The misfortune encountered by the Kang Er Si Empire is obviously not over yet, and Vader III has not yet been able to accept the news that the city of Trost was destroyed, but at this moment he immediately remembered one thing, that is, the city in the south of him. The 50,000 troops of the Legion are rushing towards the destroyed city of Trost.
Thinking of this, Vader III hastened to send someone to send news to the Southern Legion. If he was completely unprepared to rush into the city that had already been breached, wouldn't these 50,000 people be defeated?
Fortunately, the courier arrived at the Southern Legion in time. Yes, although the mainland also has magic crystals for communication, it is generally not used during wars. That thing is too easy to perceive the fluctuation of magic. If it is discovered, not only will the content of the communication be eavesdropped, but also the position of the magic crystal can be located according to the position of the receiver, revealing the whereabouts of the army.
Therefore, the work of communication during the war is generally handed over to the courier. High-level couriers ride on magic pets that can fly, and the delivery speed is actually very fast. Vader III let the fastest courier find the generals of the Southern Legion, and quickly informed them of this matter.
"What do the defenders of Trost City really do?" The head of the Southern Legion here cursed. As the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, he naturally knew the lord of Trost City, and he was considered a subordinate under his own jurisdiction during the war. Before, he thought that the other party had some ability, and the management of Trost City was good. He also went to inspect it a few times, but he didn't expect that he would be so stretched in the war, and he couldn't hold it for a few days.
Of course knowing this, the marching route of the Southern Legion has not changed in any way, it is just that it was there to support before, but now it is to take back the city.
The city of Trost is very important to the defensive front of the empire's south, so it cannot be lost. At this time, the legion leader of course also knew that the opponent's army was about 20,000 people, so he naturally felt that this was the opponent's vanguard. As for the follow-up, although they haven't detected it yet, it is expected to be hundreds of thousands.
Of course, there are follow-up troops on their side, aren't they all gathering. What he has to do now is to defeat the opponent's vanguard and find a way to take back the city of Trost before the opponent's main force arrives.
At this time, they had 50,000 troops on their side, and on the other side, 20,000 troops attacked a city with 3,000 people. Although they left the city in one day, the speed was really amazing. The army leader also felt that the opponent's troops were absolutely elite. But after all, it is a siege, so the loss should be very large.
The legion leader reckoned that the opponent's siege was so fierce that half of the loss would not be too much. That is to say, now that they fought there, they were probably facing 10,000 defenders, troops who had just experienced the siege battle. The city of Trost City must not be repaired in time, so the troops on my side should be able to capture the city.
Surely you can't give the other party time to recuperate, right? Bing is very fast. So the Southern Legion who received the news not only did not retreat to their camp to defend, but even accelerated their march, preparing to rush to retake the city.
Then...they collided head-on with the Steel Skeleton Army No. 1 team on the way.
Yes, at this moment, the head of the southern legion was in a daze, and he never thought about the fact that he could still run into the opponent's troops head-on.
In the current situation, no matter what the other party is, it is impossible for the other party to take the initiative to leave the city. He does not believe that the other party will not know the movement of his troops. The Southern Army of the Kanger Siwei Empire is an obvious troop. Does the other party know that they will come to support thing? So what courage do you have to come out with this army that just captured the city?
However, the fact is that the other party really came out, and even collided with them head-on. You said that you knew that the Southern Army was coming, and you found a place to ambush, etc., the commander of the Southern Army would never think of it. He was really ambushed, and he could understand it, and even praised the opponent's commander for being amazing.
But the problem is that now they are bumping head-on, so what do you mean by that? Look down on them, don't you?
Of course, after a while, the legion commander understood. What he thought was right, people really just look down on you.
Does Asuna, who is in charge, know about the Southern Army? totally no idea. Her task here is to fight city by city. And the conquered cities don't need to be occupied, just grab it.
The empire does not need to expand now, and the land within itself has not been fully digested. At present, the population of the empire is too small to digest the land, and it is useless to grab more land.
The purpose of this war is not land expansion, there are only two purposes, one is money, and the other is mines.
In fact, what the empire needs most is population, but only the population of its own family. Most of the countries we fought this time were not human races, and their cultures and races were different. It would take too long to digest the new population.
The solution for Linton is to grab the money back, make the country rich, and then encourage development. With money, ordinary families can naturally raise more children, and the population can explode.
