I ran out after Carsente, and I was shocked after just one look. The scene in front of me made me think I was dreaming. The world~~ Ugh! This world is really too cruel. Although it is impossible to show mercy on the battlefield, it is impossible to be so cruel to those enemy soldiers who have no resistance or have surrendered, right? The people of the Kastark Empire are not so violent to those prisoners, right
"The First and Third Divisions, get on board, let's go and fetch them back!" Carson's sudden roar woke me up from my daze.
Yes! Now is not the time to be in a daze. The two legions mentioned by Kevin are only 30,000 to 50,000 people in front of me, not even enough for one legion. Behind them are a large number of troops from the Senke Federation. Judging from the brown bear on their flag, this should be the Brown Bear Legion of the Senke Federation.
In the two legions that were retreating, no, they were fleeing for their lives. From time to time, people fell behind due to exhaustion or were hit by arrows or javelins from the enemy in the rear. The bear-like Senke federal soldiers stabbed those wounded soldiers on the spot without hesitation, regardless of whether they had abandoned their weapons or knelt down to beg for mercy. Cruelty, this was the only feeling in my heart.
In addition to the Brown Bear Legion chasing them, the light cavalry troops of the Black Wolf Legion that had been repelled previously were also gathering their troops to prepare for a decisive attack. No wonder Carsent was so excited.
Before Carsen led his troops to leave the barracks, Carsen handed Aix over to me and asked him to help me defend the barracks. My mind went blank for a moment. I was to manage the barracks? How could I manage it? With so few soldiers (four battalions of infantry and an understaffed division, a total of only more than 10,000 people), I couldn't manage any aspect of it!
"Sir, you let the heavy cavalry troops attack the camp of the Black Wolf Cavalry Regiment directly, but retreat immediately after breaking through. In addition, you should lead the Third Division to guide the retreat of our two corps immediately. Otherwise, I am afraid that the defeated troops will break through our camp without the enemy attacking our camp. ... And the distance between our army and the enemy is so close. As long as the defeated troops rush into our camp, they can also break into the camp before we can form an effective defense. Then everything will be over for us." Before Carsent attacked, I immediately pulled his reins. Without the defensive power of the camp, we have no ability to challenge the other side. In addition, the defeated troops have no combat effectiveness at all. Even their negativity and panic will greatly reduce the morale of the army that has just recovered a little.
"Okay, let's do it. Everything is up to you. Kevin, do as he says immediately. I will take your division to guide them!" Without much hesitation, Carson gave the order immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, the three parties took active action.
Kevin led more than 6,000 heavy cavalrymen and rushed directly to the enemy's unfinished military camp. Although there was still a division and thousands of wounded soldiers inside, 6,000 heavy cavalrymen were enough to crush them. When the time came, would the three divisions of the Black Wolf Corps who went to fight the fallen dogs watch their companions being wiped out? Besieging Wei to save Zhao was the only good strategy to delay the Black Wolf Corps now. Letting one light cavalry division and half a heavy cavalry division fight against three light cavalry divisions directly, the best result would be a loss for both sides.
The light cavalry division led by Carsent sent a part of its troops to lead the defeated troops, while the rest began to harass and attack the Brown Bear Legion (the Third Division was the division that was converted into archers in the previous battle).
In the camp, under my frantic command, Axe worked hard to open three passages several meters wide in front and behind the camp. The retreating soldiers will enter the camp in two groups. The defeated soldiers who are far away from the pursuers will enter the camp directly from the front, and those who are closer to the Brown Bear Legion will enter from the flank. It is on the edge of a cliff, and even if it is attacked by the enemy, the pressure it can receive will definitely be relatively low. In other words, if the situation is really critical, then these people can only be abandoned.
With the rumbling sound of the heavy cavalry, the Black Wolf Cavalry, which was approaching the defeated army of the Kastark Empire, finally discovered the problem. Although Hegma knew that the troops hiding in the tortoise shells would definitely come to his aid, he never thought that the other side would abandon him and send the most elite heavy cavalry to attack his rear.
In his heart, he always believed that Carsent would gather cavalry to cover the retreat of their defeated army. Then, with the assistance of the Brown Bear Legion, he could destroy the elite of the Kastark Empire in one fell swoop. As for those defeated infantrymen, those soldiers who had lost their courage and sense of honor, they were not even in Hegma's eyes.
After a lot of internal struggle, Hegma not only gave up the plan to attack the drowning dog, but also gave up the idea of splitting up the troops. There is still a light cavalry division in that turtle shell! If they come out to wade into the muddy water, then rashly splitting up the troops will be like shooting oneself in the foot.
Seeing my plan come to fruition, I was extremely delighted while observing from the arrow tower of the military camp. I immediately ordered Axe to move the horses away from the designated positions and then lay bamboo rafts on the trench.
Another person who saw this scene, Carson, also stepped up his actions. After contacting the commander of the defeated army, he used the mobility of the light cavalry to forcibly split the entire long dragon-like fleeing team into two. The more than 30,000 defeated soldiers in front were led to the front of the position, while those closer to the Brown Bear Legion were led to the flank of the position by the light cavalry.
From my sight, the Brown Bear Army was indeed a bit confused as I expected, and it became a question of who to chase. But soon, they immediately divided 20,000 of the more than 60,000 people to continue chasing the defeated army led by the light cavalry, and the main force immediately headed to the front of the military camp. However, due to the previous harassment by the light cavalry, and the fact that the defeated army in front was far away from the enemy, coupled with the hesitation of the enemy commander at that moment, the distance between the two sides was immediately widened a lot.
"Retreat, retreat, let all the cavalry withdraw, no matter whether they have completed their mission or not, all withdraw..." Seeing that the most important goal had been achieved, I immediately issued an order to withdraw all the cavalry. This would not only strengthen the defense before the enemy attacked the camp, but also prevent the cavalry from rushing in with the defeated troops, causing congestion and chaos. More importantly, the speed of the heavy cavalry was not as fast as that of the light cavalry. If they were caught by the Black Wolf Legion, they would regret it. (To be continued)
