Power and Empire Chapter 1466: Showdown (7)
The fierce fighting on the northern border of Normandy, the savage corpses lie in the wilds,
"Kill!" The horseshoes of the cavalry group slacken through the quagmire where the rain gathers. The tumbling heads are grunting in the muddy pool. The broken corpses are stacked together in large pieces, and the falcons are centered. The horse hooves of the cavalry flew up the blood-filled soil, threw the red and black soil back into the air and slammed it down, like a bird of prey from the rain, the ground shook first, then A thunderous sound of shocking people,
"Advance with all your strength!" Hu Keqili's goal is very clear, that is, in this distance, it is possible to overwhelm the queue of Slavs. In the white rain curtain, countless cavalry lined up a huge assault array, like An efficient and huge killing machine smashed directly over the head of the Slavs, and the horses neighed. In this way, the two sides slammed into each other heavily in the rain, and there was a violent metal collision sound, and countless figures were trampled by knife light and horseshoes
The red rainwater gathers into small and large streams, and flows along the dry and cracked soil, mixed with scattered sand and sand, into the crevices of the earth. The jī war, from the beginning, has entered a high tide, and the falcons are centered. The cavalry slashed and slashed, driving the Slavs’ rout and attacking the troops behind,
A few cavalrymen came from the center of the Slavs for reinforcements, but they were still on the road when they were pulled down by the broken soldiers. Everyone rushed into each other and stomped to death and wounded countless people
"Shotgun! Don't mess up" some powerful Slavs troops, facing the falcon cavalry on the flanks, and facing the fleeing compatriots, these armored shield spearmen quickly erected A long spear dedicated to blocking the charge of the cavalry, but for a large-scale rout, this kind of struggle can have very limited effects.
"Kill" the horse neighs. The two armies staggered together, the two sides collided, the cavalry rolled from their horses to the ground, and the Slavs’ shield wall was torn apart. In front of the cavalry clusters that roared, the Slavs’ single bó formation was like being The original plank squeezed by the heavy hammer broke under the strong multi-level attack, and the cavalry stepped on the head of the entire Slav without hindrance, like a giant earth dragon that was constantly tumbling.
Among them, 4 lightly outfitted thousand-person teams were like a dam hit by floods, and they didn’t even have time for basic resistance, and the other two thousand-person teams just reached the flank line and met oncoming. Although the cavalry attacked, although they managed to support it for a while, they were quickly defeated by the cavalry’s multi-layer squeeze tactics. "The Rita Department collapsed!"
"Report, Master Han Du died in battle!"
One report from the collapsed area made the faces of the Slavic leaders in the Central Military Zone extremely ugly.
They expected a failure in the first attack, but failure does not mean such a disastrous failure. In fact, the Slavs are not idiots, although their weapons are inferior. However, most of the Slavic soldiers are tall and cold people. Heavy weapons can easily kill an imperial soldier in armor.
It’s just that no one thought that the opponent would have enough to face a hundred thousand army. They also have the courage to take the initiative to attack, in accordance with their past practice of not fighting against the imperial army, facing a number of enemies with an advantage. The Imperial Army will not attack,
And this time, the opposing commander was obviously bold and bold. With five thousand cavalry as the blade, he directly attacked his own 100,000 troops. This approach can no longer be called bravery. This is crazy, gambling, and the opponent’s The commander is obviously a crazy gambler. Such an opponent is unwilling to be right by any opponent. No one can know what the madman wants to do. Anyway, at present, the consequence of this crazy desperate bet is unprepared. Directly hit the flank of our army to the extreme,
In less than two hours, the report from the front indicated that more than 70% of the 30,000 people deployed on the flanks have been defeated, and the chaos is still expanding like a whirlpool, and the mountains and plains are fleeing. The returning soldier,
The leaders had to raise the battle flag in the center to guide the defeated army to gather and avoid causing greater chaos. There are inevitably some senior officers in the collapsed army. After their dictation, the situation in the combat area is also quickly improved. I'm clear,
can be described as horrible, in the mouth of these officers who escaped by chance, these enemies hiding behind the fortified long wall are really shameless, rain of arrows, stone throwing, and then the powerful crush of the cavalry raid! This almost rogue style of warfare. It's completely different from the opponents you have faced in the past. At any rate, you also come out to line up, fight a fight, without saying a word, directly engage in the cavalry, I will wipe it! Isn’t this bullying?
