No matter how much Mitris urged the troops, the fact of failure could not be changed. [First text of the text
In this small-scale battle that determined the final direction of the war, Dragon City showed a very powerful side.
In the face of the bloody facts, Mitris had to admit that the copycat spearmen were still quite weak compared to the original Longcheng spearmen.
From the beginning of the battle to the current retreat, the spearmen have proven to be just a trick in front of Guan Gong in front of Longcheng. The troops that had high hopes were easily defeated by the opponent, which made Mitris very frustrated and even lost his temper for a time.
He had the faith to persevere. Although he knew subconsciously that it was not easy for an apprentice to defeat his master. But he was full of confidence but was hit with a basin of cold water, which was so cold that it chilled his heart.
Faced with the continuous retreat of Mitris' troops, Longcheng did not give up this opportunity. They kept putting huge pressure on the opponent from beginning to end. The entire front line of the army did not give the opponent a chance to retreat at all, forcing them to retreat.
While the opponent is retreating, they are constantly filling holes in the battle line.
Even though I will also suffer casualties in the opponent's dying counterattack, I can't care about these losses now. As long as I can completely defeat the opponent here, the battle of Adiya Fortress will end with the victory of Dragon City!
In order to keep up with the rhythm of the frontal battlefield, other troops in the Adiya Fortress also began a large-scale counterattack. They no longer had a small fight like before, but attacked fiercely, giving a fatal blow to the enemy who had no time to react!
For a time, the entire Adiya Fortress turned into a Dragon City with fewer troops, fully suppressing an enemy whose strength was several times greater than its own. Unlike the Dragon City, which had been well prepared, the Eastern United Army seemed quite passive. The command system
It has not been connected until now, and the situation of each unit being organized to fight independently has not changed. Faced with Dragon City's sudden attack, each unit that had no time to react suffered heavy casualties.
The soldiers of the First Division of the Third Army of Longcheng, who gave up their guerrilla strategy, broke out into a decisive battle and caused huge casualties to the enemy in a short period of time. According to post-war statistics, before the decisive battle began, many soldiers were killed by Longcheng.
The number of casualties caused by guerrilla tactics and trap tactics in the city was probably less than 2,000. However, within two hours after the decisive battle began, nearly 5,000 casualties were caused!
It can be seen how cruel this counterattack is.
Afterwards, after Zhou Yunfei read the detailed report, he evaluated the normal battle in a few words: decisive decision-making and fierce attack.
Indeed, the sudden rise of the First Division of the Third Army directly established the final victory of the Adiya Fortress. Not only on the main frontal battlefield, two thousand elites defeated the main force of five thousand enemy troops in one fell swoop, but also on other battlefields.
It directly impressed the final direction.
Mitris gave up. He knew that there was no hope of victory even if he continued the fight. His main force could not withstand the opponent's attack at all, especially when he knew that the southern city wall behind him had been recaptured by Dragon City again, he felt so excited in his heart.
The last hope was also wiped out.
It's not like he never thought about turning around and attacking the city wall, cooperating with the branch outside the fortress to seize the city wall. However, the main force of Dragon City in front did not give him a chance to withdraw, and they held on tightly. Once Mitris gave the order to retreat, then
The morale that had not been broken until now would collapse immediately. He could not and did not dare to, so he could only struggle hard in this passive situation and slowly retreat towards the south wall.
It had long been expected that Mitris would break his arms after learning that the city wall had changed hands, and chose to retreat and attack the city wall, cooperating with the troops outside the fortress to open the retreat channel. Naturally, Li Lan would not give Mitris this opportunity. Not only did he order the main force to counterattack, even if he had to sacrifice
The high cost of casualties did not give Mitris a chance to turn around. At the same time, he also issued a desperate order, requiring the detachment stationed on the southern city wall to defend the impact outside the fortress at all costs, and to intercept the breakthrough of Mitris's troops.
Way out!
Generally speaking, officers in Longcheng will not issue death orders easily. This means that those outstanding soldiers who receive the orders will pay a huge price. For the generals in Longcheng, soldiers are not promoted to officers.
The tool of the road is a living life, a brother who gets along day and night! Therefore, once the general orders the soldiers to die, the soldiers will execute it without hesitation. This is a kind of trust and a bond.
.
Li Lan knew that now was not the time to hesitate. Necessary sacrifice was a choice that a good general would definitely face. For the sake of victory and the future of Dragon City, Li Lan had to decisively issue the death order.
When the battle reached this point, everyone understood the passive situation of the Eastern United Army. Cotedis outside the fortress finally understood that if he could not break through the southern city wall, the troops in the fortress would be destroyed. Once these elites failed,
He is also unable to attack the Edea Fortress.
Therefore, he ignored the low combat effectiveness of the archers and concentrated wave after wave of attacks to continuously attack the southern city wall.
