With Derguzorf in control of Frank's entire army, he quickly began a strategic realignment that was almost immediately perceived by Bybasbarn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

No wonder Arantran lost at the hands of this man. This was the first reaction of Baibasbarn. The overall strategic structure of the Frankish army has undergone major changes, the original loopholes have been quickly filled, the various departments can attack and retreat, and the huge army seems to have become an efficient machine. Tightly holding on to the strategic points on the occupied territory can not only ensure the current military superiority of the Frankish army, but also solve the problem of feeding the huge army. Unable to find a weakness in the Franks' formation, he realized what a terrible man he was facing.

Nominally, he is the commander of the 370,000 Paz army, and he is even slightly superior to the Frank army in numbers, but in fact, most of the soldiers are recruits who have not yet been on the battlefield, and even the training has not been completed. However, after the previous victory, the Paz soldiers were eager to fight the Franks in a decisive battle. Although the commander-in-chief knew that there was little chance of winning the battle, he had little room to maneuver in the here and now: he could not retreat, because to do so would undermine the morale of the soldiers and at the same time discourage the will of the Paz people to resist, especially the civilian guerrillas who were still fighting the Franks in enemy-occupied territory.

Unable to fight or retreat, the only thing Baibasbahn could do was to hold on to the enemy. If you can maintain non-aggression with the Franks, then you will have more time to complete the training of these recruits, and the chances of victory will be better then than now.

As a result, the two warring sides maintained a relative state of peace for a month-long period. In a sense, this state of affairs is what Baibasbar would most like to see, and it is a pity that Deguzolf did not give Baibasbahn more time.

For Deguzorf, the strange movements of the Paz Army were something he had already noticed, and the main reason why he did not act in time was that he was still dealing with some internal contradictions and strengthening his Knights of the Holy Hammer. After all this was done, there was no reason for Deguzorf to let Baibasbahn continue to go free.

The Franks first made a tentative attack on the right flank of the Passes, but as Dguzolf had predicted, the inexperienced Passes' forces overreacted, and instead the Franks seized on their weaknesses and dealt a severe blow, and after desperate resistance, the Passers suffered heavy losses and finally had to abandon their positions and retreat.

With the success of this tentative attack, Deguzorf launched an all-out assault on the Paz army like a fly in blood, while Baibasbahn was overwhelmed, not because he could not cope with the continuous attacks of the enemy, but because his troops could not keep up with his command. In the end, Basbahn was forced to choose a head-to-head battle with the main force of the Frank army.

The two sides took up positions in the Hodlu Hills. The Frankish army was led by Deguzorff with an elite 75,000 troops, while on the Paz side was an army of 110,000 led by Baibasbar and Biljudas. In absolute numbers, the Paz army had the upper hand, but in order to cope with the full-scale attack of the Frankish army, Baibasbahn threw almost all the regular army into the front line, so the backbone of the 110,000-strong army was pitiful, and Baibasbahn had to lead such an army to engage a powerful enemy.

Neither side acted rashly at the beginning of the Battle of Hodlu Hills, with Basbahn not daring to act lightly knowing how strong he was, while Deguzolf did not act immediately because he was afraid of the near-perfect formation of the Paz army.

The stalemate between the two sides reached near noon, and Deguzorf finally couldn't hold back and began the first wave of attacks.

The attack of the first wave of Frankish cavalry did not make any substantial progress under the strong will of the Paz army, but Deguzorf saw the clue from it - the Paz army was a new recruit!

This is a godsend, and how can Decuzorff let it go so easily? He immediately commanded the entire army to launch a full-scale offensive. Deguzorf's strategy was simple: under the all-out attack of the Frankish army, the inexperienced Paz army would still be unable to react in time, even under the command of Baibasbarn, and once this flaw appeared, it would be the moment of victory for the Frankish army.

Things were just as Deguzorff had predicted, and in the face of the fierce attack of the Frankish army, the Paz army gradually began to be unable to support it. In fact, Baibasbahn's order was given in a very timely manner, but the troops did not have time to react, and in the end, the situation became worse and worse, and finally the middle army of the Paz army made a serious mistake, and a gap was opened in the formation.

It was at this moment that Deguzolf sent his trump card, the Knights of the Holy Hammer. The corps of 6,700 knights struck at the right time, plunging like a steel knife into the gap exposed by the Paz army.

Each member of the Knights of the Holy Hammer is the most powerful knight of each country or liege, and its commanders are even young and valiant princes, whose individual combat effectiveness is comparable to that of ordinary generals, and even the regular army of Paz will not be able to hold back such a powerful group charge, let alone these unskilled recruits. The middle lane of the Paz Army melted as quickly as snow poured on it, and the lives were quickly lost with the collapse of the formation, which can be described as miserable.

If the Knights of the Holy Hammer are allowed to attack like this, it will not be long before Path's mid-lane army will completely collapse, then the Paz army may be broken through from the mid-lane, and both of its wings will be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated.

Despite his reluctance, Baibasbahn decided to temporarily hand over command to the veteran Billudas, and to act as a fire brigade to save the Central Army from the crisis.

At this point, the Battle of Hodlu Hills took a turn for the better.
