At the sound of the bugle, the first wave of Welsh troops advanced. This wave of troops included an infantry phalanx composed of 10,000 soldiers, and another 10,000 light and heavy assault infantry hidden behind the phalanx. They were able to get the second
The attack wave was supported by archery troops. Lieutenant General Glens watched the battlefield closely. He hoped that the first attack wave could open two or three gaps in the Sibia Army's defense line so that it could be divided and the Sibia Army would be destroyed.
The Guards entered the battle in advance, and after the entire front fell into a melee, the second wave of attacks came forward to clean up the mess.
When the strength of the troops is roughly one to two, the earlier the melee enters, the more advantageous it will be to the side with more people. The Sibia Infantry Corps lacks experience and combat effectiveness. Although the emperor personally commands the formation, the lieutenant general believes that once
If their front is broken through by their own troops, the opponent's infantry regiment will immediately collapse. In the entire battle concept, the only thing that the lieutenant general has concerns about is the opponent's Guards, so in terms of troop deployment, he will be in the first wave of attack.
Both wings were equipped with the most elite infantry phalanxes. No matter which direction the Guards attacked from, they would be seeking death.
Even if they succeed in the assault and the first attack wave collapses, the Lieutenant General will still have the power to defeat the opponent - to a certain extent, the Lieutenant General even hopes that the opponent will do this. The Sibia Guards will definitely attack. The Lieutenant General will consider
What he wanted was to minimize his own casualties during the assault. If possible, he also hoped that the organized troops would survive the first wave of attacks.
The distance between the two armies was shortened to four miles!
On the battlefield at this time, in the eyes of the commanders of both sides, the opponent's troop deployment was clear at a glance. All 30,000 Sibia infantrymen were in a line, with pikemen as the forerunner, and other arms as follow-up to form a solid line of defense.
There is another thousand infantry as a defense line reserve. Three thousand light cavalry are waiting on the left wing, and the most powerful Guards are also behind the defense line. They number about 8,000. There are about a thousand Guards on the hill where the headquarters is located.
, and more than a thousand winged flying troops have not yet appeared.
Seeing that Cohen Keda put the Guards behind the formation, and the infantry regiment entered the battlefield in that strange way, the lieutenant general was confused for a moment, and then vaguely understood Cohen Keda's intention - Sibi
The demi-humans must have laid a large number of traps behind the position. On the one hand, they prevented their side from forming a quick breakthrough. On the other hand, they also cut off the infantry regiment's retreat, forcing them to fight to the end. Emperor Sibia was also so cold-blooded towards his own soldiers.
What a day!
Now that he saw the opponent's intention, the lieutenant general immediately made adjustments to the troops and ordered the second wave of attacks to be prepared for both sides. When the battle situation is stalemate, he must be able to bypass the opponent's defense line and defend the opponent's guards in place.
Army assault. At the same time, order the first attack wave to prepare for a fierce battle, try to find opportunities to drive the enemy infantry from one side, and do not make a gesture of total annihilation. The enemy infantry running around the battlefield will block both sides of the enemy's Guards.
If it is one of the attack lines, then our defense will be much easier.
Because Sibia's Guards have a fatal flaw, they are not specially trained heavy cavalry. Even if their personnel have very good combat qualities and can be used as heavy cavalry in emergencies, their horses are temporarily equipped with armored stomachs.
But it can only impact once!
As long as this impact does not affect the overall situation, the following things will be much easier to handle.
I have an elite army of 70,000 under my command, but for some reason, Sibia's army only has 10,000 guards and 30,000 second-rate infantry to fight. This time Sibia's army does not have all the advantages it had before! This is a gift from God.
The opportunity given to Lieutenant General Glens is also an opportunity given to the Demon Alliance.
The distance between the two armies was shortened to three miles!
Cohen Keda, who was under the military flag, jumped off the horse, took off his helmet and gloves, rummaged around on the ground, finally pulled a few weeds, and got on the horse again in the astonished eyes of others, carefully cleaning the grass roots.
He put the white grass roots in his mouth and chewed them slowly... Although he was calm on the surface, he had to be nervous about this war in his heart.
The 30,000 troops participating in the attack on Camp failed to arrive on the battlefield. Cohen could only mobilize the same number of Guards to supplement the Camp theater. These 30,000 Guards were originally intended to deal with the Welsh army.
