345 Ambush III
The war horse stirred the waist-high river, swinging in the pale sky, lines, Kleist's face was haggard, the armor on his body was bloodstained, and he encountered a Samar infantry when retreating, and after a bloody battle in the middle of the night, he finally brought out the commander-in-chief Somya, and under the escort of a dozen knights, he once again stepped on the Ettley River that had been crossed by the net in the middle of the night,
The sound of fighting in the camp behind him had gradually faded, and the edge of the smoke-filled sky had a white color, and the fierce battle ended at dawn, and under the full counterattack of the Samar army, the disorganized infantry group of Inerdian suffered a heavy blow,
Although the Inordian infantry showed a very high level of suzhì, and resisted bravely and stubbornly without command and cavalry support, they were still overwhelmed by the tide of Samar soldiers who were not afraid of death, and the camp was lost inch by inch in front of the eyes of the Miaoerdian army, although it was already a ruin, although it was an ambush by the Samar army,
But this is still a heavy blow to the will of Rui Erdian's army, and the loss of the territory that he has gained again, and being driven out in such a humiliating way, is a shame in any army, let alone the elite of the arrogant Miao Erdian Northern Army
Kleist's horse's hooves stepped on the safe river beach opposite, the rout army retreating from the camp had already occupied the place, densely packed with human heads, most of them were in tattered armor, with blood stains on their bodies, yesterday they were still 30,000 high-spirited elites, and now only these exhausted and ruined troops remained
"Are we so defeated? Kleist raised his head with a stunned face, from last night's fierce battle to now, Kleist still hasn't figured out what is going on, and the night has been full of fighting noise and flames
The golden morning light pierced the clouds and shone down. Because of the wide viewing angle, Kleist could see almost the whole of the camp, the camp tent had turned into charred black supports in the thick smoke, and in the white morning mist on the opposite side of the river beach, black clumps were revealed.
"What's that?. Kleist's face was stunned, that river beach was the perimeter of the camp, but it was a passage connecting the infantry to the cavalry camp, "Could it be." Kleist gasped, a sense of foreboding. With the flow of dense fog, the true face of the river beach is slowly revealed,
The corpses of nearly 5,000 war horses make the whole area like a huge killing cemetery, even the people and horses are full of arrows with white flowers, like small white flowers trembling slightly in the morning breeze, leaving huge drag marks on the ground, some are cavalry piled together, and some are several war horses crashing together,
It's like a pair of invisible giant hands forcibly squeezing thousands of people into it, such a scene is not one, but many, almost the entire river beach is like this, the corpses of people and war horses are stacked and crowded together, you can imagine what a tragic scene at that time.
No wonder the cavalry troops have not come to reinforce, it turned out that all of them were destroyed on this river beach, Kleist visually surveyed, in this narrow land of about 4 fierce meters, at least the strength of one cavalry flag regiment, the body of the nearest war horse was lying in the old meter away from the camp gate,
"Where's Levins?" Kleist heard the weak voice of the commander-in-chief Somia behind him, and quickly turned around to see that the fainting Somya had woken up, he was leaning against a tree with a pale face, and his eyes were solemn looking at the opposite river beach, as if he was looking for something.
Kleist's face was ugly, and he hurriedly responded, "When the subordinates broke through with the adults, the Samor army had already rushed into the Chinese army, and Lord Levens was in order to protect the military flag. I chose to stay in the big tent".
"What!" Somya's eyes twitched, his face darkened slightly, his weak body stood up against the trees, his eyes swept across the river, and he saw soldiers with wolf bodies everywhere,
The whole river beach was in shambles, countless untidy and unclothed Indian routs crowded on the rushing river, some were washed away by the rushing river, some fell into the river and never got up again, countless soldiers' corpses floated on the reefs along the river, white and swollen by the river blisters, and the unpleasant scorching smell and pungent smell of blood mixed in the air,
On the opposite camp, a flying falcon battle flag fluttered in the air, "Levens this stupid". Somya sighed and sat down, knowing that Levens, who stayed behind to guard the battle flag, was unlucky
This time, Somya adopted the tactics of a strong advance, trying to rely on the strong superior forces to forcibly open the road to the south, so he led most of the elite infantry,
Unexpectedly, he was burned by an inexplicable fire, nearly 20,000 people were killed, and the cavalry troops also suffered heavy losses.
