Chapter 282 Bloody Battle (48/103)

The Saxon army, which attacked the two cliffs, was the first to be hit by the archers and suffered heavy losses immediately. Then they finally climbed the cliff, but they still had to face the heavy armored swords and shield soldiers who were in good condition.

The moment the two sides confronted each other, the horseless Saxon Legion was slaughtered one-sidedly, and the situation did not improve slightly until it forced into the inside of the defense line.

On the other hand, the Eagle Feather Legion on the main road charged along the avenue, and except for encountering several waves of Spurs, they almost never encountered any obstacles.

However, the tight spears on both sides of the road made their backs chill. The spearmen used the trees standing on both sides of the road to resist the attacks of the heavy cavalry, and from time to time they looked for opportunities to poke the spear out and stab them.

The Eagle Feather Legion encountered such a frustrating situation for the first time and had no way to attack the enemy, and at the same time it was secretly attacked by the enemy.

After rushing forward for a moment without thinking, the commander of the Eagle Feather Legion finally felt a little scared. Judging from the current situation, even if they rushed all the way to the bottom of the Vienna city wall, they would not be able to cause any substantial damage to the enemy. After all, they could not fly over the city wall on horseback and continue to charge.

But if they continue to rush down, once the enemy turns around and blocks the hole, then these eagle-feathered cavalry will become turtles in the jar and there is no possibility of survival.

Thinking of this, the commander of the Eagle Feather Legion began to rectify the army, wanting to make the cavalry turn around and rush out backwards.

However, this is not a cavalry team, but a legion of tens of thousands of people. How could it be that it could turn around and the soldiers rushing forward were ordered to turn around, while the cavalry left behind were still rushing forward.

The pace of the front and back no longer coincided, and the entire team began to be in chaos.

Not far ahead of Vienna, there is a wide open space. Walking along the avenue here, the room for maneuvering becomes larger.

Tens of thousands of Eagle Feather Legions finally squeezed into this open space in chaos. The commander of the Eagle Feather Legion also took this opportunity to start issuing orders to mobilize soldiers. If they were given some time, the entire Eagle Feather Legion would definitely be able to restore normal order.

However, General Ike had long noticed the situation here when he stood high. He immediately ordered the spearmen of the defensive army to surround and kill the chaotic cavalry.

At the same time, a cavalry team of about a thousand people rushed out of Vienna. Halfway through the rush, the cavalry team separated to the two sides, strangling towards the chaotic Eagle Feather Legion like two sharp blades.

Saxony's Eagle Feather Legion immediately fell into an unprecedented danger, with enemies rushing around, so they could only retreat in the middle, so the room for maneuver was further narrowed.

Finally, the entire Eagle Feather Legion fell into complete chaos, huddled together like a large meat ball combined with a human body and a horse body.

The spearmen formed a long battle formation in front and back three rows, and advanced steadily towards the Eagle Feather Legion. The Habsburg cavalry behind rushed to the vicinity of the Eagle Feather Legion in both directions, and then went away in an instant like a dragonfly.

The poor Saxon cavalry were tied in the middle and could not be beaten or escaped. They were immediately cut down to the ground layer by layer.

When the commander of the Eagle Feather Legion saw this scene, his eyes turned red. He knew that if he didn't do anything, the entire Eagle Feather Legion would be loaded here today.

In desperation, the commander of the legion roared wildly, and with more than a hundred personal guards under his command, forcibly squeezed out of the team and rushed towards the spearmen.

Since there was not enough distance for the cavalry to speed up, they were at a great disadvantage from the beginning. As soon as several cavalry rushed over, they were stabbed by several spears. Then they flew into the air like a scarecrow, and died immediately after landing.

The personal guards suffered heavy losses immediately, but they continued to rush forward, looking fierce and fearless.

The number of defensive slingers was limited after all, and there was no way to surround all the Saxon cavalry. In the end, a cavalry team led by the legion commander opened a hole.

Then the Eagle Feather Legion rushed out like a stream of water, rushing out along the opening and rushing along the road when it came.

The defensive sprites were chasing them wildly. No one would miss the opportunity to beat the dogs in pain and stabbed their spear towards the fleeing Saxon cavalry for fear of their lives.

During such a pursuit battle, the defensive army began to gradually suffer some casualties. Until the end, all the living Saxon cavalry broke out of the encirclement, and the battle came to an end.

During this attack, Duke Billon did not fight in person. He stayed in the military tent and wanted to find Vienna's defensive flaws through maps and sand table deductions.

As a result, at night, he received news of heavy casualties in the army. The Eagle Feather Legion, which was attacking along the main road in the middle road, was surrounded. The battle was very fierce and he lost two thousand people. However, among the three armies, the fewest people were lost.

Although the situation of the Eagle Feather Legion in the middle is dangerous, the battle time is short after all, and most of the time is spent in charge and escape. On the other two armies almost entered the battle state from the beginning, and fought until the Eagle Feather Legion evacuated.

Under such high-intensity battle, the army attacking the cliff on the left lost 3,500 people, and the right even worse. The army with more than 10,000 people lost more than 4,300 people, almost half.

Such a battle loss is simply terrible. Duke Billon's cavalry regiment has never suffered such heavy losses since leaving the Northland.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Duke Billon was furious in his chest, his eyes widened, as if he was about to eat people.

The commanders of the three armies were almost unscathed. At this moment, they all stood in a row in front of Duke Billon with their heads down, and they didn't dare to say anything.

"You!" Duke Billon clenched his teeth, stared at the three commanders tightly, and shouted angrily: "A few idiots! Get out of me, get out of the stormtrooper at the top of the sequence, don't let me see you again!"

Several commanders looked at each other quietly and walked out of the military tent with their heads down. They were actually very aggrieved. After all, the initial strategy was formulated by Duke Billon, and they were only responsible for the implementation. Now that such a big problem has occurred, the main responsibility is still to be counted on Duke Billon.

Of course, no one of them dared to raise this point. At this time, it would be like seeking death.
