Power and Empire Chapter 445: Vicia’s counterattack (7)
445 Vicky's counterattack (7)
The Marquis of Swadian Winneren was shocked when the report of "the former corps was ambushed" came. (Read novel)
On the hills on both sides of the front, it was still peaceful and pleasant just now. In a blink of an eye, countless black spots suddenly appeared, and the range quickly expanded. Seeing this scene, Wen Nalun couldn't help feeling frightened and dry mouth.
"What's the matter?" Wen Nalun muttered to himself as he straightened up on the horse. "Where did these Vikings come from? What are they thinking of?"
He was a little baffled by the situation before him. He never expected that the enemy army who was copied by the three breads would really take such a bold and fierce offensive regardless of the danger of being attacked by two sides.
According to their original speculation, the Vikya people in a situation of being surrounded, facing many enemies, should devote themselves to defense and reduce the front line into a dense formation.
The Swadian army is advancing in three directions at the same time, laying a net of heaven and earth, concentrating its forces, slowly and accurately consuming the enemy's resistance.
This is the most typical offensive and defensive situation. There used to be many outstanding celebrities who became famous in such a battle, and their achievements are still praised. However, this time the enemy did not fall into the Swadian urn.
"What the hell? The commander of the enemy army doesn't know how to use soldiers. How can there be such a style of play?" Watching the dense rain of arrows on both sides of the hill cut his troops into two, Wen Nalun unconsciously Saying these stupid things, the situation in front of you is too weird
The long marching line allows the soldiers of the Winneren Army to avoid the danger of being annihilated. The Vikingians seem to be interested in the 10,000 forwards in the front, far more than the 20,000 main forces in the back. There are countless arrowheads. It smashed on the heads of the troops in front like a torrential rain, and the soldiers behind became spectators.
"This is too unreasonable," Wen Nalun murmured in a low voice, "What do you do, your lord?" The adjutant's request also seemed a little impetuous.
This tone violently affects every nerve in Wen Na Lun. Wen Na Lun glared at this adjutant who likes to ask questions at untimely times.
In fact, when the plan to encircle the three armies was put forward at the meeting, the second-line light infantry Wenneren regiment was firmly opposed. Among the three troops, his 30,000 light infantry combat effectiveness was the weakest, and the three armies dispersed their attacks. For the other two legions, it is an extremely favorable opportunity for meritorious service, but for his Winneren legion, if they encounter 40,000 warriors who are capable of fighting, they will only be beaten.
But the other two army commanders still did not hesitate his feelings and set the situation of the three armies, not only hoped to get rid of his "oil bottle", but also let him be a bait suspicion,
Wennaren is not a fool. He knows very well that if the Vikya people are about to die, they will definitely choose their relatively weak legion as a breakthrough.
"I am a decoy" For this decision, Wen Nalun was both angry and helpless, but his opposition seemed so pale and weak in front of the other two powerful commanders.
The eager Marquis of Willy Lay almost ignored the second-line legion commander with only one baron title. He just murmured a few words with the Kurd next to him, and set the tone of the meeting from the discussion of the strategic layout. The three armies encircle,
Under the suppression of the two military leaders, Winneren, who had a low title and status, could only choose to accept it. Even in order to prevent the decoy of the Winneren Legion from not executing as planned, the Marquis of Willier The cronies are all sent to Wen Nalun.
Looking at the flustered adjutant next to him, Wen Nalun wanted to kick this aristocratic assistant who could only shout loudly to death,
Isn’t that the one who sang in three directions and is sure to win the victory? Isn’t that your master? So, when facing failure now, of course, you should also take the responsibility. It is only when you come up with countermeasures that you can't think that you dare to ask me "what to do" now. However, this is not the time to be angry.
The current situation really shocked Wen Nalun. The Swadian army encircled this time was 80,000, of which 20,000 were elite cavalry with excellent mobility and combat effectiveness, while the Vijaya army had only 40,000.
Completely different from what was originally expected, the whole situation was completely messed up. The Vijaya army did not rush from the front as expected. Instead, it should be the direction of the friendly army’s path from both sides.
This is incredible. Are the other two troops already finished? This sudden thought made Wen Nalun, who has always been known for his calmness and stability, also felt cold behind his back.
It was originally intended to surround and annihilate 40,000 enemy forces with the 80,000 superior army of the three legions. Now the situation has changed, but the enemy has emerged from where it should be a friendly army. The weak Winneren Legion 3 Ten thousand people have to fight alone against an enemy force that is almost double the number
"No", Wen Nalun had a keen eye, and soon discovered that the Vijaya troops on both sides of the hill were under-represented. Although it looked like arrows were flying, there were a large number of dense swathes, but if you look closely, you will find that Vijaya's army The attack intensity is far from insufficient,
"It seems that the loss of the Vikings is not small." Wen Nalun can feel that the Vikings on both sides of him will definitely not exceed 20,000 people
"Emergency contact with the second and sixth squadrons in the middle and choose the weaker enemy on the left to assault other squadrons to gather in the main army formation"
Venalen commanded loudly that he was different from other Swadian army captains. He did not have a distinguished background and noble blood. He was a mercenary who had joined the Swadian army with Marshal Burrant. ,
With countless **** battles, he climbed from the humble soldier to the current baron's position. If it weren't for his origin, he might have already become a Swadian general, and his keen observation of the battlefield has been integrated into his In the blood
"It's an adult," the adjutant shouted, but his actions and expressions were full of despair. He swayed from side to side, but didn't know what to do. The Vijaya army suddenly violently attacked and brought this great nobleman into being. The adjutant who has been working as a rear staff member was terrified,
He has never been on the front line of the battlefield. He has never seen people die like this. Pieces of fallen corpses are under the arrow of a torrential rain, like a harvested wheat field.
