"I can hardly hold on anymore." Quincy, standing next to Chapple, made such a judgment? 34
Under the already dark sky, the two of them stood behind, and could only see the blurred outlines of the soldiers fighting in front of them. As the sky grew darker, soldiers gradually raised torches on the battlefield. But compared to the entire huge battlefield, how can a little bit of torch make people see the battle situation clearly
But just such a vague situation is enough for Quincy to judge that his side is completely at a disadvantage—this is because the situation is too obvious.
The soldiers of the 1,000 garrison corps have already suffered a lot of casualties. The specific numbers, due to the poor vision, although the night sky is clear, but after all, it is not comparable to the daytime, and there is no way to clearly count the number of people.
But the tendency of the garrison army to be gradually collapsed was a problem that even the night could not cover up. Not only the garrison regiment, but even the light infantry regiment, which had just been photographed and fought for about ten minutes, showed signs of collapsing along with the soldiers of the garrison regiment.
This annoyed Chapple a little. Low-quality troops like the Garrison Corps are simply too annoying when paired with high-quality troops. Especially on the same battlefield, their collapse will often lead to the collapse of other troops. This chain reaction is the chief culprit of the situation of "defeat like a mountain" in some battles.
And now, the White Wolf Fort Legion is about to face this situation.
The only gratifying thing is that the elite fighters of the White Wolf Guard are still so strong. Although they have been fighting all afternoon, and after the enemy's offensive has become several times more violent, they still defended for half an hour, and the casualties have accumulated not a few, but they still seem to be able to hold their positions. The position of the white wolf guards is also the most stable part of the entire front of one's own army, and it is also the most solid pillar that has not yet defeated the entire army.
But that pillar is also under a lot of pressure now. When the friendly forces around them have fallen into a situation where it is difficult to continue, the support and decomposition pressure that can be provided to them will become very slight. Even if they still rely on their own tenacity to stand at the forefront of the entire battlefield, at most this can only delay the collapse of friendly forces.
And if the troops composed of the garrison army and the light infantry were really defeated, and only the White Wolf Guard was left, how long they would be able to fight alone on this battlefield is a hard question to say.
"What should I do?" As the captain of the first wing, Quincy was a little flustered. He looked at Chapple beside him, but saw that his old boss was also frowning.
Chapple didn't know what to do.
This is also the main reason why Chapple is a character who has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he is not counted as a hero in the system evaluation of Dynasty Heart: commanding power Not enough, at this time when the coach urgently needs to come up with an idea, he just lacks the decisiveness to make a decision.
Now, there are two paths before him: One is to prepare to fight while withdrawing, but this choice is very risky. In the dark night, if the retreat is ordered, who knows if the retreat will be directly defeated by the enemy when the battle is still going on? It is easy to give orders, but if it really becomes a rout, even the gods will not be able to save them.
The other way is to stick to the current situation and hope that Dane can come to support him as soon as possible. But this also has risks. Who knows when the front garrison and light infantry will collapse? Who knows how long the White Wolf Guard can last on the battlefield? What is even more unclear is when Dane will be able to support him? Without addressing these issues, Chapple could not even convince himself to make this choice.
Relatively speaking, no matter what choice he made, the last unused force in his hand—the White Wolf Cavalry Brigade already cruising on the edge of the battlefield was a force that he had to rely on. How this team will be put into use, Chapple has not yet figured it out.
He has now felt how stressful it is to be an independent coach. From being with Morno until later fighting with Dane, he was used to obeying orders, but rarely had the responsibility of being the coach himself. It was not until this time that he realized that he really did not have the talent in this area.
But what is the use of knowing this? Now, he has such a responsibility on his shoulders, and he can't escape even if he wants to.
Just when he hesitated to make up his mind, another change occurred on the battlefield. What Chapple and Quincy had been most worried about had happened—under the constant pressure from the infantry of Lost City, the garrison in the night seemed unable to bear the pressure.
Under the bright moon, Chapple vaguely saw several squads of soldiers from the garrison army, abandoned their positions, and turned around as deserters.
This is an extremely dangerous signal!
This signal, even if Chapple's commanding ability is low, he can see it!
Although there are only a few squads of soldiers currently defeated, it is conceivable that after these soldiers abandon their positions, the chain impact will be very bad. It won't take long, driven by these routs, the follow-up defensive positions will also retreat one after another, from the small squadron to the squadron, and then to the entire brigade... A big rout has already unfolded before our eyes.
"Colonel, shall we withdraw?" Quincy said anxiously from the side.
"It can't be withdrawn!" It seems that Chapple has made a choice, "It can't be withdrawn."
Fortunately, after all, Chapple hasn't gotten home. Before the garrison and light infantry, which accounted for the largest number of troops in the army, had not collapsed, if they had used the power of the wolf cavalry well, they might still have the ability to fight and retreat. The opportunity, but it's gone now. As long as he dared to order the White Wolf Guards to withdraw, there was an almost 90% chance that the White Wolf Guards would be led into the rhythm of the defeat by other troops in the process of defeat.
And if ordered to defend to the death, with the quality of the White Wolf Guards, maybe they can still fight for a while.
Finally, Chapple issued the correct order: "Bang the war drum for me, and let the White Wolf Guards stick to their positions. They must not take half a step back unless the last soldier is in the battle! Quincy, come with me, I will personally lead Lead the white wolf cavalry to charge!"
"Yes!" (To be continued.)
