Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World
Chapter 740: Pursuing the victory
The Skitarii carried out Webster's orders and retreated from the battlefields of Hestia.
Due to the hasty retreat due to failure, the already chaotic retreat quickly turned into a disaster.
Those soldiers who ran away in a hurry first rushed into the baggage camp in the rear and robbed each other. Those who came later started fighting with those who came earlier. These people who usually fight for gods have no regard for the teachings in the holy scriptures and fight with each other. They struggled with each other for a few valuables, and even exchanged swords.
Those who chose to save their lives chose to escape through small roads, so that there were too many people crowded together and they could not move.
The Protestant army naturally would not give up this excellent opportunity. Under Andrew's order, they let go and chased the Skitarii.
Even the disintegrated Corner Bay Alliance troops reorganized and chased the previously arrogant Guardsmen and Soldiers with great shouts.
At the Battle of Hestia, the Protestant Alliance won a complete victory.
According to statistics after cleaning the battlefield, the Protestant Army killed more than 8,000 people and captured more than 15,000 people. The Skitarii Army suffered a total loss of more than 23,000 people, which is not a heavy loss.
The Protestant Army only lost less than 3,000 people, which also included the losses of the useless Corner Bay Alliance Army.
Mariana, the Crimson Flame Witch, who witnessed the entire battle with her own eyes, once again raised her evaluation of the army under the eldest son's command.
There is no doubt that the army of Arda was at the heart of this campaign.
When the Corner Alliance Army on the right collapsed, it was the mercenaries affiliated with the Alda Army who completed the U-turn in front of the enemy at a jaw-dropping speed and re-consolidated the right wing of the entire military formation. Their qualities demonstrated during the change of formation It is really amazing. From the collapse of the friendly forces to the reconstruction of the right wing, the time given by God was so short. If it were another army, it might not have had time to reorganize, and the skitarii coming from the right would have been like a collision. Give them a heavy blow like a hammer.
When the Skitarii approached with diagonal tactics, it was also the infantry line of the Arda army that decisively attacked forward. With the cooperation of artillery, it defeated the central part of the Skitarii's ladder formation and cut the enemy in two in one fell swoop. part. The coordination between the Arda infantry and artillery was flawless. When the artillery cleared obstacles for the advancing infantry, not once did the artillery shells hit their own friendly troops.
Mariana was filled with admiration and regret at the same time. Her son's army performed so well that she didn't even wait for the opportunity to use its trump card, making magic the decisive force to turn the tide for the second time.
According to her original plan, this battle should replicate the miracle at Eton. When the Protestant army was about to be defeated, she gathered the power of all the spellcasters to kill Webster with a fireball, turning defeat into victory for the Protestant army.
In this way, the status of spell casters in people's hearts will rise again.
Well, this is not bad! After the regret, Mariana felt another surge of pride, this time for Paul Graiman.
News of the Battle of Hestia spread quickly throughout the Horn region like a bird with wings, and then continued to spread to various places on the continent.
The cities along the coast of Horn Bay fell into carnival. The people of the Protestant Alliance could not imagine that the situation that was in danger not long ago would have such a big reversal.
Those inland countries that supported the Church of the Horn were generally depressed, and their rulers tried to suppress the news or claim that the Battle of Hestia was nothing more than a minor setback.
Unwilling to fail, Webster regrouped his forces and wrote to the Holy See asking for greater support.
But the reply from the Holy City made his heart fall to the bottom. This time the Holy See rejected his request, saying that it was impossible to invest endless resources in the bottomless pit of Corner Bay, especially when Aldo's merchant fleet refused to provide the Holy See with After providing services.
Webster was instructed by the higher-ups of the Holy See to use the resources at hand to achieve victory.
"Go! Heavenly Father will always protect His beloved children!"
Webster gritted his teeth and read the last sentence, then tore the letter into pieces with hands trembling with anger in front of the messenger.
When Webster was struggling to rebuild his army for the second time, a reinforcement from afar rekindled his fighting spirit.
Giles' army arrives.
They set out from the southern border of Aldo, originally intending to attack the small city-states that lined up with the Protestant Alliance in the north of Corner Bay. However, the Church of Corner Bay repeatedly sent envoys asking them to continue southward to join Webster, and refused to give them a commission. Blackmail.
Giles made some compromises, and after significantly raising the commission price, his army entered the interior of the Horn and headed further south through the territory controlled by the church.
But before they arrived, Webster, who felt he had regained the advantage, led the army westward. When they arrived at Collins, they saw Webster who had retreated with the remaining defeated troops.
The general of Giles's army was a viscount named Fernando Paton. He accused Webster of launching an attack before they arrived. If the "Undead Army" appeared on the battlefield of Hestia, they would definitely be defeated. Those rural people in the northwest who only know how to scare people with their strange tricks have suffered a lot.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Webster, who was in urgent need of replenishing his strength, showed a rare humility. He "admitted" his mistakes and hoped that his new ally would help him regain victory.
So, another great battle broke out in Collins, and Payton led 3,000 "Undead Army" soldiers and 3,000 auxiliary infantry as the fresh troops of the Crusader Army to the battlefield.
The spellcasters recruited by Giles played their due value, allowing their employer to continue to have the secret medicine to maintain the powerful combat effectiveness of the "Undead Army". Although the effect was a little worse than the original medicine provided by the Secret Society, it was completely in Giles' hands and was not constrained by anything.
So the Grand Duke of Greedy Wolf was relieved to send so many Undead Army soldiers to Horn Bay at one time.
For this battle, Payton learned the lesson of Dirk Doyle's night attack on Lion Harbor last time.
According to the wizard's recollection, his soldiers were knocked to the ground one by one by a kind of metal projectile, and after he and Webster exchanged the experience of the Battle of Hestia, he confirmed the attack method of the Arda army.
The failure to defend against the Yankees' flame weapons must be because the armor was not thick enough. Payton decided to continue to strengthen the protection of his soldiers.
When the Protestant Army broke into Collins, they met Paton and Webster who were waiting at the necessary place, and the battle began!
