Chapter 101 The Second Battle of Hot Springs Pass 4

"Then we should go all out, why do you say that this is destined to be a low-intensity offensive and defensive battle?" Wallace didn't understand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info

"It will take about three days for my reinforcements to arrive, and there are only about 5,000 people, and the other side's reinforcements can be put into the battlefield in about a time, but their reinforcements may be greater than 8,000. The company commander looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he said.

"8,000? Isn't that a division?"

"According to reliable sources, the enemy's 44th Division has already come over, and even if we occupy this place, we will still have to leave in a few days, and we will still be after paying a huge price, so we came this time to reconnoiter the determination of resistance here. The company commander said as he nodded.

"But, look at Don Quixote, that thing really wants to occupy this place!"

"He's a big fool ร—, and when our troops enter the Franks in large numbers, he's going to be ......," the company commander made a neck wiping motion.

"The 4th Company is about to go under the city wall, should we speed up a little faster?"

"No, let the 4th company block a few more arrows for us, and then ......" The company commander finished speaking, and then, there was no more.

Wallace listened to the company commander while paying attention to the front, but he was silent as he spoke, and after a long time he did not see the company commander continue, and when he looked back, he saw the company commander lying on his back on the ground, with an arrow hanging from his chest.

Wallace hurriedly turned around and came to the company commander's side, knelt down to check, the arrow did not shoot through the chain mail under the uniform, the tip of the arrow was stuck by the ring of the chain mail, and hung on the company commander's chest like this, and there was not even blood on the tip of the arrow, presumably because the impact of the crossbow arrow shocked the company commander unconscious.

Wallace nudged the company commander a few times, and shouted as he pushed: "Second lieutenant, second lieutenant, wake up, wake up!"

"I'm fine, don't push, you'd better lie down now, and when the receiving troops come up, we can withdraw." The company commander opened one eye slightly and whispered to Wallace.

Wallace looked up at the starting position, and sure enough, the first and sixth companies were dispatched, these two companies were sword and shield soldiers, and it was not very useful to come up at this time, but it was still somewhat useful to cover the retreat.

At this time, a huge force slammed into Wallace's back, causing Wallace to lie directly on the ground, and the pain in his back made him scream unconsciously, and then he wanted to get up.

"Don't get up, get on your stomach!" Wallace immediately replied.

Wallace looked around curiously, it was the first time he had observed the battlefield situation from this perspective, and then he saw that the soldiers who had given them German volunteers as escorts were also like them, lying or lying on the ground one by one, and a few of them also pulled out the arrows they shot at the ground, and stuck their hands on themselves.

Wallace's heart rose when he saw it, and he wanted to jump up, but before he could move, his arm was grabbed by the company commander, he looked at the company commander in surprise, and the company commander shook his head and said, "Let them go." โ€

"But ......" Wallace still wanted to say a few words, the company commander looked at Nunu in the distance, Wallace turned his head to look over, it turned out that more than 30 guys who were hit by arrows, more than half of them woke up, and only half of these people stood up tremblingly, and then fell to the ground by the arrows shot from the city.

What about the rest of the people, staring at their small group of people with big innocent eyes, Wallace buried his face in the dirt in front of him in frustration, just such a bunch of garbage, what do you expect them to win?

After a long while, probably holding it for too long, Wallace raised his head again, gasping for breath, he turned his head to look at the company commander, and said, "Second Lieutenant, are you from Kruger?"

A glimpse flashed in the company commander's eyes, but it was immediately gone, and he said, "No. โ€

"Then why do you know so much about it, and how you behave like them on the battlefield? Wallace's tone was cold, but it didn't do much for the company commander.

"Do you want to get into Kruger?"

"I really wanted to go in, but now I ......"

Before Wallace could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the company commander: "Once, I went with my friend to apply for the Kruger exam, I didn't get in, he went in, three years later, by chance, I met him again, and he said to me: 'Don't go to the exam, it's hell there. โ€™โ€

"And then, you stopped thinking about applying for the exam?"

"Yes, I dismissed the idea and worked in an ordinary army until now. โ€

"And all the information you know was told to you by your friends?" asked Wallace disbelievingly.

"Yes, how do you really want to get into Kruger, I can introduce you to it. The company commander put his head on his hands and looked at the blue sky.

Wallace was about to agree, but suddenly hesitated again, and the company commander turned his head to look at him, and then said, "Don't worry, think about it later, now we can withdraw." โ€

Wallace looked up and saw that a group of soldiers from a company had already walked in front of him, and a squad leader stopped and asked, "Sir, are you all right?"

