Based on the big camp by the sea and relying on the city-states of Syria in the north, the Nannar Legion has built several strategic strongholds on the border. The front line is relatively wide. It is impossible for such a long distance to have great gods in every section. The sorcerer always launches the detection magic to scan the sky, so it is not difficult to find the weak point of the defense line and infiltrate it.
To the south of the Black Fire Swamp, near the newly emerged inland lake, was originally a barren and desolate area of bare hills, and not far away was the Gobi Desert. But after the great flood, the environment here has changed. Lush jungles have grown up, and there are many wild animals and some weak monsters. Amon and Medanzuo came here last time when they inspected the landforms.
In a grassy clearing among the jungles they found a group of men on horseback, hunting!
And in a secluded location at the foot of the mountain not far away, there is a gorgeous big tent. There are guards around the tent. Looking from a distance, the uniforms are clearly not ordinary soldiers, but like the personal guards of a certain important person. Judging from the lineup, there should be very few people who can have a personal guard of this size.
Now is the time for the decisive battle between the armies of the two countries. It is very surprising that there are people playing and hunting behind the battle line and setting up such a gorgeous camp! Even the head of the legion doesn't have the guts, does he? George wanted to fly lower and closer so that he could take a closer look, but Amon stopped him and said, "We can't get any closer. There must be a great magician there, and he might be on guard all the time."
At this moment, George frowned and said: "The crystal shuttle has sensed, someone accidentally swept towards the sky with the detection magic just now, although it is too far away to detect us, but that person is definitely a Great magician. We are now deep behind enemy lines, and it will be very troublesome once we are exposed, and we really can’t get any closer.”
This faint "cloud" in the sky drifted away quietly with the wind, and Amon pondered on the crystal shuttle: "What kind of person can come here to hunt at this time, and there is a great magician guarding him?" The two Looking at each other, they had already made guesses. Amon had already figured it out, but George didn't close his mouth for a long time in surprise.
Amon looked solemn, and said again: "Go back, I have a plan to discuss in detail, although it is very risky, but it is much safer than the army leaving the coastline and going deeper, it depends on whether you agree, Lord Priest."
At dusk, the two returned to the camp of the An-La Legion. The senior generals of the legion spent the night secretly discussing in the big tent of the Chinese Army. On the second day, the Nannar Legion of Hatti Kingdom in the north got the return of the scouts, and the An-La Legion really left the coastline and marched towards the desert to the east, which was exactly in line with the expectations of the kingdom's frontline command.
…
The An-La Legion set off early in the morning. There were about 1,500 people in the vanguard, and the banner of the coach was also among them. It seemed that they were all elites. However, the big camp by the sea did not withdraw, and two-thirds of the An-La Legion still remained in the camp.
Orebane, the head of the Nannar Legion, summoned the generals to judge the purpose of Amon's march, and the chief priest Vivian analyzed: "The enemy is relatively cautious, and they sent elite combat troops to open the way ahead, clearing away the obstacles before proceeding. Let the heavy soldiers escort the military supplies to follow. This way you can fight and retreat, and you won’t panic when you encounter obstacles, and the army leader Amon is at the forefront.”
Aurebein added: "Master Gelie reminded that although the combat effectiveness of the An-La Legion is average, the Legion Commander Amon is the person who is most familiar with the terrain in this area, more familiar than all our commanders. "
Vivian sneered: "So what? This is a legion battle, not an expedition by him alone! The An-La Legion is going to die. We found the pharaoh's order from the intercepted messenger. Ah Meng is just executing the order, he has no other way to go. Lord Legion, when do you think it is appropriate for us to launch an attack?"
Orebein replied: "The order I received is very simple. I don't need to worry about that motley army if they don't move. If they move closer to the main battlefield, they will advance along the coastline to cut off the backup supplies and attack from behind. Now Order to prepare for the attack, monitor the movement of the opponent, and if the supply team in the camp also moves out, attack when they have just set off."
Vivian reminded: "You have to attack his follow-up troops, be careful of the forward troops turning around and attacking."
Orebein asked back: "How strong is this motley army? If the forward troops are forced to retreat, my goal will be achieved, and the An-La army will still stay where it is. Wait for the main battlefield. The overall situation is certain, aren’t they just the meat delivered to my mouth? When you want to eat it depends on your mood.”
