From its establishment to today, the Eternal Night Legion has not made any major moves except for setting off a premeditated fire in the Bastille. It spends its days doing nothing but infrastructure construction and training.
It was okay at the beginning, but as time went on, it was impossible for these young people not to complain. Fortunately, the Yongye Legion paid close attention to ideological work from the beginning.
Especially when it was heard that the supreme ruler of the Manyu Army, Grand Duke Borg, was assassinated. Led by slave gladiators, a slave uprising broke out, and the entire Manyu Army fell into great turmoil and chaos.
Not to mention the low-level officers, even the low-level soldiers are gearing up one by one, thinking that the time has come for them to show their talents. They will spread out like a flood along the ancient Jacob River, not to mention a small Bastille.
, the entire Manyu military leader, and even the entire Ashan continent trembled under their iron hooves.
In particular, Sean, the general of the Evernight Army who had not been seen for a long time, convened an enlarged meeting of the officers of the Evernight Army as soon as he showed up. Everyone thought it was a pre-war mobilization meeting.
Unexpectedly, they were greeted with a cold shower of cold water. Not to mention that the lower-ranking soldiers were a little confused, even the lower-ranking officers were full of opinions and complaints. It was generally believed that the higher-ups of the Evernight Legion were too conservative.
Just when everyone thought that the Eternal Night Army would not launch a large-scale war against the Walled City Alliance within three or two years, the order to attack across the entire front arrived.
Executing orders is the first duty of a soldier.
Whether it is resistance or an order that is happy to see results.
Orderly and efficient execution is the only thing they must do well.
Woody led his hundred men to attack his military target.
The hundred-man guard deployed at the junction of the Walled City Alliance will have one or more military targets that need to be targeted.
These military targets are not only imaginary defense targets, but also imaginary attack targets. Peaceful research and military exercises are directed against them.
I dare not say that there is a good chance of winning, but knowing your enemy and yourself is the most basic thing.
What they need to do now is to turn what originally existed only in theory and drills into actual actions.
Therefore, when Woody led his 100-man team, it took less than two hours to dash thirty miles and appeared in front of his military target. The opponent was completely unprepared.
A classic and classic running battle began. The battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and the city with more than 300 residents fell into their control.
Woody's centurions suffered almost zero casualties. The only casualty was not caused by fighting, but was caused by non-combat attrition caused by a hole dug by a jackrabbit during the night march and a broken leg.
.
The reason why the battle went so smoothly was because the Eternal Night Legion had been making corresponding preparations for several years.
It was also because the Walled City Alliance's own will to resist was not strong. Except for the direct-line ruling class installed by the Walled City Alliance who resisted stubbornly, the other mountain people surrendered on the spot when they saw the flag of the Evernight Legion.
Some mountain people even held Woody's hand, cried bitterly, and kept talking about it.
"Why did you come? Why did you come? If you had come earlier, my husband would not have been killed by these beasts."
"It's good to come, it's good to come. We have been looking forward to this day for a long time. These guys are becoming more and more inhumane. They don't regard us as human beings at all, but as animals! No, they are not even as good as animals, at least they plow the land.
When we are here, we still have enough to eat! Kill, kill all these inhumane scourges!"
"Are you still recruiting soldiers? If so, count me in. I am strong and can run fast. I only give you two full meals a day, no, one full meal. As long as you kill these evils, wherever you point, I will
Rush to where."
"Are you still going to fight inside? There are many people in the walled city inside who are also looking forward to your attack. If you continue to fight, I will lead the way for you. I know a mountain path and I can kill them directly and sneak attack them."
After hearing the end, the soldiers of the Eternal Night Legion were filled with excitement and guilt, as if they were really late.
As for those who are stubbornly resisting, they simply cannot withstand the frontal pressure of the Eternal Night Legion, whether it is in terms of equipment or training.
Let’s not talk about training first. From the perspective of equipment alone, the soldiers of the Evernight Legion have an absolute advantage.
Regardless of those heavy armored infantry, whether it is the Walled City Alliance or the Evernight Legion, they are all armed to the teeth. Let's talk about ordinary soldiers, the largest number of Andis longbowmen in the Evernight Legion.
In addition to carrying a long bow and two pots of arrows, each of them also carries a relatively small folding hand crossbow, plus a machete, not to mention military kettles and survival supplies in military backpacks. The Evernight Legion has always paid attention to this aspect.
