Chapter 89: The Fall of the Iliad
Yes, in general, the reinforcement of combat units at the most critical time in the course of the battle, both in that regard, is crucial.
It's like tug-of-war. Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, and they both had to use all their strength, but they still couldn't tell the winner. This state of affairs, in military parlance, is called a phase of stalemate.
However, at this time, in this case, even if one of the parties only adds one person, then it will also have a decisive impact on the entire battle situation. And now, the battle launched by Liu Qingshan against the Iliad tribe is in this phase of stalemate. However, at this time, the additional combat troops of the Aryan tribes arrived as scheduled.
Although Liu Qingshan felt a little late for the arrival of reinforcements from the Aryan tribe, you don't think that he joined their side with a clear banner at the beginning of the battle. It seems to be a matter of attitude, or rather a matter of principle. It always makes people feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts. However, despite this, from the actual effect, this reinforcement of the Aryan tribe came at the right time.
Yes, that's exactly what happened. Liu Qingshan thought about it, if the reinforcement combat force of the Aryan tribe came here too early, it was very likely that he would be used as cannon fodder by himself, charging in front and weakening the opponent's elite strength. However, in this way, on the one hand, it is possible to hurt the feelings of the Aryans, and on the other hand, the actual combat effect may not be much stronger. And now, at this very critical time, for both sides of the battle, either side can add a straw to the other side, and the reinforcements have arrived.
For a time, the reinforcements of the Aryan tribes, like tigers descending from the mountains, shouted and howled, with a rolling momentum, towards the defensive positions of the Iliad tribes, covering all the way. Although it had gone a long way, the reinforcements of the Aryan tribe had not been damaged in the slightest. Moreover, the general in the lead also seemed to see the form on the battlefield at that time, wow, damn it, this is simply too advantageous for their reinforcement combat force. It's as if this is an opportunity that God has deliberately provided for itself.
----------------------
In fact, before the expedition, their tribal leader had secretly explained to himself that reinforcement was reinforcement, and this was not a head-on conflict between his own side and the other party after all. It is necessary to pay attention to preserving strength, and never devote 100 percent of all troops to it. However, we must be clever and not let the Ironclad God of War tribe clearly see our intentions. After all, the other party has helped us before, and we won't do something like that kind of ungrateful.
It should be said that this general still admires their tribal leader very much. Being able to see the problem so thoroughly, think so thoughtfully, and still stand at a certain height, it seems to have a very long-term vision, which is quite a bit far-sighted. Or rather, it's called big-handedness, more precisely. Anyway, he had already thought about it, when he arrived with reinforcements, first of all, he had to pay attention to the following forms on the battlefield. If the object of their reinforcements, that is, the ironclad God of War tribe, has been defeated by the other party, then it will directly return the troops and will definitely not be the other party's funeral goods.
If the Tribe of the Iron God of War wins, then this is the best. He just likes the icing on the cake, and he doesn't like to give charcoal in the snow. In particular, the snow is falling, the cold wind is howling, the whole world is snow-white, the whole world is cold, what is the use of sending that little carbon by yourself?
However, when the reinforcement of the Aryan tribe of the camp of this general, Shi Wei, had just arrived on the battlefield, the scene in front of him was completely beyond his imagination. I saw that between the two sides, almost all the troops were mixed together, and it seemed that it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser for a while. In this case, damn it, where to go, it was really a question in front of him.
However, this high-ranking general, who has participated in many important battles, has very rich practical combat experience. Although before that, he had foreseen two situations, and the situation he saw in front of him, the two situations that he had foreseen, were not in the same category. However, years of experience in the war allowed him to spy something out of the chaos at that time. That is, at this time, basically all the combat forces have been invested between the two sides, and it is difficult for either side to achieve victory immediately. Under such circumstances, if either side can get the necessary support, the situation on the entire battlefield will change in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the balance of battle will tilt in favor of the side that has received support for the battle.
Therefore, in this case, it is definitely a great opportunity for his own reinforcement combat force. Because the more at such times, the more in this situation, one's own value can be reflected.
