At about 6:30 in the morning, the vandal vanguard of the First Vandal Army in the Carthage area retreated. It was probably because the falcons in the sky spotted a large number of troops and they knew they could not stop them, so they retreated.
At the same time, the letter bird arrived at Ores City, and the letter informed them that there was a war. It was up to them whether to surrender or to take up arms to defend the city and fight...
About an hour later, at around 7:30 in the morning, the messenger arrived at the Second Corps camp in the Hadera area.
The letter stated that if the Vandal Kingdom attacked last night and was expected to arrive before noon, its troops would probably not be less than six legions.
Let them go to the forest fortress to support them, and then retreat to the forest. With their weapons, they will still have an advantage in close combat.
If you are worried, you can retreat to the oasis deep in the Gobi in the south, and from there turn to the Ardava area, the capital of Moorish Rome.
Through close contact with the messenger bird, Yamazaki also knew that they were poisoned and so was the horse.
Fortunately, because the other party wanted to poison them all, they didn't use strong poison, so there was no way to use it.
Meidaizi wanted to help detoxify, but Yamazaki stopped her. God may be watching.
However, you can slightly stimulate their and the horse's bodies, as if they are angry and annoyed, using their minds to control their bodies, and their bodies will forcibly secrete exciting substances.
It is equivalent to taking a shot of a long-acting, but not very exciting stimulant...
At the same time, the Gron Fifth Army in Dorseo City received the order from Kuai Ma and went south to face the Vandal Fourth Army in light equipment. Those three miscellaneous army groups did not merge into one, and they could defeat them one by one.
.
There is no need for contact combat. Just follow the training and fire the crossbow bolt from a distance. Even if they use a large shield to protect themselves, they can still kill their horses.
Without horses, most of them would not be able to leave the Gobi...
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the Fifth Army of Gron met the army from the Tisdrus-Tapparata area, and the crossbows flew down in a fierce battle, followed by the army from the Takapa-Gitis area, and Ha
After encountering a defeated army in the Drout-Leptis area, they turned around and ran away.
But they had come a long way and their horses were relatively tired. In addition, the fifth regiment of Gelung went into battle lightly, so they did not run away in the end...
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the messenger arrived at the forest fortress of the Third Army.
The number of rebels outside the fortress exceeded three legions, but they lacked weapons. Therefore, after previously attacking the forest fortress, they were driven out, and then hid within a stone's throw of the enemy, encircling them without attacking, waiting for reinforcements.
Gron's third legion was also poisoned, and now there were many wounded. Most of the horses were gone, either driven away or killed.
Except for the uncertainty of poisoning, Yamasaki has seen other things. Therefore, what is written in the letter is that if the army of the Moorish Roman Kingdom set out last night and is expected to arrive before noon, its military strength will be above six legions, and more can be added at any time, so that
They broke through and retreated to the forest, waiting for reinforcements from the Second Army.
Meidaizi also stimulated their bodies, giving them the strength to move.
They are the most dangerous. If they cannot retreat to the forest within half an hour, they will be overtaken by the vanguard of the Moorish-Roman Kingdom Army.
However, what Yamazaki did not expect was that the remnants of the Third Army actually chose to attack after gaining strength.
The rebels lacked equipment and suffered many casualties under the fire of alloy crossbows. In the end, they fled in droves.
At this time, the sound of the hooves of the forward legion of the Moorish Roman Army, a regular legion, a slave legion, and thirty-six thousand horses could be heard.
The remnants of the third legion hurried forward and were lying on the grass waiting for the forward legion to enter the shooting range. They gave the forward legion a head-on crossbow bolt, causing them to fall off their backs.
After three waves of crossbows rained down, at the rear of the forward legion, the regular legion, which had suffered slight losses, left the slave legion, which was dead and wounded, and turned around and fled.
Mei Daizi helped secretly and controlled the remaining horses of the forward legion, preventing them from escaping too far.
The vanguard legion has three horses per person, and there are more than one legion of horses standing now, which is enough...
On the other side, the main formation of the Vandal Kingdom in front of Yamazaki stopped advancing after joining the returning vanguard.
After calculating the distance, Yamazaki also stopped advancing and divided his troops to block the Vandal Kingdom's third army, two legions coming from the mountains.
There is no road to reach them, but you can meet them and shoot from one mountain to another.
In terms of familiarity with the terrain, Nika the golden eagle can see it clearly from the sky...
At around 12 o'clock at noon, the Sixth and Seventh Army of Gron were flying on the cliff with thousands of arrows, aiming at the Third Army of the Vandal Kingdom that was marching on the mountain.
The sound of the crossbow string echoed in the mountains, and they heard it immediately and responded immediately.
"Enemy attack! Dismount! Put up your shield!"
A large shield is indeed useful, but it cannot protect the whole body, let alone the horses around it.
The horses were injured and fled in all directions, causing many people to fall off their horses and the formation was in chaos.
Second wave, third wave, fourth wave.
Three consecutive rains of crossbow arrows rained down on the position of the Vandal Kingdom's Third Army, causing the opponent to collapse.
Some people ran away, some hid beside the dead horse, and some huddled behind their shields, gritting their teeth and refusing to give up even if the crossbow bolt penetrated the shield.
The Sixth and Seventh Legions of Geron withdrew, leaving not even a small team to guard them. The enemy suffered a lot of damage, the horses were dead and scattered, and most of them were gone. It was no longer a cause for concern...
At the same time, changes occurred in Ores City, and a choice was made.
The civilians who were slaves before took up arms and chose to side with the newly born Kingdom of Gron.
Commoners also joined. In the Kingdom of Gelong, they did not have to pay taxes. Ten gold coins may seem small, but for ordinary civilians, they may not be able to save it in a lifetime.
Due to limited weapons and equipment, strong men were selected under the leadership of former soldiers, and a total of three fully equipped legions and three incompletely equipped legions were formed.
Yamazaki was very happy to see that, at least his policies were still supported...
Around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Yamasaki's main formation met the Vandal First Army he marked on the map. After the opponent deployed, it occupied the entire mountain wilderness.
The leading line was the Ostrogothic heavy infantry, the center line was the heavy cavalry from Carthage, the wings were two slave legions, the rear line was trebuchets, and the ammunition was stone bullets tied with oil-soaked vines or something like that.
Fireball.
They couldn't make a can that could withstand the throwing force. It would break as soon as it was thrown, and the oil might be blown back to the original formation by the wind, so they could only use fireballs.
Watching the formation from a distance were the Vandal king and some high-status people.
Yamazaki found that the formation was very subtle. They were downwind, while his side was against the wind.
The range of the Gronn army's crossbows is reduced, and the range of the opponent's trebuchets is increased.
If the Gelong army attacks, it will inevitably enter the opponent's trebuchet range first...
