Power and Empire Chapter 1701: Universal Battle (7)
1701 General Battle (7)
Seeing countless clusters of arrows approaching, Gang Fei's infantry captain yelled "Attention, raise the shield" like a tearing cry. The cold light in the sky flickered, expanding rapidly in the Gang Fei soldiers’ pupils, and Gang Fei soldiers moved neatly. With the shield, the metal luster carries the steel-like defensive line
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Arrow clusters are like raindrops, falling violently on the heads of Gangfei Eighth Army on the river bank. The suppressed Gangfei people can't even lift their heads. Even heavy infantry in heavy armor cannot withstand the west. The court archer hurriedly shot through the arrows. The specially processed triangular arrows lashed like a whip like a hurricane on the army formation of the Congolese and Africa, and plunged into the weak armor of the heavy infantry with a whistling sound. Place,
" Ah, "Blood splattered and screamed constantly. At first, I was able to face it with high morale, but as the companions came down one by one, the morale of the infantry quickly disappeared, and there seemed to be endless rounds of firing. , Torturing the nerves of all non-infantry soldiers, clusters of arrows are like headless flies, roaring in from the gap between the shields erected in the queue, densely inserted into the flesh and blood body behind the shield, a few rounds later, the first encounter like this The intensively attacked troops from the Eighth Army just started to panic and unconsciously retreated.
White lines brought by clusters of arrows continue to shoot in from the gaps in the shields. The casualties of heavy infantry are increasing. The first one who can't bear it is the archers of the Eighth Army. After the embarrassing shooting of the arrow clusters, The shooters who quickly retreated into their own military formation found that they, without special shield protection, were like the grass growing in the wheat field. They were quickly harvested by the terrifying marksman on the opposite side. The situation was too chaotic. The non-soldiers are all frightened, everyone is seeking self-protection, and these extra archers are in charge there
The main combat force of the Eighth Army is heavy infantry with excellent combat effectiveness. As an auxiliary unit, there are only 3 squadrons of archers, with a total of 3,000 men.
The first squadron was placed on the front line, and several encounters were dead long ago. The second squadron was placed on the right **** of the river bank. It was originally a deployment to block the opponent from crossing the river. Because they were out of range, they floated lightly. The cluster of arrows fell down before flying over the river bank and was quickly swept away by the rapids in the Toronto river.
The archer of the third squadron was in the back. He saw the tragic situation of his colleagues in front. Before he went up, he began to panic. Looking from the other side of the river bank, the opposite Falcon Army’s black light armored archers lined up. , Dense like a dense forest growing along a river course, with every bow handle and arrow clusters that are raised upwards, like dense stars flashing in the fog on the opposite side, the contrast of strength is too big, there is no shield The protection, whoever passes is dead! Without the cover of archers, the steel array formed by the non-infantry is like a **** mouth that has been torn apart by sections and begins to bleed.
" Everyone stay steady! The enemy's attack will not be long!" An infantry captain holding a heavy shield, squatting halfway, and hiding behind the shield proficiently, shouted in a tone that he didn't believe him. Encouraging the morale of his subordinates, clusters of arrows clinked on his infantry shield, or directly inserted into the ground near his feet. The infantry queue behind him exploded blood in the middle of the arrow rain.
A young infantry next to him, because the shield was raised slightly at a higher angle, a cluster of arrows fell from a strange angle, piercing the scales of his knee deeply, "Ah" The soldier squatted down in pain, and several clusters of arrows shot in from his weak armored back when he bent over, "Puff! Puff! Puff!" The **** arrow penetrated through the infantry's chest. The soldier didn’t even have a chance to hum, and was quickly pierced into a **** hedgehog by countless falling arrows.
