Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 80 Great Battle (One Eleven)
Xueshui River originates from the eastern foot of Jiming Mountain in the south of Pinglu Prefecture. It is named after several large caves with springs gushing like columns in the source of the mountains. The water volume is extremely rich. When jumping out of the Jiming mountain area, several streams of different sizes flow in, and the water volume increases greatly. It goes eastward along the southern part of Pinglu and then flows into the Fanjiang River, which is an important tributary of the Fanjiang River.
Although the southern part of Pinglu is dominated by plains, there are many ravines that divide the entire great plain into many broken small plains. In contrast, the cave water valley due to drought this year seems to be very conducive to the march of most troops. Therefore, the Kaman people chose to go west along the Cave River. Due to the drought in the eastern continent this year, the flow of the Cave River was much smaller than in previous years, even less than a quarter of the original water volume. In addition to the large area of wasteland that was vacated when the first river flooded, the terrain is quite flat. After being exposed to the sun, the mud floor is hardened. This area along the river has also become the best route for the army to march on a large scale.
The Kaman people took a fancy to this and arbitrarily believed that the Northwest Army would not dare to go out of the city to fight when they were at an absolute disadvantage. The 3rd Heavy Cavalry Division of Gerry's Regiment collided head-on.
The collision between the light and heavy cavalry teams quickly separated the results. Like a huge wedge, Mao Jin led his division to cut open the two Kamanwan cavalry teams advancing westward, and continued to rush eastward. Chong, and immediately got into a scuffle with the two heavy cavalry Wan cavalry who followed the light cavalry westward. This battle of heavy cavalry is the first time that the heavy cavalry of the Northwest Army will compete with Kaman's heavy cavalry, which is known as the number one combat force in the Eastern Continent. It stands to reason that heavy cavalry are generally unlikely to face-to-face hand-to-hand duel. Instead, they used the ability to break through the enemy's infantry to compare their own combat power, but fate played such tricks that two heavy cavalry broke out in a king-to-king decisive battle under such a situation.
One side is the Kaman heavy armored cavalry known as the Iron Army, and the other is the newly-emerged Northwest Army heavy cavalry. Such a battle was not expected to break out under such circumstances, and the wedge-shaped 3rd Heavy Cavalry Division first achieved a small victory.
The wild intruding northwest cavalry did give the Kaman cavalry a head-on blow, but the battle-tested Kaman cavalry quickly adjusted their deployment and regrouped into a regular phalanx to fight fiercely with the northwest cavalry blocked by the light cavalry in front. Together. The iron spears were flying, and the golden spears were criss-crossing. Every time there was a collision, there was only a neat shout, the impact of metal weapons, and the dull sound of weapons hitting the body. It was no longer clear what it was, and the corpse that landed on the ground quickly turned into a mass of meat wrapped in iron armor under the iron hooves.
The Kaman Iron Cavalry, known as the Undefeated Iron Army, quickly demonstrated their combat power accumulated over hundreds of years. It may be difficult for two armored cavalry to distinguish the superior and inferior in their respective battlefields, but this face-to-face duel You can immediately see the difference between the two sides. The military discipline that the Kaman people have built with a century of iron and blood is indeed not comparable to that of the army formed in the Northwest in just a few years, especially among the heavy cavalry that absolutely emphasizes discipline. Even the whole earth trembled, and the converging torrents began to deform and mix, and finally developed into chaos. Although the Northwest Iron Cavalry took the lead in the battle, and even took the lead, the tenacious Kaman people paid a certain price and relied on their tenacity. Fighting spirit gradually reversed the unfavorable situation and gradually took the initiative on the battlefield.
The dark iron helmet and animal-shaped face shield, the overlapping iron leaf armor, the tough and thick horse armor, the sharp and long iron spear or dagger in the strong and powerful hands swings gusts of wind and thunder, The breath and neighing of the steed under the crotch seemed to contain this infinite power, and the huge inertial acceleration was enough for a cavalry weighing more than a thousand catties to knock down a thick wall. No matter in terms of armor or equipment, there is not much difference between the two sides, only the expressions in the eyes of the two sides can see the difference in style of the two sides. One side is cold and calm, ruthless and indifferent, as if soaked in a hundred years of vicissitudes and hardships, even if Mount Tai overwhelms and the river flows backwards, there will be no slight change in color; Knock down Knock down.
The continuous piercing sound of metal impacts makes people feel like they are in a huge blacksmithing workshop. As a once-in-a-century classic **** battle, it was recorded in the annals of the Eastern Continent War.
