Although the number of cavalry in the White Peaks army was twice that of Steve's army, the hilly terrain that was not suitable for cavalry combat limited the combat power of the cavalry, and the geographical advantage that helped White Peak defeat Steve's cavalry force in the past became an obstacle to the White Peaks cavalry at this time.
Seeing that Steve's infantry army was about to form a numerical suppression of his own army, the decisive Bai Feng immediately withdrew all the cavalry under his command from the battlefield, trying to use seven squadrons of infantry to resist the enemy's all-out attack.
Steve, who had a slight advantage, allowed Hakufeng to withdraw six squadrons of cavalry, and while he surrounded Hakuho's infantry with ten squadrons of infantry, he used three squadrons of cavalry to block the retreat of Hakufeng's infantry troops.
It was expected that his own infantry would be surrounded by the enemy, or rather, the reason why Bai Feng withdrew his cavalry troops was to allow the enemy's infantry to rush up and surround his infantry.
The difference between the seven infantry squadrons and the ten infantry squadrons was not huge, and the position of Bai Feng's army was at the top of a small hill, and the enemy infantry surrounded by regiments of troops had almost completely negated their numerical superiority.
The Baifeng army, which had abandoned its original battle formation, had changed from seven independent circular battle formations to a complete circular battle array, and the sword and shield infantry, which was suitable for fighting in various terrains, had built a tight circular shield wall at this time to resist the enemy's frantic attack.
Steve's army flocked to the circular shield wall of the White Peaks army from all directions like a tidal wave, and the sword and shield infantry fought against the sword and shield infantry, the circular shield wall could play a far more role than Steve imagined, and his two attacks ended in failure.
As he continued to prepare for the third attack, Steve deliberately left a gap to the east of the White Peak Circle for his cavalry to launch a surprise attack, seven squadrons of infantry and three squadrons of cavalry, this time Steve did his best.
There were only five infantry squadrons left in the White Peak's army, and the range of the circular battle formation had been reduced to half of its original size, but the circular shield wall that had been waiting for it still stood as steady as a rock at the top of the hill.
Looking at the enemy troops at the foot of the hill who were adjusting their offensive formations, Bai Feng quietly moved to the cavalry unit behind the enemy infantry, still hiding motionless in a mountain col, which was just outside Steve's field of vision from the enemy infantry.
Steve's army, which was ready, soon launched a new round of attack, and when the enemy's infantry army quickly rushed up, Bai Feng's hidden cavalry troops finally moved, and they aimed at the rear of the enemy infantry, and launched an all-out charge.
By the time Steve noticed the movement behind him, his infantry army was engaged in a fierce battle with Bai Feng's infantry troops, and as soon as Steve was caught off guard, he was about to draw infantry to organize a defense, and the roaring cavalry had already killed his infantry.
Steve's infantry was squeezed between the circular shield wall and the cavalry charge, and suffered heavy losses before they even had a chance to defend themselves, and the death of a large number of infantry and the sharp turn of the battle situation made Steve, who wanted to fight hard, show a helpless wry smile.
With the loss of nearly five infantry squadrons and one cavalry squadron, Steve eventually withdrew only two cavalry squadrons and two infantry squadrons, while Bai Feng still had four squadrons of infantry and four squadrons of cavalry under his command.
In the face of the absolute numerical disparity, Steve's army, which barely stabilized the formation and did not completely annihilate the army, has actually lost the possibility of winning, however, Steve is not a person who easily admits defeat, even if there is no hope of victory, he has to fight until the last moment!
The counterattacking White Peak's army first pursued Steve's remnants with four cavalry squadrons, followed by four infantry squadrons, and Steve, who was now learning and using, occupied a small hill with two infantry squadrons and defended it on the spot with a circular shield wall.
Seeing that Steve copied the tactic he had just made, Bai Feng shook his head with a smile, this kind of defensive counterattack tactic is only suitable for use under the premise that the strength of the two sides is not large, and the current situation is not suitable for this tactic at all.
The four cavalry squadrons were all scattered by Bai Feng on the periphery of the small hill away from the enemy's defense, and the four infantry squadrons were the main force for Bai Feng to attack the small hill with all his strength, and he concentrated all his forces to storm a certain defensive line of the enemy's circular battle formation.
After only two minutes of fierce fighting, Steve's circular shield wall battle formation was broken by four infantry squadrons that attacked one of the enemy's three squads, and the enemy cavalry who wanted to launch a behind-the-back attack did not even have a chance to participate in the battle.
As soon as they found the traces of Steve's cavalry, the cavalry of Bai Feng's department, which was roaming around the periphery, surrounded them at full speed, and the cavalry fought against the cavalry no more fiercely than the infantry battle, and the casualties were even more heavy.
When Steve's last infantry squad was annihilated, the remaining army under Bai Feng's command was only one infantry squadron and two cavalry squadrons, and Steve, who fought to the last soldier, lost the battle but won the respect of all onlookers.
As soon as Bai Feng, who won the victory again, walked out of the secret room, he saw Steve who also walked out of the secret room on the other side, and the two walked towards each other quite tacitly, facing Steve's smiling face, Bai Feng spoke first: "You shouldn't use that tactic." ”
"Captain Bai Feng, when the battle situation is decided, it is useless what tactics I choose. Steve, who did not lose his demeanor because of losing the game, said in a firm tone: "So, I will choose the tactic of killing and injuring the enemy as much as possible to fight to the death!"
Hearing Steve say this, Bai Feng, who was quite emotional in his heart, stretched out his right hand and said, "Steve, you are even better than I imagined, and I believe that you will definitely become the mainstay of the Andriol Empire's army in the future!"
Steve, who was holding Bai Feng's right hand tightly, raised his head and laughed: "Haha, this is also what I have been striving for since I was a child!"
Bai Feng, who was smiling, said very sincerely: "I hope we can be friends for life!"
"We're friends, aren't we?" said Steve, smiling, jokingly, "Of course, if we meet on the battlefield one day, I'll try to defeat you and get drunk with you in the prisoner of war camp!"
"Haha, then I'll wait for that day to come!"
Steve, who restrained his smile, said very seriously: "A word is a certainty!"
"One word is a deal!" Bai Feng's answer was equally sonorous and powerful.
The conversation between Bai Feng and Steve was limited to the two of them, and although the students in the audience didn't know what Bai Feng and Steve were talking about, they knew that their demeanor was a model of nobility.
The warm applause that broke out in the audience was the best affirmation of Bai Feng and Steve, and Ida and Borg, who had finished the game early, were also in the crowd, and coincidentally, both of them had their eyes on Bai Feng instead of Steve.
The match between Ida and Borg was a collision between cavalry and infantry, and Borg, who was proficient in various infantry tactics, used infantry clusters against Ada's cavalry clusters on the plains, and the result was naturally annihilated by Ada's cavalry clusters.
A pure infantry cluster could not match a cavalry cluster of the same size in the plains, not to mention that the other party still had Princess Ida with rich combat experience, and Borg's defeat was completely expected by Bai Feng.
