Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Battle of the Gongge Plain (3)
In order to crush this attempt by Baibasbarn, General Guge concentrated 30,000 Paz cavalry, and he also kept 15,000 cavalry as a reserve in the rear of Honkoli, in order to prevent the cavalry of Baibasbahn's own cavalry from returning to his flank. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as long as the fifteen thousand cavalry contain the main team of Baibasbahn and let the Hongkeli army completely break the left flank of Badana's army, then it will be equivalent to dividing Baibasbahn and his other divisions, so that the Paz army can easily break through each and achieve the final victory.
But Guge miscalculated several things, the first of which was that he underestimated the combat ability of the Dadaran troops - the flank attack launched by Hong Keli's 30,000 cavalry failed to completely delay the momentum of Dadaran's attack!
Faced with the reality of being attacked by superior enemy forces on the flank, Dadaran did not hesitate to suffer casualties, and continued to launch a surprise attack on Guge's main position, which Guge did not expect. This was a total violation of common sense, or rather a suicidal act, and if he continued to fight like this, Dadaran's forces would be wiped out, but his own own army would probably suffer heavy casualties. At this time, Guge suddenly realized the reason for Dadaran's crazy move - he wanted to enter the formation as soon as possible, so that the Paz cavalry behind him would be blocked by his own troops and slow down the attack!
It was only at this time that Guge realized that his opponent was a fierce opponent, before he really didn't pay attention to this little-known young general, but now from his calm in the face of danger and the courage to fight frantically, Guge understood that this was like a rising star! In order to stop Dadaran's movements, he immediately mobilized the forces on the left and right flanks of his own formation to converge in the direction of Dadaran's attack, as long as he could block the opponent for a moment or three, Hong Keli's attack would tear Bataan's cavalry to pieces.
However, this was his second miscalculation, as this was what Basbahn wanted Dadaran to achieve. Due to the movement of the forces of the Paz Bun Formation, the distance between the two flanks and the left and right flanks was greatly widened, and it was at this time that the Bahn Bahn Formation moved.
But contrary to Guge's expectations, Baibasbahn did not take a roundabout attack, but fought through the gap between the center and the right flank of Bataana's army.
The defeat of Bataana's right flank was a real retreat, but it was also within Baibasbarn's calculations, and he used the passage vacated by the right flank retreat to launch a surprise attack. The Paz Army, who had originally poured into this gap area, became the first victims.
Babasbarn's sword was as soft and cold as the moonlight on a winter night, and with his unparalleled horsemanship and physical coordination, he smoothed the knife in his hand like silk, and gently rubbed it on the necks and joints of the Paz soldiers, which were not protected by armor, and it would have been a magnificent dance if it were not for the gushing blood and the flying severed limbs and heads. As the figure of Baibasbahn passed, the Paz army was cut through a blood-colored corridor. When the Paz soldiers awoke from the dancing sword, an indescribable fear gripped everyone's hearts, for they were horrified to find that not a single one of them had gone through two moves in front of Babas Barn before they died, all of them were killed with one blow!
In the face of this attack, which is like the reaper harvesting life, as long as the brain is still in his right, no one will be willing to stand in front of him. Baibasbar took the heads of four Paz commanders in succession, and still only used one move, at which point the morale of the Paz army collapsed. People flocked to both sides like crazy to make way for Baibasbahn, and the narrow passage suddenly became empty.
This was a completely natural reaction for the soldiers, but unfortunately they only did so for a few more moments, as the cavalry of Baibasbahn brandished their scimitars and turned the soldiers into headless corpses one by one. This was not a matter of cruelty, but he had to clear the passage so that the retreating right flank could reconnect with the center army in order to maintain morale, although he did not expect the right army to take on the task from the beginning, but he could not let them fall into a rout.
It wasn't that Gugg didn't notice Baibasbahn's movements, but he was in a difficult situation. Baibasbar has not yet broken through the junction of the left flank and the middle of the Paz army, Guge should be able to mobilize these two men and horses to attack each other, but Guge understands that this is self-defeating, because the coordination ability of the two teams is quite poor, I am afraid that not only can not prevent Baibasbarn's breakthrough, but also cause chaos between the two forces, it is better to maintain the existing offensive is more cost-effective. But then Gug had to consider what forces to use to stop Baibasbahn from attacking his own camp. Due to his previous miscalculation, he placed a valuable new force, 15,000 cavalry, on the far right flank, and now it seems that he is simply stupid. Now that Honkoli on the right was covering Dadaran's troops, it was an obstacle between this new force and Baibasbahn, and it was necessary to make a detour from the rear of the camp to mobilize this force. Even if this cavalry can be in place in time, it will be difficult for this formation to draw troops to form a joint force against Baibasbarn, because it has not yet been able to annihilate Dadaran's cavalry force, and this transfer of troops at this moment is simply a foolish act to give Dadaran a chance to breathe. So Gug decided to take a gamble, and he ordered the reserve of 15,000 cavalry to bypass his own camp and block in front of Baibasbahn to buy time, so as to wait for Honkoli to finish off Dadaran's troops before besieging Baibasban.
At this point, the battle of the Gongge Plains had the most chaotic scene, both sides were scrambling for time, and at this time the goddess of victory had not yet smiled at either side of the war.
After that, Baibasbar still broke through the formation of the Paz army with a broken momentum, but the first change in the battlefield appeared in the rear of the Badana army. Due to the successive attacks on the left flank and the main flank, only the troops of the center and right flank were left to withstand the attack of the superior Paz army. With the re-establishment of contact with the center and the encouragement of the swift assault of Baibasbahn, the right flank of the Bataanan army stabilized its morale and began to organize a more effective defense, and Hilmen began to feel the pressure. Originally, the troops he led were less than the other side, and they were weaker than the other side in terms of combat coordination, and it was entirely because of the low morale of the other side that he had the advantage, but now the morale of the right wing of the Badana army began to rise and the formation became thicker and stronger, and the weakness of Hilmen showed the prototype bit by bit, and the situation of the two sides began to show signs of reversal.
At this time, the commander of the middle of the Batana army, Arantlan, took an extremely bold action - a counteroffensive.
Originally only 30,000 men, Alantlan had been under heavy attack from an enemy nearly three times his size, so his men had suffered the heaviest losses since the beginning of the battle, and it was difficult enough to hold the battle line. However, it was the most unlikely that the offensive of the central army actually began to counterattack, which greatly surprised the Count of Xiubanor.
Arantrán took the lead, leading 3,000 death squads to rush towards the Paz army, and the Paz soldiers, who had not been able to figure out for a while, were beaten to the ground. Shubanor thought that Arantrán was just a heroic gesture to boost morale, but he was wrong, and when he found out that Arantran was actually preparing to throw the entire Central Army into an attack, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
