Chapter 150: Warsaw Military Appearance

Although it did not have the yellow sand rolling in the legendary army, when the 100,000 troops of the Warsaw Alliance appeared before Andrew's eyes, the shock was enough to freeze the eyes of all the 40,000 soldiers on Mars's side.

The first to appear from the distant forest was the 8,000 Warsaw Guards shown in the information given to Andrew by Thebes, but compared to the 100 Warsaw Guards who appeared in the territory of Fort Biliga before, although these 8,000 Warsaw Guards lacked the arrogant aura exuded by those 100 people, they had a more solemn and cold temperament, and it could be easily judged from the thick bloody aura exuded by these 8,000 Warsaw Guards, These 8,000 Warsaw Guards are definitely real cavalrymen who have survived the line of death on the battlefield.

As the most elite unit of the Warsaw Alliance, the appearance of the Warsaw Guards not only represents the honor of the Warsaw people and the honor of the Warsaw Alliance, but also represents the Warsaw Guards' undefeated record of only 3 times since they played 100 games. Therefore, when the Warsaw Guards appeared on the battlefield, it not only meant that the war would be a protracted battle, but also represented the Warsaw Alliance's determination to win the battle, not to mention that the 8,000-strong Warsaw Guards were the only cavalry unit recognized by the Central Army among all the Warsaw Union armies.

You must know that the Warsaw Guards also have grades, the most elite of which is what Andrew saw, the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Warsaw Guards holding a silver-gray flag at the edge of the front row of the team, usually these 8,000 members will generally gather together to act, but are used by the only Warsaw Alliance Parliamentarian who can control and command them to protect the councillors, as long as the Warsaw Alliance is about to fight an important battle, these 8,000 Warsaw Guards members will gather from the territory of the Alliance to the main city of the Alliance to be dispatched; And a little lower than this force is the Warsaw Guards specially used to protect the royal family of Alliance 3, the number of a total of 6,000 people, the last time the 100 Warsaw Guards who appeared in the territory of Fort Biliga belong to this grade, compared to the 8,000 people, the combat effectiveness of these 6,000 people is indeed not as good as the 8,000 people, but its combat ability is still extremely high, and it is also the same as the 8,000 Warsaw Guards in terms of configuration, if you insist on saying that there is any difference between these two Warsaw Guards, That is, the Warsaw Guards in front of Andrew had a little more breath than the 6,000 Warsaw Guards who guarded the 3 royal family, the breath that crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood; As for the Warsaw Guards of the last grade, they are actually knockoffs made by several giant merchants and famous nobles in the Warsaw Alliance, maybe their configuration is the same as the Warsaw Guards of the first two grades, but when it comes to discipline, combat effectiveness, etc., it is completely incomparable with the Warsaw Guards of the first two grades, and because the Warsaw Guards of this kind of knockoffs generally do not obey the dispatch of the battlefield commander, and they often fly high and domineering in the army, so even the famous Warsaw people will not call them the Warsaw Guards, Instead, they were called "Warsaw Ironclad Cavalry", or "Warsaw Knights".

But if you really want to talk about it, compared to the 8,000 Warsaw Guards, Andrew is now more worried about the more than ten infantry corps phalanx that appeared behind them, because Andrew and his more than 10,000 soldiers, as well as the other two Mars Empire armies that had just entered the city from the rear to defend nearly 30,000 people, are in a mountain city with terrain advantages, although the height of the city wall has not even reached 20 meters, and the width of the city wall is not much, but this wall can completely wipe out the advantage of heavy cavalry, Moreover, Andrew is located in a mountain built halfway up the mountain, and the uphill terrain from the Warsaw Alliance to the mountain town is an uphill terrain, as long as you are not a fool, you know that the effect of heavy cavalry in this area is even more minimal, plus 10 small ballistae, 4,000 crossbowmen and 5,000 short archers placed above the mountain town, and the wooden stakes set up in the uphill to resist the horses, Andrew is fully confident that the 8,000 Warsaw Guards will all be killed before the head of his cavalry can touch the stone wall.

Andrew's concern is not the 40,000 ironclad hoplites shown in the information given by Thebes, because these 40,000 ironclad hoplites are actually the same as the Mars hoplites of the Mars Empire, all of them are wearing heavy ironclad armor, equipped with one-handed swords and knight's shields, and there is no difference in nature, and because the Warsaw Alliance is heavy on business, the people who generally join the army to become the ironclad hoplites are businessmen who can buy weapons and armor on their own with a little money in the Warsaw Empire, and love to fight, and this kind of soldier is typical on the battlefield"Downstream" soldiers, if the balance of victory is tilted towards their side, in order to get more merits, these soldiers will fight with their lives, and if the scale of battle is tilted towards the other side, these merchants will always be shaken by the military spirit because they consider whether it is worth continuing to fight, so there is an unwritten rule in the Northwest Continent that if you want to fight against the Warsaw Alliance, the most effective breakthrough in their troops is those ironclad heavy infantry that seem to be terrifying, but in fact they are straw bales.

As for the 10,000 javelin raiders, it is even more impossible, you must know that although the Javelinmen are not the mainstream of the Mars troops, but as the western region of the empire that can produce the special type of Lynx troops of the Mars Empire, the javelins there are the old business of the Lynx warriors, just like the Welsh in the British islands back then, although the Welsh people are shocking the world with longbow and archery, but the spear is the old business of Wales. In fact, what is causing Andrew a headache is 30,000 lightly armed sword and shield soldiers.

Dressed in light sleeveless chain mail, iron helmets, and armed with one-handed swords and knights' shields, these 30,000 sword and shield warriors looked like the Italian militia, and were even armed with less than half the weapons and armor of the Italian militia. But as a branch of the elite army that can be incorporated into the Warsaw Alliance's elite army, how can these 30,000 lightly armed sword and shield soldiers be mediocre?

The reason why Andrew has scruples about these 30,000 lightly armed sword and shield soldiers is because the members of the 30,000 sword and shield soldiers are slave soldiers in the Warsaw Alliance who have experienced the battle of the Colosseum, not only ferocious, strong in combat, and most importantly, they are not afraid of death, a high-level general of the Warsaw Alliance once revealed that in a certain city defense battle, 5,000 lightly armed sword and shield soldiers used their flesh and blood to block the continuous attack of the local heavy infantry for more than 7 hours without a trace of retreat, And what happened next showed the combat effectiveness of these 30,000 lightly armed sword and shield warriors.
