2014 Breaking the Army (4)
Seeing that the camp of the Fifth Army was broken by the Imperial cavalry, the Ruila Army had already been red-eyed, and now tens of thousands of people were pulled out in one go, full of mourning soldiers, and the number was more than double that of the Imperial cavalry on the opposite side. The heavily armed troops with spiked infantry shields in their hands looked straight ahead with their eyes blazing, not to mention the possibility of timidity, the blood of the Rayla army had already been stimulated, and the array of tens of thousands of people exuded a bloodthirsty hideous aura,
At this moment, the Marquis of Fett hoped that the Falcon Army cavalry could be carried away by the victory in front, complacent, and directly follow his infantry group, in order to defeat the whole battalion of the coalition army, hundreds of black flags of the Rilla Army were unfurled, and each flag was full of Rella's sword and leaf shield emblems, and under each flag, it was the fearless momentum of the Rilla soldiers.
Although the Rayla Army lost the Fifth Army, there are still more than 60,000 infantry, more than 5,000 cavalry, this time 40,000 people were pulled out in one breath, the elite of the elite, the heavy White Steel Army is all dispatched, naturally it should not be allowed to become the front spear of the counterattack army, the White Steel Armor Column, has always fought to the last person, and will never retreat from the title of the Steel Army, but this title in the border battle, was shattered by the Falcon Imperial Army, and the full 50,000 White Steel Army collapsed in the Falcon Army's blocking battle, this naked humiliation has already become a shame engraved in the hearts of the entire White Steel Army, and now the order to attack is obtained, raised the weapon in his hand and shouted in unison, "White Steel Armor Column." There is no advance or retreat!" sonic boom in the four fields,
"Forward!" shouted the white steel hoplites with pointed helmets as they marched in order. Other infantry clusters on either side followed, armor blades colliding together. Like an unstoppable torrent of dense formations, the soldiers of the Rayla Army have long put aside the idea of the inferiority of infantry against cavalry,
What everyone thought in their minds was, no matter how fierce the cavalry on the opposite side was, could they still use their horses to disperse the dense cloud stabbing spears in front of the reloaded array?
The other party is just an assault cavalry, and under the surprise attack, it is okay to drive the stragglers to rush the camp, and they want to cover the battle head-on and kill the generals. Defeat this formation, unless the other party is pressed regardless of casualties, and uses the sacrifices of countless cavalry to open up a flesh and blood corridor that goes directly to this formation, if it was possible just now, but now, this is absolutely impossible!
The infantry formation may be disadvantageous in the face of the cavalry's mobility, but if it is a battle in formation, the morale of the army will be high, and it will inevitably be like an iron shield. The spears are like a forest, and now the anger of the whole army of Rayla has exploded, and at this time, even in the face of heavy cavalry, they dare to fight to the death, not to mention these assault cavalry who mainly use bayonet guns as their main weapon.
The double-layered armor of the white steel hoplites was originally a barrel-shaped heavy armor designed to restrain the bayonet, and all key connections were covered with armor plates, covering the whole heavy armor. The inside is pierced with dense and fine-lock buckle armor, and the top of the bayonet gun is pierced with a layer. It will be stuck by the lock ring armor, and at most it will be pierced half a foot sharply.
