Chapter 148: Tragic war

"It's not Stasi's defeat, right? Didn't it mean that he was beaten and disabled? This kind of thing does not necessarily mean that the opponent came to retake the town." The team leader said with a fluke. He just didn't want his troops to face a fierce battle, of course he was not so naive as to think that the opponent was here to surrender.
Niner shook his head decisively, pointed to the location on the map, and said: "The army that the reconnaissance army found here is neat and there is no sign of collapse. And it is said that every soldier is equipped with a weapon, even Disabled, apparently they have recovered.
"Are there any land dragon knights?"
Staring at the area pointed to by Niner on the map, the team leader continued to ask: "The terrain in this area is relatively flat. If they have those big guys, we will be in trouble."
It's no wonder that he is so cautious, because even with the steam chariot troops to deal with, the Dragon Knight is still the enemy of Falkenrich's army. Although the cost of cultivating an Earthwalker is higher than the cost of forming a tank unit, the Destructive Power of the Earthwalker on the battlefield is far greater than that of a steam chariot. Often two tanks can be worthy of one. Dragon knight.
"I don't know, but leave this to me." Ninel thought for a while and said: "I will lead people to block the heavy marines that the opponent may have. But we also need cover. This is my bottom line."
The captain nodded, and then promised: "I will send you the most capable soldier here, and I will ask you all."
It didn't take long for the entire town to become busy, and dozens of Falkenrich soldiers began to enter their defensive positions in the west, preparing for the upcoming battle.
These soldiers couldn't be more familiar with the pre-war preparations, and complicated and trivial things were clearly organized and extremely simple in their eyes. They wiped the tanks and lubricated some key places to keep these heavy weapons in better condition. They check the weapon and put it in the most comfortable position so that it can be used immediately in a crisis.
Niner took his three steam chariots and a dozen infantrymen into the edge of the woodland, where they chose a better position and set up their own blocking position. The three steam chariots were arranged into a triangle, aiming the three cannons at the position where the Stasi's knight might appear.
They also found some camouflage, and piled some dirt and branches in front of the steam chariot as a cover. These steam chariots modified by Falkenrich are painted with a simple camouflage, so they are now better integrated with the surrounding environment.
The infantrymen were arranged on the high behind the three chariots to deal with the Stasi infantrymen who came around. Of course, they are only responsible for covering and reminding that it is impossible to really block the Stasi's army that goes around.
Soon Nineel noticed the advancing Stasi forces with his excellent eyesight. The densely packed soldiers had begun to spread out slowly. The reconnaissance forces obviously said that the number of this enemy army was less. At a glance, they at least have Five hundred people.
The enemy has at least half of the squadron, which is undoubtedly bad news for the Falkenrich defenders who have only one squadron. The other bad news is that these enemy forces are not like the Taukaba minions and the Stasi third-line forces they have encountered before. They are weak opponents with only quantity but no quality.
Judging from the fact that they know to deploy troops in advance and prepare to attack, at least they are better than the opponents they encountered before. This is undoubtedly not a good sign. After all, the better quality performance proves that this Star West The team is their main force-Stasi's main force is deeply influenced by Grand Duke Jon's iron and blood, and has a demeanor that is not afraid of death.
Finally, the battle began.
"boom!"
An explosive crossbow struck the open space not far from the Falkenridge army's position, followed by the second and third. The team leader immediately brows. Three years later, Stasi’s progress in armaments is quite obvious. This time the magic ballista carried by the enemy is an enhanced version of the model used by Falkenrich, although some mobility is sacrificed. But it has more powerful destructive power.
This is undoubtedly what Grand Duke Jon meant. This man prefers powerful frontal units such as cannons and cavalry, rather than Falkenridge's more flexible type.
Of course, only with the support of these ballistas, the Falkenrich army, which has always been accustomed to fighting in adversity, is not in the eyes, but the representation behind these ballistas makes people have to take it seriously.
The number of Stasi's troops with heavy ballistas will definitely be more. It might not be possible to have at least one complete squadron, or even two. This is obviously not an opponent that can be blocked by a mere hundred heroic soldiers.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and call for reinforcements to the squadron! Tell them that if the reinforcements can't make it here within half an hour, this small town may be out of control!"
