Chapter 144: The Great Battle
The arrival of Basbar surprised the Franks, and even more so to Draguzorf. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because he sent his most elite Knights of the Holy Hammer to intercept the Babasbarn, since the Knights of the Hammer did not report their defeat, then how did the Babas Bahn come here?
At this point, Deguzolf thinks too simple about his opponent. Knowing that his intention was to hold him back, how could he stay where he was and fight the Knights of the Holy Hammer?
In fact, the method used by Bai Basbahn is very simple, to put it bluntly, there is only one sentence, that is, the sound of the east and the west. However, his voice is a little different from the general understanding of the sound of the east and the west-he first led the army to try to break through to the northwest, but in that direction it will only rush headlong into the control of the Frank army, so the Knights of the Holy Hammer were not fooled at all, and soon the Path army turned to infiltrate the northeast, and the Knights of the Holy Hammer adjusted their forces in time to nip the attempt of the Path army in the bud. But what the Knights of the Hammer did not expect was that Basbahn himself had broken away from the Knights in the process of feints to the northwest. In fact, no one would have believed that the supreme commander of the Paz army would willingly lead a very small number of troops directly into the area scattered with the Frankish army, which meant that Baibasbahn himself could be surrounded by superior Frankish troops at any time, but Baibasbahn took advantage of this preconceived notion to take an adventure. Because of his too risky approach, the result was to blind Frank's army and succeed.
Along the way, Baibasbahn did encounter several Frankish troops, but firstly, all the cavalry guards he led, and secondly, the other Frankish troops did not expect that the commander of the enemy army would run in front of them, they only regarded Baibasbahn's troops as Paz's rangers, and since it was difficult to pursue, they simply gave up the pursuit. It wasn't until Babas Barn unfurled his banner on the battlefield that it dawned on everyone that the result was a blow to the morale of Frank's army and a boost to Path's army far beyond expectations.
"Annihilate this enemy army! It doesn't matter what the cost! This was the first reaction of almost every Frank front-line commander. This reaction can be said to be inevitable, because the commander of the enemy army has only a small escort force, so directly beheading him is obviously a move to exchange the minimum cost for the maximum result. But at this time the commanders did not act wisely, because they ignored one factor, and that was the fighting ability of Basbahn himself.
The first Frank 1,000-man team to attempt to surround Baibasbahn was killed by more than 100 men in the first assault alone, and among the 100 lost was the captain of this thousand-man team, the escort led by Baibasbahn was also the best of the Paz army, and their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of ordinary armies. As a result, the army was instantly defeated and began to retreat.
Seeing the rapid defeat of the friendly forces, the fighting spirit of the Franks was fully aroused, and they cursed the incompetence of the friendly forces while repeating the mistakes of the friendly forces. In just half an hour, the commanders of the three Frank detachments became lonely souls on the battlefield. Babasbarn, on the other hand, roamed the battlefield under the cheers of the Billiudas army, skillfully avoiding the large Frankish army, and then constantly killing the small group of enemy troops, so that the defeat of the Frankish army created a precious time and space gap for himself.
Even Deguzorff was amazed by the battle of Basbarn, and the man who had been on the battlefield all his life had a new level of respect for the opponent in front of him: Deguzorf certainly did not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill the enemy commander, but unfortunately his maneuvers for this purpose were all in vain due to the blind movement of friendly troops on the one hand, and the sharp intuition and quick reaction of Baibasbahn on the other. For the first time in his military career, he saw a person who could not only control the battlefield situation strategically, but also be at ease at the tactical level, and his martial arts had also reached the point of perfection, such a person turned out to be his enemy, which made Deguzorf sigh that fate played on him.
By this time, the reinforcements of the Paz army had arrived on the battlefield, and Baibasbahn immediately broke free from the entanglement with the enemy army and returned to his own camp.
At this point, the battle of Nisher Village entered the second stage. The situation between the two sides changed from the Frank army's leisurely efforts to seek various breakthroughs, and turned into an all-out main battle.
Returning to the command, Baibasbahn was not in a hurry to free the Billiudas army, because if the Frankish army did not take the initiative to lift the siege, it would consume a considerable number of troops there, which would make the numerical advantage of the Paz army more obvious.
At a disadvantage, D. Guzorff took more active military action - he had to buy time with constant attacks so that he could mobilize all the troops in the rear for the battle.
At first, Deguzorf tried to use the tactic of a central breakthrough, but this intention turned into a self-defeating net in the face of the wedge formation of Baibasbarn; Deguzorf immediately changed the focus of the attack and turned the direction of the main attack to the left flank of the Paz army, during which the enemy's front change of formation and formation linkage were amazing, but unfortunately the use of troops by Baibasbahn was faster, he commanded the left flank of the Paz army to retreat accordingly, and formed a diagonal formation with the forward to attack the Frank army, so that the Frank army's attempt not only did not succeed, but suffered heavy casualties; Immediately afterwards, Deguzorf formed a pincer offensive in an attempt to tear a piece of flesh from the formation of Paz's army, but Basbahn strengthened the defense on both flanks in time, causing the fangs of the Frankish army to crack in vain.
Needless to say, in later generations, even at the time, the commanders of the two sides of the battle called it a textbook offensive and defensive drill, and many of the young soldiers who survived this battle became celebrities who commanded the army in the future. Although none of Deguzorf's attacks worked, everyone knew that if the opponent had been replaced by someone else, the Paz army would most likely have been completely defeated, and the Frankish army would have triumphed.
Due to the failure of the repeated attacks and the exhaustion of the Frankish army, Deguzorf had to withdraw his troops and the army besieging Biludas in order to regroup. Accordingly, Basbahn did not let the Paz army, which had been rushing from a long distance, do any more work, and his troops were in dire need of rest. After two full days of intense fighting, the two sides temporarily maintained a truce.
