Chapter 136 Getting out of trouble
Among the rebel troops on the other side, the general leading the army was General Conrad, the former commander of the Fifth Legion of the Empire. This was an experienced general. He was fifty-five years old, about the same as Hejar. He had been in the army for forty years. He had been active since he first went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen. He had been in charge all the way from the bottom to the commander of the army, and he had given extraordinary commands in both command and combat experience.
"Sir, the enemy's offensive is fierce. Our front line troops are frustrated and are retreating. Will the rear team be sent to support?" A deputy general next to him looked at the situation ahead and said.
"Don't worry, the enemy's morale is now strong, so we don't have to fight head-on with the other party. However, this momentum will not last long. When the enemy's sharpness fades, we will fight with the other party again." General Conrad said calmly.
Of course, General Conrad had expected that the opponent's troops would definitely rush out to the death at the beginning, but in fact this was impossible. A war of this scale could not be won by just being imposing. The main thing was to look at the formation. Therefore, although the opponent was very fierce at the beginning and seemed to be very fierce, as long as he consumed a little, when the opponent found that he could not attack, the momentum would disappear. Instead, let the troops behind him press up and directly attack the opponent.
The advantage lies with his own side. General Conrad understood this very well, so he was not in a hurry at all. If he continued, he would definitely win. However, for some reason, he always felt a little worried because he had heard about the other party's commander.
Yes, the commander refers to Ye Junwen. He had never heard of this man named Serina before. However, recently, this man seemed to have emerged from nowhere. In the previous confrontation between the two countries, the other party's plan perfectly defeated the forces of the two enemy legions. In his opinion, this is the command ability of the god of war. This person is not simple, and this was what he thought of when he saw the war report.
When facing Ye Junwen, Conrad was very alert. He always felt that the other party's command should not be so simple, and there should be some backup plan. However, Conrad couldn't think of what this backup plan was, so he could only look at the situation before talking about it.
While Conrad was still studying Ye Junwen's tactics, there were also changes on the battlefield. As the saying goes, again and again, and then again, declined, although Ye Junwen's troops rushed fiercely at the beginning and had a good effect, the opponent was not a vegetarian. Although they were beaten backwards, they still withstood the impact. Ye Junwen's troops sprinted several times in a row, and although they pressed the formation backwards, they still failed to break through. In this case, the soldiers' aura began to be slowly consumed. You must know that they were in a desperate situation. Seeing that they could not rush down, the atmosphere of despair began to spread.
The most intuitive feeling is that the impact of Ye Junwen's troops is declining, and the troops on the opposite side have also begun to slowly gain a foothold, and some of the fronts have actually begun to counterattack.
Seeing this situation, General Conrad was also preparing to command his troops behind and on both sides to encircle and suppress them. This is the difference in formation. Their army can develop a formation, and the troops on both sides and the troops behind can be arranged. Once the front is held back and the two sides are surrounded, it is very simple to destroy the opponent's troops. Ye Junwen and the others cannot do it, and their formation is really impossible.
"Captain of the Legion, will you launch a general attack?" The adjutant next to him looked at the situation and asked again.
"Well..." General Conrad thought for a moment. According to the general situation, he should have launched a general attack at this time, because the enemy's first wave of attacks had been blocked and the defeat had appeared. There was nothing to hesitate about, but General Conrad was still concerned about Ye Junwen's situation.
"Forget it, launch an attack." General Conrad thought for a while, and still responded to changes. It would be too unreasonable if the entire army attacked at this time.
"Woo..." The sound of horns on the battlefield sounded. The rebels' troops blew the horns of attacking the entire army. The troops who heard the order of attack also immediately began to act and surrounded and suppressed the troops on Ye Junwen's side.
"Legislative Commander, something is not good!" The generals on Ye Junwen's side were also anxious. This situation was obviously unfavorable to them. He Jiaer is now commanding the front line, so they can only find Ye Junwen.
"Well..." Ye Junwen nodded, "The opponent has launched a general attack, so let's start too."
