The combat power of Lee Family Army was simply too strong, and the four Legions of Fenshui City were practically charging and charging along with it. After the battle had ended, the other seven Legions had all come too late, as they had not been able to see just how the Lee Family Army had fought. When they saw that the fire had started, they immediately rushed over in accordance to their plan. However, seeing that it was a one-sided massacre, the Haku Empire's army simply did not have any fighting spirit.
As for the mission of cleaning up the battlefield and chasing the deserters, it was naturally given to the eleven legions here. Lee Family Army immediately returned to the city to rest. In this battle, they had sacrificed more than one thousand one hundred people. After all, they were the ones who led the charge into the huge army encampment with a million troops. The army of the Hakkar Empire was not too strong at first, but they managed to organize some effective resistance.
The first battle of Lee Family Army had still puzzled many people, but the second battle had already made many people afraid. Normally, a large-scale battle like this would happen once in a while, and without a few days and dozens of days, there wouldn't be any results. How could there be a war like this, where one side had achieved complete victory and the other side had been completely defeated?
However, just as people were still verifying the specific conditions of these two battles, within four days, news of the complete defeat of the other two armies spread. Lee Family Army's fame quickly rose, and the people of Helan Empire were also boiling with excitement. As for the new recruit training camp in the northern suburbs of Rotterdam, it was currently packed with people, because when Helan Empire was announcing the results of the battle, they had simultaneously announced that they wanted to expand Lee Family Army to two hundred thousand people. These were the standard numbers of the two legions. With this reputation, the selection of personnel would have a standard. Everything was within his expectations.
In these four great battles, Lee Family Army had paid the price of five thousand people, but these five thousand people were quickly replenished by the Lee Family Army's reserve forces, which at the same time expanded into sixty thousand people. As for items that could be recycled, those that were damaged would be created and given priority to Lee Family Army.
After a short period of rest, Lee Family Army arrived at the fifth city, Tapo City. Tapo City was the third largest city in Helan Empire, with a population of nine million. The reason for the increase in the number of defenders was that the five empires had already gathered ten million troops around the city. There were countless great scenes in the history of the Sword Soul Continent with tens of millions of troops, but those were basically all battles that occurred between two empires. However, it was rare for a few empires to form an alliance like this to form an alliance. This was because none of the empires actually believed the other party. History had proven many times that if anyone really believed them, they would be eaten. But this time, the five empires were forced into a corner, the powerful fighting strength of their Lee Family Army forced them to join forces. Moreover, the news of the Lee Family Army expansion had already spread. They could not wait for the Lee Family Army to grow again, the strength of 45,000 people was already extremely terrifying, what kind of concept would it be for 200,000 people?
At the behest of the Buti Empire, the Kingdom of Germany, the Empire of Biya, the Empire of Wanda, and the Empire of Leon all responded in unison, moving their armies all the way to the bottom of Tapo City. This was an important attack, forcing the Lee Family Army to come to their rescue. If they didn't come to rescue them, the city guards wouldn't be able to hold them for long. Aside from the ten million strong siege army outside the city, the other major roads leading to the city of Tapo had also been temporarily blocked by the armies of the five empires. It was clear that they were going to eliminate Lee Family Army here, and Lee Family Army had no choice but to come to their rescue. Its economic status and strategic value were both important. If it was lost, not only would it be a great loss to the economy, the southern gate of the Helan Empire would also be completely opened. The five empires could use it as a springboard to continue their aggression against the Helan Empire.
The gathering of the armies of the five empires took about a month's time, and during this month, the Helan Empire was also busy preparing for its own deployment. Currently, there were only these five empires left in the army that had invaded Helan Empire. The others either got defeated or took the initiative to retreat back to their own countries to observe from the sidelines. The Five Great Empires wanted to use this chance to eliminate Lee Family Army, and Helan Empire wanted to use this chance to eat all of the invading armies of the Five Great Empires. Of course, the five empires weren't idiots. They had gathered an even larger army at their own countries, waiting for the right opportunity to make their move.
Looking at the current situation, Tapo City had already become the core of the competition between the Helan Empire and the Five Great Empires. Once Lee Family Army was defeated and Tapo City fell, the Five Great Empires would definitely send out their following armies to intensify their aggression. By then, Helan Empire would probably be very close to the destruction of the entire country. As for the armies of the five empires that were besieging Tapo City, from the looks of it, they didn't think that they were in any danger of being eaten.
This time, half of the troops in the siege of the Five Great Empires were cavalry, waiting for the Lee Family Army to go out of the city and surround them. As for the remaining five million troops, in their opinion, attacking the city was already enough, even if it was not enough, the cavalry could be used as infantry, the problem was that they had to first take down the Lee Family Army.
