Chapter 168 The Last Battle

General John raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes were blurred and complicated.

In front of him is the canyon called Horseshoe, which is also the last of the eight levels that Franky said.As long as they pass through the Horseshoe Canyon, the Aberdeen soldiers who went out can return to their hometown.

After many hardships, the Aberdeen army finally came here.Recalling the twists and turns along the way, General John felt a sense of unreality like a dream.

When he set off in Aberdeen and led tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to embark on the journey, he never expected that things would develop into the current situation.

In his mind, the Taranto rebels will rely on the city to resist stubbornly, or they may take the initiative to attack, line up troops, and have a hearty battle with the Aberdeen army.

There may be a little accident, a small situation.The Kokis thief might be up to some tricks to get himself into trouble.But under his wise command, all of this can only be a dream in the water, adding a little extra talk to this already doomed counter-insurgency war, but it can't stop the rolling iron hooves of his army.

But the appearance of that nasty Riga man made everything deviate from the original track, and a good dream turned into a nightmare in an instant.

Well, after many hardships, I finally came to this step.Overcome the last hurdle, return to Aberdeen Province, and then hand everything back to the Duke for decision.

Originally, I wanted to lead the brothers to make contributions and win fame.But now, not only did he fail to obtain meritorious service, but some old partners and buddies left him forever.

There is also the magician unit in the army, which lost dozens of people at once, which is close to [-]% of the total number.General John didn't know how to explain to the Grand Duke Edwards when he went back.

Sorry for the first time!
If I had listened to Anthony's words at that time, and acted decisively as he said, maybe the situation of the battle would be completely different, and the following things would not have happened.

But the high-end combat power of the magician is so precious, the loss of any one will make the commander feel distressed for a long time.Of course, you have to be careful when using it. Is this also wrong?
The damned Frankie, who obviously lost very few magicians, misled himself by various means, making himself think that the magician army in Taranto was no longer a threat.After his vigilance was relaxed, his shameless sneak attack finally succeeded.

The menacing Aberdeen magician troop has been greatly reduced. It originally had an advantage over Taranto in terms of magical power, but now the situation is completely reversed.

The use of magicians is flexible and powerful, and the more capable they are under the command of a commander, the more effective they will be.When Aberdeen's magical power had the upper hand, General John could not take advantage of it.Now that the advantage has passed to Franky, General John only feels terrified, and has no confidence at all to deal with the various methods that the opponent will emerge in the next one.

If Anthony can stand up again and create a chance for the Aberdeen army to win, he will definitely obey his words this time and do exactly what he said.

pity……

Hey~
Anthony, who was concerned by General John, was standing on a certain high ground, carefully observing the opposite Horseshoe Canyon, as well as the large number of fortifications built according to the terrain.

Standing on his left are Princess Yalena and Caton Juggernaut.And on his right is Xu Feng, nicknamed the madman among the "Four Heroes of the Southern Union".

As Tang Feng and his "rookie army" continued to improve their status and role in the Aberdeen Army, General John valued him more and more.Now, like the chief officers of other main combat units in the army, he has endless military affairs all day long.It is no longer possible to sneak out to discuss or chat with Anthony from time to time as before.

On the other hand, the tactful middle-aged man Lin Zhifeng, who logically shouldn't have any affairs to deal with, disappeared at this time for some reason.

The terrain of Horseshoe Canyon is quite dangerous. If the Aberdeen soldiers want to break through, they may have to go through a series of hard fights.

This is already the eighth line of defense and checkpoint. If Frankie has any plans, it is likely to be displayed here.

Anthony watched quietly, his sword-like eyebrows gradually frowned.

The location here is too good and too dangerous, it is a good choice to set up an ambush for a sneak attack.But because of the favorable geographical conditions, Anthony felt that it was unlikely that Franky would launch here.

Marching or fighting in such a geographical environment, anyone will be vigilant, and it is absolutely impossible to act rashly at will.

In this way, if Frankie lays out an ambush in this valley, it is almost impossible to escape the reconnaissance and search of the Aberdeen army.Conspiracy and trap will eventually turn into a face-to-face confrontation.It may not be difficult to resist the attack of the Aberdeen army, but it is unlikely to be able to defeat and annihilate it in turn.

When you already have a definite guess in your mind, and then verify each other with various clues in turn, it becomes very easy to confirm whether the guess is correct.

Along the way, through careful observation, Anthony became more and more sure of Franky's plans and schemes.

Helplessly, even if the enemy's purpose is guessed, it does not make much sense to change the situation facing the Aberdeen army.

If you tell this to General John, he will either not believe it: just rely on those soldiers in Taranto?With that ability, they don't have to hide behind fortifications all the time.Or just scoff: Of course they want to swallow us up, and they want to conquer the entire Glorious Empire!
Unless you can see through Franky's entire execution plan and carry out targeted sabotage and counterattack.Otherwise, you can only raise your vigilance in your heart and be vigilant secretly.

As for repeating the old tricks, as General John expected, Anthony didn't even think about it.

