392. Fatal Mistake
The White Ice Ridge is a mountainous terrain in Rosebu, because there is a strange flower with great ornamental value and transparent crystal all over the body, so it is called the White Ice Ridge. And this terrain is also the only way through the Hodgdi Manor, as long as it can successfully stifle here, then Cazes. Prince Hodgdy's base camp would not be threatened head-on.
Strategically, the Ice Ridge is extremely important.
Of course, if there is a choice, Cazes would like to avoid using the White Ice Ridge as the choice of the most difficult battlefield, but in this war, which is almost characterized as a counterattack war, the main choice of the battlefield is not on Cazes's side. On the other hand, William, who has the right to elect the battlefield master, has been slowly invading and advancing with an unhurried offensive, until he reaches the White Ice Ridge, forcing Cazes to have no choice at all, because if he does not open a defensive line here, then once he passes through the White Ice Ridge, he will completely lose the huge advantage of geographical advantage.
So, it was no surprise that the two sides were fighting each other here.
And the intensity and hardship of the war also far exceeded the expectations of Cazes and Hawsen.
In their plan, it should be their own three legions to achieve joint vertical and horizontal tactics, completely blocking Sean's three remnants, and even they fantasize that their own army is definitely far superior to the enemy's army in terms of tacit understanding because they often train and practice together, after all, the current soldiers of Cecilia's Guards are all soldiers of the former Dabiang Fourth Legion, and they will definitely not be able to perfectly match the tactics with the Thunder Lion and the Iron Wings.
However, fantasy is only fantasy after all.
It's true that the Thunder Lion and the Iron Wings can't cooperate and strike tactically with the Cecilia Guard, but what does Sean's army have to fight for?
From the moment the war broke out, the Thunder Lion launched a brave charge under the leadership of Alfred, and then easily forced back a Cazeth. Prince Hodgdy's legions, pulling them away from the battlefield. Despite the constant waving of the enemy's snare drums and flags. However, it is impossible for this legion to get rid of the entanglement of the Thunder Lion smoothly, and if they insist on getting rid of the entanglement and retreating, then they must suffer enough battle damage to make the legion commander and commander flesh pain.
So in this case, the other two corps immediately went out to try to rescue by a siege on three sides.
This tactic is not complicated and difficult for them.
But is it possible for Cecilia Guards and Iron Wings to watch these two legions fight as they want?
The answer is clearly no.
So from the moment the war began, the rhythm of the battlefield was not overshadowed by the Cazes. Hodgdi was in control, but it fell into William's hands. More precisely, it fell into the grip of the Thunder Lion: unless Alfred gave up entanglement with his warring legions, so that the rhythm of the battlefield would return to a state of confrontation, otherwise the rhythm of the battlefield would always be firmly controlled by Alfred.
But will Alfred give up this huge war advantage? He is no longer the leader of the little mercenary group he used to be. is a real army commander, although he has fought hard to win so many wars before, but no matter what, he has also grown, especially in terms of military strategy.
As a result, Alfred's Thunder Lion was fought more intensely and bloodblily than the other two.
The battle loss ratio between the two sides remained almost 1 to 2.
The Lion of Thunder is one, the enemy is two.
The bloody battle continued on the scale of 10,000 people. In the end, it will definitely not be the Lion of Thunder that will collapse or even be wiped out.
Kachi's face was unprecedentedly difficult to look at.
and the Thunder Lion are shopping. It happened to be Kutch's Fire Dragon Legion.
In Cazes. Under Prince Hodgdy. Kuchi is also a quasi-strong man, and the limitation to his breakthrough strength is that Kuchi does not have enough time to hone his martial arts and fighting spirit, and he devotes almost all his time to military training. So in terms of personal strength alone, he is in Cazes. Prince Hodgdi's command is really not high, at most it is slightly stronger than Alfred, but his dragon army is Cazes. Prince Hodgday's three regular legions are the strongest and most ferocious.
If you have to say the fighting style. Then it has a similar resemblance to Alfred's Thunder Lion.
Both of these legions are known for their extremely wild and domineering fighting styles and reckless damage, and compared to the Thunder Lion, which is a new legion that has never been heard of before, the Fire Dragon Legion has always enjoyed a good reputation in the kingdom of Dabion, and many people think that it is only necessary to give this legion another year or two. Bound to be Cazes. Prince Hodgdy's second strong army to receive the title of Independence.