Facing the provocations of the five empires, under Han Meiji's suggestion, the Helan Empire Army made a series of preparations. After all of the arrangements were completed, the Lee Family Army began an extremely risky and bloody battle.
In the temporary headquarters of the five empires outside of Tapo City.
"Everyone, Lee Family Army is going to challenge our five nation's allied forces in South City tomorrow. What do you think?" Commander Zarondor of the Buti Empire said.
"Isn't that exactly what we want? I want to see if the rumors will make us a god or not, he's really too arrogant." Grand Marshal Boya of the Biya Empire said with a sneer.
"Zarondo, we all accepted your invitation this time. Why don't you take a look at this first?" Leon Empire's General Fan Tan said.
"Alright, then I'll talk about my plan. Judging from the current four battles at the Lee Family Army, their attack power was indeed very strong, but it was mainly limited to their longbows and arrows. Right now, we don't have a good way to take both of them, so we can only use people to exchange for the Feather Arrow s and crossbow arrows that they brought with them. " At this point, Zarondo turned to look at the other four. Seeing that all four of them nodded slightly, Zarondo continued: "Tomorrow, the three Cavalry Regiment s of my Bu Di Empire will go up first. The first wave of attack will come out and the five infantry regiments of my Bu Ti Empire will block the south gate. At the same time, the three empires of the Sun Dynasty, Biya Empire, and Wanda Empire respectively blocked the three northern, eastern, and western gates. When the three Cavalry Regiment of the Empire of Butt are all finished, the three Cavalry Regiment of the Empire of Leon will be up. You three armies of the three empires will draw lots and arrange your troops according to the order in which they draw lots. They are well-equipped, but the soldiers are still ordinary soldiers. I don't believe that after going through wave after wave of charge, they won't be tired. Even if they can persevere, their horses won't be able to make it. Without Feather Arrow, crossbow bolts and power, they could only wait to die. After the battle, Lee Family Army's equipment was divided up according to everyone's sacrifice. As for the benefits after taking over the city, they will also be distributed according to the sacrifice. "
With regards to Zarondo's strategy, the four of them all agreed after some thought. Perhaps there was a better way, but it would only affect the distribution of the benefits among the five countries. Besides, he only had 60,000 cavalrymen, so how much could he lose? Regarding the other four nations' losses, the analysis of these five people was because they did not know the battle methods of their Lee Family Army, to the point where they were unintentionally struck by it and had been caught off guard.
The next day, the south of the city was densely packed with over five million troops of the Five Great Empires. However, there were only sixty thousand soldiers on the Helan Empire side. All the soldiers and generals of the Southern City did not understand why the military had made such arrangements. Wasn't this equivalent to sending Lee Family Army to its death? Although Lee Family Army had won four great victories before, it was obtained with the help of several or even more than a dozen legions. Although they knew that Lee Family Army's combat power was strong, sixty thousand versus fifty million, the comparison in numbers was too huge. The opponent was not an unarmed commoner, and many of them were battle-hardened and elite troops.
However, Lee Family Army continued to walk towards the center of the arena without hesitation. When they reached the center, the twelve formations of Lee Family Army immediately formed a circular defensive formation. Everyone dismounted from their horses, using their horses and shields to form a temporary defensive formation. In the process, the five Buti Empire infantry legions had also blocked the south gate.
Facing such a formation of Lee Family Army, Zhalong and the other five couldn't help but be taken aback.
But after a while, Zarondo laughed, "Looks like the other party has guessed that we will be using Wheel Battles to conserve manpower. "Then let's see if the soldiers of our five empires are afraid of death. My Buddy Empire will go first."
Following the order given by the flag, the three Cavalry Regiment began to charge forth. Although they knew that the chances of survival were not high, soldiers were like this, obeying orders was their duty, and they were not completely unprepared either, each of them equipped with a large shield.
When the three Cavalry Regiment s of the Bu De Empire were about six hundred meters away from the Lee Family Army's defensive position, the sixty thousand people of the Lee Family Army suddenly roared. In that instant, the circular defensive array immediately revealed a red murderous aura. Amongst the three Cavalry Regiment s in charge, many of the horses at the front were startled, and some directly fell to the ground while others stopped moving. Even though they were still charging from the back, their speed clearly slowed down. Most importantly, their formation was already a bit chaotic. And it was also at this time, that the Feather Arrow's attacks from the Lee Family Army also arrived. Three directions each had twenty thousand, and the charging Cavalry Regiment s fell down one after another like cutting wheat, with no small number of people tripping over each other. After the six rounds of Feather Arrow, there was actually no one who charged into the two hundred meter radius of Lee Family Army. The lucky survivors, seeing that there were not many left, immediately turned around and ran. At this time, no one would scold them for being cowards. If they continued charging forward, they would be fools.
