Text: The Great Power Controversy_Chapter 302 Building the Chi Road and Relocating the People
The situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable for the combined army, and the main pressure comes from the 50,000 cavalry in the country where the sun never sets. No one thought that the country where the sun never set would be able to gather more than 50,000 cavalry, and in the previous series of encounters, the cavalry of the country where the sun never set was almost crippled by the Xia country. And the scouts obviously didn't find the cavalry of the country where the sun never sets, and by the time Han Xin learned that there were still 50,000 cavalry in the country where the sun never set, it was already a little late.
First, 50,000 foot soldiers were sent to the front to charge each other with the cavalry of the country where the sun never sets. It was a life-or-death operation, but the Combine soldiers were not afraid. The strong formation of the cavalry charge did not intimidate them, but the gap was too great. Even if 50,000 infantry blocked the 50,000 cavalry of the country where the sun never sets, the price paid was too great. In less than a quarter of an hour, all 50,000 infantry were crushed, and most of them were lost. After that, the cavalry of the country where the sun never set did not care about the foot soldiers behind them, and directly killed the only remaining phalanx that had not yet been formed.
The situation behind was even more dangerous, with only 100,000 men of 250,000 men forming a fairly strong formation. But under the cavalry charge of more than 25,000 people in the country where the sun never sets, it is still precarious. And the rest of the small formations of 10,000 people swayed back and forth in the waves of cavalry. In less than half an hour, the phalanx of 80,000 people was crushed, and tens of thousands of elite infantry were in danger of life and death under the iron hooves of the enemy. The 100,000-strong phalanx was also crushed by more than half in a row, and depending on the situation, it was only supporting for half an hour at most.
None of these are the most important things. On top of that, the two huge formations of 250,000 people couldn't move at all.
If you can't go to support, then the result will be to watch the elite troops of two or three hundred thousand be wantonly slaughtered by the cavalry of the country where the sun never sets. After these hundreds of thousands of people are completely defeated, I am afraid that the remaining 500,000 troops will not have any good results. Although the 50,000 cavalry of the country that does not set the sun is terrifying, it is still far inferior to the army of the country of the sun that does not set on the 1.7 million. An army of 1.7 million is the main force that can really defeat itself. Fifty thousand cavalry, no matter how much Han Xin paid attention to it, it was impossible to crush his two giant formations in a short period of time. But with an army of 1.7 million, that's a bit hanging.
The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, especially under the onslaught of cavalry on which the sun never sets. The disadvantage, which was not obvious, was instantly expanded several times, and the situation also took a sharp turn for the worse. The cavalry was still rushing across the battlefield, attacking back and forth in formations that were already facing defeat. And the main force of the coalition army stayed honestly beside it, waiting for the impact of the main force of the country on which the sun never sets.
Han Xin is now suffocating to death in his heart, the situation on this battlefield, no matter how you look at it, is very unfavorable to him. If the follow-up troops could not cross the river in time to support, it was still possible to be defeated by themselves in this battle. The main reason for his defeat was the cavalry that never set for 50,000 days. There is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the 800,000 soldiers of the Combined Army is very strong. But the point is that no matter how strong the infantry is, it can't defeat the cavalry. Even if Yue Fei is here now, he is not completely sure to stop these 50,000 cavalry. Not to mention, he didn't know that there would be 50,000 cavalry in the country where the sun never sets.
Alas, I didn't expect that. The cavalry of his Xia Kingdom and Beichen Kingdom together amounted to 400,000. But now, none of the 400,000 cavalry can pass, so they can only look at the river and sigh. Seeing the 50,000 enemy cavalry rampant and wanton attacks on the battlefield, Han was angry. Hmph, it's clear that the cavalry who bullied himself can't cross the river.
Under the trampling of the national iron cavalry on which the sun never sets, 200,000 horses tenaciously strive for a glimmer of life. And at this time, the main force of the country on which the sun never sets is also joining to occupy.
The army of 1.7 million people, 17 phalanxes of 100,000 people, without the slightest doubt, directly killed the phalanx where Han Xinzhong's army was located.
