An enemy from an alien continent has only been in the Xiusiari Continent for less than a year, and he has been able to master the time and location of the continent proficiently, and such an enemy cannot be underestimated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoHebrew made a desperate move to push the heavy infantry and longbowmen forward, in order to force them to confront them head-on.

As soon as they stepped within range of the longbowmen, the hoplites stopped. The four thousand longbowmen behind him took turns throwing arrows into the sky, but because the distance was too far and the projectile had no crosshairs to speak of, the lethality was not great, but the light infantry squadron standing at the forefront suffered a devastating blow.

The light infantry in simple leather armor around him could not resist the attack of long arrows, and the hastily raised round shield could not stop the dense rain of arrows, and the soldiers in the front row were instantly shot into hedgehogs. Tadao Kosaka gave several orders, and all the light cavalry at hand was sent out, while the light infantry scattered in all directions, intending to reduce the damage dealt by the longbowmen.

The Oslan cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, seized the opportunity and immediately formed a charging formation and pounced into the chaotic alien camp.

The charge formation of 5,000 light cavalry was very fast, and after withstanding two volleys of alien longbowmen, they rushed into the chaotic light infantry formation. At the same time, the last four thousand light cavalry of Hebrew were also sent into the field, and the light cavalry, who had been basking in the sun for a long time, had been waiting impatiently, and the horses had been ordered to spread their hooves and run.

Perhaps it was because he had been exposed to the sun for too long that Hebrew's mind began to get confused. He actually exposed the large number of longbowmen directly in front of the opposing cavalry at the most important moment. The light cavalry scattered by Tadao Kosaka immediately turned into two sharp swords and stabbed into the body of the longbowman from both directions at the same time. The 2,000 heavy infantry defending the front had no time to return to help, and could only watch as their robes were slaughtered by the enemy. And the nearest light cavalry that came to support was still two hundred meters away.

Tadao Kosaka seized this opportunity tightly and used the light infantry of the eight squadrons in front of the formation to hold on to the 5,000 cavalry that rushed in. At such close range, the firecrackers and longbowmen were almost every shot, and the balance of victory was constantly tilting in the direction of the aliens.

Later military strategists commented on the largest war that took place in the Long-Han calendar, and came to the conclusion that: Hebrew was so anxious that he made two wrong moves. One, the defenseless longbowmen were pushed to the front line, flanked by less than 5,000 light cavalry guards. Second, after the longbowmen disrupted the enemy's light infantry formation, all the hussars of the escort were thrown into battle. The longbowmen were simply not able to play a greater role in the melee, and after only two rounds of arrows were fired, they had to withdraw from the battle, while handing over the wings of the longbowmen to the enemy without reservation.

It can be said that if it were not for the command of these two pry scales, perhaps the victory or defeat would not be known. There are still three brigades of Oslan soldiers on the battlefield, of which the knight unit accounts for more than half. There were only two brigades of alien soldiers left, half of which were light infantry. The Hebrew light cavalry that had thrown themselves into the enemy could only destroy the useless light infantry that had already created disarray, but at the expense of a large number of longbowmen and his own remaining squadron of heavy infantry.

Perhaps by this time, Hebrew had also discovered Tadao Kosaka's scheme, otherwise how could he have allowed him to push the team past the midfield and do nothing. The light cavalry that rushed in could not retreat, and the chaotic light infantry completely blocked the retreat of the light cavalry, and the large swords waved indiscriminately cut down the horses. Tadao Kosaka gained the absolute initiative in this battle with the cheapest soldiers. Now, even if Hebrew threw more cavalry in, it would not be able to salvage the defeat.

"Mingjin, collect the troops. Hebrew sat down in his chair in collapse, and the soldiers who heard the order to retreat ran back quickly, and all the remaining knights of Osland rushed into the battlefield to cover the rest of the soldiers' retreat. After ordering the elimination of the remaining light cavalry in the encirclement, Kosaka gave up the pursuit and slowly returned to the camp.

In this battle, the Oslan Empire dispatched a heavy cavalry brigade, a light cavalry brigade, two light infantry brigades, five longbow squadrons, two heavy infantry squadrons, five mixed squads of mages and priests, and a berserker squad because they did not participate in the war to be preserved, plus four squads directly under the marshal for a total of 48,000 people. Among them, 834 heavy infantry, 256 light infantry, 1,687 longbowmen, 2,768 heavy cavalry, and 4,528 light cavalry were killed in battle. A total of 10,073 people, 2,568 were injured. The total number of casualties was 12,641.

The alien race dispatched a mixed brigade of light infantry and shield soldiers, two squadrons of longbowmen, a squadron of firearms, two squadrons of samurai warriors, and five squadrons of light cavalry, totaling 20,000 men. In this battle, 1,052 light cavalry, 5,254 light infantry, shield squadrons were completely destroyed, 251 firecrackers were killed, and 3 samurai were killed. A total of 7,560 people were killed, of which light infantry accounted for more than half of the casualties. The number of wounded was 1,689 people, the vast majority of whom were also light infantry. The total number of casualties was 9,249.

The governors of both sides did not speak for a long time, and in terms of casualties, the number of aliens was slightly less than that of the Oslan Empire. However, the proportion of casualties among the alien races was nearly 50 percent, which can be said to be a tragic victory.

Later generations of military strategists were discussing why Hebrew still had 7,000 heavy cavalry on hand and had not yet joined the battle, so why he didn't fight for it on all fronts, maybe there would be a turnaround. But a few experienced military strategists answered their doubts, and the battle lasted for almost three hours, and the other soldiers might be fine, but the heavy cavalry had lost the ability to fight even if they sat there for three hours in the hot summer, let alone continue to fight. A significant number of the wounded in Oslan were heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, and the cause of the injuries was heat stroke. Hebrew might have won if he had used these two classes as their main force in the first place, but he wouldn't have done that. Anyone knows that heavy cavalry and heavy infantry are too expensive to build, and each of them is an imperial nobleman, and every war is used to minimize the number of these two types of troops. The number of casualties of the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry now exceeds 4,000, which is very rare in history.

So this is also the reason why several other elite units of the empire call the "Red Panther Knights" "Red Cats", because they are so expensive, expensive that they are only suitable for ornamental objects and not really go into battle.

The death of three thousand hoplites, which will make it impossible for the empire to recover troops of equal size for the next five years.
