In the middle of the 9th hour, after a two-hour long journey, Orger successfully circled around from the north. Near 10th hour, the sky and the earth were still dark, and there was not much light of dawn. Orger did not think about marching cautiously, approaching the German camp.
Finally, Orger built up the momentum. "The ministries listened to the order and divided into four teams to approach the church camp in a dispersed formation. We must use the momentum to attract the Germans to our side as much as possible."
The four thousand elite cavalry concealed their whereabouts and could not see anything when they slowed down. But once they were at full power, their sharp edges were revealed and their momentum was overwhelming. Although the Germans had placed many secret sentries, everything happened too suddenly.
, the news of the enemy attack had not been sent back to the big tent, the outer camp had been violently attacked by the cavalry of the Ruifeng Battalion. At the end of Mao hour, just when they were sleeping, they were suddenly attacked. Many German soldiers were still a little confused.
Confused, most of the people were burned to death in the fire before they had time to put on their clothes and get out of the tent. The whole camp became chaotic. The German soldiers did not know what the actual situation was, and they could only run away in fear.
The incident happened too suddenly, the battle had already been going on for a quarter of an hour, and many church soldiers were still in a dazed state. Turik, the leader of the church legion, woke up from his sleep, holding a broad sword and looking fiercely at the barracks to the north.
, the place was already blazing with fire, and many church soldiers were still running this way, "Come here, seal the road in front. Anyone who dares to run around will be killed without mercy. Organize a counterattack with manpower, the Easterners are not as powerful as us,
There aren’t too many cavalry. As long as we don’t mess up and block their first round of fierce attacks, we have the final say.”
Turik was able to become the commander of a regiment of more than 20,000 people. He also has some real talent and knowledge. He has already figured out the situation of the Easterners. There are only more than 15,000 people in total. After excluding the heavy troops, he can really participate in the war.
There are less than 14,000 elite soldiers, and this level of strength is nothing to be afraid of.
It was precisely because of understanding these that Turik dared to lead the army to confront each other across the river. Turik became furious and the chaotic scene began to be controlled. The Germans followed Turik's orders and led several thousand captains to fight against him.
A fierce counterattack was launched from the north, and the soldiers of the northern camp who were in chaos were also infected, and began to organize manpower to cooperate with the main force to counterattack in an orderly manner. Soon Orger's cavalry encountered layers of resistance, and the situation became increasingly unoptimistic.
A large part of the reason for achieving good results was due to the darkness. Under the cover of night, the formations spread out, and the Germans could not figure out the actual situation at all, so they could only adopt the safest method. Even so,
Orger's pressure was still considerable. Many church cavalry slowly moved in from the flanks, and the church army from the front was also approaching little by little.
Turik's method is not very clever, but it is very practical. He has an absolute advantage in military strength. He only needs to advance step by step, and he will definitely win the final victory. As the Germans' counterattack becomes stronger and stronger,
, the left wing near the river bank has been forced to the left and right, and it is difficult to deal with it. "General Orger, the left wing has been broken through by the enemy, and Commander Ma requested to withdraw the troops."
The situation was not good, but Olger did not panic. He just thought about it for a moment and said solemnly, "Tell Ma Tonglin that if you dare to retreat even half a step without the general's order, you will be dealt with according to the military law. Send an order to all departments to hold on."
.”
Who dares not to listen to Orger's order to fight to the death? The military laws of the Northern Shanxi Army are strict, and they have always been so. If they dare to disobey orders on the battlefield, they will only die. With Orger's order, those commanders who have the intention to retreat can only forcefully
If you hold on bravely, there is no way to retreat, so you can only fight desperately. The Ruifeng Battalion cavalry is known as the cavalry among cavalry. Once it shows its power, its momentum is terrifying. The chain of horses was quickly assembled, and the heavy cavalry launched against the thickest part of the Germanic formation.
Rushing, Turik happened to be commanding here.
The heavy cavalry combined with the chain of horses was always unfavorable. The formation organized by the Germans was quickly cut apart. Turik also broke out in a cold sweat. "Hurry up and let the troops and horses from the rear come up. We must trap these Easterners to death."
Man, avenge your dead brothers."
Faced with tremendous pressure, Turik finally made a mistake. This is not Turik's fault. Who would have thought that the Northern Shanxi Army could come from the top of Nushui Mountain? The happiest person to mobilize troops from the rear is Ao
Ergo, ordered his soldiers to fight to the death and pay such a high price. The purpose was to attract the church soldiers from the south and minimize the risk of a sneak attack.
