Great Plains of the Kingdom of Leyte.
Beechburg.
This is a fort near the south.
It was once the fiefdom of Duke Beech of the Kingdom of Wright.
After the convoy entered the Great Plains.
This ducal fortress was quickly captured.
Thousands of serfs from the fortress joined the guard.
The original plan of the escort army was to use this place as a starting point and radiate around.
Attack noble fiefs everywhere.
Use the serf army to hold back the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Wright.
The escort army uses its own mobility to launch attacks in various places.
Originally there was no main force of the Wright Kingdom on the Great Plains.
There's nothing wrong with this plan.
But after the coalition forces of the Xinhui and Lannis kingdoms moved north.
The situation on the Great Plains took a turn for the worse.
Even if the serf army occupies the fortress, it is far from being a match for the coalition forces.
Just a few days.
A large number of newly formed serf armies were defeated and annihilated.
The coalition forces used extremely cruel methods.
It frightened the serf armies everywhere.
It also frightened those serfs who were ready to make trouble in the noble fiefdoms.
This let the guards know that they allowed the coalition forces to defeat the serf armies everywhere.
It's almost time for the escort to be annihilated.
therefore!
Philip gathered all his escorts and marched south to Beechburg.
Gather the serf army along the way.
Mixed together into a legion numbering 50,000.
Seize the gap in the battlefield.
Philip's coalition forces appeared at the rear of the coalition forces.
Bikini Castle was easily recaptured.
After Phillip checked the surrounding terrain.
A large number of small forts were quickly built here.
A large flag was erected to attract the dispersed serf army.
Wait until Lannis's coalition comes to their senses.
The number of regiments stationed here in Bikini Castle has reached 80,000.
And a large number of defense facilities were built.
Some serfs even reclaimed the land.
He made plans to defend Bikini Castle.
And this gave Lannis' coalition a headache.
"The width of our front."
"There are more than a hundred guard towers."
"Ten more fortresses."
"Although they are all made of earth."
"But we lack siege weapons and want to capture these places."
"It can only be filled by human lives."
Lannis' commander said while looking at the map.
"But we are not without advantages."
"The other side is all a serf army."
"Although our peasants and soldiers are not very effective in combat, they have all undergone military training."
"Coupled with the support of nobles from various places, our military strength is equal to that of the opponent."
"Furthermore, some of the bed crossbows we brought can also be used as siege weapons."
"It's just that the attack speed is slower."
"Now there is news from the border fortress."
"The nobles of the Kingdom of Hasting have been defeated."
"The coalition forces of the Alpha Legion retreated."
"Fifty thousand siege infantry regiments will be sent to the border to support."
"So the advantage is mine."
"We can slowly surround you."
"When the time comes, they will be the ones who are anxious!"
The commander of Lannis had just finished speaking.
The commander of Xinhui Kingdom on the side shook his head.
"No."
"The direction of the 50,000 legion support is the mercenary city."
"We can only rely on ourselves here."
"And!"
"According to the news coming from our kingdom."
"A bigger war is being planned within the Alpha Kingdom."
"If we take too long."
"At that time, Alpha invades from the direction of our country."
"We are faced with the dilemma of whether to go back or stay and attack."
"So I think we have to fight quickly now, and we must not wait slowly."
After the news came out.
The nobles of both countries looked surprised.
"In a bigger war, does the Alpha Kingdom want one country to fight against four of us?"
"Now the Alpha Kingdom has given up commerce, handicrafts, and even agriculture, and the whole country has already been running wild on land in the war."
"For them, war is the only option."
"Either destroy us or disintegrate directly."
"So a bigger war is bound to happen."
"Damn it, my territory must not be destroyed by the damn serfs like the Kingdom of Wright."
"Yes, my family, my wife and children are all in the castle. Once the Alpha Kingdom invades, they will not have the strength to stop the wolf-like Alpha army."
"It cannot be delayed, it must be resolved as soon as possible, even if the casualties are heavy."
"Even if we want to die, we can't let our nobles die."
"Now the war in the Wright Kingdom has been won."
"They must send legions to assist."
"Yes, we will never sacrifice our lives for the Kingdom of Wright."
The nobles quickly made their decision.
First!
Quick victory.
second!
Reinforcements were requested, thirty thousand in number, and must arrive as soon as possible.
third!
Siege machinery, a large number of siege machinery.
Their requests were quickly sent to the capital of the Kingdom of Leyte.
Here it is.
The nobles of the Wright Kingdom saw this condition.
Also filled with righteous indignation.
One by one, they cursed the nobles of the coalition forces as ungrateful.
They held off the Alpha army at the border.
Now he actually does this to himself.
Seeing that the nobles were already starting to quarrel.
