Chapter 1210: Gathering of Storms
At this moment, a silver streamer appeared under the northern dome, and their speed was slow, but when they showed their full faces, they suddenly increased their speed, and suddenly thousands of horses galloped, and they rushed towards the Germans who were attacking the defensive line with overwhelming momentum, and the Germanic infantry in the northernmost part fell like a piece of wheat. The cavalry appeared, and the pressure on the infantry suddenly decreased.
Wagtrey secretly scolded angrily, the hateful Oriental, he was really too bearable, he didn't show his head before, but rushed out when the defense line was about to collapse. Groups of cavalry, phalanxes, looking at the cavalry group that covers the sky and the sun, I am afraid that all the eastern cavalry near the city of Kyiv are coming. I have to say that the Eastern Cavalry was very accurate in timing, at this time, in order to completely break through the defense line, almost all the infantry pressed up, and the two sides fought together, and it was difficult to make changes in a short time. Wagtelley was a little afraid, but he still maintained his composure, and there were more than 5,000 cavalry in his hand, and he didn't dare to say anything about repelling the eastern cavalry, but with a large number of infantry, it was absolutely no problem to block the opponent's offensive. As soon as the flag changed, the Germanic soldiers surrounding the line reacted quickly, and they slowly formed a line of defense on the flanks. A diamond-shaped shield is stacked up, slowly turning into a shield city wall, the same cavalry charge, the Germanic defense line is much weaker, due to limited resources, the Germanic people build mostly wooden shields, this kind of shield is very dexterous, the protective area is also large, but the frontal protection force is too much worse than the heavy iron shield, the cavalry gun of the Dingguo Army took into account the problem of breaking the shield, the spear head is thick and heavy, plus the impact of the war horse, the huge impact force bombarded up, only to hear a click, A wooden shield was smashed to pieces, and then there were many gaps in the entire shield array, and as soon as the flaws came out, the heavy cavalry spears directly began to cut, and the chain horses behind cooperated with the split formation, and in an instant, the infantry formation formed by the Germanic people in a hurry appeared countless cracks, and under the impact of the cavalry of the Dingguo Army, it became crumbling. Most of the cavalry of these Dingguo Army were Eastern faces, but there were also many tall and mighty Slavs, and under the leadership of the cavalry of those ancient towns, this huge and complex cavalry became orderly and orderly, and there was no such unfamiliar situation. Wagtrey was curious, why did Dolle train for half a year and not be able to practice this effect?
The battle continued, once the ancient town cavalry gained the advantage, they did not give the Germanic infantry a chance to breathe, at this time the entire long phalanx had been cut into several pieces, the Germans were not willing to be defeated like this, and tried to regroup, and the light cavalry cruising outside was directly a rain of arrows. These Germanic infantry were not heavy cavalry, they had no heavy armor protection, and there were not too many shields, and the rain of arrows fell from the overhead, and many people were crucified in an instant, and the phalanx that was still assembled was suddenly shattered. The attack of the cavalry in the ancient town was fast and ruthless, from the heavy cavalry assault to the light cavalry roundabout outflanking, not even a quarter of an hour was used. If there is no accident, this Germanic infantry will inevitably perish, but Wagette is not surprised, the infantry is just resisting, and it is those Germanic cavalry who can really exert their power. A few thousand cavalry came diagonally from the south, and the ancient town cavalry had to divide up their forces to deal with it, so that there were less than 4,000 men left who could deal with the Germanic infantry. Four thousand cavalry, which seems to be a lot, can really be sprinkled on a huge battlefield, and the role it can play is very limited. The heavy cavalry built by the Germans has moved over and dragged the ancient town cavalry who came to the rescue, and the remaining ancient town cavalry has been fighting with a large number of Germanic cavalry.
Thanks to the addition of cavalry, the entire battlefield has almost doubled, and the vast Kiev plain is full of shadows of battle, and everyone is fighting for survival. The Dingguo army only used the second military camp, but the Germans mobilized heavy troops, and for a time they were evenly matched. The fierce battle was raging, blood became the cheapest color, the crimson rendered the entire plain, and the withered blades of grass seemed to be infused with some kind of magic, exuding bloodthirsty coldness. The autumn wind swept between heaven and earth, and the smell of blood filled the surroundings. Two hours later, there was a gap in the infantry formation on the right flank, and as the Germanic heavy cavalry freed up their hands and concentrated their attacks, the pressure on the entire right flank increased dramatically, and the Germans also took the opportunity to throw the accumulated bows and arrows, and the rear suffered heavy casualties. An army is like a huge whole, if there is a problem in one place, it will be infinitely expanded, the Germanic heavy cavalry rushed into it along the gap, this time the Dingguo army no longer had the ability to plug the gap, and the ancient town cavalry at this time was also pinned down by the Germanic cavalry, and it was impossible to rescue in time. Finally, the defensive line, which had been held for nearly three hours, crumbled, and the Germans poured in along the gap, and the line was divided into two. By this time, the Dingguo army was already showing fatigue, and if it did not respond, then the soldiers and horses that had been divided to the south would inevitably be trapped by the Germans and annihilated.
