Chapter 454: Dong Ba Attacked
A scout flew to Dong Ba: "Meng's Sixth Army began to enter the clearing at the foot of the mountain south of Daying. ”
"Well, they finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to storm the camp with their superiority in strength. The chief of staff set up a plan, the open space at the foot of the mountain in the south is not large, and it may be attacked by ambushes on the mountain and reinforcements from the west at any time, and the large battalion can form a three-sided flank attack by dividing the troops out, and the enemy will be besieged when they come in, and it is difficult to break through the large camp only from the east if they do not come in. Dong Ba nodded and said.
After a stick of incense, the staff officer of the 71st Division reminded Dong Ba: "My lord, we are going to set off now, and when we arrive at the battlefield, almost one of the enemy's divisions has entered the foot of the southern mountain. ”
"Hmm. Dong Ba responded, but there was still no arrangement.
After a while, the staff officer was a little anxious, and reminded Dong Ba again: "My lord, if we don't set off again, the enemy army will have two divisions entering the foot of the mountain." ”
Dong Ba glanced at his staff officer and said disapprerovingly: "What about the two divisions, is the 71st Division afraid? That open space can accommodate up to three divisions and regiments, and wait."
The Eighth Army Corps can be instigated by anyone, but our cavalry division and regiment cannot be instigated, and I am embarrassed to assume the one-on-one and one-to-two combat records in front of the Shizi? The Shizi has set a standard for us, and if we can't do it, we can't be too far behind. ”
As soon as Ding Kui was mentioned, the people around him immediately straightened their backs and burst out with a strong desire to fight. The staff officer closed his mouth tightly, his calculations did not take morale into account, and he could no longer make an accurate judgment on the battle situation.
Qiu Jian, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Meng State, left the big tent of the Chinese army and went to the newly opened battlefield of his subordinates to personally command the troops to attack the large camp of Shaodian State.
He crossed a ravine and said to Wu Ben, chief of staff of the Sixth Army Corps, who accompanied him: "If it rains heavily, this ravine will be filled with water, and people and baggage will not be able to pass easily, so you must pay attention to the changes in the weather." ”
That's why Helian chose to start the game after the rainy season, which is about to enter August, where the weather is dry and there is very little rain. Wu Ben said that he was aware of the local climate.
"Report!" a fast horse galloped over, "Report to the marshal, a large number of enemy cavalry has been found in the northwest, and it is approaching our army at high speed. ”
"Here, what's the situation on the mountain?" Qiu Jian asked Wu Ben.
"The 51st Division has taken control of the northern foothills, and there are no problems in the rear of our army. Wu Ben replied.
"Well, hurry up and take a look, and notify the magician group to come and help. Qiu Jian ordered.
"Shuai, the magician group can't come, it's been fighting against the magicians of the Seventh Legion and the enemy magician group for the past few days, and they can only barely gain the upper hand, if they are transferred over, the Seventh Legion won't be able to withstand it. Wu Ben reminded Qiu Jian.
"Trouble, let the 51st Division pay attention to the situation at the foot of the mountain, and if the situation is not good, immediately go down the mountain to support; order the 55th Division to form a horse rejection formation to block the front, and the 53rd and 54th Divisions are divided into two wings, and must not retreat half a step, and must entangle the enemy cavalry. Hmph, no matter how many cavalry the enemy comes, they can't fit into this clearing. Qiu Jian calculated that he had four divisions and regiments, and he was confident that he would fight with the cavalry of the "world's famous army".
"The Knight Brigade is in front, the Heavy Armor Brigade is behind, the train is hanging in formation, the direction is aimed at the junction of the enemy's central army and the right flank, accelerate, accelerate!" Dong Ba saw clearly the formation of the Meng army, and commanded the 71st Division to change the charging formation in the high-speed run.
"What are you doing here? Change formation?" Qiu Jian climbed onto the hastily erected platform, "The 71st Division? ”
"71st Division!" Dong Ba shouted loudly, "What are we going to use to report to the prince?"
"Victory!" shouted all the soldiers who heard it.
"I didn't hear clearly, you tell the prince three more times!" Dong Ba stood on horseback, holding his spear high in both hands.
"Victory, victory, victory!"
The passion of the 71st Division was instantly ignited, and the knights on the back of the war horses were shouting, and the highest horse speed that had already been mentioned seemed to have increased a little.
Qiu Jian frowned and looked at the Shaodian cavalry rushing at high speed, "The car is hanging in formation!" They give me the feeling that they are the one with more people, and we are like stragglers who are scattered by them. ”
Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed up with great momentum, the ground was shaking slightly, and the hooves of the horses stepping on the ground were like beating the drumsticks on the drum surface, making a thunderous sound, and the ears of the Meng army were hit one by one, and the faces of some timid Meng soldiers began to turn pale.
"Shieldmen hold closer, pikemen grip the barrels of your guns, take a deep breath, take a deep breath!" the officers of the Sixth Legion reminded their men in a loud voice.
The three divisions of the Meng army were divided into three armies, left, center, and right, and because Qiu Jian saw that only one cavalry division was coming, he did not change the formation to meet the enemy. In his opinion, the 55th Division was enough to slow down the enemy's horseback, and the 53rd and 54th Divisions on both flanks could completely leave Dong Ba's 71st Division in one bag.
"Crash in, crash in! Turn left, give me a straight rush to Shuaitai!" Dong Ba rushed into the Meng army formation in front of the heavy armor brigade, leading the division banner straight to the Meng army Shuaitai.
From time to time, the crimson spears lit up pierced through the shield wall in front of them, and the high-speed galloping horses could knock and break the spears that stabbed at the slanted directions, while the spears that pierced the horses were picked up by the knight's spears. The Knight Brigade in the front row did not take much effort to rush into the junction of the 55th and 54th Divisions of Meng, and the Heavy Armored Brigade followed behind Dong Ba all the way to crush the enemy formation that had been knocked away, and rushed towards the Shuai Tai behind the 55th Division, and no infantry could stop this group of high-speed moving fortresses.
The banner in front of Meng Junshuaitai flew and the trombone sounded, and Qiu Jian commanded his two wings to shrink in the direction of Shuaitai.
"Marshal, please retreat, the enemy's momentum is fierce, and there is great danger here in Shuaitai. Wu Ben's cold sweat flowed out, where had he ever seen such a fierce cavalry charging into battle.
"As the commander of the First Army, how can he retreat in the midst of a fierce battle? The corps headquarters followed me to the 54th Division and ordered the 53rd Division to immediately move closer to Shuaitai and not allow the enemy to destroy Shuaitai. Qiu Jian's mouth was very hard, but his actions betrayed his weak heart.
Dong Ba came in from the junction of the 55th and 54th divisions, and then turned to the left to attack Shuaitai, and Qiu Jian's advance to the 54th division was equivalent to avoiding Dong Ba's attack route. The cavalry should not turn too many times after charging, because each turn will automatically reduce the horse's speed once, which is not conducive to maintaining mobility on the battlefield.
The 54th Division was close to the foot of the mountain and could get the support of the 51st Division on the mountain as soon as possible, while the 53rd Division was close to the blockade camp and could be flanked by the Shaodian army in the battalion at any time.
At this time, Dong Ba rushed to the front of the 71st Division with his own soldiers, this late fearless knight picked up his sword and slashed, and opened his bow left and right with both hands, and the enemy saw his red fighting armor and avoided it from afar, and no one dared to stop him in front of him.