The sharpest spear had broken, and Somya knew that he had nothing but to wait for reinforcements to come up. There is no other way
Seeing that the other side of the river was already crowded with Xunerdian's troops, the Samorian army stopped for the opposite side of the river
Army. It seems that there is no interest in pursuing it, and the two sides are just betting on each other
Seeing such a situation, Somya secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, now it is an excellent time to decide the victory with one blow whether it is for the Samore army or the Inordian army, judging from the table of the Samar army on the other side, after a night of fierce fighting, the body and will on both sides have reached the limit, as long as whoever has a new force in his hand, he can completely crush the other party, but no one has it, this is the vacuum period on the battlefield, "Order the troops to retreat to Frombe!" Somya looked at the dusty troops, his eyebrows twisted into a Sichuan character, knowing that he had no ability to fight back in this situation, he turned to Kleist and ordered, Kleist hurriedly led people to find a wolf-shaped trombonist in the rout,
The sound of the assembled trombone sounded on the river beach, which made the numb Fungus soldiers change slightly, and also caused a fluctuation among the Samor army on the other side of the river.
"Array, array!" shouted the captains of the Samor infantry, and groups of Samour spearmen climbed up the river, and after a night of fighting, their eyes were red like rabbits, and no one knew whether the Miaodian army would launch a counterattack on the camp.
In fact, there is only one flag regiment in the camp now, and most of the strength of the legion is encircling the cavalry of the river beach camp, after breaking through the infantry camp, Salon immediately turned the attack to the cavalry camp on the river beach, wanting to completely kill the most unusual attack momentum of the Miao Erdian people on this river beach, and ask the Miao Erdian army to have a toothache when they think of it tonight.
Seeing the Miaoerdian army on the other side of the river gathered into a square and began to slowly evacuate to the woods behind, which made the Samor army who stayed in the camp secretly relieved, although the Ruierdian army suffered heavy losses, but there were still tens of thousands of people on the river beach, if it really launched a counterattack on the camp, it would be a bloody battle of life and death. Now both sides are exhausted, and it is still a little difficult to rely on the strength of only one flag regiment.
A Samor spearman jumped onto the earthen platform along the river, covered in blood, raised his weapon and shouted, very quickly. Countless people jumped up, brandishing weapons in their hands and shouting,
Arrows swept through the sky, and countless black shadows crossed the dense phalanx of 10,000 Samar heavy spearmen, and poured like raindrops on the heads of the Indian cavalry who broke through, and the horses rolled and threw the cavalry off their horses, and the cavalry that attacked in the vanguard suddenly fell to pieces
The attack was sudden, and the cavalry did not expect the Samar army network to break through the infantry camp, and as soon as the troops turned around, they immediately formed a siege around themselves, and the cavalry camp was built along a river facing water on three sides, with only one exit. Originally, it was set up here because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was not easy to be raided.
At this moment, it became a cocoon, the Samorian army did not charge the camp at all, but constantly launched rockets and projectiles against the camp from a distance, forcing the cavalry out of the strong camp with a sea of fire, and the Miaoerdian cavalry encountered Samar's fuel projectiles for the first time, and the bursting flames made the war horses panic,
The fireballs dragging the smoke quickly turned the entire camp into a sea of fire, the neighing of the war horses and the panicked neighing of the soldiers were mixed together, and there was a bombardment of the camp, and there were galloping war horses everywhere, the cavalry captains could not find their subordinates, and the cavalry could not find their war horses, and the chaos was like a big snowball, quickly rolling to the entire camp
Some of the cavalry chose to evacuate from the river, but under the scattering of the Samor ballista, a squadron that tried to evacuate from the river was all shot dead in the river, and the corpses of men and horses even blocked the river, turning the already slow and difficult river into a rushing torrent, and tens of thousands of cavalry had to choose to break through from the exit.
"Kill". The Miao Erdian cavalry held the shield in one hand and the knight's spear in the other, shouting and charging with arrows, like a sharp spear slamming into the Samar infantry array blocking in front.
"Column Spear". The Samar veterans in the middle have used their shoulders to resist it, and the five-meter horizontal spear in their hands is lowered from the gap between the shoulders of their companions in front, and the entire military formation is like a hedgehog that encounters the enemy and suddenly opens its whole body spikes, and the four phalanxes are like four steel thorn walls and collide with the Miao Erdian cavalry who are trying to break through
The huge impact force of the "bump" cavalry made the shields of the Samar spearmen in the front row sink inward, and their bodies were knocked out, but the cavalry with high-speed impact was also pierced by the spears and became hedgehogs, and the war horses neighed in a pool of blood, and the Miao Erdian cavalry was like a tidal wave crashing on the huge coastal reef, and was knocked down and shattered.
"Assault!" The huge Samor army formation advanced towards the cavalry group, using a multi-level gun array composed of five-meter horizontal spears to cut the Ruierdian cavalry group into several pieces, and then the follow-up crossbow team quickly harvested the lives of the Miaoerdian cavalry with the heavy infantry crossbows in their hands.