A fierce battle was going on in the German camp. All this was under the observation of the Northern Shanxi Army scouts. Zhou Dingshan had been enduring it. He believed that Orger would be able to attract most of the Germans. Zhou Dingshan had to believe in Orger. Fortunately, Orger
Erg did not disappoint. As soon as the German soldiers in the south were mobilized, the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army who had been lying in wait for a long time began to implement a real sneak attack plan.
With the addition of the southern garrison, the situation of Orger's troops can be imagined. Turik seemed to have taken some medicine. The troops and horses were mobilized quickly and ruthlessly. Even Orger was forced to retreat continuously.
, "Bah, this Turik is really difficult to deal with. A temporary army that is a mix of old and new makes it even more difficult for him to command." Orger is not complimenting anyone, Turik is actually quite capable.
Bang, suddenly there was a loud noise in the rear, and then the camp to the south also burst into flames. Turik was commanding the army to counterattack, and it was about to succeed. Suddenly, a huge fire broke out in the rear, and he saw the flames coming from the rear.
At that place, Turik's heart skipped a beat. That was where the South Camp was, and Turik almost jumped up. "Where is the spy? Can anyone tell me what happened back there?"
Since Zhou Dingshan decided to attack, he usually did it as fast as the wind, and naturally did not give Turik time to think carefully. Nearly 5,000 soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army were divided into left and right wings and rushed towards the outermost camp of the Germans. The defensive strength of the South Camp itself was
It was not as good as other places. Another part of its troops had been taken away, and it was even more weak. Facing the powerful attack of the Northern Shanxi Army, the defense line that had been built with great difficulty fell apart in an instant. Scotto, who was in charge of the defense of the South Camp, was so anxious that he almost lost his hair.
After clearing it, "The people scattered outside gave up the defense zone and moved closer to the Chinese army camp. Myutair, go and tell Lord Turik that the South Camp cannot be defended without reinforcements."
The Germans resisted day by day, but in the face of the sudden attack, all defenses were pale and powerless. The strength advantage that the Shanxi Army had in a short period of time could not be compensated by others. Zhou Dingshan knew very well where his advantage was and could quickly gain it.
A breakthrough relies on a surprise attack. If the decisive advantage cannot be gained before the Germans react, then this sneak attack will be meaningless.
Setting up their battle formation and facing off head-on, the Northern Shanxi Army did not have much advantage. The South Camp was already ablaze. A large number of Northern Shanxi Army soldiers poured into the camp and began to clean up the battlefield. Zhou Dingshan's eyes were deep and his face was a little heavy. "Tell all the troops, don't do it yet."
Clean the battlefield, advance quickly, and don't let the Germans organize an effective defense line."
"Here" with Zhou Dingshan's urging, the actions of the Northern Shanxi Army became more unified. Although there were still many German remnants in the South Camp, a large number of Northern Shanxi Army soldiers ignored this and directly attacked the Chinese Army Camp.
At the intersection heading to the Zhongju Camp, they were finally met with desperate resistance by Scotto's troops. Captain Mytell blocked the intersection with two rows of shield soldiers.
When the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army reached the intersection, their speed slowed down. The two sides quickly fought each other. A large number of German infantry held up their shields and poked their steel knives out of the gaps. Because it was a sneak attack, the march was slowed down.
Obviously, it is impossible to carry a heavy shield with speed. Now facing the German infantry formation, the Northern Shanxi Army, which lacked shields, suffered a big loss as soon as they came up.
Lack of protection will inevitably pay a heavy price. The previous attack was overwhelming, but now it is difficult to move forward. Every soldier of the Northern Shanxi Army knows that this is an attack with no retreat. Once the attack is blocked and the Germans launch a counterattack, it will be difficult.
It was dangerous. Although a bridge was built on the top of Nushui Mountain, it could not allow a large number of soldiers to pass in a short time. This so-called back road was not safe. Poof, a soldier of the Northern Shanxi Army hit the German shield.
On the top, the burly body and the fierce impact force caused the shield to be pressed down suddenly. Unfortunately, the Germanic steel knives were not polite. Two steel knives came over from the side. This soldier from the Northern Shanxi Army was bored.
He snorted and fell into the crowd.
