The Amber Sword - 1047. Chapter 1047

In Fatan Harbor, at this moment, there is a mess under the main city wall. Many walls have been destroyed by magic, and rubble is scattered all over the place. In the smoke and dust, imperial soldiers wearing red and white shirts are stepping on the collapsed wall. Swarmed in. On the well-preserved city head, the army wearing the same battle robes is gradually gaining an advantage. Densely dense siege ladders are hung on the battlements. The head gathered into a torrent. In contrast, the cyan, which represents the defenders of Fattan Harbor, is retreating steadily. In fact, in most areas, the battle has come to an end and turned to street fighting.

The change in the situation seemed to have happened just moments ago. Sidney summoned the angry angel Akroma to come and wipe out all the undead in the valley in one fell swoop. After that, the Hong Kong Guards launched a counterattack and reoccupied the Sea Cliff Fortress. But the good times did not last long. The White Legion then arrived on the battlefield to launch a strong offensive. The magician group led by the great wizard Tony from Shannian in the Empire almost flattened the Sea Cliff Fortress at all costs, and left a number of them there. The bottomless pit is a hundred meters square. The Hong Kong Guard suffered heavy losses in this attack, and due to Brando’s prior orders, Charles did not let Tonigel’s magician group launch a counterattack—in fact, the counterattack was useless, and the strength gap between the two sides was obvious.

The White Legion immediately launched an offensive against Fatan Port. Although the Hong Kong Guards, whose morale was so high because of their previous victories, also made a desperate resistance, the disparity in power still determined the result from the very beginning. The magician of the empire The regiment quickly collapsed the main city wall of Fattan Harbor, and the previous scene appeared.

Under the cover of everyone, Delphine moved her position to the small monastery. Listening to the sound of the swaying frontline, she soon discovered that the Hong Kong Guards still could not stand firm.

The empire has thrown guard infantry on the frontal battlefield. These phalanx infantry marched in formation along each street. Looking ahead, there are a series of moving walls made up of floating square shields. You can see those faintly behind the square shields. A heavily armored infantry covered in armor and barely exposed a pair of eyes under the metal visor. They were holding spears several meters in length and protruding the spears from the gap between the shields, as if a forest of spears had risen, and the dense spear tips flickered with cold light.

The archers of the Hong Kong Guards are almost helpless when facing these metal fortresses. Only occasionally marksmen in the army can get the result-shooting arrows into the gaps in the shields or in the eyes. However, the infantry in front fell on their backs, and the heavy armored infantry at the back would immediately fill up and fill the gap in the upper array. The casualties of a few people looked like throwing rocks into the sea, without making waves.

Although the advance of the guard infantry was not quick and slow, it was desperate. Forced by it, the Hong Kong guard in the western area of Fattan Port launched a short-armed counter-charge. However, the results of the battle were very unfavorable. The entire battle was devastated, and the entire squadron was almost non-existent in the battle of only a quarter of an hour, and there were few wounded, most of them turned into cold corpses lying on the sides of the street.

Everyone understood that the reason why the guard infantry of the White Legion was called the “Dragon Lance Phalanx” in the second holy war was not because it had gained a reputation.

On the roof, there are also the White Legion Firehawk Archers wearing red bottoms and white capes. These Ranger troops actually come from the Red Legion, but in the Year of the Hare, the Silver Queen intends to be in the other legions. Similar units are also cultivated, so one group of flame eagle shooters has been transferred from the Red Legion to enrich the other three legions. But later this plan did not progress satisfactorily, because most of the flame eagle archers were actually rangers from the mountainous areas of Cloud Hill, Anzrowa, Anzeruta and Anzelin; the other three The army’s main source of troops is Metz, Mehthofen, Ludwig, and farmers or mountain people in the countryside of Banker, Cape Bay. The talent and understanding of archery between the two are too far apart. Although in the end many outstanding archers have been cultivated, they are still far from the original expectations.

However, after the plan was shelved, the Silver Queen did not return the fired eagle shooter brigade to the Red Legion, but instead allowed them to stay in the three major legions and exist in a special organization. These fire eagle shooters have their own experiences. Among them, the fire eagle shooter teaching team of the White Legion even had a record in the battle with the silver flag knights of the Farnzan in the Arka area in the year of the pillar. There is a falcon tail feather on the left chest of the cloak as a mark to distinguish it from other flame eagle shooters. In the White Legion, these flame eagle shooters are usually called “falcon men”.

