Chapter 865

In the morning of this day, the morning sun was particularly strong, and the red sun shone on the black river, which seemed to dye the whole river red. However, this kind of strange scenery did not attract the attention of a group of soldiers along the black river. It was a huge army. The regular legions of the Yates Empire were different from those conscripts. The soldiers of these regiments were all in uniform armor, and they felt very sharp just looking at them.

The troops of the Yates Empire did not have time to enjoy the sunrise, mainly because most of them were tired. Yes, after entering the territory of the holy empire of Ilan, they didn't set up camp. They just repaired the site several times. Most of the time they were marching for a day and a night. Of course, the soldiers were very tired.

Generally speaking, this March is relatively dangerous, but this time the situation is not the same. The leading Marshal doesn't have to consider whether it is dangerous or not. What he cares about is to meet the prince quickly. As for rest, he can go to the city to have a rest.

At this time, the troops have reached the laselo bridge, which is the largest bridge on the Heihe River. Of course, people with a little experience in leading troops all know that crossing the river is a very dangerous thing. Even if there is a bridge on it, it is the same. There is no formation in this place. If it is really attacked by the enemy, it will be a big event. Under normal circumstances, the marshal of the Yates Empire would be more cautious, but this time, the marshal just waved his hand to let the soldiers go in batches.

Yes, how could they be alert? Although the soldiers below did not know it, several senior officers knew that they were sending troops to help Thomas Heihe seize the throne. However, this Thomas Heihe was actually their prince Marcus.

Now the whole northern land is basically supported by their prince Marcus, and the former Prince's confidants have informed them that the city of mesadilu is ready. Now he is waiting for you to come and set out. Of course, he is also in a hurry to rush over with his troops. This will not damage the Imperial plan.

The marshal was so relieved that he didn't even send a reconnaissance force to investigate in front of him, because there was no need at all. In front of him was the city of messidilu. Did you say he was attacked? By whom? Their prince? You think of a reason why their prince wants to attack his family's troops.

In short, the Yates Empire quickly began to cross the bridge in batches. After all, the bearing capacity of the bridge was still limited. A large group of people were afraid of collapse. The troops who cross the bridge first will form a team in situ and wait for all the people in the rear to cross the bridge before setting out. These soldiers, who had been marching for a day and a night, of course were very tired. Most of them sat on the ground to rest during the whole procession, and the sergeants did not stop them because they knew there was no danger.

But the danger is coming. A sudden burst of drum sound came from the calm Valley, accompanied by a rainstorm of arrows.

All of a sudden, the soldiers on the side of the Yates Empire did not respond. Of course, all the generals were forced to be ambushed? But who is the problem? It's impossible.

At this time, a large number of soldiers were even sitting on the ground, their armor was not worn, and the weather was very hot. Some of them took off their armor and rested there, but no one stopped them. As a result, a round of arrows rained down, and many soldiers were directly nailed to the ground.

"The enemy Enemy attack

"What? Enemy attack? "

"How could that be possible? What's the situation? " Although the imperial soldiers are suddenly attacked, they will not feel too much chaos now Why were they ambushed?

The troops in front of this side are still under attack, and there is a sudden fire in the rear. I don't know why. Yes, the lassello bridge in the middle of the army suddenly caught fire, which was arranged by Linton. They arrived here last night. They had a night's preparation time. Of course, they were fully prepared.

The lassello bridge is a bridge made of half wood and half stone. It is made of strong wood, but after all, there is a wooden structure in the middle. So Linton, they also sprinkled oil on the pier, and then ignited it with magic props. However, if the other party smells the oil, they are not prepared at all.

At this time, most of the troops of the Yates Empire had crossed the river, and a small part of them were in the rear, including most of their logistics troops. The bridge on this side caught fire, and the troops were directly divided into two parts. The rear army and the former army were completely separated, and all of a sudden, they became more chaotic.

At last, the marshal on the opposite side regained his mind. He still didn't know what troops were attacking them. Although there were some nobles in the North who had not been summoned by their prince, those nobles took hundreds of troops. Do you think they could attack the army of 100000 people?

