Chapter 1016: Battle of Priska

On September 11th, at noon, it rained for several days, but at this time it stopped suddenly. However, the weather did not improve at all. On the contrary, the dark clouds in the sky became denser, covering the entire sky.
It's heavy, hanging down in the sky, as if you can reach it as soon as you stretch out your hand.
Although it should be the sunniest time of the day, with the passage of time, the weather became more and more sinking. Gradually, it was almost like night.
A slay between heaven and earth.
The earth was silent, and even the most [free] wind stopped, like the silent world before the birth of the gods.
I don't know how long it has passed, maybe a second, maybe a century.
Suddenly a dazzling light across the sky, like a sharp sword in the hands of the God of Light, pierced straight down from the high sky.
Immediately, the thunderous thunder resounded throughout the world.
The lightning is like a command to attack.
Before its light was completely extinguished on everyone's retinas, there were countless lightning bolts, winding and twisting down from the sky~!
There was a crash between heaven and earth.
The charged clouds containing huge energy collided in the air, and the dazzling lightning appeared suddenly in a hideous shape, leaving burning marks one after another in people's eyes.
In the next second, a fierce gust of wind howled, rushing from a distance.
Raindrops the size of soybeans, caught in the gusty wind, smashed down toward the ground under the dark clouds.
There was a series of crackling noises.
Before the violent power of nature, some people fear, some tremble, some escape, but some dare to challenge.
In the violent storm, Lorraine stood erect on the high hill, letting himself be soaked by the rain, facing the strong wind and showers, lightning and thunder above his head.
Suddenly, Lorraine seemed to be back in his youth, when he was full of spirits, ambitious, and dreamed of taking the whole world into his arms.
Even in the face of the most violent wind, they will shout without fear~!
A gust of wind blows, blowing the scarlet cloak behind him like a flag.
It rained heavily on the helmet on his head, and then slid down the edge, sliding across his face like a stream.
Lorraine looked at the soldiers under the hill through the rain before him.
Under the leadership of the officers, they have formed a steel phalanx, holding the weapons in their hands motionlessly, letting the storm hit the armor, and quietly waiting for orders, Lorraine His gaze slowly swept across the faces of the soldiers, and all of them looked firm and calm. A glimmer of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Although facing nature's most violent storms, these soldiers stood proudly one by one. In this world, few can make them succumb.
He turned his head and looked across.
I saw several neat square formations also appeared on the opposite ground, with big flags raised high. In that heavy rain, it was still waving in the wind, hunting and fluttering.
The soldiers also stood silently, motionless.
The neat formation is like a knife, axe and chop, without the slightest mess.
In that square formation, from time to time, officers or messengers ran past quickly, making final preparations.
A lonely tiny black spot can be seen faintly under the big 纛 behind the opposite position.
Although it was so far away, I couldn't see clearly, but at this moment, a strange picture suddenly appeared in Lorraine's heart.
The tiny black dot seemed to feel his gaze and looked in his direction.
The eyes of the two crossed the vast battlefield, and they collided fiercely.
Lorraine's pupils contracted slightly: This is the first time such a heavyweight opponent has been found~!
But he couldn't help but sneered, and drew out the long sword.
A dragon chant sounded.
Lorraine drew the long sword, raised it to the sky, exhausted all his strength, and shouted angrily: "For Ruman~!"
At the same time, a rumbling thunder resounded through the world.
But even the loud thunder did not cover Lorraine's voice.
"For Ruman~!" Twenty thousand soldiers raised their weapons to the sky and shouted in unison with Lorraine's voice.
At this moment they are full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
Opposite them is the enemy that their Ruman thinks about day and night, the enemy who represents the shame of the Ruman, is opposite them right now.
Beat him~!
Catch him~!
Kill him~!
Let everyone know that Ruman's pride will never be trampled on by others.
Let all the powerful and villains in the world retreat and dare not to arbitrarily bully the Ruman.
Let all Ruman people walk freely under the sun.
No matter when, no matter where, all Ruman people can proudly speak out their identities~!
Let them be proud of being a member of this country~!
Although the empire has always claimed. The great Ruman people have always been civilized and fraternal,
Kind, magnanimous, and ethical. Slap the left cheek, then move the right cheek over.
But everyone knows that Rumans are out-and-out puppies.
They admire justice and like blood for blood and eye for eye~!
The bones are full of pride, fierceness, self-arrogance, and you will be rewarded.
Revenge is more important than life.
