Holy Sword Dynasty

Chapter 109 Second Lovik Battle

This is a memorable day. The weapons produced by Rome Island, the originator of the world's arms dealer, have changed the course of the war for the first time. This is a great moment.

——Sickter Dom, an arms manufacturer

The three armies finally met in Lovik Province. The phalanxes of countless soldiers were arranged in the sound of drums. The light cavalry on both sides had begun to test each other. They skimmed each other's positions and dragged a burst of arrow rain to retreat back to their own positions, enjoying the beginning. Because the three horses in this battle lack the support of heavy cavalry, they lack the means of attack to break through in an instant, so infantry melee is undoubtedly the most direct way to fight.

At noon, the coach of both sides could no longer test it for various reasons, and almost at the same time ordered to start the full-line attack. The drums of both sides were beaten almost at the same time. The soldiers shouted loudly and slowly approached the other's phalanx, and the officers shouted loudly in the queue, urging their soldiers to move forward.

Soon both sides began to use magic scrolls for defense, and then began to launch magic-level attacks. Lightning and fireball beat the magic defense barrier of both sides. The soldiers inside moved forward slowly in horror and looked at the magic brushing over their heads from time to time from the cracks in the shield for fear of magic protection. The shield was penetrated, and he became a charred body that could not find his identity.

Approaching the distance of the archers, both sides began to fire ten thousand arrows at the same time, and the dense rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun. Soon the light blue magic barrier was smashed by the rain-like magic arrows. The magic released by the magician behind the army began to work, and pieces of soldiers died under the opponent's lightning and fireball attack. Griffith frequently asked Frank for help. He was worried that once he could not make a quick decision, his recruits would be in danger of complete defeat.

In fact, Frank is even more anxious at this moment. In front of his troops is the 11th Army, which is the defense and attack of the other party are almost impeccable. The traditional infantry tactics are vividly played by the 11th Legion: efficient and dense arrows counterattack, and every time he can knock down many archers in the fortress empire. , and the timely defense of the shield caused considerable losses to the 11th Legion. The whole 11th Army either retreated while fighting to lure the fortress empire, or oppressed the fortress empire forward. The well-trained movement kept this strong brigade in a very complete phalanx formation. The huge number of infantry of the fortress empire bit the turtle and had nowhere to mouth.

Frank, who wanted to keep secret weapons against his allies of the Adams Empire, finally made up his mind to completely kill the original colleagues of the damn Holy Empire opposite him.

"Order the 81st Legion to go forward, and I want to let the damn 11th Legion see the power of the fortress empire." Frank said hatefully that he still really wanted to have a unit like the 11th Army as his subordinate. Unfortunately, such an excellent force belonged to the enemy, so he had to order it to be destroyed.

"Your Excellency, the 81st Legion is a killer against Adams!" A deputy general persuaded.

"If it goes on like this, Adams and we are all done. What's the use of retaining the 81st Legion? Listen to me, the 81st Army will attack forward and keep us undefeated first. Griffrez's troops are more fragile than expected, and everyone has seen his letter of help, so there is no need to keep any killer mace. Frank gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, my lord, the 81st Legion is moving forward." The adjutant shouted loudly to the distance, and several phalanxes of the 81st Army began to move forward. On the huge regimental flag was a cross symbol, which was not the product left by God's crossing into the world, but an abstract Rome Island crossbow.

I don't know the details of the 11th Army still maintained the original tactics, but they were doomed to suffer losses this time. First of all, the two sides approached the distance where archers attacked each other again, but they were attacked by more dense arrow rain. These veteran soldiers did not understand why until the end. The number of archers in one legion can exceed two legions.

The reason is that the 81st Army did not deal with the spearmen of the cavalry. They were replaced by crossbowmen. The test proved that the crossbowmen's threat to the cavalry was significantly higher than that of the spearmen. In addition, the crossbows were loaded faster, so the firepower was more dense. Rounds of arrow rain forced the 11th Army to retreat for the first time. But the nightmare has just begun.

The slight chaos of the formation caused by the forced retreat of the 11th Army made their defense of bows and arrows bigger, while the crossbowers of the 81st Army did not stop their attack, and the 81st Army also kept moving forward slowly. They had always been the attackers, which made the 11th Army unable to leave. The range of crossbows usually only needs to arrange archers to cover the retreat of infantry. Now who dares to throw archers behind and shoot against the enemy without protection with such dense firepower?

The 11th Army, which has been fighting smoothly, was suppressed for the first time, and Powell, the commander-in-chief of the 11th Legion, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Empire, began to feel uncertain. He has always been formulating tactics around the 11th Army in his hand. His plan is to rely on the 11th Army to pester the strong fortress emperor. The national army, and then used new recruits to defeat the patchwork of Adams rebels, but now the 11th Army obviously has an unstoppable trend, which makes him anxious.

"Your Excellency, retreat." The deputy commander of the 11th Army suggested.

"Retreat? Retreat is a failure. There is no need to pursue it in the Imperial Pope's Office. General Baoken will not let me go first!" Powell, the commander of the 11th Army, said.

"Your Excellency, leave the 11th Army, you and I still have a way to live. After fighting for the 11th Legion, you and I don't even have a way to live. Bao Ken sent us here to die. We are not his direct troops, and we have been defeated, and the Holy Empire will not let us go. It's better for us to support ourselves. , stay in Lovik without the splint on both sides. When we have a chance, we will choose someone who understands to be loyal!" The deputy commander is obviously not a loyalist of the Holy Legion, suggesting.

After being silent for a while, Powell nodded and said, "Well, you're right. The 11th Army retreated, and the other troops retreated to Victor, the capital of Lovik Province.

The army of the Holy Empire began to retreat, and the coalition forces of the Adams Empire and the Fortress Empire won the second Lovik Battle. The news of Lovik's victory was sent back to the cities of Doroar and Molenko. All the people who received the news had a good idea in their minds. Now the Holy Empire The army is no longer a threat.
