Chapter 361: Dawn Comes, Win or Lose
The more the war dragged on, the more Haybad, the commander-in-chief of the Atlanta army, regretted it.
At this time, it had been nearly 6 hours since the Atlanta army attacked the camp at sunset in full force 7 hours at night, and although the fog in the air had not diminished in the slightest, the dark curtain in the sky had gradually dissipated, and in the distance, the bright and blazing red sun had gradually risen.
When the Atlanta army first raided, it was a good fight. When the Atlantan soldiers had not yet pulled down the wooden fence with their hooks, they did inflict some damage on them with arrows, flaming boulders, rotting oxen and other objects, which also shook the hearts of the Atlantan soldiers who rushed up.
But when the wooden fences were pulled down by him, a huge number of Atlanta soldiers poured into the Sunset camp like a tidal wave, but the Sunset soldiers turned into paper tigers in an instant for some reason. Under the Atlanta miscellaneous soldiers, whose morale was still good, rushed in and slashed everywhere, the soldiers who never set the sun and the Saiyi Ashigaru and the samurai were defeated and retreated by the Atlantan soldiers, and the Yoman longbowmen who supported the sun in the rear also seemed to have no strength, and the arrows shot were soft and non-lethal, and the war equipment that never set was like a musket dumb for some reason, and even a piece of broken stone was thrown out.
In this case, although the Atlanta officers were puzzled, but those Atlantan miscellaneous soldiers were not, these typical miscellaneous soldiers who fought with the wind after seeing the defeat of the army that never set, even Assal, who was secretly snickering, was a little surprised, but after finding that these miscellaneous soldiers were very "cooperative" with him, Asal immediately showed ecstasy.
The pace of the Atlantan army became faster because of this, but when Haybad rode to the wooden fence that was being pushed by his own soldiers, it was too late to realize that something was wrong, because more than 200,000 Atlanta troops had already poured into the Sunset camp about 100,000 in a short period of time.
"Now, set all the haystacks on fire!" When Haybad suddenly noticed countless bales of hay and timber piled up behind the wooden fence where the sun never set, a Sunset Pyro, wearing heavy chain mail and a Latin-style helmet, launched a desperate charge in the direction of the wooden fence under the escort of a team of nearly 100 orcs, and used the Greek fire in his hand to set fire to all the haystacks, bundles of wood, and so on.
Except for the entrances to the camp on all sides, where the Sunset Engineer had given him water before, the wood that had been built into the gate had been wet from the beginning of the battle to the present, making it impossible for the flames to be easily lit by the flames, and the entrances that the rest of the Atlantans rushed in had been blocked by a wall of fire.
If the Atlantans had had taken the heart to notice that there were many haystacks and bundles of wood in front of them when they rushed in, if they had noticed that the tents in the camp were at least a hundred meters away from the wooden fence, if they had wondered what the land beneath their feet was like those that had just been renovated, or if they had found that there was not a trace of weeds or even grass roots on the ground, and that the land in the area had clearly been watered, and that the surface was full of sticky mudOne-two-quarters of Atlanta's army will not fall to such a state.
The Atlantans were terrified by the sudden cut off of their retreat by the raging fire, and the sun never set was thrilled that the 100,000 Atlantans who had stormed the camp were going to be dumplings made by themselves. The soldiers who had shown weakness before the soldiers of the sun and the soldiers of Xiyi began to fight back frantically before they could give orders from those grassroots officers, and used all kinds of weapons in their hands to frantically slash and kill the Atlantan soldiers in front of them in order to vent their previous anger.
As early as this time, Haibad, who found that his side was about to be defeated, was ready to lead 2,000 chainmail cavalry and the remaining 100,000 Atlantan soldiers who had not yet rushed into the Sunset camp to flee the battlefield, but then he was very tragically intercepted by the Atlantan nobles in the barracks.
When Haybad dispatched a large army to fight, he deliberately reduced those who belonged to the Atlanta soldiers into the frontline battlefield, and this made those soldiers belonging to the Atlantan nobles take the place of the soldiers belonging to the Hipbard, and the Atlanta nobles themselves held a grudge against this matter, but they were suspicious of each other on their side, even if there were a few nobles in the army who were privately united, they would be much stronger than those who were alone. But these forces still had as many troops loyal to them as Haebad had before them.
But now it's different, these nobles have been resentful of Haybad's previous practices, and now Haybad wants to lead his own soldiers to escape, so that his soldiers can be slaughtered at will in the camp where the sun never sets, for their royal palace, how can there be such a good thing in this world? So in a short period of time, these nobles who were still in a state of mutual suspicion immediately twisted into a ball, so that more than 100,000 Atlantan soldiers who had not yet rushed into the camp of the sun never set, and the soldiers who belonged to the side controlled by the nobles besieged Haybad's troops, and jointly "requested" Haybad to command the rest of the troops to rescue the Atlantan soldiers who were trapped in the camp of the sun never set.
After all, if it really gets to the point of infighting, the cheap one must be the sun that never sets, and it is estimated that his own life will not be saved, so Haybad had to compromise with the Atlantic nobles, and let the remaining 100,000 Atlantan soldiers pour into the camp along the entrance specially reserved for them to enter the camp by the 4 great empires where the sun never sets, so as to guide the Atlantan soldiers trapped inside the camp to evacuate.
But they didn't know that as early as when Haybad gave this order, the members of the Changyi Legion and the orc warriors on the Sunset side had already launched a fierce attack towards the 4 entrances, and in the panic of the Atlantan soldiers, they easily cut off the only remaining exit between the Atlantan soldiers and the 4 Sunset camps, and then, with the cooperation of the Sunset Heavy Swordsman and Xiyi Ashigaru, they drove away all the Atlantan soldiers within 100 meters around the entrance and drove away, and at the same time, Xiyi Ashigaru also formed a dense gun forest around the door, So that the Atlantan soldiers who rushed in had no return.
Eventually, when Haybad found that the soldiers he could command were either exhausted or seriously wounded, the soldiers on the side of the sun had begun to rush out of the four entrances of the camp in droves.