Suddenly, the whining horn sounded, and the Dingguo army in the south, with its shield hands behind, slowly retreated, while the cavalry of the ancient town, which had fallen into the quagmire, regrouped and began to retreat north. Behind the shield army, after a slight retreat, the Germans pressed on it in a big way, and at this time the longbow projectile that had not been used by the Dingguo army began to exert its power, and the rain of arrows fell on the pursuing crowd along the whistling autumn wind, and all the others were met head-on except for those heavy cavalry. A rain of arrows fell, heavy casualties were inflicted, and the Germanic pursuit slowed down. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the Germanic cavalry pursued the victory, and the time was about to pass, and the day's battle was over. Wagtre is a very ambitious man, he has long seen that Bysel is a little unpleasant, and with today's victory, look at what Bysel has to say. For the Germans, this day of battle was undoubtedly a great victory, after a hard battle, not only broke the southern defense line of Kiev, but also killed more than 3,000 enemies, while their own losses were less than 4,000. The Germanic warriors could be on the attacking side, and the opponent was still a strong defensive infantry formation, at least not before, when the Germans had never won such a victory.
In the evening, when the various departments were cooking in pots, Wagtrey walked into the tent with his head held high, and looked at Bysil with mockery in his eyes. Bysel didn't feel good in his heart, today's battle, Wagtre personally commanded, and repelled the army of the Orientals head-on, without the slightest trick, and the Orientals did not have the slightest intention of feints, could it really be that they thought too much. But subconsciously, Baisel still felt that something was wrong, when did the Oriental people become so vulnerable?
"Lord Bysil, do you still think the Orientals have a conspiracy? Today, the fight is so fierce, if the Orientals have a follow-up move, why don't they use it? The defensive ability of Kyiv City is inherently insufficient, even if the Orientals are strong and have sufficient troops, it is not so easy to defend Kyiv City like an iron bucket" Wagtrey looked arrogant, but no one could say that he was not, but they had just won a big victory. Bysel was not in the mood to bother with Wagtre, what the hell was he thinking about now was that the Easterners were trying to break down the southern defense line and then approach Kyiv City directly, would the Orientals so easily expose Kyiv City to the attacks of the Germanic warriors? After thinking about it, Baisel still decided to wait and see, and then said, "Lord Wagtley, although the Oriental people were defeated today, their overall strength was not greatly damaged, and I don't know if you have noticed that tonight's Eastern cavalry is all exposed to our field of vision, and it appears in a concentrated manner, as if it was deliberately made for us to see." Everyone knows a little bit about the basic use of cavalry, the cavalry is good at running, roundabout, the most taboo is to rush up in a swarm, cavalry to kill, to pay attention to strategy. In the jungle of Qiusuming, 20,000 Oriental cavalry, attracting, reinforced, raided, ambushed, attacked, but this time, it was rushed up directly, and there was not even a little backhand. ”
Wagtre also frowned a little puzzled, he didn't fight the Eastern cavalry much, it was limited to skirmishes, but what Bysel said was still very reasonable. Wagtre itself comes from a cavalry family, and has a lot of research on the use of cavalry, cavalry pays attention to flexibility and changeability, and the attack must be as fast as the wind, and every cavalry general will not scatter all the cavalry in his hand in one breath, and will always hide a part of the troops, so as to achieve a combination of virtual and real. On the other hand, the behavior of the Orientals today is really a bit abnormal, and Wagtelley is a little disgusted with Bysil, but he is not blindly opposed, "In this way, the Orientals should still have ambush soldiers?" But near the city of Kiev, there are only about 10,000 cavalry, and even if the Orientals have great ability, it is impossible to conjure more soldiers and horses out of thin air. ”
Cavalry is different from infantry, in an emergency, you can pull out a bunch of infantry by directly pulling some young and strong men with weapons, but cavalry is different, and it must go through a period of training. The infantry got on the horse directly, and it was estimated that they couldn't even ride the horse well, and they said that they would kill the enemy and cooperate.
Basil didn't know what it was, but a voice kept telling him that he had to be careful. Fingers tapped on the low tabletop, the bowl of steaming water had become cold, I don't know how long he thought about it, he frowned, and said with a serious expression, "Anyway, we will be careful that there will be no problems." We can't go on according to the plan of the Orientals, we must take the initiative into our own hands, since the Orientals are retreating in the direction of the city of Kyiv, then let's simply go the other way. There may be a trap near the city of Kyiv, or maybe not, the variables are too great, so let's just turn around and hit it hard. ”
With that, Bysel clenched his fists and smashed it down hard somewhere on the map, and everyone leaned over to take a look, all of them were stunned by Bysel's thoughts, "Missoda City?" This.... Abandon the city of Kyiv and attack the city of Messouda ...."
