On the vast plains, two armies were facing each other. But in comparison, one side had a much smaller number of people. These were naturally the Helan Empire reinforcements outside of Motan City and the two million strong army of the Nusi Empire.
The main tent of the Nuwa Empire's army.
"What?" You mean, even until now, when Helan Empire has finished assembling the formation, there have not been any reinforcements within a hundred kilometers? " This person was the famous general of the Empire of Nether, Hemmers. He was also the commander of the current army of the Empire of Nether. From the looks of the current situation, the New Moon Empire was one of the empires that had benefited the most from the invasion of Helan Empire, and was also the first empire to start besieging and besieging a large city of Helan Empire.
"Reporting to Marshal, this is indeed what the scouts said. Logically speaking, if Helan Empire and reinforcements had arrived, they wouldn't have shown up so early to fight against us."
"What about the situation in Mo Tan City?" Hammers asked.
"The reports from the ten spies in the city say that everything is normal."
"Hehe, it seems that the new Empress of Helan Empire is really bold. Six hundred and fifty thousand against two million, she really thought her army was made of steel. Since that's the case, we shall accept this great gift. " Hemmers laughed.
"Marshal, from the looks of the formation, they only have 45,000 heavy cavalry, but they are all wearing cloaks and look very mysterious."
"So what if they are mysterious? Don't tell me they can fight twenty of them? Pass the order down, and send two of the four closest legions on the left and right flanks to join the left and right flanks, and wait for me to destroy their middle armies. The left and right wings also needed to complete their encirclement on the Helan Empire army. 45,000 people can turn the sky upside down? " Hemmers sneered.
"Yes, this general will pass the order right away."
Many of the staff officers in the tent also laughed out loud. There were indeed some special forces in the Sword Soul Continent, and their combat abilities were very strong. It was possible for one to fight against ten, but that would depend on what kind of soldiers they had. He had personally trained more than half of the central army that Hemmers had brought with him, and they were extremely powerful fighters. To say that Hammers had taken away 400,000 out of the 1.2 million people in the center of the army, but 800,000 against 45,000 against 45,000, that was a matter of great importance.
Duanmu Ruoxue raised the dazzling Spiritual Sword and loudly said. "Brothers of the Lee Family Army, during these past three months, everyone has suffered a lot, and today is the time to test our combat strength. I will personally lead everyone to charge into the enemy's army, cut off the enemy's head, and create a legend of our Lee Family Army. "
Duanmu Ruoxue's bold words immediately caused all the generals and soldiers of Lee Family Army to be filled with heroic spirit. They all took off their cloaks, revealing their shiny black full sets of equipment. She was wearing a full set of heavy armor. It looked very cumbersome, but it was actually very light and very soft. Behind each of them was a long bow and a bucket of Feather Arrow. The heavy sword at her waist and the crossbows at her left and right. On the left side of the mount hung a shield, and on the right side were two long sticks of weapons.
After Duanmu Ruoxue pointed her sword forward, the 45,000 people divided into nine parts and started charging. When the sounds of fighting spread throughout the day, nine parts, that were surrounded by red murderous intent, could be seen with the naked eye.
When Lee Family Army began to charge, Hemmers also ordered two heavy Cavalry Regiment to meet it head-on. However, as soon as the red murderous aura appeared, the charging speed of Hemmers' heavy cavalry couldn't help but slow down.
The two armies originally had a distance of two thousand meters, but their respective armies quickly reached a distance of only six hundred meters. In the next moment, all forty-five thousand Feather Arrow flew out in an orderly fashion.
When Hammers and the other high-ranking officers saw the red murderous aura, their expressions couldn't help but darken. However, when they saw that the Lee Family Army was actually gathering from so far away, they couldn't help but sneer at it. From such a distance, taking into account the fact that both armies were charging, the Feather Arrow could roughly shorten the attack distance by a hundred meters when it landed. In other words, the effective attacking distance of the longbow required five hundred meters, not to mention if the Feather Arrow could fly that far, even if it could fly, its penetrating power would be greatly reduced.
However, when the Feather Arrow really had to fly for five hundred meters, Hemmers and the commanders were all dumbfounded. After this round of arrows, more than half of them had fallen. Just as the first round of salvos ended, the second wave of salvos arrived. The falling heavy cavalry at the front severely affected the charge of the heavy cavalry at the back.
