Chapter 124: Seize the Position
At nightfall, the unprecedented camp in the history of war was set up, and the large camps on both sides were erected at a distance of about 200 meters, and the strong bows and crossbows could reach the enemy formation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, it was not over yet, and the Northern Army was dumbfounded, and in the Arathi camp, a group of heavy armored soldiers ran out on foot and gathered outside the camp. Is it to rob the camp? Of course not, they all carried wooden tools, and looking at the posture, they still had to set up barracks......
All around them, soldiers in blue suits patrolled back and forth with bows and arrows, staring at the enemy camp and firing arrows whenever they didn't like them.
Sure enough, these heavily armored soldiers drove piles on the spot, and in a short time, the prototype of a wooden house was revealed.
Of course, that's the end of it, these heavy armor soldiers have built a shell, and they will not continue to improve, and this so-called house does not even have a roof.
Then, the heavy armor soldiers left the project and walked out of the house, continued to push forward, and began to drive piles against the front door again. The Falling Star Guards, dressed in colorful clothes, took on the task of delivering building materials as they carried wood through the room.
Since the beginning of the battle, the Arathi Legion has been fully engaged in battle, and the construction has begun as soon as the battle has ended.
Things have developed so far that the Northern Army finally saw the enemy's purpose, and they actually wanted to push through the trenches in this way.
But what to do? Gather your forces now and rush forward to push the enemy back? In that case, not to mention that the encirclement is over, he has no confidence at all whether he can enter the enemy's camp. When the time comes, the besieged enemy army will run out smoothly, and as soon as the two sides converge, they will not be able to catch up with their own infantry wherever they want.
But if the enemy is allowed to do so, the trench that he has worked so hard to exchange for human lives will be finished, and when the time comes, in order to resist their cluster charge, they can only shrink their forces here, and the encirclement will still not be maintained......
Thinking about it and thinking about it and thinking about it, he couldn't think of a good way, so Wendsol had to "fight poison with poison" and continue to dig trenches, which were in the headquarters camp!
This time it was even more lively, and the two sides began to compete again against the construction speed, and the battlefield became a construction site, and the voices were boiling.
Just when they were busy, Cheng Xiaotian led the besieged troops to maneuver to Dahuaishu Village and began to rest on the spot. After a non-stop march all the way, people can still stand it, but the horses are too tired to do it.
It was not far from Windsol's defensive position, and it was impossible to make a final breakthrough without enough horsepower. There is no one in the village for a long time, and there is no food, but the forage is still there, enough for the war horses to have a full meal.
Here, Cheng Xiaotian made a contact with the main force, and the two sides unified the battle plan.
Two hours later, the army from the north pressed down, and the encirclement had shrunk to a very small size, and there was no longer a gap. The avenging army, which had rested for a moment, immediately mounted and continued to advance south, this time at a very slow pace, almost being pushed by the enemy front.
At this time, the positions of the Northern Army in the south were retreating again and again, and the fourth trench had already begun to be dug. Opposite them, the army of Arasi had built a simple corridor and inserted it directly into the enemy camp, which continued to stretch forward.
I have to admit that although these guys from the Fallen Star Knights are not very skilled, the speed is really fast, and the distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing. The trenches of the Northern Army became shallower and shallower, and when they reached the fourth route, it was estimated that they would have to retreat after digging out a small "water ditch", and there was basically no effect on stopping the cavalry.
At midnight, the moon rises in the middle of the sky, and when viewed from above, the four sides of the encirclement are extremely close. They were next to each other, shrinking towards the center, and Cheng Xiaotian and the others were like egg yolks wrapped inside.
In a war, it is very difficult to annihilate an army in formation, but once it is achieved, it will not only deal a great blow to the enemy's morale, but also greatly weaken the enemy's strength. This cavalry team contains the two names of the Arathi Legion, and once they are completely annihilated, they will lose two armies, and they will not be able to recover in a short time.
As he went all the way south, gradually, Wendsol's huge military formation appeared in front of him, and Cheng Xiaotian once again stopped his subordinates and began to make final preparations for battle. No one spoke, everyone knew what they were going to do, and they carefully inspected their gear and harness, and redistributed their arrows.
This battle will determine the survival of these two numbers, and the purpose of the battle is very simple, to survive as much as possible and bring home the seeds of the troops!
Two kilometers behind them, Vivas's leader also stopped and began to make the final redeployments.
It's just that as the commander-in-chief, at this decisive moment, Vivas seemed a little absent-minded, to be honest, his formation deployment was not reasonable, which even his direct subordinates could see. Using the sword and shield hand as the vanguard, it is impossible to block the enemy's cavalry charge, and once it is scattered, it will also mess up its own position.
However, there is no democracy on the battlefield, and the commander will do whatever he wants. At this time, the only one who had the right to question was the staff officer, but the staff officer of this army stayed in Riptide City and did not come at all.
At the same time, Wendsol was also making the final moves, and now that the enemy forces on both sides had appeared, and there was no longer a need to maintain such a wide defensive surface, he began to concentrate his personnel in the center. Opposite them, the Arathi legion, which had been tossing for half the night, finally stopped building houses and withdrew to the headquarters camp behind.
The main battlefield, which had been noisy for half the night, finally quieted down, and everyone sat on the ground, waiting for the final decisive battle. Death was so close that no one talked, and the military formation seemed to become a graveyard.
In the cold moonlight, the soldiers of the Northern Legion began to write letters to their families, and after a few strokes, they were carefully folded and put into the most intimate pockets. No one knew what they had written, and no one knew if the letter would have been delivered if they died.
The unbearable wait lasted for half an hour, and suddenly a loud horn sounded in the large camp of the Arathi Legion.
The soldiers of the Northern Legion, who were sitting on the ground, stood up one after another, and the officers of all ranks began to run back and forth, shouting loudly. In the midst of the shouting and scolding, the military formation was formed and waited for.
The sound of the trumpets reverberated through the darkness of the night, and Vivas's army pulled out of its footing and began to advance again. As long as the two sides of the headquarters converge, the surrounded enemy will be drowned and crushed into slag.
Cheng Xiaotian looked at the south where the trumpet came, and with a wave of his hand, more than 200 subordinates brushed their horses together. Their formation coiled around and formed a dense circle.
If a general of the Northern Army saw this scene, he would inevitably be suspicious, how could the circle array be used for assault?
Behind, Vivas's army lined up in two phalanxes in front and back, shouting and pressing. The small circle was at a distance of a kilometer from them and began to turn a little south.
However, although they were the target, they were not the focus of the campaign, and everyone focused on the powerful Arathi headquarters camp. With the sound of trumpets, there was now a crowd of people and horses, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and it was obvious that the cavalry was gathering and was about to attack!
In the nervous waiting, the sound of the messy horse's hooves gradually began to become neat, and Wendthor rode on his horse, and the hand holding the reins began to tighten involuntarily. The heralds ran back and forth, shouting over and over again: "Ready! Get ready! Get ready! ”
Thundered! Thundered!
The ground shook like a drum, and the cavalry on the opposite side had already run, but they could not be seen from here. The cavalry of the Arathi Basin did not launch a frontal assault, but chose to penetrate through their freshly repaired "corridor" and plunge directly into the enemy position.
Seeing that the enemy had chosen this assault, Windsol immediately gave orders to the heralds and withdrew the spearmen in front. It is clear that the enemy is determined to break through the army and save the encircled troops, regardless of casualties.
"In that case, let's satisfy you." After calculating the gains and losses, Windsor sighed and relaxed, a smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