The leaders of the tribe were dumbfounded and speechless. The surprise and deliberateness of the other party was certainly a reason, but the biggest mistake appeared on themselves. The overstretched force was just like a piece of soft flesh sent directly. On the tip of the enemy's knife
In order to test the weakness of this long wall defense, the Slavic leaders deliberately used a total of 100,000 troops to discharge a long line of more than 4 kilometers, clumsy and long formation, or able to attack the city, but It is definitely not suitable to deal with sudden changes. An order is passed from one end to the other. It takes a while to ride a fast horse, not to mention that a large number of landslide-like cavalry raid the soldiers who have broken up, almost completely making the order impossible to reach.
Although there is still some distance from the combat area, the deafening shouts and screams made the tribal leaders feel cold all over,
It can be imagined that under the fierce assault of the enemy cavalry, the flank of this side is in the long wilderness, and the hundreds of linear arrays stretched out are like long lines that are rolled up and broken by the storm, sweeping across the opponent's front. With one blow from the cavalry, the whole team broke up and fled,
The soldiers screamed under their horses’ hooves, and the battle was rotten. The opponent’s offensive was out of control like a blazing prairie fire. Five thousand people, they actually launched a frontal impact on the tens of thousands of troops. This seemingly crazy blast of fire The general style of play, if there is something similar, it’s a fight with the devil of the East Court on the other end of the wilderness.
The hesitation of the tribal leaders completely collapsed the battle on the flanks, and found that the situation was not right. Many Slavs’ queues hurriedly changed the direction of the battle, but the slings roaring from the opposing wall to greet them were like a storm. Clusters of arrows pouring down,
You can constantly see the soldiers flying up from the rocks, or directly turning into a pile of minced meat under the rocks,
The soldier who was holding a shield in his hand, who dared not move by the suppressed chain, was directly flattened by the cavalry. It was terrible.
Some tribal leaders retreated in their hearts and began to order a retreat, and some tribal leaders proposed to rescue the flanks, but what they got was a kind of silence, the army was ruined like a mountain, or faced with a large number of cavalry. In this case, who dares to save! ,
"The flanks are defeated like this, is it still meaningful to rescue now?" An old man with gray hair and a face full of deep scars like a stone carving, looked at the distant wall, his eyes flashed and said, "This attack is from one point. It was a mistake in the beginning," I can assure you, the Fifth Army of Julius Faubourg must not be behind the wall, and even the enemy’s has not been figured out, so let’s withdraw and discuss the long term! "
"The old patriarch Tobias is right, even the enemy hasn’t figured it out. What are we still fighting here?" some timid patriarchs echoed.
The rain is hazy and picturesque. The sound of the fighting has calmed down,
On the wall, the fat man watched the Slavs army slowly retreating in front. The voice of soldiers cheering for victory sounded on the wall. Five thousand falcon guards and cavalry entered through the open wall gate. The blood of the earth,
"Your Majesty! Fortunately to live up to the mission!" Hu Keqili, covered in blood, jumped off his horse and reported loudly to the fat man who was not far away.
"You did a beautiful job! You really deserve to be the Hu Keqili of the Empire Blade!" The fat man shook his shoulder with joy, and said jokingly, "Five thousand cavalry repelled one hundred thousand enemies, such a record. Enough to make your name go down in history! Let’s talk about it, hero of the empire, what is your gratitude now"
"Don't dare, your Majesty arranged it properly!"
Hu Keqili quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, although he just created a record that is almost a miracle,
But Hu Keqili knows very well that a queue of tens of thousands of people was dissipated by five thousand cavalry from the front. It is rare in regular warfare~ IndoMTL.com~ The reason for this miracle comes from hunting. His Majesty Eagle's unexpectedly accurate calculations, in the eyes of the opponent, taking the initiative to attack is undoubtedly crazy, but if the 300 catapults and 20,000 skilled crossbowmen are also counted, it is another matter!
The Slavs came from a long distance, hunger and poverty, and the lack of coordination between the various ministries, and the front line was stretched too long, which gave the Falcons the convenience of gaining local superiority.
The mystery of victory lies here,
Maybe even the Slavs did not expect that in order to ensure the first appearance of the Central Cavalry, they would leave a huge deterrent influence on the Slavs, and they would be completely afraid of the Slavs in order to make the Slavs Give up the idea of continuing south,
Fatty decided to put one-third of his troops on this line of attack, which is about 500 meters long,
The tidy rumbling sound of the three-hundred catapult projectile, even the ground, the feet are shaking,
The dense coverage of 20,000 skilled crossbow shooters transferred from the Southern Army is enough to make a 500-meter area saturated for a long time.
As long as they find that the Slavs have gathered in the collapsed army, they will immediately use slings and arrow rain to disperse them. The Slavs can gather less than 20,000 troops in this area.
Absolute advantage, even though the Slavs have a total of 100,000 troops, they are completely unable to recover. The disadvantage is that they can respond to the situation of a sudden saturation test and crush, and there is only one "escape" (to be continued ) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
