Chapple's expression is very serious now, and the situation in front of him is even more serious than his expression.
About half an hour before 33, Gusha's army suddenly increased its offensive.
Chapple's reaction could not be described as unpleasant, and he immediately understood it. He estimated that the news of Dane's surprise attack on Malone had already reached Gusha's ears. That guy must know by now that the strength of the White Wolf Fort army in front of him is not right.
Being so blinded, one can imagine how desperate Gusha would be, and it is understandable that he would suddenly start a violent attack.
It cannot be said that Gusha is too stupid, it can only be said that he does not have a deep understanding of the military power of White Wolf Fort.
He got the news that the military strength of the White Wolf Castle was only 3,000 regular troops. Then, he saw that the White Wolf Castle Legion in front of his army was indeed about the same in number, so he didn't think about it. The army will choose the tactics of dividing troops.
Now, he knew why, according to the rumors, the elf troops under Dane didn't show up—he wasn't here at all!
In fact, Chapple felt very lucky to be able to cover the opponent until now. In fact, after the start of this battle plan, he felt that he might be seen through by the opponent soon. After all, although he recruited the 1,000 soldiers of the garrison corps stationed in Rotten Wolf Town to make up the number, so that the number problem is not big, but the gap between the garrison army and the elite soldiers is indeed a bit big. Light infantry regiments are inferior in comparison.
This is a flaw, a flaw that is easily seen through by the other party. But fortunately, Gusha didn't have a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of Dane's army. In Gusha's view, it is quite normal for a legion that has expanded rapidly in three months to have the combat effectiveness of a garrison legion.
In any case, on Chapple's side, he had long planned to be seen through by the enemy, and of course he was prepared for this.
When Gusha stepped up his offensive, Chapple immediately took corresponding countermeasures.
The flags change and the rhythm of the drums also changes. On the field, after the officers of the White Wolf Fort noticed the change, they also led the soldiers directly under them and began to act according to the predetermined plan.
The first to move were the white wolf guards of the two brigades. Before, the white wolf guards, who were still adopting a balanced strategy and had both offense and defense, began to completely tighten towards the center under the orders of the officers, and the entire formation became very tight.
This is a very tight defensive formation, even a defense that has given up counterattacks.
If it was a normal fight, Chapple would not let the White Wolf Guards do this. After all, such a blindly defending formation cannot win the war.
But for this war, Chapple decisively chose such a strategic plan.
After the White Wolf Guards chose to tighten their hands, the soldiers of the garrison regiment that originally surrounded the White Wolf Guards also began to shrink with the White Wolf Guards as the core. It's just that their combat effectiveness is far behind that of the White Wolf Guards, so that after Gusha's army began to step up their offensive, it was difficult for them to complete such strategic moves under pressure.
But after all, it is a trend to strengthen defense. Especially when Chapple saw that the situation was unstable, he directly held the two light infantry brigades that had been in his hands all afternoon except for the beginning of shooting arrows. They were all thrown into the battlefield.
The light infantry brigade of White Wolf Castle can be regarded as a regular army. Although there is not a small gap compared to the core elite like the White Wolf Guard, but no matter how you say it, they are stronger than the soldiers of the garrison army. Even if the combat power is slightly weaker than that of the infantry of the Confused City, at least they have the ability to fight.
At the same time, the white wolf cavalry of the brigade that had been cruising around the periphery of the battlefield for half an afternoon and hadn't been engaged in the battle, also moved closer to the battlefield under Chapple's order, and made an attack that might directly attack Gusha at any time. The situation of the troops and the main army.
The effect of these adjustments made by Chapple is quite obvious. After the enemy stepped up their offensive, although the front line seemed a little unstable at the beginning, when the white wolf heavy infantry completed its contraction and the 600 light soldiers After the infantry brigade was also pushed onto the battlefield, this unstable situation was greatly eased.
Moreover, the ready-to-go wolf cavalry is a threat. This forced Gusha on the opposite side to allocate some people to take precautions. After all, if you don't care about it at all, the destructive power that the three hundred wolf riders can cause is a bit big.
Of course, Chapple knew that with the power he now possessed, it was impossible to defeat Gusha in a frontal battle. Although the number is similar, except for the White Wolf Guards, their strength is much stronger.
In fact, even at the moment, the stable situation achieved after adopting a comprehensive defensive state is only temporary. From Chapple's point of view, of course he can see that as long as the opponent's offensive has just started, it can be further strengthened and become more violent. As for the means he can take, except for using wolf cavalry, there is no other way.
And as long as the wolf rider moves, without the last force that can pose a threat to the Tiedinggang Army, the entire battle, it can be said that one's own side is about to face complete defeat.
Chapple looked up at the sky, the afterglow of the setting sun had already set, and the wasteland, which had been covered for a whole day under the khaki color, had already entered the cold night. Although it's not completely dark yet, but within ten minutes at most, the night will be completely enveloped.
He didn't know whether the enemy would slow down their offensive after dark to make the battle easier, or they would step up and continue their onslaught. But he doesn't care either, what he cares more is, when can Dane come
After the White Wolf Fort Corps and the Iron Spike Hill Corps had been fighting for a whole afternoon, the scene finally began to become more intense and intense. In the past twenty minutes, the number of soldiers killed and injured on both sides has almost caught up with the whole afternoon.
From another aspect, it can also be seen how flat the battle in the afternoon was, except for the artillery bombardment and the warlock casting spells at the beginning.
Gusha's army was under the tight drums, and the offensive wave after wave became more ferocious. Until the night fell completely, Gusha's troops did not intend to slow down their strength at all.
At the beginning, the defense line of the White Wolf Fort Corps, relying on the White Wolf Guards as the core, showed signs of being unable to support it now!
