When Zhan Botao rushed to the front of the camp fence with a few arrows, the Tang army had already entered the state of imminent battle in an orderly manner under the urging of the police post, but after all, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was the sweetest time for people to sleep, and most of the Tang troops who had experienced a long journey had fallen asleep. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhan Botao's camp method was to camp in an M shape, the first division was arranged at the junction of the depression, and the direct division and the fifth division were arranged at two protrusions, so that they formed horns with each other, and the second division acted as a rear camp reserve.

Suvorov is quite smart, he knows that his 30,000 ironclad cavalry is the key to deciding the entire West Indo-German war situation, although this time the ironclad cavalry wants to participate in the night attack, but he also knows that the advantage of the ironclad cavalry is to break through rather than entangle, and the enemy adopts a strong formation, it should be said that they have deep confidence in their own combat effectiveness, so he also cautiously took the focus on attacking the two peaks, that is, the direct division and the fifth division camp.

Zeppelin also felt the barracks for the first time, and the black-pressed ironclad cavalry almost caught Zeppelin's eyes as soon as the torches were lit, and Rao is Zeppelin was also a veteran of the battle formation, and he couldn't help but gasp. Zeppelin has not had time to rest, according to Zhan Botao's request, the whole division is mainly strengthening the camp fence and the layout of the deer fence in the afternoon, since the enemy has retreated and not left, it is clear that he is planning to have a battle in this place, since this is the case, the requirements for the camp must not be too low, not only to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp, but also to sympathize with the soldiers who are already very tired, but Zeppelin knows that it is better to be careful at this time, after all, this army is the first time to encounter, and the style is not very clear, and the soldiers would rather work harder, that is also for their own lives。

The jet-black iron leaf armor is particularly dazzling under the lanterns rising in the camp and the torches in the hands of the soldiers, and the ironclad cavalry with a black black light all over the body even hides their faces behind the iron leaf mask, only revealing a pair of eyes and two breathable holes, the iron spear is four meters long, and the heavy armored cavalry of the Eastern Continent is slightly different in that there is a small barb at half a meter of the iron spear blade, which wants to pull and destroy, which is a sharp weapon for the heavy armored cavalry of the Western Continent to facilitate the siege of the city. Since the Caucasian race in the Western Continent is generally superior to the people in the Central Continent and the Eastern Continent, especially in terms of arm strength, this kind of iron spear with hook has become the weapon of choice for the heavy armored cavalry of the Western Continent.

The whole body of the armored war horse stepped on the uniform beat, like a group of dancing knights stepping on the graceful dance steps, more like a group of moving ironclad fortresses, with the overwhelming momentum of the sea, the whole ground trembled under the trampling of tens of millions of pairs of iron hooves, the mud flew, rolled up a burst of mud and fog, but set up in front of the camp fence dozens of scattered horse rejection pits made the ironclad cavalry have some small chaos, the knights from the Western Continent are obviously not very suitable for the unscrupulous way of the Eastern army, this scattered horse rejection pit is not much, and it does not need to spend too much time and energy, but it can effectively disrupt the opponent's organized attack rhythm, especially the attack wave lined up in formationEven Zeppelin did not expect that such a routine horse rejection pit would have such a great effect, and if it was replaced by nomadic rangers or light cavalry, this effect would be greatly reduced.

However, the small number of horse repellent pits also played a limited role, and the ironclad cavalry, which had appropriately adjusted the direction and order of the total, quickly rushed through this trap area and crashed into the front of the horse refusal ditch. Juma Ditch is the first line of defense laid by the Tang Army, which is also a necessary ravine for the Eastern Continent army to camp, but in the land of Kerman Province, the sandy soil is not suitable for digging Juma Ditch, and often the sand on both sides will be poured down, in fact, it has become a trapezoidal ditch.

The Hansen Alliance is aware of this defensive measure of the Tang Army, the first wave of attacking cavalry is mostly light cavalry, they have a certain distance from the ironclad cavalry behind them, the heavy dirt bags behind the saddle prove that they are not only stupid and reckless brute attack, they concentrate on the Zhuma ditch around the camp fence to drop the soil bags, and then quickly disperse, this concentrated delivery soon made the Juma ditch in many places was filled in and lost its effectiveness, and under the guidance of the banner commanders, the Hansen Alliance's ironclad cavalry soon gathered together to launch a crazy attack on these areas。

The advance light cavalry was not without pay, under the baptism of the archers on the camp and the sentry tower, the light cavalry of the Hansen Alliance was almost not one in ten, and the three thousand light cavalry were able to survive less than three hundred people who escaped, but their sacrifice for the heavy cavalry behind them in exchange for an attack channel, which could allow the heavy cavalry to concentrate on the last barrier of the Tang army.