The miserable howl and the arrogantly rushing soldiers queue left him at a loss,
This is the battlefield where a sense of powerlessness spreads in his heart. The surrounding scenes make him feel like he is in hell. The strategic ideas and calculations that were only on the parchment scroll before are not just monotonous numbers. They are real life and blood
"What are you doing in a daze, immediately send four teams of cavalry to contact the second and sixth squadrons" Wen Nalun shouted vigorously to the pale adjutant next to him,
If it wasn't for this fool's background, Wen Nalun would have cut him with a knife,
Aristocrats with military merits like this are everywhere in the Swadian army. This is a malformed product of the combination of the chivalry system and the noble system
The two squadrons that received the order of "Assault" launched a charge along the left side of the hill towards the Vijaya army on the hill,
They raised the light shields in their hands to face the arrowheads. The hills on both sides were not high. Although the shields hit by the arrowheads banged and slammed, their companions were constantly shot to the ground. The Swadian army platooned. The long line of Cheng still rushed up halfway up the mountain, like waves rolling upwards, one arrow rain shattered in front, and the other came up from behind
"My lord, we are not strong enough." The messenger who asked for help kept running from the front. In addition to the 10,000 forwards who were suppressed in the pass, there were also 2 main squadrons, nearly 8,000 assault troops fighting on the slopes of the hills. ,
The Vikings above have discovered their attempt. The attack that originally suppressed the forwards instantly fell on the heads of 5,000 people, and the two squadrons were suppressed on the mountainside and dared not move
"The Swadian Army was found on the hill on the right of your lord." At the same time, Crolithat on the hill received a report from the scout, and the Swadian Army, which had passed by, began to encounter an ambush. He moved in the direction of the Winneren Army, obviously attracted by the situation here
"My lord, since the fish has already taken the bait, let's order to do it here," a head of the Vijaya banner said beside Crolithat, with a smirk in his impatient voice
"Hererit is here for you." Crolithat looked at the Swadian army on the mountainside, nodded to the leader of the banner, and brought the guards behind him to the distance Run to the hill
"Huo Huo" Wen Na Lun heard a messy yell in front of him, "What's the matter?" He turned around angrily,
The flashes of "bump" made his face pale. The enemy began to launch a final attack. With a volley of arrows, the intensity of the attack was much stronger in an instant.
One by one, the flaming **** were pushed down from the **** on the left by the Vekias. The fireballs dragged a trail of burning flames on the hilly slopes, and the radiated heat and flames expanded, followed by The resulting light illuminates half of the sky,
"Damn I was fooled." Wen Nalun's face flushed and clenched five fingers. Under the suppression of the arrow clusters and fireballs on both sides, the two squadrons on the mountainside were completely in desperation. There was a trap on the left. My own judgment was not wrong. I don’t know why. The Vicia army was indeed under-represented in this ambush, but they designed a clever trap to even out the advantages of both sides.
"My lord, this is the full set. We will die, everyone will die. Let's retreat." The adjutant's crying request sounded in Wen Nalun's ear.
"Retreat, do you want me to leave these 10,000 brothers and run away alone?" Wen Nalun gave him a vicious look, and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. The horse whip in his hand turned into a phantom,
The crisp sound of the horse whip and the scream of the adjutant sounded at the same time~IndoMTL.com~This timid nobleman rolled off his horse
"The second squadron, the seventh squadron is pushed up. No matter what, the others must be rescued" Wen Nalun yelled to the messenger behind him, waving a **** whip.
"Stop" Swadian's 13th Army Commander, Marquis Willila, violently reined his restless war horse and waved to the cavalry group following him,
His brown eyes swept across a hill in the distance. Through his direction, he could see the top of the hill in front. In the morning mist that had not yet completely dispersed, countless dark shadows appeared, densely packed. Blockbuster.
"Attention may be the Vekias" Marquis Willila's voice is dignified. After knowing the tragic ending of the Kurdish cavalry army, his enthusiasm for competing with the Vekias has diminished a lot. , But the fighting spirit is getting stronger
"Order the whole army to press on, we will crush the Vikya people together with the Winneren Legion." Willila looked at the red sky, and the sound of fighting from the other side of the hill.
Yelling and drew out his saber, the red cloak behind him was blown by the bursting wind, like a battle flag flying in the air.
