When the Barcelona army advanced about a thousand kilometers forward, it encountered tenacious resistance from the Zenit people.
Surrounded by the guards, Pedro stood on a high hill, watching the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance, his brows were tightly knit together—in fact, he had never Didn't feel right.
In the Battle of the Byzantine Harbor, although part of the naval power of the Zenit people was defeated, their own losses were several times that of the Zenit people. What made them vomit blood was that they managed to kill the land with red eyes. The Barcelona people who wanted to massacre and rob the city were extremely disappointed to find that the city of the King of Byzantium had long since become an empty city. .
The Byzantines have cleared the walls here.
For a while, they couldn't even find the door panel to lift the wounded.
As for the captured Byzantine King Constantine, although he was tortured for a day and a night, all kinds of horrific tortures were used, but he was like a man beaten by iron, and he did not reveal any information from beginning to end.
To be honest, in the end, even the jailor who tortured was about to collapse.
They have never seen a person who can be so tough, beaten to pieces again and again, and then healed by a magician, and then beaten to pieces, and then healed... Such a cycle, even the gods can't bear it, I really doubt this Is the little king a body of flesh and blood, and what kind of strength and beliefs support him
So much so that now, even Pedro has a modicum of admiration for the little king.
The interrogation and torture had to come to an end.
After a brief stay in the King's City of Byzantium, the Barcelona army, full of murderous aura, imagined itself as a tiger wading into a flock of sheep, quickly organized an offensive, and drove straight along the official road, towards the inland area of the southern border of the Zenit people. Invasion down.
They thought they could drive all the way in and defeat any Zenit who dared to resist.
However, they thought they were the number one superpower on the mainland, but they suffered a big loss because of insufficient preparation before the war.
The first land contact with the Zenit army took place about 200 kilometers away from the Byzantine royal city.
The Barcelona striker team of about 2,000 people was ambushed by the same number of Zenit southern border troops. The [Cyclops] and [Black Pearl] that had disappeared before also appeared lingeringly. Hours, when Barcelona's follow-up support troops arrive, they can only catch up with their own corpses.
The hateful Zenit people not only took away the corpses of their own people, but also stripped off all the armor and weapons on the dead Barcelona soldiers, leaving only two thousand naked corpses.
In the course of the ensuing advance, the Barcelona army encountered unexpectedly tenacious resistance.
Although the losses are still within the tolerable range, being attacked and harassed again and again is simply annoying. When advancing to more than 500 kilometers, Pedro had to order the whole army to rectify, take a temporary rest, and postpone previously formulated battle plan.
Most of the troops who landed in Barcelona were naval soldiers from [Spear of the Sea God]. They were not good at land warfare. There were about 60,000 people, and their equipment was well equipped. Arriving at the Byzantine royal city, due to Pedro's underestimation of the enemy, there was a problem with the connection of the Barcelona army. The forward army went deep alone and fell into a difficult situation.
At this time, the Barcelona people in the rear are still dreaming of the dream of winning the Zenit Empire within ten days, but the vanguard army in front has already begun to feel the coldness of the northern region and the strength of the Zenit people.
Along the way, the [Sea God's Spear] legion has been attacked and ambushed no less than a hundred times.
Although they were all small-scale battles, the losses of the Barcelona people were close to six or seven thousand, far exceeding previous estimates—of course, the Zenit people also paid a very heavy price, killing the kings of four dependent countries. More than 10,000 corpses were left behind, but most of them were not regular soldiers.
When the [Sea God Legion] had advanced a thousand kilometers, the first large-scale battle finally broke out between the two sides.
Pedro has not figured out yet, what exactly he encountered is the regular army of Zenit.
The enemies in front of them are several times stronger than the miscellaneous soldiers of the former subordinate countries of the [Sea God Legion], both in number and combat power. In about a quarter of an hour, a frontal charge of the elite battalion of the [Sea God Legion] was unable to defeat the local army. The position was beaten back, which shocked Pedro extremely.
What's even more incredible is that Pedro soon discovered that his army was faintly surrounded.
This is unbelievable to many Barcelona people. How dare the lowly Zenit people have the courage to react in such a fast time and launch a counterattack? How dare a group of lowly jackals plan to besiege a superior dragon
It turned out that the various attacks and harassments that the Zenit people were fearless before were all to delay time, so that the main battle army behind them could calmly set up an encirclement circle. Legion]
Big appetite!
What a boldness!
At this moment in the battle, this one of the best graduates of the Royal Military Academy of La Masia also had to admit that he had encountered the enemy—the Zenit side, there must be a master tactician behind him, commanding the South The war situation in Xinjiang, this lowly first-class empire, is prepared!
Pedro also quickly realized that not only himself, but the whole of Barcelona had encountered unexpected enemies.
The Zenit people are not as easy to defeat as ordinary first-tier empires. They have always been arrogant, so that the Barcelona military did not carry out detailed intelligence collection and analysis work before the war. Mentality, the [Sea God Legion] has suffered a great loss now, if it does not improve, it will also cause the follow-up Barcelona main battle legion to suffer a great loss in the future.
"If this goes on, it won't work, it seems like a quick fight!"
Looking at the anxious situation ahead, Pedro finally couldn't help but make a move.
A majestic force surged out of him, sweeping across the battlefield like a hurricane. The terrible coercion made ordinary soldiers almost unable to stand still. The Barcelona army began to retreat very regularly. In this way, Pedro can directly attack the Zenit people in a large area without worrying about accidental injury.
However, almost at the same time, a force no less than that of Pedro appeared in the Zenit camp inconceivably.
This force is dark and cold, full of killing and destruction.
Pedro choked slightly.
"How did this happen? There is such a master hidden in the enemy's camp, why didn't I notice it at all? Could it be... Emperor Yassin himself went out to fight?"