I don't know who the enemy is, but the marshal should deal with it first. At this time, there are still many people in the chaotic army who want to retreat. How can they retreat? The bridges behind are on fire. Aren't you jumping into the river by yourself when you run back? So the marshal also called out directly: "the troops that have crossed the river go forward and rush out of the valley area."The troops who don't cross the bridge in the back can't control it for the time being. Let them cross the river by themselves. What they can control now is the front team. Hearing the Marshal's order, the generals around him immediately turned to their senses and began to give orders to the soldiers around them.

At this time, a lot of soldiers had fallen on the ground. They were all killed by bows and arrows. The enemy was hiding high above the ground. It was hard to see how many people there were. To be honest, the troops of the Yates Empire were worthy of being regular troops. Under the control of the sergeants, they immediately controlled some of the chaos. Some soldiers began to raise their shields to resist the bows and arrows around them to cover the advance of the troops. However, soon, a large number of shouts of killing appeared on both sides of the valley in front of them, and then two troops, one left and one right, attacked the troops of the Yates empire Come on.

In the rear is the river. Obviously, there is no place to run. The only way out is forward. The army was obviously trying to stop them, and so did the marshal of the Yates empire. Seeing the number of enemy troops, the marshal felt a headache. Where on earth did he get so many troops? However, this is not the time to say this. The troops on both sides are really fighting. The troops in front of them are beginning to fight each other, and the bows and arrows troops ambushing on the opposite side also begin to aim at the troops behind them.

Although there were many troops in the Yates Empire, it was said that there was no formation at all in this place. All the people were squeezed into a line. Only the people in front could fight with the enemy, and the people behind could not go up at all and could only get bows and arrows. At present, there are at least 600000 troops crossing the river. However, the advantage of the number of troops can not be reflected at all. On the contrary, they are still being beaten by the other side.

"Line up! Line up! counterattack! Fight back The taxi officers of the Yates Empire almost broke their throats, but the effect was still there. The chaotic soldiers gradually found their place in these sergeants' shouts. The surprise attack was very effective, but the initial panic was slowly passing. After a group of people died, the troops of the Yates Empire gradually began to stabilize.

The main reason why they were able to stabilize themselves was that they were excellent enough, because they were regular legions, professional soldiers, well-trained, and they had fought all kinds of hard battles. In fact, the target of the Yates empire is the first army of the holy empire of Ilan. In order to deal with them, it is necessary to attack the imperial capital in order to help the prince Marcus ascend the throne, and the first army is to guard the vicinity of the imperial capital.

In contrast, the troops of Linton's side are all conscripts, some of them are peasant soldiers and uprising soldiers. Yes, the conscripts have a little combat effectiveness. After all, when they don't fight, they also need to take time to practice military array and so on. They have been on the battlefield, and the uprising soldiers are really farmers, not even soldiers. Although it has created a perfect opportunity for them, how to say the combat effectiveness

The besieged troops were unable to compress the battle line in front of them. Although they were still facing each other, they could not push them back. In other archery units, some soldiers can't even shoot the enemy in this situation, and there are even farmers who can't pull their bows. It's a waste of arrows to let them attack.

Speaking of arrows, it's also a problem. They don't have so many arrows. After all, the number of enemies is too large. It's impossible to shoot all these people directly. Moreover, because they are regular troops, the enemy's equipment is extremely excellent, the armor is well worn, and the effective protection is also very high.

After looking at this situation, Linton probably knows the result. Of course, there are many other better ways for Linton to fight, but There's no need. I'm not a real Thomas Heihe. I can't get into the play too much.

In the whole battle, Linton had no command at all, and let them play well. What was Linton doing? He was directing a group of people to pile stones and draw pictures on the ground with black paint.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be in our favor." At this time, an aristocrat looked at the war situation below, saw so many people falling on the opposite side, and said happily.

Linton is a little speechless, which is called advantage? It is estimated that the opposite side will begin to fight back soon. After all, they have begun to stand firm. Of course, he didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Although he didn't get the answer from Linton, the nobleman continued to talk to him, hoping to be familiar with Linton, the emperor.

"Reinforcements." Linton said faintly, "it's a piece of evidence."
