Time passed quietly while Schiller was hesitating. When the news brought back by the scouts confirmed that the encirclement formed by the four legions of the Tang Army had been formed and a large number of heavy cavalry appeared, Schiller realized that he seemed to have missed the last moment. With a good opportunity to break out, the Thirteenth Army of the Tang Dynasty had begun to build fortifications in the west, making it clear that they would cut off their move to the west.
Schiller was a little anxious, but not to the point of being at a loss. The news about the Dotons finally came through at this time. The Dodons did not encounter much obstruction, except for some rangers who harassed the Dodons. Except for this, everything else seemed like the Tang army had given up the attack on the Dodon people. At this time, Schiller had to carefully consider the fate of the more than 300,000 people he led.
There are various signs that the Tang Army wants to concentrate its forces to attack itself. However, the Tang Army has only one heavy cavalry division organized into divisions. There is intelligence that the Tang Army is also training a second heavy cavalry division, but there has never been a clear explanation. According to the intelligence, Schiller assumed the worst case scenario, that is, the Tang Army had trained into two heavy cavalry divisions, which had posed a certain threat to his heavy infantry. With more than 40,000 heavy cavalry, for infantry Said, this is like a giant ax, enough to cut through any thick shield. If you don't deal with it carefully, you may fall on it.
The Tang Army's Thirteenth Army's combat effectiveness should be the weakest among the several legions, but now the Tang Army's Thirteenth Army has deliberately kept a certain distance from its forces on the west. It is obvious that the purpose is to use this time to speed up the construction of fortifications. schedule. Schiller ultimately rejected the idea of attacking westward to break through. After all, the Tang Army's rangers had been circling around. Even if he broke through the defense line of the Tang Army's Thirteenth Army, the Tang Army's rangers would still be defeated. Coming at the tail end, even if the more than 300,000 people of my own could escape, I'm afraid the losses would not be small, so they moved closer to the east. As long as the Duodun people press westward according to their own plans, can't more than 100,000 heavy cavalry beat the Tang Army's Second Army into powder
When Schiller made up his mind, the entire Poole Army began to move. The army began to gather like the central army, and then quickly turned eastward. The east flank infantry group began to penetrate into the Second Army's position, with one wave after another. Even before the protagonist's heavy cavalry appeared, they spread out in front of the Second Army of the Tang Dynasty.
Cui Wenxiu was truly relieved when he learned that Poole's army was moving closer to the center and began to gather heavy troops to attack the Second Army's position. In fact, only two divisions of the Thirteenth Army have been transported to the Western Front by the transport battalion until now. However, the two divisions have begun to build fortifications with great fanfare, pretending to fight to the end with the Puer people. If at this time Poole's army marched westward. The strength of the two divisions of the Thirteenth Army is not even enough to fill the gap in the teeth of the Puer people. But now that the Puer army is gathering in the center and dispatching heavy troops to attack the east, it proves that the commander of the Puer army has made up his mind to join the Doton people. , this is exactly what Cui Wenxiu wants to achieve.
The Second Corps had spent several days desperately building fortifications, not just to the west. They also need to defend to the east. After the Dodon people have obtained the intention of Poole's army, they will definitely cooperate with the crazy move to the west. These two groups are like two huge stone mills sandwiching the Second Army. Whether the second legion can withstand the crushing of the two large groups of Liberians. That depends on the performance of Helianbo's Second Army.
The armored cavalry of the Poole Army had not yet entered the battle, but the heavy infantry of both sides first engaged in the Daguantun area on the southeastern border of Yunzhong. The 30,000 Poole heavy cavalry relied on their strength advantage to first attack the Fourth Division of the Second Corps. Launch an offensive on the regiment's defensive position. Even Helianbo did not expect that the Puer people were leading the position not with their armored cavalry but with their heavy infantry. The heavy infantry moved slowly and was originally a defense-based unit, but this time the eastern part of the Puer cluster was heavily The people of Poole have always looked down upon the Tang Army's heavy cavalry. They were especially unconvinced by the Gaoyue Infantry who had been praised as amazing. They wanted to find an opportunity to try to see if the Tang Army's heavy infantry was in vain. This time it was undoubtedly the case. Best chance.
Two equally prestigious and arrogant heavy infantry collided together in such a strange way. The various methods prepared by the Tang army's infantry for Poole's heavy cavalry were of almost no use. Whether it was tripping horse ropes or Juma ditch, they were wiped out in front of Poole's heavy infantry, who were also infantry. The two heavy infantry almost launched an unprecedented fierce battle in front of the Tang army's defensive position. Without any unnecessary nonsense, who They all understand their respective strengths and weaknesses, the same military type, the same equipment, and the same strong and strong fighting spirit. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The battle to encircle and annihilate the Poole Army officially kicked off at this moment.