After the four rounds of simultaneous firing, there were less than twenty thousand people still charging from the two heavy Cavalry Regiment, and there was also no formation to speak of. Nearly half of them were blocked and tripped by their own people.
When they were still a hundred meters away from each other, the Lee Family Army completed the longbow and changed the spear. This long spear was a combination of the two long pole weapons. Without a formation, the heavy cavalry of the Empire of Nether became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. After just one look, no one was able to get up. The only thing left behind was the terrified horses running forward. Since there were no losses to the Lee Family Army s at all.
Seeing this, one of the generals shouted in panic, "Marshal!"
Hemmers said with a gloomy face, "What are you panicking for? Do as we planned and have the archers deal with them."
Having dealt with two of the heavy Cavalry Regiment, the Lee Family Army was extremely imposing, and continued to charge forward after reforming its formation, the red killing intent also became a lot thicker.
As the rain of arrows fell again, the army of archers in front of Hemmers also suffered heavy casualties, even the few rows of archers at the very front of the formation were no exception. The Feather Arrow s shot out by the Lee Family Army were extremely powerful, as their shields were like paper in front of these Feather Arrow.
"Long spear formation preparation." Hemmers himself gave the order. Lee Family Army's Feather Arrow s' attack range was beyond his imagination. His two heavy Cavalry Regiment and archers were both taken advantage of and treated as targets for free, so he was unable to retaliate.
However, in the next moment, Hemmers felt like he was going crazy. His Lee Family Army s unexpectedly all pulled out rapid fire crossbows and turned into running horizontally. The cost of this Rapid Fire Crossbow was extremely high. Even if he brought 2000 people this time, the Rapid Fire Crossbow would only be enough.
Facing such a huge army of a few hundred thousand, Lee Family Army did not even need to be aimed at. In just two seconds, 340,000 crossbow bolts fell like locusts into the ranks of the Nuwa Empire. At least a hundred thousand people had been shot to death, and tens of thousands more had been wounded.
Hemmers was driven mad. The commanders by his side were all stunned, while the soldiers in the formation of the longspears were all frightened into retreating. Many of the heavily injured soldiers were frantically crawling backwards.
Five minutes later, Lee Family Army was completed setting up the formation five hundred meters away.
Seeing this, Hemmers ordered, "Pass down the order, let the two light Cavalry Regiment attack together."
"Marshal, their Feather Arrow attacks are too far away." A high-ranking officer worriedly asked.
"Nonsense, how could I not know? But I can't be scared by a mere 45,000 people, so I ordered the light Cavalry Regiment to attack at full speed to surround the nine of them. As long as their speed is fast enough and encircle them, I'll see what their Feather Arrow can do. Once the encirclement is completed, the two elite heavy infantry legion will attack together. "
However, just as the Cavalry Regiment s attacked, it welcomed the attacks from several Feather Arrow. Only half of the group advanced to a hundred and fifty meters from the Lee Family Army formation. However, the people in front of them discovered, to their horror, that Lee Family Army actually raised their crossbows once more, and in the next moment, another three hundred and forty thousand crossbow bolts were shot out. Even those who were still alive had to turn around and run. If the Heavy Cavalry were to rush over, they would be completely annihilated. If he and his men were to go over, he would be courting death.
"Marshal, retreat." Someone suggested.
"Retreat my ass, can you run on two legs more than four? Let the Heavy Infantry Regiment hold on, and order each wing to send three legions to support them, and make sure this force is eliminated. " Hemmers ordered frantically. His heart was bleeding. It had not even been an hour since the start of the battle, yet his army of eight hundred thousand men had been reduced to less than a hundred thousand men.
When they were about a hundred metres away from each other, the square in the middle actually split apart, and from it, dozens of people riding black leopards that were three metres long rushed out. All of the black leopards roared out, one after another, and the black leopards roared out, immediately causing the medium class Infantry soldiers who were ready to fight for their lives to be shocked silly. The combat power his Lee Family Army displayed today had already completely exceeded their imaginations. With one person shouting for them to escape, everyone threw their helmets and armor to the ground to escape.
