Chapter 318 Disadvantages

The battle formation of thousands of people may not be considered a big scene in Yat's original memory from later generations, but this scene is shocking enough for ordinary soldiers of the Wells Legion who have lived in a vast and sparsely populated environment since childhood.

There is no need for castle attack and defense in the wild wave battle. Hundreds of people on both sides raised their weapons in the flat and vast wasteland outside the city and rushed towards each other. The visual impact and the shock of hearing and touch are the most intense.

The most combative infantry in the Wells Legion are the flag teams under Kazak and Tuba. These two flag teams do not have absolutely excellent weapons and armor. In fact, since Yat went to Paris through loans and harvested from the Dean family, the weapons and equipment of the Wells Legion have improved greatly. For ordinary infantry, everyone's weapons and armor are roughly unified.

The reason why the flag teams of Kazakh and Tuba are the strongest in combat is that the two flag teams have the highest proportion of veterans. Almost half of the soldiers of these two flag teams have more than five war experiences. Most of them were involved in the legion before the National War in Provence. However, other flag teams do not have such configuration. Among the remaining teams of the Wells Legion, only the squad leader is the veteran. In the most powerful heavy armored infantry team, less than one-third of the veterans are selected. The heavy armored infantry is just a soldier with a slightly strong physique.

Why did Yat spend a lot of money to build a baggage medical team as elite as possible? Now a medical soldier's status in the Wells Legion has surpassed a squad leader. The reason is very simple. Yat needs to treat more wounded soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the wounded soldiers who survived the enemy's sword will increase in vain. Perhaps even they themselves don't know why they will stop trembling when they are attacked by the enemy's sword next time, and the swords that stab at the enemy will no longer shift.

However, the two most powerful flag teams left the military formation, so the Wells Legion, which faced the East Airland of Val City and the Western Army, not only did not have the advantage in combat power, but was at a disadvantage from the beginning.

The ones attacking Val City were the palace guards and the elite Western border troops, especially the Imperial Guards. Needless to say, their training was not comparable to ordinary troops. For ordinary standing corps, two days of training in a week is normal, and three days can be considered to be well-trained, while the Imperial Guards' training has reached five days of training per week.

The Wells Legion trains six days a week, from dawn to dark every day. Such training intensity can be called devil training. However, less than a year after the Wells Legion officially entered the army, most of the soldiers were farmers, laborers, miners, hunters, woodcutters and even robbers. The only iron tool they had before joining the Wells Legion was the iron hoe taken from their fathers and grandchildren. What's more, many people even borrowed iron hoes from the lord's farmhouse.

In contrast, the Imperial Guard Corps, since the Burgundy became an autonomous Marquis, established this army belonging to the court. Over the decades, the Imperial Guard Corps grew step by step from the initial 100 eunuchs army to the beginning, until they had three infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment. They enjoyed the tax support of the entire Burgundy regiment. All the outstanding craftsmen of the Begundy regime made weapons and armor for them, and an army that had been in armies for decades, although they rarely fought, they could also accumulate sufficient combat experience.

Such an army is not something that ordinary civilian farmers can enter.

Most of the soldiers of the Imperial Guard Corps were elite soldiers selected from the armies of all over the country. Every year, the palace would select a group of soldiers from all over the country to enter the Imperial Guard Corps. After the Imperial Guard Corps had been involved in a few years, they would be sent to the borders and provinces of the Imperial Guard Corps to serve military positions. Another source of the Imperial Guard Corps was the sons of the "middle-level" who were mostly second sons who had no inheritance rights, sons of merchants and officials, or excellent professional mercenaries. These people were all for the generous treatment and broad prospects of the Imperial Guard Corps.

Whether it is the selected soldiers or the "middle-level" sons, these people have physiques that surpass civilians and inherent combat abilities.

The gap between the origin of the two armies, the history of the army, and even the weapons and armor was reflected in the first moment of the battle.