This is the pride of a nation that has stood as the first power in the mainland for a thousand years. They can arrogantly overlook all countries and regard their offense as a great shame.
He also thinks that only the heads and flesh and blood of the enemy can be used to honour their shame.
When they stood on the battlefield against Amor and Hadu, the number one enemy of the Ruman Empire, the enthusiasm for revenge made them lose their calm, become fanatical and bloodthirsty.
The cold autumn rain showered on them, but it could not extinguish the flame in their hearts.
On the contrary, around their bodies, there was even a white mist of énén, as if the rain had been evaporated by their high fighting will.
Ruman’s soldiers can’t wait to wash away their twenty years of shame with their weapons.
For every soldier who took part in the war, it was the supreme glory to be able to blade the enemies of the empire.
Lorraine waved his long sword vigorously and shouted: "Raise the flag, prepare to fight~!"
The military flag, which had been hidden for a long time, was raised high, and the flag was soaked by rain the first moment it was unfolded, hunting and dancing in the wind and rain.
The most eye-catching is the big red eagle flag represented by the Ruman Legion. On the top of the flag pole stands a golden flying eagle with its wings spread out.
Then there is the blue coalition flag representing the peacekeeping force headquarters, and the golden lion flag representing the Almohad Empire.
Among Rulin's flags, there is even an iron eagle flag of the Feiying Group Security Army, which represents the strength of the Royal Sī people.
This ォ is their true strength. To hu the enemy, and to maximize combat power.
Except for a part of the new army, the rest are basically all from the Ruman Army.
Only Rumanren will absolutely obey Lorraine's command, without any discount. Only they hated General Hadu so much that they dared to fight head-to-head with the enemy.
The enemy in the distance saw the densely packed banners here and there was a slight movement at first, but then there was a burst of enthusiastic shouts.
They originally thought that the opposite was just a mob of the new army, and there was not much oil and water. But now it seems that a big fish was caught.
How can this not make them ecstatic?
With a low horn rang.
Those soldiers also broke out fanatical shouts.
A dense phalanx formed by southern soldiers, headed by rain and foot on muddy water, came towards the coalition camp.
In the hazy heavy rain, only the vague black shadows of the opposing square could be seen, and it was impossible to tell how many soldiers the enemy had sent.
Ruman soldiers and Almohad soldiers stood firmly on the fortifications by the camp, clenched their weapons with both hands, and tried their best to open their eyes in the rain, staring at the approaching enemy on the opposite side.
At this moment, all bows, arrows, and artillery lose their function, and the battle between the two sides is the legionary combat power formed by the strength of each soldier.
One mile, half a mile, three hundred feet, one hundred feet...
Until they could see a figure in the opposite array, the soldiers of the Southern Army yelled "Kill~!"
Amid the shouts, they raised their weapons and rushed to the coalition positions.
They fell in the slippery muddy water, but quickly got up again and fell again, still supporting the ground with their weapons, standing up and rolling and climbing to climb the high slope.
The coalition soldiers guarding the top of the also let out a roar.
The shield hand in the front row raised the huge tower shield high and lowered his body. The front tuǐ bowed his back foot deeply into the muddy water. Prepared for the collision.
The spearman in the second row flattened the spear in his hand without saying a word, and the sharp spear pointed at the small gap in the middle of the shield.
At this time the enemy had already rushed to the front shouting.
Immediately afterwards, the weapon and shield collided with each other, and a series of dull noises were made.
Under their violent collision, the originally neat front line suddenly became distorted.
At this time, the officer Ruman next to him roared loudly: stab~!
A group of spearmen shouted, stab their spears forward. The spear penetrated the thin clothes and plunged deeply.
After pulling outwards forcefully, blood and flesh splashed out at the same time, and then splashed into the muddy water. The blood sprayed out from the wound and rainwater flowed down, and the soldiers who came afterwards stepped heavily into the mud...
Nevertheless, more and more soldiers from the Southern Army came up. Pushing the Ruman's front step backward step by step.
But the southern soldiers who climbed up the mud didn't wait to stand still, and immediately saw the shield on the opposite side open. Countless shadows were killed from behind.
They were greeted by a heavy infantry in dense armor.
Those heavy infantry composed of half-orcs waved their two-handed swords, or heavy weapons such as warhammers and battle axes, and chopped the southern soldiers in front of them into two or simply smashed them away.
There were also southern soldiers fending off their weapons, rushing to hold the heavy infantry in the front line, and pulling them down the with them.
This unlucky heavy infantry was not able to stand up yet, and was immediately overwhelmed by Southern soldiers, only to hear the screams from the shadows.
