Chapter 18 The division heads up

When Dias saw Winter leading his army out of the battle, he laughed and said, "Winter! Your left and right army have a total of six divisions, and 55,000 people have been killed by us and wiped out all the troops. You should surrender quickly and surrender to Princess Anne! Princess Anne is the real heir to the throne, and that Wales is just a rebellion to murder his brother!" His voice was loud and he heard from afar to the ears of the middle army soldiers who had already begun to form a square formation at the gate of the town.

"What? The left and right sides have been defeated?"

"That means we are fighting alone now?"

"But why does the enemy still seem to have 40,000 people? Did they not lose much after two consecutive battles?"

When the soldiers of the Central Army heard the news, they immediately discussed it and their morale was stagnant.

When Winter saw Dias say this, he knew it would be bad. The defeat of the left and right armies was only the officers above the brigade commander informed the truth, and neither the soldiers nor the grassroots officers informed him of the truth. They were afraid of affecting morale, but they did not expect Dias to shout out loudly.

But now it won’t work if you deny it right now. After all, it’s a bloody fact. Winter can’t do such a lie in person. He immediately shouted: “Dias! Why did Del hide and dare not see me? But he sent you out here to clamor. I want to see how powerful your Lightning Army is, whether it is my opponent of the Rock Army! I will send my First Division to challenge you!”

After saying that, Winter waved his hand and signaled the First Division to move forward to attack. This First Division was the division he had been in before he became the commander of the legion. In terms of equipment and military qualities, he was the strongest in the entire Rock Legion.

Mitterrand was the deputy commander of the First Division and a fellow villager of Winter. This time, by adjusting personnel, he also used Winter's strong promotion to become a regular player. Since he did not make many military achievements, he was somewhat controversial within the division. This battle with the Lightning Army, he believed that it gave him a chance to calm the internal criticism of him. He had always been eager to win in the battle to prove that he was capable of doing this position.

"Cavals are distributed on both wings!"

"The gun and shield soldiers are in the first three rows!"

"Arrowers and spearmen follow!"

"Keep the formation and don't disperse! Follow the pace of the large army!"

Mitterrand issued one order after another.

"Mr. Roger, Commander of the Dias Legion, please let me meet Mitterrand!" Simon asked for battle with a longing look on his face.

"They came to the First Division. The division commander was Mitterrand, my classmate in the military academy. Let me go to the First Division! See which one is the real First Division!"

Roger was actually speechless when he heard this. In his opinion, the enemy dared to challenge 40,000 people on his side with one division. He only needed four divisions on his side to surround him. I believe that in only two hours, the first division would defeat the entire army. However, in the mainland, in field battles, such as the same level and number of troops often occur. There are situations like them that each set up a division to challenge the team to determine the outcome.

It is probably like the kind of generals from both sides in ancient times, in front of two armies, the generals of both sides fought one by one to decide the outcome. Roger thought secretly.

"Brother Roger, look..." Diaz turned his inquiring eyes to Roger.

"Then let the commander of the Simon Division come on! It's okay to test their strength. But just click." Roger nodded helplessly and agreed. In fact, he prefers to win with wisdom. Such battles that are upright and tactical in front are not suitable for him.

Simon was overjoyed and immediately led his First Division to rush forward to meet the enemy. The formation he set out was similar to Mitterrand, and the cavalry was arranged on both wings, with shield soldiers and spearmen leading the formation in the middle to defend against the raids of the opponent's cavalry. Then, after these heavy infantry were archers.

"I am really a classmate who graduated from a military academy. The troops were all arranged in the same formation." Roger couldn't help but yawn. Although he had not started fighting yet, he could basically predict the results.

Sure enough, after the two sides fought, they routinely shot each other with bows and arrows, then threw javelins, and then heavy infantry went forward to fight hand in hand. Then, Mitterrand's cavalry arranged on both wings were dispatched to attack Simon's flank. Simon had long expected this move, so he also asked the cavalry on both wings to attack to intercept... The two sides fought fiercely in the middle of the battlefield. However, Simon's troops had already experienced two battles, and the soldiers had been tested in blood. Although Mitterrand's army was well-equipped, it had not officially fought a war for a long time, and their experience was not as rich as Simon's army. The final battle result also illustrates the above gap. Simon exchanged for Mitterrand's death and wounding more than 3,000 people at the cost of death and casualties of more than 2,000 people. He barely calculated a small victory. Later, the two sides saw that the sky was getting darker, and then they withdrew their troops back to the camp.

Roger returned to the camp, Simon walked into Roger's camp with dust and sweat, and said with shame: "Mr. Roger, I'm sorry! Simon failed the high hopes of you and the commander of Dias, and failed to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop..."

"Forget it, it's okay! The enemy is the original garrison troops stationed in the capital. It's good that you can defeat him a little. It's probably a formal battle from tomorrow. The battle situation is still within our control..." Roger comforted.

The next day, the Lightning Army took the initiative to capture Hupan Town in one fell swoop. There were still shield soldiers and spearmen in front, followed by several rows of archers, but heavy infantry were already followed. There were still cavalry on both wings to prevent the cavalry of the middle army from coming out of the town to raid. Under Simon's command, they came with a prosperous army and high morale. Flags were flying everywhere outside the town, and the formation was firm, and their power was enough to make people feel domineering aura that could not be fought against and could not compete with them. This was also the embodiment of their confidence in winning the whole army after they won two consecutive battles.

Winter, Mitterrand, Jack and other generals stood on a high platform at the gate of the town. Everyone looked like earth, and looked at the lightning army outside the town with fear.