The dead-eyed corpse just fell straight in front of the dumbfounded infantry captain
"Captain, when did the enemy launch an attack!" This tragic picture made all the Gangfei soldiers in the same team pale. Everyone hid behind the shield and did not dare to show their heads, but the casualties were still there. Continue to appear, one, two. . . . . The queue becomes more and more sparse
" Bastard, what kind of battle is this all fighting... "The infantry captain turned away subconsciously, and wiped a handful of blood spattered on his face with an ugly expression, only he could listen. The voice that arrived said angrily. In this short half hour, the entire river beach was like being washed back and forth by arrow rain. The Gangfei Eighth Army had never encountered such a intensive long-range attack. Nailed on the river beach, on the opposite bank, it is another exciting scene
"Vertical bow!" Xiting shooters, with a number of 10,000, are using special round shooting tactics, like a shuttle to clean up the stupid targets on the opposite river bank one by one.
"The first team, shoot!"
"The second team, shoot!"
"The third team, shoot!"
A round-shooting array based on 3,000 West Court shooters, alternated on the river bank, the bowstring vibrated the air, making a whistling sound, and the white arrow clusters were divided into three batches and flew into the sky like dense streamers. , And then it’s like a waterfall hanging upside down, crossing the wide river surface, and intensively aiming at a certain area to form a covered three-stage saturated shooting
This is the tactics used by the steppe people against the dense infantry array! At 30 meters in front of the entire round shooting queue, the West Court marksmen were specially selected to aim at the opposite target with their own unique methods. The cold light brought by each arrow is an unbelievable unbelievable shield soldier. Falling down, without a shield, the heavy axeman behind is a meat target. Even if he wears heavy armor, he will still be injured and bleed in such a dense and over-saturated arrow attack until death. The blood will fall from the ground. The armor of the heavily loaded axe soldier is flowing out of it, and it looks extremely bloody!
"Despicable!"
Eighth Army Commander Goode looked angrily as he watched the opponent's shooter finish a round, and then another pair of shooters quickly tuned up. The cold light of arrows from the continuous throwing rain flashed a bit of bitterness in his eyes, and he began to say I regretted choosing to fight in the river. This is an unfair battle. The river that was used to block the opponent's cavalry has now become the best protection belt for the opponent's archers. The advantage of the terrain is completely reversed and it is fifty meters wide. On the river surface, the opponent's large number of scalp archers are completely unscrupulously launching projectiles, rounds, precise bursts, and massacres to this side!
And the only thing I can do here is stare. Even though I have participated in tragic battles many times, this is the first time that the Goode Commander has encountered this situation.
In his mind, the so-called long-range shooter is just something used to adjust the atmosphere in the early stage of the main confrontation. Especially for the Obaro area where heavy infantry combat is the main method, the influence of the long-range shooter is almost negligible and thick. The armor and the sturdy shield formed an iron-like army formation, advancing forward like mountains and seas, the spearmen tore the opponent’s line of defense, and the cavalry launched a sweeping death shock from the flanks, either death or victory. This is the Continental War. The main theme of is in line with the contest between soldiers,
And now the battlefield he is facing is densely clustered like a swarm of locusts rising from the horizon, and the light of death is continuously falling from the sky like a natural disaster. It is bitter and can only wait to be shot. Depressed, not to mention the soldiers who are suffering from these strong blows. It is conceivable that even if they are holding a shield and wearing thick armor, bathing in this gorgeous rain of death, all their subordinates can have except panic! Still horrified!
"Can’t go on like this!"
Eighth Army Commander Goode's triumphant smile disappeared in the fourth round of arrow rain. He watched his proud subordinates, like a toad nailed to a riverbank. The casualties of the troops increased rapidly from 274 at the beginning of the confrontation to 1,143 and 2,149, several of the most elite heavy infantry teams. In this way, they gradually became thinner in the enemy’s killing. The eighth round of arrow rain gave him no face. The smug smile on Shang was completely replaced by a look of anger. The casualties exceeded 3,000, and rows of corpses flooded the riverbank.
The remaining troops are in a commotion, and the entire queue is like being pushed back by an invisible big hand. This is an absolutely impossible situation for the Gangfei Eighth Army Corps, which has always been known for its intrepidity and fear of death. Your subordinates are timid! The morale of the troops has been hit hard, the military spirit is floating, and strong imperial soldiers can't stand this hell-like torment!