In the blink of an eye, a layer of corpses was laid on the coalition front.
The following Southern Army soldiers simply stepped on the corpse, instead of on the slippery road, desperately attacking the defender above.
Lorraine calmly observed the fierce battlefield. The cold wind caught the shower and the others were already trembling, but Lorraine could not feel the slightest cold.
The heavy rain became a barrier, blocking the sight of both sides, and Lorraine could only use the front-line liaison to grasp the battle line.
Judging from the reported news, the current situation on the two fronts is stable. Hardu did not try his best, and immediately suppressed all the forces to attack.
On the contrary, the current number of soldiers participating in the Confederate Army is equal to that of the Allied Forces, about 30,000.
Although the front line is tense, it is not dangerous.
Although the rebels in the north of the camp are aggressively offensive, their equipment and quality are not as good as Almohad's new army, and the new army soldiers are still able to hold it.
What's more, Lorraine sent the Almohad imperial army to patrol the front, ready to stop the leak.
The southern front is Haddou's army, which is much better than Almohad's new army in terms of equipment and personnel quality.
Lorraine did not dare to relax a little when dealing with Hardu. Hardu's men were all veterans who had been fighting for many years. The officers had rich experience and the morale of the soldiers was high. The new army of Almohad always wins more with less. It is not inferior to Ruman regular army.
Lorraine sent the elite Ruman Army to fight with them, and defended the battle line with great abilities. And it was a brigade of the Knights Templar that was sent to stop the leak.
The Knights Templar can be regarded as one of the most powerful troops on the mainland, belonging to the same rank as the Royal Guard of the Ruman Empire.
Regardless of the fact that the team sent this time is only a thousand-man brigade, even if Queen Isabella is the cousin of Pope Hilme lìa, it is already a big face for the Almohad.
As long as they use them well, they can top two legions.
Plugging this kind of work is easy for the Knights Templar.
According to the current situation, the two sides are evenly matched, and the Southern Army's losses will be greater.
Behind Lorraine stood a black-clad security officer, wearing a silver and black uniform of the captain of the security military district. His face was a bird of prey and his expression was cold.
The other officers behind Lorraine faintly avoided this person. This guy usually doesn't say a word, it's difficult to get along with, and his eyes are very uncomfortable.
But watching the people around him closely following Lorraine can tell that this man in black, who is usually silent and silent, is a cron of Lorraine.
You know, on the other side of Lorraine stood Ferguson's heart, Miss Vera.
The security officer bowed his head to Lorraine's side and whispered: "My lord, do you want me to prepare?"
Lorraine shook his head and said: "It's too early, Hal. Hardu has no intention of fighting us. He is only relying on his strength to consume our physical strength and morale."
Halli nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."
Then he stood back where he was, without saying a word.
Suddenly the horn of withdrawal sounded on the opposite side, and the southern army, who had fought for nearly an hour and heard nothing, retreated like a tide.
Hassel hesitated and asked, "My lord, do you organize a counterattack."
Lorraine thought about it, then waved his hand and said, "No, tell the soldiers to save their energy.
After that there was a big battle. "
Seeing the enemy retreat, the coalition soldiers cheered first, but before they were happy, a cold wind blew, and they felt the coldness of the rain.
But before they could retreat back to camp, the hastily drum trumpet sounded again.
After a group of soldiers were changed, the Southern Army rushed up again.
At this time, some coalition soldiers were trembling with tired hands and feet because of the war.
Lorraine sighed. Hardu's trick was ridiculous, but it worked.
He used rain and the number of people to offset all his advantages, but he exerted his advantages in strength and location, forcing himself and him to fight a war of attrition in his territory.
Every time Hardu sent troops equivalent to his own, Lorraine could only do his best to deal with it.
And the other half of the troops in Hadu's hands can rest, especially Priska City is in Hadu's hands, and his supplies are more calm than his own.
If nothing happens, it only takes two days, and the coalition forces fighting uninterrupted in the cold rain will be exhausted.
Then Hardu's entire army pressed, and his side should collapse.
Lorraine smiled and thought to himself that in that situation, he might break through forcibly under the cover of the Forbidden Army and the Knights Templar.
The 40,000 troops of the coalition are fully explained here.
After the sky was completely dark, the Southern Army returned to camp.
Fighting in the rain made the officers and soldiers more tired than usual, especially the cold and excessive force caused a large number of sick soldiers that night.
Even Hassel sneezed constantly because of the rain.
