Chapter 248： Battle of Pittburgh VII

The army on the right is defeated!

The generals of the Kentish army saw an unacceptable sight. They thought the archers would be able to match the opposing Firebolts...or at least last longer.

The previous musket volley attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and then the right wing of the Kent army was killed by a bayonet assault from the Ardas under the gaze of both sides.

This result has a more direct impact on the officers and soldiers at the bottom. It is obvious that the morale of the Kent army has dropped instantly, while the morale of the coalition army has soared.

The thunderous fighting sounded again, and as morale ebbed and flowed, the coalition forces forced the enemy back steadily.

Arda's army also reloaded, turned around, and began to shoot from the right of Kent's army.

The morale of the Kent army, which was suddenly hit by side fire, fell to a trough, and soldiers who turned around and fled without authorization abound.

Jayce whipped an officer who was obviously in a state of panic, and shouted angrily: "Go! Lead the reserve team to block the enemy on the right!"

He already had a plan to retreat, but the collapse of the right wing put him in a semi-encircled situation, and a rash order to retreat would most likely turn into a retreat.

The reserve team rushed up, but what made Jiaaisi vomit blood was that a volley of Firebolts from the Ardas scattered them.

Originally, according to Jiaaisi's arrangement, the reserve team was selected as a second-line force, with low-level equipment and quality. He was also in a daze when he expected such a force to stop the Arda people.

Moreover, the artillery of the Arda army has never been idle. The artillery company first concentrated its firepower to destroy several ballistas of the Kent army, and then began to bombard their reserve troops.

In order to reduce casualties, and even more so to prevent the group of guys who were repeatedly exclaiming "magic is in trouble" after several shots to disperse, Jayce had to let the reserve troops lie down in the grass.

Even so, by the time the reserve team was called up to fill the right flank, the number had already been reduced by nearly half of what it was at the beginning of the battle.

Failure was inevitable, and Jaais ordered a retreat.

As expected, except for the knights and a few elite soldiers who could maintain the basic order, most of the soldiers ran around like headless flies.

Earl Parker waved the command flag without losing the opportunity, and the phalanx that had stayed behind as a reserve team immediately stepped forward to join the pursuit.

Jayce fled eastward in a panic under the guard of the family knights, and the other lords who were attached to the Kent family also went their separate ways.

The coalition forces chased after the rout for several miles before withdrawing. When they returned to the station, it was already evening.

…

"Hahaha!"

"Drink, drink!"

After nightfall, the entire resident was full of laughter. Piles of bonfires were lit, and the officers and soldiers of various ministries ate and drank happily around the bonfires.

Although the ultimate goal of this battle - Biduo Fort has not yet been captured, Dao said that today's victory is of great significance, and it is really unreasonable not to celebrate. To celebrate this great victory, the lords and generals agreed to reward the army.

When the Kent army retreated, it was obvious that they had no time to clean up their garrison, and the materials inside were all cheaper for the coalition forces.

When cleaning the Kent army garrison, in order to allow their own side to seize more spoils, some unpleasant things happened between the armies of the various territories. After the old Earl Price Parker, who personally led the cavalry to chase the enemy, returned, he suggested that the seized land should be grouped together, and after Bidowburg was occupied, everyone would discuss a fair distribution plan that could be taken care of by all parties. .

Due to Earl Parker's prestige, everyone agreed to his proposal.

After cleaning the battlefield, the army camps began to slaughter pigs and sheep. On weekdays, the low-level soldiers ate simple food such as black bread, but tonight they were finally able to feast on meat.

Because they got a lot, and in order to gain a good reputation and maintain morale, the lords were happy to show their generosity all night. Anyway, the newly captured pigs and sheep are still considered "public goods".

In the room where the lords and generals gathered, the atmosphere was even more joyful. Everyone was talking about today's battle enthusiastically while pushing glasses and changing glasses.

Lieutenant Colonel Bryce Alder, the commander of the Arda army, became a small focus at the banquet. After all, the Arda army contributed a lot in today's battle.

Everyone watched helplessly as Arda's army marched steadily in a thin three-row formation, risking the loss of arrows. After approaching, they defeated the right-wing archers of the Kent army within a few minutes, and then killed the opponent's reserve team. counterattacked, and the collapse of the right flank eventually spread to the entire Kentish army.

"Bryce, let's have a drink!"

Derrick of the Heller family raised his cup and bumped it heavily with the cup in Bryce's hand.

"Dry!"

Bryce was also not humble, and Derrick and Derrick drank the wine in their respective glasses.

Today, the army of the Heller family has gained a lot of glory from the Arda army. The Portree infantry and the Arda infantry jointly formed the left wing of the coalition army, but they lined up behind the Arda infantry. When Arda's army attacked the Portree infantry followed them, and when the battle entered the hand-to-hand phase, even they could easily deal with the Kent soldiers who were scared by the firearms.

This battle wiped away the humiliation of defeat caused by Derrick's aggressive advance in one fell swoop, so Derrick is still very grateful to the people of Arda.

Including Earl Parker, some well-known people in the coalition army came to drink with Bryce. Although many of them still had the arrogant attitude of nobles when they faced civilians, compared to when they met at the beginning, their tone was different. It has softened a lot.

There is no doubt that today's battle has proved to the northwestern territories that Huxin Town has a powerful armed force.

Not only are the weapons powerful, but the quality of the officers and soldiers is extremely high. Some generals who participated in King Qin's counter-insurgency last year secretly compared them with the elite troops directly under the royal family, and were surprised to find that the standard of this army was already above it.

However, there is still an important shortcoming-fewer people, and a troop of 1,000 people is too small to occupy a slightly larger town.

But who knows how many such troops Huxin Town still has?

Their future dealings with the "exile family" who ruled the remotest territory in the Northwest would have to be carefully weighed.

Although Bryce was quite conceited about his drinking capacity, he was drinking a little too much at this time. Logically speaking, as a commander, he shouldn't drink so much, but since the lords from all over the country were the ones persuading them to drink, this was a bit troublesome, and they couldn't freeze their relationship with the Greyman family.

In response to this situation, Bryce was the only one of the two battalion commanders who came to the banquet. Joyce excused his injury and did not come. He was shot in the arm during the daytime battle, but fortunately it was not serious.

In case of any emergency, Joyce would replace Bryce in command of the troops.
