Chapter 115: Night Attack (3)
This night will be an unusual one.
Despite their exhaustion, the Marrakech coalition army organized several sneak attacks at night, and changed several tactics to go straight to the soft underbelly of the kobold - the lack of defenders!
However, there is no use for eggs......
In the first sneak attack, thousands of cavalry pinned down on the frontal battlefield, so that the most combat-effective mercenaries did not dare to leave their positions, while the 4,000 infantry were divided into two parts, left and right, and killed in the dark to the mountain behind the castle tower.
Unexpectedly, in the darkness, a 'dog cavalry' that could charge in the dark was killed!
The two troops were knocked to pieces and crushed separately......
Looking back, there are few people who were pecked to death by dogs and birds, and most of the casualties were caused by 'friendly trampling', so it can be said that there are more people who are scared to death......
However, the 'castle tower', which is full of spies, can't keep secrets at all, and the coalition forces soon figure out what kind of enemy they are facing......
Prince Mamun burst into a rage, reprimanded these cowards fiercely, and organized another wave of attacks!
The frontal battlefield was still the same old-fashioned, with cavalry pinning down, but the roundabout infantry fought this time with open flames, raising torches, and a large force of nearly 4,000 men, with several hundred cavalry behind them, put on a posture of strong attack.
However, this is not the first time that Tedamir has played 'Sneak Attack': "Little ones, this time we will change our costumes, instead of light cavalry, we will become dragoons!"
The kobold cavalry did not carry torches as usual, but they brought with them three hundred more 'dog-headed guns'βthe kind of flintlock mini guns that required three dogheads to operate, and the range was much stronger than that of the three-eyed guns.
As a result, the coalition forces that marched smoothly did not find the location of the kobolds until the kobolds' muskets fired a volley of dazzling fire, and found themselves ambushed on the flat ground......
After that, the horseback rider and the dog rider had another chase.
The desert cavalry wants hand-to-hand combat, and the kobold turns around and runs away on the big dog - and we're not stupid!
The pursuit battle in the middle of the night is too difficult, even if you are wearing a torch, you will lose the target if you are not careful.
The kobold cavalry, relying on their good eyesight and many handcuffs, used their handcuffs to fight back while fleeing, but they didn't expect to have the upper hand, but they fought and fought, attacking and defending in different positions, and finally dispersed the opponent's hundreds of cavalry and rushed back.
This time the reinforcement was very timely, the coalition infantry had already arrived at the foot of the mountain and was dismantling the trap, but was bombarded by Tydamir with a "dog's head version of the gun"!
The artillery on the mountain rumbled, the kobold behind him had accurate marksmanship, and the allied infantry had no suspense, and there was another big rout!
So, the carried away Tedamir led the dogs to charge collectively!
Unexpectedly, thousands of desert cavalry rushed out in the night, running to support the infantry, kobold cavalry, and collided with the desert cavalry and infantry in embarrassment, resulting in the largest casualties of their own side in this battle.
After running around for hours in the middle of the night, the men and animals were tired, and the coalition finally understood a reality - you can't fight the kobold at night!
In the end, they had to collect their troops and return to the camp.
In the luxurious tent, Prince Mamun looked at the thick 'castle tower' materials in his hand, and was almost mad with anger: "Why? Why is this happening?"
Everyone around them was silent.
The prince, who could no longer keep his calm, viciously smashed a stack of materials on the ground and scolded angrily: "Waste! Rice buckets! All are liars! Also, this shameless liar, called Ali Baba, I must break him into ten thousand pieces!"
That's right, a lot of the information on this large stack of 'castle towers' was provided by Alibaba.
However, at the moment, Alibaba is sleeping soundly......
Everyone looked at their noses and their noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, until the prince was angry, and then he carefully came up to discuss the battle situation.
However, tonight's situation is sleepy and lacking, and there is really no power to change the situation of the war.
After some deliberation, the old man finally ordered:
"Heralds, send a message overnight! Gather all the nearby chiefs and vassals, and tomorrow, we will surround you on all sides! See how many cannons and muskets you have!"
On the other hand, kobolds are actually not easy, especially Tedamir, who has been in battle many times.
After a few cavalry battles, it seems that the kobold won a one-sided victory, but in fact, the exchange ratio between the two sides is not low, and the giant dog and chocobo mounts, which are the departments with the most colors, have already changed a round of mounts.
No matter how big the Giant Dog and the Giant Bird were, they couldn't compare to the Bobu Horse, they couldn't support their armor, and their impact was not very good.
So in front of the samurai in helmets and armor, these big Wangwang just looked scary. And the foot-long 'saber' of the kobold rider is just a watermelon knife on the human side, and the power can only be hehe!
But fortunately, the night is the kobold's greatest ally, and in this night's fierce battle, another thousand allied troops rode and fell in the desert.
Xu Ping'an stood at the top of the mountain and watched the whole battle intently.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief for the victory of the night battle, looked at the military camp in the distance, and frowned: "The night battle is over, what can I do during the day tomorrow?"
The Marrakech coalition army, in fact, is not wrong in the general direction of tactics, and the defenders of the 'castle tower' are now overstretched!
Only more than 3,000 European mercenaries have a little combat effectiveness, and the likes of 'local chengguan' are simply useless, and there are still a few thousand kobolds left, but at most they only dare to dispatch a thousand, and only 100,000 urgent passes will be sent to the front line-
The rest still have to serve as the 'prison army', otherwise, what if the mercenaries and the 'chengguan' mutiny?
This is already a chronic disease within the 'Demon King Army', the kobolds, the Green Sect, and the Cross Sect all have their own ghosts, and they all rely on the 'Money God' as the glue and bundle them together. God knows what will happen once the equilibrium is broken......
"What should I do tomorrow? The pirate harbor should be over, will we send people to support? But the enemy's vassals have not yet arrived, and we can expand the army by tens of thousands in a minute!
Xu Ping'an was so worried that he scratched his scalp, he hadn't been so entangled for many years. Especially the feeling of powerlessness behind it, it's so hard.
But the experience on the battlefield also made him vaguely touch something...... An opportunity for change!
"I can't go on like this anymore, I have a feeling...... I can do it too! There's an idea that can change everything!"
Xu Ping'an, who is in his thirties and has a bleak future, vaguely sees his Cotai Strip......
However, he soon discovers that life is really up and down......
The next day, an astonishing news spread to all corners of the desert - the leader of the horse bandits, Kasan, who had been active recently, actually took advantage of Prince Mamun to personally recruit and sent troops to take Marrakech's lair!
The coalition forces went crazy, dropped a lot of supplies, and went home to put out the fire!
Li Dewan, formerly known as 'Kasan', oh yes, now renamed 'Tafilal', is standing in Prince Ma'mon's palace, leading his men to raid wildly.
According to conservative estimates, the family base can be quadrupled, and the team can be expanded by one-third!
"Very good, this step is perfectly executed! Next, there is the second step, the third step, ......"
It's snowballing again......
