2012 Breaking the Army (2)
On January 27th, in the early morning, the main cavalry of the Falcon Imperial Army, which reached out fifty miles to the west, finally caught the main force of the retreating coalition army in a section of the river, and with the news from the scout cavalry, the coalition camp in front was scattered out of the large camp of more than 20 miles, and the eyes of the imperial generals who galloped all night suddenly lit up, and everyone was in the battle formation for a long time, and immediately reacted, and there was no suspense about the victory of this battle.
Originally, it was planned to face desperate resistance from the elite troops of the coalition army, but now that more than 100,000 troops are scattered into a camp of 20 miles, how much resistance will there be in the face of attacks? The infantry against the cavalry mainly relies on the dense spears of the infantry phalanx, and if they cannot gather their troops, they will suffer a tragic massacre.
Of course, the fat man didn't think that with the 50,000 imperial cavalry who had been running all night and were almost overdrawn, he could easily wipe out the huge and somewhat excessive coalition camp in front of him in one fell swoop.
At a distance of five miles from the coalition camp, the cavalry stopped advancing and rested on the spot, and the 30,000 assault cavalry, which was the backbone of the main battle, began to move closer to the team, and the fat man personally summoned the generals and said in a condensed voice, "Although the coalition camp is loose, it is organized according to their respective countries, and in case of attack, they will inevitably be closed according to their respective banners, and the camp stretches for twenty miles, even if our army rushes with all its strength, it is impossible to disperse all the coalition forces in a short time, so except for the imperial heavy cavalry, everyone under his command is all out." No longer divided into front and rear, with 500 as a wing to roll towards the coalition camp, first destroy the coalition rear barracks, drive its rout to run forward, if encountering elite resistance in the coalition army, each assault wing should not attack. Bypass from both sides, first disrupt and disperse the entire coalition brigade like a pack of wolves, and then the advancing heavy cavalry is responsible for cleaning up the opponent's elite!"
"It's not difficult to crush the coalition forces. The difficulty lies in the fact that the camp of the coalition forces is too large, and they are each guarded, and once they are unable to stir up the overall situation, or wait for the dawn, the other side discovers that our army's strength is real, and our army is likely to fall into a bitter battle! Therefore, the first task of this battle is to defeat the Rayla army, which is the largest main force of the coalition army! As long as the Rayla army is defeated. The coalition forces will no longer be able to resist, and we can slowly clean up the hundreds of miles of wilderness behind. Do you understand? At the last word, the fat man's arm slashed downward. As if a lightning bolt lit up in their eyes, the imperial generals couldn't help but feel a burst of lightning,
"Yes"
The generals nodded solemnly. Each returns to its own queue. The 30,000 assault cavalry, which was the backbone of the shock, had been assembled, and the rows of imperial cavalry in black armor who had been ordered to get up from the ground and turn over their horses,
In order to avoid being discovered in advance, the 5,000 men of the first assault department did not start to accelerate until they slowly reached the position of two miles of the coalition camp.
The horses rumbled and opened their hooves, and there was no need for a pointing mark in the dark night, and the red light of the coalition camp in front of them was the best direction indication. The forward cavalry rushed to the 100-meter line, only to see a bright red line shoot out from the direction of the camp. The red light illuminated the imperial cavalry galloping on horseback below, and the sentry on the "enemy ......" guard tower was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he sat on the ground, "Kill!" has reached this position, it doesn't matter if the storm is not exposed, the cavalry captain who led the team has a spear in his hand facing forward, and countless black cavalry will be in the red light that flashes in the sky, and it is dark again. Rarely, it was like a wall of walls! Closer, the sound of horses' hooves could finally be heard, roaring like thunder, and there was no way to tell the number, but it rumbled into a ball. I saw countless black cavalry rushing into the camp like rain and lute, the fence and tent were crumbling like paper, and the soldiers at the gate of the camp didn't even have a chance to react, they were swept under the horse's hooves by this torrent of steel.
