The Germans are compact but not flustered. They are rigorous and old-fashioned, and may lack flexibility. But when put on the battlefield, these characteristics will create a force with strict discipline and strong combat effectiveness.
As a vanguard general, Shang Kexi has experienced countless battles. In every previous raid, his opponents were all panicked. Only this time, these not-so-tall golden-haired barbarians were able to meticulously fight against such great pressure.
They formed an array. Gradually, Shang Kexi also put away his contempt and stopped a hundred feet away. "Tie the chain of horses, put away the sword, and change the heavy gun in the front row."
The Yunfu cavalry suddenly stopped, which confused the gathering Germans. Seeing the Yunfu cavalry quickly chaining iron ropes, the Germans did not feel the slightest threat because they had never seen chained horses, let alone chained iron chains.
The power of the iron chain chain horses. When the cavalry is fighting, the distance between the horses will be as wide as possible, so that the power of the iron chain can be maximized, and the heavy cavalry gun in the hand will also be used when charging.
Playing a huge role. The sun is intoxicated on the calm Lake Baikal, and the iron ropes are connected with the silver armor. There is no high roar, but what exudes from the Yunfu cavalry is a powerful and cold belief in victory.
The long-term training of the war has already turned the Yunfu cavalry into a group of death gods on the battlefield. Shang Kexi dragged his long knife with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, "Kill over and break up the barbarian army's formation first."
The war horses neighed and the iron hooves rolled. The Yunfu cavalry charged again, this time more orderly and more fierce. When the Yunfu cavalry rushed over again, the assembled Germans felt the obvious difference, the endless killing.
It stimulated everyone's heart, but these German cavalry did not flinch and charged forward. Two powerful cavalry, the east and west have long been war machines. One side of them is shining with silver light, the other side is covered with dark clouds, like two fighting forces.
The torrents of the embankment finally collided together.
The Yunfu cavalry did not have the heavy armor of the Iron Buddha, nor did they have the burly and terrifying majesty of the Iron Buddha. However, the Knights of the Holy Cross suffered a more severe blow than the Iron Buddha. The two sides soon encountered each other, and the German cavalry
The long knife passed by, and a Germanic man held the long knife tightly and slashed it fiercely. However, the Eastern man on the opposite side was not moved at all. He held a black cavalry gun in his hand and clamped it hard in his arms, and rushed straight towards him.
, the Easterners on the opposite side are about to be hacked to death. These ridiculous Easterners, with helmets without masks, whole body silver soft armor, and no thick heavy armor, dare to rush over in a loose formation under such circumstances, they are simply looking for death.
However, the Germanic man was too happy too early. When he saw the long knife slashing at the opponent's neck, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then his body became lighter. When he lowered his head again, he saw that the horse that had sat down was already majestic and majestic.
He bravely left his master and ran forward alone. It turned out that the heavy cavalry lance was too long, and there was no need for too many flashy things. Relying on the length, he had the upper hand, and the cavalry could miss each other in a confrontation, coupled with the speed.
The reason is that as long as you are held up by a cavalry lance and stabbed directly by the spear head, you will feel dizzy and feel severe pain. In this case, it is good to not be knocked off the horse.
After all, the Germans had never dealt with the Yunfu cavalry, and they lost their temper at this simple and effective way of grabbing heavy cavalry. In the first collision, many Germans were directly knocked over by heavy cavalry. If only
These are not terrible. The most terrible thing is the iron ropes that were scorned by the German warriors. Only when they faced each other did the Germans realize how terrifying these iron ropes were.
As long as the sharp barbs and hard iron ropes are swept over, the poor horses will either be tripped or their legs will be broken. The iron ropes will sweep across and make people fall over. Before those poor Germanic warriors can stand up, they are rushed after them.
The rangers brandished their cavalry swords to take away their lives. The Yunfu cavalry were not as fierce and steady as the Iron Buddha, but they were more aggressive and lethal.
On the high slope in the distance, Royce looked at the majestic and dull battlefield, and for some reason he felt a bad feeling in his heart. In fact, he had already thought of retreating quickly, but the next battle situation was somewhat beyond his expectation.
In the eastern part of the Baikal grassland, a mysterious army of soldiers and horses is slowly moving forward. It is a huge convoy. When the convoy stops, the curtain is lifted, and it is a new type of artillery. The dark hole seems to be swallowed up.