"The fifth squadron leader Nagori-sama died in action!"
"The seventh squadron leader Botu was seriously injured!"
"The Ninth Squadron suffered heavy casualties and collapsed!"
One by one reports from the front line of battle damage made the Eighth Army Commander Goode's persistence more and more pale. Looking at the entire row of bow shooters who were shooting like a killing machine, his face finally became sullen and sullen. "A sound" is at best a cowardly opportunistic, a barbarian with no sense of military glory! Why should I fight against such a character! In this situation, it is really stupid to support the appearance even if it is dead and not retreating. !"
"Come on, order the squadron in front to withdraw immediately!" Goode shouted angrily, like a rabbit who had just found out that he had a lighted tail, and his eyes were red. In order to prevent the casualties of the troops from continuing to expand, even Goode, a well-known hard-fighting faction among the generals of Gangfei, can only temporarily order the forefront infantry formation to withdraw from the river bank.
"Woo" represents the retreat trombone, ushering in the moment when the first battle is over. On the bank of the river where the army is just now, densely arranged corpses stained the pebbles on the river beach, like a large piece of deliberate The huge canvas splashed with red dye, the queue of the army from the army, and the stern formation slowly retreat, showing very good army discipline.
About five thousand hard-and-non-heavy infantrymen lined up again one hundred meters behind, staring at the river bank with enthusiasm.
"How are the preparations for Remshat’s Crusade!"
Goode gathered the stragglers who had withdrawn from the front line while anxiously inquiring about the messengers behind him. He suffered a disastrous defeat before the official engagement. The casualties on his side were second. The loss of military mentality was even more serious. In the eyes of all the soldiers, we saw an emotion called fear flowing. These soldiers are not new soldiers, but veterans who have participated in the battle many times. It is really shocking that the other side's combat methods are too shocking for the soldiers to accept for a while. , The evacuated soldiers sat listlessly in the east cluster and the west cluster. The morale was as low as freezing, no one spoke,
This state makes him feel tricky! The enemy is not only cunning but also powerful, and the fiasco in the first battle is like a loud slap in the face of his rebellious subordinates! There is no need to fight, just bow and arrow in the distance, the opponent will let everyone here lose the fighting spirit to fight.
"A terrible opponent! But for the entire strategy, he is the real winner." Goode patrolled and asked the sergeant to re-calculate the war damage report. In his heart, he comforted himself and believed that although his loss was Disastrous, but stubbornly prevented the opposition from deepening in the northern part of Putao! Of course, if the opponent crosses the river forcibly, relying on the strength of the 30,000 people of the Eighth Army, it will just give the enemy a head-on attack to the troops crossing the river.
"Come on, cross the river, let us fight like a warrior!" Goode even had some small expectations in his heart, but the low morale of the army made the fighting spirit he had just risen disappeared, and he persisted. Right! As long as the opponent does not forcefully cross the river, there is absolutely no need to fight the enemy on this river.
In this battle, to defend the north is to keep the gate of victory for the emperor!
"Master Remchat is building a defense line at Biaburg, 15 miles behind, and it will take about a day!" The ordering cavalry replied
"One day? Okay, I get it!"
Goode nodded to the Chuanbing soldier, and then looked solemnly at the opposite bank of the river. He wanted to know who the intimidating opponent was, but the opponent's flag was too much, red color , Blue and gray, white and red, it is so messy that it makes people dizzy, it is impossible to tell which side is the real banner
There is no way. In addition to Fatty’s golden falcon flag, there are as many as a dozen tribal flags in Xiting. In addition, Fatty deliberately ordered the creation of more than 100 various family emblems to confuse the enemy’s flags. The military flag that came out this time can be described as gorgeous and colorful, like a sea of smoke,
Don’t say that Goode, who is just a non-human, can’t understand, people who are familiar with the flag of the Falcon will be stupid when they see these improvised flags
The fierce fighting has stopped. Goode saw that the opponent sent a team of light cavalry along the river bank to sweep the battlefield. It should be to confirm the safety of the river bank. This made Goode's nervous heart finally relax. It seems that the other party is commanding The official is indeed a mediocre, completely ignoring such an excellent opportunity to cross the river
On the other side of the river bank, the West Court shooters who won their first victory neatly put down their strong bows, and continuous high-intensity shooting is also a burden for the bow shooters. In fact, the West Court's Qianqi Chief We can't figure out why it is possible to cross the river, but there is no order to cross the river. A chief Qianqi with a gray leather cap Xiting cavalry ran from the direction of the river bank, looking excited towards the one who was watching the battle behind. Fatty reported "Khan King, the enemy's block has been repelled, do we need to cross the river?"
