Empire of Shadows

Chapter 102: Different options

Views:

Seeing the defeated army of 100,000 rushing towards the military station like a tide, Matthew and I looked at each other and immediately started to act separately. Matthew began to quickly prepare for battle, while I called all the staff members and assigned them their respective tasks.

From further strengthening the three lines of defense to setting up roadblocks outside the defense lines, and erecting more arrow towers on the military camp defense lines. Each arrow tower was connected with a springboard to form a whole row of high-altitude archer shooting positions. Bundles of crossbows and special long arrows were all brought out of the military camp and neatly inserted in front of the soldiers' archer positions.

"Matthew, you immediately send cavalry to guide the defeated troops coming towards us, let them pass from both sides of us, and do not allow them to approach within 800 meters of our camp, otherwise they will be killed without mercy..." Looking at the defeated troops becoming more and more chaotic under the attack of the magician, I immediately ordered Matthew to lead the defeated troops. But this time is different from the Wasteland Canyon. At that time, the camp we set up was built to ensure the needs of the retreating troops in the rear, and the camp was built to ensure that tens of thousands of troops could enter. Here, I am just building a defensive position for myself, and the larger the camp, the more man-hours it takes. Without special needs, it is impossible to build a super large camp.

"Come back, let the smarter ones go over, and let them stay alert to prevent the defeated army from robbing the horses or attacking our soldiers. If you encounter such a situation, kill those guys immediately and retreat immediately..." After thinking about it, I called Matthew to give him some instructions. Now, protecting our soldiers and keeping our troops combat-ready is the most important thing. Those remnants whose courage has been half-frightened are just a pile of garbage in my eyes.

"Ofu, take my guards and rescue Commander Pavel from the barracks immediately, or you will die outside... Come on, call the 9th and 10th battalions, and have them prepare their horses and stand by on the right side of the camp. They only need to carry crossbows..."

Suddenly remembering that Pavel was still inside the military station, I immediately sent my guards to rescue him. If a legion commander got into trouble right under my nose, I would not be able to have it easy. At the same time, I also sent 2,000 horse archers to stand by near the military station, ready to assist Auf in bringing Pavel into the military camp.

Of course, I am just waiting. If Auf and his men cannot bring Pavel within 1 km of the camp, I will definitely not let the two battalions of soldiers take unnecessary risks. After all, not only is the situation chaotic now, but the enemy's military is too powerful. If my 2,000-man formation is broken up, I will be ready to collect their bodies!

"Idiot... Damn it, what are they doing? Is now the time to shelter the defeated army? It's over... The Fire Lion Legion is finished..." As I was giving orders quickly, Matthew, who had set up the defense line, wailed on the side.

Following Matthew's words, I immediately turned my attention to the Fire Lions' camp. Originally, the Fire Lions' camp was built on a low hill like ours, but since they were an offensive army, defense was not their strong point.

Under the current circumstances, once they start to take in the defeated troops, they will most likely be dispersed by the defeated troops. If the enemy takes advantage of the situation, the Fire Lion Corps will not only be unable to use their arms advantage, but may even be forced to fight the enemy on foot. If the situation eventually turns out this way, then the Fire Lion Corps' heavy cavalry division and blue cavalry division here today will be completely wiped out...

Looking at the densely packed enemy army and the chaotic Fire Lion Legion, I have lost confidence in this war. Those defeated troops can only be regarded as zero, and if the Fire Lion Legion cannot effectively control their troops in a short period of time, then their defeat will be a matter of time.

As for me, I am just a division, and I have no chance to play a big role in a war involving hundreds of thousands of troops. If I continue to fight, no matter how powerful my longbowmen are, there will be no good results waiting for me.

I had no choice but to turn my attention to the Fire Phoenix Army's camp. Now my only hope is that they don't do anything stupid, otherwise I will be alone!

Through the telescope, the soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Legion were just as fast and efficient as my troops. Simple arrow towers were constantly erected, and soldiers were constantly carrying arrows and other supplies from the barracks to the outside. There were also countless soldiers working hard to reinforce something on their two defensive walls. Rows of soldiers were neatly lined up in the barracks facing the direction where the enemy was moving, and the reserve troops were carefully hiding behind the shields. Everything looked so orderly.

But when I noticed the outside of their military camp, I couldn't help but get furious. After guiding some defeated soldiers, the Fire Phoenix Army actually began to guide some defeated soldiers into their military camp. Damn it, don't they know what kind of troops they are? If the enemy invaded their military camp, the Fire Phoenix Army would definitely be slaughtered.

Their two archer divisions and one light cavalry division all had long-range attack weapons. If they used a large number of bows and arrows, and used the archers' fast movement and long-range attacks to threaten the enemy's magicians, the Fire Phoenix Legion might still have a chance of survival, but now, they were simply seeking death...

Looking at the soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Legion leading the defeated troops into the military camp, my heart grew colder and colder. If all the friendly forces were defeated, then for my division to hold on here would be tantamount to seeking death.

"Matthew, immediately order the army's logistics unit to carry out the beginning part of the rapid camp abandonment plan. I think we may need to run away... Remember, don't let the soldiers know about this plan for the time being." Although the exercise has been conducted many times, no one knows how a group of recruits will react on a real battlefield when they know that they may be defeated. . . . . .
