Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Battle of Luohe Conquers and Defends!
Time goes back in time to before the Roland Knight charged.
Hannibal received orders from Allen to contain George VI's heavy cavalry. Hannibal did a good job, taking George VI's two thousand heavy cavalry around the outside, but after the Roland knights charged. The team that had come to drive Hannibal seemed to have given up on the operation, and only watched Hannibal from a distance, and no longer moved. The other 1,000 heavy cavalry turned their horses' heads as if they were about to rush back to the battlefield.
For such an unusual move, Hannibal was in his mind at the time, and he had already guessed George VI's intentions. As long as Hannibal's heavy cavalry could not return to support, then George VI was not going to leave him alone. Apparently George VI put the entire battle on the north side.
Thinking of this, Hannibal couldn't help but get anxious. Before the war began, Alan had negotiated with Hannibal to contain George VI's 2,000 soldiers. If you let those 1,000 heavy cavalry go back, it will definitely be a mortal threat.
Although his own troops were small, at this point Hannibal had to fight a wave.
And the way Hannibal chose not to drag the pace of the Knight George VI with his flesh, but to turn on the taunt mode. When Hannibal ordered a taunt to be directed at the other side, a thousand men began to insult Roland's knights in all sorts of outrageous and rude language. As for the specifics, I won't say much about it here.
And Roland's knights were not firstly believers in collectivism, not great warriors who would be willing to endure for the sake of George VI. Rather, it is a group of individualistic believers who have been brainwashed by the glory of knighthood.
Second, the knights had long been impatient with Hannibal's slippery hand. As the core of the war for a long time, these knights are now reduced to a janitor. If you want those mud legs to decide the outcome of a war, how can the glass hearts of these knights bear it. So when Hannibal began to taunt, the knights of Roland were immediately irritated.
Outrageous. Does the other party still have a little bit of knightly dignity? As a nobleman, even if you are a barbarian nobleman in the countryside, even if you have a life-and-death feud with the other party, you must always pay attention to your demeanor. What's more, a large part of Roland's knights are high-class nobles who are used to living a good life and have aristocratic cultivation?
If you dare to insult their family, it will be an eternal enmity of life and death.
So the thousand knights and another thousand people who were originally going to withdraw were angry. He couldn't help but roar at Hannibal and rushed towards him. Hannibal naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to fight with the other party, and when he saw the other party coming, he immediately turned around and fled.
So the 2,000 heavy cavalry that had originally come to drive Hannibal away were taken away by Hannibal. And the farther and farther. There are even plans to run out of the battlefield.
As for the 1,000-strong noble knights led by Leon on the other side, they didn't have this brain, and when they saw George VI's heavy cavalry charging at Allen, they really couldn't bear the temperament in their hearts. Ulla shouted and rushed towards George VI's flank.
And George VI's heavy cavalry, which had been on guard with Lyon's troops, naturally couldn't let Lyon succeed. So the heavy cavalry of the two sides engaged on the flanks.
The battlefield on the north side at this time. Leonardo rushed out from the north flank with the Essis commando, like a sharp dagger, and stabbed him into the soft underbelly of George VI's army.
After the last battle with Gavin, Leonardo seemed to have risen several levels in a row. The chain hammer in his hand is wielded vigorously, the movements are clean and neat, and every time the hammer goes out, it can bring up a piece of blood.
When encountering a spearman equipped with heavy chain mail, a hammer smashes his head and cracks his brain. The white and red splashed out. This bloody scene suddenly stimulated the serfs who had never seen the world into a state of disgust. Many people can't stand the feeling of nausea both mentally and physically, and they start retching to the end.
And this consequence. It was the assault soldiers who followed up and smashed their heads one by one.
With Leonardo's ferocious offensive, the Essis assault troops gradually broke through the defenses on the perimeter, believing that it would not be long before they could penetrate into the battlefield and integrate Augustus' army.
George VI was already a master of the six gods at this time, and in the face of Allen's sudden counter-encirclement, George VI, who had already sent all his troops, had no choice but to ask for help and open his mouth to John. "Mr. John, what should I do now!"
John frowned, and his heart was irritated. At this moment, his mind was full of questions, where did Allen's army come from, why was it so strong, how should he turn defeat into victory, and so on.