Once they are transferred, in order to ensure their combat effectiveness and equip them with combat equipment, the magician brigade and even the special military services will accompany them to Camp. However, the reserve team of 30,000 people used to fill up the number only has the minimum
Standard armament.
Now, Cohen does not have a flying army that can suppress the opponent. The only magician brigade can only provide basic magical protection for himself, and there is not a sufficient number of catapults. If he wants to win, he can only rely on Cohen's superb skills.
command ability.
The distance between the two armies has been shortened to two miles!
Outside the strike range of the catapult, the Welsh army stopped, partly to take a rest, and partly to remove the shield from the catapult - this kind of shield is heavier than ordinary shields, and it really requires a line of defense.
The soldiers would not be exhausted even if they walked five miles, so they were usually transported by carriages accompanying the team. Before approaching the enemy, the soldiers at the back would hold them, and they would be handed over to the frontline soldiers just before the battle. Only from this point of view
, it can also be seen that the Welsh Army's tactical drills are already quite proficient.
In this short period of time, the sound of bugles stopped, and the air above the battlefield seemed to solidify. Soldiers on both sides knew what was waiting for them, and they spent the last time cheering themselves up. Wells's army
, the army priest was praying for the soldiers; and under a military flag, the infantrymen were breathing rapidly, and their hands were gradually moistened with sweat.
"May all creatures in heaven and earth fear you, and may the inhabitants of the world trust you, King of Darkness!" At the moment when they moved their steps again, tens of thousands of people in the Welsh Army prayed in unison, "Your voice resounded across the water, and thunder thundered in
Show your majesty. You come from high heaven to watch the descendants under your authority; from your majestic throne, you inspect the common people of the earth!"
"That was the last madness of a group of scum!" In the Sibia formation, the officers explained this behavior in their own way. "The Sibia army won the battle by itself. They never talked about these ladies when they went to the battlefield.
That stuff!"
"We are always proud of the monarch we serve, and we will sing your name forever and ever. We praise you because you saved us." The Wells military formation continued to approach, and the prayer became clearer and louder.
Great, "When the enemy comes against us, he falls down and expires. Although a great army attacks us, our hearts do not tremble. We lift up our heads and despise the great enemies around us; we will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle."
!O Dark Lord, our Lord! We will sing your praises on the altar of our enemies!”
Behind the Sibia military formation, only twenty catapults began to operate. The pulleys rotated, the ropes were tightened, the wooden cantilevers "squeaked", and the special stone bullets were put up - and then, a huge magic barrier
Appeared in the sky above both armies at the same time, each shrouding their own troops.
There was a smile on the corner of Cohen Keda's mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the light cavalry on the left wing of Sibia's army was dispatched. The three thousand light cavalry moved forward slowly and came to a place slightly in front of the front line. This situation immediately caused Glens on the opposite side to
The Lieutenant General is so concerned that it is completely unreasonable to mobilize the light cavalry at this time!
The lieutenant general's mind was spinning, starting from the mobilization of light cavalry. The tactics that Sibia might use in the future emerged in his mind one by one, and his own army's response strategies were also completed one by one. Before the battle started, he had already calculated a dozen
He used the opponent's tactical combination and eliminated the opponent's use of light cavalry, so he decided to ignore it. The first wave of the Welsh Army advanced as planned!
The sound of war drums rang out in the Siby's army, and three thousand light cavalry suddenly started to gallop along their own front, rushing from the left to the right. The rapid movement of the cavalry stirred up a lot of dust, which made it difficult for Wales to see the details of the enemy's line.
Situation - This was a change of battle position. The Welsh army responded immediately, and the archery troops in the second wave also began to move.
"Look, Lieutenant General!" A staff officer pointed to the rear of Sibia's army formation, "Their Guards are moving!"
In fact, no one needs to remind him. Lieutenant General Glens also saw a lot of dust rising behind the enemy's rear. It seemed that the Sibia people were going to attack first with the Guards. What did they have to rely on? How dare they
Taking such a risk? The lieutenant general had to treat this problem cautiously. But after calculation, the lieutenant general still maintained the original tactics. Even if the Sibia Guards broke through one wing of the first wave and fought before the second wave, they
Nor can sustained combat effectiveness be guaranteed.
