Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 105 Dumplings…

The galloping and roaring unicorn spouts a thick white mist and advances forward. The thick leather makes it have a natural unbreakable armor, and with the extremely hard and thick horns on the top of the head, it looks like an ancient giant beast. , when thousands of unicorns run up, even any unprepared army cannot withstand the impact.

Beckerey's eyes are burning like a torch. The speed of the armored beast is getting faster and faster, and has reached its peak. The speed of the armored beast is much slower than that of the heavy cavalry, but the impact force of each armored beast is stronger than that of the heavy cavalry. Many hoplites could stand up to cataphracts, but they crumbled from the bottom of their hearts at such an inhuman shock.

Five thousand unicorns hit the southern flank of the Pool people like a huge hammer without any cover. Wan didn't expect that the defense line on the south wing, which he thought was quite thick, would be broken through so easily by the opponent.

The more than 60,000 armored cavalry behind the unicorn frantically tore apart the cracks broken by the armored beasts like mercury pouring down the ground, and continued to use the advantage of having been shattered by the armored beasts to expand the defense line of the Puer infantry The gap, along the edge of the gap, continuously devoured the infantry phalanxes that had been shaken by the surging Tang army.

General Duke Poole, who was in charge of the southern defense line, found that he could no longer control the army in his hands. In fact, the impact brought by the armored beast was not irreversible. It is also quite limited, although infantry cannot withstand the impact formation charge composed of such behemoths. But clenching his teeth and resisting hard to create opportunities for the follow-up troops is not irresistible. At this time, Duke can only regret why he didn't think carefully, and Datang dared to concentrate heavy cavalry to launch an offensive against Poole.

Cui Wenxiu's first wave of offensive tore through the defense line of the Puer people's south flank, but Duke is not just a fledgling. While decisively using the supervisory team to force several phalanxes to hold back the breakthrough of Datang's heavy cavalry force, Duke also quietly ordered the rest of the infantry to retreat. Jumagou should be the best way to deal with these heavy cavalry forces. Means, at this time, Duke is also thankful that he was still wise at the time, and the Juma Ditch dug according to the usual practice has won a little respite for the entire southern defense line at this time.

However, Cui Wenxiu's offensive has never been a single wave of attack. When the heavy cavalry has taken the lead, the follow-up infantry and rangers have already followed closely. Bogey, since the enemy line of defense on the southern wing has been torn apart. Greatly hit the morale of the Puer people, so they must not relax. The Third Army did not give the Puer army much time to breathe, and they overtook the heavy cavalry and swooped in. The defensive group on the South Wing of Purer, who was awake, was once again caught in the charge of the Third Army, known as one of the three main forces of the Tang Army.

The offensive of the Third Army slapped the crumbling defense line of Poole's army's southern flank like a tidal wave. Long himself even sits on the front line himself, commanding a division-based attack wave to attack the Puer army's line that has not yet recovered its vitality. Jumagou is a fatal obstacle to the cavalry, but it is useless to the infantry , while launching a charge. The logistics troops also quickly caught up to fill up the Juma trenches, preparing for the next wave of heavy cavalry charge.

But Long Ziwu didn't intend to leave this feat to his cavalry colleagues, after encountering heavy blows from heavy cavalry and armored beasts. The morale of Poole's southern wing group suffered a serious setback. Although Duke's full encouragement and encouragement were used to block the impact of the Tang Army's heavy cavalry with the help of Jumagou, the Tang Army's Third Army that followed caused Poole's army to fall into a trap again. In the **** battle. The soldiers of the Third Legion who came here with unparalleled momentum have already been suffocated by the long-term rest. Just as their legion commander said, this may be a battle for the survival of the empire, or it may be the last battle after the establishment of the empire. , After this battle is over, it may be difficult for the Third Army to encounter such an enjoyable job, and it must firmly grasp this opportunity. Adds a brighter sheen to the honor of the Third Legion.

Like the sea tide, the First Division of the Third Army took the lead in breaking through the eastern defense line. Ji Yanming, the First Division led by Yan Tong, was determined. Facing the dying struggle of the Puer Army, he did not give the opponent the slightest chance. As soon as the breakthrough was made, he devoted all his troops to tearing up and expanding the gap. Although the Puer army, whose fighting spirit was weakened, was not defeated, but the steady retreat turned into a large-scale retreat. Long Zi, who sensed this opportunity, naturally would not give up. With such a good opportunity, the third army's breakthrough quickly spread to the entire southern defense line. The collapse of one section after another made Duke completely unable to control the situation. He could only let his most elite 30,000 people retreat in turn to build a defense line and stick to it. In order to prevent the entire southern defense line from collapsing, the only thing to do is to notify the colleagues on the western front and at the same time alert the coach Schiller on the eastern front for help.