This sky.
The Battle of Lake Baikal is related to whether the Northern Shanxi Army can gain an advantage in Siberia, so Tie Mo will not be stingy with the chips in his hands. Although the West has made more applications of firearms in the seventeenth century, in terms of artillery, Tie Mo
Mo has full confidence. This battle will let these Western barbarians see the power of Eastern artillery.
Just as the Germans were fighting with the Northern Shan army, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded from behind the German cavalry. The sound was accompanied by violent vibrations, as if the earth was cracking. Looking back for a while, I saw thick smoke billowing and roaring sounds.
with wailing sounds.
Artillery is Eastern artillery. Many Germans were shocked. Why can Eastern artillery cross the front line and reach directly to the rear of the army? Do Eastern artillery have such a long range?
Accompanied by the wails and surprises of the German cavalry and a burst of fierce artillery fire, the battle was destined to end.
In the grassland east of Lake Baikal, the artillery of the Northern Shanxi Army achieved a great victory in its first campaign in Siberia. Of course, everything happened for a reason. In the final analysis, it was because the Germans did not understand the Northern Shanxi Army so much that they even regarded the Ming Dynasty as
The North Korean firearms are regarded as a joke. In the eyes of the Germans, apart from the fact that Easterners have more muskets, in fact there is still a big gap in the application of firearms compared to the West. Take artillery as an example, if Easterners have mature applications, why did they do it before?
Why not use it in Siberia?
However, there was a burst of fierce artillery fire on Lake Baikal, and the Germans realized how ignorant they were. In front of these weak Easterners, the German warriors were beaten and had no power to fight back.
Standing on a high place and looking at the battlefield, Royce felt chilled in his heart. The first blocking line organized by Botten was defeated so quickly. The German cavalry that had been invincible before was actually beaten to pieces. Botten was panting.
After escaping back, only half an hour later, Bo Tengen enjoyed a journey from heaven to hell. His life was saved, but he suffered a lot of injuries. Even the war horse he rode on was lost due to a broken leg.
On the battlefield, "Lord Royce, you are right, we have to retreat quickly. The Easterners' cavalry is brave, and the artillery is so powerful that we can't resist it at all."
If Royce orders the formation to disperse immediately at this time, and uses cruising methods to contain the outside, plus a frontal blockade, he will definitely be able to contain the Yunfu cavalry's impact momentum to the greatest extent. Unfortunately, Royce encountered it for the first time
This novel tactical method of chain horse and artillery cover, how can you expect this? He gritted his teeth, almost bleeding from the corners of his mouth, "Retreat to the west immediately. Although the Easterners are powerful, the chain of iron chains is not as fast as ours, and the artillery is not as good as ours."
We can't move our position easily. Before the soldiers and horses from the north come over, leave quickly. Don't be reluctant to fight."
In fact, Royce didn't say these words. Even if he didn't say it at this time, no one would be stupid enough to engage in a head-on battle and rush forward under the enemy's fire. Isn't this just to see God?
In order to block the impact of the Yunfu cavalry, Royce ordered the camp to be burned. The style of the German camp was very strange. The military tents were very close to each other and there was not much emphasis on them. However, it was much more convenient to set fire to it.
Together, they successfully blocked the Yunfu cavalry from outside, so Shang Kexi could only order to go around. It was this little time that gave the Germans a chance to escape. Due to Royce's decisive retreat and the burning of the camp,
, the plan of letting the Yunfu cavalry hold off the opponent completely failed.
In order to completely annihilate the barbarian army near Lake Baikal, Tie Mo spent a lot of money, abandoned the Ice and Snow City, and transferred the garrison there to Lake Baikal. The purpose was to use the strong infantry advantage to form an encirclement situation against the barbarian army near Lake Baikal.
However, no one expected that the always proud and fanatical Germans could actually run faster than rabbits. There was a fierce fight in the grasslands east of Lake Baikal, and Tie Mo kept watching from a distance. It can be said that the reaction of the Germans was definitely a strong one.
Opponent Royce may not know Tie Mo, but Tie Mo has already seen Royce in his eyes, "Has the opponent's leader figured it out?"