Hearing George VI's plea for help, John thought quickly. Now they can either wait for their knights to defeat the opposing heavy cavalry and kill them back, or they can expect the north flank to wipe out Augustus' army before Leonardo's forces can penetrate their encirclement. Then you can win in one fell swoop.
But at present, whether it is the duel of knights or the attack on Augustus, it is impossible to complete it in a short period of time.
Suddenly, John had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly said to George VI: "Since the other party has concentrated all its forces on the north side, then Allen's main formation must be empty. We've been attacking the town for a long time, and as long as we can conquer the town in one fell swoop, we'll be able to regain the upper hand!"
George VI was overjoyed and immediately ordered the troops on the west and south flanks to attack the town with all their might.
And Alan has to face this serious problem.
"Lord Duke, General Alexander can't resist anymore and retreats back." The heralds who came and went were always passing on information about the battlefield to Allen.
Alan didn't panic, and said calmly: "Order Alexander to abandon the defense on the south and west flanks and concentrate all his forces to defend the bell tower!"
"Lord Duke, you better leave, now that the town has few troops, if General Alexander can't resist it, I'm afraid we will be in danger."
"Shut up! If you dare to retreat again, I will kill you!" Eren shouted angrily, pulled out the knight's sword at his waist, and slammed it across the guard's neck.
The guards immediately knelt down in fright and pleaded guilty.
Alan ignored the guards, instead calmly continuing to give orders. "Signal. Inform Guderian!"
When Alexander received Allen's order, he left a group of soldiers behind to resist the swarming soldiers of George VI, and withdrew with the remaining hundreds of men to the town's bell tower.
The town's bell tower is built in the middle of the town. At the same time, a large open space was left around. At this time, the clearing was already surrounded by a gun array with Alexander commanding his soldiers. Inside, Robin Hood's remaining hundreds of crossbowmen.
In the face of the attack of 4,000 heavily armed spearmen and more than 5,000 conscripted serfs, it was not easy to hold out until now with only Alexander's 2,000 Esses phalanx soldiers and Robin Hood's 1,500 crossbow corps.
Alan gave the bell tower to Robin Hood's crossbowmen, and at this moment he himself took up his sword and stood downstairs.
Alexander was covered in blood, sweat and blood had long been mixed together. I saw Alan come to the side. Hurriedly said: "Lord Duke, it is dangerous here, you better evacuate to a safe place."
Alan patted Alexander on the shoulder. Regardless of the blood stains on his body, he gently wiped the blood off the armor with his own cloak, looked at the scars on Alexander's armor and smiled confidently: "Alexander, don't retreat." Victory is on the horizon. Wait. It's coming!"
Alexander looked at Allen's appearance of talking and laughing at the moment, and suddenly felt that his body was full of strength, and the soreness of the original tired muscles was gone.
Alexander clenched his fists and shouted, "Yes!"
Alan nodded, looked south, and said silently in his heart: "Guderian, it's up to you next." Don't let me down. ”
Guderian had been in ambush in the woods to the south early in the morning. According to the plan he and Allen had set, when George VI launched a general attack, he would fight from the south side. Straight back to George VI.
But hours had passed, and it had been a long time since the enemy attack had begun. Still haven't waited for a signal.
"General? Did the Duke forget to send a signal?" His soldiers began to worry.
"Don't talk a lot, otherwise the military order will be punished!" Guderian snapped. He would never allow the army's heart to be disturbed at this time, what an important task Allen gave him, he naturally understood in his heart that although Guderian was also anxious in his heart, he would definitely not show it to affect the army's heart.
And when the sun began to set in the west, Guderian found that the army on the south side seemed to have received orders, and all the troops began to march towards the town. Guderian knew that this was the time for a general attack. However, when he saw George VI's army attacking the town, the Essis phalanx soldiers who were originally defending at the intersection of the road gradually became unable to resist and began to retreat, Guderian also realized the crisis.
Finally, as everyone began to get nervous, wondering if something was wrong with Alan, the long-standing sound of the desolate horn finally came from the direction of the town.
Guderian quickly got up from the ground excitedly and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Soldiers, success or failure is here!" Launched! Kill with me!"
With that, he quickly jumped on his horse, raised his spear, and rushed out of the woods with a thousand Essis Rangers behind him, and then crashed into the crowd from behind the soldiers when George VI's army was unprepared.
