Section 493 Gap

The cavalry units heading south carried part of the explosives. When the main force of the three-clan alliance in the north attacked, the prisoner Niu ordered to ignite the explosives planted in advance on the south side of the camp at night, blowing up the wall of the camp and expanding the opening of the camp in disguise.

Let them go!

These are the original words that Tianhao said when he convened the meeting on the battlefield.

Unlike when dealing with the main Viking force led by Duke Flamal, the main force of the Plantagenet Kingdom under the command of the Marquis of Elken was not limited to the Jedi. At that time, the reason why they were able to completely annihilate the main Viking force was because they were behind the Pantuo River, and the river fleet that set off from Stag City directly destroyed the pontoon bridge on the river, resulting in the main Viking force that had already crossed the river could not be replenished, and they were in chaos without a fight.

Without food, you can't last long in the ice and snow.

Without ammunition, a musket would be less effective than a burning stick.

Viscount Moneo didn't want to die, so he chose to surrender and told everything he knew, including information about the main forces under the command of the Marquis of Elken.

Sustaining 500,000 people for up to 40 days of supplies is an astronomical amount. Although there are no warehouses in the field, they can pile up food and ammunition and other baggage on dry plots, and cover them with waterproof tarpaulins. From afar, it looks like a hill.

Tianhao has all the information on the main forces of the Plantagenet Kingdom. There are many choices in front of him, and it can even be said that "you can fight as much as you want". As long as he is willing and controls it properly, he can even completely annihilate these invaders with zero casualties.

The safest thing to do is to besiege it. The white people are very unfamiliar with the northern continent, and the barbarian alliance army occupies the terrain advantage, as long as there is enough patience, and when the food stock is exhausted after forty days, the main force of the entire Plantagenet Kingdom will not be in chaos.

Unfortunately, time is not on its side.

Don't say forty days, even four days will change too much. The news of the collapse of the main kingdoms of Viking and Plantagenet cannot be concealed forever. The Saxons, the Kingdom of God, the Rhine and the Holy See will inevitably react. Despite their strength, with the total number of coalition forces (plus logisticians) exceeding three million, no one would believe that "the northern giants have been defeated, and Six has slaughtered all the barbarian races".

Once the Kingdom Alliance began to retreat, the Tyrant Tooth stationed at the fortress of Kamui would have to come under even more pressure. At the same time, countries in the South that perceive the anomaly will also react quickly. In order to rescue the main force that is blocked to the north, the countries will spare no effort to launch a frenzied attack on the Kamui Fortress. In this way, the Violent Tooth was attacked from both the north and the south, and even if he had advanced weapons that were ahead of his time, it was difficult to get into trouble in the face of the opponent's desperate style of play, and even was completely overwhelmed by the dense crowd tactics of the white people.

Tianhao didn't dare to take risks. He had to be flexible with the little force at hand. It is still a classic tactic of the civilized eraβ€”β€”β€”β€” smashing through the camp of the Plantagenet Kingdom with long-range artillery and creating chaos, with the Leo infantry charging and the Dragons cooperating with the attack. This barbaric and civilized method of warfare looks quite funny, but it is undeniably very effective and has achieved the desired effect.

The leon army is as many as hundreds of thousands, so there is no need to use it in vain. Although Shi Rui is the king of the clan, he is old and looks healthy on the surface, but he can't be regarded as young and strong in any way. When people are old, their suspicions are serious, and they always want to strive for more interests and get more praise from more people.

The Lion King has repeatedly stated that the Lion warriors are invincible and must rush forward to teach the damned whites a lesson.

Tianhao met Shi Rui's requirements.

Under the bombardment of fifty hundred and five-millimeter field guns, the main force of the Plantagenet Kingdom fell into confusion, and then immediately threw in the lion infantry, starting from the front of the entire camp (north) and pushing south.

The intensity of the artillery attack was not great. The five guns were formed in a group, and under the guidance of the observers on the lookout, they constantly adjusted the firing elements, focusing on the crowded positions, and continued to extend towards the south.

The Marquis of Elken was a strict commander of the army, but in the face of the coordinated attack of the lion and dragon infantry like wolves, the advantages of long knives and bullets at different distances complemented each other, and the cannonballs fell from time to time in the air, which exploded one soldier after another, and even the calmest mind would become broken.