This kind of injury, if it is not a fatal part such as a hit to the head, heart, liver and spleen, the hoplite will not die, it will be the turn of the opponent's assault cavalry to die, the infantry has no trick to killing the cavalry, it is nothing more than slowing down the opponent's horse speed and impact, relying on manpower to pile the opponent to death, as long as the cavalry horsepower has a short stop, or is entangled by the infantry below, the infantry group that rushes up around will instantly chop the horse cavalry into minced meat. Poked into a blood gourd,
Salon, who got the order to lure the enemy, naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to shake the Rayla army formation, "Damn, the other party is playing with his life!" Salon turned his horse's head, and glanced at the corner of his mouth, the results of this assault were huge, breaking down half of the coalition camp, killing and wounding nearly 50,000 enemies, the rout was incalculable, and the burning and capturing of the coalition army's baggage equipment was piled up, but there was no time to count,
For Saron, such a great victory, the joy was only a brief moment in his heart. In the face of completely defeating the main force of more than 100,000 coalition troops, this is only half of it, almost all the cavalry under his command have scars, and fatigue is written on everyone's face, even if they can still penetrate the Ruila army formation in front of them, they have no energy to continue to move forward, and they are barely in the whole team, and each army's banner is hunting and flying. However, no matter how horses get off the horse, many cavalry have already staggered, and there are not a few who are panting for breath, this is still the foundation composed of veterans, and some of the cavalry recruited in the southwest region are even more unbearable, and they are so tired that they lie on horseback
For these cavalry in the southwest region who have just entered the battlefield, the momentum was high at first, but it was soon discovered that fighting and cutting people is also a tiring thing, and if the strength is small, the armor cannot be broken, and if the strength is large, the weapon may be stuck in the target bone, and the dead strength of the flower without gritting teeth cannot be pulled out
The snow fell on Salon's shoulders, and in a few moments his shoulders were covered with snowflakes. The cold wind was blowing in his face, and even the top of Salon's beard was covered with ice edges. The Imperial Assault Cavalry was more than a hundred meters away from the front of the Rayla Army, and began to shoot with crossbows while retreating, and the arrows hit the frontal shield wall of the White Steel Legion, and were bounced off in pieces, "Forward, rush forward!"
The Ryla quickened their advance, and the Whitesteel Heavy Infantry struggled through the snow with all the strength to feed. Holding a shield to protect his head and face, the others can't care so much, "Archer!" The bow and arrow team of the Rayla people also drove up, and the battle came here, the Rayla army was already like a rainbow, and the cavalry of the Falcon Imperial Army was suppressed and retreated, and suddenly a war horse screamed and fell to the ground. The Imperial cavalry on horseback fell from above, and the war horse fell and fell out immediately. He was covered in snow and was desperately trying to pull his mount up. The war horse was sweating profusely, snorting weakly, and couldn't stand up with weak legs. The cavalryman gritted his teeth and stabbed him down, and when he heard the wailing of his horse, he lay down in the snow and did not move. The cavalryman gritted his teeth and drew his sword and ran backwards
"Long live, victory!"
The cheers of the Rayla army were a tsunami and a landslide, and in the eyes of the Rayla people, this was a signal of the collapse of the imperial cavalry, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this war horse was completely exhausted. Are the cavalry on the opposite side already so tired? Marquis Fitt had an unconcealable joy on his face, if it was still because of the courage that had been aroused by the blood just now. Now it is time to see the heroic glory of the ancestors who saved the fate of Central Europe Barrow, and it is steadily descending on his head.
"Bastard recruits!" the veterans of the Imperial cavalry saw the scene. There was a roar of scolding. But it was time to turn around, and the infantry ranks of the Rayla had pressed up,
Long looked at it with a cold expression, and the faces of several generals gathered behind him were all pale, although they were ordered to lure the enemy, but everyone hoped to be able to evacuate with dignity, and now they were stirred up by this recruit, everyone felt that their faces were gloomy, and Ssalon looked up at the sky. Watching the snowflakes fall from the blue-gray sky, he didn't pay attention to the scene just now, and said in a condensed voice, "Let's withdraw too!" Everyone has attacked here with all their might, and this retreat will inevitably be difficult to maintain, but it is also true that the cavalry is exhausted, and the twenty-mile battalion of the coalition army is really too long, and the front came out of Edgar West and ran fifty miles in one breath. In addition, the 30,000 assault cavalry were divided into 500-man units, and everyone was divided and interspersed, driving the rout army to rush the camp, and it was necessary to attack back and forth non-stop. Such a continuous fierce battle of three or four hours is already the limit of people and horses, although I don't want to admit it in my heart, our army is indeed unable to continue to move forward."
"Your Excellency. The Falcon Empire is going to run!"
In the midst of the Rayla army, a general shouted in the ear of the Marquis of Fit.
Marquis Fett didn't say anything, no one expected the Falcon Army cavalry to be so unbearable. But also, the scene just now exposed the exhaustion of the Falcon Army, the prostration of the war horses was weak, and the cavalry had to personally kill their beloved horses, which is not something that can be acted at, under the advance of the strict army of Rayla's array, the horses were so frightened that they ran to death, what else will not happen?
