Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 239 The strategy of the man in black
"Bang bang bang!"

In today's battles, the roar of muskets has become an essential part of the battlefield.

With the roar of muskets, unlucky men on both sides fell one after another, but no one cared about these fallen people. Everyone had long learned to turn a blind eye to them.

Only when the shells smashed people into pieces would everyone look up and silently pray that such an unfortunate fate would not befall them.

The men in black used heavily armored troops as the spearhead of the assault. These heavily armored soldiers were like galloping wild boars, trying to break through the northerners' front.

What greeted the attack of the men in black was the shield wall of the Aedian people. As the well-deserved core of the Northern Alliance, the Aedian people naturally had to protect the core of the battle line.

The assault spearhead of the Nilfgaardian army was the famous Alba Division. They held high the battle flag belonging to the division and shouted the slogan of fighting for the emperor.

Many people were very surprised by the continuation of the Alba Division.

Even if it was on the wrong side in the civil war, even if it was a direct descendant of the opposing emperor, it was still rebuilt and filled with a large number of elites.

And this was thanks to the personal nostalgia of Emperor Torres. Before he was overthrown, this army was his direct descendant. It was only after the world changed that things developed like this.

But even after so many things happened, Torres still missed this unit, so after the end of the civil war, the Alba Division was not disbanded like many units that were on the wrong side, but instead had a second spring.

At the same time, rebuilding this force also represents Emperor Torres's expectations for the Imperial Army.

Of course, the organizational system was retained, but it was just an organizational system. From top to bottom, the emperor was of course replaced by his own people.

The newly formed Alba Division was like an armored iron fist, smashing into the northerners' defense line, but the Aedirnians were also like a hard steel plate. Although they withstood the powerful blow, they were somewhat different. Bent, but still standing proudly.

Fighting between hoplites was boring and brutal.Both sides are heavily armored and difficult to kill.

Therefore, you can only keep greeting the opponent's armor, so that you can break the opponent's defense.

The other thing is to look for every possible defense loophole and pierce the sword mercilessly.

Both sides are elites, so the soldiers on the front line cannot retreat. They can only use their bodies driven by the passion of battle to fight to the last moment.

The Lord Protector of Aedirn looked at the battle in the center, his heart completely unmoved. He only cared about the progress of the front.

But now it seems that the battle here can drag on for a long time.

"Tell Lechitzki to withstand it and then find a way to move forward. Cooperate with the Levians and Kaedwens on the left and right to keep the battle line stable and push the Nilfgaardians over."

Herme's intention for this battle was very simple. The Nilfgaardians launched such a fierce assault just to defeat him, so he would let the Nilfgaardians feel the feeling of being pushed back and take advantage of the terrain of the battlefield.

As the front of the men in black is further compressed, the width of the battlefield of the men in black will become shorter and shorter, and many troops will have to squeeze together, and finally they can only retreat along the narrow passage they came from.

At this time, if the black-clothed army breaks out, the battlefield will most likely turn into a black-clothed men's collapse and escape competition, which will make it extremely convenient to hunt down.

However, the plan is a plan, and it is still very difficult to implement it.

According to Herme's order, Lechicki did organize his forces to launch an assault, but it was a pity that they did not push the Nilfgaardians in front of them.

Seeing this, the Protector's brows wrinkled, but he was not annoyed. How could the battle formation be so easy?

However, there was one thing that made the Lord Protector very angry, and that was that the Levians and Kaedwens on the left and right were advancing very smoothly, so much so that the central front line was highlighted towards his side.

Although this was a good thing, Hemei had a strong feeling that this was done intentionally by the person opposite, but Hemei had no idea what he wanted to do.

"Let the Temerians and Redanians go to the left and right flanks, and then have the cavalry ready."

"Yes!"

The attendant immediately passed on the Lord Protector's order, and then Hemei saw troops moving with lilies and white eagles, and the cavalry also raised smoke and moved forward.

Then Hemei looked at the battlefield and saw smoke and dust billowing on it. Soldiers from the north and the south were fighting together. People kept falling, but people also kept coming to take the place of the dead.

The roar of artillery and muskets sounded from time to time, mixed with the sounds of fighting and wailing, making the entire battlefield look even more cruel.

Hemei sniffed, and what came from it was the strong smell of gunpowder. He was not tired of it. He was already used to this smell.

Seeing that the current battle situation was unlikely to change, and that he had made preparations to defend against a possible enemy attack, Hemei's mind also glowed.

