Putting away the telescope, Zhou Dingshan reached out to take his silver spear, clamped it on the horse's belly, and one person and one horse flew out like soaring clouds. The horses' hooves were heavy and covered with silver armor. Over the years, Zhou Dingshan's temperament has become more and more calm, even though he is brave enough to win the three armies.
, but rarely do those brave and ruthless things.
From Tie Mo, Zhou Dingshan really learned a lot. The first thing a qualified cavalry commander has to do is to forget how brave he is. The cavalry is a special unit with many changes. It must issue orders and retreat at any time.
, projectile suppression, flank harassment, heavy riding to open the way, etc., these must be carefully observed by the coach.
Therefore, the most taboo thing for a cavalry commander is to charge forward. Even when it is the most dangerous, he must calmly make a retreat plan instead of rushing forward to fight for his life. Therefore, Zhou Dingshan became more stable, so what if he was brave enough to defeat the three armies?
Although he won a hundred men, he could not save ten thousand people. This time, Zhou Dingshan rushed out because the overall situation was decided and he did not want more cavalry soldiers to die in the hands of the German.
Weishel felt the danger coming, turned his head and looked around, and saw a silver stream of light flying towards him, a sharp spear, like a dragon burrowing through the ground. Weishel could not avoid it, so he could only resist it with all his strength. Bang Dang, Silver
The spear pierced the blade of the broadsword. The powerful force coupled with the impact of the war horse actually forced Weishel to take three steps back. What was even more frightening was that it was not over yet. In an instant, Zhou Dingshan thrust out not a spear, but the head of the spear.
In the blink of an eye, four spears were thrust out. Weishel was unable to resist, but was stabbed in the shoulder in the end. He pressed hard with his hands, and with a pop, Weishel's left shoulder was stabbed through with great force.
When it was pulled, blood immediately dripped from it.
Weishel was in pain and tried to calm down. He held the broadsword tightly in his right hand and slashed at the gun shaft with all his strength. He had to cut off the gun shaft, otherwise he would be torn in half alive if he let it be torn apart. Zhou Dingshan was really honest.
Unexpectedly, Wechel could react like this under such circumstances. He knew very well how powerful the sword was. This silver spear was made by a famous craftsman invited by the supervisor, and the tip of the spear was made of ice.
It's made of iron, but the body of the gun is different. If it's attracted by that sword, there's no guarantee it can hold it.
With his left hand, he slapped the horse's back. Zhou Dingshan jumped sideways, drew out his sword with his backhand, held the silver spear in his right hand, and used Weishel's body as support. During the rotation, he swept the sword diagonally downwards, barely able to block Weishel's angry slash.
, Zhou Dingshan was so powerful that he shook Weichel's sword away, and he fell to the ground. Then he twisted the silver gun hard, Weichel's whole body trembled violently, and the broad sword inlaid with rubies fell to the ground, and he fell to the ground again.
Unable to pick it up. Looking at Wei Xier in front of him, Zhou Dingshan just sighed slightly, exerted force on his hand, and took Wei Xier's life.
Up to this point in the battle, Wesher has left a deep impression on everyone. His bravery has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I didn't expect that such a fierce man could not withstand Zhou Dingshan for a few rounds. It is widely said in the army that Zhou Dingshan is a brave general in the world. Today, he finally saw it.
Now, especially those Slavic soldiers, they deeply respect the strong and instantly regard Zhou Dingshan as a god-like existence.
The battlefield was filled with excited shouts and morale was boosted. On the other hand, the deaths of Wecher and Charlemagne gave the Germans a blow. The heroic and ambitious people who had just surged disappeared. Wagtrey looked at
Zhou Dingshan's eyes were filled with awe. This man who was like a god of war was really powerful. With the death of Weishel, the defense line that the Germans had worked so hard to build had been shattered. Wagtrey had no choice but to look at him.
Huibai gave the order, "All the troops will shrink back, join up with Lord Baisir's troops, and retreat westward with all their strength. Let's go to Mesuda City."
Perhaps Mesuda City was the only way to survive. The Easterners gathered all their troops and came to Cenweipok. Mesuda City had become an empty city. Going west was the safest. Going east, you could only plunge into the enemy's encirclement.
The problem that Getret was aware of was also realized by Baisir. However, a large number of troops and horses were held back by the cavalry from Tomsk City, and they would not be able to retreat immediately if they failed. It was really a dilemma.
