XXXIV. Two Battlefields Two Situations

After tossing and turning for a long time, the army finally crossed the river, but the confusion of the formation and the poor discipline were already exposed here. In other words, Li Xi is here, I really have to ask, is this really a well-trained army? It can't be a beggar!

If you want to say that there are still soldiers, only some of the main forces of Wang Ting and Mekro are left. In fact, this is also the weakness of the rat people, and the so-called all-people are just bluffing. With the exception of a few powerful tribes, the rest of the soldiers were not considered regular armies at all.

After wasting a lot of time again, everyone finally settled down, after all, they all needed to take a break after a day's journey. Wang Khan was also tired, and gnawed on a dry ration, while Jim still looked at the map seriously and studied the route.

They need to rest for about three hours before continuing their departure at two in the morning. After about four kilometres they will break out of the forest and come to the foot of the mountain, where the terrain is open, about ten kilometres from the enemy camp, and at a normal pace, they will arrive at about four o'clock in the morning.

Sure enough, the agreement with the headquarters was about this point in time, when the enemy was sleepy, and a sudden blow should cause chaos and better expand the results of the battle.

After reconfirming that it was correct, Jim was relieved. Perhaps this will be the most glorious result of his life, and it will also be the clarion call for the nezumi to fight back.

On the other side, Harmon was rushing to the preset location with 60,000 troops, and the strong military strength gave him enough confidence that he would annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop and win the first credit for the opening of the frontier.

Both sides fantasize about the joy of victory and look forward to the fruits of victory. But whether it was all a pipe dream or a sweet dream came true would be known in a few hours.

......

As the order came, the royal army's army would set off at four o'clock in the morning, and Li Xi was also making final preparations in the camp. The task for him and Mekro is very simple, they only need to stay as a reserve force in order to deal with unexpected events on the battlefield. Although things are easy, he will not be lazy, which is a valuable insight of living and dying together for several months.

He gently wiped his saber as if stroking the woman he loved. This set of equipment is a reward given by the system, and it is also the reliance on which Li Xi depends. He's never been so serious, just to wipe down this piece of gear. Maybe it was the atmosphere of the big war that made him a little nervous.

Old Pa wasn't there, and neither did Laques's muscular tease. He knew he was nervous, but he didn't know who to talk to, so he had to be like a soldier to soothe the turmoil in his heart. In fact, he should also be excited, and he also has a place in this epic national battle. At the same time he is lost, this is not his war, and the supporting role will never be remembered.

Just thinking that the night is about to pass and the war will eventually come.

The time had come, and Sives smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the quiet enemy camp in the distance. After today, the opposite side will no longer exist: "Prepare to attack!"

"The general is going to attack, didn't you say that you would wait for Wang Khan to make the first move?" the attendant on the side looked at him puzzled.

"After all, it's Wang Khan, we can't let him take too much risk, let's get the attention, so that they can do it even more. ”

Listening to the general's words, the attendants had nothing to say, after all, when it came to the safety of Wang Khan, it was not something that a small person like him could manage. So the order was conveyed, although there was some confusion, but the truth of the military order like a mountain, everyone still understood.

Under the military order, the army surged, and the soldiers pointed and were invincible.

Under the dense charging army, the enemy camp reacted in a panic. Perhaps it was the calm of the days that reduced the vigilance of the enemy, and in an instant a large number of troops successfully entered the camp, and the so-called defense collapsed after symbolic resistance.

The people who were originally kicking in their hearts were also a little surprised by this unexpected smoothness. It's just that there is no time for doubt on the battlefield, and since it is so vulnerable, let's accomplish our feats!

As the war became more and more courageous, the worries before the battle had long been forgotten, and the so-called strong enemies were only trembling weakling, facing their swords, that is, a bunch of dazed waste. The rats were killing excitedly and burning frantically, and the long-pent-up hatred and fear were completely released at this moment.

Looking at the overwhelming offensive, Li Xi couldn't hold it back for a long time, this is a lot of feats! But Mecro on the side stopped him in time, and sobriety is the most important ability of a commander.

"Your Majesty, the battle went smoothly beyond everyone's expectations, but this is only a front-line camp, and there are at least tens of thousands of enemy troops in the rear, please stay calm, after all, the war has just begun. With Mekro's words, Li Xi had no choice but to forcibly collect the credit.

Then he asked Lao Mei suspiciously: "The strength of this kobold is not as strong as you said, isn't it just a night attack! Why did it collapse in an instant, Lao Mei, did you overestimate your opponent!"

But what greeted me was Mecro's firm answer: "Impossible, I personally participated in the defensive battle more than ten years ago, how can that bloodthirsty beast become a well-behaved cat, and the fierce battle to test us has not yet begun." In fact, I am more worried about Wang Khan's situation than here, it is almost time, and there is still no chaos in the rear. ”

Of course, Li Xi also found a problem, but it was impossible to retreat calmly after a big battle, and in the case of taking advantage of the situation, no one would take care of their doubts, so they had to take one step at a time.

