As soon as Maang Lado returned to the main formation, the Hetao army began to retreat, and indeed they retreated at least half a mile as promised.
"Haha, these Chinese people are really idiots, they actually fell into the trap. However, they never expected that we would have such a trick." Alexander laughed loudly.
Dominia frowned in displeasure: "General, please restrain your laughter. If it disturbs the Chinese army on the opposite side, we will lose more than we gain."
Alexander's voice stopped suddenly, like a duck that had its neck pinched, and his expression was indescribably weird. Alexander was quite in awe of the minister of state who had a deep background in the empire. He quickly mobilized his troops and sent 20,000 generals to the throne.
The most elite heavy cavalry were moved to the front.
During this expedition to Obsburg, Suganev specially brought 50,000 of Obsburg's most elite heavy cavalry. All countries in the Western Continent re-established the Western Holy Religion and worshiped the spirit of chivalry admired by the Western Holy Religion. Therefore, knights
It is a very respected profession in the Western Continent. The 50,000 heavy cavalry of the Obsburg Empire are all composed of what they call knights. Needless to say, their combat effectiveness is so fierce. Although in order to prevent the Hetao from being alert,
He only mobilized 20,000 heavy cavalry, but Alexander believed that 20,000 heavy cavalry was enough to crush the defense line of the unsuspecting Hetao army. The 30,000 cavalry behind him followed closely, and they could completely defeat the Hetao army without even lighting torches.
Flatten.
The 20,000 heavy cavalry began to accelerate slowly. When the heavy cavalry stopped, its combat effectiveness was not as good as that of an ordinary infantryman, but once it accelerated, it was bound to be unstoppable. Tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched together, and the torrent of galloping iron armor could easily crush them.
All the troops in front.
"Go and prove your bravery with your victory. The enemy is right in front. Their pockets are full of gold. They have no defense at all. God will bless you." Alexander shouted proudly.
The afterglow of the sun had completely disappeared, and no torches were lit by the Hetao army. The soldiers at the front seemed to be idly watching the Obsburg heavy cavalry who came to perform. Although they could not see their expressions clearly, Alexander could imagine that,
The other party should be unsuspecting.
Alexander and Dominia suddenly laughed, as they seemed to have heard the wail of the Hetao army.
Dugu and Xuesha also laughed. It was not unreasonable for Dugu to retreat half a mile. Two trenches with a width of two feet and a depth of half a foot have been completed. The military quality of the Hetao army cannot be improved. On this basis
In addition to the physical training, I believe that no army can compare with the soldiers trained by Bian Zhongxing. The two trenches are about a hundred feet apart, but in the middle, there are deep, shallow and irregular horse traps. Blood.
Sha Nai was a famous cavalry general, so he naturally knew how to dig horse pits to injure the horses to the greatest extent.
The two trenches in the Loop are not linear, but an ellipse. When retreating, the Loop army was happily pouring tung oil and butter in the trenches and spreading some hay randomly.
It was less than half a mile away from the defense line of the Hetao army, but the Obsburg cavalry did not slow down at all. All the cavalry raised their spears horizontally. This was the most obvious attack formation. A sinister smile appeared on Tu Muling's face, these idiots
The soldiers were fooled so easily. I really don’t know how they fought all the way here.
Tu Muling could vaguely see the soldiers in the Hetao setting up their formation in a panic. The heavy cavalry was only half a mile away and could rush in front of them in less than a minute. Thinking that her spear was about to drink the blood of the soldiers in the Hetao, Tu Muling suddenly became excited.
stand up.
"Kill! Ah!"
The first roar was quite high-pitched, but the next one was extremely miserable. With his scream, countless heavy cavalry were thrown from their horses. It was already dark, and the Obsburg cavalry did not notice the sudden appearance on the ground.
In the trench, countless war horses fell into the trench as soon as their legs weakened. Under the strong inertia, most of the cavalry on horseback were thrown forward, while a small number of soldiers fell into the trench.
"Haha, this trench will eliminate at least five thousand heavy cavalry!" Dugu said cheerfully, patting Chu Lianfeng on the shoulder: "General Chu, you did a good job, the Eastern Army is still very good, haha."
Chu Lianfeng smiled modestly. It was not easy to be praised by Dugu. But it was really not easy to dig such two trenches in such a short time. At least many soldiers of the Eastern Legion fell to the ground from exhaustion.
