Section 22 Breaking the Formation

After muttering for a long time, Dominic's face was grim, but he was hesitant in his heart, this Northwest Army actually abandoned the southern front and went to the north of Jiama and Fanlin, could it be that Li Wufeng was really willing to lose these tens of thousands of troops? You must know that this is the main force of the Northwest Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere must be something strange in this, Dominic's heart is like a boulder falling, heavy and extremely uncomfortable, but this matter is not trivial, at present, there are only less than 60,000 troops in Jiama and Fanlin, especially Jiama has less than 20,000 troops, and what kind of goods is CatritzDominic also knows very well, once the Northwest army is really in the city, Jiama is afraid that he will not be able to resist at all, right?
"My lord, I can't delay any longer, please give an order quickly, as long as I can keep the horse and the Marquis of Catlitz, everything can be done slowly. If the Marquis of Catritz had three longs and two shorts, I am afraid that even General Miley would not be able to bear this responsibility. Seeing that the other party was reluctant to express his position, the middle-aged man became a little impatient, and his words were not so polite, and the threat in his tone was exposed.
"Hmph, it's up to me whether I should send troops or not. Dominic replied lukewarmly, choking the middle-aged man to say no more, having said that, but Katritz's identity does need to be considered, even if he is a gentleman, but after all, he is still an imperial general, if he is really captured by the Northwest Army, it will also be a shame that the empire will be difficult to erase away.
It's just that this Li Wufeng has always been cunning and resourceful, and he went straight to the north with such fanfare, it is difficult to say whether it will be a conspiracy to attract his own army to attack, and just as he was hesitating, another panting report came in from outside the tent.
After receiving the urgent information sent back by the scouts, Dominic's face became even more ugly, and even the Northwest Army stationed in Taixuan Mansion was dispatched? Could it be that they really wanted to take down the Jiama? The complicated situation was so complicated that for a while Dominic only felt haggard.
If you go north for reinforcements, if you fall for Li Wufeng's tricks, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to complete my mission; but if I sit back and watch, once the armor horse is lost, I am afraid that I will sit back and watch the friendly troops ignore it, delay the fighter plane, and even declare personal vendetta These crimes will be imposed on myself, and this is really a cliff on the left and a steep rock on the right, which is not an easy way to go.
"My lord, what are you waiting for? If you don't feel safe, even if you send half of your troops to reinforcements, as long as you ensure the safety of the horses, you can let them return to the division when the time comes. The middle-aged man finally couldn't help it again.
With a long sigh, Dominic sat back in his chair, originally the coach let him stay in order to borrow his calm and sophisticated, but Dominic himself also knew that the other side of calm and sophistication was the lack of flexibility and decisiveness.
Wu Feng stood in the bushes on the high ground in the distance, staring coldly at the enemy army who could already see the smoke and dust rolled, this Dominic was really cautious enough, although he received an urgent report, he was stunned and refused to send reinforcements, if it were not for the cooperation of the Taixuan army, I am afraid it would be really difficult to force out the other party.
"My lord, the enemy has dispatched 40,000 troops, the main force is less than ten miles away from here, and the forward has reached the front five miles. Kang Jianguo, who had an eager expression, followed closely behind Wu Feng, and his words were so excited that his words changed a little.
"Look at your useless appearance, isn't it just an ambush battle, is it worth your excitement like this?" As if trying to adjust the atmosphere, Wu Feng smiled nonchalantly and joked about himself, the original first captain of the guard.
"My lord, do you know that in order to look forward to this battle, Wei Chibin and I have been waiting for several years, and everyone has a part in the war in the past few years, but we have no play, the nest is in Qingyang, even if Qingyang is a fairy hall, we have to suffocate people." We are all soldiers, what are soldiers, soldiers are used to fight, stay there all day to practice exercises, life is as dull as water, even if you don't go to the battlefield, anyone will be unenergetic, sometimes I think, if I continue like this, I don't know if I will go crazy. Kang Jianguo did not hide his desire to fight in front of his boss, and his naked mind also expressed the simplest idea of being a soldier.
"Hmph, I think about fighting a war all day, who will fight a worthless war? War is only fought for greater interests, and the time is not ripe, how can a war be fought? Ridiculous!" Wu Feng shook his head, he also knew that what he said from the perspective of a politician could not be heard by a natural soldier like Kang Jianguo, and he didn't want to explain more, so he turned his attention to the enemy army that was getting closer and closer.
The Kaman army, which was on the march, swam swiftly in the direction of its own ambush like a long black dragon. The reason why he chose this place, Wu Feng also made full research in advance, the terrain here is moderate, to be honest, it is not a good place to ambush, but he also knows that the opponent is cautious and conservative, even if he sends troops, he will choose a road that is difficult to ambush to prevent an attack, and this road just has these conditions. The open terrain makes it easy for the opponent's pathfinder scouts to find the enemy in ambush, and it is purely delusional to carry out a surprise attack here, so Wu Feng also gave up the idea of a surprise attack early on, he expected that the other party would definitely ride lightly in order to hurry, so he had already made all kinds of preparations.
