Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 115: 113, Legion Commander Missing
George ordered the Chinese army to move back, and the magicians formed a second line of defense in retreat, not far in front of the chariot. The main force of the Legion of Nanar finally came from the rear, and after a night of marching, they saw the light rides dispersed and the enemies were in front, the pursuit had been red-eyed, and the two sides had waged a desert chase war.
No matter how bizarre Amon's battle plan may be, it needs to be backed up by a soldier's combat power. If the enemy can't fight hard, the command is no use at all. Olebane was surprised to find that the Ann-La regiment he was chasing was not as defensive as legendary, that they were moving in and out of order, that the soldiers were not timid, and that the battle had not broken down even though they had fled at full speed.
The Ann-La Regiment entered the army very slowly, but fled very quickly. Several battles broke away in the desert, with hundreds of casualties and many horses dying of exhaustion, but eventually the large troops withdrew to the beach camp.
Though I've heard about the situation at Camp Ammon, Olebane was surprised to see it with his own eyes. He said to himself, "Ammon, what is this? Do you want to live here?" With the exception of the chariots that accompanied the attack, the remainder of the Ann-La Regiment's chariots were lined up outside the camp and formed a semi-circular defensive wall on top of the sand barrier.
The loose sand is easy to drift off and would not have been suitable for wall construction, but the Ann La Regiment used all the empty sacks of food to load the wet sand, layered down the barrier and relied on the chariot as a sturdy and simple city wall. There were five gaps in the walls, and the forces withdrawn by the Ann-La Regiment were divided into five shares, like quicksand pouring back into the camp, after which silence was silent.
Looking up outside the battalion, many Hattie soldiers couldn't help breathing cold air, and there were five tall fortresses in the barracks. It turns out that they dragged a heavy boat into shore along a shallow beach and placed it on a sand dune. The hull was also protected against fire by sandbag barriers, and the upper and lower three levels of the boat strings became high and low arrow towers. If you attack through the gaps in the walls, the five tall battle fortresses face you.
In the desert there is no danger, there is little advantageous terrain available, and the party who owns the work naturally takes great advantage of the defense, the disadvantage is that such work cannot move but adhere to it. Amon's orders were to hold the entire army to the barracks.
Olebane has led the Nanar Legion in its pursuit, and it is impossible to retreat without engaging and order the battalion to attack. Soldiers poured into the defensive wall like the tide, surprisingly they did not encounter any resistance, as if it were an empty battalion, and the forward forces rushed in smoothly through five gaps.
At this point, when the voice of the command was heard, countless heads of men suddenly appeared on the five battleforts, arrows shot like rain, but only at the perimeter of the city wall, focusing on the gap, just at the edge of the range below, temporarily blocking the influx of more enemies. Hattie's commander was also aware that the battalion could only be successfully captured by taking down the five battlestones and staged an assault at a time when the Angelan Army's knife shields were coming out of the rear of the battlestone.
The first round of assault was fought in a narrow battlefield within the defensive wall, and the army soldiers who had left behind the battalion had long awaited the battle with vigour. Most of the troops in front of the Nanar army stormed into the wall were killed and a small part returned.
After a tentative battle, the Nanar Regiment launched a full-scale offensive with chariots and heavy riding. The walls of the Nanar Regiment's battalion were destroyed many times. The war revolved around an offensive pull saw of five battlestones. The casualties on both sides were heavy day and night, but the Nanar Regiment was no longer able to launch an offensive and eventually did not take down the battalion.
The defeat of the Legion of Nanar, whose total number of casualties in this series of battles totaled nearly a thousand, was also a major defeat. The reason for failure is simple: first, to judge enemy error, secondly, to combat disadvantage, and most importantly, to light enemies.
The main force of the Legion of Nanar, approaching 3,000 men, was not intended to attack the battalion at first, but was chased here in a circle by the forward forces sent by Ammon. Olebane could not have rallied the entire regiment into the battle, but the Ammon regiment was a fortified battalion of 5,000 men, almost double its strength.
The defense of the Angolan Legion, with its walls and fortifications, would prevail, and the casualties of one of the forcibly attacked parties would be large enough to bridge the battle power gap between the two sides. And the fighting power of the Ann-La Corps was not at all as touchy as people had thought, and there were no defensive commands that went wrong.
Ole Bain, with outrage, was unable to attack the casualties for a long time. He was also well aware that it was no longer possible to take down the other party's battalion and had to retreat immediately in order to prevent the other party from hiding behind him.