In the end, the hot-blooded vs. cold-stern finally decided the winner. Although the Northwest Cavalry took the lead in the early stage, the powerful Kaman Cavalry quickly reversed the disadvantages with strict discipline and methodical tactical adjustments. The battle between the two sides entered the stage of competing for the true strength of the cavalry. The proud cavalry did not disappoint them. After quickly weakening the two wings of the Northwest Cavalry, the Kaman Cavalry quickly divided the Northwest Cavalry into a large block and several small blocks, and used the small-scale phalanx to launch a charge. Encircle and suppress the small Northwest cavalry group.
Although the Northwest Iron Cavalry lacked the ability to cope with this situation, they fought desperately, but the gap in tactics, experience, and will could not be made up with courage and blood. Fortunately, as the commander of the third heavy cavalry division Mao Jin soon discovered this irreversible trend. As a bandit, he was best at evacuating in unfavorable situations. He couldn't let his first heavy cavalry division in the Northwest be destroyed by the Kamans. With the green hills in his hands, he is not afraid of lack of firewood. As long as he can get out of the siege, the Northwest Cavalry's combat power will surely rise to a new level, not to mention that he has initially completed the planned interception mission.
Although the Kamanian cavalry had the upper hand, they were unable to encircle this powerful armored cavalry. The corpses of 10,000 people, the Kamanians also paid a heavy price for strangling this iron cavalry. More than 6,000 elite Kamanian cavalrymen paid their lives in this encounter. The loss of the Kaman people can almost catch up with the loss of the Northwest Iron Cavalry.
The counterattack of the Northwest Iron Cavalry to the east greatly disrupted the attack plan of the Kamans, especially the Northwest Army, which still had the strength of 10,000 heavy cavalry, broke through to the north, which was equivalent to inserting behind the Kamanians who were advancing quickly This made the Kamanian army on the southern line have to consider that their flanks might face the impact of the northwest iron cavalry at any time. As the commander of the southern line, Count Gustav could only slow down while sending light cavalry to pursue them. Concerned about the rapid response ability of the army.
The southern route is not going very well, as is the northern route. If the southern front is a head-to-head confrontation between the Northwest Army and the Kaman army, then the battle on the northern front has become a game of hide and seek. The 30,000 Mott light cavalry fully demonstrated the demeanor of the nomads as the king of light cavalry. Not long after the Kamanian northern line entered Pinglu, the Mott light cavalry split into two groups and took the initiative to attack to avoid the menacing Kaman The cavalry detoured and attacked the Kaman infantry group that followed the Kaman cavalry attack. The Kaman infantry's good combat quality and superior emergency response ability helped them a lot, but the nomadic light cavalry still caused them two thousand soldiers. However, they were helpless in the face of the nomadic cavalry coming and going like the wind. While strengthening their defense ~IndoMTL.com~ they had to slow down their marching speed.
As the commander of the Northern Front Group, Hurley, the commander of the Fourth Corps, never imagined that he would encounter fierce counterattacks from the Northwest Army after he had just stepped into the Pinglu Mansion. It was obvious in the battle of raids, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, sometimes in front, sometimes in the back, in the plain area in the northeast of Pinglu, this kind of light cavalry showed their characteristics to the fullest, and Kaman's light cavalry The cavalry also exposed their shortcomings in the duel with their peers. No matter in terms of maneuverability, tactical formation change, and horse's natural riding ability, the innate ability of nomadic cavalry to change from time to time, time to time, and time to disperse and gather is beyond the reach of the Kaman light cavalry, and they are often attacked by nomadic cavalry. After a while, they hurried to the battlefield, and could only watch these extremely arrogant guys roaring away.
The uninterrupted harassment of the nomadic cavalry not only brought considerable losses to the infantry group on the northern line, but also severely damaged the morale of the Kamanian infantry, and the marching speed of the Kamanian infantry was also greatly slowed down. While reporting the situation to the commander, they can slow down the marching speed, shorten the distance between the front and rear troops, and strengthen the guards on the two wings. Since then, the nomadic cavalry has also changed its attack method and dispersed into more attack teams, often in teams of thousands As a unit, long-distance raids mainly based on bow and arrow attacks are adopted, and the focus is on attacking the logistics and supply units in the rear. Often, after the overwhelming rockets pass, the logistics and supply vehicles will ignite raging fire, or they will target the marching infantry for a while. The rain of arrows covered the sky, and when you organized a counterattack, they had already slipped away.
This kind of multi-point attack covering the entire marching group made the Kaman Northern Line Group more threatened, which made Hurley furious but helpless.