During the counterattack, a thousand heavily armored warriors became the key force in retaking the southern city wall. When the enemy relaxed, they attacked and retaken the city wall in one fell swoop. However, they are likely to face internal and external attacks next.
The force outside the city is okay. They have the advantage of the tall city wall when approaching, and coupled with the opponent's low combat effectiveness, holding the city wall is not a problem. However, the impact inside the city is much more difficult, because the terrain of the fortress facing the city is all long slopes and wide
The main ladder. These were originally designed to reduce the time for the defenders to go up and down the city wall, but now they have caused great trouble to the troops.
The city wall is too wide, and if you want to defend it, you have to spread out your troops. And to take care of the defense on both sides, the troops used are even more stretched. Even though the soldiers of Dragon City have strong individual combat effectiveness, the heavy armored soldiers are among them.
The best. But the enemies are not bad either. You must know that people who are cornered will often burst out with unimaginable fighting power.
No wonder Li Lan gave a death order when he gave the order. This task was almost impossible to complete. But the heavy-armored soldiers of the 1st Division of the Third Army didn't think so. In their daily battles, these heavy-armored soldiers
The middle soldiers are not very outstanding. Among the major armies in Dragon City, the formation of heavy armor warriors can be regarded as one of the rarest types of arms.
As the pikemen's phalanx became more and more perfect, the fighting style slowly formed by swordsmen and shieldmen has gradually replaced the heavy armor era in the past. The cavalry troops no longer need to attack the enemy's main formation, so the heavy and heavy body armor has been cancelled.
It was replaced by lightweight and flexible composite armor.
In the same way, among the army infantry, the heavy infantry used to concentrate on breaking the enemy has gradually decreased. Now the Dragon City troops rely more on the maneuverability of large corps and long-range superior firepower to break the formation. The spectacular scene of collective charges in the past is gone.
Never again.
Therefore, the status of heavy infantry is getting weaker and weaker. If the Longcheng military had not retained the establishment of heavy infantry for various troops in order to cope with emergencies, these canned infantry might have been eliminated long ago.
Although there are fewer and fewer opportunities to fight, every soldier who is selected into the heavy infantry formation is sincerely proud. The Dragon City heavy infantry can be traced back to the glorious Euphorbia warriors in the battle to found the army.
Troops. It was because of that miraculous casualty ratio that people had high hopes for the heavy infantry. But gradually, when Dragon City formed its own combat concept, the thick and bloated canned soldiers could no longer keep up.
But they never complained. When they joined the heavy armored force, they would be inspired by Zhou Yunfei's words passed down.
"The impact of heavy cavalry is like a tsunami, and the defense of heavy steps is as steady as Mount Tai!"
A simple sentence, but it expresses the true meaning of heavy equipment.
The charge of heavily armored knights was definitely a strategic-level killing weapon in the era of cold weapons. Even a phalanx of dragon city pikemen might not be able to withstand the tsunami-like impact of heavy cavalry. It was a destructive level of deterrence.
In the age of cold weapons, the impact of large-scale heavy cavalry can directly determine the outcome of a war!
The heavy infantry has always been known as the rock in the army. The moving city wall is the best portrayal of them. In the face of the tide, I stand firm and motionless. Like the real Mount Tai, I block all the impacts in front of me.
It can be said that every general hopes to have a heavy cavalry unit that can change the situation of the battle, but when it comes to the real choice, everyone will choose the Tarzan-like heavy infantry. Because once you have them, you have an invincible force.
Capital of land!
After returning to Adiya Fortress, there were only less than 1,500 heavy infantry in the entire Third Army. They did not have mixed formations like other arms, but still maintained their own unique organization.
The Third Army's ** Heavy Armor Regiment is their number. At this moment in the Adiya Fortress, this ** Heavy Armor Regiment took over the order from Li Lan and defended the south city wall!
The troops outside the fortress began to continuously attack the south city wall, but due to the terrain, the momentum never posed a threat. The heavy armored regiment could easily hold on. The opponent's bow and arrow shooting under the fortress had almost no lethal effect on them!
Don't ignore the defensive power of hoplites!
Trying to penetrate two centimeters thick steel plate armor without special armor-piercing arrows, plus lined leather armor, is simply a joke!
Cortez didn't have any good ideas. Facing these iron cans, he could only continuously order his troops to attack. He didn't believe that the opponent could always maintain enough physical strength. The armor with abnormal defense was also a huge burden!
The battle is gradually moving towards the next point. Whether Li Lan can achieve a miraculous victory in Aditya City depends on whether the heavy armored regiment on the south city wall can withstand the impact of both internal and external fronts. If he can hold on, then Li Lan will
Lan can annihilate the main force of the enemy in the fortress. If he cannot hold it, then although the enemy has failed, he can still retreat from the fortress. It can be said that the south wall determines whether the final victory of the Adiya Fortress is victory or defeat.
Big victory.