The serfs at the back faced the charge of the cavalry, and they had no power to fight back, and they had no ability to block, so they could only be swept to the end like wheat harvested, and they fell down one by one.
And the changes behind him naturally quickly spread to the front, and soon the entire southern side of the troops were shaken.
At this time, Eren saw the morale and shouted, "This is the time, my warriors of Essis, show me your loyalty and bravery!"
The soldiers, inspired by Allen, roared in unison, and the momentum shook the army of George VI opposite.
Soon, under the encouragement of Allen, the Assis phalanx infantry exerted their last trace of strength, stabbing the spears in their hands with all their might, taking away the lives of people one by one. The large shield in front of him pushed away the enemies who occasionally came to him by avoiding the spear array, and little by little pushed the battle line back.
As Alan expected, the first to stand it was the troops on George VI's south flank. Squeezed one after the other, the soldiers in the middle of the melee finally retreated completely. In front of them were bloody spearheads, and behind them were a sea of cavalry. With no hope of survival, they finally crushed them, and they threw down their weapons, cried, and ran desperately out of the battlefield.
As soon as Guderian saw that the troops on the southern flank had retreated in one fell swoop, he immediately turned to the western flank. This is where the mobility of the light cavalry is manifested, quickly fighting out of the chaos, then re-lining and charging again.
The battle in the southwest was going on so fast that George VI and John watched with satisfaction as their armies entered the middle of the town, and the next they found that the armies on the south flank were beginning to retreat. The collapse of morale was like a contagion, and soon the army on the left also began to waver, and after a round of charges by Guderian, it finally reached the limit and collapsed.
"Damn it! How can he still have an army!" George VI was mad at this time, he did not understand that he had set up a plan to annex the kingdom of Ammousy with joy, but at the beginning of everything, he was dealt a fatal blow. A great sense of shame turned into anger and ignited the anger in his heart. He vented everything around him angrily, even pulling out the sword in his hand and slashing the ground.
John shook his head and sighed in his heart, Alan Ouranos, you won! I can't imagine that I can't fight you a little duke with the power of the Kingdom of Lorraine, it seems that LeBlanc has chosen the right person.
"Mr. John! You must have a way, right? You're a magician, do that magic again!" George VI looked at John with the last shred of hope and pleaded.
John shook his head, pushed George VI's hand away and said, "I'm sorry Your Majesty, there's nothing I can do about it."
"No, no! Your magic is so powerful, if you wave your hand, your enemies will die without a place to bury!"
"Your Majesty!" John yelled at George VI, calmed George VI and said, "Let's not say that I don't have the ability to do this, even if I help you win the battle against Ouranos, with your current strength, how long can you hold out when the Kingdom of Ammuxi comes to its senses?"
George VI stared blankly at John, his heart full of despair. Could it be that my hegemony is coming to an end before it has even begun? Why is this happening, obviously everything is planned.
John looked at the dead heart of George VI and persuaded: "Your Majesty, now give the order to retreat." In this way, some of the strength can be preserved. ”
George VI said with a wry smile: "All my soldiers are fighting, and if I withdraw now, I will be completely defeated."
"Does Your Majesty want to annihilate the whole army?" John asked.
Alas...... George VI sighed deeply, raised his hand, and finally gave the order. "Inform the whole army and retreat."
With the order to retreat, George VI's army was completely shaken. Those who were caught in the chaos of the battlefield could not notice any retreat at this time, there were more and more enemies in front of them, and the fatigue caused by the long battle was also constantly boiling their nerves.
Until one of them shouted, "Look! Wang Qi is retreating!" This shout was like water falling into a boiling pan of oil, and it immediately provoked a violent response.
George VI's soldiers were already in misery. In the face of the counter-encirclement of Allen's army, morale is getting lower and lower. Now that George VI had retreated, the heart of the glass shattered and exploded into pieces and fell to the ground. And along with their glass hearts shattered, there was their last shred of courage.
As the first person threw away his weapon, squatted on the ground holding his head and shouted surrender, like the wind blowing a wheat field, Hula suddenly infected more and more people to surrender.
"Win!" Allen looked at the countless soldiers in front of him who had given up resistance, and couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, wanton and arrogant! (To be continued.) )