A drunken officer of Silas staggered out of the tent and shouted angrily, "Rabbit, can't you stop a little" The Imperial cavalry flew past him, the bayonet spear penetrated his body like lightning, and the whole person was fiercely picked up by the high-speed sprint of the war horse, "This is ......" The soldier, who had come to his senses from the severe pain, looked at the metal gun shaft that had sunk into him with a look of disbelief, and was slammed into the tent behind him with a cavalry bayonet, raising a puff of bloody smoke and dust, "It's an enemy attack...... Is it an enemy attack!"
The general of the Silas army, Amiria, ran out wearing a piece of chain mail, and saw countless black cavalry in the dark night, like a storm ravaging his camp, pushing the soldiers to the ground piece by piece with a bayonet, overturning the tent with the hooves of the horse, and rolling the fire in the brazier to the ground with a blow of his hand, and the sparks scattered, igniting the scattered tent cloth nearby, and the fire reflected on these black cavalrymen who were like killing gods, and the soldiers were all in disarray, running in all directions, not to mention resisting, even throwing away the weapons in their hands, and more terrible shouts followed with the echo, the alarm bell on the watchtower sounded, the sentries desperately knocked on the warning, and all the people resting in the camp were alarmed, or from the tent, or from the ground, or simply jump from the field. All sorts of shouts mixed with deafening fighting resounded through the sky,
In the absence of effective resistance, the advance of the imperial cavalry was so fast that it was like a flowing cloud of killing, the horses rushed through the entire row of tents, kicking the beautiful night of the campfire to pieces, the cavalry's sharp bayonet spears effortlessly overthrew the enemy in front of them, watching the frightened head fly into the air, watching a striking column of bright red blood spurting out of the headless chest, every qiē was like hell,
The galloping war horse turned into a blood-colored phantom like a gale, and nearly a hundred queues of 30,000 assault cavalry quickly penetrated the rear line of the coalition army, and the camp of the Silas camp was followed by the camp of the Dobins, who were known for their stout bodies, and these Doberman shield soldiers with dozens of pigtails on their heads had just begun to assemble, and they found that the camp of the five thousand Silas troops had been pierced in an instant, and the black ironclad cavalry pushed forward in a small queue like a wave, and the Slavic troops cried and cried for their mothers, and they were swept up by the cavalry hooves that poured down, and turned into flesh and blood,
"Quick, array,"
The Doberman have always had a rough nerve, and are known for producing fierce warriors who are not afraid of death, and in the face of a battalion of such a large horse trampling company, a group of Doberman infantry scattered with five-meter spears. The strong man in front of him clenched the big shield in his hand, one holding the shield and the other holding the gun. The sharp tip of the spear was like waiting for the black torrent to collide with it, the sound of the spear inserting into the flesh sounded like a dense raindrop, and countless blood exploded at the front end of the spear, like a red tide that broke out at night, and a team of imperial assault cavalry rushed too quickly, and the whole team crashed into it, and was stabbed into the body before it could stop.
"Get around and leave them alone!"
The cavalry captain who led the team was at the forefront of the assault and did not want to waste time on this group of Dubins. With more than 300 cavalry behind them, they bypassed the Dubins gun array, and their task was to disrupt the coalition camp as much as possible, so that the coalition army could disperse itself, and completely crush the possibility of the coalition army trying to build a defensive line. The back end of the coalition camp is like a hornet's nest that has been poked. Everywhere there were scattered crowds, red bonfires shining on everyone's faces, full of overwhelmed hesitation, some small groups of cavalry of the coalition army that had rushed to the battle, were drowned under the wolves of the Imperial cavalry,
At this time, 30,000 imperial assault cavalry had all penetrated, and 500 people were a wing, which was enough for sixty teams. These sixty cavalry assault formations, like the dividing line of the tide, drove the scattered coalition forces to run wildly. Flashing in the billowing smoke, the horse's hooves resounded with thousands of thunders, like the end of the world. The coalition soldiers gasping for breath, listening to the seemingly never-ending sound of horses' hooves behind them, their tense nerves were about to collapse,
The night wind was cold, and the fat man stood on an adobe on the side of the coalition camp, coldly watching the cluster with the Imperial Heavy Cavalry and Guards Cavalry as the main combat force began to drive into the battlefield. The scattered resistance of the coalition forces was immediately shattered, and the torrent of steel composed of heavy cavalry with sharp blades was like a flood that flooded the levees, mercilessly rushing into the coalition forces, and the fierce sound of the battle shook the night sky.