Schiller never expected that the arc-shaped defense line he thought was quite strong would be broken through by his opponent within a day. He formed an arc-shaped formation like a bow, and implemented tactical defense against the north, south, and west sides. Concentrating forces to attack and break through the Eastern Front, the Dotons have already contacted them, and the two sides have also determined the strategy of opening up the central corridor to achieve rendezvous. The task before them is how to remove the blocking stone of the Second Army of the Tang Army. He has concentrated all his armored cavalry forces to implement this strategy, and I believe the Dorton people are the same. Even if the second army of the Tang army in front of him is a piece of refined steel, he will thoroughly refine it. The defeat on the southern front had already sounded an ominous alarm for Schiller. Without much thought, Schiller ordered the defensive forces on the western and northern fronts to move closer to the center, and at the same time ordered the western front to reinforce the southern front to prevent the Tang army from attacking. Get inside. Now there is almost no other way to save our own side that is in crisis except for Xiangzhao breakthrough and rendezvous with the Dorton people.

Of course Schiller also knows that Tang Jun wants to come from the south

It is not easy to break through on the southern front. As long as the troops on the western and northern fronts shrink, although they have less room for manoeuvre, their resistance will be stronger. The Poole army in a group can respond more effectively. , The more than 300,000 troops are not something that the Tang army can eat in one bite. The purpose of the Tang army is to choose a suitable place to carry out a breakthrough, causing chaos on its own side, taking advantage of the chaos to implement a swallowing strategy, and annihilating its own army in chaos one bite at a time. Time, the key issue now is time. I need time to defeat the second army of the Tang army on the opposite side. With more than 100,000 troops, if Tang Jun wants to bite down, he has to be careful to burst his own stomach.

In fact, Cui Wenxiu also knew that the Dumpling Campaign he carried out was a bit risky from a strategic point of view. With more than 300,000 Poole troops, he only had a slight advantage in controlling the troops. The only trump card was the concentration of heavy cavalry forces. Break through and take advantage of the psychology of the Poole army wanting to join the Dotons eastward, otherwise once this battle enters a tug-of-war, he will have to face the outflanking counterattack of the Dotons who have come back to their senses.

Duke decisively abandoned the tens of thousands of Poole infantry who had been broken into formation and adopted a step-by-step retreat strategy to make Long Zi realize that the generals in Poole's army were not weak. The Third Army hoped to take advantage of the chaos in one fell swoop The purpose of breaking into the enemy's interior and disrupting the battle situation was not fully achieved. Fortunately, the number of Puer's army defeated by taking advantage of the situation was also quite large, and it was considered to have barely achieved some goals. If it wasn't for the fast-response reinforcements from the Pursi Line to stabilize its position, the Third Army could use the superior force in its hands and the re-pressed heavy cavalry to completely eat up the entire Purnan Line in one fell swoop.

The front line after a day of fierce fighting finally calmed down. Both the Poole Army and the Tang Army need some time to rest and adjust after going through rounds of fierce battles. At the same time, the leaders of both sides also need to consider the next strategy. how to implement.

Frowning deeply, Cui Wenxiu stood at the gate of the camp with his hands behind his back. In addition to the scout cavalry running like flying on the ground and the infantry phalanx who were returning to camp, the heavy cavalry also began to gather. Swim and harass in front of the camp to prevent the enemy from re-digging the Juma trench at night. The armored beast trampled the front position into a mess, and while people were screaming, the armored beasts were also regrouping to prepare for tomorrow's battle arrangements.

"On my own, it seems that we have underestimated the tenacity of the Poole people in this battle. We originally wanted to use the southern line to break into the Poole army's inside line in one fell swoop. Hehe, I didn't expect that Duke to have some vision and determination. He killed tens of thousands of stragglers in one breath, alas, the old guy Schiller reacted fast enough, and the reinforcements from the western front came so quickly, it seems that God will not help us." Cui Wenxiu sighed, such a The situation turned out to be a little different from the original expectation. The enemy retreated quickly on the western front. If the troops on the northern front were also so fast, then he would have to face a dumpling that was too big. It would be difficult to swallow it in one bite, especially In tight time situations.

"Well, it's a bit troublesome. It seems that we have to change our strategy a little bit. We can't swallow it in one bite. Then can we tear up this dumpling and choose the delicious one?" Long stroked his hand gently under his jaw He said while pondering. Jiangshan Beauty Chronicle, Chapter 3, Sweeping Liuhe, Chapter 2, Iron Horse and Glacier, Section 105, Making Dumplings (3)
