"Chapter 522: The Overall Situation Has Been Decided"
To use a ridiculous analogy, I am like a gadfly, biting you all day long, waking you up, persuading you, and blaming you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
- Socrates (famous ancient Greek thinker, philosopher, and educator)
After Aminos quickly withdrew from the forest, he didn't care about affecting the morale of the army; He rushed to the front of Vaktiza first, described the events in the forest succinctly, and asked Vaktisa to immediately organize a large army to gather the officers and soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Legions, which might collapse at any time, to meet the enemy's mastiff troops!
Even his own son knew the horror of the war mastiff, and Vaktiza, who had witnessed the combat effectiveness of the war mastiff when he was young, changed his expression on the spot; He immediately drew all the Gallic warriors from the First and Second Legions, and together with the 2,000 elite Gallic warriors in his ace legion, he formed three lines of defense against the mastiffs!
Except for the first line of defense, which consisted of 2,000 elite Gallic warriors and 2,000 Gallic warriors, the remaining two lines of defense, each consisting of 2,000 Gallic warriors; As soon as there was any hole in the defense line in front, the warriors on the defense line behind it immediately rushed to resist it, and never allowed any mastiff to cross the three lines of defense!
This time, Vaktisza changed his previous amicable atmosphere and gave a death order to all the Gallic warriors who participated in the war; Both the Gallic warriors of the Rimon tribe and the Gallic warriors from other tribes understood the seriousness of the matter under the orders of Vaktiza.
In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the defense of the three lines of defense, Vaktiza directly appointed a thousand Gallic noble cavalry under his command as the battlefield overseer; If any of the fighters choose to retreat on the battlefield, the Warlords will kill that warrior on the spot!
With the Gallic barbarians' disposition of honour as life, and their courage in battle, there was no need for Vaktisza to do so; In particular, the 8,000 warriors on these three lines of defense were all composed of Gallic warriors and elite Gallic warriors, and their fighting will was even more tenacious.
However, Vaktisza really did not dare to relax in the slightest when facing the mastiff troops; The real strength of the mastiff force is not its strong combat effectiveness and crazy aggressiveness, but its brutal attack method that is a fatal blow to the enemy's morale.
The battle with the mastiff army is not a battle in the true sense of the word at all, but a battle against the fear of human nature; The mastiff army is not terrible, nor is it invincible, but it is a terrifying existence that is difficult to face, which is a challenge to human nature!
After the formation of three lines of defense composed of 8,000 of the most elite warriors, the 1,000 warlords of Vaktiza were also sent behind them, and the remaining 4,500 Gallic cavalry and more than 10,000 Gallic infantry were also ready for battle under the orders of Vaktiza, and as they were ready to enter a new battle.
Vaktisza is not a fool, he will not simply think that the enemy has invested such a large army of mastiffs in order to use the mastiff troops to attack his own army; They will definitely have other armies continue to attack after the mastiff troops, and after solving these mastiffs in front of them, the real battle has just begun!
Being able to sit firmly as the leader of the overlord tribe in the Aquitani region, Vaktiza still has the vision and ability; Otherwise, with the elders of the Rimon tribe, it would be impossible to let an incompetent waste sit in the position of the leader of the Rimon tribe!
The mastiffs of the Grace tribe did not keep their feud Rimon tribe waiting, and soon the third and fourth legions of the Grimon tribe fled from the forest as if they were defeated; Without looking back, they rushed towards the direction where the main army was, and behind them were the relentless mastiffs still chasing them.
Gallic warriors who fell behind or fell to the ground were pounced on by the mastiffs behind them, and then quickly surrounded by several mastiffs and tore and mutilated on the spot; The bloody scene made the other tribal leaders who had thought Vaktisza make a fuss pale with fright.
In order to escape the pursuit of the mastiffs, the scattered Gallic warriors did not care about the layout of the defensive line in front of them, and rushed directly towards the three lines of defense arranged by Vaktisa; Once these three lines of defense are broken up, the mastiff troops that follow them will take the opportunity to enter the line and destroy all of the Vaktiza's deployments.
Naturally, it was impossible for Vaktiza to allow such a thing to happen, and under his order, the cavalry of the Overseer immediately went around from both flanks to the front of the defensive line, killing all those who wanted to storm the defensive line on the spot, forcing them to flee to both flanks of the defensive line.
At this juncture, the noble cavalry of the Warlords don't care which tribe you are a warrior of; Even if the warriors of the Rimon tribe wanted to storm the defensive line, the noble cavalry of the Warlord would not hesitate to kill them on the spot, and also deter the other routers.