"Cross the river? No, of course we don’t cross the river! And we have to be stationed on the spot. "The fat man rides on a horse and waved his hand to this respectful Qian Qi commander." Tell Zamuk Qian Qi commander, Send out scouts to pay close attention to the situation in the surrounding area of 20 miles, and the army camps along the river on the spot!"
"Your Majesty, why don't we cross the river?"
Next to , Filantonia, who was dressed in prairie makeup, blinked and asked unexpectedly, "The enemy let go of the river bank. , Will surely be able to break through the enemy’s block and open a way for the army to penetrate the northern part of Putao? If this opportunity is missed, the enemy will have time to breathe. If we take the opportunity to establish a solid line of defense on the other side of the river, our army wants to break into Putao again. It’s not so easy in the north!"
"The reason for not crossing the river is because..." The fat man glanced at the beautiful Filantonia, stopped talking with a mysterious face, and suddenly laughed, "I don't want to cross the river at all, you see how much it is here. A good battlefield, if the opponent takes the initiative to cross the river and attack, our army can just give a head-on attack!"
" The opponent took the initiative to cross the river to attack. How could this be..." Felantonya was riding on the horse's body shocked, holding the horse's rein tightly, with a face of disbelief, this side could not take the initiative to attack. In the past, the opposite party was already thankful. After such a fierce arrow rain, the other party would not risk crossing the river to attack even if they were stupid, but it was the Vicia Falcon who said this, so it is basically certain, the other party Will definitely come to take the initiative to attack! , This is just a kind of thing that Filantonia doesn't understand, what exactly is the Viking Falcon plan!
" The so-called transfer to the northern part of Putao, it turned out to be a smog that confuses Gangs and inhumans. I never thought of rushing to the northern part of Putao! My goal from the beginning to now is actually only one, that is to elicit the Gang All the troops of the non-human in the general battlefield! "The fat man jerked the reins of the war horse, "It's just such an obvious purpose, maybe even Gangfei himself doesn't believe it! According to intelligence ~ IndoMTL.com~ Gangfei is in general There are two regiments in the area. This is one, and the other should be nearby. The Gangfei people thought I wanted to move to the northern part of Putuo, and then swarmed into the rear of the Gangfei main force on the Xupu Plateau.
"But I never thought that if these two legions were annihilated, the impact would be far more terrifying than killing to the Xupu Plateau." The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, his voice stopped, and he raised the whip in his hand. Condescendingly glanced down at the land divided into two by the river, and said domineeringly
" has lost the control of the general military force. The entire area of Kyoto from Gangfei's hinterland to the back of the Xupu Plateau will be completely exposed to the front of our cavalry! Even the extra offensive. You don’t need a city battle, you just ransack the towns on the periphery of the city. If the Emperor Gang is able to launch a battle on the Xupu Plateau, then it’s a hell!
"That's it!"
A trace of admiration flashed on Feilantonya’s pretty face. Only through personal experience did she know how splendid and changeable this battle was. Now she finally knows why the Vickia Falcon is holding the handy Falcon just not to fight in Kyoto. The smog marching into the north of General Tau, but pretending to be blocked in the unfavorable river area, the war has been transformed into a pleasing art in the hands of the empire **** of war, the Vicia Falcon.
