Chapter 927: Chase all the way
Chapter 927 Chase all the way
Dolle was a natural military strategist, and after the Germanic cavalry had been stationed on Lake Baikal for many days without being disturbed, he had already begun to suspect it, and what happened on the Angara River confirmed his judgment. The Angara River www.biquge.info is known as the wings of the Siberian city, but as long as there are enough troops, the Orientals in the Siberian city will try their best to garrison it, and now Suggs has broken through the Angara River defense line, and the Orientals have not reacted at all, which is really incredible. As time passed, the uneasiness in Dorler's heart became stronger and stronger, and he felt as if he had unknowingly jumped into a big pit, and the Oriental people did not lack masters of layout.
"We must withdraw, we are not familiar with the vicinity of Lake Baikal, and if the Easterners really gather enough troops and horses to outflank us from places that we are not familiar with, I am afraid we will not be comfortable. Pottenne, you go to the southern camp in person, and let the few thousand men there evacuate westward first, and join forces with the men and horses of Suggs" Before Dorle could finish his words, a sturdy rider rode through the edge of the forest, a soldier of the avant-garde battalion belonging to the Holy Cross Cavalry Regiment. The avant-garde battalion was the best of the Knights of the Holy Cross, and seeing this cavalryman's panicked expression, it was obvious that something big had happened, "Lord Dolle... Oh no, a large number of Oriental cavalry was found in the east, and a lot of Oriental infantry was pressed up in the north. ”
Hearing this, Dorler was not surprised at all, but he admired it in his heart. Although I don't know how the Orientals deceived the scouts and circled their soldiers and horses to the east, the technique was absolutely exquisite, and Dolle admired the courage of the other party even more. It is impossible for these Oriental soldiers to all come from Siberian cities, and if they want to form an absolute advantage over the Germanic cavalry directly from the east and north, the garrison of Siberian cities alone is definitely not enough, and the Orientals must have drawn troops and horses from somewhere. This is the case on the battlefield, there are gains and losses, a surprise attack on Lake Baikal, a knife into the heart of the Easterners, and when it achieves a huge effect, it also puts itself in a dangerous situation. Dolle knew his situation very well, more than 20,000 Germanic warriors went deep into Lake Baikal, too far from the Taimel Plateau, once trapped, it was really difficult to fly with wings, so the retreat must be timely.
Beneath the mountains east of Lake Baikal, a huge cavalry rushed forward, shining armor shining with silver light, and they lined up in a neat formation, and their momentum was extraordinary. The cavalry of the ancient town appeared on the land of Siberia for the first time, facing the most elite cavalry of the Germans, the Knights of the Holy Cross, and the speed of the cavalry of the ancient town was also beyond Dorle's expectations. Dolle's face was a little ugly, he didn't expect the cavalry of the Orientals to come so quickly, and in desperation, he could only order Berthorn not to go to the south to give the order, "Quickly organize and block the attack of the Orientals first, and definitely not let them break through the camp." ”
Dolle didn't want to be beaten and had no power to fight back, so he had to quickly block the attack of the Orientals, otherwise once the big camp was destroyed and the two big camps in the north and south were divided, the dozen or so thousand troops would be completely chaotic, and it would be difficult to organize a fierce counterattack. In that case, the retreat will also turn into a rout. Without saying a word, Pottenen led a few commanders towards the eastern steppes of Lake Baikal. In the face of the menacing cavalry of the ancient town, the battle-hardened Knights of the Holy Cross were far calmer than those ordinary Germanic cavalry, and before the order came, they had already spontaneously lined up to prepare to hedge, in contrast, although the several thousand troops stationed in the southern battalion did not face the frontal charge of the ancient town cavalry, they were much more panicked than those Holy Cross cavalry who were at the forefront. The Germanic people are compact but not flustered, they are strict and old-fashioned, and they may lack flexibility, but when these characters are put on the battlefield, they will create a disciplined and powerful army.
