113 The Legion Missing

George ordered the army to move back, and the wizards lined up in front of the chariot, forming the second line of defense in the retreat. The main force of the Nanal Corps finally came from behind and they also passed through the night march. Seeing that Qingqi was broken up and the enemy was in front, the eyes were red in the pursuit, and the two sides launched a chase in the desert. .

No matter how weird the battle plan made by Amon, after all, it also needs to be backed by the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. If the enemy cannot meet a tough battle, no clever command is useless. Orebaine was surprised to find that the An-La legion he was pursuing was not as vulnerable as the legend. They advanced and retreated in an integrated and orderly manner, and the soldiers were not timid. Although they ran away at full speed, they did not fight.

The An-Ra legion entered the army very slowly, but escaped very quickly. It fought several times in the desert and detached from it. There were hundreds of casualties. There were also a lot of exhausted horses, but in the end the large troops were withdrawn calmly. Camp by the sea.

Although I had heard that the agent had reported the situation of Camp Amon, Orebaine was surprised when he saw it. He secretly said what Amon was doing. Would you like to live here? Except for the chariots brought in this attack, the remaining chariots of the An-La legion lined up outside the camp and formed a semi-circular defensive wall with sand and soil on it.

Loose sand is easy to fall down and flow. It is not suitable for building walls. However, the An-La legion used empty sacks to transport wet grain to fill the wet sand. The city walls. There were five gaps in the city wall, and the troops withdrawn by the An-La legion were divided into five strands. They flowed back into the big camp like quicksand, and then quietly disappeared.

Looking up outside the camp, many Hati soldiers couldn't help taking a breath, and there were actually five tall fortresses in the barracks. It turned out that they dragged the heavy ship in the sea to the shore along the shoal and placed it on the sand dunes. The hull was also protected by sandbags to prevent fire attack. The upper and lower three-story ship strings became the arrow tower. If you break in through the gap in the city wall, you will face these five tall battle fortresses.

In the desert, there is no danger, there is almost no favorable terrain available, and the side that owns the fortifications naturally takes great advantage in defense. The disadvantage is that such fortifications cannot move and can only be fixed. Amon's order was to keep the army at bay.

Orebaine has led the main force of the Nannar Army to chase here. It is impossible to retreat without fighting, and then ordered the attack. The soldiers rushed to the defensive wall like a tide. Unexpectedly, they did not encounter any resistance. The opponent was like an air battalion. The forward troops rushed in through five gaps.

At this time, I heard the sound of orders, and countless heads suddenly appeared from the five battlefields. The arrows were shot like rain, but they were only fired at the periphery of the city wall. The focus was on the gap, which was just at the edge of the high range. Temporarily blocked the influx of more enemies. The commander of Hardy also knew that only by winning the five battlefields could he successfully capture the camp, and launched an assault. At this time, the Sword Shields of the An-La Corps rushed out from behind the battlefield.

The first fierce battle was fought in a small battlefield within the defensive wall. Legionnaire soldiers staying in the big camp had long been waiting for this battle. Most of the troops in front of the Nannar Corps who stormed into the wall were Fighting, a small part returned.

After the tentative battle, the Nannar Army set off its chariots and heavy horses and launched a comprehensive charge. The wall of the camp of the An-La Army was destroyed in many places. The war began around the offensive and defensive saws of the five battlefields. After a day and night of fighting, the casualties on both sides were heavy, but the Nannar Army was unable to launch an attack again, and it did not win the camp.

The Nannar Corps was repulsed, and a total of nearly a thousand people were killed and injured in this series of battles, which was also a major defeat. The reason for the failure is simple. First, it is the misjudgment of the enemy's situation. Second, the combat situation is unfavorable. The most important reason is to underestimate the enemy.

The main force of the Nannar Corps was close to 3,000 people. At first, it was not to attack the large battalion, but to be pursued by the forward troops sent by Amon. Orebain could not gather the entire army to participate in this battle, but the Amon Corps was a 5,000-strong army of the entire army, which was almost double the strength of the opponent.

The An-La Legion is backed by the wall and the fortress. The defense is already dominant, and the casualty of the attacking party will be very large, which is enough to make up for the gap between the two sides. The combat effectiveness of the An-La Legion is not as simple as people think in advance, and there are no mistakes in defensive command.

Orebaine furiously attacked, but he could not sustain heavy casualties for a long time. He was also very clear that it was no longer possible to win the opponent's camp. He had to gather the army and step back immediately, and he had to guard the other side from hiding behind him.