Early the next morning, the weather still did not clear up, and the rain continued.
Even Hassel felt that a continuous rainy day like this was difficult to appear even in the rainy season, how did they run into it this time.
Hearing what Hassel said, Lorraine's heart flashed a little haze, Hassel was right, this situation is too abnormal, and abnormal is a demon.
Just after breakfast, Hardu launched another attack.
The combat effectiveness of the coalition forces is obviously not as good as that of yesterday, not only because of the large number of patients attrition, the number of soldiers sent to the battlefield has decreased, and the soldiers' physical strength has not fully recovered.
After half an hour of fighting, more and more gaps appeared on the crotch line. The Southern Army repeatedly broke through the formation of the coalition forces. The Imperial Army and the Knights Templar, who were responsible for blocking the gap, ran back and forth, exhausted.
Fortunately, the enemy quickly retreated again after leaving a corpse.
After the enemy retreated, Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief. He now somewhat understands the ideas of the defeated generals. Under the unfavorable situation, he is struggling to support himself. He can only passively accept the move but cannot use the method to deal with it. The generals are under great pressure.
It was the first time for Lord Lord Lorraine to be beaten in this way, which made Lorraine feel extremely depressed.
After the battle, Lorraine left the command position and walked to the front line to inspect the camp.
The forefront is full of traces after the battle, the broken limbs of the dead soldiers' bodies, and the chopped weapons cluttered in the mud.
The ground was an indescribable mud, and people couldn't help but want to vomit.
However, many unstrength soldiers sat resting on the muddy ground mixed with flesh and blood.
Lorraine couldn't help sighing inwardly: This is just the beginning. It seems that Hadu really has his superiority.
This battle was hard enough~!
Seeing Lorraine coming, the soldiers of Ruman's Legion in front of them struggled with their weapons and wanted to stand up and salute.
Lorraine took a step to support their arms and pulled them up one by one, but stopped them from saluting and said: "Change a place and take a good rest. Brothers have worked hard."
Although the soldiers' faces were a little pale due to fatigue and cold, they still shouted loudly, "For the empire~!"
During the battle, all the soldiers could see that under the banner of the Ruman Empire and the peacekeeping forces, their commander, the deputy commander-in-chief of Lorraine, like all soldiers, commanded calmly under heavy rain.
Lorraine and the soldiers shared the joys and sorrows, and these ordinary soldiers were deeply moved. For the soldiers, it is indeed a lucky thing to have such a general.
"For the empire~!" Lorraine raised his hand and saluted, then looked at the soldiers' condition and found that it was not serious. He nodded immediately and said: "Find a clean place and rest well. Only to regain strength.ォCan continue to fight."
"Yes, sir." Several soldiers agreed, and walked away slowly, supporting each other.
The priests quickly rescued the wounded, and the guy brought a bucket of hot soup to restore the soldiers' strength.
The dead bodies of coalition soldiers were removed from the ground and moved into tents in the camp, covered with white cloth.
After the inspection, Lorraine knew that it would not be so easy next time. The casualties were nearly half more than yesterday, and it seemed that the enemy could not wait.
Without waiting for Lorraine to catch his breath, Hardu quickly launched a fourth offensive. At this time, the physical strength of all officers and men in the army was approaching its limit.
Even the madmen of the Knights Templar began to feel overwhelmed.
Part of the new army still collapsed. If it weren't for the loyalty to the Almohad Empire and Queen Isabella, these new army might have stopped fighting.
The two-day battle was the hardest battle they encountered in their short experience in the military. Whether it was physical or psychological, these soldiers who served for a year have reached their limit.
Even Ruman's army ~EbookFREE.me~ has been compressed and retreated.
Lorraine immediately ordered to retreat to the second line of defense and cede the perimeter of the camp to the enemy.
The second line of defense was built according to the topography of the camp, and a large defensive wall composed of large carts for transporting materials and wood together formed a height of one person.
Fill the spaces between the vehicles with dense soil, and then bury the sharpened wooden stakes outwards. The enemy needs to work hard to take it down.
The center of the second line of defense is the coalition headquarters with a two-pole banner. Lorraine can already be there to watch the battle between coalition soldiers and the southern army.
Worthy of standing on the second line of defense, the Southern Army withdrew again.
The battlefield suddenly became quiet, and even the drum horns of the Ambulance Army stopped.
This weird silence made the coalition soldiers accustomed to slashing hearts heavy.
From Lorraine to soldiers, everyone knows that Hardu's will be real soon! . .. Pavilion