Shi Wengong, as a pioneer general, has experienced an unknown number of battle formations, every time he attacked before, the opponent was all flustered, only this time, these golden retrievers who were not tall were able to line up meticulously in the face of such great pressure. Gradually, Shi Wengong also put away his contempt, and stopped at a distance of 100 zhang, "Tie the chain of horses, put away the knife, and change the heavy gun in the front row." ”
The cavalry of the ancient town suddenly stopped, but it made the Germanic people who were assembling a little confused, watching the cavalry of the ancient town quickly chain chains, the Germans did not feel the slightest threat, because they had never seen the chain horses, let alone the power of the chain of chains. When the chain horse fights against the cavalry, it will make the distance between the horses as much as possible, so as to maximize the power of the iron cable, and the heavy cavalry gun in the hand will also play a huge role when charging into battle. The sun was intoxicated by the calm Baikal Lake, and the iron cables and silver armor were integrated, and there was no high roar, but what emanated from the cavalry of the ancient town was a strong and cold belief in victory. The long-term war has already turned the ancient town cavalry into a group of battlefield deaths. Shi Wengong dragged Fang Tian's halberd, his eyes revealing a strong battle intent, "Kill the past, first break up the barbarian formation." ”
The horses neighed, the iron hooves rolled, and the ancient town cavalry charged again, this time more neatly and violently. When the ancient town cavalry pounced again, the Germanic people who had assembled felt a clear difference, that kind of infinite killing intent, stimulated everyone's mind, but these Germanic cavalry did not flinch and rushed forward. Two powerful cavalry, the East and the West have long been war machines, one side of them is silver, the other side is full of black clouds, like two torrents that burst the embankment, and finally collided together. The cavalry of the ancient town did not have the heavy armor of the Iron Float, let alone the burly and terrifying posture of the Iron Float Cavalry, but the Knights of the Holy Cross suffered a heavier blow than the Iron Float. The two sides soon met together, the long knife of the Germanic cavalry slashed, and a Germanic man clenched the long knife and slashed it fiercely, but the Oriental on the opposite side was unmoved, holding a black cavalry spear in his hand, holding a strong arm crook, rushing straight over, and immediately cutting the Oriental on the opposite side, these ridiculous Orientals, with no mask on their helmets, silver soft armor all over their bodies, and no thick heavy armor, in this case, they dared to rush over in a loose formation, which was simply looking for death. However, the Germanic man was too early to be happy, and saw that the long knife was cut at the other man's neck, but there was a sharp pain in his chest, and then his body was light, and when he looked down again, he saw that the horse had left his master and ran forward alone with great sorrow and bravery. It turned out that the heavy cavalry gun was too long, and it didn't need too many flashy things at all, relying on the length, taking the lead, the cavalry clashed, a mistake, plus the speed, as long as it was resisted by the cavalry gun, it was directly poked by the head of the spear and was drowsy, and there was a sharp pain, in this case, it was good not to be poked off the horse.
The Germans had never dealt with the cavalry of the ancient town, and they had no temper at all when they were beaten by this simple and effective way of fighting heavy cavalry. In the first collision, many Germans were directly poked by the heavy cavalry. If it's just these, it's not terrible, the most terrible thing is the iron ropes that are scorned by the Germanic warriors, and it is only after the real face that the Germans know how terrible these iron ropes are. Sharp barbs, hard iron cables, as long as they swept over, those poor horses were either tripped or their legs were broken, the iron ropes swept, and a burst of people turned on their backs, and those poor Germanic warriors could not stand up before they were killed by the rangers who came after them wielding cavalry swords. The cavalry of the ancient town did not have the ferocity and stability of Tiefutu, but they were more sharp and full of lethality.
In the eastern steppes of Lake Baikal, the cavalry of the ancient town won a great victory in the first expedition to Siberia. Of course, there was a reason for everything, and in the end, it was because the Germanic people were so unfamiliar with the cavalry of the ancient town that they even took the chain of horses as a joke. In the eyes of the Germans, the cavalry was all about speed and flexibility, and the horses were connected with iron locks. But after the first round, the Germans realized how ignorant they were, and in front of these silvery Eastern cavalry, the Germanic warriors were beaten and had no power to fight back.