At this time the messenger of the gods intervened.
"Everyone."
"The top priority is to deal with our internal enemies."
"After victory, there will be plenty of time to resolve each other's grievances."
"If internal strife breaks out now."
"It will only make our enemies live longer."
"You don't want the invading legions on the Great Plains to exist forever."
“So, you have to compromise when it’s time to compromise.”
"I agree to all three conditions."
"There are still 60,000 reserves in the capital of the Wright Kingdom."
"Dispatch 20,000 people and bring siege equipment to support."
"Limited at the same time, the enemy must be annihilated within two days."
The nobles of the Wright Kingdom had no other option at this time.
Everyone could only nod in agreement.
Then the kingdom's legions moved south.
Heading to the battlefields of the Great Plains.
"Kill!"
On the plain outside Beech Castle.
The supported coalition forces began an onslaught.
Catapults, bed crossbows, and ballistae fired volleys.
The defensive sentry tower wall built with earth collapsed with a "rumbling" sound.
Then the wolf-like noble coalition rushed in.
The serf soldiers held long guns and guarded the entrance of the guard tower.
"Stab!"
The squad leader roared angrily.
Spear thrust.
Even a serf's spear was lethal.
The noble who rushed up did not check and was shot in the stomach.
But every nobleman in this era is not a coward.
Grab the spear and draw it hard.
Pull the serf soldiers out fiercely.
Then he fell down.
Then large groups of elite soldiers poured in.
Kill the serf soldiers.
The head was chopped off and placed on a spear.
Inside Beech Castle.
"Your Excellency."
"They have support."
"Our defenses can no longer stop us."
"In one day, the serf army lost more than 10,000 people."
"If we continue to hold on, the morale of the serf army will not be able to withstand it, and it will collapse."
The deputy commander of the escort said.
Philip nodded.
"How many days did we hold out in Beechburg?"
"Ten days."
"Almost."
"This time is already the limit of what we can hold out here."
"The battle in the Mercenary City now depends entirely on themselves."
"Send the order!"
"Gather all the legions immediately and get out of the city!"
"Decisive battle."
"This time, we win, we live."
"Defeat!"
"Just die here."
"Yes!"
"Boom~"
Compared to the Red Mountain collar outside the fort.
Here it is.
Philip gathered an army of 70,000 serfs along the hills.
Using phalanxes and phalanxes, a dense array of spears was created.
Serf training time is short.
Very few people can ride a horse.
Even fewer can use bows and arrows.
Only the spear phalanx is most suitable for them.
At the same time, many sword and shield soldiers were scattered in front of the spear phalanx.
On both wings were cavalry.
In the back row are crossbowmen.
Philip pushed his army to its limit.
And on the opposite side.
The coalition forces also formed a head-on mass formation against the serf army.
Lance against lance, cavalry against cavalry.
Compared to Philip, the coalition soldiers were more elite.
So Philip chose to defend and counterattack.
Pike infantry flat-bottomed lance.
Wait for the enemy to attack.
The coalition forces took the advantage and took the lead in ordering their own pike infantry to dispatch.
"The Tenth Square."
"Attack!"
The infantry phalanx holding long guns moved slowly.
At the same time, those at the front were all skirmishers armed with single swords and scimitars.
Their role is when the two armies approach.
Rush through the forest of spears and rush to the spearmen on the opposite side to kill them.
The only drawback of the pike infantry is that they are afraid of close quarters.
The skirmish lines on both sides serve a purpose.
When the 10th phalanx of the allied forces came slowly.
Philip ordered likewise.
"Attack!"
The phalanx facing them moved forward.
After a while.
Skirmishers collided.
These soldiers wearing only light armor need courage the most.
Whoever wins will take the initiative to attack the enemy's spearmen next.
Before the pikemen engaged in battle.
In the open spaces on both sides, the fighting cries of skirmishers could be heard throughout the wilderness.
The skirmishers on Philip's side were all the best in the serf army.
The skirmishers of the coalition forces were trained peasant soldiers.
Compared with the latter, the skirmishing battles of the serf army are more amazing and richer.
They were all killed in the war.
It didn't take long.
Allied skirmishers were killed one after another.
Seeing this, the remaining skirmishers turned around and ran back.
But soon!
"Trick~"
The spear behind him thrust out.
Kill these fleeing skirmishers.
At the same time, the actions of the Union Army's pikemen came to a standstill.
"Attack!"
Seeing this, the serf skirmishers rushed forward together.
The spear thrust forward, and the skirmishers approaching were stabbed to death one after another.
But at the same time, some skirmishers relied on flexible movement to get into the forest of guns.
"Kill!"
The skirmishers who rushed in used their body's flexibility.