"My lord, the enemy has entered the encirclement, according to the intelligence report, it should be about 40,000 people, including about 30,000 light infantry, about 10,000 light cavalry, and light cavalry in the front. ”
"Well, it seems that the other coach still doesn't dare to risk losing the armor horse, and actually took out half of the troops to reinforce, hehe, it's exactly what I want. After listening to the intelligence report, Wufeng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his fist excitedly, and couldn't help but make two laps in place, "Very good, order the heavy cavalry on both sides to prepare, and let Zeppelin and Song Tianxiong proceed according to the plan!"
Suddenly the whining horn sounded in the wilderness, and the mournful sound of the horn rippled through the fields, followed by a sound like a thunderbolt rolling in the middle of the sky faintly on the horizon of the wings.
When the strange horn sounded in the wilderness, Sergei, the commander of the Northern Aid Cluster, the deputy commander of the Seventh Corps, turned extremely pale in an instant, his lips trembled nervously, and he tightened the reins of his horse, and he didn't have time to say more, and squeezed out a cry from his chest like hell: "The 20,000 or 30,000 troops are ready to defend and fight left and right, and the 40,000 people are organizing defenses backwards!"
Some desperate Sergei can already imagine what a clumsy trap the so-called Northwest Army's march into Jiama is, and even the corps commander seems to see the obviousness of this trap, but the bait in the trap is the safety of the Marquis of Catritz, so that including the corps commander and himself have no choice, maybe this is fate.
Although he quickly reacted correctly, Sergei did not think that this would bring much security to the already besieged army, and the other party dared to set up an ambush here, so he naturally made a complete strategy, and while arranging the defense, he also silently prayed in his heart for his army, hoping that the situation would not be as bad as he imagined. But the sound of thunderous hooves approaching from both sides completely shattered his illusions.
"Oh my God! Heavy ironclad cavalry!" Everyone including Sergei quietly shivered from the inside, and several staff officers of the accompanying army even covered their eyes exaggeratedly, the number one nemesis of light infantry, especially in this wilderness, there is no place to hide, and even some simple fortifications have not had time to build!
Before he had time to think about it, Sergei's pale cheeks suddenly flushed, and he shouted: "Push all the vehicles, tents, and logistics sundries to the sides, the infantry shrink, form a double defensive line, and the archers are concentrated in line to prepare!"
"My lord, what will we do in the future if the logistics are lost?" a staff officer asked inophinctly.
"Fuck you! You can live until tonight!" A palm knocked the staff officer to the ground, but turned his face around, Sergei, who has always been known for his calmness, flashed a crazy light in his eyes, and casually pointed at the intelligence officer who had been standing next to him, and squeezed out a few words from his throat, "Didn't you say that the main force of the Northwest Army had already arrived in Jiama? Why did it appear here again?
"I don't know about this, Shogun, but based on the information we have;;;;;;"
"That's enough! You lied about the military situation and trapped our army surrounded by the enemy, and the crime is unforgivable! Come on, drag this guy out and behead me for me!" It was really difficult to control his emotions, and Sergei couldn't help but interrupt the other party's words and shouted loudly.
"You, you, you can't, you have no right to dispose of me, I belong to ;;;;;" Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man had already been grabbed and dragged out by several wolf-like law enforcement gendarmes.
The rows of heavily armored ironclad cavalry under black pressure seemed to make the earth tremble with every jump and gallop, the horse's hooves flew up, rolling up countless muddy waves, the heavy snort and snort of the war horse gathered together like a fierce giant beast making the final sprint, the long-pole iron halberd gun of the flat push waved bursts of dark clouds, and the momentum of the mountains and seas was like the sea rain and wind in the depths of the sky, and it rumbled with an unstoppable momentum.
Although the fate has been sealed, as a soldier, the lightly armored and thin-helmeted infantry only made a slight wave, and soon stabilized, stepping on a firm pace, slowly moving forward, and the round shield heavy sword and long knife were slowly raised, if this kind of defensive posture was to deal with the impact of the light cavalry, it might have some effect, but if it was to deal with the heavy cavalry covered with thick armor, it was not enough.
It was like a crazy wave hitting a sand wall, no matter how thick the sand wall was, but under the impact of the huge wave, it suddenly broke apart, and courage was not full strength, especially in this kind of hand-to-life battle between the two armies, the natural restraint of the arms immediately made the defending side pay a heavy price but still could not stop the opponent's advance.
The attack of the bow and arrow seemed to scratch the itch of the boots, and it was difficult to kill these armored cavalry, and the combination of short blades and tall horses and long halberds was so weak and helpless, although the defending soldiers were also desperately fighting, but to no avail.
Every swing of the halberd stirred up a wave of blood, and the violent trembling took on a one-sided situation, like rolling soup and fertile snow, galloping across the country, invincible, tearing the entire defensive front into a pair of beggar's tattered clothes.