When the two sides were one hundred and fifty paces apart, they began to attack each other. The rain of arrows in the sky dyed the entire sky black, and the dense arrows were like stars in the night sky. Under the rays of the sun, it shines with a dazzling light. The damage from the rain of arrows is very small for a Combine soldier. Now, the regular elite troops of Xia and Beichen have almost changed their armor to iron armor. Only Beichen Kingdom still has a large number of troops equipped with iron-inlaid armor, all of which are volunteer soldiers and servant troops.
Now, even though most of the officers and men of the Volunteer Army are wearing iron-clad armor, the casualties are still very slight under the blow of the rain of arrows. The royal elite troops, who had lost more than 600,000 yuan before, left behind the iron armor, plus some captured iron armor, were all equipped with the volunteer army. In particular, the sword and shield soldiers are all dressed in iron armor. There is no way for Changge soldiers and archers, they can only equip as many iron armors as they want. If you want to change your clothes, you have to wait until the end of this war and return to your home country to change your clothes.
The casualties of the country where the sun never sets are not very large, although the ironclad equipment rate in the army is not as good as that of the soldiers of the combined army, but anyone can do iron-clad armor. In terms of resisting arrows, the iron-inlaid armor is not very bad, at least it is much stronger than the leather armor. After only a few rounds of bows and arrows between the two sides, they gave up on the duel of the already weak class. In game armies with more and more ironclad equipment, the power of bows and arrows is greatly reduced. It also means that the archers, who were originally very powerful in the cold weapon period, will slowly withdraw from the war. The subsequent replenishment is naturally the crossbowmen, and only the crossbow arrows that regard the iron armor as nothing belong to the future.
As soon as the infantry clashed, countless changges and spears immediately mixed together. Accompanying these two extra-long weapons were the corpses of that place, and among the dense long ges and spears, few people survived. Especially the sword and shield soldiers, as well as the shield soldiers of the country where the sun never sets, in this kind of battle, they suffered heavy casualties. Faced with weapons such as Changge and spears, which were six or seven meters long, the machetes and swords in their hands that were less than a meter long could not attack the enemy at all. Unless you can quickly impulse the enemy, but that will cause confusion in the formation, which is not advisable at all.
The Chinese Changge, the spear of Europe, has now become the weapon of choice for Chinese and European infantry players in the game. For no other reason than the extraordinarily long length, these two weapons are very popular. The game is not more realistic, with a huge number of armies and magnificent war scenes. The six-meter-long weapons of Changge and spear will make the military formation more aggressive.
Under the dense distribution of super-long weapons, without the corresponding weapons, it is simply impossible to crush a phalanx. Even a character as powerful as Xiang Yu did not dare to impact such a formation at all. The continuous super-long weapons were enough for even the most powerful person to resist.
The clash of formations is the most brutal, and no one can dodge and move at will. As long as one person moves, or dodges enemy attacks. Then the comrades behind them will be exposed to the enemy's attack, and no one will lose sight of the overall situation in this situation. The sword and shield soldiers did not dare to move, because as long as they moved, the Changge soldiers behind them would be attacked. Once the Changge soldier died, it was impossible for him to rush in front of the enemy with a short knife. And Chang Gebing didn't dare to move, although he only had a layer of iron-inlaid armor, and his defense was very low. But if you move a little, the next line of defense behind you will be attacked in advance. This is very unfavorable for the entire military array.
The cruelty of war cannot be fully expressed with one mouth, and the best expression is the corpses everywhere and the blood that stains the earth red. Whether the two sides are advancing or retreating, countless warriors will fall to the ground with every step, and their souls will return to Huangquan.
The fierceness of the battle made Han Xin's not more and more tight. The two phalanxes were now completely divided and surrounded, and each of them was surrounded by several phalanxes of 100,000 people who never set the sun. Is this battle really going to be lost?
More and more officers and men of the Coalition Army are lying in pools of blood, countless flags have been torn, and the morale of the army is declining step by step. The battle has been going on for an hour, and his side is now completely at a disadvantage. The next wave of troops crossing the river will be able to go ashore in another hour. But will you be able to hold on for an hour?
Yes, you can hold on for another hour. It's just that at that time, it will be impossible to hold this place anymore.
