Chapter 481: Twin Star Fall (11)

"After withstanding the enemy's frantic onslaught, these legion commanders are really good to send orders to the longbow troops on the outskirts of the battlefield to use fire arrows and die with the enemy soldiers!" After a brief prayer in front of the five charred corpses wrapped in body bags, and after watching the 10 members of the general's guard carry them away, Assal, who was seriously wounded in the waist, muttered slowly with the support of two personal guards.

The final result is just as Asal said, the reason why the commanders of the Sunset Legion, who knew that they and their soldiers had no hope of defeating at all, chose to fight to the death with the side of the Water Qilin Although it was indeed to delay time, this delay was not to wait for the arrival of the Longbow troops, except that after the Longbow troops lost a lot of physical strength in the rapid rush to the battlefield, they may not be able to stop providing help to the besieged Sunset Heavy Soldiers. The main reason is that since the longbow troops are attracted by the enemy infantry, they must consume arrows, which is very likely to lead to insufficient arrows, and the commander-in-chief will never let the ranged infantry who are not good at melee combat and have exhausted their physical strength play hand-to-hand combat with the enemy heavy infantry, right? So they eventually sent out the Warhawks, hoping that Asal would make a choice and exchange 30,000 men for 50,000 men to win the battle - they hoped to burn the mountain to bury themselves and the 50,000 Water Kirin army here.

Asal also participated in the Battle of Linhai at that time, but Asal was unable to command on the front line of the war due to the dark illness left behind by the battle, so he stayed in the rear, that is, on the periphery of the Linhai area, like those commanders in later generations, and used the war eagle in his hand to remotely control the 7 regular legions of Sunset (not that Asal was unwilling to use Sunset field spies to control the legions, but because Sunset lost its guide to walk in this forest after the noble private soldiers were defeated), Since Asal was the supreme commander of the battle, he was soon informed that 30,000 heavily armed troops had been ambushed, that the nobles' private soldiers had mutinied, and that the Longbow troops had been diverted by enemy soldiers.

The first two pieces of news instantly made Assar's excitement fall to a low point, but fortunately, the last piece of news about the Longbow troops was positive, and the Longbow troops were not in any danger for the time being, so it could be judged that the strength of the Water Qilin's left army may not be much more than he expected.

As for the request of the five legion commanders, although Asal still regrets it a lot, when the two armies were in full battle in the Linhai area, Asal immediately signed a request for the commander of the 5 Sunset Legion on the agreement and the dispatch letter of the Longbow Troops, and asked the members of the Longbow Force in the Linhai District to move towards the ambush area of the 30,000 heavily armed troops in the Linhai District under the condition of ensuring their own personal safety, so that they would have no one to see what the situation was after they arrived. Ignite all the arrows in your hands and turn everything in front of you into a sea of fire.

This is not because Assar is willing to give up this army for the glory of the Sunset Army, just like those commanders of the Sunset Army, but because Asal is a general, and he must first consider the impact of this battlefield on the future war trend of the Sunset Empire in the Western Continent Theater before considering the mood of the soldiers in the army: it is true that if the Longbow Force uses armor-piercing arrows, it can indeed clear out some of the Water Qilin Empire soldiers and bring out those trapped members of the Sunset Heavy Force, but, The fact that the longbow troops were only attracted but not ambushed by the water unicorn side shows that the water unicorn left army has no advantage in terms of strength at all, and it can be seen from the content of the battle report from the heavy army that only about 20,000 water unicorn heavy infantry participated in the ambush battle, which means that the water unicorn side is likely to only have such a little heavy infantry, and the water unicorn side pressed all the heavy infantry on the ambush sun does not set on the heavy troops, which is also explained in disguise, It is very likely that the Water Qilin Army, which ambushed the heavily armed troops, is the main force of the Water Qilin Left Route Army.

In order to let go of the main force of the Shui Qilin Left Route Army for a force whose current status is unknown and it is highly likely that nearly half of its strength has been wiped out, as long as it is a normal general, no one will make such a mediocre decision, after all, as long as it is a war, there will be losses, and the so-called victorious side basically refers to the side that reduces its own post-war losses to a lower level than the other side. And if the anti-artillery is now the main force of the Water Qilin Left Route Army, imagine that in the future at Fort Ozkov, when the whole army is almost pure long-range infantry, and there are only a small number of heavy troops in the army, and most of these heavy troops are still wounded, the Sun does not set side After facing Lin Hai, the losses will only reach 5 points at most1, and the heavy troops, light troops, cavalry troops, and long-range troops are fully equipped, and the most important thing is that the number of hand-to-hand combat troops is far more than that of the Water Qilin side that the sun does not set. Is it still necessary to say about the victory or defeat of that war at that time? Don't think that Asal won't be distressed after he ordered to set fire to the forest with rocket arrows and burned all his troops and the Water Kirin troops to death, in fact, Asal was distressed by everyone else, because among the 5 charred corpses carried away by the generals who never set sun, one of them was his own brother in front of him!

And after Asal ordered the Longbow Guards to use rocket arrows, the result was that as far as the eye could see, there was a charred black earth and tens of thousands of corpses that exuded a scorched smell, and of course more than 4,000 lucky Sunset Heavy Soldiers, of course, their luck was also exchanged for the lives of other comrades: although there was no water source in the area where the Sunset Heavy Troops were ambushed, there was a small area that was dry and obviously burned by fire, and it is estimated that the fire was caused by the thunder, Because people can find a giant tree that seems to have been split in half by lightning in this land that was finally not eroded by fire.

Because of the presence of this area, when the water unicorn army was surrounded by fire (at this time, the 5 corps commander officers had been killed in the previous battle), the panicked water unicorn soldiers fled in all directions, and the only remaining sunset heavy troops in the ambush immediately shortened their front to this area, and then, the surviving foot English knights used their weapons to bring down the surrounding uncles, while the heavy hook and sickle men used their weapons as shovels to dig a low dirt wall around it that was less than half a meter high, blocking the incoming fire.

Although some of the soldiers who never set the sun died of suffocation during the siege of the fire, fortunately, these soldiers carried some water bottles with water, and there were cotton pads inside their armor, so soon many simple wet masks were made, and they survived and waited for the sun to appear.