"My lord, give the order for an all-out counterattack!" The generals couldn't hold on, and they all gathered around the Marquis of Fett, and one of the generals took a breath and said, "My lord, the main force of the Falcon Imperial Army has collapsed, and with such a fighter in front, even if you gamble on your life... If the Imperial cavalry is allowed to evacuate safely and kill again next time, it is difficult to say whether our army will have such a chance............"
Marquis Fit's face was tense and silent, these Falcon Army cavalry in front of him was not good, but who dared to guarantee that there were no more troops behind these cavalry, and now they were in array to fight, plus the morale was full, they could also fight to the death with the opposing cavalry cluster, and even stand to the slightest advantage, once the pursuit was ordered, the arrays of the various armies would disperse, and once the Falcon Army attacked again, what should I do?
"Your Excellency can't hesitate any longer, the other party is cavalry, our side is infantry, if you can't make a decision on the spot, wait until the other party gathers again, it's all over, if your lord doesn't dare, your subordinates are willing to lead your headquarters to pursue! Life and death are fate, and you will never drag down your lord!" A general couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a righteous and resolute look
"If Lord Fett has any concerns, he can take the method of advancing in each army, even if there is really any change, the army will have time to deal with it!" Even if he offends the god of war of the Rayla Army, he will have to fight, once he can't figure out the reality of the Falcon Army, the hearts of the Rayla generals begin to live,
At the beginning, it was a desperate struggle under anger, but now what I think in my heart is that the majestic posture of the ancestors who turned the tide a hundred years ago can not be shown today.
The Falcon Army has lost its spirit, giving up the plan to continue to assemble, but even the battle flag in the army turned and ran, absolutely no courage to fight with himself again, this is really an escape, no matter what happens later, this battle, the Ruila army is ironclad to save the overall situation, now it only depends on what Cheng Dù can be saved, blocking? or counterattack? Or even go east out of the Edgar Barrier, end the battle in the north of Gangfei, and let the Falcon Empire no longer have the power to invade Central Europe and Barrow, how big is this situation, how strong the temptation is, as long as the generals on the battlefield can smell the flavor inside,
"Really, are you just looking at it?"
"Who says it's not, if the Falcon Army is really allowed to escape, what kind of heroic descendants are we Rayla!" Seeing that Marquis Fett was tough, the generals expressed their dissatisfaction, and Marquis Fett's temples were erect. Hearing this, his face turned red and blue for a while, but it changed sharply a few times in a few minutes, and people who didn't know thought that he had the special function of a chameleon, as a battlefield veteran. Marquis Fett is still very good, otherwise he would not have been appointed commander of the White Steel Legion. It was precisely because of his experience in the Battle of Baruta that he was full of suspicion about the Falcon Empire's every move.
In the battle of the Baluta Fortress, the strength of the coalition army was magnificent, the army was mighty, and the battle flags flew like clouds and snow with no end in sight, and as a result, Leng was adopted by the Falcon Imperial Army to introduce the tactics of counterattacking first, and dealt a heavy blow to the main force of the coalition army in one fell swoop! Countless baggage of the coalition army was burned, and tens of thousands of wounded soldiers were buried in the fire, and the commander of the Falcon Army was definitely a master in bullying the enemy. Fighting against such an opponent, you may step into the trap at any time and don't know it, but the chance of victory is ahead, even he thinks that it is too unreasonable to sit idly by, the Falcon Army has collapsed like this, how can there be no reinforcements, right?
The most terrible thing on the battlefield is luck, even the most rigorous famous generals once they fall into the cycle of luck. It's basically like not seeing the danger,
Some people fight to the death, and there are famous generals who are honored, and there are also famous generals who are lucky. Falling into a trap and annihilating the army, the fat man let Salon's 30,000 assault cavalry evacuate. One is to bring in the Rayla army from the fortified camp, and the other is to make the commander of the Rayla people feel lucky.
Under the scorching gaze of the generals, Marquis Fett finally raised his hand
"The whole army marched in echelons. Sweep away the remnants of the Falcon!"
