Chapter 321: Deng Zhixike Escaped
Cavalry is not infantry, can not stay in any position on the battlefield, if you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, you must let the cavalry not stop for a moment to move, once the cavalry is limited to maneuver, then its powerful lethality will also be lost, after stopping the combat effectiveness is likely to be inferior to the light infantry.
Because of the thick equipment on the heavy cavalry, they can still use the advantage of the equipment to resist for a while after being surrounded, but if the time is too long, it will not work, let alone kill the enemy, and the weight of the equipment alone can exhaust the knight to death.
Qin Dong led the two thousand soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army to rush and kill, because of Qin Dong's super spike as the arrow to kill, so the attack of the Royal Forest Army was very fast, they rushed into the enemy formation without stopping, and kept killing the right flank of Deng Zhixike, and they left corpses and blood everywhere they went.
Deng Zhixike's right flank was killed, but Deng Zhixik was not worried, his troops were twice as many as Qin Dong, and he sent his generals to lead troops to support the right flank while fighting, so Qin Dong had to turn his horse's head again and turn back to continue to charge, completely removing the threat of the left flank of the Fifth Army.
In the battle of about a quarter of an hour, the casualties on both sides are rising sharply, from the perspective of combat effectiveness and equipment, the combat effectiveness of Deng Zhixike's army is obviously weaker, and the casualties of the soldiers are much larger, if it is not for Qin Dong's fifth army is the first time to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that in this battle, Deng Zhixike's army will have to be defeated and scattered.
Now in the battle, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion have adapted, and after such a long time of training, they have finally had an effect, and they finally have a chance to verify their physical fitness and fighting skills. After some initial panic, they finally stabilized their feelings and began to show their true strength.
In the first wave of ramming. The first few rows of soldiers in Deng Zhixike were almost wiped out, and the ability of the heavy cavalry to charge into battle was too strong, but after the charging power of the heavy cavalry disappeared, and the soldiers under Deng Zhixike were all veterans with very rich combat experience, they immediately stabilized their positions, which made the heavy cavalry phalanx that had just experienced the war fall into the military formation.
However, Qin Dong rushed up with the Imperial Forest Army in time to attack Deng Zhixike's right flank, so that Deng Zhixike had to disperse his forces to support. The heavy cavalry phalanx trapped in the formation gave a chance to breathe, and the archers kept attacking the rear personnel of Deng Zhixik at a long distance on the left flank of Deng Zhixik, causing heavy casualties to Deng Zhixik's army. Now the two sides are almost evenly matched, and it is impossible to see who has the advantage for the time being, but the Imperial Forest Army led by Qin Dong has strong combat effectiveness, and it is rushing back and forth on the left flank. There was almost a layer of corpses on the ground.
Just when the war is scorching. Suddenly, there was an overwhelming sound of horses' hooves from the left, and Deng Zhixike, who was in the middle of the battle, solved a soldier with a knife and turned his head to look, only to see a large number of cavalry rushing from the left direction, and these cavalry rushed at high speed, like a huge hammer smashed into his right waist.
Tolon's Third Legion arrived, and they attacked without the slightest pause, and an entire legion, Deng Zhicik's right flank was instantly dented. The forward heavy armored iron cavalry of the Third Legion cut Deng Zhixike's army formation into two sections in just one time, and at the same time relieved the heavy armored cavalry phalanx of the Fifth Legion trapped in the formation.
The heavy cavalry phalanx of the 3rd Army entered from the right flank of the Deng Zhixik army. Fighting from the left flank, the heavy cavalry of the Fifth Legion trapped in the formation also withdrew from the battlefield from the right with the passage they had carved out, while the light cavalry and archers behind the Third Legion roamed away while shooting arrows, and the heavy cavalry in the retreating formation turned around on the right side of the battlefield and attacked the left flank of Deng Zhixik's army again.
Deng Zhixike himself was trapped in the middle of the Fifth Legion and couldn't get out, when he saw the corpses of the Heavy Armored Cavalry Regiment of the Third Legion running over at one time, and saw them turn back again to impact his own army formation, he couldn't help but be heartbroken, he desperately brandished his scimitar, but there were too many cavalry of the Fifth Legion of Qindong around him, he was surrounded in the middle, and there was also the general Alfard who had been greeting him with weapons and restraining him, so that he couldn't leave if he wanted to.
After Qin Dong took the Imperial Forest Army back and forth to kill a few times, when he saw that the Third Army was killed, he withdrew to the side with the Royal Forest Army, so as not to block the third Army's rush to kill, after withdrawing from the battlefield, Qin Dong reached out and touched the dirty blood on his face, observing the situation on the battlefield, he found that after the Third Army came over, Deng Zhixike's military formation was already fragmented, and the soldiers in the rear obviously began to be timid, and he immediately said to the people around him: "Quickly pass on the military order of this king, All the archers and light cavalry of the Third and Fifth Legions surrounded Deng Zhixik's army from the left and right flanks, and the heavy cavalry of the two legions all withdrew to the front of Deng Zhixik's army to attack, and after arriving with the guards and iron cavalry, let them wander around the periphery, and once they found that Deng Zhixik broke through the encirclement and escaped, they immediately intercepted! ”
"Understood, King!" One of the guards immediately took out a trumpet and began to blow the trumpet, and then another guard took out two small flags and waved them to convey orders.
