When the infantry camp behind the Poole people fell into chaos, Poole's heavy cavalry, which attacked first, also suffered a painful journey of destruction.
The cunning and vicious Xijiang people actually used catapults and repeating crossbows in positional operations, which was unexpected by the Puer people. The impact of the two long-range weapons was not only the casualties in the number of troops, but more importantly, the impact on the troops. The morale was dampened, overwhelming boulders fell from the sky, and even the cavalrymen and horses who were advancing at full speed were knocked to the ground for no reason, and the comrades who were following closely did not even have time to react before they collided with each other. Such consequences is catastrophic. A series of cavalry collided together like this, and with the sharp and thick arrows, the crossbows could easily pierce the bodies of the soldiers and horses. Although they were protected by heavy armor, in the face of the attack of such a powerful weapon, the thick armor's The protective effect seems to be somewhat inadequate.
After being baptized by cruel boulders and crossbows, the misfortune of the Poole cavalry was not over. Just when they had time to take a breath, the spear-throwing storm of the Gaoyue javelinmen came again, but they were obviously more experienced in throwing spears to attack the Poole cavalry. After all, this It is the most conventional weapon for dealing with heavy cavalry. The round shield removed from the horse's belly can effectively avoid the frontal impact of the spear, and curling up as much as possible can also minimize the chance of being attacked. Of course, this is only a relative probability, still Quite unfortunate people fell off their horses and died in this round of baptism, but neither of these two rounds of attacks could stop the Poole Cavalry's confidence in completing its mission.
The final competition will still come down to the most common confrontation between spears and shields. The thick iron spears carry the faint wind and thunder, blowing up waves of whirlwind towards the infantry defense line standing against the shields and inserting guns. This is the real beginning of the competition. According to reports, the carbine immediately played a role in blocking thrusts. The forest of spears, which were several meters long, could easily pierce the cavalry that rushed forward. The fragile body could not stop such a huge inertial impact, even if it was wrapped in heavy armor. There is no way to avoid this kind of frontal killing. The body hanging on the head of the gun, the bright red blood flowing down the gun barrel, is dazzling, forming a beautiful scenery.
The efforts of the heavy cavalry were not unrewarded. The heavy and strong iron spears danced with unparalleled momentum. No heavy infantry could resist such a devastating impact with their own bodies. When the iron spears opened and closed, blood and flesh fell. The rotten body mixed with the broken armor and shields formed the main theme on the edge, just like countless sharp spiral arrows, deeply inserted into the thick infantry square formation. As the arrows rotated, they continued to move the people in the square formation. The main trunk is planed and rotated, but every rotation of iron and blood will stir up echoes. New flesh and blood continue to be added in, like a fortress that will never sink, facing difficulties.
The tenacity of the Gaoyue people was fully demonstrated at this moment. Facing the fierce and fierce Poole heavy cavalry, they did not shout, call, or flinch. They only faced the enemy with endless strength. When the tower shield was broken, they used their arm guards. When the buckler broke, he used his body to tenaciously block the surging wave of cavalry step by step. The waves rise thousands of feet, but the wall remains unchanged. Despite the endless frenzy of the Puerian cavalry, the rock-like Western Xinjiang infantry defense line still refused to retreat. When one fell, the next immediately came up. Spears and shields, iron and blood, formed a chain of life and death on the earth. Mixture.
As the deputy division commander of Nanjie Locke's First Army, Shui Zheng had completely forgotten his identity at this time. At this time, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to hold on to this line of defense to the end, surrounded by himself. Brothers and colleagues, in the face of the wild charge of the Puer people, no one backed down, tooth for tooth, blood for blood. This is the spirit of the Gaoyue people.
The solid defense line constructed by the two Gaoyue Infantry Divisions finally bought valuable time for the entire battle. As the two Ranger regiments spread out on both wings, forming an iron wall encirclement, Poole's heavy cavalry, who had never been able to open the situation, supported the front. The battle line was tightly entangled by the rangers rolling in from both sides. After exhausting the last bit of impact, the 60,000 heavy cavalry began to turn into a difficult melee. The rangers' flexible fighting style soon separated the heavy cavalry that had lost its structure. With the attack circle formed by the spear throwers, the heavy cavalry gradually lost their advantage in attack power and fell into fighting on their own. situation.
Compared with the defensive front, the Western Xinjiang offensive line, which had gained an absolute advantage, achieved much more brilliant results. With the addition of light cavalry, they quickly replaced the armored beasts and heavy cavalry as the main force to pursue, encircle and annihilate the disintegrated Puer infantry. The main force, the Pur infantry soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, were like a herd of sheep driven by wolves, running helplessly in all directions. It was not until they encountered the Western Xinjiang infantry defense line that had formed an encirclement that they finally stopped in their dazed steps. Accept the reality of failure and surrender.