He stabbed to death the spearmen in the front row one after another.
The coalition's spear phalanx began to waver.
At this time, the serf army's spear phalanx arrived.
"Come on!"
The centurion of the phalanx roared.
He raised his spear and stabbed the opponent with his spear.
It didn't take long.
The coalition's spear phalanx began to fall into chaos.
The soldier turned and ran.
When he is about to win.
A troop of cavalry appeared from the side.
"Attack!"
This coalition had only five hundred cavalry and launched a flanking attack.
Directly cut off the serf spear phalanx.
The victory that was seen before his eyes was about to be defeated in the blink of an eye.
But success or failure in one corner of this battlefield is not enough to affect the situation of the war.
now.
The coalition forces and the serf army strangled each other with their spears.
A major struggle broke out between the two sides.
Whoever can withstand it first and not be defeated will win the final victory.
"Da da da~"
The messenger soldiers kept bringing the news back to Philip.
"Report."
"The left wing spear phalanx gained the advantage, the enemy troops took the initiative to retreat, and our army occupied the enemy's position."
"Report."
"The Chinese army was at a disadvantage, and the opponent threw nobles as skirmishers. Our army was outgunned and retreated thirty miles."
"Report."
"The right wing pike was cut off by the cavalry, and the enemy was destroying the right wing pike phalanx."
After hearing the news, Phillip stood up suddenly.
"Right wing!"
"The enemy's right-wing cavalry moved."
"Okay."
"That means there is a loophole in their central army's position."
"Command to escort the cavalry."
"Mount with me!"
On the battlefield.
The escort troops, which had been dormant, were dispatched.
And at the same time!
At the command center of the coalition forces, the serf army's cavalry was also seen moving.
"Report."
"Your Excellency, the enemy's cavalry is going to support the center!"
Lannis and Xinhui's commander looked over the battlefield.
There was a look of pride in his eyes.
“After all, I couldn’t bear it anymore.”
"Support the Chinese Army."
"Stupid."
"You destroyed two of the three lines of defense."
"Support the middle, so what if we defend it."
"Your right wing is also gone. Use a detour from the right wing to outflank us."
After saying that.
Give orders decisively.
"Call the cavalry reserve to support the right wing."
"After defeating the opponent's right wing, encircle the center."
"End this war once and for all!"
"As you command, Your Excellency."
The flag on the battlefield was played.
A cavalry numbering five thousand, stationed on the right wing, serving as both a reserve and escort command, began to move.
And at this moment.
Philip, who rushed towards the Chinese army, was waiting for this moment.
"Report."
"Your Excellency Philippe."
"The enemy's reserves on the right wing have moved."
"Went to the right wing."
There was a cruel look in the corner of Phillip's eyes.
"Okay."
"Just move."
"Brothers."
"Winning or losing is today."
"Leave a thousand broken queens behind."
"The rest of the cavalry, gather and charge northeast!"
"Come on me."
"Go!!!"
On the battlefield where they were originally fighting.
All of a sudden!
A troop of cavalry rushed out.
He rushed away from a spear target of the Chinese army.
They neither outflank nor escape.
Instead, he rushed directly towards the Chinese army command.
The coalition commander who was on the hillside showed a look of contempt on his face after seeing it.
"Idiot."
"Do you think our guards are useless?"
Beside them were a guard composed of five thousand nobles.
More than five hundred of them are magic crystal warriors.
However!
When these guards stopped in front of the escort.
Destroy everything!
Almost at the moment of contact.
The guards composed of these nobles were killed almost instantly.
And those magic crystal warriors.
Even more so at the moment of contact.
Was also put on the battlefield.
This incredible scene.
The commander of the coalition forces was stunned.
"This is impossible!"
"Our noble guards are the most powerful in combat~"
The words are not finished yet.
The escort led by Philip had already rushed in front of them.
"Haha."
"What about the Magic Crystal Warrior?"
"Look, we are all magic crystal warriors!"
These days on the plains.
Fang Yuan had already sent spies to deliver the potion.
These thousands of guards are all magic crystal warriors.
Even low-level magic crystal warriors are invincible on the battlefield!
"You guys!"
"Kill!"
Philip swung his sword and chopped off the heads of the coalition forces.
But at this time, even the opponent's command center was destroyed.
The situation on the battlefield is also irreversible.
The serf army is still too weak.
It was no longer possible to save the war.
The losses of the Guards were also heavy.
It is basically impossible to organize an attack of the previous scale.
"Send the order!"
"Assemble the escort!"
"Exit the battlefield."
"Everything that follows is left to the king of the royal capital."
"Now is his stage."
"Our mission is accomplished." "Yes!" (End of this chapter)