The sound of the war drums of the Sibiya army changed, and the catapults began to attack. Sixty flaming stone bombs flew into the sky, dragging thick black smoke, and smashed towards the Welsh army head-on.
"Raise your shields—slow down!" A military order came from the square formation. Layers of shields formed a tight defense. Most of the flaming stone bullets were bounced away, and a few hit the open space. Although they caused a continuous fire, they did not have any impact on Will.
The Sri Lankan army caused substantial damage. Cosibia's trebuchets did not make adjustments because of this, and tried their best to weave a wall of fire at the maximum range - the Cosibia people wanted to separate the two opponents with a wall of fire in the main direction.
Attack waves!
Cohen, who was under the flag of the army, waved his hand again, and the archers in the infantry square raised their bows and arrows. The shooting commander looked at the flag of the headquarters and shouted, "All marked to nine knots, hold on, hold on, hold on -
put!"
Countless long bows vibrated, and countless feathered arrows screamed. These Sibian arrows, which frightened the entire continental army, flew according to the owner's will. They were triangular in shape, long and short in the shape of spikes, all silver arrowheads, and gray shafts.
, Black Feather, played a song of killing!
This was not comparable to the scale of arrow rain last night. No matter how high the morale was, it could not add thickness to the armor on the body. The advancing Welsh army's formation was stagnant, and the infantry square formation was on the spot.
Hundreds of people fell!
As soon as they had recovered from the first wave of arrows, Sbia's second wave of arrows was approaching. The Wells phalanx immediately formed a shield wall and brought the assault infantry behind under the protection of the shield wall in order to attack the enemy.
Try to reduce casualties before engaging the enemy. At this time, Lieutenant General Glenns was faced with a major decision. Hand-to-hand combat was about to begin. He had to choose a main assault direction for the front-line troops.
Either left or right. If you choose the right choice, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you choose not, you will suffer heavy casualties. If you choose the wrong choice, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
The Sbia light cavalry, which moved laterally to the right wing, began to attack. They used bows and arrows to continuously attack the Welsh right wing infantry phalanx, especially the pikemen phalanx that Lieutenant General Glens had high hopes for. It was definitely not appropriate to carry out such a focused attack.
There is no reason, they are probably preparing for the attack of the Guards behind them.
Seeing that a charge was about to be launched on the front line, Lieutenant General Glens knew that he could not hesitate. He had to judge which side the Guards would attack from. There were a sufficient number of pikemen on both wings, but if they wanted to suppress the cavalry charge, they had to
Deploy the defense in place and adjust the direction to protect the entire front. If you can no longer commit to the attack, the focus of the attack must be on the other side.
The smoke and dust billowed behind the Sibia army formation, and it was impossible to tell where the Guards were. They had eight thousand Guards, and they were fully capable of attacking the first wave of troops from the flanks... The lieutenant general weighed the overall situation and finally made the decision of his life.
the most important decision.
Attack across the board, attack from the right wing!
The bow and arrow attack of the Sbia light cavalry is definitely a smoke that confuses you! The first wave of left-wing pikemen closely protects the left wing of the battle line, and at the same time mobilizes the second batch of pikemen to rush forward to protect the flank of the first wave; the archery troops quickly
Move in to expel the enemy's cavalry; the general reserve force moves forward in advance, preparing to bypass the enemy's front line and attack the enemy from behind when the second attack wave is engaged.
This was a prudent decision. Lieutenant General Glenns placed heavy troops on the right wing because he was sure that the enemy Guards would rush out from the left wing. On the one hand, the enemy's light cavalry had already occupied the Guards' attack position.
If the army wanted to attack from here, the light cavalry would have to give up their territory and stay away from the battle line. However, the shrewd Emperor Sbia would never let his elite archers leave the battle line.
"Ciceria!" With an order, the Welsh Army began its full-line assault. Under the guidance of dozens of ram chariots, a shield wall composed of nearly 10,000 phalanx infantry came like a mountain to oppress the Siberian Army.
, footsteps were booming, killing sounds were rising into the sky, the ground was shaking, and the air was getting hotter and hotter, but Wells’ real murderous intent was the tens of thousands of assault infantry hidden under the shield wall!
"Good judgment." Under the military flag, Cohen Keda spit out the grass roots that he had chewed to no avail, "Guards attack, right wing!"
