Chapter 16 Advance

.It is very unimaginable that a human being can resist the most vicious monster in the world fighting just as much as possible. But the facts are right in front of you, and people cannot help but believe it.

After Minotaros fell into a violent rage, the gap between the two was narrowed to a level close to zero. Although they were a little older, their physical strength decreased. However, they were given more experience and more skillful skills. On the one hand, Artoria, in terms of strength, could barely compare to the old Minotaur. At the same time, the skills and flexibility won slightly.

Both sides can be said to be half a dozen. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The two cruel warriors have the stalemate of their battles. However, from the moment, Minotaurus still has a little upper hand. Because of its size and weapons, Artoria will be seriously injured as long as it hits its opponent once. For this reason, even if Artoria hits Minotaurus many times, as long as it is not a vital point, the Minotaurus will be able to grit its teeth and persevere...

This extraordinary battle was in a stalemate. Whether it was a comprehensive battle or the one-on-one challenge between Minotaurus and Artoria, they all fell into a stalemate. The Norman Hussars had just fought for a fierce battle and were resting. It was also very difficult for the Celtic Knights to take down the Roman [Mikang] cavalry on the opposite side. As for the front battlefield, it was indeed the Celtic Army that had a little advantage - but that advantage was very fast, because Minotaurus had broken through the Norman front and disappeared.

Around the gap, the Celtic army and the Roman army fought for a desperate battle. Then a single-on-one battle between the generals of both sides broke out. The two soldiers were completely unaware of their relatives. The strong winds wrapped by swinging the battle axe sword were so strong that they could blow people down. Not to mention what would happen if they got closer. So whether the Celtics wanted to close the gap or the Romans wanted to take advantage of the situation to strengthen the attack, they could only wait until the generals of both sides decided to take the winner before they could take the next move.

It is conceivable that no matter which side wins, their morale will greatly improve. The defeated side will inevitably be frustrated - even more so for the Celtics, because they are fighting their queen. It can be said that the outcome of this one-to-one battle is enough to affect the trend of the entire battle situation.

And at this moment, Liliannu and the only remaining Roman reserve team under her command - a total of 500 Roman imperial guards entered the battlefield. They seemed a little tragic and also felt like they were desperate. This army carrying Rome, the infinite glory of the thousand-year empire, launched a charge towards a corner of the Norman super long [Mikura] square formation.

Throw the mark [Mikang] - then draw out the sword and start a charge. Except for the increasing equipment, everything is exactly the same as the heavy infantry in the heyday of Rome thousands of years ago. It is both tradition and glory. These soldiers roared, waving the sharp sword in their hands and stabbed towards the Celtic soldiers' armor joints, the faces and necks of their helmets. Their Queen Liliannu rushed in front, wearing red armor and bright red cloaks, which were extremely dazzling.

But such dazzlingness is really a danger on the battlefield. Those who know her know her are the Queen of Rome, and those who don’t know her know her most of them are a big shot. So the fire [Mikang] heavy crossbow takes care of her. Thanks to the soldiers around her who fought desperately to block her [Mikang]. Otherwise, the ten Lilians would die here too...

However, as soon as the news that the Roman Empress came on stage came out, the morale of the Roman army was indeed greatly boosted. Although the number of reinforcements of the Imperial Guard was small, they were indeed extremely elite. They waved the sword and shield and attacked one after another. They quickly broke through a hole in the Celtic [Mikura] formation! Although they then fell into the siege of more Celtic troops, as the gap opened, more excited Roman troops began to act. They rushed towards the gap, making the Celtic troops exhausted.

After all, removing the cavalry of the Knights and the Normans. The strength of this phalanx is only 20,000 or 30,000. At the beginning, being able to compete with four or five times the enemy's attack relied on the advantages of formation and long-range weapons. However, now, the two armies are connected, and the advantages of long-range weapons are weakened. With the continuous attack of the Romans, the super-long [Mikang] array has also become full of loopholes. The advantages in the formation have also been weakened...

Under such circumstances, the battle situation was tilted towards the Romans little by little. If it continued to develop, the final result of this battle should end with the Romans' victory. Celtic and Norman's 40,000 troops have now killed more than their number of Roman troops!