A loud arrow soared into the sky. On the chaotic battlefield, no sound could be heard, but light could be seen. Baisier's heart sank, and his whole person became gloomy and terrifying. It was over, and the Eastern Army from Tomsk City arrived.
Wagtrey was very anxious. Unlike Baisier, the troops attacking Tomsk this time did not include many children from the eastern nobility, so he did not care about the life and death of the others. The scouts also continued to spread rumors.
In response to the news, the main force of Tomsk City is already less than ten miles away from Cenweibok. They will definitely arrive within an hour. This means that the German warriors have only half an hour to retreat. "Baisir, why are you hesitating at this time?"
, cut it off when it’s time, and if we evacuate a little later, all of us will have to deal with it here.”
He was almost impatient. Wagtra didn't even bother to pretend to show respect on the surface. Byseer's face turned green and red. He didn't care about Wagtra's tone. What he cared about was the lives of those German warriors.
, seeing so many people trapped in a bitter battle unable to escape, his heart was bleeding. Once these people were left behind, they would probably be either killed or captured. Wagtrey's words were hard to hear, but the truth behind them was obvious.
It's really time to withdraw, "Just withdraw."
It was just two words, but I used all my strength to say these two words, as if my life was taken away.
The people who had withdrawn from the battle ran wildly to the west with Baisier and others. Fortunately, there were many German cavalry. After a long and fierce battle, the battlefield was full of ownerless horses. The Germans snatched the horses and fled for their lives. There were no horses.
The people also spread their legs and ran away. The Germans really withdrew. They gave up their brothers who were still fighting hard and chose to escape for their lives. They escaped in time. After only a quarter of an hour, the main force of Tomsk City
The west side was tightly blocked, and they began to cooperate with Elizabeth and Zhou Dingshan's two-pronged army to attack the besieged Germans. In addition to the previous casualties, there were still nearly 15,000 German soldiers trapped in Cenweipok at this time.
nearby.
Since almost all the noble captains fled, leaving the battlefield without a leader and facing attacks from three sides, these more than 15,000 Germanic soldiers were already struggling to support themselves and became chaotic. It was not that these Germanic people were not brave enough, but that
They could not find hope, the space for movement was getting smaller and smaller, and the Germanic people's psychological defense finally collapsed.
Royce was just an ordinary Germanic young man. He was not married yet. He had just been baptized by the family priest and was sent to the battlefield. He didn't want to die, at least he shouldn't die like this. In twenty years, he could
It's so worthless to inherit the position of lord, become a marquis, and die here. He doesn't know who he is fighting for. Those nobles ran away, leaving brave people like them to continue fighting. Is this what is called
The glory of knighthood? No, a knight should not abandon his companions.
With mixed feelings in his heart, the war horse under his crotch also became heavy. After a long battle, the war horse was almost out of strength. Seeing the Eastern cavalry approaching, Royce raised his hand and threw away the family sword, "Brother
We, we fought the enemy bravely and were not afraid of death, which has proved our bravery. Now the empire has abandoned us, but we still have the right to survive for a whole life. Now the seventh battalion of the Red-crested Knights listens to my order and puts down the weapons in our hands.
arms."
In fact, after an hour of fierce fighting, there were not many left in the 7th Brigade. There were only a dozen people left in the original group of more than fifty people. These people followed Royce's lead and saw that Royce had discarded the weapons in his hands.
They no longer wanted to fly, so they threw away the weapons in their hands, dismounted, and knelt on the ground. The brave German cavalry surrendered, and they were still a group of noble knights. Maybe the Red-Crowned Knights are not powerful, but the identity of the knights
They still have a proud character. Knights pay attention to honor. Some knights may not be able to become cavalry, but every knight will protect their dignity. Therefore, they can surrender in groups, which really requires a lot of determination.
The surrender of the 7th Brigade spread quickly throughout the battlefield like a plague. First of all, the survivors of the Red-Crowned Knights followed in Royce's footsteps and chose to surrender. The Knights of Bojo and the Double Eagle Regiment affiliated with Saxony also
They fought hard, but facing the powerful Northern Shanxi Army, their resistance was in vain.
In the evening, peace returned to Cenweibok. This battle was a huge blow to the Germans. The battlefield was full of corpses of the dead. Elizabeth agreed to the request of Royce and others and allowed these German prisoners to bury their German compatriots. Battlefield
Above, both sides fought to the death, but after walking out of the battlefield, it was difficult for everyone to hate. Although these Germans surrendered and became prisoners, many of them did not insult their status as knights. They were really brave, but sometimes they were not.