The person he praised was, of course, the opponent's commander. Apart from anything else, Lieutenant General Glens' ability to adapt to situations was already quite good. There is no doubt that if this was a normal battle, the decision he made would be
It can gain an advantage in the war. But in this battle, the judgment made by Lieutenant General Glens will not have any impact on the battle situation. Because the eight thousand Guardsmen who can turn the tide of the battle have not moved at the same place.
Pass.
The smoke and dust in the sky is just a special effect created by hundreds of logistics carriages dragging tree branches. The parallel movement of the light cavalry's battle lines is also aimed at deepening the opponent's sense of doubt. What Cohen is waiting for is the opponent's key attack - he knows
The Guards could only attack once, and he did not intend to let the Guards hold on to attack a second time. Lieutenant General Glens would never have thought that Cohen would not need three thousand light cavalry to support the battlefield from the front in this battle.
Okay. The previous ones are not important at all. What Cohen Keda is pursuing is to keep Lieutenant General Glens’s head spinning and not make him suspect that there is something strange about the Sibia infantry.
This Sibian infantry can do acrobatics, this is what is unique.
The war drums roared, and the three thousand light cavalry started again. The rain of arrows no longer hit the pikemen phalanx, but went straight to the Welsh archery troops who came to expel them. One side was on horseback, the other side was on the ground. Every movement and one silence.
Of course, it was not the cavalry that suffered the loss... When the Welsh archers were driven back and Lieutenant General Glens sent follow-up troops to deal with them, the light cavalry turned right and stayed away from the battlefield.
This bizarre scene made the Welsh army stunned. The Sibians, who were originally small in number, actually let their troops leave like this? What kind of tactic was this? At this moment, Lieutenant General Glens even doubted Cohen
·Al-Qaeda escaped among the troops.
But the 8,000 Guards, which made the Welsh Army anxious, had already appeared on the right wing. Looking at it, the soldiers and horses were all heavily armed. After completing the turn on their right side, they went directly towards the first attack wave of the Welsh Army.
The second flank rushed over. The Guards came along the route the infantry took when they came out. There was no smoke and dust along the way, because the infantry had already sprinkled all the water in the kettle on the ground when they passed by.
When the Welsh people heard the roar of horse hooves, everything had already happened.
The pikemen who had been shot to pieces by bows and arrows had no time to react, and were shot down by the overwhelming crossbow arrows of the Guards. After killing the pikemen on the right wing, the Guards put down their crossbows and fired their weapons.
The scabbard, the saber flashed for a moment, and the hoofbeats sounded like thunder - looking at this posture, the Sibian people are ready to fight!
The shield wall was formed by the Wells Army, which consisted of less than 20,000 men. In order to maintain continuity on a frontal front more than two miles long, the formation could not be too thick. When the Sibia Guards attacked, they
Less than a hundred arms away from the opponent's infantry, the Guards rushed parallel to the right wing and started trampling directly on their weak spots!
As a commander, Glens calmly judged the situation, knowing that after the Guards' attack, his own shield wall could no longer be maintained, and the threat from the opponent's Guards no longer existed. This increase in combat effectiveness
A reduction was considered fair, so the second wave of troops was ordered to continue advancing and prepare for a decisive infantry battle.
"Kill!" The rapidly advancing Sibia Guards set off a huge wave on the front, and the front line composed of the shield wall itself was under impact. At this time, the flanks were attacked, and it was impossible to turn around and deploy defenses, while the second line of troops
He could only watch helplessly as the shield wall collapsed section by section, and no matter how elite the assault infantry was, they were nothing more than withered grass under the impact of the heavily armored war horses. They were either knocked flying or trampled into pulp.
The Guards were advancing, blood spread along the line of attack, and screams were heard beside the Broken Wave Creek. Countless ambitious Welsh soldiers were martyred for their country before they could reach the enemy infantry, and their souls were scattered.
A group of Welsh skirmishers gathered in front of the Guards. In the end, the spear phalanx defending on the left wing finally turned its face, but the spears were pierced through the bodies of their comrades in an instant... The distance was more than two miles, and the horses were very fast.
The impact was almost over, and Wells' entire first attack wave no longer existed.
In the Welsh military headquarters, all officers from top to bottom witnessed this scene, and many people burst into tears. However, everyone knew that in order to win an overall victory, partial sacrifices were inevitable, and the Sibia Guards spared no effort.