However, just after the captain had finished speaking, more explosive crossbow arrows fell on the open space in front of the Falkenridge position, setting off one after another thick plumes of smoke filled with black mud.
Under initial visual inspection, he believed that the Stasi had at least five ballistas firing, and it seemed that they had sufficient ammunition. This battlefield-ready officer immediately judged the size of the opposing Stasi's army-very likely, it was really a squadron close to full.
Pray that they are all infantry. In this way, the Falkenridge army has at least three steam chariots with the armor advantage. At a critical moment, these steam chariots can repel at least one attack of the opponent, for retreat or wait. Help buy precious time.
He prayed like this in his heart, hoping that his wish could be realized.
But it seems that the God of Destiny is here to play with Falkenridge today, and the more things they don't want to see, the more they will appear in front of them. Just as the squad leader prayed, an earth-moving dragon appeared behind the Stasi in a majestic manner.
Immediately afterwards, seemingly emboldened by the powerful Earthwalking Dragon Knight, the remaining Stasi soldiers became excited, shouting the slogan Long Live Stasi, and rushed to the Falkenrich army from different directions without retreating. Even if the casters and soldiers tried their best to attack the defensive position, they still charged forward like a tide, until they narrowed the distance between the two sides to more than one hundred meters.
At this time, the fire suppression position of the Falkenrich army had to be moved. If it continues to stay there, Stasi’s Earthwalking Dragon Knights will most likely use a charge to directly kill them. After all, the Earthwalking dragon has thick skin. , The knight also has heavy armor defense, but it is not as fragile as ordinary infantry, and it is completely capable of resisting attacks and breaking through.
In fact, this was one of the reasons why Grand Duke Jon liked the heavy forces.
So the caster troops hurriedly retreated, leaving an empty position for the Stasi soldiers who had nowhere to vent their anger.
But then, the rear position was supplemented by the caster who had withdrawn from the front, and the suppressing firepower instantly increased by a level. In an instant, several Stasi soldiers fell under the cover of bows, missiles and fireballs!
Counting those who were killed by Falkenridge’s front positions before, the Stasi’s army was killed in less than a minute and nearly 30 people were killed, and Falkenridge’s casualties totaled less than ten people. .
However, these Stasi soldiers didn't seem to be afraid of death at all, and they still attacked the Falkenrich army position without hesitation. It is a pity that as the fighting continued, the casualties of these Stasi soldiers became more and more serious.
Any troop’s retreat requires a critical point. For example, a troop that has not undergone training and combat has a critical point of collapse at about 5 to 10%, which means that a 100-man troop only needs to lose 10 people. Will be defeated. If trained, this ratio can be increased to 20% or even 25%. Of course, if this army has a firm belief in the battlefield, this ratio may extend to 30% to 50%.
There have been many troops who have lost more than half of their lives and have not retreated, but this kind of thing rarely happens. As for the situation of fighting to the last person, it only exists in the legend.
Under normal circumstances, large-scale casualties all occur after the defeat, which means that the casualties are not the heaviest when fighting. Therefore, to improve the training level of the troops and make the opponent unable to bear the loss and defeat when the actual fight is actually an important way to reduce casualties. Because often a unit may only lose ten troops in a battle, but in the process of fleeing by the enemy, thirty or even three hundred people escaped.
After the battle lasted more than ten minutes~EbookFREE.me~ the Stasi troops in front of the Falkenrich army finally couldn't bear their losses. A squadron with a total of 500 infantry troops has lost almost two hundred men in this short ten minutes. This is the limit of normal capacity.
These Stasi soldiers began to retreat, and the distance they had exchanged for countless blood and lives was gradually given to the Falkenrich army. Compared to when they came, these retreating soldiers hesitate now, seemingly unwilling. After all, it is impossible for a war to rewrite the ending just because people in a certain aspect are unwilling. They eventually retreated, and they retreated a little embarrassed.
The Falkenridge army also has no extra troops to countercharge. One attack to repel the enemy almost exhausts all of their energy. At this time, it is necessary to regain strength as soon as possible to prepare for the next attack. This is comparable to chasing and defeating the history of retreat. The Tassie army makes more sense.
But at this time, something unexpected happened to all Fakenrich people.
