strong that it caused an invisible morale to rise immediately.
rush!
The soldiers did not stop. Although they were exhausted, relying on that hope, they opened their bloodshot eyes, roared, raised their swords high, and rushed forward along the slope.
At the end of the slope, rows of heavy armored infantry were standing ready. The enemy troops swarming below made people feel a little numb. But they thought it was nothing, because they were heavy armored infantry, and their feet were standing on the ground.
Place is the strongest line of defense!
"Han Army!" A non-commissioned officer standing at the front of the defense line roared loudly with all his strength. Unlike other soldiers, he did not wear that thick helmet. His tough face made it difficult to let people know that he had strong combat power.
The soldiers were connected together. But at this time, amidst the roars, the handsome face in the past looked very ferocious.
Following his roar, a roar suddenly erupted from the tin can behind him.
"mighty!"
This is the slogan that represents the most passionate and highest morale of Dragon City soldiers. Whenever these four words appear, Dragon City will burst out with the strongest morale, no matter what situation it is in.
Wow!
The three rows of heavy infantry in the front row invariably raised the front end of the heavy halberd in their hands while roaring. Although compared to the pikemen phalanx, this defense method is somewhat insignificant, but in this small place
Slopes are indeed the most suitable way to defend.
The black front of the heavy halberd glows with a chilling cold light in the sun. Most people will subconsciously stop just seeing this posture. But this is completely useless to those Eastern United Army who are already in a state of madness.
Effect. They rushed up the slope like crazy, even when faced with a defense line similar to a forest of guns, they still did not slow down, and even accelerated the pace of the charge!
This kind of madness is indeed terrifying. But it also has no effect on the heavy armored infantry.
Ahhhh...
boom!
Pfft...
The soldiers at the front suddenly changed from high speed to stagnant after hitting the tip of the halberd. Then the roar stopped abruptly and was replaced by a chilling hiss. This was the sound made when blood gushes out.
sound.
The force of the impact was so great that the heavily armored soldiers in the front row were a little unable to control themselves. Fortunately, the comrades behind them withstood their bodies and did not let them fall. You must know that if this armor fell, then
It takes a lot of effort for a person to stand up. This can almost be a death sentence for a soldier on the battlefield.
The enemies charging madly turned the battle line into a hell in an instant. Corpses, broken limbs, and blood mixed into a muddy swamp. However, this did not matter to the heavily armored warriors of Dragon City.
But for the Eastern Union Army soldiers rushing up the slope, there were some problems.
The blood flowed down the slope, making it slippery. Many soldiers who were rushing to the net accidentally slipped and fell on the slope. This fall caused great harm to the people behind them.
An accident. The soldiers who had no time to react were tripped by the fallen soldiers in front of them. Then all the soldiers fell on the slope. Some people accidentally fell from the edge of the slope. Fortunately, the height was not high when they fell.
It's okay, but if you are unlucky and fall from a high place, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.
One accident after another caused many casualties to the soldiers led by Mitris, but the most important thing was that these accidents disrupted the continuity of the attack and could not cause continuous waves of attacks, which would cause great harm to the defense.
The heavy armored infantry brings breathing time and opportunities. Especially the soldiers on the front line can use this short gap to replace their comrades behind them, thus increasing the continuous strength of the defense.
Time passed little by little, and the two sides continued to fight inside and outside the southern city wall. Although the defensive heavy infantry blocked the waves of attacking waves, their casualties became more and more serious as time went by.
From a thousand at the beginning, there are still more than 600 people who can barely fight, which can barely complete the two lines of defense.
Mitris' face was pale, and he looked at the heavy armored infantry on the city wall as if they were possessed by the God of War, his eyes a little dazed...
"This is the absolute line of defense..." Li Lan looked at the heavily armored warriors covered in blood on the city wall from a distance, and the blood in his heart suddenly surged.
He turned around, grabbed the horn of a messenger next to him, put it to his mouth, and blew hard with all his strength.
woo woo woo woo……
A vast horn sounded, and with this horn, the entire Adiya Fortress remembered the sky-shaking roar:
Han army!
mighty!