, they turned into clawless beasts after one charge. Lieutenant General Glens's choice was not wrong.
After the Guards crossed the entire battlefield like a raging wave, Korn Keda issued an attack order, and the 30,000 infantry line sent out waves of shouts and moved forward at the same time. Soon, Wells's first attack wave was
Clean up the remaining skirmishers inside - now that the Welsh shield wall has fallen, let the Welsh take a look at the shield wall of the Sibia army!
After the three-mile-long attack was completed, the situation of the Sibia Guards was worrying. Thousands of soldiers suffered casualties, and the horses were even worse. Although most of the soldiers dismounted immediately, half of the horses fell to the ground because the armor carried by the horses was too heavy.
, most of them will never get up again... The Guards soldiers, who regarded their horses as their lives, lined up in infantry formation with tears in their eyes, preparing to go into battle again.
Now, everyone has no cavalry and can fight a serious infantry battle!
The steel front formed by the infantry of both sides approached, got closer, and finally collided with each other without any tricks amidst the shouts of killing. Sbia's war drums and Wells's bugle sounded in unison. The infantry with a long history, in the war,
The king finally has sex face to face!
There were 30,000 people on both sides of the iron and copper walls. As soon as they came into contact, blood splattered everywhere. The Welsh army had rich experience and tenacious fighting spirit, while the Siby army relied on the magic blessing on its body and the desperate support of the axe-throwers behind.
There was no sign of defeat at all. The two sides were going back and forth, fighting inextricably on the front. Every soldier was a part of the front. He had no control over whether he was advancing or retreating. Some soldiers had clearly died.
, but the lifeless body is still trapped between the two armies and cannot fall!
The killing sound was going on on the ground, and Sibia's winged troops were not to be left alone. They flew over the battlefield to harass Wells' reserves, but their numbers were too small to cause a devastating blow.
In a very short period of time, the Sbia Guards formed their formation, with one part standing behind the left wing and the other part filling up at both ends of the battle line. Wells was mentally prepared for the investment of thousands of people.
Frontal combat is about overall coordination. The temporary addition of the Guards cannot change the reality that most of the infantry is insufficient. According to the lieutenant general's idea, even with the addition of the Guards, the Sibia infantry will still be there.
They lost a lot of troops within an hour, but things did not develop as the Welsh side imagined. The Sibyans always had to be cunning when fighting, and this battle showed the strange side of the Sibyans from this moment on.
Subtle, slow, and irreversible unfolding.
In the middle of the battle line, there was a conspicuous flag that was twice as high as other military flags. After the Sibiya infantry changed their drum beats, the entire battle line was... rotating around this flag.
In other words, Sibia's left wing was advancing, but his right wing was retreating. While advancing and retreating, the entire front was kept roughly straight. The Guards who joined behind were relying on their own
The strong combat effectiveness became the battle position mark of the entire Sibia army. The infantry shouted deafening chants and followed the movement of the entire formation.
This windmill movement is relatively slow, but it gradually shows its effect. The combat doctrine of the Welsh Army is that the entire front is consistent, with the left, center, and right advancing and retreating at the same time. When the enemy's right wing retreats, the Welsh right wing must
They want to advance, but on the other side, their left wing is constantly being pressed back by Sibia. Because Sibia's army has a complete shield wall, it has a certain advantage in advancing and retreating. On the left, the Welsh army has already been forced to retreat due to the complete shield wall.
Crowding caused chaos, and in the huge noise, the officers could not shout the command "steady as a mountain, retreat like a thread". Even if they shouted, they might not even be able to hear clearly.
Cohen Keda knows that the means of killing enemies cannot be trained in a short period of time, but simple forward and retreat are different. This is the result of his assault training, the acrobatics of the Sibiya army - the windmill tactics of Broken Wave Creek.
The previous preemptive assault of the Guards was to create prerequisites for the implementation of this tactic. The Welsh Army no longer had a large-scale backup force, so it had to accompany the Speyer Army to play with the windmill. Everyone would spin in circles to see who would get dizzy first.
Once a certain party's formation is disrupted, soldiers will be trampled to death in large numbers.
All this situation was seen by Lieutenant General Glenns. After the huge windmill rotated almost ten degrees, he decided to let the troops get rid of this situation.