"Yes!" the generals were elated, shouted their orders, agreed in unison, and rode their horses to their own ranks,
"Woo!" On the slope sprinkled with snowflakes, the Rayla trombonist straightened his waist, raised the metallic white light trombone in his hand mightily, and pulled out the sound of the long drum and horn with all his might, the Rayla army began to move, the army was covered with snow, the white steel of the battle armor flashed, like a river of light turning, the light infantry crossed the heavy infantry as the front of the echelon, the light cavalry was like a horizontal diagonal line, with the high morale of the whole army, rolling towards the rear end of the camp with countless black smoke, and now the Rayla army up and down, has decided that the Falcon Army is exhausted, and even the assembly is difficult, all the Falcon Army cavalry along the way, seeing the Rayla Army approaching, are as if they have no courage to turn their heads and run, desperately whipping the war horse, wolf bèi makes people laugh
In the main formation of the Falcon Army, the Imperial Guards cavalry gathered behind the slope hundreds of meters away from the coalition camp, and after giving the order to Salon to lure the enemy, the fat man led the army to withdraw from the direction of the camp, and the whole army stood up, covered with heavy armor, and the snowflakes fell on the iron armor, and it condensed in a short time, so that the iron armor and the sharp spear in the hands of the knight seemed to be doubly cold, and the cavalry was still mobilizing from the front, and the news from the front kept coming back, the Guards cavalry plus the Imperial heavy cavalry, numbering 18,000 people, stretched out like black clouds in this heavy snow, until the end of the sight, the war horse spewed white gas in the cold air, and uneasily threw the ground frozen ground with the horse's hooves,
Salon finally appeared at the top of the slope panting and running here in one breath, even he couldn't stand it, not to mention the others, his eyes looked around, and he immediately took a few subordinates to look at the fat man in the distance with a lookout goggle, wearing a red general's cloak, stepping on the snow-white earth under his feet, the fat man's heavy figure was like a cold wind mountain range, which made people feel like looking up from the heart, Salon stopped behind the fat man, stood firm and saluted, and said in a condensed voice" The whole army of Rayla is less than five miles away from this place, and his subordinates have already left the standard-bearers to lure the enemy, and ordered all the armies to assemble here! I believe that in less than an hour, the army of Rayla will arrive!"
"Hard work!" The fat man put down the lookout glasses, turned around and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes wandered, and said, "The first merit of this battle is none other than your New Southwest Army, it stands to reason that you have run for dozens of miles, and immediately plunged into several hours of fierce fighting, you are already tired of people and horses, and now you have completed the heavy responsibility of luring the enemy, you should be allowed to go down to rest, but now you still need to do it, that is, to line up here to wait for the arrival of the Rela army, and make a bait for our army to strike the final blow! I don't know if you dare?"
"There is His Majesty, what is there to dare!" The corners of Salon's mouth grinned, revealing a mouthful of white forest teeth, as the henchman of the sovereign, it was a matter of duty to work hard for the emperor's majesty, and Ssalon also believed that the Rayla army chased after his ass and ate ashes for several miles, he was four-legged, and the other party only had two legs, and it was quite rare to be able to run here in full numbers, without resting, it was absolutely impossible to muster the courage of the infantry to take the initiative to attack the cavalry, and maybe he could let his subordinates take advantage of the impact of the cavalry of the Majesty Xià Guards, and pick up some unexpected credit! After receiving the order, Salons immediately returned to prepare, and the flag of the assembled regiment was erected on the top of the slope, and the wind spread hunting, and the cavalry of the southwest region scattered around them approached one after another, and this gathering cavalry cluster soon attracted the attention of the people of Rayla,
"My lord, the enemy has erected a rallying flag on the outskirts of the camp and is gathering scattered horses on the slopes!" Rayla ordered the cavalry to gallop to the Marquis of Fit
"Order the army to speed up, the Falcon Army's spirit has been lost! This battle has been decided! Tell the generals, we will be like the heroes of our ancestors, and we will turn the tide!" The corners of Marquis Fett's excited mouth were crooked, and the previous worries had been completely swept away,
The fact that the remnants of the Falcon cavalry only dared to assemble sneakily outside the camp has proved that the other party has completely broken their courage, and they don't even have the courage to assemble in the camp to fight to the death, what else is there to worry about such an enemy! (To be continued......
