1988 Wilderness Winter Battle (6) The Deceased
The decisive battle between the two armies was on the Moang Beach, the crisp sound of the metal breaking of the guns and knives resounded like a hellish battlefield, and the 38,000 Dongting troops desperately maintained the battle line under the weight of the two sides that were twice the number of their own, and on the fierce battle line, the banner of the Dongting Thousand Knife Tent was like rolling in the black wave,
"Forward, crush them!"
The East Courtyard Thousand Knife Tent shouted loudly, and led his subordinates to rush towards the steel triangle composed of the Falcon Empire cavalry in front, scimitar to scimitar, the same grassland cavalry, countless warriors on both sides fell their horses in the staggered collision, and then were hacked to death by the whirling scimitars, people cut people, and horses hit horses. Nearly 100,000 cavalry were crowded on a shock arc of less than two thousand meters, and the war horses rolled like a wave, flapping, colliding, tearing each other with all the weapons they could use, and blood splattered on the faces of the warriors on both sides, making them look like hideous bloody people.
The two sides fought to such a distance, all they could do was to swing their swords, swing their swords, and swing their swords, and the undulating black armor covered the ground in front of them, this was a contest between iron and blood, without any trickery at all, steel and will, this was a battle with no way out, from the beginning of the formation outside the valley, like a wolf's eyes looked at the cavalry on the opposite side that was several times his own number,
"My lord, give the order to retreat! The number of the other party is obviously more than ours, and the equipment is much better, everyone will be killed in this way!" A blood-covered Dongting Thousand Knife Tent retreated from the front, and loudly reported to Zamu Hebi, the battle situation was extremely unfavorable for Dongting, and the enemy's fierce attacks like a tide were endless,
Even the stubborn steppe warriors began to be shattered like withered leaves swept by a terrible wind under several onslaughts, "My lord, the enemy is beginning to break through the middle!" shouted one of the cavalry guards, pointing ahead
"In the middle!"
The face of Zamu Hebi, who was mobilizing troops, changed, and he had long sensed that something was wrong, although the impact from both flanks was fierce. But there is always a lack of strength to be able to make a final decision, he is not a person who does not know anything about the Falcon Empire, whether it is the time when he ran into a wall outside the long wall or when he was fighting against the Empire, he was trying to search for information from the Empire, at least according to what he knew, although the Falcon Empire was dominated by foot combat, the Imperial Guards cavalry it had was already known as the First Cavalry of Obarro, such a large-scale battle, how could there be no Imperial Guards cavalry!
Hearing the shouts of the escort cavalry, Zha Muhebi raised his head in astonishment. Sure enough, I saw a large cloud of white smoke and dust in the middle of the battle line, which was the broken ice on the ground carried by the heavy horses' hooves.
"Charge, long live the Empire!"
Loud and loud like a mountain and a sea, I saw that in this confused ice fog, countless falcon cavalry in black armor, like a black rainstorm shot out of an avalanche, slammed on the already shaky battle line of the Dongting people,
Smack. The black guards cavalry gathered into a powerful shock and penetrated from the front of the Dongting people who were struggling to support, and the Dongting battle line of 38,000 people. With the heaviest troops in the middle line, the main battle cavalry of the East Court with a full 20,000 people was the backbone of the entire engagement line, but it was unexpectedly broken up by the heavy war horses of this cavalry wearing thorn armor.
A whole platoon of steppe warriors rolled off their horses. The Dongting cavalry in the back row was still sitting on their horses stupidly, their eyes straight at the black tide of devilish enemies completely filling the space that could be seen, "Kill!" In the loud shout, the wind brought by the war horse blew the Dongting people like weak grass in the wind, and at the same time, because the speed of the breakthrough was too fast. The cavalry in light armor in front of them turned on their backs, and almost the entire platoon was crushed.
The Falcon Guards cavalry who rushed into the array of the East Court people didn't even look at it. The war knife in his hand was casually swaying with a flying snow-bright sword light, and the Dongting cavalry was a little stunned, these Falcon Imperial cavalry that broke through were different from the previous grassland cavalry attire, but heavy armored cavalry!
"Order the two flanks to close the battle line! Withdraw from Taniguchi behind the back"
Zha Mu Hebi ordered loudly with a blue face, he could see that these black cavalry were definitely the killer weapon hidden by the other party, the elite of the real final word, but he was not worried, the opponent's middle chiseling tactics were useful for other troops, but it was of little use to the steppe legions who were accustomed to fighting separately, and the steppe people were often chaotic in battle, and rarely cared about the array problem,
The tactics of the steppe people are to rely on the advantage of longbows and strong horses, and take a war of attrition of fighting and running, stopping and fighting, and there are not many cases like this kind of head-to-head duel, unless the other party can find the battle flag of the main army of the side from dozens of thousand-knife tent battle flags, and Zha Mu Hebi thinks that the possibility is very small.
The size of the main flag of the Dongting Army is the same standard as other battle flags, and the decoration is a long velvet of one color, the difference is only in the small golden dome at the top of the battle flag, not a person who is familiar with the military system of the East Garden, he has long been dazzled by all kinds of thousand-knife tent battle flags, where can he still tell where the main flag of the East Court is,
"Look, my lord!" the cavalry next to him made an anxious voice again
Zamu Hebi was stunned for a moment, only to see that the Falcon Imperial cavalry who had entered the middle was as if he knew the main banner of the East Garden, and one of them attacked in the direction of the main banner regardless of it.
"Well, what's going on? Could it be that there are spies among us!" Zha Mu's eyes turned red, and he thought of the worst situation in his heart, if he wanted to say that the other party had hit a big luck to find him, that would be self-deception! Dozens of military flags, how could they have decided that this side was the main flag!
"My lord, what should I do?"
The escort cavalry asked with a solemn expression, because most of the reserves were lined up, and now the strength left in the main banner of Zamu Hebi was less than a thousand people, and the black-armored cavalry rushing in was definitely tens of thousands
"What are you waiting for, evacuate immediately with the battle flag!"
Zha Mu Hebi shouted angrily, the battle flag is the soul of the army, and the grassland people have a special emotion for the battle flag, thinking that it is the soul of the hero, and it is the protection of the immortal sky.
In such a big melee, once the battle flag is cut off by the enemy, it may not only fall into chaos, but also a heavy blow to morale that cannot be repaired.
The already inferior front line will immediately collapse, and the scattered steppe cavalry will never be able to continue fighting
"Zha Mu Hebi, take your life!" "Far away, it seems that someone is shouting on the other side, it turns out to be Dongting "Brother Jin'er, this traitor!" Zha Muhebi's pupils constricted unnaturally, and the hand holding the horsewhip tightened, no wonder the Falcon Cavalry found his main flag so accurately, (to be continued......)