.
A military backpack contains the food and emergency medicines a well-trained soldier needs for three days. Even if they are separated from logistical supplies, they can survive in the wilderness for half a month with a military backpack, which is enough for them to find large troops.
The armor is Tang's studded armor. Of course, it is not the kind of semi-finished product sold to outsiders. It has been strictly fireproofed and the key parts are actually studded with iron sheets. Although it is leather armor, it has strong protective power.
It has surpassed inferior pierced armor and scale armor.
Of course, there is no way to compare with those carefully crafted infantry armor and full-body armor, not to mention that monsters that can wear starting armor and full-body armor will never wear a single layer of armor, double layers or even three layers. That is normal.
Phenomenon, anyway, they have given up speed, and they don't care if they give up more thoroughly in exchange for absolute defense.
I have to admit that this monster has obvious flaws, but it is invincible in frontal conflicts and difficult attacks.
In the previous 20 minutes of battle, the two groups of infantry armor equipped in Woody's Centurion Guard only lasted three minutes and shattered the opponent's last will to resist.
When faced with more than a dozen moving monsters that could not be killed even if they stood still, they couldn't muster the desire to fight.
Looking at the equipment of the Walled City Alliance, it still remains at the level before the formation of the Evernight Legion. A variety of leather armors are the main force. Not to mention well-made scale armor and plate armor, even pierced armor is rare.
The only progress is to steal the Andis longbow of the Eternal Night Legion and replace the most commonly used Andis hunting bow.
The Andis longbow really has no technical content. As long as you take a look at it from a distance, a hunter with a little bow-making experience can imitate it.
However, compared to the Evernight Legion coming off the assembly line, the dimensions and specifications have already been determined, just like the Andis Longbow made from the same mold.
The Andis longbows of the Walled City Alliance are of various types, varying in length, colorful, and full of personal style. They are obviously handmade products and made by different people, maybe the users themselves.
In Sean's previous life, the industrial assembly line sometimes represented rough workmanship, which was far less famous and expensive than purely handmade products. This is clearly reflected in luxury goods.
An identical high-imitation bag processed by a machine will cost you not more than a few hundred yuan, but a few thousand yuan at most, but a handmade brand-name bag will cost tens of thousands of yuan.
In fact, it only appeared when industrialization reached a certain level, and it is not necessarily that good. Many times what is sold is artificial labor. After all, when the labor force is liberated to a certain extent, the labor force becomes more expensive - except for the truly master-level ones, which are made by others.
It's not called a handicraft, but a work of art.
In the Evernight Legion, what comes out of the assembly line is synonymous with advanced, because things from the assembly line are most suitable for the army - the unified size and specifications make them versatile.
Once damage occurs on the battlefield, a replacement can be found immediately or different parts can be disassembled from multiple waste products to form a finished product.
Although the mountain people in the walled city were enthusiastic, Woody still verbally rejected their move to join the army, and even refused the tempting shortcut for a sneak attack.
Before the action, the Eternal Night Army had formulated a strict battle plan. They now seemed to be fighting alone, but they knew that maybe there was a mountain or a canyon, somewhere beyond the reach of the naked eye, there were others.
The hundred-man guard of the Eternal Night Legion is fighting.
This is a coordinated operation, and their actions will directly affect the left and right friendly forces. Therefore, rather than taking risks and taking risks, it is more important to advance in an orderly manner according to the plan.
As for those mountain people who came forward, the Eternal Night Army was equally grateful.
The Eternal Night Legion itself does not have strong men. Let alone the Eternal Night Legion, even the attached engineer corps has achieved semi-professional status as soldiers. How can they rashly use strong men? Let’s not say whether they can keep up with the Eternal Night Legion.
The marching speed is very fast, and people's hearts are sinister, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false. There is no big mistake in being cautious.
Woody led a hundred-man guard to knock down the walled city, and the attached engineer corps came up behind them.
The two sides completed the handover in a tacit understanding. The Centurion Guards led by Woody replenished the consumed military supplies from the attached engineer corps and moved to the next target without stopping.
The Affiliated Engineer Corps is positioned as a handyman in the Evernight Legion. It is very similar to the concept of strong men, farmers, and auxiliary troops. They can do anything, including paving roads and building bridges, transporting military supplies, assisting in the defense and occupation of towns, etc.