The northern giant's attack was fierce, and the array of halberd hands could not be stopped. Without stable support, there can be no so-called organizational defense. The Marquis of Elken could only hope for a retreat, and he forced his subordinate officers to gather their troops as the rear guard as soon as possible, hoping to distance themselves from the northern giants as soon as possible, only in this way could they buy time to reorganize their troops and fight again.

An elite Tiger infantry entered the battle from the northeast. This is one of the reserves in Tianhao's hands, his goal is clearβ€”β€”β€”β€” he must not let the main force of the Plantagenet Kingdom have a chance to breathe, and must force them to retreat with a high-intensity offensive, forcing them to give up the food stored in the camp.

The rate of fire of the artillery was not very fast, it could even be said to be slow. Logistics supplies were equally important to the tribal coalition, and the artillery shells brought from the long distance from Rock City were one less shot. If it is needed for combat, Tianhao will never be stingy. However, the current battle has reached a suddenness, coupled with the strong fighting psychology of the Lion King and the Tiger King, although the armies of the two clans are still using cold weapons, their numbers and combat effectiveness are not lagging behind. In line with the principle of never wasting what can be used, Tianhao is naturally willing to save ammunition and prepare for the next big war.

The whole battle plan was clearly targetedβ€”β€”β€”β€” to force the whites to retreat south with a powerful offensive, leaving the existing camps.

Whether it is the main force of the Tiger cavalry or the dragoons led by the prisoner ox, the task they are responsible for is only harassment. The key to this battle is "drive", not the number of kills, let alone annihilation.

The idea of solving the main force of the Plantagenet Kingdom at once is not realistic. If it weren't for the desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food and without reinforcements, the main force of the Viking Kingdom would not have taken the initiative to surrender. According to Tianhao's prediction, this battle can eliminate about 100,000 white people. As long as they were frightened and desperately fled south, they achieved the results they wanted.

The rout of the army was like a tidal wave, and the torrent formed by up to hundreds of thousands of people was very terrifying. The time and speed of the march of the various units of the Kingdom Coalition to the north are different, and any of the troops will be overwhelmed by the defeated rebels. An unprecedented defeat, coupled with statements like "the Giants of the North is unstoppable" is enough to subvert any belief.

Calculate the time, and the news of the capture of Kamui Fortress should also reach the commander of the coalition forces. They had no second option other than a full-army retreat.

The Prisoner Bull pulled out a grenade from the ammo pouch on the velociraptor back, pulled out the fuse, and threw it at the chaotic crowd in the distance. Waves of air erupted at the landing point, and the fleeing whites were mistaken for shelling. They shouted in terror, and the exit of the camp gate leading to the Southern Highway became more and more crowded. In desperation, many whites with red eyes who wanted to flee for their lives simply picked up the thick logs scattered nearby and slammed them into the wall in front of them.

"Don't mess around, keep me calm and keep order."

"Get back to your positions and take up arms and fight. Do you still look like a soldier? ”

"Don't run, I'll shoot if I run again."

All kingdoms have the position of Warlord. Their task is to monitor and be responsible for maintaining military discipline on the battlefield. The Marquis of Elken had previously sent a large number of heralds to maintain contact with these officers. The Marquis was not disappointed, and the Warlords, mindful of their duty, shouted and demanded that the routs assemble with strong orders, but to no avail of their dues.

An Overseer with the rank of lieutenant on his shoulder was enraged. He raised his gun and aimed at the chaotic crowd and pulled the trigger, and a soldier who was busy fleeing screamed and fell down, and the people around him were immediately shocked, subconsciously stopped, and invariably looked at the wounded who were shot and lying on the ground and curled up.

The man's neck was almost broken, and the painful struggle was only a brief act, and a serious injury of this magnitude could not be healed, and he was certain to die.

The lieutenant didn't notice that there was a terrible alternative element in the air. He strode up to the arquebus, with the hot barrel of the gun, drew his saber, stabbed the dying soldier in the chest, and scolded viciously: "Keep running, I'll see how long you can run?" Article 1 of the Military Discipline Manualβ€”β€”β€”β€” Running away from battle is the most shameful act, and there is no need for a military court to rule that he should be executed on the spot! ”

He shouted loudly, and it also produced enough deterrence. Although the entire camp was fleeing, the lieutenant's shot had a local effect in the vicinity. The surrounding soldiers were shocked, and when they looked at the lieutenant, in addition to fear, there was more hatred, and even a faint provocation.