In order to break through this line of defense and rush into the Chinese army camp, the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army were like crazy. They hit the shield with their bodies, and some people's shoulders were dripping with blood. The soldiers of the Church were not battle-hardened Germanic troops. Gradually,
Frightened by the crazy fighting style of the Northern Shanxi Army, Mu Taier saw it and was anxious in his heart. The formation retreated little by little. He held up his broad sword and roared loudly, "Didn't I prepare kerosene before?
Throw the kerosene across and burn these Eastern pagans to death."
In order to rush to the aid of Festak City, the church made full preparations, including a lot of kerosene. Unfortunately, Festak fell too quickly, and the prepared kerosene was useless. At this time, Myrtair
I was forced to have no other choice, so I came up with the damaging move of using kerosene. If you use kerosene in a place like this, you might burn your own people. The two sides are already fighting together. Once they come into contact with kerosene, they will probably be burned.
The capital cannot be withdrawn. But in order to keep the army from collapsing, we can only give it a try. After Myrtair shouted, the people around him showed doubtful eyes, "Sir Myrtair, you can't do this. Once you use fire,
Oil, it is very likely to affect our own people."
"Listen to my order, haven't you seen how fierce the Easterners' offensive is? If you don't find a way, sooner or later they will be allowed to rush into the Chinese army camp, and then all of us will die. If you have any other ideas
, say it now, if not, immediately execute the military order." Myrtair didn't know the risks involved, but at this moment, how could he take so much care?
Others also looked helpless. Looking at each other, they couldn't think of any better ideas. In the end, they could only agree to Myrtair's plan. A large number of fire oil cans were thrown to the opposite side.
A moment later, a fire broke out in the crowd. Morin Orthodox led dozens of soldiers under his command to attack the Germanic formation. He could clearly feel that these church soldiers could no longer withstand it. Compared with the church soldiers,
There was still a big gap between the elite soldiers of the Knights of the Holy Cross. They were about to make progress. Suddenly, there were bursts of miserable howls from behind, and kerosene was burning in sheets. Countless soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army were unprepared and killed.
Covered by flames.
The cold wind was raging, the fire was getting stronger, the smell of blood, burning, and the firelight illuminated the night like day. Molin couldn't help but tremble in her heart, her eyes were bloodshot, "These Germanic people actually used fire oil in this situation, these
The so-called church people are all beasts with human faces.”
Things like kerosene are very destructive and full of unpredictability. Even when defending a city, they must be used with caution, let alone when the two sides are facing each other on the ground. Even if the Germans have tried their best to be careful and tried every means to kill them.
The kerosene was thrown into the distance, but the unpredictable cold wind still swept the fire. Many soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army were burned by the fire, screaming and crawling around. Many people also rushed into the German army formation.
middle.
Most of the shields used by the Germanic people were wooden, and when they were exposed to fire, they were ignited a lot. A Germanic soldier held the shield with his teeth clenched, and the broadsword in his right hand was ready to stab the invading enemy to death. Suddenly, his eyes turned red.
The ears were filled with inhuman screams. It was a person, a person whose whole body was covered by fire. He rushed over like crazy. The fireman hugged the shield and merged into one instantly. The shield was ignited. This German
The soldier was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand.
Being burned alive by fire is a very cruel thing. No one thought that the people above would use such a method. Everything was in chaos. Myrtair's trick of using kerosene really worked.
But for a short time, he underestimated the impact of kerosene. A large number of soldiers from the Northern Shanxi Army rushed into the German formation like fireballs. For a while, the battlefield was filled with screams and curses. Zhou Dingshan's eyes were about to burst.
The veins in his arms swelled, and he watched his subordinates one by one being swallowed up by the fire. The heartache could not be described in words. Fortunately, these were elite soldiers, and they were not frightened by the scene in front of them. A war horse neighed, and Zhou Dingshan raised his head.
With long spears, they fiercely killed them, and the remaining two thousand soldiers followed Zhou Dingshan in launching a desperate charge against the Germanic front.
The hellish sea of fire not only damaged the morale of the Northern Shanxi Army, but also tortured the conscience of the German soldiers. They didn't understand that the merciful God would allow such evil deeds. On the battlefield, they didn't care how despicable the means were.
?
With Zhou Dingshan leading the charge, Myrtair finally couldn't hold it anymore, and a large number of German soldiers began to retreat towards the Chinese camp. As a result, the entire Zhongju camp was completely trapped in a passive situation of being attacked from two sides.
