Chapter 318 The Situation of the "Xia Feng" Offensive Is Reversed!
In this alien world where gunpowder has not even been invented yet, the only way for infantry to contend with the powerful cavalry and impact is to form a military formation.
No matter how good the cavalry commander is, he cannot defeat the infantry who have formed a military formation.
If the cavalry is used to forcefully charge the infantry who have formed a military formation, then I am afraid that after all the cavalry under their command are dead, they will not be able to successfully shake the infantry's military formation.
This is also one of the important reasons why the tactic of "first sending infantry to attack the enemy, disrupting the enemy's formation, and then sending cavalry to attack" is so popular and so popular among so many people.
When the enemy's formation is in chaos, it's time for the cavalry to attack!
Allen has been waiting since the beginning of the war.
Waiting for the adjutant to command the infantry to disrupt the defensive formation of Luo Lin's army, so as to create the most suitable opportunity for the cavalry to attack!
At the beginning of the war, the adjutant did a good job indeed.
Under his command, coupled with the brave fighting of Allen's 3,000 armored warriors who had painstakingly trained them, the battle was indeed overwhelming at the beginning, killing the soldiers of Luo Lin's army all the way back.
The defensive formation, which was originally as tight as a giant rock, was gradually torn apart into "gaps" and "gaps".
However, although Allen expected that it would not always be so smooth, Allen never expected that Luo Lin's army would regroup so quickly!
Luo Lin's army, which had been retreating after being killed, slowly stopped its decline and entered into a stalemate with the infantry of their West Route Army.
Moreover, there are gradually signs of pushing back!
Although he didn't understand what happened to Luo Linjun now, so that he could regroup and stop the decline so quickly, but no matter what the reason was, Allen was too lazy to care about it. Anyway, as long as he knew that Luo Linjun had stopped the decline, and began to gradually push back. That’s it!
Although under the fierce attack of the infantry led by the armored warriors, the defensive formation of Luo Lin's army was no longer as strict as before, but for Allen - this was not enough! This is not the time for the best cavalry to attack!
However, although Allen wanted to wait a little longer for Luo Lin's defense formation to become more chaotic, the reality was very cruel.
The current battle situation told Allen very ruthlessly: the infantry has no way to further destroy the Luo Lin Army's military formation!
Not only is it impossible to further destroy the Luo Lin Army's military formation, but as time goes by, the Luo Lin Army may slowly push back! The damage to the military formation that was finally caused will slowly be restored!
So, now is the time for the best cavalry to launch an assault!
There is no other way but to launch an assault while Luo Lin's army's defensive formation has not yet fully recovered.
Therefore, Allen decided to bet everything on this final blow!
Bet on this final cavalry charge!
Use cavalry to attack, use brute force, and cooperate with the infantry to completely destroy Luo Lin's military formation!
After Allen shouted "All the troops attack", he knocked the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch immediately carried Allen forward like an arrow from the string.
After Allen made this shout and charged forward, the 3,500 cavalrymen behind Allen immediately skillfully drove their horses and followed closely behind Allen.
After Allen led the 3,500 cavalry on the right wing to launch an assault, the left wing cavalry commanders who had been observing the situation on the right wing immediately issued a "charge order" after seeing Allen finally attack and led the 3,000 cavalry on the left wing. , in conjunction with the cavalry led by Allen on the right, launched an assault on the Luolin Army's formation in front.
The cavalry on the left and right wings launched a pincer-shaped offensive towards Luo Lin's army's formation. The cavalry on both wings were like the sharp claws of a giant crab, viciously pinning towards Luo Lin's army's formation!
…
"Tsk...damn..."
He personally visited the front line and successfully directed the soldiers to regroup.
After stopping the decline, before Leo had time to be happy, the situation he least wanted to see happened.
——Then the cavalry unit of the Britannia Army launched an assault!
After successfully commanding the soldiers just now and turning the battle into a stalemate, Leo guessed that Allen might realize that the infantry could not further destroy their defensive formation, so he decisively took advantage of them while they were still there. There was no time to restore the formation and launch a cavalry assault.
As soon as Leo made this guess, he heard the rumble of thunder and saw the Britannia cavalry attacking from two directions in front!
These two Britannian Army cavalry formed a pincer offensive and rushed towards their military formation from two directions.
Upon seeing these two Britannian Army cavalry teams carrying out a pincer attack, Leo immediately subconsciously ordered at the top of his voice:
"The enemy cavalry is attacking! The spearmen form a spear formation!!"
At this time, Leo demonstrated the qualities of a good commander, making prompt decisions and issuing orders very quickly.
However, although Leo's reaction speed was very fast, it was a pity that Luo Lin's army had not yet recovered from the chaos and could not quickly form a gun formation.
…
The distance between the two armies is not large. This distance between the two armies is just the optimal distance for the war horses to launch a charge!
Allen quickly led the right-wing cavalry into the Luo Lin army's formation!
Until Allen led the cavalry behind him and rushed into Luo Lin's army, Luo Lin's army did not have time to form a spear formation to resist the cavalry, and only erected a few spears.
These few spears pose no threat to Allen and the others.
