Chapter 472: Reinforcements
The so-called plan, there will always be surprises, as is the case now. Gove's troops had already arrived at the decisive battle position at dawn, this is a relatively flat terrain area, a little mountain in the northwest, it is a place that seems to be more suitable for the decisive battle, Ye Junwen chose the location of the decisive battle here is understandable. However, the problem now is that Gove's troops arrived too early, although the time agreed between the two was today, but they didn't say when it would be today, after all, Ye Junwen didn't know when his troops would arrive on the battlefield, so he asked Gove to arrange the time by himself, but Gove was chased here, and there was no way to arrange it.
"Assemble the army, prepare to meet the enemy." Goff still stopped, this is the place where he made an appointment with Ye Junwen, he can't continue to run, he can only wait for Ye Junwen's troops here, so this battle is inevitable. Of course, this battle was different from the battles that they had deliberately lost before, they couldn't lose this time, and they had to hold out here until Ye Junwen's reinforcements arrived.
Gove started to form the whole team, and to be honest, the current situation is not very good for them. First of all, they have a disadvantage in numbers, and the number of people they have lost in the past few days is also tens of thousands, while the number of people on the opposite side is still close to 300,000, so the current ratio of troops is close to 1 to 2, and only half of the opponent's strength, which is already a great disadvantage. What's even more troubling is that the morale of their army is really not good.
To deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself. Of course, the soldiers in the army do not know what they are using, the current situation is that they have lost several consecutive defeats in the face of the enemy, the morale of this army can be imagined, the current situation they seem to have been chased by the enemy and cornered, in the face of this situation, the army's morale is inevitable.
There are still some problems, such as the coordination of the troops of the Third Army Corps and the troops of the Fourth Corps, after all, the troops of the Third Army are newly added, and the training of the troops of the Fourth Army is still very different in peacetime, and now it is really difficult for them to combine formations. In short, troublesome things are one after another, and in anyone's opinion, their chances of winning this battle are not very high, and they may have to be wiped out completely.
Despite this, Goff was still ready to line up here, and at this time he couldn't hide it anymore, and directly told everyone about the reinforcements.
"Reinforcements will appear, and before the sun sets, our reinforcements will arrive here, and we just have to hold on until the reinforcements arrive." Goff said.
"Reinforcements? Is it the troops of the main city? Could it be the Marshal's troops? The generals asked, this is indeed very close to the main city, if there are reinforcements, then only the main city defenders, but the question is will the main city troops leave the main city to support them? Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is still very difficult to happen, and it is a very difficult decision to send reinforcements at the risk of losing the main city. However, Goff still believed that Ye Junwen would not deceive him.
In short, the news of reinforcements restored the morale of the soldiers a little, and the troops began to line up, ready to start the decisive battle. On the other side, the army of the Cygus Empire also arrived at the battlefield at dawn. At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the view of the battlefield was not bad, and from a distance, they saw that Gove's troops had begun to line up, as if they were preparing for a decisive battle.
"Is it going to be a decisive battle here?" Monterey didn't panic, and he had fought with Gove several times before, so the enemy's reaction was not very strange, he still focused on stability, and did not let the troops go directly forward, but also started the whole team. The large battle formation is still very important, and he doesn't want to overturn at this time.
The troops on both sides began to form a team, and Monterey also felt the atmosphere of the battlefield at this time, and did not send any miscellaneous troops to rush to the front, but let his elite troops come out. He felt that although his side had won the previous battles, the enemy didn't do his best every time, and only retreated directly after a slight confrontation, but this time it was different, he had a feeling that the enemy was going to fight them with all his strength this time.
After a period of time on both sides, the formation was soon completed, and the platoon of troops was neatly arranged. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the troops of the Saigus Empire sounded the horn of attack, and the battle officially began. First of all, it is the battle of the front row troops on both sides, the battle of the front row troops is simply to push the battle line, the whole row of gunmen to push the front line against each other, this has no tactics at all, it is the front row of attrition, the competition is only the perseverance and number of soldiers on both sides.
The soldiers on both sides quickly collided together, holding five-meter spears and stabbing each other's military formations, which was no special tactic, just fighting each other, to see whose side of the formation collapsed first.