However, the engineer corps attached to the Evernight Legion are more professional and better equipped. Due to different tasks, their main arms are naturally different from those of the main battle corps.
They are good at attacking fortresses and are slow-moving infantry armor. There are very few attached engineer corps. Even if there are, they are injured by the main battle corps and thrown to them to recuperate. Most of them are Andis long archers with light equipment and fast movement.
Mainly, various war ordnance as auxiliary, typically good at defense but not good at attack.
Once they are stationed somewhere, they will build a relatively three-dimensional defense fortification in the shortest possible time. With the support of powerful war ordnance, they will even dare to challenge the main battle army.
In the Eternal Night Legion, the main battle legion and the attached engineer corps complement each other. If the main battle legion is described as the head of a spear, then the attached engineer corps is the shaft of the spear.
If there is no main battle corps, the attached engineer corps will be like a stick, hitting people on the body. Although it will hurt, the lethality will be greatly reduced.
The main battle corps without the attached engineer corps is indeed extremely sharp and indestructible, but without the attached engineer corps to support them, their attack distance will be greatly shortened, and they will no longer use spears, but daggers.
The main battle corps surged forward, while the attached engineer corps calmed the people behind, built fortifications, guarded the back of the main battle corps, and supported them to prevent the enemy's counterattack.
This situation did not just happen to Woody's one hundred-man guard, but also happened to dozens of hundred-man guards at the border with the Walled City Alliance. They would not attack back and forth for more than two hours, just like dozens of sharp blades, ruthlessly
It stabbed hard into the behemoth of the Walled City Alliance.
Not to mention that the Walled City Alliance was not prepared, even if it was prepared, there was nothing that could be done against this multi-line attack from the Eternal Night Legion.
The connection between them is not as close as that between the Eternal Night Legion. It takes a lot of time to ask for help. Every time, before the rescue arrives, the walled city in front has been breached, and the walled city behind has not had time to make a decision.
After reacting, the enemy had already killed him.
The big city lords of the Walled City Alliance are now dead, some are captured, and some are captured. Ban Hebra, the lord of the Three-Dong League who luckily escaped and returned, is too preoccupied with himself to care about the life and death of those allies. Without unified dispatch,
The Walled City Alliance fell into fighting on its own, and was cannibalized one by one by the hundred-man guards of the Eternal Night Legion.
At this time, the flexibility of the Evernight Legion was revealed. The Centurion Guard was only a basic combat unit. Once a large city was discovered and there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, they would send out a signal to summon other surrounding Centuries for coordinated operations.
Break this hard nut, and then determine whether to divide or combine according to the size of the next target, which is full of flexibility.
In just three days, the Yongye Army advanced three hundred kilometers into the hinterland of the Walled City Alliance and directly reached the edge of the Andis Inland Lake, which is already the core area of the Walled City Alliance.
Rather than saying that they came here with a fight, it would be better to say that they drove the rulers of the Walled City Alliance over here like they were herds of sheep.
At first, the ruling class of the Walled City Alliance tried to fight a defensive war, but they soon discovered that the combat capabilities of the two sides were not at the same level at all. It was a one-sided massacre, once or twice. In the end, they all became frightened and fled.
Once the situation of retreat occurs, it will be difficult to stop the car, and in the end, you will be unable to retreat any further.
Sishui City and Andis Inland Lake are their last line of defense.
If Sishui City is lost again, the Walled City Alliance will completely disappear. Although the Andis Mountains still have an eastern range spanning five to six hundred kilometers, the terrain there is more steep, with high in the west and low in the east. It is no longer the Andis Mountains.
The world of Si people.
Part of it is occupied by barbarians from the Kentana Icefield, and part of it is dominated by the Odin Orcs.
In the face of these two fierce and fierce peoples, the Andis people there lived a very miserable life and could only survive in the cracks between the two sides. It is said that during the famine years, they might even become the slaves of the two barbaric races.
food.
Unless absolutely necessary, Andis mountain people are not willing to go there to seek a living.
Just when the Walled City Alliance was uneasy, worried that the Eternal Night Legion had no regard for life and death, and was preparing to complete the battle, the pace of the Eternal Night Legion slowly stopped and shifted to the defensive stage. There are many reasons.