All three battles of the Ann-La Legion were won, especially the battle of the Battalion, which, despite its hardship, was the most important victory, causing great damage to the energy of the enemy. Strategically, however, they also missed two excellent opportunities, the first of which was when Ammon-led lead troops broke through the line of defense and diverted the main forces of the Nanar Legion from the battalion, when the more than 3,000 sergeants left behind by the Ammon Legion could have attacked each other's battalion under false pretenses.
The second time was when Olebane withdrew, the main force of the Ammon regiment could have stabbed him from behind, giving him no respite, and gaining a fundamental victory in the war. However, the Ammon Corps did not do so, and the battle plan between Ammon and George was to stand firm once the advance troops had withdrawn from the battalion.
The reason is also simple: there is still a lack of confidence in the fighting power of the Angelan Legion, and they do not believe that these soldiers can achieve an overwhelming victory on the front field, after all, they are a miscellaneous army that has been rigorously practiced for only a few months. This is similar to playing chess. Even if your mind is smarter, look at the color of the pieces in your hand. If Amon were to command the Horus Legion, I'm afraid he would never let go of those two opportunities.
Interestingly enough, when the Nanar Legion attacked the battalion, Commander Amon and SS Captain Medanzo were not in the army, the regiment's supreme commander was George, and the battlefield commander was John. After the withdrawal of the Legion of Nanar, the casualties of the Legion of Ann La were also significant, requiring a good rest and reinforcing of the line of defense, and George did not order a pursuit.
Whatever the army, it needs a real battlefield to grind it out. The Ann La Corps is now completely different from what it was when it first left Dreamfield, and the changes that have taken place can be described in terms of skimming for bones. This kind of victory in action has elevated the qualitative effect of the previous training, and now if you pull out and absolutely dare to fight the war, the soldiers are almost like someone else.
……
The great magician Cézanne, who had rushed from the main battlefield to deliver the order, finally woke up from the coma. As soon as his eyes opened, he heard the sound of slaughter not far away. Asking the servant standing beside the bed in panic, he learned that it was the Legion of Nanar that was attacking the battalion. The magician startled and instinctively closed his eyes and prayed to the gods.
Like the commanders of other regiments, Cézanne had no interest in the fighting power of the An-La Legion. This time ordering the An-La Legion to enter the rescue, there was simply no way, nothing more than to attract the forces of the other party to seek a respite for the main battlefield, saying that they were a dead abandoned son.
He finally sent the order. Before the army of Ann La had been opened, the other side had already sieged. Eighty-nine of the ten can't hold it. I'm afraid his seriously injured great sorcerer will also die here! But Cézanne waited half a day, and there was no movement of fighting around the camp. Instead, the screaming in the distance gradually dropped and finally returned to calm. Once more, the Ann La Regiment has repelled the attack!
Shortly after, Lord George walked in and sat down beside the bed to comfort him: “Lord Cézanne, I heard you came as soon as you woke up. Thank goodness you were not slightly injured, but it was mainly excessive force consumption, as long as you rested well for a while, it was just a temporary inability to use it. This may not be a good thing, but it may also be an opportunity for you to break through Level 8. ”
Cézanne didn't have any thoughts about the practice of divinity at this time. She sat up struggling under the help of her servant and asked: “I heard the shouting of killing. Has the Khati army attacked? How is the war going? ”
George smiled slightly: "We saw the order you brought. Yesterday, we sent the first troops to rescue Pharaoh. As a result, halfway through the Nanar Regiment, we had to retreat from the battalion for a bitter battle, and have defeated the enemy. You can rest assured that you are absolutely safe in the Angela Regiment. ”
Cézanne was somewhat anxious to say: "I am not concerned about my safety, otherwise I would not risk my life to come here. The Legion of Ann La is here to fight the Legion of Nanar. What about His Majesty the Pharaoh? Where is Lord Amon? Where is he? I want to see the Legion Leader and announce His Majesty's orders in person! ”
"Lord Amon has seen His Majesty's orders," replied George. "When we fought with the other army here, Lord Commander of the Corps had personally gone to save Pharaoh. ”
Cézanne was surprised again: "How many more armies and weight did Lord Amon bring himself to save Pharaoh? ”
George spoke softly: “It doesn't matter how many people we can take away. It's important to be able to reverse the dynamics of this war, otherwise no matter how many victories we win here, it doesn't make much sense. ”
……
How many men did Amon leave the legion with? George didn't dare tell Cézanne the truth, otherwise the severely injured magician had to fall out of bed. Amon brought only one light rod SS captain, Medanzo, and the rest, not to mention soldiers, did not even have a horse.
Ammon had loaded a lot of supplies in his space apparatus, barely enough for an army to eat and drink, but he did not cross the desert to find Pharaoh's army, but took Medanzo into the rear of the enemy line.