A battle lasts a long time, so you must learn to use some methods to pass the time instead of watching the battlefield tightly, which is really too tiring.

He couldn't help but think of the exaggerated manpower and material resources mobilized by the Northern Federation for this war.

It is no exaggeration to say that this military operation was unprecedented in the north so many years ago.

Hemei felt tired just thinking about the losses and various strange events that occurred. This was only possible with the help of a reliable staff group.Moreover, there are many problems in local governance. Even if the power is handed over to the local people, it will not be fully handed over for a while, and we still have to deal with numerous forces.

Not to mention, among the northern army going south, countless people want to gain benefits in the south, and they also have to be satisfied. If they are not given benefits, no one will be willing to come to the south to fight.

Fortunately, there are industries left by the Nilfgaardians that can be divided up, so that there will be no conflicts with the indigenous people of these countries.

And this also made Hemei realize one thing, that is, after taking the Golden Tower City, he must return to the north as soon as possible.

The southerners are now willing to fight Nilfgaard with you because of the long-standing hatred and the interests that can be divided.

When Nilfgaard is over and the interests are divided, they will definitely regard the Northern Federation as the new Nilfgaard, and then there will be a lot of trouble again.

Then, he also admired the Nilfgaardian army even more before the three northern wars. Despite such great losses and pressure, they were able to defeat the enemy. This was far beyond what the men in black could compare to today.

Herme knew clearly that if the current Nilfgaardian army was still the same as before, then he would not have the idea of ​​going south.

As the Protector's thinking became more and more divergent, the battlefield ahead also changed.

The offensive progress of the northerners on the left and right wings was too fast, and their footing was unstable, so that the Nilfgaardians seized the opportunity.

With the sudden influx of Nilfgaardian cavalry, which had been invisible since the beginning of the battle, and when the northerners relaxed due to continuous victories, the men in black opened up the battle.

"Your Majesty the Queen, this is impossible, please don't come forward again!"

After kicking down the Nilfgaardian cavalry who rushed up in front of him, Odo quickly said to Miwe.

Miwei was covered in blood at the moment, and she was holding a warhammer dripping red and white liquid in her hand. Her armor was also full of pits, which showed how thrilling the battle Her Majesty had gone through.

Meve did not have Riodor, her eyes were focused on the battle in front of her, watching the continuous influx of Nilfgaardian cavalry.

When the Nilfgaardians finally retreated, Miwe thought that victory was finally coming, and that the north-south struggle that had lasted for more than ten years was finally coming to an end.

But the next thing that rushed out from the retreat of the Nilfgaardians was a huge number of black cavalry, which directly overwhelmed their battle line.

Mi Wei was fighting fiercely on the front line just now, opening the heads of men in black one after another.

Miwe thought about the last time she faced the Nilfgaardians and almost failed. If it weren't for the sudden attack of the demon hunter, she would have failed. This made her furious and swung her sword harder.

But unfortunately, she alone cannot change the situation of the war.

During the melee, her shoulder was pierced by Nilfgaard's lance, but she was simply bandaged and continued fighting.

The Livia soldiers were exhausted from the long battle. They relied on the expectation of victory to persist, but now this expectation was directly exposed.

Now that the breath is broken, it is obvious what happens next.

However, because of Miwei's location, the Rivia people still fought to the death for their beloved queen.

But the rout was still unstoppable.

Just when Miwei was about to rush to the battlefield again and have a fierce battle with the black-clad army, Prince Wilm came over. This prince was now covered in blood.

Like his mother, Wilm is also fighting on the front line. Wilm's heroic fighting figure inspired many people.

Wilm and Odo exchanged a look, and both of them understood what was going on.

And then, they reached a consensus.

"Mother, please wait."

Wilm stopped his mother, and then came behind her. Miwe also stopped, waiting for his son.

What Miwei didn't expect was that Wilm waved to the guards who followed him, and then the guards held Miwei up.

"Mother, you have been injured. Now is the time to gather the troops instead of fighting to the death. You don't have to fight desperately. Leave the rest to me."

Before his mother started to scold him angrily, Wilm blocked her mouth and asked the guards to take her away.

Odo gave him a look of thanks and followed immediately, while Wilm began to gather the troops.

Mother was obviously a little irrational before, but now the correct strategy should be to gather combat power. Livia and her family are not the only ones on the battlefield, and there is also a reserve team behind them.