Hemmers fell silent. No matter how many officers asked him questions, he didn't answer, while the personal guards, upon seeing the situation, hurriedly carried him and fled.
However, how could Lee Family Army let Hemmers off? The appearance of the Black Leopard Cavalry was precisely to capture Hammers and his think tanks. In less than three minutes, they had caught up to Hammers and completed their decapitation mission. As for those heavy infantry that had fled, Duanmu Ruoxue did not give the order to chase them down. Those people had already lost their courage and had no strength to fight anymore. Now the six legions on the left and right flanks were still under siege by enemy forces twice as strong as they were.
At this time, Duanmu Ruoxue led his Lee Family Army and formed a formation to support the troops from the left. As for the right wing, because it was closer to the city, according to their previous plans, the garrison troops of the city had already come out to support the right wing.
The six legions of Helan Empire that were surrounded were currently in a fierce battle, and due to them being in an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, they had suffered great losses. Up to now, there were more than half of the casualties.
On the left side, they still had not figured out the situation, when they saw a general from Lee Family Army rushing towards them. He said to the commander on the left side, "The general has ordered the entire army to enter Mo Tan City to rest and send five thousand men to clear the battlefield, to collect Feather Arrow and crossbows."
"Did the general win?" the left-wing commander asked in surprise.
"Yes, the Great General is currently leading his Lee Family Army to chase after the fleeing enemy."
"..."
Three hours later, Duanmu Ruoxue returned to Mo Tan City with a Lee Family Army that could be said to be filled with killing intent.
As soon as they entered the city, they heard shouts of "Lee Family Army, Lee Family Army ?" Cheers. Although only a small number of city guards on top of the city walls had seen the battle progress of Lee Family Army, in these three hours, the miraculous achievements of the Lee Family Army defeating eight hundred thousand soldiers of the New Deer Army with forty-five thousand people had already spread throughout the city.
Amongst the people welcoming the Lee Family Army, there was a beautiful woman. She was Han Meiji, and naturally, she had to witness the first battle of the Lee Family Army with her own eyes. The true combat power of Lee Family Army was already roughly estimated when Rotterdam was being trained. To Lee Family Army, this battle could only be considered a small test. After all, other than the leader, the rest were all new recruits. The goal of this battle was only to allow them to get used to the slaughter.
When Duanmu Ruoxue saw Han Meiji, the two girls held each other tightly. Han Meiji was in charge of supervising and building the equipment, while Duanmu Ruoxue was in charge of training the personnel and directing the battle.
After a short moment of celebration, Duanmu Ruoxue brought a group of generals to the city's guard palace. She first listened to the combat reports of the various legions.
The six legions participating in the decisive battle had lost more than half of their troops, and the five legions defending the city had lost more than half of their troops while defending.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. After resting for three days, I will leave the heavy responsibility of recovering the northern territories to you. The defending armies of the cities in the northern regions will also attack from all sides." Duanmu Ruoxue said.
A high-ranking officer said excitedly, "Great General, let us follow you and continue the battle." Right now, many of the officers regret not being able to personally witness the battle of Lee Family Army, and only listened to some of the officers and soldiers who guarded the city. But from their descriptions, everyone knew that other than having extremely good combat equipment, the quality of their personnel was also extremely good. Those orderly and uniform operations had very high requirements for the quality of the soldiers, and the generals had even higher requirements for the timing of combat.
"For the time being, it is not enough. You must quickly subdue the northern territories. However, there are only 45,000 people in Lee Family Army right now and 200,000 are planning for the future. The remaining vacancies will definitely be picked from you generals and soldiers who have performed outstandingly in battle, so we will have the chance to go to war together again very soon. If you guys want to quickly join Lee Family Army, you must move quickly to the north. " Duanmu Ruoxue laughed.
When the group of officers heard about the chance to join the Lee Family Army, they couldn't help but cheer. With just forty-five thousand people in the Lee Family Army, he was able to defeat the ace army of the Empire of New Moon, which numbered eight hundred thousand, and it was a complete victory, with almost no losses at all. Once this sort of army was expanded to a total of two hundred thousand people, how powerful would it be? Everyone was thinking of establishing military exploits as soon as possible. In the future, there would definitely be a lot of people who would want to enter the Lee Family Army, and military exploits were the best proof of that.
