Valard, who had gone out of the city to command, didn't care about the enemy gathering the remnants at this time. Because even if he wanted to, he couldn't. After all, he and his men came out an hour late. They couldn't catch up now.
He directed the two troops to kill the wounded soldiers they found along the way. The heads of these enemy soldiers were the guarantee of Valard's future military exploits. After the "prisoner of war" operation was gradually over, they couldn't help but look at the enemy's headquarters that had already formed a defensive array …
The headquarters, which was built by the river, was well protected. But after the troops at the front retreated, there were only about seven thousand soldiers left. Of the twenty thousand soldiers who attacked, about three thousand were killed or injured by the artillery, more than four thousand were killed or trampled on each other, and less than six thousand were scattered on the battlefield. It was likely that they would never be found again in the future.
The biggest problem of "miscellaneous soldiers" was poor cohesion. Once there was a "bad wind" situation, there was no loyalty at all. As a commander, Udora was mentally prepared to accept failure. But the problem was that her army didn't even have time to fight at all. Just ten minutes of shelling turned her troops upside down. No one could accept this kind of gap calmly …
"It's not a spell? What the hell is that?! Why does Lassiman attack in this way? "
Udora's face was pale. Although there were still enough soldiers, she knew that she couldn't take the initiative to attack at this time. The low morale was one thing. The most important thing was that they still didn't know what kind of weapon the enemy used.
If they couldn't fight back, they couldn't fight back even if they had 100,000 soldiers.
"Madam, according to the report of the deserters, we can be sure that this thing is probably not a spell, but the power of the explosion is similar to a spell. The area where a team of priests was was attacked, but there was no explosion. This shows that the 'anti-magic terra' can still work …"
The words of the advisor made Udora finally slightly relieved. Because it meant that the most fundamental advantage in their hands didn't disappear, and they could still reverse the situation.
Before there was more discussion, a soldier rushed in and reported, "Madam, the enemy has surrounded us!"
"So what if they surrounded us? Get into formation and beat them back! "
Udora clenched her fists with a gloomy expression, "Hit him hard!"
The horn sounds again and again. At this time, of course, Udora will not let the remnants turn around to fight. War is not about letting everyone attack at once. Therefore, there are more than 3,000 reserve troops outside the headquarters that have not been moved. At this time, the morale of the remnants of the army was low. The archers were adjusted to the center so that they could support the two sides at any time. The black-robed priests stood at their respective positions with their staffs in hand. The morale of the soldiers on the outside was not low. In addition, they were considered the elite troops of their respective countries. The army looked extremely solemn.
On the other hand, Lassman's troops, which were advancing from two directions, gradually converged and stopped advancing.
Naturally, Valard didn't go into battle himself. He led a reserve troop of more than two thousand soldiers and stood not far away from the army of the Kingdom of Karen. His orders were relayed through the scouts who were running back and forth.
The area of the enemy's headquarters in front of them was very small, and there were only three thousand soldiers standing in a circle outside. Meanwhile, the remnants of the troops that had been gathered were clearly in a mess. They were covered in mud and some were even wounded as they walked towards the rear.
Udora did not transport all the troops across the river. Instead, she left more than eight thousand auxiliary troops on the other side of the river to be responsible for transporting the food.
Therefore, at the moment, the commander only had more than ten thousand soldiers in his hands. More than seventy percent of them had low morale and were unable to fight.
Valard immediately realized that his opportunity had come. The four thousand soldiers who went out of the city were now in high morale because they had killed a lot of enemies. Meanwhile, he still had nearly two thousand reserve troops here. The total number was more than six thousand, and all of them were soldiers who could fight.
Although the total number was not as many as the enemy, this was a plain. The enemy had no place to hide. At the same time, more than half of them were deserters. Their morale was extremely unstable. As long as they could break through one line of defense at one go, the enemy would immediately collapse and flee. Behind them was the Lamu River. Once they fled, many of them would choose to forcibly cross the river to escape. Although the river was not very wide, if they really swam across, it was estimated that countless enemies would directly drown in the river!
"Lord Valard, do you want to fight next?"
The adjutant next to him saw his hesitation. In fact, they were far more inclined to fight than Valard. After all, they were in the army. If they fled at the sight of the enemy, they would not even think about "getting promoted and getting rich".
"Fight! Feign an attack along the west. Place Custer's troops in the east. If they can break through, then send the reserve troops up! You — go ask the Kingdom of Karen if they can provide support. If their weapons can help, then it's in the bag! "
"Yes!"
The assembled troops quickly got into position and prepared to attack. The army troops that had two artillery vehicles named "Marmot" also contacted the command center and gave Valard a reply of "artillery support". However, at the same time, they also stated that "the power of the artillery vehicle 'Marmot' is far from the power of the 'Vulcan' cannons in the city."
Valard did not pay attention to the latter part of the notification because he thought that relying on his own troops was completely enough. The other party was just the icing on the cake. Therefore, Valard could not wait to give the order to attack and immediately began to let the mages beside him provide fire support.
Lassiman's troops did not need to mention anything else, but the number of mages would always be sufficient. When the distance between the two sides was still four hundred meters, more than ten fireballs had already begun to gather. However, as expected … the spells instantly disappeared above the enemy's formation.
Valard's two phalanxes of one thousand and five hundred soldiers attacked the enemy's formation at the same time. The archers of both sides began to shoot from a distance of two hundred meters. Soldiers from both sides began to fall. However, the Lassiman soldiers were more well-equipped. Coupled with the defensive spells of the mages, this kind of rain of arrows did not have any effect.
"Bang! Bang! "
The two "Marmot" artillery vehicles of the Kingdom of Karen began to shoot at the same time. In the deafening sound, the cannonballs directly landed near the command center of the enemy's formation and blew up two tents on the spot!
However, the existence of the "Anti-Magic Field" prevented the crystal cannonballs from exploding. Moreover, because there was no one in the tents, the two cannonballs did not cause any casualties at all.
However, the sound and the collapsed tents boosted the morale of the attacking Lassiman soldiers. Due to the small caliber and cannonballs of the "Marmot" artillery vehicles, the firing structure had been improved to the level of "continuous firing" after several iterations.
The giant artillery could fire about five shots per minute, and it still needed to cool down. The "Marmot" artillery could fire one cannonball every five seconds. After firing ten consecutive cannonballs, it did not need to cool down for too long before it could be used again. At the same time, this kind of cannonball could cause enough threat even if it was not loaded with crystal cannonballs and only used solid metal cannonballs.
The purpose of its design was to become a "tank" with the ability to attack continuously within five hundred meters, and to suppress the enemy's firepower. At this time, the barrels of the two "Marmot" artillery vehicles were directly aimed at the command center where Udora was located. Without saying anything, they began to shoot continuously!