In fact, when the routers had made a detour to the two flanks of the defensive line, the mastiffs did not continue to pursue them, but turned their attention to the immovable Gallic warriors who formed the three lines of defense, and that was their new prey!
The first line of defense, composed of 2,000 elite Gallic warriors as the core, blocked the onslaught of nearly 3,000 war mastiffs; Even if the Gallic warriors were constantly being bitten to death, the warriors behind them would immediately replenish and hold the line steadily.
The army of war mastiffs is composed of war mastiffs trained by hunting dogs, they are not human beings, and they do not have the fear of human beings; Therefore, their attack is unending madness and recklessness, and they are the real troops who can fight to the last man!
Of course, it is not accurate to describe them in terms of people, but the meaning is what it means; The battle between the most elite infantry of the Rimon tribe and the mastiffs was fierce, and the army of Calabis slowly walked out of the forest.
When Calabes found that his mastiffs were less than a thousand, and that the defense line formed by the army of the Rimon tribe was still firmly in front of the battle, he was not disappointed; Because the real battle is next, and this war has just begun!
The three thousand well-rested forest hunters once again advanced in a neat formation, and their flanks were the troops of the Fourth Legion, which were responsible for protecting them; At this time, the warriors of the War Mastiff Legion were also led by Grace and advanced forward.
In fact, Carabes originally planned to let Grace watch the game with him; However, Grace insisted on personally leading the soldiers of the Mastiff Legion to attack the main army of the Rimon tribe. Considering the feud between the Grace tribe and the Rimon tribe, Carabis agreed to Grace's insistence and let the warriors of the War Mastiff Legion personally lead him to cover the two wings of the forest hunters.
In the previous battle, the brawny mastiff troops did not give Itami's cavalry troops a chance to play at all; This time, Itami's cavalry troops were naturally going to go into battle, otherwise wouldn't they be compared to the mastiff army formed later?
While the Forest Hunters and the War Mastiff Legion advanced from the front, Itami's cavalry troops also launched a flank attack on the three lines of defense of the Rimon tribe from the left flank of the battlefield; In the face of this sudden appearance of the enemy army, Vaktisa did not panic, but methodically issued new combat orders.
Grassobling, who had been guarding Vaktisa's side, was ordered to lead his cavalry corps to meet the enemy cavalry at once; The remaining 10,000 Gallic infantry were divided into 8,000 infantry by Vaktisza and placed under the command of Capulnus, bypassing the battle point of the defensive line from the right flank of the battlefield and attacking the enemy archers in front of the defensive line!
After these two troops were sent, the remaining troops in Vaktiza's hands were about 5,000 Gallic infantry and 2,000 Gallic warriors of the ace legion; As for the warriors who came back from the rout, they had eight thousand people in number, but they did not have the slightest combat power, and they could not play any role at all!
As Grasobulin's cavalry and the infantry under the command of Kapurnus rushed forward, the left and right flanks of the central army of Vaktisza suddenly heard shouts of killing again; Countless enemy troops with bright short swords suddenly emerged from the originally flat grass as if they had come out of the ground, and slaughtered the location of the Chinese army in Vaktiza!
These two slain armies were naturally the four thousand young men and three thousand hoplites that Calabes had dug a pit to ambush in the meadow; After a brief period of shock, Vaktisza also realized that the size of the two enemy forces was not very large.
So he asked Mutius, the last general at his side, to lead the remaining 5,000 infantry against the smaller group of the enemy; He himself was armed with two thousand ace legions of Gallic warriors and those who had been routed to face the larger enemy army.
According to Vaktiza's idea, it is natural that the enemy army with more numbers is more difficult to deal with, and the enemy army with fewer people is easier to deal with; Therefore, he sent Mutius to deal with the smaller enemy army, hoping that Mutius would be able to repel the enemy army as soon as possible.
Vaktisza would never have imagined that the three thousand enemy troops he thought would be easy to deal with would be the three thousand hoplites who were the most powerful infantry under the command of Karabes; With only 5,000 weak Gallic infantry under his command, Mutius was almost a massacre.
In fact, as early as Carabis began to attack out of the forest, several horsemen with Carabes' orders had already made a detour to the ambush point of Brigo's Fourth Legion; Soon, the army of the Rimon tribe of Vaktisa will be surrounded on all sides by Karabes, and the war will be over.
This war has been waged from the very beginning under the control of Calabess; Except for the results of the mastiff troops, which were beyond Karabes's expectations, everything else was under the control of Karabes, and the 50,000 troops that the Rimon tribe had gathered with all their might actually had internal conspiracy, which also became one of the factors that made Karabes's victory a quick victory.
