Chapter 28, Arrow of Vengeance

.War starts, shoot the arrow of revenge towards the enemy! Only blood can wash away my resentment!

~~~~~~~~

On January 7, 999, the Empire Era, heavy snow.

Sean 226, the centurion of the Third Infantry Regiment of the Western Allied Forces, the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Saxon Kingdom; Henry, with his own squad of 100 people, walked on the wasteland near Roland, the capital of the northwestern province of the Empire.

The snow had been falling for three consecutive days, but there was still no sign of weakening at this moment. The howling northwest wind blew through the empty fields, piercing into the tight gaps of the Western Alliance's already wrapped clothes like a needle.

This time, when Western countries chose this time to go to the east, they had already prepared cotton coats for winter, but compared to the northwest wind of the Han Empire, even the thickest cotton coats seemed so thin.

"Why did you leave us here? You also said that this is the pearl of the northwest of the empire, which is extremely rich and frozen to death." A Saxon soldier complained.

"Shut up! This is Lord Siston's decision. What are you upset?" Sean 226; Henry stopped drinking.

"But sir, why can Xiao Doni and the others follow the army and continue to advance and get benefits all the way, so we have to guard here?" the soldier muttered.

"We are soldiers, and even knights. The sacred pope is above us. We cannot complain." Strictly speaking, Sean 226; Henry is indeed a devout believer, and even a qualified knight.

"But we are not knights..." the soldier muttered in a smaller voice...

And his words resonated with many soldiers.

Sean 226; Henry heard these complaints but said nothing. After all, he was actually a little angry and dissatisfied with being left behind and besieged Loulan City.

This time the Saxon Kingdom participated in the Eastern Expedition, but Sean 226; Henry was deeply worried about the church's recruitment of a large number of tenants and criminals into the army. How could these people fight?

As a combat-capable and supreme sense of responsibility, Sean 226; Henry, a glorious knight, was left behind?

"Is it just because I am not a longbowman? We glorious knights are not as good as those guys who can only shoot cold arrows?" Sean 226; Henry was very depressed. He longed to prove his courage through iron and blood on the battlefield, and surprised those who looked down on the Saxon infantry.

But, in fact, Sean 226; Henry himself knew that although there were only 70,000 Saxon Legion participating in the Eastern Expedition of the Han Empire, and Sean 226; Henry's infantry regiment occupied more than two-thirds, and the entire five full-formed legions seemed to be a group that was valued.

In fact, in the Saxon Kingdom, and even in the entire Western Continent, when people mention Saxon's army, the first thing they think of is those longbowers holding longbows and full of arrogant faces.

As for infantry? The Saxon infantry may be a little better than the timid Rodans, but in the eyes of the Gauls and Teutonics, it is simply pediatric.

This time, according to the arrangement of the Western Alliance Command, countries were required to mobilize elite forces to stay in the siege, striving to break through the largest barrier in the northwest of the empire within ten days, and laying a solid foundation for the entire Western Alliance's retreat.

But, anyone knows that this is a thankless thing.

Although Loulan City is more than a hundred miles away from the mainland highway, it is the political and military center of the Han Empire northwest. It is stationed here. The Flying Cavalry Legion (formerly the Western Expedition Legion), one of the top ten empires, has a force of up to 50,000. Although before the Western Allied Forces advanced eastward, relying on the arrangement of commander Jose, they ordered people to pretend to be the Han army to deceive the city, create chaos in the city, kill a large number of the Han army's living forces, and break through the outer city, the remaining nearly 30,000 Han soldiers rely on the inner city to resist the head. According to the experience of the Han soldiers in Longcheng who would rather die than surrender, it is definitely not so easy to eat.

Second, the bitter and cold land in the northwest is not a rich place, and even if it breaks through the inner city, it will not be much profitable. Therefore, these ordinary Western coalition soldiers who came to make a fortune naturally refused to do their best.

Therefore, the originally agreed plan to use the elite troops of his army to attack Loulan City became a good opportunity for countries to take the opportunity to get rid of their burdens. For example, the Saxon Kingdom simply left three infantry regiments that had been destroyed under Longcheng at Loulan City, and only two fully organized infantry regiments and two fully organized long archer regiments followed the army.

If it weren't for the large number, I'm afraid the coalition commander Jose would have directly found fault.

And other countries are like this. Jose in the Kingdom of Falls and Bergman in the Principal of Teutonicity, the chief and deputy commanders of the two coalition forces, left behind a 10,000-person Gaul Light Cavalry regiment and a 10,000-person Teutonic heavy infantry regiment. They were considered the elites of the remaining army, but more elites were taken away by them.

However, the total number of Western coalition forces left to besiege Loulan City was quite large, reaching nearly 100,000 people.

There were more than 200,000 people following Jose's army, and those more than 200,000 people were all demons who passed the test of war in Longcheng...

Therefore, the depressed Sean 226; Henry, while suppressing the dissatisfaction of the troops, he also had to walk on the snowy wasteland with his infinite desire for making achievements.

I fell into one footprint at a time, and took a deep breath...

In front is a bush. As usual, when patrol and marching here, you can turn around and walk back.

"The back team becomes the front team, turn around!" Sean 226; Henry ordered.

"I can finally go back, this ghost weather!" A Saxon soldier cheered. Even Sean relaxed his expression and did not stop the soldiers' cheers. After all, no one likes to walk in the wind and snow for a long time.

Moreover, the Han army over the past few hundred miles had long been wiped out by the army led by Lord Jose, and it did not pose a threat to them at all.

"Billy, which Han girl you have allocated to you would give me warmth tonight?" said another Saxon soldier.

"The three Han Empires' gold coins!" The soldier who had cheered before stretched out his finger and shook.

"Why don't you go and rob? That woman has been fucked by all the people in your team. I still want three gold coins from the Han Empire? I don't even have three silver coins. In this way, if you can, you can take the woman to my tent after you go back!" The soldier said with a smile.

"Trade!" Biley clapped the soldier.

However, the hand quickly became as stiff as a sculpture in the wind and snow. The next moment, a feather arrow, with anger, pierced into Billy's armor, but his eyes were not protected. It was accurate and cruel enough!

Then, a dense rain of arrows shot up, and a group of Saxon infantrymen turned over.

"Set up a shield and form a formation!" Sean 226; Henry shouted loudly.

But the next moment, his roar was blocked and frozen in the cold air by a feather arrow.