And all along, Kachi has always believed that as long as he does not fight with the Mountain Lion Legion in the mountains and forests, the victory or defeat of his Fire Dragon Legion and the Mountain Lion Legion will be five or five. Of course, even in the face of Dabiang's Fourth Legion, his Fire Dragon Legion may not be able to defeat the opponent with the same strength, but it does not mean that it will be defeated. So when he saw that Alfred's Thunder Lion was the first to charge, Cage, who was eager to prove that Horsen's opinion was wrong, did not hesitate to take the lead.
It was only at this moment that he finally realized that it was not luck that the Thunder Lion was able to annihilate the Mountain Lion Legion.
In terms of bloodiness and willpower, his Fire Dragon Legion was still inferior to the other party after all.
If Shaun knew this idea of the commander of the Fire Dragon Legion at this moment, he would definitely let out a disdainful sneer or even mockery.
Comparing the Fire Dragon Legion and the Thunder Lion to willpower and bloodiness is simply looking for troubles for yourself.
You must know that Sean's army is basically composed of slaves, and the locally recruited soldiers cannot make up for the huge losses in the war, and the majority of the slaves are the Northland barbarians. But whether it is the Northland barbarians or other slaves, when Sean gives them hope to live and a beautiful vision for the future, the experience they encountered during their slavery life will make their will extremely strong, so in this naked bloody battle, if they want to retreat, unless the banner they believe in their hearts falls.
As for the bloody.
Will the Northland barbarians and orcs lack such things?
Compared to the Fire Dragon Legion, which has become increasingly arrogant and arrogant in recent years, the Thunder Lion does have a huge advantage over its opponents in terms of spirit. And in terms of equipment superiority. Sean has always given the highest priority to satisfying the three legions of the Thunder Lion, the Iron Wing, and the Cecilia Guard, so the Fire Dragon Legion also does not have the slightest advantage in terms of materials.
The confrontation between the two sides had just begun, and the Thunder Lion and the Fire Dragon Legion were completely white-hot, and in just one hour, the Fire Dragon Legion had lost more than 3,000 people, and the Thunder Lion had more than 1,300 people killed. This statistic, for the other two clans in the clashes, is almost twice as much.
"My lord, we can't go on like this!" A bloodied soldier rushed to Kutch's side and yelled after slaying a minotaur. "The battle damage is too great, if we continue to kill like this, we will withdraw from this battle before the Scarlet Knights arrive on the battlefield."
Kutch wiped a handful of blood from his face, his eyes turning red. The thick straight blade in his hand had already been chopped a little over. He turned his head sideways and glanced at his lieutenant, and the killing intent on his body was obviously stronger: "Then send a signal!" Let Lord Thaddeus enter the battlefield immediately! Then join forces with us to wipe out this damn mongrel legion! ”
While saying this. Kuchi slashed another minotaur with a swing of his sword.
The straight blade in Katch's hand was clearly specially crafted. Because it is two palms wide on the blade surface alone, the front end is thick and long, and the touch end is narrow, and there is no gauntlet, it is just a simple handle. The whole straight blade is about one meter three or four long, and it is like a piece of iron in his hand and wielding it in Kuchi's hand, which is like an attack with his strength. Even if he is fully armed, he will easily tear a hole, not to mention that the attack position of Kachi's attack is basically a key point like the neck - this key point is simply impossible to protect for orcs like the Minotaur and the Bear.
So, Kachi's attacks can always easily cut a huge gap. In some cases, it is even possible to directly cut off the heads of the minotaur and the bear.
The war has entered an even more frantic situation of bloody killing.
At this time, it is already difficult for anyone to keep their senses.
And under the leadership of Kachi, who looked like a mad demon, the Fire Dragon Legion, which had been suppressed, finally woke up with a trace of blood and began to counterpressure the Thunder Lion.
"Rush it all!" Kuchi turned around and let out a roar, "Don't be afraid of these orc mongrels! ”
A howling wind slammed into Katch.
In this flash of lightning, Kachi suddenly raised his knife to block.
