Chapter 43 The First Battle of Lovik

Sir, Mr. Claude's sister was also killed in the battle. Mr. Claude ordered you to take over the 23rd Army and stand by and wait for help. Adams will never take a step back!" The messenger added that he vaguely said the reason why the commander did not die in the barracks.

"Tell Claude that no army can defend the Holy First Cavalry Legion without relying on the wall, which is suicide! Our army will slowly retreat to the nearby Domon Mountain and try to defend for 1 to 2 days. This is the best estimate. If we can't retreat there this morning, please ask Mr. Claude not to rely on the 23rd Legion, because the 23rd Army will no longer exist at that time!" Roderick said.

"sor!" The messenger wanted to say something else, but Roderick stopped him by hand: "Just remember my words and pass them on to Claude!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger retreated.

"Order the commander of the 3rd Regiment to divide the reserve team to the other four regiments and tell the regiment commander that I will countercharge with him and the reserve of the 4th Regiment of the 1st Regiment, 4th Regiment, repel the First Cavalry Army, and cover the retreat to the Domon Mountains!" After the four messengers left, Rodrick asked the guards beside him while wearing armor: "Lor, how many years have you been with me?" Three years, sir!" The guard replied. I hope it's not the last year." Roderick said casually, "Go and tell everyone in the Legion headquarters, sword, and go with me." Yes!" The guard turned out of the tent, Roderick threw some documents into the brazier, sighed, and turned around and made a big account.

Hundreds of soldiers gathered outside the tent, including gangs, shoemakers, hairdressers, and clergy. Most of them don't even have armor. The weapons here are not only soldiers' standard swords, but also people's weapons are axes, and some people's weapons are hammers, which is unbearable. Roderick turned his horse seriously and said loudly, "Soldiers, gentlemen, on the way to the rescue, General Lance died in the battle. Today will be the darkest day in Adams' history. We will hold up the last light for everyone!"

"Revenge for General Lance!" Several soldiers howled, so most of the rest were driven up and shouted revenge, as Roderick rushed in the direction of the First Cavalry.

The soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Holy Empire obviously did not expect that the 23rd Infantry Regiment, which was immediately defeated, would have the courage to fight back, and were forced to retreat and reorganize the charge formation. After a short break, the remnants of the 1st Infantry Regiment were ordered to retreat to the front line of Mount Domon. The wounded regiment commander was appointed as the acting deputy commander to be responsible for After Roderick personally led the regimental reserve team of three regiments, the war had been going on for four hours, and the 23rd Infantry Regiment lost at least 6,000 people and caused 900 casualties to the First Cavalry Corps of the Holy Empire.

In the afternoon, the First Cavalry Corps followed to cover up the 23rd Infantry Corps. Due to Roderick's desperate resistance, the results were not great. Chief Bowen, the commander-in-chief of the Holy Imperial Army, who had just received news from the front line, ordered the Third Magic Legion to go out to assist the First Cavalry to expand the results. Due to the poor news Tong, the Third Magic Corps and another infantry regiment barely rushed to the battlefield until ten minutes in the evening.

"Your Excellency, you can't let the 23rd Legion retreat to the Domon Mountains, so that we can't give full play to the advantages of our cavalry and magic." The deputy commander suggested to the butcher Baroque. Seeing the cooked 23rd Infantry Regiment fly, Baroque, the commander of the army known as the butcher, couldn't sit still and ordered loudly: "The first cavalry regiment charge, be sure to pester the 23rd legion." Then a messenger strangled the reins, turned the horse's head, and ran wildly to the distance, running wildly shouting: "The army commander ordered the first cavalry regiment to charge!" Then the harmony sounded one after another in the distance: "Go to the light war, rise the magic shield, bless the gods! Charge!" God bless! Charge!" The First Cavalry Regiment of the First Legion of the Holy Empire, that is, the ace cavalry regiment mounted by the six-shoe bright war horse of Warcraft, and the Templar Regiment of the Pope. Finally, I went into battle on this evening!

"Sir, the impact formation has been changed on the opposite side, and it seems that the forward troops have also been replaced. This is the third time this afternoon. It seems that they are also anxious." A soldier said to Roderick.

"It seems like this. Everyone hold on, retreat a few kilometers, and then enter the Dormon Mountains. They can't help us." Roderick patiently inspired the 23rd Army guard, and the only thing they have left now is courage.

"Your excellency, the other side's army does not seem to be ordinary cavalry." A sharp-eyed soldier found the difference.

Roderick carefully looked at the cavalry that was gathering on the opposite side, and a cool air spread all over his body. He turned around and shouted, "Put all the heavy shields to the front and give up the defense on both sides. The Lancers lined up in a dense line and shot out all the bows and arrows. Don't save, come on!"

Just as Roderick arranged his defense in a panic, a harsh roar suddenly broke out in the position of the sacred empire opposite: "God bless! Charge!"

It's over, Roderick thought to himself. The sound of horses' hoofs is getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of the 23rd Legion also found the difference between these cavalry. Although the six-shoe bright war horses are grass-eating monsters, they are full of armor, and their strength and running speed are more than twice that of horses. The knights on them are even more heavily armored and invulnerable. They are almost impeccable in supporting magic defense. The existence of attack.

At this time, the 23rd Army fought, lacked bows and arrows, no support, and no rest. It was already a remnant army on the verge of collapse, while the First Cavalry Regiment was a hundred-war lion, which was not comparable at all. So the battle ended very quickly.

The First Cavalry Regiment easily smashed the broken defense line commanded by Rodrick, bit the 3rd Infantry Regiment, and then joined the battle. The 23rd Legion, which lacked magic defense measures, suffered heavy losses, and the 3rd Regiment was completely destroyed, and the regiment commander was killed. The broken troops led by Roddrick were completely destroyed, and Roddrick's battle Death. After one day of fighting, only the remnants of the 1st Infantry Regiment, the remnants of the 4th Infantry Regiment, and the 400-strong 23rd Infantry Regiment of the 5th Infantry Regiment and 20,000 people retreated to the Domon Mountains. After entering the mountainous area, the total number of remaining troops was less than 4,000, including more than 1,200 wounded and the 5th Regiment. The regimental commander died in the battle and the commander of the first regiment was injured.

At the same time, on the afternoon of the same day, while the 23rd Infantry Regiment was fighting and fighting blood, the 43rd Cavalry Regiment of Adams belonged to was defeated by the 22nd Cavalry Regiment of the Holy Empire and was defeated by the 22nd Cavalry Regiment of the Holy Empire. The remnants retreated to Dororeal, and the main force of Adams was defeated. The commander died, and the Holy Empire won a full victory in the battle. Adams' army was forced to abandon the whole territory of Lovik, and the first Lovik battle ended.

Then Adams adjusted his strategy and reduced all his troops to the defense in the big city. The walls were clear, and the war entered a bloody stage of struggle.
