Chapter 143 Seven People Struggling on the Timeline

Upon hearing of the attack on Basbarn's main team, Deguzolf did not send his ace, the Knights of the Holy Hammer, in the direction where King Fadrin had been attacked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Deguzorff judged that the encounter between the two sides should have been accidental, but the sudden attack of the Fadlin department was definitely a feint. What Baibasbahn wanted to do most now was to concentrate his scattered forces, and if he was a general who would give up the entire battle for the sake of 20,000 men, then he would not be afraid. Therefore, Deguzorf immediately concluded that the attack of Baibasbahn was only a cover-up, and that his main force would definitely take advantage of the panic of the Fadrin to advance in a roundabout way and rush to relieve Bilyudas.

Later generations of war historians have highly praised Deguzorf's ability to judge in this battle, because he accurately grasped the possible course of action of the enemy based on his personal analysis of the enemy's main commander almost without any intelligence support, and this innate keen sense is simply miraculous.

Deguzorf judged that Baibasbahn's troops would not only bypass the line of sight of the Fadrin, but would also advance rapidly in a fan-shaped arrangement, which would not only have the advantage of avoiding the enemy's obstruction to relieve Bilyudas, but also make contact with the two Paz armies in the center in a shorter time, and try to concentrate their forces before they reach the battlefield. Therefore, the direction in which Deguzolf sent the Knights of the Holy Hammer to attack was also chosen just right, and the position of the regiment was precisely in the position of Baibasbar himself.

The key to Deguzorf's ability to make such a delicate arrangement was his knowledge of the terrain of the battlefield, and he calculated that the path taken by Baibasbahn was the closest to Billiudas of all the routes, and Baibasbahn would definitely use his prestige to cheer up the surrounded friendly forces, so as long as he blocked the Knights of the Holy Hammer at this point, he could hold Baibasbahn back. As long as he himself does not rush to the main battlefield, the other Paz generals have nothing to worry about.

The Knights of the Holy Hammer lived up to Deguzorf's expectations, and they stood in front of Baibasbar like a wall, and at this time, there were less than 20,000 men in the hands of Baibasbarn, and it was impossible to deal with such an elite Knights of the Holy Hammer. Even if he was as brave as Basparn, he would not be able to break through the Knights of the Holy Hammer, or even get rid of their entanglement.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Nishel, the Frankish army has been in an advantageous position, not only have they surrounded the Billiudas army, but the Frankish army has also gathered faster than the Paz army. But things are quietly changing, that is, Deguzorf is unable to completely break the fan formation of Baibasbarn, and while Baibasbahn himself is engaged with the Knights of the Holy Hammer, his troops have already made contact with the other two Paz armies, and the Paz army, which together exceeds 100,000 Paz troops, are advancing and attacking in formation.

As time went on, Deguzorf began to become anxious: the first thing is that since the beginning of the war, although the Billiudas division has suffered heavy losses, it has not been dead, and it has always stood firm in the face of the frantic attack of the Frank army, and the longer this siege and annihilation battle, the closer the casualty ratio of the two sides becomes, which is obviously very unfavorable to the Frankish army.

Then came the second bad news, King Fadrin, who had been attacked by the Paz army, was shot by a stray arrow in the scuffle, and the heavy armor caused him to break his left leg and four other ribs, and even worse, his lungs were punctured by broken ribs, and he was forced to withdraw from the battle. The Fadlin, which had lost its commander, was soon overwhelmed and was routed by the Paz army, losing nearly half of the 20,000 Frankish army, and the rest of the troops were scattered and fled, unable to form a combat force.

Although this small part of the defeat did not affect the entire battle situation, the news cast a shadow over Deguzorff's heart. At this moment, the main force of the Frank army has been basically assembled, but it has not yet gnawed off the Billiudas department, at this time it is really difficult to ride a tiger, if a part is left to continue to attack Billiudas, and the remaining forces are used to attack the middle army of the Paz army, then it is equivalent to dividing the troops to fight, which will only leave more opportunities for the Path army.

The balance of the battle began to tilt in favor of the Paz army - nearly half of the forces of Baibasbahn and the two armies in the center had joined forces and gradually approached the battlefield of Nischel.

When the news of the attack of the Paz army reached Deguzorf's ears, Deguzorf's heart was cold. At present, the total strength of the Frankish army on the battlefield has reached about 200,000, and after deducting the Fadlin troops that were defeated in the battle and the part that was consumed, there are still a little more than 160,000; The reinforcements of the Paz army numbered 140,000, plus 30,000 or 40,000 men from Biludas who were still in the middle of a fierce battle, and the ratio of the numbers of the two sides had begun to shift in favor of the Paz side. The problem now was that if the siege of Billiudas continued, the flanks of the Frankish army would be exposed to Paz reinforcements, and it was obviously unwise to use such a position to meet the enemy army. At such a moment, it is time to withdraw from the battle immediately, regroup and engage in a full-scale decisive battle with the Paz army.

I think so, but in reality, I don't necessarily have to do it. Because the Frankish army had been besieging Bilyudas's troops for a whole day, if they finally withdrew after a long siege, it would have a detrimental effect on the morale of the Frankish army, and after a day's siege, although Biludas still nominally retained thirty or forty thousand troops, his formation had become precarious. If a gap can be opened at this critical moment, it is possible to completely defeat the will of resistance of the Pas, and thus turn the tide of the battle! Whether or not we can hold on to the last blow at this juncture is often the key to the victory or defeat of the entire campaign, and even the entire war. There are countless examples of such battles in history, and whether they should be withdrawn or not is a moment when every commander has a painful choice.

At this moment, Düguzorff hesitated. He really needed to take down the Billiudas to boost his morale and turn the tide of the war, and compared to withdrawing his troops and maintaining the balance of power with the enemy, the temptation to gamble on a chance to win would always be as hard to resist as the best woman in the world.

And this hesitation of Decuzov in a sense determined the outcome of the entire battle of Nischel Village. When the dawn shone on the land again, Biludas was pleasantly surprised to find an army rushing on the southern horizon after a night of hard fighting, and the banner of this army was the one he had been waiting for for his lord Basbahn!