Standing on a high place, looking at the battlefield from afar, Dolle felt a chill in his heart, the first line of resistance organized by Berthorn was broken so quickly, and the German cavalry, which had been invincible before, was actually defeated. Bai Tengen escaped breathlessly, and in only half an hour, Bai Tengen enjoyed a trip from heaven to hell, and his life was saved, but he was injured a lot, and even the war horse he rode before was thrown on the battlefield because of the broken leg of the horse, "Lord Dorle, what you said is right, we have to retreat quickly, the cavalry of the Easterners is too strange, we can't resist it at all." ”
If Dolle ordered to immediately disperse the formation at this time, use the cruising method to contain it outside, and add a frontal blockade, it would definitely be able to curb the impact momentum of the ancient town cavalry to the greatest extent. It's a pity that Dolle encountered the chain horse for the first time, where did he want to get this, he gritted his teeth, and the corners of his mouth almost dripped blood, "Immediately retreat to the west, although the easterners are powerful, but the iron chain is linked, the speed is not as good as ours, take advantage of the infantry in the north did not copy over, leave quickly, and must not fall in love." ”
In fact, Dorle didn't say these words, even if he didn't say it at this time, no one would be stupid to go to the frontal battle again, in order to block the impact of the cavalry in the ancient town, Dolle ordered the camp to be burned. The style of the Germanic camp is very strange, the distance between the military tents is very close, and there is not much exquisiteness, but it is much more convenient when setting fire, and the fire is connected together, and the cavalry of the ancient town is successfully blocked outside, so that Shi Wengong can only order to go around. It was this time that gave the Germanic people the opportunity to flee for their lives. Due to the decisive retreat of Dolle, coupled with the burning of the camp, the plan of letting the ancient town cavalry drag the opponent was completely frustrated.
In order to completely annihilate the barbarian army near Lake Baikal, Zhao Yougong made a bloody investment, abandoned Phoenix, and transferred the defenders there to Lake Baikal, the purpose of which was to use the strong infantry advantage to form an encirclement posture against the barbarian army near Lake Baikal. However, no one expected that the Germanic people, who had always been proud and fanatical, would run faster than rabbits. The eastern steppes of Lake Baikal are fighting fiercely, and Zhao Yougong has been watching from afar, and it can be said that the reaction of the Germans is definitely a strong opponent. Dolle may not know Zhao Yougong, but Zhao Yougong has already seen Dolle in his eyes, "Has the person leading the troops on the other side figured it out?" ”
Recently, the Intelligence Service and the scouts have been trying to find out about the Barbarian Army, but for various reasons, progress has been very slow. Tang Miao put down the clairvoyant mirror, and there was not much confidence on his face, "Your Highness, judging from age and stature, this person should be a young man from the Frederick family. is so young, commanding, and high-status, it seems that he is the only one. ”
"This Germanic man is not simple, he must find out his specific identity, and he will be our fierce rival in the future" Although Zhao Yougong was a little dissatisfied, he did not blame Tang Miao anymore, after all, there is no need for future generations in this era, just the language barrier, and the difference in appearance, it is a big problem to find out the news. Tang Miao felt a little pressured, quietly retreated, and directly found Shi Wengong, "General Shi, please catch a few more jobs." ”
With a large number of infantry pressing from the north, the Germanic defenses built on Lake Baikal also collapsed completely, and the Knights of the Holy Cross, which had been crisscrossing Siberia for two months, suffered its first defeat since the Eastern Crusade. If the Germanic cavalry hadn't taken the **** in their eyes before, then now, they have felt the danger. Dolle did not have the slightest attachment to Lake Baikal, even though he knew the importance of Baikal, under the leadership of Dolle, the Germanic cavalry retreated very resolutely, they followed the road opened before, until they fled to the west, near the Eastern Sayan Ridge, Dolle and Sugers's troops and horses were together. However, the attack of the cavalry of the ancient town followed, and Dolle looked at the sky, eager to open his mouth and scold his mother, are these Orientals tireless? Lake Baikal has already been taken back, and it is still chasing so desperately, I don't know how many Germanic warriors died under the knife of the Orientals along the way.
Dolle's army could only continue to flee westward, but fortunately, all the cavalry under his command were not slower than the cavalry of the ancient town. By the time it was time for the sky to get completely dark, Dolle finally found the north of the West Sayan Ridge, that is, near the city of Nannuko. After the expeditionary force recaptured the East Sayan Ridge and the Angara River, it stopped continuing the pursuit, so that Dorle could be considered to have a chance to breathe. In the castle of Nannuco, which had not yet been built, Dorle squinted his eyes and rested, and Sugus made a tactical report in place of the seriously injured Bertten, and as he listened, Dorle's hands trembled.
In just one day, nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and this battle was too bad. (To be continued.) )
