219 Desik is frustrated

The battle went on all day, and by evening the front, which had been stalemate all day, began to show some signs of loosening.

From the beginning of the battle, the Desiks arranged a cavalry phalanx, led by wolf cavalry and rangers to protect the flanks, respectively to attack the front line of San Jose, and San Jose responded to the battle with the famous "San Jose Great Phalanx".

The first wave of the charge lasted for several hours, and the Steppenwolf riders in front of the Guards phalanx could not take advantage of anything, so Commander Desik had to ask the wolves to withdraw from the battlefield and instead cooperate with the Rangers on both flanks to attack the San Jose border guards.

The defense here was slightly weaker, slightly scattered under the onslaught of the Rangers. Commander Desik was keenly aware of this, and threw all of his cavalry attack forces into this line.

And the pressure on the main force of San Jose, the Guards Corps, was taken over by the second wave of the main attacking force, the Desik Heavy Infantry Regiment.

The arrangement of the Desik Heavy Infantry Regiment was different from that of the San Jose phalanx, and it did not have such a close formation, but relied on the personal bravery of the Desik warriors to maximize their individual combat ability. Several soldiers formed a combat group, and several combat groups dispersed into skirmishers. The group worked in unison, with the strongest soldiers at the front, slashing with great power, ignoring all defenses, whether shields or spears.

The San Jose Grand Phalanx, the essence of which is a spear formation. For a long time, in the face of the impact of the Desik cavalry, San Jose finally developed this kind of spear formation that was quite restrained from the cavalry, but in the face of the heavy infantry regiment that rushed up, the spear was not flexible enough, and often the head of the spear was cut off with one sword, and the next sword would cut through the small round shield of the Guards soldiers. Often the shield and the arm are cut off together.

In this case, the Guards line, which did not retreat an inch in front of the Steppenwolf Riders, could not withstand the onslaught of Desik heavy infantry, and the killed retreated.

Fortunately, the San Jose phalanx's strong filling and coordination capabilities reflect the advantage, and when the soldiers in the front row can't resist, the San Jose Guards soldiers in the back row will step forward as quickly as possible. You must know that the infantry in the first row of Desik are also people, and their physical strength is gradually exhausted under the repeated chopping.

By the afternoon, the battle was heating up, and neither side could help the other. The San Jose army took advantage of the defense, suffering slightly fewer casualties than the Desiks, but they were the most elite Guards soldiers, and the commander in the rear, Count Mosic, could not help but feel a pain in the flesh.

Suddenly, the herald reported to Count Mosic, and the front-line commander, Viscount Slim, applied for an attack, "What's going on?" General Montgomery, the chief of staff beside Count Mosick, couldn't help but wonder.

"It must have been Viscount Slim who found out about the presence of fighters on the front line, he is an old and serious man, the chances are not good to a certain extent, he will not easily gamble. Believe him, give the order, and allow the attack!"

The herald on the command platform waved the red flag vigorously and passed the order to the front line.

Viscount Slim, who received the order, did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately led the cavalry of the Guards, which had not been dispatched from the beginning of the battle, and began to attack the left flank of San Jose, that is, the right flank of Desik's attack. The assault was directed between the Guards and the Border Guards, where the Desik Heavy Infantry Regiment was fighting the Guards, and the 2nd Wolf Cavalry and Ranger Division, under General Manstein, were attacking San José's right flank, and were within striking distance of breaking them;

Viscount Slim cleverly chose the direction of attack of the 1st Division of the Desik Rangers, and here, they were the most isolated part of the Desik army of several parts. I don't know why, maybe because the forward corps had not yet broken through the defensive line, the rest of Desik's infantry regiment did not follow, and only the three heavy infantry regiments and cavalry of the "Storm Bear Regiment", "Eagle Falcon Regiment" and "Frost Regiment" were fighting on the front line.

Viscount Slim had chosen a very good time, and more than 3,000 well-trained and well-equipped cavalry of the Guards began to move rapidly to the left flank. These cavalrymen, the most elite part of the San Jose Guard, were all born into various noble families, and they were skilled in arching and riding good horses since childhood. All of them were dressed in silver-white chain mail, with blood-red cloaks behind them, and on their faces, a red feather was inserted into the face armor, which appeared to be the tail feathers of San Jose's characteristic "golden pheasant".

A torrent of white dotted with red, hula whistling between the Guards and the Border Guards, rushed diagonally towards the Desik Rangers. At the same time, the trebuchet phalanx was extending its fire, and the stone bullets were frantically fired behind the rangers, compressing the rangers' formation even more flattened, and at the same time preventing the infantry regiments in the rear from approaching to a certain extent.

Viscount Slim, the leader of the Guards, led the way, followed by his battalion of guards, followed by three thousand cavalrymen who were holding back their anger. When the Rangers didn't react, they rushed into the Rangers' formation.

Kimmich's battalion general, the commander of the Desik Ranger 1st Division, was pressing behind the Ranger formation at this time, and judging from the news from all sides, his Ranger 1st Division fought the worst, almost unable to break through a single line of defense, and Kimmich was full of anger at this moment. It was only two hours before dark, and if there was no progress before dark, he didn't know how to explain to General Hans.