These Falcon men leaned carefully on the roof, and marched in groups of two or three in a skirmish line. They were small in number, but they posed a great threat to the Hong Kong Guards. Often in street battles, the captain, knight commander or great knight of the Hong Kong Guards will be attacked by unpredictable cold arrows. The accuracy of these cold arrows is so high that once the Hong Kong Guards lower-level command system is almost on the verge of collapse.

As for the soldiers of the Hong Kong Guards and the White Lion Guards who stayed in the temporary fortifications, the Falcons used rockets and refraction shots to eliminate them one by one. This is their specialty. The rocket of the Yanying Archer can cause an explosion effect similar to that of fireball, and the refraction shot can be used to attack those enemies hiding in the building. In front of them, there is almost no strong fortress.

If the Guardian Infantry is like an unpretentious, no-edged epee that can easily break through the opponent’s defense from the front, then the Yanying Archer is like a dexterous boning knife. The two sharp blades cooperated with each other, and they were not disadvantaged in the street fighting.

The Hong Kong Guards soon lost the first and second barricades. The Eruin’s White Lion Guards also encountered trouble in the first battle, although they succeeded in getting the White Legion in the direction of the Temple of Fusha. His advancement stopped, but he also suffered the heaviest casualties since the war began. On Delphine’s map, Fattan Port almost instantly went to one of the three. Important street corners were planted with red and white flags representing the empire. The empire’s aggressive fighting power allowed Everyone present fell into silence.

Even including those imperial nobles–

Although every empire may have heard about the pride of the empire from birth-inherited from the four legendary legions of the Burnett Legion, the Anderson Legion, the Odyssey Legion, and the Donald Legion during the War of the Saints. According to legend, it was these four legions that gradually evolved into the current four major legions of blue, white, red and black. But without actually standing on the opposite side of them and becoming their opponents, people will not understand how powerful they are.

The brilliance of the empire, the majesty of the empire, and the power of the empire are by no means empty words.

“What to do?” Baron Ludwig’s wrinkled face was very pale: “Shall we retreat to the Fattan Fortress?”

“No,” Count Alcons shook his head: “If you retreat now, morale will collapse, and it won’t be time yet.”

“If you don’t retreat, we won’t be able to hold on until the old wolf’s men push forward again!”

Count Alcons smiled bitterly: “I didn’t expect that old guy really has two brushes.”

The others all looked at the prime minister’s daughter who was in the wheelchair, and seemed to want to see if she had any solution, but Delphine’s complexion was also solemn, she just nodded and agreed with the former.

This offensive is really suffocating, the previous judgment is still too optimistic, the other party has not invested in the Griffin Rider and the Silver Pegasus Knight, otherwise it will not support after noon at all. In fact, even now, the entire harbor defense line can collapse at any time. The Hong Kong Guard is like a string stretched to the maximum, and no one knows when it will suddenly break.

You must know that the White Legion is still one of the four major legions of the Empire that is better at defensive and field battles. The guard infantry they are proud of is actually a powerful defensive infantry. In battle.

“Did the Empire stop in the direction of the attack on the Temple of Fusha?” she asked suddenly.

“Yes,” the nobleman who brought the message immediately replied, but Delphine called the White Legion an “empire” which made him feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, most people still looked at the war. Cheng is a civil war. After sorting out his emotions, he replied in a somewhat unbelievable tone: “It’s true, Miss Delphine, I really don’t know how the Eruins did it. They seem to have repelled the Legion’s attack from the front. ”

…

The White Legion was also puzzled by the combat power of the enemy in front of them. The Eruin’s position always heard the sound of the mountains whirring and tsunami, it was like crazy. On this side of the street, the large and small knight captains inside the White Legion looked at each other. Before that, they had organized three attacks, but each time they were repulsed mercilessly. On the opposite side, the Eruins and their casualties. The ratio almost reached three to one, but the opponent was still succeeding, and he didn’t know what death and fear were.

The street was in a mess, and the two sides were fighting hard to recover the corpse. The blood stained the street. Every stone on the street seemed to be immersed in blood, reflecting a strange brilliance, so that the soldiers below had already turned the front. The street is vividly called the “Blood Street”. However, the Eruin people still guarded a few important street junctions, and refused to take a step back, as if the legion could not advance half a minute without killing them all.