A huge impact shook his arm slightly numb, but when the fighting qi in his body rolled on his arm, this paralyzing feeling immediately disappeared, and he himself just took a step back with his right foot, and he had already judged from the force of the impact that the other party's strength was not necessarily much greater than him. But before Kuch could launch a counterattack, a roaring explosion accompanied by a strong wind directly knocked him away, knocking over four or five of his own people in a row, and turning over on the ground, before finally stopping the trend of rolling back.
At this moment, Kachi glanced at the person who attacked him out of the corner of his eye, and it was Alfred!
Holding the flame lion fangs, wearing a heavy armor, Alfred's whole person was like a god of war, and the flame lion fangs in his hand were lucky enough to activate a special attack effect in the attack just now, and directly blew Kuchi out of the air, although it did not let it suffer too much substantial damage, but in this battlefield environment, flying an enemy commander is also a very effective means of attack.
Because the Fire Dragon Legion, which had gained a slight foothold and launched a wave of small-scale counterattacks due to Kuchi's roar just now, fell into a low ebb of morale immediately after Kuchi was blown away, and was once again repelled by the Thunder Lion.
And by this time, Alfred's eyes had been completely fixed on Katchi.
The next moment, Alfred strode towards Kachi like a beast, and roared loudly, "Thunder Lion guys, rush with me!" ”
Although "rush me" and "rush with me" are common sentences when charging and fighting, in fact, these two sentences have very different effects. In a tailwind situation, "rush me" can usually boost morale and make the soldiers under his command sacrifice their lives to attack; However, if it is in a relatively headwind war situation like the present, the effect is naturally far less than Alfred's "follow me".
What's more, Alfred has the upper hand from start to finish.
It was only at this time that the earth suddenly made a roaring sound.
The three armies fighting on the battlefield all slowed down the pace of the battle at this time, and many people even looked at the source of the shaking sound uneasily.
Soon, a cavalry unit dressed in red, blue, and black light armor appeared on the flank edge of the battlefield.
However, those with sharp eyes had already seen the banner held on this cavalry unit at this time.
It was a triangular flag with a red base and a simple scribbled depiction of a long snake.
This banner, in the kingdom of Dabion, has always belonged exclusively to Cazes. Prince Hodgdy.
And the identity of this cavalry regiment is naturally about to come out.
Crimson Knights!
The only order of knights in the Kingdom of Dabion.
Although it is only a thousand people, if it is used well, its combat effectiveness can at least be comparable to a heavy cavalry of 10,000 people. In particular, the most rare thing is that the current leader of the Scarlet Knights, Thaddeus, is a real high-ranking golden peak powerhouse, and the Scarlet Knights commanded by him have always been Cazes. Prince Hodgdy's sharpest sword.
Originally, according to Huo Sen's idea, it should have been Cazes, including the Fire Dragon Legion. Prince Hodgdy's three corps and Sean's three vanguard armies fought in battle. According to the normal rules of engagement, the first day is usually a tentative rhythm of warfare, and if there is a first wave of large-scale fierce battles, it will usually be in the afternoon of the first day. Therefore, Huo Sen was originally preparing to fight to the death on the morning of the third day, when both sides were fighting bloody and tempered, so that Thaddeus led the Scarlet Knights to cut into the battlefield from the rear and catch Sean off guard.
But no one expected that less than two hours after the outbreak of this war, the Fire Dragon Legion and the Thunder Lion had already fought so hard that both sides had almost reached the point of disbandment. Under such circumstances, how dare Horsen continue to let this war get out of control, so without Katch asking for help, he had already ordered Thaddeus to enter the battlefield immediately, and as soon as he entered the battlefield, he immediately launched a charge towards Alfred's Thunder Lion.
The purpose is naturally to regain the dominance of the battlefield, and at least it can't let this advantage remain in the hands of Sean's side.
It has to be said that this series of tactical guidelines of Huo Sen is extremely correct and targeted.
It's just a pity that Hawsen's idea was wrong from the start.
He shouldn't have thought of a blitzkrieg with William in the first place.
Because when it comes to the essence of Blitzkrieg, there is someone on this battlefield who can compare with Aldolf. Was Hitler better? (To be continued......)