"Ha?" Several generals were stunned. Now launching a general attack? It is better to retreat. Yes, although their current terrain is not conducive to unfolding the formation, the enemy should not dare to attack, otherwise their own formation will be chaotic. So the few people also concluded that the other party would only block them in front. In the current situation, it would be better to retreat temporarily and sort them out again.
However, Ye Junwen's order was to attack the entire army. As for the current situation, do you have a chance of winning by fighting head-on battle with the enemy? Depending on the situation, you must lose. This is really a fight. What's going on with the Legion Commander?
Although many officers questioned Ye Junwen's orders, He Jiaer was not there. He also said when he left before that the command of the entire army was temporarily handed over to Ye Junwen, which means that Ye Junwen is now also the commander of the First Legion. In this case, although these generals think it is wrong, they still have to obey the orders.
"The commander of the army ordered: launch a general attack and attack the entire army!"
"Start the general attack and attack the entire army!"
A horn sounded "Woo...", and Ye Junwen's troops also launched a general attack order, which made his troops and the troops on the opposite side stunned. At this time, the general attack was launched? The front line could no longer withstand it.
"General Attack?" General Conrad on the opposite side was stunned when he heard the sound of the other party's horn. This was really strange. Ordinary people would not choose General Attack when they saw this situation. He couldn't understand what this situation was.
However, just when everyone was confused, a force suddenly appeared behind the rebels and rushed towards the rebels at an extremely fast speed.
"General! A cavalry team appeared behind our army!" the adjutant said immediately.
"What?" General Conrad was a little stunned. Cavalry team? How is this possible? Although the First and Second Corps really had cavalry teams, their location was in a hilly area and the cavalry team was not easy to assault, so Conrad thought that the opponent's cavalry had just dismounted and fought in the field, so he didn't consider this at all. Of course, the strangest thing is why the opponent's cavalry team appeared behind them and when did they bypass it?
But now there is no time to think about what is going on. The general attack order was just sounded. At this time, all the troops were moving forward, and a unit appeared behind them, and the formation could not be transferred at all. Now it seems that this must be the time for the opponent to calculate. Just when he launched the general attack on his side, they also launched the general attack, in fact, just to notify the cavalry unit to attack at this time and catch them off guard.
What's more important is that this rekindled the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the First and Second Legion, who were already a little desperate. Their morale had just been used up and they were just thinking that they were about to finish this time, suddenly a cavalry team appeared behind the enemy. At this moment, they saw the hope of victory and their morale rose again. Sure enough, at this moment, the front line troops began to exert force again.
"Kill! Kill out!" At this time, Hejar was right in front of him. Seeing this opportunity, he immediately shouted.
"Kill!" The soldiers shouted in unison and continued to push forward with Hejar. The situation of the rebels on the opposite side was just the opposite. They thought they were going to win, but at the critical moment, there was an enemy cavalry team behind them. Now they were in chaos. What should I do now? Holding the front or behind? The moment the chaos caused the morale of the two armies to change. As one went up and down, the front line was destroyed by the troops of the First and Second Legion.
"Captain of the Legion, something is not good!" Seeing this, the adjutant immediately shouted to General Conrad, "Please make a decision quickly."
"Immediately notify the cavalry team to provide support and intercept the opponent's assault troops!" General Conrad thought for a while and immediately said, "The front line of troops resisted the opponent's infantry team."
General Conrad's command was pretty good. They also had cavalry teams, although there were not many. Yes, the place where their Fifth Legion itself fought was hilly. The cavalry teams were of no use in this place, but there were still some, which were just right for them to intercept the enemy's cavalry team.
However, the idea is good, but unfortunately it is the time. At this time, their cavalry team was too late to go up. The purpose of Ye Junwen's cavalry team was to disrupt the local formation. By the time they intercepted, the infantry team's formation had already become chaotic.
As long as the opponent's formation can be disrupted, the soldiers on both sides will not have formations. In this case, the morale of the soldiers on Ye Junwen's side is higher. In this way, the winning situation between the two sides is of course conceivable.
Sure enough, the battle continued for a while and the situation changed again. The rebel troops began to retreat in full swing, while the troops of the First and Second Corps had already rushed out of the hilly areas. It was obvious that the interception plan had failed.