......

In the wilderness, the blood had already stained the earth red, countless corpses had been trampled to pieces, and the cavalry that rushed like a huge wave completely shattered the already thin defense line. At this time, the picture staged here is the scene that the rat man should be.

As the vanguard of pathfinding, the troops of the first echelon have long been completely dispersed, and the first wave of cavalry charges has made them understand that dreams do not exist. Tens of thousands of hounds and cavalry shattered their hopes of victory.

They were followed by countless cavalry units, and on this plain formed by mountains, their might was infinitely magnified, and the vanguard of their existence as light infantry was cut and crushed like tofu, and they were completely unable to organize an effective attack.

Fortunately, the presence of the echelon saved the fate of the large forces, and at the same time as the collapse of the vanguard, the news had already reached the rear. The third and fourth echelons, which were the main forces, reacted instantly, and the corps, which was dominated by heavy infantry, set up their formations, and the stragglers drove away the defeated troops.

Of course, all this will not be Sipson's masterpiece, for Wang Khan, who has long been panicked, now he just wants to escape, he wants to go home! He wants to live! If Jim hadn't stabilized the situation, in the absence of effective command, the rear would have collapsed in the rout.

"Wang Khan, at the critical moment, please retreat to the rear and evacuate first, and let your subordinates lead the army here to block the enemy army. ”

"Okay! Mecro is very loyal, then it's up to you here. The court guards and all the troops obeyed General Jim's orders and must hold their positions. With that, Septsen withdrew to the rear with his guards.

Fortunately, Wang Khan is not a real war idiot, otherwise he would have taken away all the royal court troops, and then this battle would not have to be fought.

"All the departments obey the order, the spears are in front, the heavy steps are behind, and the bows and arrows are on standby. "As the order was issued, the soldiers began to increase the thickness of the military formation, and the first three layers were all light-armored pikemen, which were of course much shorter than the human spears, and the queue was not neat, but it was superior to the large number.

As an effective force to restrain the cavalry, they had to hold their ground. As long as the cavalry can be held back, it is worth it even if they are all killed. Then there were the layers of heavy infantry, and they were the main force of the strangled cavalry. Don't look at the kobolds' cavalry, but this is not a cavalry in the orthodox sense, the mount is just a large hunting dog, and the impact is far less fierce than that of the cavalry. If there is an advantage, it is that the rider and the hound can attack at the same time, and the number of troops is doubled.

In order to achieve victory, the nezumi can only rely on a tight military formation. The archers have already stepped forward to stand by, although the range of the nezumi is very poor, but the bow and arrow of 10,000 people can consume some troops. What's more, after shooting two rounds, they can also turn into infantry and continue to participate in the subsequent battles. In fact, it took a lot of time to arrange the formation, and if it weren't for the rout of the field that hindered the cavalry, maybe Jim would not have had the opportunity to reorganize the army.

Harmon watched the rout of his enemies from a distance, his eyes calm and full of contempt. It only took a moment to engage the enemy, and tens of thousands of nezumi would collapse, so winning so easily didn't arouse any interest in him at all. It seems that the cavalry is enough, and the follow-up infantry should not be useful. It is estimated that Wang Khan is in the rear army, so let's kill it quickly, there are still a lot of meritorious deeds in the big camp!

Thinking of this, Harmon gathered the cavalry that were slashing everywhere again, and the cavalry that remained in formation, carrying an indomitable momentum, charged towards the last enemy army.

The huge torrent is rushing towards the last barrier, and the deafening sound of stomping on the ground is pounding everyone's hearts. Subconsciously swallowed their saliva, the strong pressure of the group's charge was destroying their psychological defense. The front-line shooters had already ignored the order and shot their weapons one after another, expecting the fall of the enemy troops.

But the cavalry, far beyond the range, seemed to be laughing at the weakly dropped bow and arrow, which was really ridiculous and funny. And when the disillusionment of no gain was shattered, the troops that were originally just a commotion had become a noisy city, and countless soldiers threw away their weapons directly, turned around and ran towards their main formation.

"Kill!" Jim's sweaty palms slashed the lives of the deserters, and the phalanx of spears under the command fired one after another, completely extinguishing the hope of a rout.

In fact, fear has already infected everyone, and only a tight space can soothe the uneasiness in the heart. Whoever wants to destroy their formation will have to go to hell.

The bloody cannibalism has finally awakened the soldiers on the front line, and now that there is no way back from the enemy, where should they go? Perhaps, in the face of death, cowardice does not necessarily mean failure, and being strong is not necessarily destined for success.