The Imperial cavalry in front of them did not deliberately attack the elite of the other party, and moved forward violently, deeply embedded in the interior of the coalition camp, setting off a bloody storm, the bonfire whirring next to the galloping war horses, urging the billowing dust and smoke under the horses' hooves, and the wind that drifted was full of the smell of blood, which was overwhelming the coalition army one camp after another.
The rapid advance of the ten thousand armies is like countless sharp knives cutting the back of the coalition camp, under the hooves of the horses, the heads of the people are rolling, and once the tens of thousands of elite cavalry begin to attack, they are like thunder, and there will be no time to stop until the goal is achieved. The camps that stood in front of them were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
The coalition forces also had elite units that resisted stubbornly, blocking the fierce cavalry under the orders of officers from all sides, delaying the momentum of the cavalry onslaught. However, the number of defeated troops behind the coalition army that completely collapsed was tens of thousands, surging forward like a wave, and many troops who had just formed were overwhelmed by the oncoming waves of people who collapsed in this way, even if they were excellent generals, they suddenly lost control of their subordinates. big
The large group only knew how to flee behind the fierce gods of some coalition soldiers, and panicked into the trenches of those camps in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, these trenches were filled, and there were many more people behind them who stepped on the bodies of the ditches and slammed into the spikes outside the wooden camp before they knew to cry,
Under the inky sky, there was something white falling on the fat man's cheeks, and the fat man felt a faint coldness coming from his cheeks, like the white drifting snow crying in the sky, and was immediately melted by the killing intent on the fat man's face, and the fat man shook his horsewhip without care, and said coldly, "Sue the assault cavalry in front, before dawn, at least the camp of the Rayla people must be overwhelmed!"
The camp is located in the middle of the entire camp, so it is not slow to get the news. In the midst of the shock, the officers at all levels still gave orders in an orderly and loud manner, and led their men into position. The Ryla, who were mainly infantry, immediately relied on the terrain on the banks of the river, lined up in rows. After all, it is the elite unit of the coalition army, and when they saw the rout rolling behind them, there were already generals who shouted in their already hoarse voices to order the archers to open their bows and arrows, ready to meet the enemy, as for the so-called enemy, only the people of Rayla themselves knew,
The commander-in-chief of the coalition army, Marquis Fett, personally climbed the highest watchtower, swept his eyes over the entire battlefield, and saw that the camp behind him had completely collapsed, and there were countless routs, and he came towards the camp in the middle like crazy, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said, "Inform all armies, those who attack the camp, kill!"
The attendants behind him shouted the order to leave. This time, in addition to the two main battle aces of the Fifth Legion and the White Steel Legion, the Kingdom of Rayla also had two regular infantry legions at the domestic level. In terms of military strength, it remained two-thirds of its strength and then broke into the north of Kong-Africa with almost no fighting. Until the fortress of Edgar lost 10,000 people, and finally the number of people added up to more than 70,000 people, the Marquis of Fett arranged the 70,000 Rela army in three camps, each other as horns, and the momentum of the table was the most majestic.
Now that the sky is starting to get a little clearer, this is an open field with a flat river. The black armor of the Falcon Empire's cavalry lit up as the sky darkened. The scale of the attack was finally able to be roughly seen by the Ruila army, and after the tens of thousands of troops were defeated, there was a tight black tide surging like a tide. Not to mention that behind the Kuroshio, there were follow-up soldiers and horses marching in one after another, completely destroying some coalition camps that were still desperately resisting. The faces of all the Rayla people changed. If the rout army breaks up the perimeter of the camp, who will be able to withstand the black tide of the Falcon Imperial cavalry, "Open the bowstring, storm the camp, kill!"