Don't want to get up.
Xue Sha suddenly slapped his head: "Oh!"
"What's wrong?" Dugu asked curiously.
"If the trenches are filled with the corpses of those cavalrymen, will the tung oil we poured down below be able to ignite them?" Xue Sha said with a sad face.
Dugu was also a little distracted: "Damn, what a mistake. Forget it, just pay the tuition. At least the ditch in front of us is still there."
"Pikemen, axe-throwers, all come to the front! Damn, your archers are joining in the fun. If bows and arrows could penetrate the opponent's armor, then Orbsburg would have been destroyed by Rouran many times!
"Dugu shouted angrily.
Xue Sha said to Dugu: "Shuai Du, I have to go make some preparations. It's up to you here."
Dugu said cautiously: "Don't worry, Commander Blood. As long as I, Dugu Yuming, am still breathing, this line of defense will remain intact. Do you need to bring your infantry with you?"
"It's better to let them help you defend. It's dark today and it's not easy for infantry to attack." Xue Sha shook his head and said.
Dugu was not polite. He had never fought against the army of the Western Continent. Before the victory was determined, he was not sure. After all, facing Suganev, who was known as the Army God of the Western Continent, even Dugu did not dare to
Too arrogant.
After passing through a trench, the 20,000 charging armored heavy cavalry lost at least 5,000 cavalry. However, Alexander discovered that Hetao had been prepared, and had ordered the 30,000 heavy cavalry behind him to charge together, and nearly 50,000 heavy cavalry to charge together.
Two hundred thousand horses' hooves hit the ground at the same time, and their power was so astonishing. Even Dugu felt the constant vibration under his feet.
"Song Zhong, bring a flying ax!" Dugu shouted flatly.
At this time, the cavalry of Obsburg were still out of the shooting range of javelins and double-sided throwing axes, but Marshal Dugu didn't care about this and took a three-pound double-sided throwing ax from Song Zhong's hand with his wrist casually.
After a few moves, he raised all his strength, let out a loud roar, and struck out with the flying ax in rapid rotation.
"middle!"
Fifty feet away, a heavy cavalryman's head suddenly tilted, and the flying ax passed by his neck, actually cutting off half of his neck. The ax had not lost its power and was still spinning at an extremely fast speed.
Fly towards another soldier.
"One, two, three, four, five...Hey, I can't see the back, but the formation is a bit chaotic, and at least two unlucky ones were knocked away!" Zhou Jilong yelled.
"There must be more than two. Didn't you see how big the chaos was?" Long Zhishan shook his head.
Dugu twisted his neck and said with satisfaction: "That's right, there are no loose hands yet. It's just that the highest record 20 years ago was seven people, and it's still seven people now."
Song Zhong quickly said: "Commander, how can we compare? Back then, it was the light cavalry of the nomads that flew away, but now it is the heavy cavalry of Obsburg. This is not a concept at all."
"Haha, you're right. I like your confession!" Dugu said with a laugh.
Chu Lianfeng was completely speechless. Dugu was a gangster and a scumbag that could not be described in words! Of course, what surprised Chu Lianfeng even more was Dugu's strength. Even if he tried his best, he could only knock away two heavy ones at most.
As a cavalryman, even if the difference in strength calculation is taken into account, Dugu is more than one step ahead of him. This old gangster is worthy of being one of the most terrifying figures in the world today.
He is powerful, talented, unique in vision, and scheming. Most importantly, he possesses the essential qualities of a hero: be decisive when it matters, and do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Chu Lianfeng thought in his heart, but he was thinking of someone who is deep and scheming.
Chu Lianfeng was a little confused again by the bloody killing, the polite respect, the thick letter on the outside but thin on the inside, and the immovable side of the mountain. It seemed that these people were like this.
Of course, Hetao was facing a brand new opponent, so why wasn't it the same in Obsburg? When the heavy cavalry entered the attack range of the spearmen and ax throwers in Hetao, the heavy cavalry had not recovered yet, and the javelins and throwers of Hetao were
The axes were thrown at them like a violent storm.
Compared with the armored heavy cavalry of the three Northeastern countries, the offensive power of the Obsburg cavalry is more powerful, but the defensive power is not much different. The White Tiger Army is originally the first-class infantry combat army in China, and it has its own unique skills in fighting cavalry.