The two turbulent waves collided together without any tricks, and immediately bloomed into gorgeous blood-red flowers. As the running speed gradually increased, the spear in his hand suddenly fell flat like a rain forest, like a huge hedgehog roaring and rushing towards another hedgehog with its whole body covered.
Helianbo barely reacted when he realized that it was Poole's heavy infantry who started the war in the first place. The expected armored cavalry did not come, but the heavy infantry came. The hard preparations were in vain. Fortunately, The Second Corps did not fight alone. The Rangers quickly came up with reinforcements from the flanks. Although they could not break through the defense line of the heavy infantry, the sharp bow and arrow advantages of the Rangers still immediately defeated Poole's heavy infantry, which was not rigorous in the line. Not a small loss.
Poole's light cavalry also reacted very quickly. When the Tang Dynasty Rangers appeared, their light cavalry also rushed to the battlefield quickly. Light cavalry faced the rangers, and heavy infantry faced heavy infantry. The first disarmament battle immediately evolved. It became an out-and-out melee with no winner or loser.
The first contact battle also sounded a wake-up call to Helianbo. It was obviously unrealistic to think that heavy infantry could block any offensive. When the enemy realized that the cavalry troops could not break through or it was difficult to break through the infantry defense line, , then they will find ways to break through from other aspects.
The Fire Gun Corps is undoubtedly the best weapon to deal with the slow-moving heavy infantry, but the Fire Gun Corps has less than 10,000 people in total. Although it was equipped with He Lianbo, He Lianbo knew that this army could not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Once the mysterious veil of the new weapon is lifted, its power and effect will be greatly limited. The use of this army must be on the most critical blade.
The attack of Poole's heavy infantry officially announced the beginning of the Dumpling Making War. From this time on, the Tang army will do its best to prevent Poole's army from breaking through the encirclement and joining the Doton army. At the same time, it must also concentrate its forces to fight a cruel and arduous battle. The encirclement and suppression battle relies on the Third Army, three heavy cavalry divisions and armored beast troops. Will the Tang Army be able to destroy the Poole Army before they break through the defense line, or will the Poole Army be able to defeat them before the Datang Army destroys them? The Dodon army unites, which will determine the outcome of the entire battle.
When the Poole heavy infantry once again saw the dark armored beast troops appearing on the horizon, a desperate panic filled the Poole army camp. This is not the first time they have faced an armored beast force. The last time they faced an armored beast force in the Battle of Liujiatun, the result was the annihilation of the entire army. And history is always so surprisingly consistent. The Poole Army once again faced a charge of armored beasts. The iron hooves against the armored beast of the Tang Dynasty.
The spikes pierced the thick skin of the armored beast's buttocks, and the stinging pain made the armored beast start to get excited. The scarlet eyes flashed with a violent color, and even the sharp horns on the top of its head seemed to be shining with signs of madness. Riding on the horn The riders on the beast body work hard to control their bodies. Although they have been training on the unicorn body for many years, unicorns are no more excited than other animals, but once they are excited, they are not easy to control. This characteristic makes the riders have to be extra careful. Once thrown down by the unicorn, only death awaits them. The unicorn's iron hooves are more deadly than any weapon.
The thick and bulky spear was firmly mounted on the unicorn's head. In addition to being able to adjust the angle, it took a lot of effort for the soldiers to move it around. This is why the unicorn troop formation is better than One of the reasons why the heavy cavalry was dispersed more loosely, otherwise a little inattention to the rear troops would damage the front troops.
The Poole Army gradually calmed down after a period of turmoil and despair. In this case, if you turned around and fled, you would end up with your comrades behind you. The infantry soldiers knew this better than anyone else. Instead of being trampled to death by armored beasts like that, It is better to fight vigorously and use your own flesh and blood to buy a glimmer of hope for your comrades. Instead of dying in vain, it is better to fight to the death. Even if you die, you can always exchange for a little glory of burning yourself as a soldier. This is the basic awareness of being a soldier.
The sharp anti-horse rifles were quickly inserted diagonally into the hard and cold soil of the Yunzhong Plain by the Pool soldiers with their teeth gritted. They pointed at the sky at an angle of 30 degrees and were as dense as a forest. The soldiers inserted the heavy scull shields into the ground and shrank their bodies. Behind the oar shield, they hope to use this defensive weapon that is quite effective against heavy cavalry to counter the charge of the armored beast. Although they also know that this is in vain. The power of the armored beast cannot be resisted by this weapon. Their only hope You can use the thick and long halberd gun to cause damage to the soldiers on the armored beast, but this will not change their fate of death. At most, it will be an unfair battle in which everyone will die.