Behind the wooden wall of the camp in front of them, a pedal of only one person's width was already densely packed with Rayla archers, infantry long war bows, and heavy bows. Infantry composite bow, cavalry light bow............ Armed with a variety of long-range weapons, the Rayla Army watched the tide of routs who had already stepped into the two-hundred-meter line. Raised neatly towards the sky above the head of the rout, and shot out in a row at the rout, countless clusters of arrows rose with cold light, and then slanted into the ground in clear layers. This is a warning to the rout. The officers who led the team at all levels held a cold sweat in their palms, and watched the rout gradually approach the cordon, which was tens of thousands of coalition colleagues, and now they were driven by the imperial cavalry behind like dogs, and they had long lost the most basic control power, "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows!" "Help us!" The front end of the rout army cried dad and shouted mother, looking at the cluster of arrows shot in front, the soldiers in front shouted desperately, but they were still carried forward by more people behind, the camp of the Rayla people was stationed on the best slope, and countless rout soldiers cried and climbed up with their hands and feet, such a scene made the shooters of the Rayla Army who raised their bows in the camp turn their faces one by one, and muttered in their hearts, don't come again, you can only let go if you come back! There are too many routs, and those in front want to turn around, and those behind want to move forward, although the ground is hard. Many people climbed up and slipped down, and then they were trampled under the feet of the people who rushed up behind them. For a while, there seemed to be a flesh and blood blanket on this slope, and finally, it was inevitable to run into the warning line that had been set.
"Shoot!"
Officer Rayla screamed loudly, and the entire cluster of arrows rained down from the direction of Ryla's camp, and the rout was pounced almost simultaneously. People roll into a ball. Tens of thousands of bows and arrows were fired, and almost swept away the several rows of defeated troops in front! But more people quickly filled the vacant positions in front. Still coming towards the camp,
"Bastard, keep shooting! Don't let them get close to the wooden wall of the camp!" Officer Ryla's face turned a little pale, and he frantically ordered to shoot at his subordinates, and the arrows poured frantically downward, hitting countless arrows, and at this moment, a dense cluster of arrows like locusts rose from the rear of the rout, and the rain of arrows, which was far more terrible than the Ryla army, covered the outer wall of the camp in an instant, and there was a miserable howl, and the archers of the Rayla Army were hit by arrows and fell from the two-meter-high plank
"It's the Ballista of the Falcon Empire!"
Officer Ryla was covered in blood, and he had been hit by an arrow in his arm and leg, and if it hadn't been for the shieldman next to him, he would have been a fallen corpse.
I saw that in the rear of the rout, the Imperial cavalry line that began to retract, the cavalry untied the infantry heavy crossbow from behind, and some of the cavalry dismounted, like infantry crossbowmen, flew in a row at the Rayla army camp, the range of the Rayla army archers was about 100 meters, and the Imperial infantry heavy crossbow was 150 meters, the second round of crossbow arrows was fired, and another piece fell in the Rayla army camp. The sound of people shouting and neighing horses can already be heard at this distance.
"Assault preparation!" The cavalry of the Imperial Brigade advanced like an iron wall, because the archers suffered heavy casualties, the camp of the Ruila army could not stop the impact of the tens of thousands of coalition troops in front, the wooden wall was crumbling, and finally in a rumbling sound, a wooden wall collapsed overwhelmingly,
The rout rushed in like crazy, not that no one wanted to turn around, but behind them, there was the sound of horses' hooves like thunder,
As far as the eye could see, there were large clouds of dirt rolled up by the iron hooves of war horses.
At this moment, the people of Rayla on the wooden wall were stunned and couldn't react, how could this be! The people of Rayla couldn't figure it out, they were still crushed by the rout.
"Rush in!" In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Brigade cavalry rushed through the gap in the wooden wall into the camp of the Rayla Army, and suddenly a burst of spears flew out of their horses. These cavalry lances were half as short as infantry pikes, and each Imperial Assault Cavalry carried three on their backs. Specially designed to deal with the enemy's hoplites, dozens of heavy armor-breaking muskets immediately killed and wounded the shooters of the Ryla Army who ran over the wooden wall, and even the defender of this camp, the newly appointed commander of the Fifth Army of the Ryla Army, Marquis Bokakov, was hit in the lower abdomen and pierced the people through. Holding the throwing spear with his mouth wide open, his head and feet rolled under the wooden wall, trampled and trampled by countless routs and horses' hooves. (To be continued......)