"As long as I can win this victory, I can stabilize my position and have a certain advantage in the confrontation with the Normans - but. Just a group of Celtic Norman troops are so strong. So how much does the real Norman army have grown to now?!" Seeing that our army gradually gaining the advantage, Liliannu was secretly happy, and then, a question that could not be ignored made her slightly happy mood worse.

Just fighting one-third of his own and fighting for the Celtic Norman army, he had to do his best and could only win a miserable victory. So when the main Norman army came, can the Roman army really fight against them and win?

"Or, after this war, go back to Constantinople to defend? This seems to be a very good choice..." So Liliannu made this idea again: "After winning a victory, the people would be comforted many times. At the same time, the tragic losses can also be used as a reason to not be able to persevere. In this way, the Normans can be blocked by the strong walls of Constantinople. As long as this crisis is overcome, the empire will still have great potential!"

It is true, every time and every time. When the barbarians were strong, the Romans defended themselves in Constantinople. As long as Constantinople was not lost, the empire had hope. Countless times, the empire lost a large tract of territory, and even the so-called empire, there was only one Constantinople left - but in the end, these wars ended with the victory of the Romans.

——Failed——Retreat into Constantinople——Barish siege cannot be broken———Soldiers exhausted——Counterattack——Win.

I don't know how many times this cycle has happened. Arabs, Turks, Ross, Bulgarians, Magyars... Almost all the enemies adjacent to the empire have experienced such things. This script with almost the same routine has been staged countless times. This is also the Unfallen City of Constantinople that has also ensured that the Eastern Roman Empire has been protected many times. This has allowed the city to rise from a simple settlement and fortification to a spiritual sustenance, and even faith…”

However, when Liliannu was thinking so excitedly - another thunder swordsman roared and swung his sword toward her. The barbaric Celtic soldier did not have the kindness of Emperor Norman's kindness. This strike hit Liliannu's head and chopped down. If he hit it, it would definitely turn the Roman queen who was dreaming and her head turned into two halves!

However, although Liliannu was not as good as Egil and Artoria, a powerful general who was a thousand horse, was also a rare warrior. He heard something wrong in his ears, so he wanted to dodge to the side - but this was not a one-on-one battle, but on the battlefield! Next to her was a Yulin Army soldier. There was no room for her to dodge at all!

"Damn it! It's so damn!!" Liliannu cursed secretly. At that time, the sword had already been cut off. Liliannu had to turn his head, avoid the fatal key, and instead use his left shoulder to take the strike. Liliannu's shoulder armor at least endured the attack. However, the cotton armor on the lining could not fully absorb the opponent's strength. The queen was hit hard on her left shoulder, and a severe pain immediately made Liliannu's face become ferocious.

While dodging, Liliannu also stretched out his hand and stabbed a sword at the other party's neck. It was one of the few flaws of the Thunder Swordsman wearing plate armor!

Like a poisonous snake spitting a letter, Liliannu succeeded with one move! The Roman-style short blade stabbed the target directly, then suddenly pulled to the right, and turned, cutting off a large piece of flesh. Arterial blood kept gushing out like a fountain. The target's Thunder Swordsman immediately twitched and fell to the ground, falling into a state of dying...

Afterwards, Liliannu moved his left shoulder a little - although it was still in severe pain, his arms could still be raised. In other words, what Liliannu was most worried about did not happen - her bones were not broken.

"Good luck." The Roman Queen breathed a little relieved. Then she eliminated her distractions and continued to work hard on the battlefield.

Such a stalemate lasted for about half an hour. The Romans' advantage continued to expand. They eroded the left and right wings of the Celtic array and attacked three sides in a one-and-a-half-encircled form, making it almost impossible for the Celtic army to support it! If the Romans could distribute another mobile force, bypass the war zone, and attack the Celtic from behind, then the war would probably end? It's a pity that the Romans no longer had any mobile force in the reserve team. The Roman Queen, who was able to issue orders, is now fighting on the front line. So this is just a "if" and "hypothesis".

After that, the action that could really change the situation of the battle began. After a period of rest, nearly 4,000 Hussars once again launched an attack on the flanks of the Roman army with the power of thunder and lightning!!!