Kunbo's luck was really bad. He never expected that the enemy's heavy weapon, the armored unicorn, would have such a huge impact. The defense line he thought was indestructible was like paper in front of the armored beast. In a daze, Before he could react from the shock, he realized that he had completely lost command of the unit. Not only him, but all the officers had lost control of the unit. He and his subordinates were helpless. He looked at the whirlpool-like tide of soldiers that slowly threatened him to retreat backwards. No matter how his own soldiers scolded or even killed them, it was still a drop in the bucket. He could only watch in despair as his command platform moved one by one. The point was swallowed up by the rushing soldiers.
With the collapse of the main infantry camp in the rear, the defeat of the heavy cavalry was inevitable. With the coordination of the rangers, spearmen, and crossbowmen, the heavy infantry changed from defensive to active defense, squeezing the heavy cavalry step by step. Their activity space, the joint strangulation became the most classic scene in the Liujiatun battle. The rangers were often responsible for dividing the fight, the infantry line was responsible for the encirclement, and the gunners and crossbowmen were responsible for the final massacre. This typical battle was played out in countless scenes in the Battle of Liujiatun, until the Poole cavalry raised their hands and surrendered.
The end of the Battle of Liujiatun marked the final stage of the entire northern campaign. After this battle, the 200,000 Poole army had only less than 10,000 light cavalry. Seeing that the situation was not good, they took advantage of the Western Xinjiang Army to break out of the encirclement before the encirclement, and escaped through the clouds. Back home, the remaining nearly 200,000 troops lost nearly 100,000 lives in this battle, and more than 80,000 others became prisoners in the hands of the Western Xinjiang people.
Of course, the Western Xinjiang Army also paid a considerable price in this battle. The defense line composed of five infantry divisions, with the first division of the First Nanjierok Army and the first division of the second army as the main force, withstood the attacks of Poole's cavalry. A huge test, the five infantry divisions caused more than 50,000 combat casualties. In particular, the two heavy infantry divisions responsible for frontal defense suffered losses of more than 60%, while the three light armored infantry divisions that assisted in defense also suffered the same loss. The losses were heavy, especially after the Poole heavy cavalry found it difficult to break through from the front and instead looked for opportunities to break through from the flanks. The light armored infantry division tried its best to withstand the Poole's last ditch effort, and finally encircled and annihilated this Poole armored force. The main force played a key role.
The destruction of Poole's army also sounded the death knell for Kaman's army in Qinghe. The Western Xinjiang Army, which completely annihilated Poole's army, did not have time to rest and quickly moved into the encirclement and annihilation of Qinghe. In view of the fact that the Kaman people in Qinghe City are still tenacious and unyielding, Kamapov still wants to adopt the method of siege but not attack to wear down the will of the Kaman people until the time is completely ripe before engaging in a decisive battle.
Almost at the same time, the two good news of Fanlin's restoration and Yunan's victory were like dropping a huge boulder into a calm lake, causing shocking waves that quickly spread to the surrounding area.
"Mr. Special Envoy, I think it will be difficult for me to satisfy your request." Li Wufeng glanced at the embarrassed Special Envoy Sisluo with some coldness, "I can't understand your country's position. The Kaman people are grabbing food and invading. Finally, I can’t understand why His Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister of your country turned a blind eye to such bad behavior? Could it be that just an apology can make your Heathrow Empire feel at ease? The Heathrow Empire does not seem to be such a peace-loving country. ? Now the Kaman people have invaded the territory of our Tanghe Empire ally, Jerok Principality, and adopted despicable means to seize our Jiayuguan Pass, and even plundered the population of our western Xinjiang. Is this intolerable? What is intolerable? If we let the Kaman people do this If a tyrannical and rogue country acts wantonly, then where is the international justice? Where is the justice?"
"We have signed a joint friendship and peace agreement, and we have the obligation to help each other stabilize the situation in the Eastern Continent. However, the Kaman people are ramping up their troops. I have not seen any substantive performance of your country to express support for us. At this time, it jumped out. Asking us to show mercy, did I hear it wrong, or was my ears hallucinating?"
Wu Feng's somewhat harsh words naturally had a different taste in the ears of Special Envoy Sislo. Not long ago, they almost had a war with the Kaman people. Now the Kaman people are on the verge of collapse and are on the verge of national subjugation, but they themselves are... It sounds a bit funny to plead for the Kaman people on behalf of the empire. No wonder the other party is sarcastic, and even I feel a little embarrassed. However, the survival of the Kaman Empire is directly related to the safety of my country, especially in Western Xinjiang now. When power is at its peak, if you sit back and watch, maybe the fate of the Kaman people will fall on your own country next time.