The attack formation of the Western Army was rushing towards the Wells Army with a slightly complete infantry regiment of the Imperial Guard Corps as the arrowhead, and the other infantry regiment and one of the Western Army as the two wings.

Before the Western Army infantry rushed forward, the cavalry of thirty cavalry had already set off from the right wing and inserted nails into the right wing and the central army of the Wells Army. The Palace Guard Corps had full-time cavalry regiments, so the infantry regiment was not equipped with heavy cavalry. The only thirty cavalry were also light cavalry responsible for passing military orders and battlefield whistle detectives, and they rarely joined the battle. This was the few advantageous forces of the Wells Army and the Imperial Guard Corps.

The enemy's cavalry attempted to rush over to interfere with the military formation. Lusinian immediately led more than 20 cavalry of the Wells Legion to rush over to intercept and drive the Western cavalry away and chased the Western cavalry to run to the flank...

While the cavalry was fighting, the gongnu hands in the two armies also began to shoot at the opponent's army. The Wells Legion almost had a shield, so it was not much damaged in the rain of arrows. However, the Western Army made full use of their weapons advantages of siege and used small stone catapults in infantry field wave battles. Fist-sized stones kept calling to the Wells Legion. The stones flew hundreds of steps away from a distance, as long as they rubbed a little edge, they could break people's bones. The Wells Legion heard several mixed calls from time to time...

In order to minimize the damage caused by the stones thrown by the catapult, Yatt sounded the horn of a fast charge, forcing the two armies to fight as soon as possible. Once the two armies merged with each other, the catapult on the opposite side would stop.

However, the first advantage of the cavalry of the Wells Legion was not born in the infantry.

On the first day of the first day of the first day, the formation of the infantry central army of the Wells Legion was immediately sunk into the trap. Odo, the adjutant of the army commanding the infantry in the back formation, immediately pushed up the prepared heavy armored infantry team. With the strong men of the heavy armored infantry team headed by the fierce man Klaus, he stopped the retreat of the central army.

Neither armies could advance, and the front lines of both sides began to cut and stab each other with swords, spears and halberds. The squadrons of the Wells Legion tried hard to stabilize the soldiers' positions. The soldiers holding the spears and shields used their shields to protect their bodies, while stabbing the winged short spears in their hands at the weak parts of the enemy's shield armor. The halberds and shackles on both sides kept waving the halberds and shackles. The halberds and shackles of the war halberds were swaying the flesh and blood of the enemy soldiers and tearing them desperately. The chain hammer of the shackles hand also swung the iron armor helmets of the enemy soldiers; the Western Army also waved the long swords and battle axes in their hands with thick armor to harvest the lives of the infantry of the Wells Legion...

Such melee will definitely be the soldiers who are afraid of death at the moment, so both sides sent military and legal teams responsible for supervising the battle or commander's personal soldiers to be in the back to support the battle. Any soldiers who have the slightest desire to retreat will be immediately killed by the supervising battle soldiers. The soldiers have no way out to retreat and can only kill the enemy desperately...

"Sir, the central army has resisted it, but the right wing has begun to show a disadvantage. Bangeda's flag team has already lost a squadron, and the right wing may break the formation." Odo rode a horse back to the back formation where Yat was located, reporting to Yat's situation on the right wing.

Yat immediately looked over on the kickstand, and the enemy was indeed rushing in. He could see the Western Army, who looked like several officers, slashing and slashing in the military formation.

Although the left wing is relatively stable under Angus' personal axe-wielding battle, it does not have any advantage.

The Wells Legion could no longer hold it.

"The order raises the smoke, and the guards follow me to support the right wing!" Yat roared at Ron beside him, took off the bow and arrow from the saddle, kicked the horse and headed towards the right wing.

Ron turned his head and asked Matthew to wave the military flag three times towards the Houfang Military Camp, raised his riding spear in his hand, and followed Yat to the right wing.