Faced with such a great opportunity given to him by God, he naturally would not waste it. So, at the sound of an order, this senior general almost did not hesitate, and ordered the reinforcement combat troops he brought over directly into the melee battlefield.
So, for a while, on that battlefield, he suddenly added himself, and these hundreds of people were all elite combat forces. In fact, it is said that they are elite combat forces, and they are relatively similar to those on the battlefield who have fought almost ~ combat units. Under these circumstances, with the arrival of reinforcements from the Aryan tribes, the situation on the battlefield was immediately turned upside down.
On the one hand, Liu Qingshan's combat troops, after seeing the arrival of their reinforcements, were greatly boosted in morale and fought more bravely, while the Iliad, originally, their forcible attack, under the condition that they could not attack for a long time, had already become irritable and their fighting spirit was greatly reduced. Moreover, the number is so large, which is tantamount to a blow to them that is ruinous in this way.
Soon, the morale of the attacking troops on the side of the Iliad tribes was greatly reduced, and even on the verge of collapse. The army was in turmoil, no matter how their commanders at all levels deployed, and even killed several soldiers who were retreating, but they still could not stop the troops who were retreating like a tide.
-----------------------
At the same time, those engineers under Liu Qingshan finally built the first guard tower. Subsequently, General Barras made persistent efforts, on the one hand, ordered most of the combat troops, together with the reinforcements of the combat troops of the Great Aryan tribes, to pursue the victory, and to the Yellow Dragon and directly insert themselves into the nest of the Iliad tribes. On the other hand, in order to consolidate the position, organize all the siege catapults and carry out fierce attacks on the remaining guard towers.
At this time, the remaining guard towers on the enemy side, although they still continued to shoot a dense number of arrows at the surrounding targets. However, this is a melee, so in this case, the role and power of long-range attack weapons will be greatly reduced. In the melee, it is difficult to argue between the enemy and us, so whether it is a boulder thrown by a siege catapult or an arrow fired by an archer, it is difficult to guarantee that a person who can 100% of the vehicle type can mistakenly kill his own unit.
In this case, the number is much larger for ranged attack firepower than for a fixed target that is folded in the direction of the Minor Injury Alert Tower. Moreover, this kind of target, which is large and immobile, is the best target for attack, especially for siege catapults. As a result, more than a dozen siege catapults, with basically no external interference, once again exerted the power of their long-range attacks, throwing the huge momentum of one piece at a time.
"Boom boom...... Boom Boom ......Boom "Just like that, as the dense huge stones fell from the sky, with a whining sound of breaking the wind, they smashed the top of those guard towers. Soon, the remaining guard towers on the enemy side first rose up with bursts of billowing black smoke, and then, as the voices continued to come to him, one after another guard towers were ruthlessly destroyed by Liu Qingshan's dozen siege catapults.
------------------------
Basically, the siege catapult in front has just destroyed an opponent's guard tower, so the empty city behind will be fixed and follow closely, and immediately carry out the construction of its own guard tower on top of the ruins. Moreover, these projects are not very good, and they are selected from his own base camp military base, under the personal supervision of General Ark. As a result, they are very good at building. The construction speed is very fast. Finally, not long after the last enemy guard tower was destroyed, five brand-new Liu Qingshan's guard towers actually stood there.
At this time, Liu Qingshan's joint combat forces against the Aryans had already rushed to the core of the Iliad tribe. Now, they are chasing down the remnants of the opponent's soldiers. Liu Qingshan saw that the remaining remnants of the Iliad tribe were defeated, and at this time, they were like lost dogs, running in all directions, and basically lost their combat effectiveness completely. I only hate that my father and mother have two legs less, and they can't run faster.
However, in fact, at this time, under such circumstances, even if they were able to break out of the encirclement and escape from the pursuit of the coalition army, it would be impossible to escape from their tribe. Because now, the guard towers built by Liu Qingshan are standing at the exit of their Ying tribe.
