Chapter 071: Night Battle (Part II)
Breakthrough warfare, according to the general military strategy, is to use superior forces to carry out concentrated strikes, seeking a point as a breakthrough, like an awl, chiseling through the encirclement.
Especially in cavalry combat, it just gives full play to the mobility and chiseling ability of the cavalry, tears the breakthrough to the maximum, and the encirclement naturally collapses, as long as the cavalry wants to run, are you afraid that those two-legged guys will catch up.
However, Carey's battle orders do not seem to be very realistic.
"Silin, my lord, will be fine, will it be fine?" Augustin said as he looked at the soldiers around him.
At this time, everyone was using this last moment to adjust their mentality, and no one cared about their conversation, as battalion commanders, they still had a bit of status, so there was no one who didn't get close to the two meters around Xilin, Augustin, and Benson.
In the army, Xilin's reputation seems to be much greater than when they were in the academy.
Benson was also at this time, as usual, Augustine and Cillin's conversation, he generally did not interject, unless it involved his personal relationship, rather, Benson's orientation in some aspects.
Augustine has always been a curious ghost, no matter when, for his question, Xilin will often patiently explain, but today, it seems that Xilin can't understand Kaili's approach, isn't this just giving the demons a chance to be eliminated one by one, and besides, the twenty-seventh corps has to be separated with such a few people, and let hundreds of people break through the encirclement of nearly 10,000 or even more demons, which is simply self-defeating!
But no matter what, they still obeyed the order, and the doubts in their hearts were only doubts.
For Augustin's familiar and curious eyes, Xilin only glanced at it slightly: "Why don't you just ask the adult, I think he will tell you the reason, but let's think about how to break through, damn it, I don't know where so many demons came from." ”
Cillin was speaking to Augustine at first, but the more he went on, the more it looked like he was talking to himself.
When Xilin was still discussing the good or bad plan, Buniel's army had already had a beautiful encounter with the demons, a beautiful central chisel piercing, coupled with the flank response that Bunier had already thought of, they almost ate nearly a thousand demons, and of course, there were two hundred excellent warriors missing in their ranks.
Five to one, such a record is excellent in any army, but in the twenty-seventh cavalry figure, this is nothing, or, it can be counted as a huge loss, you know, the twenty-seventh corps is the best soldiers, and the opposite side is just some natives who are still drinking blood.
Bunier led the subordinates directly under the Second Banner Regiment, and watched his comrades-in-arms who had been together in the past fall to the ground one by one, but Bunier still had no mercy.
"Damn, if it weren't for too many enemies, none of the last hundred cubs would be able to escape!" Bunier led the army back to the position before the encounter, looked at the boundless demons in front of him, and scolded angrily.
Indeed, at the last moment, Bunier had already surrounded two or three hundred demons, and that was the meat that was cut when it was chiseled, yes, they called it meat, the kind that was slaughtered by others.
But the fat meat is in front of him, and Bunier has not yet ordered the siege, and the demon soldiers who were scattered rushed up screaming again, and Bunier had to give up the idea of strangling the fat meat, after all, his own strength is limited, in case he wants to be entangled by those guys of the demon clan, this is not a joke.
This is just a scene in the scene of Kairy's dispatch of various breakout troops, although Bunier was the first to encounter the demon army, but not long after the fight on their side, the news of the battle also came from the scouts from all sides.
Carey was looking up at the sky at this time, very clear, like the dark blue glazed vase in the palace, except that the vase was not decorated with beautiful stars.
There were more than 12,000 cavalry soldiers, and only half of them were left when the mission was issued, and the fierce battles during the day and the defenses laid around at night had already caused the 27th Corps to lose nearly 6,000 imperial elites.
Looking back at the more than a thousand figures behind him, Carey sighed softly, except for the guards and battalion officers who were extremely close to him, even Xilin didn't hear Carey's sigh.
Kaili didn't rush to give the order to attack, and the demons didn't kill in front of him, Kaili was waiting for the opportunity, and the demons were slower, after all, it was a very laborious thing to use some stupid big guys to attack the camp.
"My lord, let's retreat, the warriors are almost overwhelmed, and if we continue like this, we will be 'eaten' by the demons." It was the captain of Dyna's guard who spoke, and he was holding Dinah's arm at this moment, for fear that the brave flag bearer would rush forward like his life.
The battle situation on Dyna's side is also not easy, facing several times or even dozens of times the enemy, even if it is an elite, there are times when it can't stand it, and General Clarence is not there, although the order of the head of the Kaili Banner is still valid, but obviously, Clarence is not only a commander for them, but also a guide of faith.
"You let me go, let's do one more round, and then we will meet up with that kid Jeffrey!" Dyna's command was not wrong, and not only that, but it was arguably the best command he had ever commanded in his year as Commander of the Banner.
But for one reason, he was really aggrieved in his heart, just now he had already broken out of a layer of encirclement, as long as he interspersed with roundabouts, he could make the demons in front of him dizzy.
But I didn't think that he fell into the trap of those natives, the place where he rushed out just now was not an encirclement, but an ambush that deliberately led him to the bait, due to the limited vision at night, those ambushed demons did not light the torches, and the sudden attack made him lose hundreds of soldiers, and finally it was nearly a hundred soldiers after the palace, he was pulled back by the captain of the guard.
However, none of the more than 100 soldiers behind the palace could come out.
"My lord, let's go, according to Lord Carey's order, let's make peace with Battalion Commander Jeffrey, so that we can save some troops, otherwise we will really lose the chance to break through, think about the hundred or so soldiers just now, they are all heroes of the empire, my lord, they can't die in vain!"
Dana looked at the captain of his personal guard in a daze, Dana remembered that he had just become a battalion officer that year, and was seriously wounded in a battle, and it was the man in front of him who carried him out of the pile of dead people, which was more than ten kilometers away, and as soon as he carried himself to the camp, he fell to the ground, and because of this, his personal guard captain became a cripple.
He took a deep breath and looked at the demon army in the distance, which was like a mountain and a sea.
"Withdraw!"
Dana shouted the retreat order that he would remember for the rest of his life!