Bravery and fearlessness can change the situation of the war.
We are all soldiers, each is his master, and each lives and dies according to his destiny. If we become enemies because of these, it would be a little too petty.
Royce and others did not disappoint Elizabeth. These Germanic prisoners behaved very well. They did things with peace of mind, so the Northern Jin Army would naturally not be too embarrassed. Elizabeth and others were in a very good mood, and they were able to capture so many knights, which was unprecedented in the past.
It is unique. The Germanic knights value honor and will not surrender easily even if they die. Although the Bojo Cavalry Regiment surrendered a lot at the beginning, the so-called Bojo Cavalry did not have many knights. Instead, they were red-top knights.
The regiment, as the noble knights of the vineyards of the Kingdom of Lorraine, has always been known as the elegant German winemaker. In the Germanic Empire, they have a distinguished status. Each knight almost represents a vineyard farm. Behind them stands Lorraine.
A kingdom-like aristocratic force.
The vineyard aristocrats are keen on wealth and not obsessed with power, so they are not as famous as the eastern aristocrats and the Danube aristocrats, but their overall strength is far stronger than that of the southern blacksmith family. What Elizabeth is interested in is not how many captives she got, but these
With the influence brought by the knights, I am afraid that if this news is spread back to the Holy Empire, it will cause a big earthquake in the territory of the Holy Empire. A large number of noble knights will surrender. This will be like a bolt from the blue to the confidence of the Holy Roman Empire.
The post-war statistics were quickly sent to Elizabeth. Zhou Dingshan was also stationed in Cenweiboke, so he was always guarding Elizabeth. Several commanders were also talking and laughing about today's events. The one that everyone talked about the most was the German warrior Wei Wei.
Sher Elizabeth carefully looked at the post-war statistics prepared by the staff office. In this battle, the Northern Shanxi Army suffered less than 5,000 casualties, but it annihilated more than 25,000 German infantry and cavalry and captured more than 4,000 people, including
More than six hundred red-topped knights.
In the battle of Cenweibok, the Germans directly lost 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the German army that attacked Tomsk lost almost 70%. Even Hu Elizabeth, who was cold by nature, was shocked by the results and showed a sweet smile.
. Several commanders, including Zhou Dingshan, were all stunned. It was so rare to see Princess Hu’s sweet smile with their own eyes. Princess Hu’s smile was really beautiful, but I just didn’t understand why she always
What about keeping a straight face?
"Princess, although the city of Mesuda was lost in this battle, the Germans lost more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. It can be said that half of their lives were lost. In order to save the city of Mesuda, the troops from the direction of Pusk City will definitely be divided here, and the strength of the troops will be serious.
If there is a shortage of troops, I am afraid that troops will be mobilized from within the empire." Zhou Dingshan's happiness was beyond words. He was not a greedy person. To be honest, it was unexpected to be able to achieve such great results. In comparison, Mesuda City had no
So important, "Those red-top knights have unusual identities. Has Concubine Hu ever thought about how to deal with them?"
"This is a difficult problem, but don't worry now. Let's wait until we get to Tomsk City and let the Superintendent and the others find a solution. Is there any news about the scouts sent to Mesuda City?" Elizabeth is not a reckless person. She knows how to handle government affairs.
Her ability is far inferior to that of Hai Lanzhu, so she doesn't care so much. She only cares about the battle situation.
Zhou Dingshan didn't know the situation and could only look at the generals sitting below. One of them quickly said, "The news was sent back half an hour ago, but at that time the princess was busy dealing with the Germanic affairs, so the generals were not there."
Said. According to reports from scouts, the remaining troops under Bai Sier have withdrawn into Mesuda City, and the gates of Mesuda City are now closed."
"We are really going to Mesuda City. General Zhou, please gather all the cavalry and approach Mesuda City. Don't let Baisier live too comfortably. Find a way to create pressure on Mesuda City, so as to draw Lothair's attention.
"We can use our strength to reduce the pressure on Org's side." Although I don't know the battle situation in Pusk City, I can completely analyze that Org has less than 30,000 troops, and he has to divide his troops to stay in Vilnius City. I am afraid that the soldiers and horses heading to Pusk City
It's not even 20,000, and he has to face nearly 50,000 troops around the city of Pusk. The pressure can be imagined. It is so far away from the city of Pusk that there is no way to send reinforcements, so he can only use other methods to help Orger.