Therefore, even if they were able to survive death, when they rushed to the exit of the tribe, they would be able to drink a pot of arrows from the five guard towers.
Sure enough, just as Liu Qingshan imagined, six ~ seven of the heavy cavalry were the fastest in the chaotic army, and their individual combat ability should be very good. After picking off the cavalry that was chasing them, they fled and rushed straight towards the exit of their tribe.
Yes, at this time, in this situation, it is already very good for them to be able to escape from the chaos and escape from death. As long as they can rush out of their tribal territory, then it should be said that they are basically safe. So, a few people and a few horses, galloped all the way and rushed straight towards the door of their tribe. However, just as they had rushed to the gate of the tribe, just when they were secretly happy in their hearts, just when they thought that if they had passed through the gate, there would be another safe world outside, and suddenly, from inside several guard towers, swishing, swishing, and swishing, a dense stream of arrows with the sound of breaking wind came towards them. It looked like raindrops, very dense, very fierce, it was like death was calling them.
"Ahh
Then, there was a final massacre! And this massacre, according to Liu Qingshan's latest instructions, whether it is the remnants of the enemy army or those innocent civilians, all of them must be killed. Although it seems to be a little cruel to do this, Liu Qingshan also came to such a conclusion after suffering several losses, that is, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, leaving no future troubles.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Yes, it is. Although the people of the enemy tribes who were captured by themselves all looked very innocent, in fact, it was also the most dangerous place. In normal times, they are the people, living and working in peace and contentment, and do not threaten anyone. However, when it comes to wartime, it is very different. This is especially true for tribes like those whose capitals have been destroyed.
Liu Qingshan knew that these tribal residents who had been destroyed had a deep-rooted idea infiltrated from the outside, that is, the idea of revenge. Whoever destroyed their former kingdom and tribe will never give up with you in the future. An army is made up of people. The people who formed the army came from the common people, from the tribesmen who were old and young and unharmed. Again, when there is no war in peacetime, they are all kinds of laborers, or farmers, or miners, or lumberjacks, and so on.
However, if the situation changes, then they can become an army out of revenge, as long as they have weapons in their hands. Therefore, within a tribe, there is no strict boundary between the ordinary tribesmen and the kind of fighting troops. It is also in this sense that how to deal with the remaining captives and the inhabitants of the tribe is a combat force that can have quite good combat effectiveness. It's that simple, and even, this kind of truth is so simple that people can't accept it at all. However, Liu Qingshan feels that this is very connotative.
――――――――――――――――――――――
So, in this way, in the end, Liu Qingshan gave an order, and as a result, all the people captured by the Iliad tribe, including the remnants of the soldiers, in addition, almost all the tribesmen, nobles, and their tribal leaders, were all killed on the spot. He didn't want to leave anything alive, because if he left a living mouth, it meant leaving a curse for himself.
At the same time, Liu Qingshan also figured out such an extreme way as guò, warning other tribes that if they dared to resist him again, then they would end up in the same fate. To be honest, on such a strange planet, no one cares whether you are righteous or not, and no one cares about your morality. Originally, morality is actually just a tool and a mask for a few people to disguise themselves. If you only care about benevolence and morality, I am afraid that you will not know how you died.
"First of all, I want to survive first!" This is Liu Qingshan's cry from the bottom of his heart.
In this way, the tribe of the Iliads was finally defeated by themselves. Moreover, they did not use their own reserves. Of course, Liu Qingshan admitted that the final success of this battle against the Iliads was inseparable from the timely assistance of the Aryans.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Qingshan decided to give half of the materials seized from the Iliad tribe to the Aryan tribe. After all, others helped him win this battle, so he can't lose too much to others.
In this way, the entire tribe of the Iliads, after half a day, suddenly became a ruin. War is so cruel, either you die or I live. This is the law of war, and it is better to be a prince and a prince. However, despite this, looking at the tribe that was still neighing two days ago, and now it had suddenly turned into a ruin, Liu Qingshan still felt a sense of guilt.
In desperation, he clasped his hands together, and he didn't know what he was muttering......