After the order was passed down, there was a change on the battlefield, and the light cavalry that had been fighting stopped and withdrew from the battlefield very quickly and in an orderly manner, while the archers provided them with long-range bow and arrow cover, which deterred the pursuing Deng Zhixik army.
Soon, the remnants of Deng Zhixike's army were sparsely sandwiched between the light cavalry and archers of Qin Dong's Third and Fifth Legions, and at this time, the two heavy cavalry phalanxes that had already made a bend had already set up an offensive position opposite Deng Zhixike's army formation.
Deng Zhixik and his generals had also realized that they and their army were in a very disadvantageous position, and that any army would be crushed or even annihilated if they were caught in the middle and the heavily armored iron cavalry was ready to charge on the opposite side.
"Da Danyu, we are surrounded, let's break through quickly, if we don't break through, it's all over!" A man with a bloody face screamed.
Another commander of a thousand units chimed in: "Yes, Da Shan Yu, leave a useful body, we still have a chance to rise again, otherwise we will all die here, please Da Shan Yu immediately order a breakthrough!" ”
Why didn't Deng Zhixike know that to stay here any longer would be to wait for death? It's just that he was unwilling to be defeated by Qin Dong, a former slave, so he returned to Oman with the remnants of the defeated army, and even if he returned to Oman, he couldn't hold Oman with his current defeat.
"Ahh Deng Zhixik screamed, venting the anger in his heart. Even if he is reluctant and never wants to admit his defeat, Deng Zhixike also knows that he is already defeated, if there are no reinforcements, even the gods will not be able to return to the sky, but is it possible that there will be reinforcements? It's simply impossible.
"Everybody follow me to the northeast to break through!" Deng Zhixike gritted his teeth and ordered loudly, at this moment, he also had to face the reality and made a choice between being defeated and dying and breaking through with all his might.
"Yes, Da Shan Yu!" The loyal generals immediately organized their forces and began to follow Deng Zhixike to the northeast to break through.
The northeast direction is their rear, Qin Dong did not deploy troops to intercept in the rear of Deng Zhixike's army formation, he knows the truth that the encirclement is not one of the three, the troops in his hands now are not much more than Deng Zhixike, it is extremely unwise to encircle on all sides, if you want to encircle on all sides, you must have enough troops, otherwise even if you complete the encirclement on all sides, the enemy can easily break through the encirclement.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the big order go first!" The generals opened the way in front, constantly driving the soldiers in front to both sides, leaving a passage in the middle for Deng Zhixik to pass guò.
"It's not good, Qin Dong's heavy armored cavalry is about to charge, they are going to attack us from behind!" A thousand elders who followed Deng Zhixike shouted.
After Deng Zhixike chose to break through, they turned their backs to the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Third Army and the Fifth Army of Qindong, if the heavy armored iron cavalry of the two legions rushed over, I am afraid that no one could stop it, and the only way was to have someone stand here to block the impact of the heavy cavalry and guard the back for the people in front.
Deng Zhixike looked back after hearing this, and sure enough, he saw that Qin Dong's heavy armored cavalry had been assembled behind him, and he could launch an attack at any time, his expression was grim, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to a commander on the left and said: "You stay here with your men and horses to buy time for others to break through, and when we withdraw from the encirclement, you can retreat with your men and horses!" ”
"Yes, Da Shan Yu!" Knowing that the consequences of staying to block the impact of the heavy cavalry were almost equivalent to looking for death, this commander still had to agree to come down, otherwise he would not wait for the enemy to cut off his head, and at this time Deng Zhixike would cut off his head.
When Qin Dong found that Deng Zhixike was preparing to retreat to the rear, he immediately ordered the light cavalry and archers on both sides to increase the squeezing and attacking of Deng Zhixike's men and horses, so that Deng Zhixike's men and horses who were retreating to the rear had to retreat while dealing with the attack of the enemy on their own side, and the casualties were undoubtedly much greater.
The heavy cavalry finally began to charge again, and Captain Wan and his men and horses, who were ordered to block the back for Deng Zhixike, were immediately hit with a devastating blow, and the heavy cavalry who had experienced the early brother period were very skillful in charging this time, and the enemy who blocked their way fell in an instant like cutting wheat, and some knights even had four corpses strung on their spears.
Deng Zhixik didn't care about him, he only led the army that followed him to charge forward vigorously, while the light cavalry and archers of Qin Dong on both sides kept shooting arrows, causing him heavy losses, but after running a certain distance, Deng Zhixike's army with a light load had an advantage in speed. They had no armor earlier, and some of the soldiers only had weapons on them, and such a load was too easy for horses to run, and the cavalry of Qin Dong on both sides was gradually left behind.
