"Chapter Ninety-Three: The Battle of the League, The End"
The human heart seeks both life and death. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info We chase both light and darkness. We crave love, and sometimes we waste it almost self-destructively. It seems that there has always been a barren night land in people's hearts, reserved for that dark and lonely self.

The heavy armor soldiers under Bai Feng's command can easily resist the attack of the enemy's heavy armor soldiers, but they cannot form an effective counterattack against the enemy heavy armor soldiers, and can only stalemate with the enemy heavy armor soldiers on the bridge.
The collision between the heavy armoured soldiers and the heavy armoured soldiers quickly turned into a shock battle between the two sides, and the unlucky heavy armoured squads were squeezed to the edge of the bridge and fell straight into the river under the bridge.
The turbulent river and the heavy iron armor made it possible for the heavy armor squad to sink to the bottom without even having a chance to struggle, and this force majeure factor caused more losses than the soldiers killed on the battlefield, and the enemy army had a certain advantage.
In terms of the number of heavy armor soldiers alone, the two armies fighting desperately on the bridge had only one brigade of heavy armor soldiers, but the crux of the problem was that there was a large group of hoplites behind the enemy heavy armor soldiers, and there were only two brigades of long sword soldiers left under Bai Feng's command.
The long knife soldier is a special type of force specially used to restrain the infantry, and its super attack power and weak defense power are in stark contrast to the heavy armor soldiers with super strong defense and weak attack power; as for who is better in the end, Bai Feng is still not very clear.
This is like an allusion to attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, the long knife soldier is the most offensive class of the infantry, and the heavy armor soldier is the strongest defensive class of the infantry; who dares to guarantee the victory or defeat in the contest between the strongest and the strongest?
What's even more deadly is that the strength of the enemy army and two brigades has not appeared on the battlefield, and the enemy troops of these two brigades are the most feared existence in Bai Feng's heart, because the unknown enemy is the most terrible enemy, and you never know where the other party will appear.
Heavy archers and longbowmen were still attacking the enemy hoplites on the bridge with their rain of arrows, and the heavy armor soldiers, who looked like iron cans, could not be harmed by arrows, so the archers had no choice but to target the enemy hoplites.
The hoplites, whose defensive strength was inferior to the heavy armor, finally suffered relatively obvious casualties under the dense rain of arrows from the heavy archers and longbowmen, and after twelve rounds of arrow rain, about a squadron of enemy hoplites was wiped out by Bai Feng's archer troops.
At this time, the remaining four squadrons of hoplites and three squadrons of heavy armor of the enemy army had already fought together with the last two remaining squadrons of heavy armor under Bai Feng's command, and the chaotic battle situation forced Bai Feng to suspend the attack of the archer troops.
In order to meet the enemy's large-scale attack, Bai Feng had even prepared a brigade of long-sword soldiers for battle, and once his own heavy armor troops were completely annihilated, the soldiers of this long-sword brigade would rush onto the bridge to meet the enemy's heavy troops who were intent on rushing over.
Just when the situation was getting more and more tilted towards the other side, Bai Feng suddenly found that about two large groups of enemy standard cavalry troops appeared on the east side of him! Bai Feng, who was caught off guard, had no army in his hands to resist the enemy's cavalry attack!
In less than a minute of decision-making time, Bai Feng, who had clenched his fists, immediately let his entire army rush onto the bridge, with a brigade of long-sword soldiers in front, heavy archers and longbowmen in the middle, and another brigade of long-knife soldiers in charge of the rear.
The first brigade of long-swordmen to rush to the bridge, their task was to help the remnants of the heavy armoured troops in the center of the bridge resist the attack of the enemy hoplites, and the archers in the middle, their task was to use the rain of arrows against the incoming cavalry under the cover of the long-sword soldiers behind the palace.
The narrow space on the bridge is the best position for the long knife brigade behind the palace to resist the attack of the enemy cavalry; no matter how strong the impact of the cavalry is, it is difficult to exert it on the bridge, but it is more suitable for the long knife soldiers to defend with the long knife battle formation.
Although it is risky to use the long knife against the enemy's heavy armor and hoplites, it is more reliable than having the long knife against the enemy's cavalry in the field, after all, the cavalry is the restrained arm of the long knife soldier, and the long knife soldier in the field is no match for the cavalry at all.
After discovering that Bai Feng's army had all retreated to the bridge, the enemy cavalry who were rushing quickly rushed to the bridge immediately adjusted their direction and launched a charge against Bai Feng's army on the bridge.
The two battalions of enemy cavalry, under the combined blows of heavy archers and longbowmen, lost less than two squadrons, and the remaining eight squadrons of cavalry rushed to the bridge without being able to immediately break through the long-knife line of the long-knife men.
Of the five lines of long-knife defenses separated by one meter each, only two lines of defense were breached, and the long-knife men on the third line of defense blocked the charge of the enemy cavalry.
The cavalry, which had lost its speed advantage and impact power, fought against the longsword soldiers who were seriously lacking in defense, and the battle between the two sides was extremely tragic and suffered heavy casualties, while the archer troops under Bai Feng had maintained an offensive posture and brought a lot of casualties to the enemy's cavalry.
At the same time, the battle on the other side of the bridge has also taken a new turn: the participation of five squadrons of long-knife soldiers has caused the enemy heavy armor and hoplites who are frantically advancing to suffer a head-on blow, and the sharp combat effectiveness of the long-knife soldiers has played a role in saving the tide of the battle!
However, all this was done by the longsword soldiers at the expense of themselves, the attack power of the enemy hoplites far exceeded the defensive power of the longsword soldiers, and the longsword soldiers under Bai Feng's command slaughtered the enemy army frantically, and their own casualties were also extremely heavy.
More than two squadrons of heavy armor and two squadrons of hoplites were wiped out by the swordsmen who rushed to the line, and the price paid by the swordsmen was almost annihilated, and less than five squads of fifty squads remained.
Looking at the last two squadrons of hoplites left in the enemy's army, the five squadrons of longsword soldiers and the two squadrons of heavy armor were already enough to crush each other, and Bai Feng, who was secretly relieved, focused all his attention on the battle between the longsword soldiers and the enemy cavalry.
The enemy cavalry in the melee is devouring the long sword soldiers under Bai Feng's command little by little, but fortunately, the archers under Bai Feng's command are still hitting each other with a rain of arrows;
After more than ten minutes of fighting, the last cavalry squad under Ada's command was killed in the bridge, and Bai Feng, who won with difficulty, had less than one squadron of archers and several squads of heavy armor left, and all the other longsword soldiers had already died on the battlefield.
If it weren't for the fact that at the last moment of the battle, Bai Feng took the lead in annihilating Ada's infantry troops, and used his heavy armor to deal with the enemy's cavalry troops, and the enemy cavalry that had already completely annihilated the longsword soldiers into the archers' troops, maybe it would have changed the tide of the battle.
After this fierce and evenly matched battle, Bai Feng finally won the championship of the war competition, earning a total of thirty points for the Celestial Dragon Empire, while Ida in second place and Steve in third won a total of forty-five points for the Andriol Empire.