The An-Ra legion won all three battles. In particular, although the battle of the camp was hard, it was the most important victory, which greatly hurt the enemy. However, from a strategic point of view, they also missed two excellent opportunities. The first time was when the vanguard led by Amon broke through the line and led the main force of the Nannar Corps out of the camp, the Amon Corps stayed behind. More than three thousand generals could have attacked each other's camp while taking advantage of it.

The second time was when Orebain withdrew, the main force of the Amon Legion could have attacked from behind to hide, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe, and achieved a fundamental victory in the battle. However, the Amon Legion did not do so. The battle plan drawn up by Amon and George was to stick to it after the vanguard had withdrawn from the camp.

The reason is also very simple. They still lack confidence in the combat effectiveness of the An-La Legion. They do not think that these soldiers can achieve an overwhelming victory in the frontal battlefield. After all, they are a brand-name army that has only been rigorously trained for a few months. This is similar to playing chess. Even if the chess path in your heart is noble, you have to see what kind of chess pieces you have. If Amon was under the command of the Horus Corps, I am afraid that these two opportunities would never be missed.

It is intriguing that when the Nannar Corps attacked the camp, the regiment leader Amon and the guard captain Medanzo were not in the army. The highest commander of the regiment was George, and John was the first commander of the battlefield. After the Nannar Army retreated, the casualties of the An-Ra Army were not small, and they needed to rest and re-strengthen their defense lines. George did not rush to order the pursuit.

No matter what kind of army, it also needs a real battlefield to sharpen its edge. The appearance of the An-La Legion is completely different from that when it just left Monforth. The changes that have taken place can be described as reborn. The fact that such a victory can be achieved in actual combat has made the previous training effect qualitatively sublimated. Now if you pull out and definitely dare to fight a big battle, the soldiers ’spirits are almost like a new person.

...

The great magician Cezanne, who came from the main battlefield to break through the order, finally woke up from a coma. When he opened his eyes, he heard the shouting sound of not far away, and asked the servants standing beside the bed in panic. It was learned that the Nannar Corps was aggressively attacking. The wizard was startled, instinctively closed his eyes and prayed to the gods secretly.

Like the commanders of other legions, Cézanne was not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the An-Ra legion. This time, he ordered the An-Ra leg to the east to rescue, but there was no way. It was nothing more than trying to attract the opposing forces to fight for the main battlefield. Respite, to put it bluntly, they are an abandoned son.

I finally sent the order. Before the An-La legion was up, the opponent had already besieged heavily. There are ten *** s who can't keep it. He, the seriously injured great magician, may also lose his life. herein! But Cezanne waited for a long time, and there was no fighting movement around the camp. Instead, the shouting and killing in the distance gradually subsided and finally returned to peace. Once again, the An-La Legion actually repelled the opponent's attack!

Soon after, Lord George came in and sat down on the bed to comfort him: "Master Cezanne, I heard that you woke up and rushed over immediately, thank goodness, although your injuries were not minor, but mainly the mana consumption Too big, as long as you take a good rest for a while, it will be fine, but you ca n’t use your power for the time being. This may not be a good thing. Maybe it ’s your chance to break through the eighth level of achievement. ”

How could Cezanne talk about divine cultivation at this time, struggling with the help of his servant, and sat up and asked, "I heard the shouting and killing. Is the Hati army coming, what is the situation like?"

George smiled slightly: "We saw the order you brought. We sent the vanguard yesterday to rescue Pharaoh. But we encountered a block from the Nannar Army halfway. We had to withdraw to the camp and have a bitter battle. Repelled the enemy. You can rest assured that you are absolutely safe in the An-La legion. "

Cezanne said anxiously: "I don't care about my safety. Otherwise, I won't come here to death. I will fight here with the Nannar Corps. What will His Majesty do? Where is he? I want to see the head of the legion and announce His Majesty's order in person! "

George replied, "Master Amon has seen His Majesty's order. When we are fighting here with the other army, the Lord Corps Master has already personally rescued Pharaoh."

Cezanne was taken aback again: "Master Amon went to rescue Pharaoh himself, how much army and weight did he bring?"

George said solemnly: "It's all important to take away, how many people are not important, what is important is to be able to reverse the war situation, otherwise no matter how many victories we have won here, it is of little significance."

...

How many people did Amon leave with the Legion? George did not dare to tell Cezanne the truth, or the seriously injured wizard had to fall off the bed. Amon took only one bare-bones guard captain, Medanzo, not to mention the soldiers, not even a horse.

Amon's space weapon contained a lot of supplies, barely enough for a legion to eat and drink, but instead of going through the desert to find Pharaoh's army, he took Medanzo into the enemy's rear.
