Chapter 333: The new commander-in-chief, Assar
In fact, there are not many soldiers who launch the charge, and there are only 10,000 soldiers who do not set the sun, and on the other hand, on the side of the aristocratic coalition of the original Atlanta Empire, although 150,000 miscellaneous soldiers are evenly distributed to the four sides of Philadelphia, in fact, the number of soldiers in the rear on each side is definitely more than 20,000 except for the Atlantan soldiers who are still on the walls of Philadelphia and in front of the walls. As long as the Atlantan side first let the 20,000-strong army launch a counter-charge against the elite soldiers of Sunset who were charging behind them, and then quickly mobilize the infantry of more than 40,000 idle infantry outside the southern wall closest to the east wall and the north wall, and bypass the rear of this Sunset army to surround it, the scale of victory has all been tilted to the Atlantan side.
But the problem is that there are many factors that can shake the balance of victory when intelligent beings fight, especially human beings, and one of the most important factors is called morale: it is precisely because of the existence of this factor that the soldiers guarding Philadelphia can withstand the onslaught of the Atlantan side in so many days of continuous fighting, and it is precisely because of the existence of this factor that those Atlantan militias who have almost no formal training and even 60% are on the battlefield for the first time. When the peasants found themselves in the back of the enemy, and before the 10,000 orc warriors of the Sunset who wore heavy plate armor and wielded heavy swords and the lancet soldiers armed with craniotomy weapons engaged them in close quarters, nearly half of the Atlantan army outside the city walls went into disarray.
As the saying goes, "take advantage of your illness to kill you", although the sun never sets preaches the style of gentlemen in the country, but what is preached on the battlefield is the wind of scoundrels, and the soldiers who launched the charge now know that they want to kill the group of enemies in front of them as soon as possible and rescue the soldiers on the east wall of Philadelphia from the stalemate of the battle, not to engage in any gentlemanly style with the Atlanta side at this time, let alone let the soldiers under his command make a prayer and say sorry after killing those Atlantan soldiers. In order to show that he inadvertently launched a counter-charge, which frightened or irritated the Atlantic soldiers.
In the eyes of the commander of the 5th Longbow Legion, the sudden appearance of the Sunset army was like a huge wave, which was loaded on the 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers on the Atlantan side in rapid motion, and instead of being stopped, the huge wave smashed the seemingly solid sea cliff to pieces. The huge wave passed by any Atlantan soldier and was swallowed by it, and in just a few minutes, the morale of about 30,000 Atlanta soldiers on the east wall of Atlanta Philadelphia fell rapidly like a lift, coupled with the fact that the sun did not set on the side that launched the charge stretched the battle line thin and long, so that the miscellaneous troops on the east wall of Atlanta were not only on their backs, but even on both wings. At this time, the east city gate also opened the city gate very cooperatively, first let a death squad composed of Xiyi warriors attack from inside the city to the outside of the city, and then let all the sunset heavy swordsmen who can be mobilized behind the east city wall follow behind those Xiyi warriors, and the 10,000 or so Sunset soldiers surrounded these Atlanta miscellaneous soldiers, and the Atlantan miscellaneous soldiers located outside the eastern wall of Philadelphia soon collapsed and scurried around like headless flies.
At this moment, the news of the attack on the eastern wall had already reached the north and south walls of Philadelphia, but the problem was that until now, the Atlantic soldiers in both places had not sent any reinforcements in this direction. The reason is very simple, because the Atlanta soldiers in these two places all broke up after seeing the situation on the east wall of Philadelphia, of course, it is a bit too much to say that they were scattered, after all, although those Atlanta soldiers evacuated outside the battlefield in an extremely scattered formation, but after all, the direction of their withdrawal was the same - Atlantis City, and the Atlanta miscellaneous troops on the west wall of Philadelphia who received the news last were also the same, so this needs to be called a strategic retreat strategically.
The Atlantan side withdrew too quickly, and the other 3 Sunset defenders in Philadelphia did not know that there would be Sunset reinforcements on the east wall of the Road at the first time, which caused the Sunset soldiers on the east wall to rush to the other 3 walls, and the 10,000 Sunset soldiers who suddenly appeared were rushing to the north with a part of their forces. By the time of the southern two walls, the Atlantan soldiers outside the other three walls had already withdrawn from the battlefield, and the final result of the defense of Philadelphia was only to eliminate more than 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers and capture the Atlantan militia numbering less than 5,000. However, although the battle record was not high, the strategic goal of this battle was achieved: this strategic town belonging to the throat of Atlantis City was defended.
And there is also good news that more than 10,000 of the Assault Mixed Corps led by General Asal led by Leo have completed their mission: after losing more than 3,000 elite soldiers, they have killed more than 50,000 troops of the former Atlanta Empire nobles, and even in the process of their mission, they also ambushed a heavy cavalry force of 10,000 people at night and achieved a complete victory. At the same time, they also destroyed many fortresses that connected cities in the occupied areas of the western continent of the Sunset Empire, including the stone roads connecting Philadelphia, Itana, Atlantis and the inland areas of the Western Continent, and frightened and repelled dozens of heavy troops on the Atlantan side, that is, in the near future, those Atlantan troops who surrounded the cities occupied by Sunset will not be able to obtain any reinforcements, food, grass, or arrows, etc., It is equivalent to that the rear roads of about 400,000 Atlanta's miscellaneous troops who are still in the occupied area where the sun never sets have been cut off!
"General Assal, well done, you have made the most important contribution to the next strategic plan!" Leaning back on the chair and covering the wound on his abdomen, he barely raised his eyelids, and said to Asal in front of him with a relieved face: "Then I don't need to say what happened next, you should know everything, right?" Then let it go. ”
"I see, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, but......... Are we really not going to save Atlantis City? ”
"Don't worry, with General Sherman and General Rakuman jointly in charge, as well as 50,000 elite army of Sunset, 40,000 Xiyi army and 10,000 Naga warriors, it is not a problem to hold Atlantis City......... By the way, Assal, I have something for you, and then! ”
"It's not going to be ..........," Asal said, looking at the badge in his hand, looking at Leo in disbelief.
"Take it, I shouldn't be needed here, and I need to go back to the New Delhi Peninsula to recuperate, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Assar."