At that time, 30,000 infantrymen were able to block the attack of 50,000 Mandan heavy cavalry, let alone now?
The sharp sound of breaking through the air kept ringing, and countless Augsburg cavalry fell silently from their horses. The top general of the heavy cavalry, Soforan, secretly complained that even when fighting Rouran, they had never experienced such hardship. Still.
Without approaching the opponent's defense line, our side lost at least 10,000 cavalry. Including the 5,000 cavalry lost at the first trench at the beginning, one-third of the 50,000 heavy cavalry had been lost.
Moreover, the despicable cunning of the Hetao army was beyond his expectation. It was true that the Hetao retreated for half a mile, but in this short half mile, there were dense horse traps of different depths and irregularities. Once the war horses
Stepping on these horse pits, the hoofs were suddenly broken, and the cavalry on horseback was thrown directly, and then was trampled into pulp by the cavalry behind them.
However, he was still a little lucky in his heart. Now, he finally reached the front of the Hetao front. Based on past experience, no one could stop the thundering offensive of the heavy cavalry, and Hetao was no exception.
In the slightly dim night, Sofolan suddenly noticed that the formation of the Hetao soldiers in front changed slightly, and the situation immediately changed. Countless soldiers held giant shields to block the front, and from the gaps in the giant shields, protruding
Countless spears shining with cold light.
The cavalry charging at high speed collided with the spear, instantly killing people. The cavalry hit the opponent's shield, and the opponent just took a step back and firmly blocked the charge of the cavalry. Two long sticks silently stretched out from behind the shield.
Spear, easily kill the cavalry on horseback.
Hetao's tricks didn't stop there. They fought and retreated. They were not forced back by the Obsburg heavy cavalry, but took the initiative to retreat. When retreating, they did not forget to leave countless horse traps and traps on the ground.
Juma stakes and other strange things. After retreating a few dozen feet, the Hetao infantry suddenly stopped. In front of their line, countless strange-shaped vehicles appeared. The vehicles had sharp knives tied to their bodies, and there were iron ropes between the two vehicles.
Standing next to each other were two men wearing heavy armor, holding a thick-backed sword at least one foot long in their hands. Every time they swung it, at least one of the heavy cavalrymen was easily split in half by the opponent.
"My God, these Chinese people are really endless!" Sophoran cried out in pain. In just a cup of tea, countless heavy cavalry fell on this land forever.
In front of it is a strange vehicle covered with knives. On top of its head are rocks the size of watermelons falling from time to time. Below there are dense horse traps of varying depths. The javelins and double-sided throwing axes from the Loop have never stopped.
At this time, Soforan finally understood why such powerful Rouran and Sashan collapsed under the attack of the Chinese army. They encountered such an opponent who was full of clever tricks and did not play according to common sense. I am afraid it was Marshal Suganev.
, it will also cause quite a headache.
Alexander and Dominia also discovered the strangeness of the heavy cavalry. The charge of 50,000 heavy cavalry did not crush the opponent's defense line, but actually reached a stalemate. This was completely incomprehensible to them. However,
They understood to some extent that once the heavy cavalry reached a stalemate during the attack and was forced to stop, the consequences would be disastrous.
Without any time to think, Dominia immediately ordered the infantry to follow up, preparing to cooperate with the heavy cavalry to kill the opponent.
"Damn it, we don't have much time, kill their heavy cavalry first!" Dugu said fiercely. In the battle just now, Hetao suffered very little losses. Obsburg was too superstitious about the attack power of their heavy cavalry, but they didn't know it.
The victories in the Hetao over the years have been achieved step by step on the corpses of countless heavy cavalry. Although the heavy cavalry of Obsburg is powerful, it is extremely limited compared to the Mandan heavy cavalry. What is the battlefield experience of the Hetao army?
Rich and Dugu Yuming are the leading infantry combat masters in Hetao, so naturally they will not let the other side take advantage.
Xue Sha said with a straight face, "Don't worry, Commander Du, I will make them understand what misery is."
Dugu gave an order, and countless rocketeers began to bend their bows and shoot arrows. The rockets landed in the trench filled with kerosene and other flammable materials, and a raging fire suddenly ignited, just in time to kill the heavy cavalry of Obsburg and them behind.
