Chapter 458: Heavy losses
The torrent of cavalry of the Little White Alliance rushed up, like a monstrous wave in the ocean, and the heavy cavalry of the Wang Mastiff Army at this time, in front of this huge wave, could only be regarded as a small ship in front of the waves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It's just that if the big waves encounter a steel ship, they will often bow to the wind.
A hundred paces away, the heavy cavalry general of the Wang Mastiff Army waved his sword and ordered: "Throw!" β
More than 3,000 Dong Zhuojun cavalry immediately removed a short throwing spear from the saddle. This kind of throwing gun is a special long-range weapon for the Xiliang Army.
This throwing spear is made of pure iron, and the first and last sections are very sharp, especially with the inertia of the horse when charging, the lethality is huge, even if it is heavy armor, it can be penetrated, and the power is not much smaller than that of ordinary ballistas.
More than 3,000 throwing spears fell on the Union cavalry, and in an instant, countless Alliance cavalry were shot and fell from their horses.
Under the blessing of high-speed charge, the Wang Mastiff Army threw a spear, which was not at all blocked by the weakly defended alliance cavalry, as long as a throwing gun hit the alliance cavalry, it was often two people with horses would be pierced by this throwing gun, and both fell and fell to death.
In this wave of spear attacks, more than 1,000 alliance cavalry fell and thousands were wounded.
"Brush." The first wave of throwing guns was thrown, and Wang Mastiff immediately took out another one from the throwing pot hanging on the side of the horseβtheir throwing pot could hold a total of five throwing guns.
Seeing this, the commander of the Alliance Cavalry Corps was very annoyed, if he continued like this, he didn't have to fight, he just dismounted and surrendered, and his troops had become their targets.
"Speed up." All he could do now was speed up and engage in close-quarters combat as quickly as possible.
After two more shots of throwing guns, inflicting more than 6,000 casualties on the Alliance Legion, the Mastiff Army finally stopped throwing again, because at this time, the Alliance cavalry had already approached in front of them.
"It's too perverted, we lost nearly 10,000 people before we even fought, what kind of troops is this!" The deputy commander of the Alliance Cavalry Legion clutched the bloody hole in his chest, and a sharp pain welled up from his wound, making him frown.
The commander of the cavalry legion saw the blood gushing out of the cup-sized hole on his body from behind him, and said with a smile: "You go back to heal your wounds first, and then you will be a sieve later." β
The deputy corps commander shook his head and scolded: "I won't go back, TMD, even if I am beaten into a sieve by them today, I will have to hack to death a Dong Zhuojun to accompany me on the road!" β
"Your ideal is really ambitious." The commander of the cavalry corps smiled bitterly: "I feel that the strength of this group of people in close combat is far greater than that of long-range attacks. Look at the armor on their bodies, their weapons, and even the vital parts of their horses are covered with heavy armor...... We died three people, and I was satisfied that I could consume one of them. β
The deputy corps commander smiled: "Whatever, do it alive, kill it, kill it!" β
"Bang bang bang!" The armies of the two sides finally officially fought each other, the respective cavalry of both sides galloped at high speed, and crashed into each other, the alliance cavalry on the front line and the Wang Mastiff army collided together, and the terrifying impact force directly broke the bones and tendons of the alliance cavalry, turned into a pool of soft meat, and fell to the ground, and the alliance cavalry players were carried away by inertia and impact, and fell into the hooves of the horses raging on the battlefield, and they would definitely die.
The heavy cavalry of the Wang Mastiff Army was unharmed under such an impact, and the war horse of the Wang Mastiff Army shook its head slightly, and then charged forward again.
The cavalry of the Mastiff Army, like a sharp scythe, harvested the lives of one Alliance cavalry after another, and the Alliance cavalry finally rushed in front of them with great effort, only to find that even in close combat, they had nothing to do with each other.
The spear pierced the opponent's armor and broke, the bow and arrow shot at the opponent's body, and bounced away, even the halberd could not damage the opponent's armor.
After a charge, the two sides staggered past each other, standing on the previous opponent's position, and made a judgment.
The allied cavalry lost more than 20,000 men in this wave of charges alone, while the enemy's heavy cavalry lost no more than 100 cavalry.
The deputy commander of the Alliance Cavalry Corps was killed by the enemy cavalry during the battle.
The Cavalry Legion Legion Legion Commander gasped for breath, looking at the piles of corpses of his own legion players on the battlefield, his eyes were a little red. Since its formation, the Alliance Cavalry Corps has always been regarded as a strong force in the army, using the best equipment, one high-level war horse per person, and the high-level equipment alliance also tries to supply them first.
But today, in their first battle, they lost so much, which made him feel very sorry for the alliance and Lin Ran.
"Sixty thousand cavalry lost!" Hearing this news, the eyelids of the staff officers jumped wildly, and even the wine couldn't calm down, and said, "This is also consumed too fast...... 60,000 cavalry, this loss is too great. β
The composition of the Alliance Cavalry Corps is composed of several cavalry drawn from various villages, although the formation of peacetime maintenance does not require the alliance to pay, but if it is killed, the alliance needs to pay compensation and re-organize.
Sixty thousand horses plus the players' compensation for the loss is an astronomical amount.
The slightly smaller alliance, having suffered this loss, is probably on the verge of collapse for a long time and will not be able to operate at a loss.
Even against the Xiaobai Alliance, this huge loss is enough to break the bones.
"Now we have more than 30,000 cavalry left, or we should summon them back to avoid the expansion of losses." Liquor suggested.
"Order, all the remaining cavalry, continue to attack the other side, unless you fight to the last man, you are absolutely not allowed to withdraw from the battlefield!"
The staff officers of the military headquarters were stunned, they didn't know why Lin Ran let the cavalry corps go to death in vain, now the situation is very clear, the remaining more than 30,000 cavalry are not the opponents of the other party at all......
Lin Ran looked at the staff officers with doubts on their faces, and said lightly: "Don't worry about losses, our Xiaobai Alliance can afford to lose this capital." As long as it can capture Nanchang City, it is worth losing another 100,000 cavalry. You see. β
Lin Ran handed them the information sent by the scouts and the front-line army commander, and said: "Although our cavalry corps did not defeat the opponent's heavy cavalry, when it was fighting with the opponent's heavy cavalry, it successfully delayed the opponent's sharp offensive, and now the opponent has lost the charge of the heavy cavalry, and the speed of the breakthrough has been greatly reduced. As long as our cavalry corps can hold back the opponent's heavy cavalry for a little longer, the troops in the rear encirclement will be able to deploy a tighter defense. β
"I see." Jiu Jing nodded and said, "I'll go and convey the order of the military headquarters to them immediately." β