Recently, the Intelligence Department and the scouts have been trying to find out about the barbarian army, but due to various reasons, the progress has been very slow. Sha Diao put down the telescope, without much confidence on his face, "Superintendent, judging from his age and figure, this
The person should be a young man from the Frederick family. He is so young, has commanding skills, and has a high status. It seems that he is the only one."
"This Germanic man is very extraordinary. We must find out his specific identity. He will be our strong enemy in the future." Although Tie Mo was a little dissatisfied, he did not blame the sand sculpture anymore. After all, this era is no better than later generations. Just the language barrier and the difference in appearance.
As a result, it was a big problem to find out the information. Sha Diao felt that the pressure was a bit great, so he quietly retreated and directly found Shang Kexi, "General Shang, could you please catch a few more people alive."
As a large number of infantrymen from the Northern Jin Army pressed forward from the north, the defenses built by the Germans on Lake Baikal collapsed completely, and the Knights of the Holy Cross, which had been in Siberia for two months, also suffered its first defeat since the Eastern Expedition. If
If the German cavalry did not take the Northern Shan Dynasty seriously before, now they have felt the danger.
Royce had no nostalgia for Lake Baikal, even though he knew the importance of Lake Baikal. Under the leadership of Royce, the German cavalry retreated resolutely. They followed the road they had opened before and fled to the west.
Near the East Sayan Mountains, the troops of Royce and Sugus joined forces. However, the Yunfu cavalry attack followed. Royce looked at the sky and wanted to curse. Are these Orientals tireless? Lake Baikal
They had already taken them back, and yet they pursued them so desperately. I don’t know how many Germanic warriors died at the hands of the Orientals along the way.
Royce's army could only continue to flee westward. Fortunately, they were all cavalry, and their speed was not slower than the Yunfu cavalry. By Xu time, the sky completely darkened, and Royce finally reached the north of the West Sayan Mountains, which is Nannuco.
Near the city. After the expeditionary force retook the Eastern Sayan Mountains and the Angara River, they stopped pursuing it. Only then did Royce have a chance to breathe. In the unbuilt castle of Nannuco City,
Royce squinted his eyes and rested while Sugus gave a tactical report on behalf of the seriously injured Boten. As he listened, Royce's hands began to tremble.
In just one day, nearly 10,000 troops and horses were lost. This battle was too tragic.
The cold wind blowing in the grassland at night made the defeated Germans even more desolate. Many Germans let their horses wander around and lay on the ground breathing heavily, even though they had arrived in Nannuco City for nearly half an hour.
, but they still can't forget what happened in Lake Baikal. In the past few decades, the Germans, especially the Knights of the Holy Cross, have never encountered such a tragic blow. Nearly ten thousand cavalry were killed in Lake Baikal.
A huge somersault, nearly ten thousand people were lost, and it was definitely a huge loss of vitality. A Germanic man held his helmet and stared blankly at the sky. As long as he closed his eyes, he would think of that weird Eastern cavalry, stained with blood.
The iron chain was like a hook, taking away the lives of countless brothers.
The Knights of the Holy Cross are very different from other cavalry regiments. The entire knights are composed of noble children. They fight the most bravely, so in Lake Baikal, the Knights of the Holy Cross also suffered the greatest losses.
Royce was in no mood to rest. The fiasco at Lake Baikal made him feel heavy. Such a huge loss was unacceptable to Royce. As the proud heir of the Frederick family, such a failure was absolutely not allowed. The cold wind blew across his face.
The sky is high and stars are dotted on the curtain. It is empty and silent. Royce has been thinking about why he was defeated so miserably. With the powerful Holy Empire cavalry in hand, nearly three cavalry regiments were beaten without any resistance.
force.
I was too arrogant and kept laughing at Volkan and the Slavs for their blind optimism. In the end, I made the same mistake. On the Tunguska River, the Orientals played very conservatively, but on Lake Baikal, the Orientals seemed to have changed their style.
They were very aggressive and chased the Germanic warriors for two days. Are the Easterners really conservative? No, they are not conservative at all. They go crazy and are even more ferocious than the soldiers of the Holy Empire. Especially their formations are simply
It is breathtaking. At least in the West, I have never seen such a large-scale infantry battle formation, thick shields, tight defense, uniform spear thrusts, and volleys of musket fire. Perhaps the defeat of Lake Baikal did not
It's not all bad. The coalition forces still lack enough understanding of the Easterners.