The infantrymen who were following at full speed were separated.
"What's going on?" Sofulan was shocked, and the heavy cavalry under his command also changed their expressions. They felt that the back road had been cut off, and the front could not break through, and they all panicked. At this moment, the Hetao army suddenly
Suddenly there was a loud shout, and a cavalry group, led by the opponent's general, made a circle and charged in from the rear of the heavy cavalry. Wherever the opponent's cavalry went, Obsburg's heavy cavalry fell one after another.
Although the heavy cavalry's attack power is powerful, its mobility is seriously insufficient. Especially under such circumstances, it is not easy to change formations. The opponent's cavalry came out from behind. Countless heavy cavalry had not recovered yet, but they had already shouted
He fell silently.
It would be an idiot not to take advantage of it, and Uncle Dugu is naturally not such a fool. With a wave of his hand, the 70,000 infantrymen of the Eastern Army and the Blood Killing Army, who had been recharging their strength, suddenly rushed out from the two wings and charged into Obsburg like sharp knives.
Among the heavy cavalry camp, Dugu was also cunning enough. He directly ordered the soldiers to lean over and chop off the horse's legs. The heavy cavalry in Obsburg was so powerful that their armor could not completely cover the horses. The Hetao infantry only needed light weapons.
With a single stroke of the knife, a horse's leg was removed.
During the melee, Dugu unexpectedly discovered that the soldiers of the Eastern Legion were extremely suitable for this task. Their movements were quite flexible. Compared with the Blood Killing Legion, where many soldiers were kicked and injured by the opponent's horses, they had almost no casualties.
"Although people from the martial arts world are not very useful on a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, they are still very useful in certain situations. Well, it is necessary to give my lord a suggestion. Some martial arts people should be recruited into the army.
At least in such a melee, they can play a better role." Dugu thought while holding his chin.
The Obsburg infantry was separated by the fire on the other side of the battlefield, and only about half of the heavy cavalry was now facing a crazy attack by more than 200,000 troops. Alexander was so angry that he was fuming. No one expected that
Hetao was so despicable that he actually used a wall of fire to cut off the connection between the infantry and cavalry. He watched as his most elite heavy cavalry was wiped out without any suspense by the opponent's infantry and cavalry, while the infantry could only survive under the fire wall.
On the other side, Alexander fought hard to put out the fire and cheered from a distance. Alexander's face was as green as granite.
"Despicable!" Maang Lado squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "The Chinese army is really despicable!"
"Shut up! If we hadn't launched a surprise attack, would the other side's preparations have been useful? Idiot!" Alexander couldn't hold himself back and spat at Maang Lado: "Which idiot came up with this trick?"
Dominia's face turned red and white. He had come up with this proposal. Although he knew that Alexander was unintentionally saying this, Dominia's face still turned hot and he said quickly: "General, now is not the time to talk about this.
, hurry up and order the army to attack, otherwise our heavy cavalry will be really doomed!"
"The heavy cavalry is already finished!" Alexander's face was livid. The opponent's army of more than 200,000 people swarmed forward. The heavy cavalry was completely blocked by the opponent and could not move at all. It could only become a living target for the opponent. It was enough to be able to sustain it for such a long time.
lucky.
"Attack! We must attack now! We must defeat the Chinese army in front of us. If we cannot join Klebtz's army under the city of Thebes, we will not be able to severely damage the opponent. What the Chinese army did in Sashan is what you also
You see, the empire will definitely withstand the opponent’s crazy counterattack when the time comes!” Dominia said without any doubt.
Alexander gasped for breath. He had lost his most elite 50,000 heavy cavalry. With only 50,000 light cavalry and 150,000 infantry in his hands, it was not easy to break through the opponent's defense line. He had already seen the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army just now.
However, even if the opponent cannot be defeated, then at least the opponent must be dragged to death here. He believes that Klebtz's unexpected army of 350,000 will give the Chinese army a taste of the power of the Obsburg Empire.
"The infantry continues to put out the fire! The cavalry goes around the fire circle and attacks the opponent's flank!" Alexander said in a deep voice. However, after giving the order, he found that the orderer had not moved at all. Alexander was furious: "You bastard, you are still in a daze at this time!"
"It's not that he's in a daze, it's the commander who told him not to go."