However, he didn't have to think about what to do now, and when Viscount Slim rushed into the rangers with his Thorsilver weapon brandished, the Kimmich battalion general stared blankly at the cavalry that came out of nowhere on the battlefield, and forgot to give the order for a moment.

It was only under the reminder of the deputy general that he suddenly came to his senses, "Shrink the formation, shrink the formation, everyone is moving closer to me, line up again, line up again!"

The whizzing cavalry of the Guards rushed from the southeast side of the battlefield to the west, and the hula cavalry crushed everything in front of them to pieces, and the flank of the Desik cavalry received such a heavy blow that it did not react at all. Many of the soldiers were still immersed in the fight with the San Jose border guards, completely unaware of the enemy approaching from the flanks. Many of them killed the San Jose soldiers in front of them with their steel knives a second before their heads were chopped off.

It took only a short time for the Guards cavalry to cut through the array of Desik Rangers, and although the Kimmich battalion had already begun to gather his soldiers in the first place, only half of the Desik Rangers who had finally left the battlefield remained. At the urging of the Kimmich battalion general, these Desik cavalry, who had finally left the battlefield, were again sparsely lined up in a horizontal formation, and many of them also hung up colors, blood dripping on the battlefield, and the war horses were snorting and panting.

In addition, there was no sound on the entire battlefield, it was eerily quiet, only the shouting and killing sound in the middle of the distant battlefield could be heard from afar.

The cavalry of the Guards, who had completed a chiseling penetration, also lined up in a horizontal row in front of the border guards' phalanx. Although they only had 3,000 men, some fewer than the Desik cavalry on the opposite side, who had just been killed, their morale was high, and many of them waved their weapons and were not willing to put them down.

The liberated border guards seized the time to adjust their formation. In the battle just now, they didn't fight badly, they were able to block the charge of the Desik rangers, and the formation was still quite intact. Except for the loss of some personnel, the phalanx looked much thinner.

Viscount Slim rode his horse and stomped to the front of the line, just now, his wolf's tooth hammer shattered the heads of many Desik cavalrymen, there was no enemy under his command, his silver-white armor was stained with the blood of the enemy, and even the mask was a little mushy.

Viscount Slim stretched out his hand, gently ripped off a piece of clothing under the armor, and wiped it on the visor a few times, and the cloth of the clothes was instantly stained red with blood. Gently tossing the piece of cloth to the ground, his mount snored violently, startling the Desik cavalry not far away.

"Guards cavalry!" Viscount Slim once again raised his wolf-tooth hammer and shouted, "Charge!"

"Kill!" all the Guards cavalry had only one word to respond to their commander.

And in the Desik ranger formation, the Kimmich battalion general also knows that now is the real cavalry battle, and there must be no retreat, whoever retreats will die. The rangers with him also rushed forward.

The two sides that had just temporarily disengaged were only seventy or eighty degrees away, and the horses were about to raise their speeds, and the two sides collided with each other again, and suddenly people turned on their backs, and many people were knocked off the horses by the high-speed charging enemy before they had time to wave their weapons, and then they were trampled into flesh by the people behind.

As evening fell, the battle began to become clear. Thanks to the quick decision of the commander of the San Jose front, Viscount Slim, the Guards cavalry entered the battlefield at the most opportune time, and in one fell swoop crushed the main force of Desik's right flank attack, the 1st Ranger Division. More than 10,000 cavalrymen who fought with the San Jose border guards were charged three times in a row by the Guards cavalry and returned defeated. The Kimmich battalion brought back less than two thousand rangers.

Seeing the defeat of the right flank, General Hans, the commander of Desik, was furious, and directly ordered the garrison warriors of the headquarters to cut off the head of the Kimmich battalion general, ripped off Kimmich's silver wolf head, and said to the fleeing cavalry, "Whoever can break through the enemy's phalanx again, this silver wolf head will belong to whoever belongs!"

Tempted by the position of battalion commander, the rangers who had already been killed turned their horses and charged the San Josens in front again.

"The situation on the left flank and the center is not very good, in the left flank San Jose should have invested a lot of reserves, the wolf cavalry and the second division of the rangers could not break through, their spear formation was too dense. The guards in the middle are not easy to deal with, they are still in high morale after a whole day of fighting, judging from the previous report, the current battle loss ratio between the two sides is close to one to one, and the sky is almost dark, general, it seems that it will not work today. It was the lieutenant next to General Hans who spoke, and he suggested to General Hans worriedly.

"Hmm," General Hans nodded, "you're right, we do underestimate the San Josens." Arthur said that he would not help us in this battle, and that his organization now had a bigger plan to execute. We all underestimate the people of San Jose. Today, it looks like that's all there is to it. ”

The horn sounded again, and the Desik retreated. After a whole day of fighting, both sides left behind a large number of corpses, but no one could help anyone.

During the Second Continental War, for the first time, the Desikhs did not take advantage of any advantage in the field.