The last time was taken advantage of by surprise, and the situation at that time was extremely urgent for Taranto, Frankie's hasty response inevitably made some omissions.

Even so, the well-prepared Anthony was still beaten very embarrassingly with all kinds of magic weapons.

With lessons learned from the past, if Frankie does not make targeted arrangements for this and plug the loopholes, then he will be one of the few famous generals in the mainland.

Although the Taranto magician troops had made a full-scale attack that time, it was only the so-called "full force" in a relatively hasty situation at that time, and it was not a true manifestation of their full strength.Because Anthony would not foolishly wait for them to attack. If the preparation time for the magic was long, when they released their strongest blow, Anthony might have run away without a trace.

If preparations were made in advance, the magician of Taranto could unleash his trump card to his heart's content, and the magic wave formed by this would be at least [-]% more powerful than last time.Even with Anthony's courage, he didn't dare to try himself.

That's not adventure, but death!

Without the intervention and intervention of top martial arts masters, this offensive and defensive battle will be back on track.In other words, the fighters of Aberdeen need to use their flesh and blood to smash open the solid defense line of Taranto.

Looking at the steep terrain of Horseshoe Canyon, Anthony frowned tightly.

……

On August 8, fighting broke out again between the Aberdeen and Taranto armies in front of the Horseshoe Canyon near Burgundy, northeast of Taranto.

Aberdeen didn't try it out, and just swung its troops forward.

We have played back and forth so many times, and we know each other well.Which army is strong and which army is weak, which type of fortification is too large, and which type of fortification is difficult to crack, all are clear from soldiers to officers.

How to fight more smoothly, do more damage to the enemy, and protect themselves better. The soldiers who have survived until now and can still rush to the battlefield have summed up and figured out the most suitable fighting method for them, directly waving the weapons in their hands Just rush forward, there is no need for any temptation.

All of a sudden, the drums were beating and the flags were flying, and the battle had reached its climax from the very beginning.

The soldiers of Aberdeen went to war according to the order to quell the rebellion in the empire, occupying the name of righteousness.The road after Canada was attacked, and the homeland was ignited by the flames of war. The soldiers were anxious to return to their hometown.

These Taranto rebels didn't know good from bad, and they didn't bother them themselves. Instead, they took the initiative to find them and stop them. The two sides fought and fled for several months, and Aberdeen was already furious.Now that success was in sight, the flames that had been suppressed and accumulated in his heart erupted all of a sudden, turning into a fierce attack and directly attacking the opponent.

The fighters of Taranto were also not to be outdone.

In any case, their charges of betraying the empire have been confirmed, and there is only one way to go to the dark, and there is no possibility of turning back.Moreover, under the command of the famous general of Riga, the army exploded with unimaginable combat effectiveness, and they fought brilliantly against the opponents they could only look up to before.

With all-or-nothing ruthlessness, the confidence accumulated in successive battles, and the effective command and dispatch from the top, the fighting spirit of these desperadoes burst out in an instant, surpassing or even worse than their enemies.

Both sides are high-spirited, and each has its own reasons for winning.There is nothing to say about that, I can only use the sword in my hand to win or lose.

From the dawn of the day, Aberdeen's troops left the camp one by one and drove to the front of the Taranto rebels.

The battle was extremely intense.

The soldiers of Aberdeen rushed forward one after another.When a soldier falls, comrades behind him immediately fill his vacancy.A Taranto soldier had just chopped off his opponent's head, and before he could take back the long knife he swung, a long spear protruded from the slanting stab, stretched out its fangs like a poisonous snake, and pierced his throat in an instant.

With the flurry of swords and the flying of thousands of arrows, the Horseshoe Canyon seemed to have become a chilling grindstone for flesh and blood, grinding the limbs, bodies and heads of the soldiers on both sides, as well as the swords in their hands and the armor on their bodies.On this not-so-broad land, pieces of broken sword remnants were scattered, and a viscous dark red liquid flowed.

The sun hanging high in the sky seemed unwilling to see this bloody and cruel scene, and quietly pulled a piece of cloud, hiding his whole body behind the thick cloud.

The frenzied fighting lasted until noon. General John dispatched troops, and according to the situation on the battlefield, he rotated the troops dispatched to the front line of the battle, exerting heavy pressure on the Taranto front line without stopping.

Under the violent attack of the Aberdeen soldiers, Taranto's fortifications have been damaged to a certain extent, but they are still as immovable as a mountain, stubbornly blocking the Aberdeen army.

General John watched the battle ahead nervously, but there was no look of anxiety or disappointment on his face.

This is the last level and the last battle, and its difficulty is far more than the previous battles.He was mentally prepared for this.

The stalemate in the battle situation in front of him did not exceed his expectations.As long as you stay calm and deal with it carefully, the victory will ultimately belong to Aberdeen.

General John was convinced of this.

Suddenly, there was a cannon shot in the opponent's formation.

The sound of the cannon seemed to be a signal, and a certain section of Taranto's defense line opened automatically in response.Immediately, ferocious and terrifying steel monsters drilled out of it.

That is a heavy cavalry unit!
