Chapter 333: Smooth retreat
Heaven and earth were slaughtered, and there was not even a single creature around the battlefield, and they seemed to be able to sense that the dead souls were silently watching their corpses, unable to disperse for a long time.
The bloody atmosphere spread around, and the king's army was much easier because William and the three of them came to support, and more than half of the enemy's forces were divided.
"Boom!"
There was another roar, similar to the sound of the knights colliding before, the only difference was that there was no neighing of dead horses.
The sword and shield infantry put the big shield in front of them, and then rushed forward with a trend of Mars hitting the earth, the front row was full of such sword and shield infantry, and the front enemy could only see a big shield running towards them.
Under such an impact, the enemy's formation, which had begun to be slightly scattered, could not be compared, so they fell to the disadvantage in this round of impact.
Then, one by one, the enemies were knocked away by the sword and shield infantry, and then the spears in the hands of the pikemen were like vicious poisonous snakes, stabbing at the enemy with such speed that people could not react.
This is the combat quality of the Denglenburg infantry, who has been trained hard for four or five years.
"Ahhh Save me! ”
One enemy had two spears and a sword pierced through his chest, and he was attacked by three Denlenburg infantry.
The heavy infantry, at this time, was also lined up in two columns, standing in front of two of the Denlenburg infantry.
This time, instead of fighting in small groups of five, they lined up in a neat array to respond to enemy attacks.
At this moment, they are like a kind of ace soldier of the Tang Dynasty in the history of the Celestial Dynasty in William's previous life, the Mo Sword Soldier.
The battle axe in his hand is like a heavy and sharp knife, constantly slashing forward.
Now their attack methods have also begun to be single, after all, there are still comrades around them, and such a wide opening and closing action is no longer possible
Therefore, they all talk about the tomahawk being lifted high and then falling heavily by borrowing the weight of the tomahawk.
And this kind of attack pattern means that their enemies will definitely not feel good.
In fact, Banstesk stretched out his heavy armor and wore a horned helmet on his head, and led the heavy infantry to begin a bloody slaughter.
The battlefield meat grinder is no longer a metaphor for them, but a real meat grinder.
On the side of the Denglenburg infantry, it was not uncommon for the enemy to be stabbed through, blood splattered from the internal organs, or severed heads and arms.
But here, not a single corpse of the enemy is intact.
The weight of the tomahawk is terrifying, and with the blessing of the strength of the heavy cavalry itself, the weight of the fall is even more terrifying.
When it is slashed at a person's body, it is almost a cut in two, and in previous battles, there were many people who were split in half from head to toe.
But that was no match for now, and as the enemy continued to come up, the heavy infantry had to wave their tomahawks up and down all the time.
As a result, several tomahawks are often slashed at a person's body, blood splattered everywhere, and mutilated limbs are piled on the ground.
It is impossible for the enemy to stop attacking like this, so their movements must continue.
In this way, the remnants of their arms were severed, and the mutilated corpses were chopping under the tomahawks, and after a while, they were even split into a mixture of blood and flesh.
This land may be grateful to the hoplites, because of them, the land may become fertile for years to come.
In this way, the battle was in full swing, both sides were in a stalemate, and William's army was strong in battle, but not as many as the enemy.
Although the number of enemies was large, the combat effectiveness was still incomparable with the Denlenburg infantry.
In this way, both sides are losing soldiers at a rapid rate of 3 to 1 or even 4 to 1 battle losses.
However, at this time, the morale of the enemy army began to decline a little, and William's Denlenburg infantry, because of the strong fighting spirit and the confidence brought to them by training, were still fighting the enemy vigorously.
William looked at the brutal battlefield in front of him, and couldn't help but start to think a little cautiously, if the casualties were greater, he would be opportunistic.
However, he will not just flee from the battle, if this war is completely lost, his Denlenburg will not be better, and the enemy's army will definitely come to Denlenburg to wreak havoc and cause great damage to the territory.
Moreover, William does not want to fight the enemy, as long as he allows King Brolin to return to the royal capital with the army smoothly, then the army of the White Rose Kingdom will immediately move out to help King Brolin.
At that time, the danger will not be as great as it is now.
"General Yousen, the enemy's soldier offensive is not so violent, what should we do next? Do you want Earl William and them to cooperate with us in fighting back? ”
Since the situation had stabilized, Viscount Muyon dropped his command from the front and rode his horse to the rear of the troops to ask General Yousen for advice.
After hearing this, General Yousen pondered for a moment, and then said: "No, our top priority now is to return to the royal capital as soon as possible, send His Majesty back safely, and receive more proper treatment as soon as possible!" ”
"Moreover, the enemy's retreat in the face of our army is obviously due to the support of Count William! They should be trying to concentrate their energies on Earl William, Count Suttle, and Count Creman in their rear! ”
Twisting his slightly whitened beard, General Yousen swore that "the enemy's morale may not be as high as before, but their numbers are still there, and if we really want to launch a siege, it will definitely cause a full-scale attack by the enemy!" ”
"We should now conform to the enemy's will, since the enemy has not stepped up the offensive, we should first write out the troops, and then rule Earl William They also pull out, the most important thing is to preserve strength!"
As he spoke, General Yousen said, "Go and send someone to inform Count William, we will retreat first, and when we withdraw, they will also retreat immediately!" ”
And William, who received the news, couldn't help but have a pang on his face, and let himself take the other two counts to drag the enemy, that is, let the three of them face the attack of more than 30,000 enemy troops alone.
To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied, and he could feel the defensiveness of the royal family and King Brolin against him now.
By this time, General Yousen had already begun to run in other directions with part of his army, but he still left some soldiers to hold back the enemy.
And William, at this time, also began to prepare for retreat.
At the same time, the knights of both sides also divided the winners, and the equipment advantage of the knights of Dellenburg may not be very strong in the first round of charge, but it is undoubtedly evident in the horseback battle.
Even a little bit of equipment advantage is magnified many times at this time.
With the same weapon, the enemy can inflict damage on himself, but he can't hurt the enemy, what kind of blow is this, therefore, the situation on the battlefield gradually wants to be offset by the knights of Denglenburg.