The Nannar Legion gathered its elite and was ready to go, but after waiting for a whole day, Amon's forward troops had already gone far in the desert, and there was still no movement in the camp by the sea. The soldiers of the Nannar Legion, who had already been neatly dressed, were a little tired. Orebein and Vivian were wondering what kind of tricks Amon was up to. Could it be that the legion commander only took 1,500 soldiers to go lightly? Save Pharaoh
If Amon really decides this way, then the level of military command is like an idiot, but anything can happen in the world. I heard that the legion commander was promoted by an ordinary warrior, and he has never led troops to fight. . Countermeasures should be arranged according to the changes in the battlefield situation. Olebain immediately decided to wait for Amon to go further and separate from the barracks behind to echo him, so that he could calmly lead his troops directly to cover the kill.
The soldiers had been tense all day, and Orebein ordered the soldiers to take off their armor and rest temporarily, and wait until tomorrow morning to act. Unexpectedly, urgent reports came one after another at this time. Amon, who was marching slowly, suddenly changed direction, turned from the desert to the north, and led 1,500 forward troops to launch a fierce attack on the defense line of the Nannar Army!
This battle was fought very strangely, completely unconventional, and beyond everyone's expectations.
Amon brought cavalry and chariot soldiers, spear throwers with long shields, and archers in light leather armor also boarded the chariots. They only brought three days of food, grass and drinking water with them, so they were quite mobile. During the day, he marched slowly and deliberately saved his energy, but at night he suddenly galloped northward, and soon fell between the two strategic fortresses arranged by the Nannar Legion along the border.
Half of the main force of the Nannar Legion was assembled in the camp by the sea waiting to attack, and the rest of the troops were lined up along the border, relying on the fortifications for defense and vigilance, and the troops were naturally dispersed. Although defensive operations took a lot of advantage, Amon shrunk 1,500 elite troops to a single point of attack, and there were only more than 300 regular defenders in the two fortresses on the front line of defense.
Although he has been under close surveillance, Amon's change of direction was too sudden, and his marching speed was too fast! He didn't mean to capture the fortress, but just wanted to break through the line of defense and march towards the Syrian city-state behind. The defenders resisted desperately, but Amon was still allowed to break through the line of defense.
Amon let the chariot rush forward on the two wings, and led the bodyguard cavalry to form an arrow in the middle. When approaching the line of defense, the archers on the chariot launched a dense volley under the cover of the shields of the gunners, and then rushed forward, and the gunners also shot spears one after another. On a small front, overwhelming arrows The arrows and shuttle arrows penetrate the ground like hedgehogs.
As soon as the guard raised his head from behind the bunker, the personal guard led by Medanzuo had already rushed over, riding a steed and brandishing an epee, and was the first to rush through the fence. 1,500 chariots and cavalry charged at full speed, and under the cover of intensive volleys of bows, arrows and spears, Amon led his army to trample past, only losing dozens of cavalry. Except for a few people, the defenders fled back to the fortress and suffered nearly 200 casualties.
In the first battle of the An-La Legion, Amon won a complete victory!
This victory was too important to the soldiers of the An-La Legion. They had never fought a battle before, and in their hearts, they always thought that this legion was a motley army without combat effectiveness. After some rectification by Amon, such a big victory was achieved in the first battle, and the confidence and morale were boosted imperceptibly. It turned out that the enemy was not mediocre. Many people in the battle on the battlefield don't calm down and think about it. Under what circumstances was this victory achieved
But if the victory of this battle is viewed in the context of the entire battle, it seems extremely stupid! Shrinking mobile troops to charge at full speed to break through the defense line, while the enemy's troops and combat effectiveness are stronger than their own. This is only a tactic used when breaking through and escaping. Even if Amon wanted to escape, he fled in the wrong direction, and even fled to the territory of Hatti Kingdom!
How could there be such a stupid commander in the world? Although the opponent was caught off guard for a while, as long as they gather their forces, they can directly chop up Amon's lone army into stuffing bags.