The company commander saw that the squad leader showed a trace of contempt in the corners of his eyes when he saw the arrow hanging on Wallace's back, and he said to the squad leader: "I am the third company commander Hoffman, this is the Wallace platoon commander under me, I was hit by an arrow in the city, and when my platoon commander came to treat me, he was also shot by an arrow, and then he was stunned, what is the situation now?"

When the squad leader heard this, he no longer despised Wallace, and he responded, "Sir, the enemy has nearly 500 men in ambush in the city walls, and the leader has asked us to meet you. โ€

"Okay, give it a hand. The company commander stood up with his hand on the squad leader's shoulder, and it looked like he had a serious chest injury, maybe a few ribs were broken.

Wallace looked at the company commander with great admiration, this acting skill, after he was discharged from the army, he could become an actor.

Wallace stood up with difficulty, he didn't need to dress, his back was bleeding, because he was kneeling on the ground just now to check the company commander's injury, so the chain mail on his back was taut on his back, so when he was hit by the arrow, the tip of the arrow really pierced into the back, but it was not deep, when he threw himself forward on the ground, the rebounded chain mail was brought out from his back, but in this way the wound was torn open, so he was now pale, plus a blood red on his back, it must have been seriously injured, and he didn't run.

When all the troops were withdrawn, they counted the 2 companies that were the main attackers, with 12 dead and 25 wounded, while Hoffman's 3rd company had 2 dead and 4 wounded, and the 1st and 6th companies that responded were only 15 wounded in total.

The casualties were very small, and the battle was not tragic, thanks to Don Quixote and Yu Wusheng, who fought a tacit battle for a morning, and of course, Don Quixote was deceived by Yu Wusheng. Yu Wuming simulated the effect of 500 people with 150 people on the city wall, and they naturally couldn't see Wallace and them so clearly in the distance, so they naturally didn't know that there were only 3 or 400 people at most.

Don Quixote watched from a distance as the troops withdrew, his hands clenched tightly, he only had 2,000 people in his heart, and the backup did not know when it would arrive, and the opposite side ......

If you want to be tough, it's okay, you can definitely beat down with so many people, but casualties are a big problem, what to defend if you fight down, and Salzburg also needs manpower to defend, which makes Don Quixote very entangled.

Xia Zuo said to Don Quixote on the side: "Chief, it seems that there are not as many people in it as you think!"

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Don Quixote.

"When we withdrew, the enemy did not send troops to the city to chop up, and no one rushed out to take advantage of the situation to kill for a while. Xia Zuo looked at the city wall in the distance and analyzed.

"Our retreat was still very orderly, and I think that's why they didn't send people to cover the back. Don Quixote muttered to himself, still thinking about what to do next.

"But if you don't go to the city, you can't figure it out. โ€

"Ahh

Xia Zuo shook his head, he knew that Don Quixote was a little retreating, although the enemy seemed to be a lot, but judging from the attack and defense just now, the number of enemies should not be much, as long as he was willing to rush with his life, it should not be difficult to take this small city pass, once this city pass fell, it was not difficult to fight down the back of Noyde, the difficult thing was how to defend it, if the reinforcements could come in time, the number of people was a little more, and it was not difficult to hold these places, I was afraid that they would come too slowly, and there were too few people.

The government army should also be mobilizing manpower, and now it depends on whose reinforcements come quickly, and I hope Brauciฤ‡ can help a little.

"Let's try again in the afternoon, judging from the attack just now, our protection is fine, those chain mails work surprisingly well, only more than a dozen people died, the rest are minor injuries, if we can attack a little more decisively, I think there is a good chance of defeating." Xia Zuo said.

"Okay, attack again in the afternoon, pass the order down so that the soldiers can rest well, and they must attack in the afternoon. Don Quixote said the first half to Xia Zuo, and the second half to Sancho, asking him to give orders to all the troops.

At the same time, an order was issued to Salzburg, requiring the delivery of 15 tower shields, and although the crossbow arrows in the city caused few casualties, there were still casualties.

In the rest camp, those who did not attack were listening to the people who attacked about the things to pay attention to when attacking, and many of them participated in the attack on the windmill village, and when they were in the windmill village, the nightmare of the first few rounds of attacks suppressed by crossbow arrows had not completely passed, and it had to be said that the soldiers of the second and third companies heard that they were the first wave of attack groups, and many of them were frightened and weakened.

Now that they had withdrawn from it, they found that the robes were still alive and kicking around them, and they could hardly believe it, how could this be?

But the facts are irrefutable, those who died, either in the face or in the neck, and those in the chest survived, only a few unlucky, and a few ribs in the chest were broken.

Suddenly, those who fell down and pretended to be dead after being hit by the arrow, a sense of shame filled their chests, and they had to attack in the afternoon, and they must wash away their shame in the afternoon.