In the past, they had only heard that Feather Arrow s and arrows from Lee Family Army had a greater range than expensive crossbows, but now, seeing them was still shocking. Feather Arrow from Lee Family Army wasn't as simple as shooting distance, the key point was shooting accurately.
Zarondo, who was standing on the battle arena from afar, could not help but scold: "I wonder what kind of people this Lee Family Army is, could it be that they are all natural born divine archers? God damn it. "
The marshal of the other four kingdoms also had an extremely unsightly expression on his face. The marshal of the Wanda Empire, Si Jiaro, said, "The principle of true sage under fame is indeed very reasonable. No wonder the armies of the four empires were defeated so quickly."
Bu Yi Cha said, "I think we should just use the large siege weapons to attack them. Let's not waste our time to charge."
Zarondo could not help but be annoyed: "We are not stupid, our Lee Family Army is not stupid, by the time we get the catapult, they would have already run back to the city. If they were to go all out, my five hundred thousand soldiers would definitely not be able to stop them. And the joke of our five empires being afraid of fighting with sixty thousand people is that in less than two days, it will spread across the entire Sword Soul Continent. Our army's morale will also be severely damaged, so how can we fight in the future? "
Fan Xian sighed, and nodded towards his soldier, indicating that he wanted to order his three Cavalry Regiment s to begin the second wave of the suicidal attack.
Filling up with crossbows in a row was extremely troublesome, and the arm strength used up a lot of energy when shooting Feather Arrow s. Furthermore, the goal of the five empires was to exhaust their Lee Family Army to death, which was also a helpless action. However, they were extremely interested in Lee Family Army's equipment. After all, if they won, they could immediately use the equipment to equip their own army, and if they could find a way to produce it, then their own country would be able to mass produce it. This was one of the main reasons why the five nations were willing to trade their lives for it.
When the Lee Family Army easily repelled the first wave of the enemy's three legions' attack, the officers of the Southern City of Tapo City could not help but feel a sense of welcome and encouragement. Looking at the situation now, it was not a problem for Lee Family Army to block the first few waves of attack, the key lay in whether or not he could persevere.
When the Empire of Leon's second wave of Cavalry Regiment stepped onto the corpses of the first wave of the Butt Empire's Cavalry Regiment, they also welcomed the Feather Arrow attacks of the Lee Family Army, and the result was exactly the same as the Empire's. Every legion had hundreds of people running back, and some who were still alive after being hit by the arrows were also crawling back, and at this time, no one dared to stop to save them, because the third wave of Cavalry Regiment had already started its charge, so they had to quickly make way for them.
But this time, the Lee Family Army did not use another Feather Arrow attack, but instead placed the enemy at a location two hundred meters away and used a crossbow attack.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Even the spectators in the city forgot to cheer. This was simply a massacre.
After the first wave of attack, the combined army of the five nations was shocked, and after the second wave of attack, the combined army of the five nations was terrified, but after the third wave of attack had gone through a short period of sluggishness, everyone's eyes immediately turned red, they knew that if they did not eliminate this devil army in front of them, they would not be able to leave the Helan Empire alive.
When the fourth wave of three Cavalry Regiment began their charge, Bu Yi Cha said, "Zarondo, make the rest of the Cavalry Regiment get their bows and arrows quickly. If they enter our range, there will probably be a lot of casualties."
"It's useless. We are unable to equip every single rider with bow and arrow, and we do not know which round they will use Feather Arrow to attack. Furthermore, according to the intelligence, our conventional Feather Arrow s do not have much damage to them. Only when they are close by can the crossbow be used as an attack weapon, but it is clearly unrealistic to use a crossbow to attack them. Furthermore, they are already setting up a defensive formation. I really don't know what kind of people will provide them with this kind of equipment. If this kind of army really has a million people, how will we fight in the future? " Zarondo replied in a sad tone.
"Zarondo, don't be so disheartened, the battle has reached this point, I've thought it through. I will hand over all the troops I brought this time to you to direct, you must definitely leave this Lee Family Army here. It's a good thing that their equipment is very difficult to forge. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to wait until now to have 60,000 people. As long as we destroy this army, they will have difficulty building another one for a short period of time. " Fan Xian said.
When the other three heard Fan Xian's words, they immediately expressed their agreement and handed the command to Zarondo. It could be said that the four of them had lost to Zarondo in accepting him. Although they had been forced to form an alliance on the spur of the moment, after experiencing the three violent suicide attacks just now, they also understood that if they could not take down Lee Family Army today, they would not be able to return home alive.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble the four of you. Let's calm down and see how many crossbow bolts he has and how much strength he has to shoot the Feather Arrow." Zarondo said in a deep voice.
