Heart of Empire Chapter 274: See through

Chapple's expression is very serious now, and the situation in front of him is even more serious than his expression.

About half an hour ago, Gusha's army suddenly increased its offensive.

Chapple's reaction could not be described as unpleasant, and he immediately understood it. He estimated that the news of Dane's surprise attack on Malone had already reached Gusha's ears. That guy must know by now that the strength of the White Wolf Fort army in front of him is not right.

Being so blinded, one can imagine how frustrated Gusha would be, and it is understandable that he would suddenly start a violent attack.

It cannot be said that Gusha is too stupid, it can only be said that he does not have a deep understanding of the military power of White Wolf Fort.

He got the news that the military strength in White Wolf Fort was only 3,000 regular troops. Then, he saw that the White Wolf Fort Legion in front of his army was indeed about the same in number, so he didn't go. Imagine that Dane's army would choose to divide the troops.

Now, he knows why, according to the rumors, the elf troops under Dane did not show up-he is not here at all!

Actually, Chapple feels very lucky to be able to cover the other party until now. In fact, after the start of this battle plan, he felt that he might be seen through by the opponent soon. After all, although he recruited the 1,000 soldiers of the garrison corps stationed in Rotten Wolf Town to make up the number, so that the number problem is not big, but the gap between the garrison army and the elite soldiers is indeed a bit big. Light infantry regiments are inferior in comparison.

This is a flaw, a flaw that is easily seen through by the other party. But fortunately, Gusha didn't have a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of Dane's army. In Gusha's view, it is quite normal for a legion that has expanded rapidly in three months to have the combat effectiveness of a garrison legion.

No matter what, on Chapple's side, he had long planned to be seen through by the enemy, and of course he was prepared for this.

When Gusha stepped up his offensive, Chapple immediately took corresponding countermeasures.

Flags change and the rhythm of the drums also changes. On the field, after the officers of the White Wolf Fort noticed the change, they also led the soldiers directly under them and began to act according to the predetermined plan.

The first to move were the white wolf guards of the two brigades. Before, the white wolf guards, who were still adopting a balanced strategy and had both offense and defense, began to completely tighten towards the center under the orders of the officers, and the entire formation became very tight.

This is a very tight defensive formation, even a defense that has given up the counterattack.

If it was a normal battle, Chapple would not let the White Wolf Guards do this. After all, such a blindly defending formation cannot win the war.

But for this war, Chapple decisively chose such a strategic plan.

After the White Wolf Guards chose to tighten their hands, the soldiers of the garrison regiment that originally surrounded the White Wolf Guards also began to shrink with the White Wolf Guards as the core. It's just that their combat effectiveness is far behind that of the White Wolf Guards, so that after Gusha's army began to step up their offensive, it was difficult for them to complete such strategic moves under pressure.

It can be said that it is a trend to strengthen defense. Especially when Chapple saw that the situation was unstable, he directly held the two light infantry brigades that had been in his hands all afternoon except for the beginning of shooting arrows. They were all thrown into the battlefield.

The light infantry brigade of White Wolf Castle can be regarded as a regular army. Although there is not a small gap compared to the core elite like the White Wolf Guard, but no matter how you say it, they are stronger than the soldiers of the garrison army. Even if the combat power is slightly weaker than that of the infantry of the Confused City, at least they have the ability to fight.

At the same time, under Chapple's order, the white wolf cavalry of the brigade that had been cruising around the battlefield for half an afternoon and hadn't been engaged in the battle came closer to the battlefield, and made a decision that might directly attack the ancient warriors at any time. Sha's offensive force and the situation of the main army.

The effect of these adjustments made by Chapple is quite obvious. After the enemy stepped up their offensive, although the front line seemed a little unstable at first, when the white wolf heavy infantry completed the contraction, and the six hundred After the human light infantry brigade was also pushed onto the battlefield, this unstable situation was greatly alleviated.

Moreover, the ready-to-go wolf cavalry is a threat. This forced Gusha on the opposite side to allocate some people to take precautions. After all, if you don't care about it at all, the destructive power that the three hundred wolf riders can cause is a bit big.

Of course, Chapple knew that with the power he now possessed, it was impossible to defeat Gusha in a frontal battle. Although the number is similar, except for the White Wolf Guards, their strength is much stronger.

In fact, even now, the stable situation obtained after adopting a comprehensive defensive state is only temporary. From Chapple's point of view, of course he can see that as long as the opponent's offensive has just started, it can be further strengthened and become more violent. As for the means he can take, except for using wolf cavalry, there is no other way.

And as long as the wolf cavalry moved, without the last force that could pose a threat to the Tiedinggang Army, the entire battle would be said to be a complete defeat for one's own side.

Chapple looked up at the sky, the afterglow of the setting sun had already set, and the wasteland that had been covered for a whole day under the earthy yellow color had already entered the cold night. Although it's not completely dark yet, but within ten minutes at most, night will completely cover it~IndoMTL.com~ He doesn't know that after dark, the enemy will slow down their offensive, making the battle easier , will continue to step up the onslaught. But he doesn't care either, what he cares more is, when can Dane come?

After the White Wolf Fort Corps and the Iron Nail Hill Corps had been fighting for a whole afternoon, the scene finally started to become more intense and intense. In the past twenty minutes, the number of soldiers killed and injured on both sides has almost caught up with the whole afternoon.

From another aspect, it can also be seen how flat the battle in the afternoon was, except for the artillery bombardment and the warlock casting spells at the beginning.

Gu Sha's army was attacking more fiercely under the tight drums of battle. Until the night fell completely, Gusha's troops did not intend to slow down their strength at all.

At the beginning, the defense line of the White Wolf Fort Corps, relying on the White Wolf Guards as the core, is already showing signs of being unable to support it now!
