Chapter 1342: The Longest Day in the Luolin Empire (Part 1)
The 150,000-strong army was divided into three groups, each led by Albert, Harry, and Enley.
Albert led the 50,000-strong army of the Knights of Rachel and took the middle route.
Harry led another 50,000 troops of the Knights of Rachel to take the west route.
Willie led the 50,000-strong army of the Knights of Michael and took the east route.
The armies divided into three groups: west, middle, and east, marched together and rushed towards the northern defense line of the Luolin Empire.
The last time the generals of the Luo Lin Army fought against the generals of the Britannia Army was eight years ago.
In other words, it was a counterattack against the two offensives of the Britannia Empire: "Spring Awakening" and "Summer Wind".
Now - 8 years have passed.
In the past 8 years, Luo Lin's army has not had any fighting with the Britannia army.
Not only has there been no more fighting with the Britannia Army, but in the past eight years, the Rollin Empire has also been in a relatively peaceful state, and no large-scale battles have broken out.
The only ones that can be regarded as wars are probably the battle to pacify the Baal rebellion two years ago and the battle to pacify the "Three Dukes' Rebellion" last year.
Eight years have passed, and the combat effectiveness of Luo Lin's army has declined, and most of the generals have forgotten the taste of blood and fire.
In the same eight years, the Britannia Army has been fighting various enemies.
The generals of the Britannia Army did not forget the taste of blood and fire.
Their combat effectiveness has not declined.
On the contrary, after eight years of war trials since 290 and three years of hard work since 295, it has become even stronger...
In the fierce attack of the Britannia Army, the Rollin Army was retreating, being routed, and dying - this kind of scene was played out everywhere on the northern defense line...
...
...
Rollin Empire, Northern Defense Line, Anjou Fortress.
Joachim de Adrian - After Baal launched a rebellion and was suppressed, he took over the northern defense line and became the top person in charge of the northern defense line of the Rollin Empire.
Although in terms of qualifications, he is not as good as the three veteran generals Barr, Deni, and Leo, he is still one of the few famous generals in the Rollin Empire and has the reputation of "Lion".
The Britannia Empire's southern invasion came so suddenly.
Although it is not known why the Britannian Empire ended the friendly state between the two countries, Joachim quickly mobilized the garrison of the Anjou Fortress and prepared for the battle.
...
...
Britannia Empire, Year 298, 10:00——
Standing on the wall of the Anjou Fortress, Joachim could already see the flags outside the city that almost covered the sky and the sun.
Although the distance between them and the Britannia army was quite far, Joachim, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, still relied on his intuition to keenly sense that the Britannia Empire's attack was about to begin. coming.
"The enemy is coming!" Ruo Achang ordered with a sullen face, "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Ruo Ashan's judgment is very accurate.
Less than half an hour passed before the Britannia army's attack began.
The one who attacks first,
It is the equipment unit of the Britannia Army.
Joachim made a big mistake.
Although he made this mistake, even if he realized it, he could not correct it.
The mistake he made was that he underestimated the combat power of the Britannia army.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The dense sound of breaking wind quickly hit the walls of the Anjou Fortress.
Hearing the breaking sound, Ruo Achang's pupils shrank suddenly.
Because, with decades of experience in battlefield fighting, he was keenly aware that the noises were too numerous and dense.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom......
Huge boulders landed on the top of the Anjou Fortress like a heavy rain.
It was really like a torrential rain.
The boulder never stops.
Round after round, they hit the Anjou Fortress.
Along with the boulders, there were also giant crossbow arrows.
A huge boulder happened to hit not far from Ruo Achang.
Although Ruoa Shang was not injured by the boulder, he was knocked to the ground by the shock caused by the boulder falling to the ground.
"How is this going!!"
Joachim climbed up from the city wall in shock and cast a shocked and frightened look towards the Britannian army camp outside the city.
"With such an attack density...how many trebuchets and siege crossbows does the Britannia army have?"
Ruo Achang, who has decades of military experience, heard such intensive breaking noises for the first time during a city defense battle.
It was the first time I saw such a dense rain of stones and arrows in a city defense battle...
Ruo Ashang had not yet recovered from his frightened state, and a scene that made Ruo Ashang even more panicked happened in front of him...
Hundreds of siege towers rolled towards the Anjou Fortress...
Hundreds of siege towers... Ruo Ashang no longer dares to imagine how many soldiers are loaded on so many siege towers...
...
...
Britannia Empire, Year 298, 48 minutes——
The Anjou Fortress, an important fortress on the northern defense line of the Rollin Empire, was breached by the center army led by Albert.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, it only took a little more than 2 hours.
The garrison of the fortress was nearly wiped out, and the "Lion" Joachim de Adrian was killed.
After conquering the Anjou Fortress, Albert immediately led his army to the Anjou Fortress.
While thoroughly clearing the Anjou Fortress, preparations were made for the night.
After spending the night at the Anjou fortress, Albert would lead the center army to continue advancing south the next day.
...
...
In the 298th year of the Britannian Empire, at 08:00——
Luolin Empire, Northern Defense Line, Dulan Fortress, somewhere in the wilderness outside the fortress——
Louis de Murat—a famous general in the Rollin Empire who was good at field warfare.
He once put down a large-scale civil strife and liberated more than a dozen cities that had fallen to the enemy, so he has the reputation of "Liberator".
He was ordered to command an army of 20,000 to support the Dulan Fortress on the northern defense line.
However - he came a step too late after all.
After arriving at the gates of Dulan Fortress, three flags were already flying on the walls of the fortress: the national flag of the Britannian Empire, the military flag of the Britannian Army, and the regimental flag of the Michael Knights.
Louis couldn't even escape.
Because the Britannian army that had occupied the Fortress of Tulan had discovered the Louis army approaching the Fortress of Tulan early.
After Louis led his army to the gates of the Fortress of Toulan, a full 30,000 Britannia generals had already formed an array at the fortress.
If he turns around and flees, he will definitely be pursued by the Britannia army who are ready for battle.
At that time, the ending that will greet Lewis will be a one-sided defeat.
Since you can't escape, you can only fight.
Louis could only ask the 20,000 generals under his command to prepare for battle, preparing to fight to the death with the 30,000 Britannian troops.