Many of the Germanic nobles were stunned, they really couldn't understand how Baisel could think of such an idea. Although the city of Misuta is holding the banks of the Khakiwell River, its strategic location is much worse than that of Kyiv, and the risk is also very large, "Lord Bysil, we turn around and attack the city of Missuda, it is not a big problem, but what if the eastern army stationed near the city of Kyiv pounces from behind?" ”
"Is this the problem? What are we afraid of, not a decisive battle with the Eastern army, but a trap near the city of Kyiv, and if the Easterners catch up, it will not justify our wishes? If they don't come, we will take down the city of Mesoda, if they dare to come, they will directly line up halfway and start a decisive battle, the initiative is in our hands, we can fight as much as we want" Bysel also knows that the city of Mesouda cannot be compared with the city of Kiev, but no matter how small the fly is, it is meat, and it can always resist hunger when it eats in its mouth. The most important thing is that it is possible to muddy the situation near the city of Kyiv and take the initiative to start a war. Attacking the city of Kyiv step by step as before, although it is peaceful, the initiative is not in your own hands.
At this moment, even Waggetre could not refute it, Bysel's idea was indeed insightful. The next day, the Germanic cavalry at the southern end of the city of Kiev aggressively attacked, but half an hour later, all the Germanic armies quietly retreated, nearly 30,000 Germanic troops, under the cover of the cavalry, the target was directly aimed at the city of Mesoda, at this moment, the Germans seemed to really control the entire battlefield.
In the base camp of Kyiv City, a military report was sent to the Teginets Manor like snowflakes, and Zhao Yougong, Xiao Zhiyun and others sat in the manor castle and kept paying attention to the changes on the battlefield. When he learned the news of the retreat of the Germanic army, Zhao Yougong finally showed a bit of solemnity, "It seems that the Germans are not stupid at all, and if they retreat, the plan we have formulated to spread the net on all sides will be in vain." ”
Xiao Zhiyun also sighed with some pity, the previous defeat and retreat was to lead the Germanic army deeper, and then the first military camp copied it from behind, and the second military camp cooperated with the Ruifeng battalion and the garrison of Kyiv City to press it head-on, so that all the Germanic army could be compressed within the southern range of Kyiv City. Now that the Germans have retreated, things have become a little tricky, "Why did the Germans retreat?" Is it for the city of Mesoda? ”
"Their target may not really be Mesouda City, it is estimated that they feel that something is wrong with the situation and want to use this method to transfer us out, hum, these Germans really think that they will eat this king. With such a large-scale march, it is estimated that the direction of the city of Mesoda has already received the news, and what we have to do is to press up from the rear, and now the Germans are full of minds about a decisive battle with us, and they would not have thought that Yang Shaolie would take the initiative to abandon the city of Mesoda. The Germans suffered a secret loss in the Ryazan River, but they didn't expect to learn a lesson, this time they have to jump into the same pit, and the king will fulfill them" Zhao Yougong was secretly ruthless, the Germans played these false and real methods, full of deception and ambush, but they didn't think about one point, that is, Yang Zaixing's army may take the initiative to abandon the city of Mesoda, "Enough, send a letter to Jerusha's side, the army of Vilnius City can move, order Jerusha's department, be sure to approach the direction of Psk City in three days, Attract the Great Germanic Army stationed east of Psk. ”
Zhao Yougong's trick is not clever, he used it once in Psk City, leaving Psk City to the Germans, but killing a large number of elite cavalry of the other party in the Ryazan River, this time it was just a repetition of the old trick. Maybe this is the will of God, according to common sense, even if Zhao Yougong can set up a game, it is impossible to use the same means to trap people, if you want to blame, you have to blame the Germanic people for being smart. An urgent military order was sent to Vilnius, and the 1st and 2nd military camps stationed near Kiev were quickly assembled, forming an army of 25,000 men and beginning to pursue the Germanic army. The Dingguo army assembled and pursued with great fanfare, without thinking about hiding and tucking it away, Sanniang personally led the cavalry to copy it from the north, and soon collided with a small group of men and horses of the Germanic army.
Bysel did not expect the Orientals to be so bold in pursuit, but he did not stop immediately, but led the Nationalist army with more than 2,000 cavalry, and the army continued to retreat south, and finally organized a tight defensive line in a place called Cen Wei Pok. This time, Germain made up his mind to teach the Orientals a heavy lesson to Cen Weipok, and none of the Oriental armies that came to pursue him wanted to escape. Akulture is the leader of the scout team in charge of finding out the news, and his most important duty is to grasp the movements of the Eastern cavalry, "Lord Bysil, the cavalry of the Eastern people has crossed the Black Poplar Forest, and it is less than an hour away from our department. ”