So grab the money first, and then promulgate policies to encourage births. This is much safer and faster than digesting non-terran populations.
Of course, slaves and the like still have to be snatched back. The mercenary group will definitely do these things. After all, slaves are also part of the spoils. The Empire will soon have more mines, all of which require labor to develop. Although Asuna is already engaged in large-scale mining machines and other things, in this world, the main force of mining is manpower.
Since there is no need to occupy and incorporate, the Cyborg Legion certainly has no intention of continuing to stay after the city is broken. He directly handed over a squad to the following mercenary regiment, and the troops set off immediately, advancing directly in the direction of the next city.
Then they ran into the Confederate army head-on.
Asuna didn't have the idea of reconnaissance. She already knew that the other party would send troops to intercept them, but the problem is that there are 20,000 Terminator troops here, and no human troops can intercept them. Therefore, there is no need for investigation and the like, just hit and fight directly.
Indeed, she did the same thing. When she found out that there was a troop ahead, Asuna didn't know where the troop on the other side came from. Anyway, she started fighting directly if it wasn't a friendly troop. So he directed the Terminator army and rushed up directly.
At this moment, the leader of the legion on the opposite side was still in a daze. Not only did he not expect to meet the troops here, but he couldn't even tell whether the troops in front of him were the enemy or not.
In his imagination, the enemy's vanguard must not look like this. Leaving aside whether it should appear here or not, this number is wrong. It looks like there are 20,000 on the opposite side, which is comparable to the amount received before. But you just captured such a strong city without any loss? And the troops on the opposite side don't look like troops that have just experienced a large-scale siege battle. Are your soldiers not tired or what?
I haven't figured it out yet, but the opponent has already started to press forward and attack. How dare you take the initiative to launch an attack?
What's even more strange to this legion commander is that the opponent's battle process is completely out of order, which is weird in various senses.
For example, the opponent is attacking now, but the question is... Where is the attack number? To know such a large number of troops, it is very important to unify the steps of the attack. Generally, the whole team is notified by means of attack numbers and drums.
However, the strange troop on the opposite side came straight up straight up, without forming an array, and without blowing the attack horn, but in such a random move in his opinion, the rhythm of the troop on the opposite side rushing up was not chaotic at all. So it was this inexplicable strange feeling that made him a little unaware of how to deal with it.
And before he had time to adjust, the troops on both sides were already facing each other. Then the result of the collision is naturally very obvious.
With an army of 50,000, it is naturally impossible for him to stand in the front row as the head of the army. So he really couldn't see the situation in the front row clearly.
According to a general battle, the pawn line must be able to withstand for a period of time, and then make adjustments depending on the battle situation, such as sending other teams to the top, or repelling other people's front row troops, and then continue to advance or temporarily stabilize the pawn line. class selection.
But this battle obviously didn't develop like this. The regiment commander of the Southern Legion didn't even have time to observe the battle situation for a while. The two sides had been in contact for only a few minutes, and the front suddenly became chaotic. He didn't know what was going on, the line of soldiers in the first row in front exploded directly, and the soldiers started to retreat as if they saw a ghost.
"What?" The legion leader was confused. His southern legion can be regarded as one of the most elite troops in the Kang Er Si Empire. How could it be possible that the front row collapsed within a few minutes of the battle?
However, the reality is that the soldiers really think they have seen a ghost. As soon as the soldiers in the front rows on both sides made contact, they realized something was wrong. The front row on both sides must be dominated by long guns, but the problem is that the same weapon, the Southern Army's side stabs at the opposite side, the other side has no response at all, while the opposite side stabs one at a time.
As far as the steel bone army is concerned, although cold weapons are used, the timing and frequency of all terminator attacks are exactly the same. The terminators in the front row are constantly repeating the process of stabbing, pulling, stabbing, and pulling. The entire spear array is as indifferent and deadly as a life-harvesting machine.
For them, the tasks they perform seem not to be fighting, but a process like harvesting wheat with a harvester.
At the same time, the Terminator troops on the side had already begun to intersect to the side. They didn't need to wait for the result of the collision of the front line at all, and just followed the combat procedures formulated by Asuna.
The Terminator soldier in the middle quietly handed the spear forward. Yes, the durability of this spear is limited, and it broke itself after being stabbed for a while. In order not to affect the harvesting efficiency, the group in the middle is responsible for parts replacement.
The entire army cannot be said to be an army, but a large sophisticated machine combined together.
