Indeed, past the 100,000 man level of war, high-ranking squire level strength is just enough to protect themselves. Caesar went on to talk about how he and the rest of the people under the leadership of Uncle York were fighting against the Shilohs in the left plain of Gordon's Highlands, and how the beautiful yellowish plains killed into a sea of dark red blood and corpses, and that the war was not yet over.
On the first day their squad was reduced by two, and on the third day there was another reduction. Until after only a week, there were only four people left in York's squad. The servants were all dead, even the third-class soldiers were also dead and disabled, the disabled one because the squad is in the heart of the battlefield, they can not bring him back to the rear, after seeking his consent, by York hand, give him a quick death, both sides do not need to be captured, everyone knows this. Instead of being captured and then abused to death, it was better to finish the life himself.
York's squad in the later battle, although only left York a private with three third-class soldiers, but their fighting strength is still there, fewer people tacit understanding is higher, a few people surprisingly did not attrition in the later battle.
War, after all, is war, full of uncertainties, and after a month of non-stop fighting all the armies broke up, and the vast Gordon Highlands carried more than 100,000 men and corpses. Caesar was on night duty when their battalion was raided, and in the midst of the melee Caesar was unable to return to his tent to join Uncle York and the others.
Years of marching and fighting at night and a young body had given Caesar good night vision, but on that night he would have preferred not to have it, for there were dangers everywhere, and there were so many enemies that Caesar couldn't see the end of the sea of men, and he fought and retreated, ran and ran, and by the next day he didn't even know where he was, and there were battles in every part of the place. Caesar then joined one of the battles close by.
In the evening, after a day and night of raiding was over, the enemy withdrew, Caesar sat down on the ground with his fellow soldiers on the side of the Garrels, and around the campfire Caesar inquired of his fellow soldiers that he had actually run into the area of operations of the Mighty Tiger Legion, but that they had broken up as well, and that there were amongst them the 2nd Regiment of the Mighty Tiger Legion, the 3rd Regiment, and even a couple of logistical corps.
Of course just most of the people were from the Mighty Tiger Legion, but there were also quite a few people from the Eagle Legion and the War Wolf Legion. After everyone had worked together for a whole day of battle, and after packing up the bodies of their comrades and settling the wounded soldiers, a total of more than two hundred people sat down to eat together at the call of one of the only first captains at the time. Caesar had been up all day and all night, and after two mouthfuls of broth fell into a deep sleep.
There is one advantage to not having your own immediate officer, Caesar don't have to be on night duty, the officer doesn't know him. In the next few days there were battles every day, Caesar of course can not separate from the group to find their battalion, so the two hundred men, under the leadership of the name of Forsy, the tiger's first captain continued to fight, this time has lost contact with the military headquarters, carrier pigeons have long since died out, and they do not know where to send people to get the order of the battle, Forsy led them to the heart of Gordon Highlands, that is, the location of the Lion Legion march. .
The Lion Legion was the ace legion of the Garrel Kingdom, and the place where they fought was also the place where the showdown was about to take place. The first reason Caesar and his makeshift unit had to come was one, after so many years of war, everyone had fought out their blood, and the cowards had died out long ago. Two, being away from the group for more than twenty days would be ruled as missing.
Missing is only a little better than desertion, desertion needless to say, after being sentenced, the family is relegated to slavery, and after being caught, they have to be beheaded in front of the barracks . Missing soldiers, on the other hand, were compensated with a small pension for their families, firstly, because the nobles were guided by the principle of not spending money if they could; Secondly, because the military department was unable to determine whether the missing person had escaped, been captured, or died.
Anyway in this case most soldiers could not stay out of the army for too long, especially those of civilian origin. Caesar had been in the army for two years at the time and knew this. The big deal was to die, Caesar thought more than once. After all, the pension he received for dying in battle was enough to keep a family of three from starving for five years.
In the late autumn of the 1345th year of the Ormorian calendar, in a corner of the central plains of the Gordon Highlands in the western province of Shiloh, an army of 3,000 men of Garrel fought with an army of 2,000 men of Shiloh, and a lion roared on the black battle flag of Garrel, indicating that this army belonged to the Lion Legion, the ace legion of the Kingdom of Garrel. On the other red battle flag, a pale Bear roared up to the sky, this was Charlotte's ace legion, the Battle Bear Legion.
The battle had been going on for an unknown length of time, and the total number of five thousand men nearly a regiment created this mill of flesh and blood, this side surrounded the other by sheer numbers, and that side was sustained by more supernatural power than the other seemed to be. Five thousand were killed to less than three thousand, and by this time there was no longer any distinct division between enemy and self on the field of battle, all were fighting his nearest enemy, slashing with their swords, stabbing with their knives, gnashing with their teeth, using anything and everything, everyone was stained with blood, their own or others'.