The two soldiers lunged at the same time, grabbing the lieutenant's arm from the left and right. He immediately felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and subconsciously looked down to find a dagger stuck in it. The soldier holding the hilt of the knife was full of rage, and he spun the dagger a few times, and the lieutenant felt that his intestines were about to break, and the concept of "crushing" came from the position of the liver.

"Dog mongrel, who do you think you are? Have the ability to fight giants. If you want to stay here and die, Lao Tzu will not accompany you! The soldier's face was full of hideousness.

The Marquis of Elken was in utter despair. He was unable to organize an effective defense despite his best efforts, and the so-called rearguard troops could not even see a shadow. The only thing he could do was to gather his soldiers in the south of the camp with his status and prestige in an attempt to make a last-ditch effort.

He knew very well that fleeing in this state was simply self-defeating.

The giant cavalry roaming around the south gate of the camp would not launch a large-scale attack, let alone seal the gate. Their task is to match the main force attacking from the north to form pressure, so that the main force of the Plantagenet Kingdom can form a large-scale rout faster and earlier.

"Hold on, you must hold on."

"I am the Marquis of Elken, your Supreme Commander. As long as you hold the camp, each of you will get a tael of gold. Did you hear me clearly? A tael of gold, real gold! ”

"Don't run, even if you run as fast as you do, you'll be overtaken by the giants. The only way to stop and fight is to make the right choice. Think about your family, think about everything you have, only fighting will bring you honor and wealth. ”

No matter how much they foamed, it was useless, and the defeated soldiers, whose brains were ruled by the will to survive, could not listen to any orders and persuasions. Of course, there were still some people who were affected and gathered around the marquis. It is not so much that they feel the responsibility, but that "there must be brave men under the reward".

The assembled soldiers, numbering about five thousand, formed a defense on the spot under the command of the officer. Just as the Marquis of Elken was just showing a glimmer of confidence, he saw a large number of giants appear in the north. Wielding swords and carrying rifles of thick caliber, they crushed them like mountains.

The circle of thousands of people was unusually conspicuous in the rout tide, and the artillery observers on the lookout saw it through binoculars. Soon, the artillery group that had adjusted its direction fired at the area, and the shells that fell one after another caused widespread death.

The Marquis of Elken was swept away by the violent air waves, and he fainted on the spot.

"What kind of cannon is this, and why did it explode?"

It was the last thought in his mind before he passed out.

……

Rear, field hospitals.

It is a valley surrounded by fortifications and a cordon, and hundreds of tents fill the valley along the hillside.

Shi Xin was lying on the bed, and even though it was the second day after he came here, he still felt new about everything around him.

The mattress is not very soft, but it is comfortable to lie on. It was made of rattan rope and dried flocculent from a plant, covered with off-white sheets, and quilts of the same style and color.

As the head of 10,000 people personally appointed by the Lion King, Shi Xin's performance on the battlefield was satisfactory, so he got the treatment he deserved and enjoyed this ward exclusively.

Ah Ping walked in with a white medicine box on her back and changed the medicine for Shi Xin.

Shi Xin's eyes have always been focused on her, and they have never changed.

His Royal Highness, the regent of the Dragon Clan, must not be offended. But even so, Shi Xin was still bold, and before being transferred to the rear field hospital, he asked Tianhao for the name "Ah Ping" anxiously.

Young people tend to have too much hormonal secretion. Shi Xin swore that he had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and Ah Ping's movements were always so gentle, and even changing the dressing gave him an alternative and unique feeling.

There was no third person in the tent. Shi Xin had wounds on his legs and shoulders, and in order to make it easier to change the dressing, he only wore a simple pair of underwear. The herb is a witch walker's configuration, a large pile of black paste, and when applied to the surface of the wound, I immediately feel a very comfortable coolness. Ah Ping was busy with work wearing a white mask, and she didn't even look at Shi Xin...... But the more this is the case, the more Shi Xin feels itchy.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch Ah Ping's fat waist, and said seriously: "Marry me!" ”

Shi Xin determined that Ah Ping was not married.

Ah Ping glanced at him through the mask covering the bridge of her nose and did not speak.

"When this battle is over, I will go to your house to propose marriage."