The lower-ranking non-commissioned officers of the White Legion have experienced countless battles, but they have never fought such a fierce battle, so that the heavy infantry on the front line has been reduced by almost 10%. In fact, up to now, at least three teams have been completely disabled and retreated from the front line.

The “Falcons” on the roof also met opponents, and their situation was even worse. The opponents they encountered were much stronger than the Eruin infantry—that’s a come and go. The wind-like ranger troops are mostly composed of elven soldiers with pointed ears. The opponent is not only amazing in shooting skills, but also has the ability to hide whereabouts. When the Falcons first spotted them, they were approached by the opponent to a distance of nearly thirty feet without noticing them. As a result, they were fired intensively from a distance of almost only a roof, and almost the entire army was destroyed. .

The soldiers of the White Legion who reacted behind wanted to pursue them, but the elven archers had already unfolded their cloaks, and several leaps far and wide to other roofs. Then he turned his head and sniped them for a while. In the end, the heavy infantry in front suffered heavy losses, and several knight captains died.

Almost half of the credit for the downsizing of the front-line troops of the White Legion was attributed to these elven archers. Later, the commander of the White Legion forced the nearby “Falcon Man” squadrons to mobilize all the squadrons in this direction. A little pressure.

But it only relieved the pressure. Although the number of Falconers gathered far exceeded that of the Elf Archer squad, they were actually crushed and beaten on one side. After being attacked countless times, these shooters from the Scarlet Legion finally discovered that the opponent turned out to be invisible.

The’Falcon Man’ on the roof was suppressed so much that he did not dare to show his head. In this battle, he has actually fallen into a stalemate. No matter how fearless the White Legion is, it is impossible to push forward without any cover. Not to mention that the Eruin on the opposite side will fight to the end, even if they are desperate. , It may not be able to make a breakthrough in a moment. What’s more, among the heavy infantry in the front line, there are not so many middle and lower-level knight commanders who can sniper the opponent’s elf shooter.

“The opposite should be the White Lion Legion of the Eruin,” after a short silence, a knight finally couldn’t help but said: “Their fighting will is a bit beyond my expectations. I am very curious about Anze now. How did Ruta’s second-line legions gain an advantage in the battle with these guys on the high ground.”

“No, that’s not a pure white lion army. They have white lion shawls on their shoulders. They are obviously different from other white lions. Perhaps it is a special weave similar to our Falcon Man. Have you noticed, they His outfit looks a lot like the white lion infantry recorded in history.”

“But in any case, the really powerful ones are the elf shooters,” another knight frowned. “Where did they come from? We have never heard of Warend having such a ranger unit. Their abilities are too special. It’s impossible to be unknown. It can be seen that street fighting is not their main battlefield. This ranger army is the true king of jungle warfare.”

“Is it a wind spirit?”

“No, that’s the tree elves, but the tree elves’ Lin Ying shooter is not like that. Their performance in street fighting is far worse than this ranger unit.”

“Well, no matter who they are, at least I can be sure that this ranger unit will be famous all over the world after today.”

The first knight looked at his helpless companions, frowned and waved his hands: “You have digressed. Now we are going to discuss, what shall we do next? The above requires us to cooperate with the offensive from the south and take it within an hour. Go down to the Temple of Fusha. But right now these Eruins seem to be crazy. Others won’t listen to us to explain. They will only mock us and even a bunch of hillbillies can’t solve it.”

“This problem is not easy to solve. If these guys are only hillbillies, then I can’t help but doubt our combat effectiveness.”

“You should really review your performance.” At this moment, a majestic voice came in. All the knights on the scene couldn’t help their faces when they heard this voice, and turned to respectfully salute the person who interjected: “My lord. !”

The person who walked into this circle was the commander of this force, Sir Leuhi. He took a serious look at his subordinates and replied: “No need to discuss, the above orders have already been issued.”

“What, are you willing to give us air support, sir?”

“No,” Sir Leuchy replied succinctly: “This is the order of the Duke of Ambnar. He ordered us to stop the attack immediately and return to the Golden Needle Valley to stand by.”

“What!? Why, taking Fattan Port is right now?”

“There is no reason, the offensive has been blocked, have you seen the Buga fleet? This is an order, execute it immediately.”

“Yes—” The knights were silent for a while, but they still nodded.