However, the head of the Orebane Legion was shocked when he received the emergency report. According to the normal combat command, he only needs to order the defense line to close in place to cut off Amon's back, and attack from both wings at the same time. When the opponent is tired, it will be natural It's at your fingertips. But Orebein did not and did not dare to issue such an order, but instead ordered the troops on both sides of the defense line to gallop back, and must stop Amon right in front.
At the same time, the main force of the Nannar Legion who had just dismounted and rested hurriedly dispatched. The light cavalry followed, followed by the chariot soldiers, and the heavy cavalry and infantry phalanx also set off in turn, striving to fight Amon as quickly as possible. The reason is very simple. If Amon just took the wrong medicine and went deep behind the enemy's lone army, although he was doomed, he might run into King Hattie who was hunting in the rear.
In case the king was disturbed, Olebain couldn't afford to walk around. He had already assured His Majesty the king that it was absolutely safe there, and he only had to rest assured to wait for the news of victory.
On the contrary, the chief priest comforted him and said: "His Majesty's camp is still far away from the line of defense. The An-La Legion's charge speed cannot be so fast. Even if people can hold on to their horses, they have to rest. Not to mention the interception along the way, our The main force of the legion will definitely be able to stop him, and will not disturb His Majesty the King at all. Since they are going to die, isn't it just right to come? After cleaning up this forward force, the next step is to easily pull out their camp by the sea , the credit for this battle is all ours, and it is right in front of the king!"
But Amon's march once again exceeded the enemy's expectations, which was simply unimaginable. It was already late at night after breaking through the defense line for more than ten miles. He ordered the soldiers to rest among a huge sand dune. It was not conducive to marching at night, and Amon also ordered the soldiers not to light a torch or emit any light.
All the troops gathered on the defense line of the Nannar Legion rushed to the front to intercept them. Amon suddenly stopped marching, which was equivalent to throwing them over. When the sky was getting dark, the opponent realized that Amon hadn't moved forward, so he gathered his troops and advanced to fight Amon, and the main force of the Nannar Legion was about to arrive.
At this time, Amon gave another order, and the whole army mounted their horses and galloped at full speed, but the destination was the camp of the An-La Legion in the southwest. I just came out for a day and a night, but I have to withdraw back as fast as possible! The fight in this battle is to take advantage of the unexpected stabbing, and then run away after taking a breath.
It was not easy to get away, and on the way back, I happened to meet the main flank of the Nannar Army who rushed over. They were lucky that they didn't run into the large army head-on, because the Nannar Legion's original marching direction was to intercept in the front. On the way, they heard that Amon led the army to retreat, so they outflanked and chased them from the side and rear. The fastest light cavalry happened to be in line with the They encountered diagonally.
This was a hard battle. The An-La Legion rushed to the front with their chariots, and the heavy cavalry protected the two wings. At the critical moment, the army leader's personal guards formed sharp soldiers to kill at the front, but the leader of the rider was not the personal guard captain Medanzuo, but John who was wielding a shield in one hand and a long-handled battle ax in the other.
John seemed to have entered a state of madness at this time, and he swung his ax like a madman with swirling silver lights. Under the protection of the armored bodyguards, he braved the arrows and charged directly into the center of the enemy's formation. His combat power was not even weaker than A great samurai. The opponent's cavalry captain was caught off guard by John, who rushed out of formation and rushed to the horse. After a few rounds of fighting, he was cut off from his horse.
Amon's figure was also missing from the chariot of the commander of the An-La Legion. The commander of the battle was George, the great magician holding a staff. A team of 20 magicians also entered the battlefield under the escort of chariot soldiers. With the sound of singing, pieces of light fell, making the soldiers forget their pain, awakening the belief of victory and the strongest strength.
The soldiers of the An-La Legion had just experienced a big victory, rested in the middle of the night, and their morale was high. The opponent was just a light cavalry of about 600 people who came overnight. Although this battle was a head-to-head battle, they broke the Qingqi battle formation, and they didn't have time to clean up the battlefield to collect the spoils, and they still rushed towards their camp at full speed.
This is not a passive escape, but an action according to the original combat plan. The two consecutive victories also made the soldiers more confident, and the cooperation among the soldiers and the execution of orders became more and more comfortable. When retreating quickly, the chariot soldiers were at the back of the line, the spear throwers held long shields at the rear of the chariots for melee alert, and the archers knelt behind the shields to shoot arrows at any time.
