Chapter 454: Defeat Revealed
The sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, and the whole battlefield could hear it clearly, and the Norweed soldiers in front of them couldn't help but panic when they heard such a sound, and it was extremely dangerous to be attacked by the enemy no matter where they were.
General Brinville was still standing on the very central platform, and beside him were the top brass of the Western Road Jihadist Army, who had been on it for a whole day, worrying about the situation on the battlefield all the time.
Hearing this sound that was obviously the sound of horses' hooves, they couldn't help but feel ecstatic in their hearts, the Norwids had no horses, and there were no cavalry, and at this time, such a loud sound of horses' hooves sounded, it was obvious that the knights of the other holy war army had arrived.
They were like saved people who had fallen overboard, and their hearts were filled with ecstasy.
Prince Kirunde and the tribal leaders of Norweed were very ugly when they heard this sound, so they had to let the soldiers in the rear face the enemy in the rear, while the soldiers in the front continued to defend against the Western Jihad.
Encirclement is very good for encircling and destroying the enemy, but if it is a dignified war, or in the face of the situation in front of you, it is obviously the most disadvantageous formation.
Not only did it weaken the forces that were already superior, but it also wasted a lot of troops, after all, William's blow was only at one point, not to disperse his forces to attack all parts of the encirclement.
"Soldiers! All the soldiers! Our reinforcements have arrived! Our Holy Brothers have come to our aid! Let's attack! Crush these goddamn Norwidians! ”
General Brinville was already old, and although his voice was not very loud, the generals around him also reacted and began to shout loudly.
At the same time, commanders at all levels also conveyed these words to their subordinates, and for a while, the camp of the Western Road Jihadist Army was boiling, and they shouted feverishly: "Long live!" Kill all the Norweeds! ”
It was like a fanatic in the Holy Cult world, shouting loudly and rushing to heresy.
And although they are fighting for the Holy Father, what makes them feel this emotion at this time is the desire to survive.
In this way, without any fear, except for the soldiers in other places, all the soldiers of the Western Road Jihad Army rushed towards the place where the horses' hooves and shouts of killing came from, trying to crush the enemy wherever they came.
Fueled by the hope of survival, the Jihadists once again burst into unparalleled combat power, and they have completely abandoned all their skills and are all in a wide open and closed attack mode, swinging their weapons at the enemy who has been surrounding them, the Norwid soldiers.
The incomparably brutal battle began again, and the battle, which had begun to be low in intensity due to their exhaustion and low morale, became bloody again.
The blood splattered everywhere painted dark red paintings in the air, and the broken arms and scattered heads also became the embellishments of the paintings, making this strange painting under the dark night even more eerie and enchanting.
Prince Kirunde was not in the place where the knights and the Western Legion were attacking, after all, it was a circular encirclement, and he was still surrounded by the crowd.
But even so, the chaos spread to his neighborhood, and even the Norwids, who had not come into contact with the knight's charge, fled to both sides in a frightened manner, and they were almost irrational.
Such frightened Norvid warriors were not uncommon, and with a terrible howl of unknown words, they began to flee towards the two sections of the gap with a look of extreme fear, causing more broken soldiers.
In this way, while there was no greater confusion elsewhere, the gap had been torn open and was still expanding.
The encirclement is terrible for the enemy inside, but once it is torn open a gap, or facing the enemy from behind, it is a very wasteful formation.
If the enemy inside only attacks one point, you can gather your soldiers where and the encirclement will continue, but you don't know where the enemy from outside the circle will attack, and even if you know that he is going to attack that point, you can't react quickly.
Encirclement has almost no effect on those outside the circle.
"Damn! Hold it for me! ”
Prince Kirunde looked angrily at the affected and somewhat disturbed soldiers around him and shouted: "There is nothing to fear from the enemy! Hold it for me! ”
Under his control, the Norweed warriors finally stabilized initially, but the second wave of the knights' attack at the gap made the gap even larger, and the light cavalry also relied on their bows to keep the Norwids back, and the infantry pressed on both sides, and the arrows continued to pour in both directions.
This exposed the shortcomings of the Novode people's lack of training, imperfect command system, and excessive numbers.
Their subordinate and subordinate system is not perfect, many times it is the leader of a small tribe who personally goes to the battlefield, or a centurion, a commander such as a squad leader, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, and it is quite troublesome to command.
And they have almost no training, which leads to their execution of orders is not vigorous, coupled with the large number of people, it takes too much time to pass the order, more than twenty minutes have passed since William began to attack, and the enemy has not yet organized an effective counterattack due to the drag of three sides.
If it is the Denglenburg army, I am afraid that it will be able to organize for a long time at the first time of the enemy's attack, after all, the degree of training allows them to complete the orders arranged at a very fast speed, and the command system is also reported layer by layer, with a good subordinate relationship, and finally, the number of the Denglenburg army is not too large, not to mention that William has also established two command systems of flag and trumpet, which can quickly command the soldiers to make any tactical orders, which shows the gap in the quality of the two armies.
Under the onslaught of noble knights, hussars, and infantry, more Norwids began to flee in both directions.
Previously, the knight's charge was like a chisel, breaking through the enemy's formation, inflicting great losses and mental stress on the enemy.
But when it comes to completely crushing the enemy's encirclement, it requires the cooperation of infantry and other arms.
In this way, more Norwids began to flee to other places, causing the soldiers who were not too chaotic in other places to begin to become confused, and this chaos also made the already somewhat fearful of them begin to flee, and the journey began to break and flee, and the journey went into a vicious circle.
Prince Kirunde was furious and a little panicked, and he did not know how to deal with such a situation, after all, it was the first time he had commanded such a large army.
He could only shout desperately: "Steady! Don't be intimidated by the cowardly Loalds! A fleeing warrior will not be forgiven by the god of war! ”
But the so-called name of the god of war seems so powerless in the face of life, although there are many god of war fanatics who choose to go back to fight the enemy, the singular number is still unable to resist more warriors who want to flee for their lives, even if they do so they are more likely to die.
In this way, the Norwedian encirclement began to gradually become chaotic from the gap.