Zeppelin stood on the top of the watchtower, staring ahead, the bloody and violent breath coming to his nose, and he felt as helpless as a lonely boat in a roaring storm. The black-pressed ironclad cavalry swept in waves like a tide, and under the sturdy iron spears hitting and colliding in turn, the sturdy barracks soon began to show signs of loosening, and the professional guards of the Hansen Alliance cavalry were awe-inspiring enough, even if they fell from their horses, the knights still persevered in digging the barracks with spears and shovels in their hands, intending to complete the breakthrough as soon as possible.

Although the archers are quite effective against the light cavalry, it is obviously difficult for the heavy cavalry to scratch their boots and play a substantial role, and the only ones who can really cause damage to the heavy cavalry are the spearmen outside the camp fence and the deer. Lancers are not the exclusive domain of the Gao Yue people, but the number of lancers in a mixed division is quite limited, at most only two or three brigades, but even so, each wave of throwing with just the right number of lancers still caused great damage to the swarming ironclad cavalry. However, this kind of damage was not enough to stop the ferocious offensive of the Hansen Alliance, and the desperate charge soon tore a crack in the camp of the Fifth Division, and once this crack was opened, it would be fatal.

The most cutting-edge forts and watchtowers were quickly crumbled and collapsed by the repeated attacks of the Hansen League's ironclad cavalry, and this was the strongest place for the Fifth Division, but it was also the first to be defeated. As many as 3,000 ironclad cavalry concentrated their forces to storm here, the fifth division only had two brigades stationed here, including a spearman brigade, when the ironclad cavalry carried the wound of 1,000 casualties and finally destroyed the camp fence, under the cover of the heavy infantry, the spearmen began to retreat steadily after throwing the last wave of guns, with the help of the two wings of the camp fence that had not been broken down, the fifth division completed this tactical retreat at a small cost under the command of the division commander Zeppelin personally on the front line, and before the retreat, Zeppelin had arranged to use transport vehicles to arrange a second line of defense in his own camp。

Up to now, Suvorov can be said to be very dissatisfied with the effect of this raid, obviously the Tang army did not have sufficient mental preparation for this raid, which can be seen from the weak response of the Tang army in the early stage, but the Tang army's regular preparations were unusually rigorous, and the response was quite agile, and soon organized an effective defense system, although it achieved many breakthroughs under the strong impact of its own side, but the intention of quickly expanding the results of the battle was not realized. The tenacity and swiftness shown by the Tang army are completely different concepts from the Indian army in this area, and it is no wonder that the Tang people can become the boss of the Indian region so quickly.

The two tips of the M-shaped have been broken through by the Hansen Alliance army, and the two sides are in fact in a state of full-scale entanglement, and then the Hansen Alliance infantry quickly broke through at the two large breakthroughs, and the Tang Army infantry who had organized the second line of defense launched a full-scale fierce battle, and the two sides launched an unprecedented and tragic battle in every camp and every watchtower, at this time the cavalry had withdrawn from the main battlefield, and the infantry became a well-deserved main offensive and defensive force.

Zhan Botao realized the cunning of his opponent when he found that the enemy's cavalry did not advance into the depression, and the opponent also realized that his formation had a strong counterattack ability, and the Hansen Alliance chose the tactic of giving priority to attacking his two horns, so as to avoid the danger of the two wings attacking in the middle. He did not hesitate much, because he knew that under the enemy's key care, it would definitely be difficult for the forward battalions of the directly subordinate divisions and the fifth division to hold on to the enemy's frantic onslaught, and the second or even the third line of defense would be the decisive point of victory or defeat on the battlefield.

The Second Division was quickly divided into two divisions to reinforce the two wings, and with the reinforcements of the Second Division, Zhan Botao believed that this entanglement battle would eventually make the Hansen Allied Army realize the strength of the Tang Army, and he was not ready to put the First Division into it now, this was his last trump card, and when used at a critical moment, it might decide the fate of the entire campaign.

The situation of the directly subordinate division is almost the same as that of the fifth division, although the fortress-type defense at the tip has given the Hansen Alliance cavalry a painful blow, but under the impact of the superior ironclad cavalry, this kind of simple fortress-style fortress is not enough to become the decisive factor, Du Qingyun knows this even better than Zeppelin, while using the fortifications to intentionally kill and injure the opponent's living forces, he is already building the second line of defense and preparing for the second stage of defense.