Just after Allen led the right-wing cavalry to break into the Luolin Army's formation, the left-wing cavalry also broke into the Luolin Army's formation almost at the same time.
After the cavalry teams on both wings broke into the Luo Lin Army's formation, they immediately started a massacre and plowed two bloody roads out.
Allen is the best at commanding cavalry, and he is also the best at launching attacks with cavalry in person.
Allen waved his ax gun, in front of the horse, on the side of the horse... In short, all the soldiers of the Rollin Army who entered Allen's attack range were thrown away or chopped down by Allen.
The infantry who did not have time to form a military formation were attacked by the cavalry, and there were often only two endings - being hacked or stabbed to death by the cavalry on horseback, or being hit to death by high-speed running horses and then trampled to pieces.
The cavalry on both wings plowed two bloody roads filled with blood and broken flesh in Luo Lin's army's formation, and continued to attack the depth of Luo Lin's army's formation non-stop, attacking the depth of Luo Lin's army's defensive formation.
Thanks to the fierce assault and destruction of these two wings of cavalry, Luo Lin's army, which had finally stopped its decline, became chaotic again.
Allen's adjutant, who was in charge of commanding the infantry, saw this scene, his eyes immediately lit up, he pulled out his knight's sword and shouted:
"Friends! Come on! Now Luo Lin's army has become chaotic again!! It's the best time to launch the attack again!!"
"Kill all the Luo Lin troops in front of us!! End the battle before noon!! Steal their food for lunch!!! Otherwise we will all be hungry at noon!!!"
The adjutant's words made most of the infantrymen's eyes start to turn red, and their morale, which had been somewhat weakened, increased again.
The benefit of Allen burning all the food was reflected at this moment - leaving the soldiers with no way out.
If Luo Lin's army is not defeated in this battle and their food is not taken away, then they will have nothing to eat!
Therefore, inspired by the adjutant's words, the morale and fighting will of the infantrymen of the Western Route Army surged again.
——Some soldiers who have a deep obsession with eating have even stronger morale and fighting will now than when the war first started!
The infantrymen of the West Route Army, whose morale and fighting will had been restored again, waved their weapons and launched another fierce attack on the Luo Lin Army in front of them, which had once again become chaotic.
At this time, both the cavalry and the infantry in the West Route Army can be said to have soaring morale and high fighting spirit.
The cavalry and infantry teams coordinated with each other and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks against Luo Lin's army.
Under the fierce offensive of the West Route Army, Luo Lin's army became increasingly chaotic.
Leo's voice was hoarse from shouting, and Denis didn't know how many retreating soldiers he killed, but they still couldn't stop the chaos and collapse of Luo Lin's army. The two of them could only look at the army in despair as it gradually approached the edge of collapse.
Luo Lin's army's military formation has gradually shown a one-sided massacre.
Allen lives up to his nickname of "Cyborg."
His attitude of taking the lead and charging bravely greatly inspired all the cavalry behind him.
Therefore, inspired by Allen, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry on the right far exceeded that of the cavalry on the left.
Allen led the right-wing cavalry and was about to penetrate the 70,000 Luo Lin army! Killed in front of Denis who was supervising the battle at the rear!
…
Deni held up the sword that was still dripping with blood, looking at the battlefield in front of him that had become a mess with a frosty face.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that now the Allen Army has an absolute advantage!
I don’t know what Allen has done to raise the morale of the entire army to such an extent. He actually succeeded in defeating the attack arranged by him and Leo despite being at a numerical disadvantage. Defense array!
Denis didn't want to admit it, but that was the fact - today, he and Leo lost!
Although it was not a disastrous defeat or a great defeat, just a simple defeat, it was still a defeat.
Allen actually succeeded in breaking through Leo and I's obstruction...the delayed battle against the Western Route Army...failed...
When he thought of this, Deni couldn't help but grit his teeth and felt unwilling in his heart.
"Deni!"
——At this moment, Denis suddenly heard the voice of his good partner.
Denis looked over and found Leo galloping towards his location.
There was some blood and dust on Leo's body. It seemed that he had suffered a lot when he returned from the front line to the back.
"Deni, retreat."
After Leo came back, he said this to Denis in a deep voice.
"Deni, you should have seen the current situation clearly. The morale of the Britannia army is unprecedentedly high. We can no longer stop them. There is no way to integrate the chaotic army. We Already defeated.”
"The most important thing we should do now is to retreat quickly before the casualties increase further."
"The morale and fighting will of Allen's army are too high now. We should avoid his edge first, avoid Allen as much as possible, do not fight with him, retreat all the way, and then write the book to Barr and let him lead the main force. Come for reinforcements.”
"After we join forces with Barr's main army, the unusually high morale of Allen's army should have dropped by then. We will then restart the decisive battle with Allen!"
Leo explained his current battle plan in the simplest possible language.
After listening to Leo's words quietly, Denis nodded gently, and then said:
"We are indeed good friends and good partners. I thought of working together. I think so too."
"Leo, I'm going to organize the soldiers to retreat. You go and do something."
"What's the matter?" Leo frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Burn all our military rations!" Denis, whose eyes flashed with cold light, said in a cold tone.