Of course, the result was obvious, after the two sides were attrition to each other for a while, the troops on Gove's side began to decline. Originally, there was a gap in the morale of the troops on both sides, and there was also a gap in numbers, and the contrast in terms of hard power was obvious that they would suffer, and the battle line began to compress to Gove's side, and the losses on both sides were very large, but the enemy's follow-up troops were almost endless, and one team collapsed and immediately topped the other, as if it couldn't be finished at all, and Gove's side was small in number after all, and the two corps had just been united, so it was very difficult to deploy, and it was really very hard.
If this kind of situation of pushing the front line collapses, the result will be a chain reaction, and after an opening appears, it will continue to expand, and finally the front line will directly and completely collapse. The current situation is already very dangerous, and Goff can see that the troops in front are a little unbearable, so after thinking about it, he directly waved his hand and began to attack on both sides of the flanks.
Seeing the enemy's movements, Monterey here also smiled, yes, the enemy moved first, which is already a big advantage, and in his opinion, he has won most of the battle. And the other party now wants to seek a breakthrough from the flank, of course it is impossible, their troops have an advantage in any aspect, even if they are cavalry troops, they are not as numerous as the other party, so they are not worried at all.
Looking at the battlefield, Monterey decided to start using stratagem. First of all, with a wave of his hand, let the cavalry on his side pin down the cavalry that appears on both sides of the enemy and prevent them from interfering with the forward troops. However, he still had a lot of cavalry, of course, he couldn't let them be idle, and after looking at the situation, Monterey decided to let his cavalry detour to the enemy's side from behind, and the hill to the northwest was a good place, if his cavalry came out from that side, it would be just right to catch the enemy by surprise.
So Monterey's side also immediately ordered the start of this plan, and the cavalry troops began to move, at this time he expected that Gove would not have time to study how their cavalry would be deployed, after all, the front line was almost overwhelmed, and this plan should be successful.
Soon, the cavalry on both sides also began to duel. Gove's cavalry troops rushed into the battlefield first, not many of the other party's troops were very elite, even in this case, their soldiers did not collapse because of panic, they resisted a little, they quickly waited for the arrival of the cavalry troops on their side, so the cavalry troops on both sides were quickly entangled together, the number was about the same, so they soon became entangled with each other, and no one could take anyone, seeing this situation, Gove's side frowned first.
"This ...... It doesn't feel good. "Yes, Goff's side smelled the conspiracy with his general's sense of smell, and although the enemy's cavalry units were fighting with them, he always felt that something was wrong. Thinking about it for a moment, yes, the enemy's cavalry troops are too small, and he knew that the enemy's cavalry was obviously more than them before, so how could he have a draw with them? Obviously not all of them were sent, where did the extra cavalry units go? Gove didn't know, but he didn't think it was good.
"Immediately expand the scope of the investigation." Goff immediately ordered. As he spoke, he looked at the sky, the sun at this time happened to rise to the highest place, that is, at noon, although the battle had only been fought for a few hours, but Gove had already clearly felt defeated, if Ye Junwen's reinforcements did not arrive, they would probably be destroyed here, and now he only hoped that Ye Junwen's troops would arrive quickly.
Suddenly, a "da-da-da" sound came to the battlefield, the sound was very loud, as if something was exploding, which made the soldiers who were fighting each other on the battlefield also stunned a little, and everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, that is, in the mountains to their northwest.
No one had heard what this sound was, why it was so huge, could it be the sound of some magical beast? The fierce battlefield calmed down a little, and everyone looked to the northwest with questions, and the one who was more nervous was Monterey, because he had only sent his cavalry troops to that side before, and now he didn't know why there was a strange noise, and the sound was amplified by the echoes between the valleys, so loud that even he could hear some of them, what was going on? His own cavalry team would definitely not make such a noise, so ...... Could it be that there was an accident?
The sound lasted for a long time, about ten minutes later, and then it slowly faded away, and occasionally there were a few sounds, but they were much quieter. The soldiers gradually got used to it, but they still didn't know what the situation was, and just as they continued to fight and pay attention to the situation there, suddenly a black figure appeared in the northwest.
"This is the enemy...... No, this is our soldiers, our flags, our reinforcements! "Suddenly the soldiers on Gove's side roared, yes, their reinforcements had arrived.