The army of 500,000 has already fallen tens of thousands of people in the space of ten minutes. For an hour, if you resist desperately, you can still hold on. It's just that the troops who crossed the river again were only 200,000 people, and they were all infantry. In the face of an army of more than one million people who never set on the sun, how could 200,000 people break through the enemy's encirclement of their formation. Not to mention, the tens of thousands of cavalry who did not fall behind the country after solving their own army of 300,000.
There are still more than 30,000 cavalry troops left, not much. But it was the Union Army that had completely suppressed 300,000 soldiers. 300,000 people, so far, almost more than 100,000 have been killed. Of the remaining 200,000 people, only a few are resisting, and the others may have lost the faith to fight. This is not funny, no matter how strong the infantry is, in the absence of formation, it will be defeated by the cavalry. Without a formation, it means that the enemy's cavalry can run amok, and the powerful charging ability is enough to terrify all infantry who have lost the protection of the formation.
Is it really going to fall short?
After about forty minutes, the coalition army's river-crossing unit docked again. Countless small boats rowed past the big ships and came to the shore. Countless Combine soldiers rushed ashore at a rapid pace, and then urgently formed a formation. Tens of thousands of people had just been assembled, and when they found out about this army, the cavalry of the country immediately rushed over.
Tragic!
With only tens of thousands of infantry, they could not resist the charge of 30,000 cavalry. Countless officers and men of the Combined Army fell under the trampling of the iron cavalry, and more and more officers of the Combined Army came ashore from the middle of the river, continuing to replenish the formation that was about to rout. Perhaps it was the belief in rescuing the besieged brothers that made them even more willing to fight. Perhaps it was Xiao Chen and others who sent their most elite troops, hoping to rescue Han Xin, who was surrounded. None of this mattered, the front was held. The cavalry of the country where the sun never sets has lost a lot of combat effectiveness under continuous combat, and the front that seems to be crushed with one blow will slowly plunge all the enemy cavalry into the quagmire of difficult battles.
At this moment, a deafening sound of thunder was heard again from the north side of the battlefield. What followed was a cloud of dust that rendered the entire sky a gray world.
It's cavalry!
Han Xin and Weir thought of it immediately!
It should be the cavalry of the country where the sun never sets, I didn't expect it. Originally, I thought that as long as I was ruthless, the sun would completely destroy the country, but I was able to gather nearly 100,000 cavalry. Looking at the momentum of this cavalry, it is not small, at least more than 20,000. 20,000 cavalry, hehe, in the current situation, can you still resist the 20,000 cavalry of the country that does not set on the sun to support again? It seems that it is really going to be defeated!
Whose cavalry? How could tens of thousands of cavalry troops appear here? At present, all the cavalry that can be called in the country have been pulled over by themselves, and there are indeed 20,000 cavalry in the troops on the northern front to resist the Xia army, but how could they come here? There was no cavalry there at all at Lancelot, where did this cavalry come from, was it an enemy?
When Han Xin was desperate, some doubts also rose in Weir's heart. For the two armies, this cavalry of more than 20,000 people is a very dangerous existence. If it were in normal times, no one would care about 20,000 cavalry. But now the situation is very different, 20,000 people is enough to change the situation on the battlefield.
If the sun never sets on the cavalry, then the combined army will be completely defeated under the attack of its new cavalry army. And Weir's side has already sent all the troops in his hands, and there are only 3,000 guards on his side. If it is the cavalry of the Combine Army that suddenly appears, it is absolutely very dangerous for you. Although it was not certain that it was the cavalry of the Combine, Vir moved in the direction of his main army. This battle is too important, especially for the country on which the sun never sets, and it is a battle that determines the survival of the country.
Will would never allow himself to be in any danger, not because he was afraid. Instead, Vir knew that once something happened to his side, the army in front of him would inevitably be completely defeated. At that time, the country where the sun does not set is really lacking in the ability to return to the sky. Conversely, regardless of whether this cavalry unit is a Combine unit or not. As long as you can rely on the army, there will be no danger. In front of a million troops, what can a mere 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry do.
When a banner showing a golden dragon on a red background appeared in Will's eyes, Will's heart was half cold.
It's the cavalry of Beichen Kingdom! In the hinterland of his old nest, there will be a cavalry of the Beichen Army! What a great irony!
The most important thing is that now this cavalry is very fast and is getting closer and closer to itself. And he hasn't run to the vicinity of the main army yet, it's very dangerous!