The first thing Caesar's team saw in this makeshift group he was in was this sight, and the leader, Grand Captain Forsy, immediately galvanized his fighting energy, spurred his warhorse, and led them into the fray.
Such a large group of people appeared, the commanders of the two armies have found, the Shiloh people were already struggling to support, see the enemy army came to reinforcements almost all have a death wish, because everyone is in the melee, can not be withdrawn, there is no back road, the Shiloh people have nothing to worry about more ferocious, and so the war heated up even more. And the commander of the Garrel Kingdom is the corps leader of the third corps of the Lion Legion, a high-ranking knight squire level powerhouse.
His third corps and this force of Shiloh fought back and forth for half a month in Gordon Highlands, this was a wonderful opportunity to wipe out the living forces of Shiloh's army, as a high level he knew that the Garrel Kingdom had one more province than Shiloh's Kingdom, the national power was stronger than Shiloh's, and there was a two year drought that broke out in the country, the civilians couldn't eat basically, they could only come and eat the military food, and recruiting was even less of a problem, so the kingdom's high level was intending to forcefully eat Shiloh Kingdom.
Don't look at the number of casualties of the 3rd Corps he led were more than half, but as long as he defeat the enemy on the other side and broke up their numbers, he was meritorious. His heart rejoiced at the sight of this reinforcement of unknown origin, it was the final blow.
In fact, according to the normal practice of the old soldier should be to meet this scale of melee can avoided, but was found by both sides is not so, the Shiloh people thought that the enemy army came to reinforcements, do the beast of burden instead of charging towards them, the commanding officer of the Garrel army military chiefs are also happy to reduce their own losses, will be the enemy to Caesar them to draw to, this led Caesar their Forsy Grand captain, not a rash youth or a nobleman who came down from above to gild the lily, not knowing the cruelty of war at all, but instead wailing and rushing up, there was no way, Caesar and the others had to go on.
Sure enough, the moment the two armies fought, the situation became lopsided, on one side was Shiloh's hundred battles strong military ace division, on the other side was a temporary formation of miscellaneous troops, less than a week of acquaintance, did not dare to rest assured that their backs were handed over to someone else, everyone fought on their own, becoming the fish and meat on the board of Shiloh's people. As for that Forsy r, he was the first one to collide with Shiloh's army, fighting energy gave him stronger power, which also gave him stronger reaction force, after holding up a short time later, that one flew more than five meters high the head should be his.
The commander was killed, more than 200 people in the team like cutting wheat was put down layer by layer, Caesar is in the center of the team, he watched the temporary captain's head fly up, watching the surrounding comrades one by one fell, Caesar then joined the army has been three years, hands have not been stained with blood, the number of people who have killed can also be put together a ten-person squad, before it is his turn to kill other people, and now it is the turn of other people to kill him. Although he has long not taken life and death seriously, but when faced with death still can not do so calm.
The ace army is really an ace army, although the fierce battle for half a month, Shiloh's Battle Bear legion fighting strength is still not to be underestimated, the lion legion's third regiment's corps chief took a look and felt that it's almost time, with a wave of his hand, he led his side of the regiment's close guard cavalry team to charge up.
Caesar and their current situation is not optimistic, more than 200 people were killed by the Shiloh people less than 100, the commander of the Battle Bear Legion is also a high-ranking Knight Squire level powerhouse, he led less than 300 people under his command to break up Caesar and their formation, and the middle-ranking Knight Squire level Forsy's brigadier general was the one who was involved in a slash and chopped off his head.
And at that moment the Third Corps' Commander led his troops of more than 700 men to surround the Shilohs again; Yes, the Third Corps was using Caesar and the sudden foreign aid as a decoy.
'Kill kill kill', Caesar frantically waved his iron sword, this kind of close combat is not suitable for lance, his lance was thrown away when he just start fight, Caesar knew that they were surrounded, he did not dare to retain his strength, moreover, he did not dare to stay in one position, he fought and retreated, the hope of living in which he did not know, he just need to do to live longer than others.
Even though they were surrounded, this improvised team still exploded its potential, more than 100 people had formed a circle to block the Shiloh's desperate attack, Caesar was at this time near the main battlefield position between the Battle Bear Legion and the Lion Legion. This was also the outermost area of the battle.
Caesar's strength was only middle-of-the-road in this team that had been improvised, and even worse. Although he didn't have strong strength, he had a decent brain. He knew that it was useless to hide in the innermost part of the room, he would just die a little bit later, the attacking stance of these Shiloh people with red eyes, not caring about their own injuries, was by no means something that his temporary team could resist, if he wanted to live now, he had to run to the place where there were more people from his own side.
Naturally, it is not to be surrounded by a large number of people to run but to run towards the outside of the encirclement, and only by rushing outward can we see the hope of life.
