Chapter 1514
The roaring unicorn spitted a thick white mist forward. The thick leather gave it natural unbreakable armor, and the extremely hard and thick sharp horns at the top of its head, which made it look like an ancient giant beast. When thousands of unicorns ran and brought about the power, even any unprepared army could not withstand this impact.
Beckrey's eyes were like torches. The armored beasts were getting faster and faster and had reached their peak. The armored beasts were much slower than heavy cavalry, but the impact of each armored beast was much stronger than that of heavy cavalry. Heavy infantry could bravely face the armored cavalry, but for this kind of impact that cannot be resisted by humans, they collapsed from the bottom of their hearts.
Five thousand unicorns hit the Pooles' south flank like a huge hammer without any covertness. When Schiller focused his all-out effort to break eastward, he never expected that the southern wing defense line, which he thought was quite thick, would be so easily broken through by the opponent.
More than 60,000 cavalrymen following the unicorn were crazily tearing the cracks that were broken through by the armored beasts like mercury, constantly using their advantage that they had been shaken by the armored beasts to expand the cracks on the Poole infantry defense line, and continuously devouring the infantry formations that had been shaking by the surging Tang army along the edge of the cracks.
The main general of Poole, Duke, who was responsible for the defense line of the south wing, found that he could no longer control the army in his hands. In fact, the impact force brought by the armored beast is not unsolvable. The speed of the armored beast is average, and the endurance of this fast running is quite limited. Although the infantry cannot withstand the charge of this kind of impact formation composed of giants, gritting his teeth and struggling to resist to create opportunities for the subsequent troops is not uncompromising. At this time, Duke could only regret why he did not think carefully. The Tang Dynasty dared to concentrate heavy cavalry to launch an offensive against Poole.
Cui Wenxiu's first wave of offensive teared open the defense line of the Pooles' southern wing, but Duke was not the young man who had just debuted. While using the supervision team to force several phalanxes to drag the Tang Dynasty's heavy cavalry forces to break through, Duke also quietly ordered the remaining infantry to retreat. The Jimagou should be the best way to deal with these heavy cavalry forces. At this time, Duke was also glad that he was still wise at that time. According to the usual practice, the Jimagou dug won a chance to breathe for the entire southern wing defense line.
However, Cui Wenxiu's offensive has never been a single attack wave. When the heavy cavalry took the lead, the subsequent infantry rangers had already followed closely. Snake bites must be bitten by a snake that would not die. This is a taboo in military strategists. Since the enemy defense line in the southern wing has been torn open and the morale of the Puer people has greatly hit the Puer people, then they must not relax. The Third Legion surpassed the heavy cavalry without giving the Puer army much time to breathe. The Puer South Wing Defense Group, which had just woken up from the nightmare of the Tang army armored beasts and heavy cavalry, fell into the charge of the Third Legion, known as one of the three main forces of the Tang army.
The third legion's offensive slapped the crumbling defense line of the southern wing of the Puer army like a tide. Long Zixing even personally stood on the front line, commanding attack waves based on a division to attack the Puer army's line that had not yet recovered. Jumagou was a fatal obstacle to the cavalry, but was useless to the infantry. While launching a charge, the logistics troops quickly caught up and filled the Jimagou, preparing for the next wave of heavy cavalry charges.
However, Long Zixing did not intend to leave this achievement to his cavalry colleagues. After suffering heavy blows from heavy cavalry and armored beasts, the morale of the Puernan Wing Cluster suffered a heavy blow. Although Duke's full encouragement and encouragement, the third legion of the Tang army blocked the Puer's army into a difficult and bloody battle again. The soldiers of the Third Legion, who came with an unparalleled momentum, had already been relieved and held their breath for a long time. As their commander said, this may be the battle for the survival of the empire, or the last battle after the establishment of the empire. After this battle, it may be difficult for the Third Legion to encounter such exciting errands. It must firmly grasp this opportunity and add a more dazzling luster to the honor of the Third Legion.
If the sea tide spreads, the First Division of the Third Legion took the lead in breaking through the eastern defense line. The First Division led by Yan Tong was the first to break through the military discipline and firm will. Faced with the desperate struggle of the Poole army, he did not give the other party any chance. As soon as he broke through, he invested all his troops without hesitation to tear the gap. Although the Poole army, whose fighting spirit was declining, did not collapse, steadily retreated and retreated steadily. Long Zixing, who noticed this opportunity, naturally would not give up this good opportunity. The breakthrough of the Third Legion quickly affected the entire southern wing defense line. The collapse of the front line after section, made Duke completely unable to control the situation. In addition to letting his most elite 30,000 people retreat in turn to build a defense line to defend so that the entire southern wing defense line would not collapse in the entire line, he could only inform his colleagues on the Western Front and warn Shiller to request assistance.
Schiller never expected that the arc defense line that he thought was quite strong was broken through by his opponent in one day. He formed an arc formation like a bent bow, implemented tactical defense on the three sides of the north and south, and concentrated his troops to attack and break through the eastern front. The Duoduans had already contacted him, and the two sides had also determined the strategy to open up the central corridor to achieve rendezvous. The task in front of him was how to remove the roadblocking stone of the Second Legion of the Tang Army. He had already concentrated all the iron armored cavalry forces in his hands to implement this.
For a strategy, I believe that the same is true for the Dutun people. Even if the Second Tang Army Corps in front of him is a piece of refined steel, he will completely refine it. The failure of the southern line has sounded an ominous alarm for Schiller. Without much consideration, Schiller issued a way to let the defensive forces of the Western and Northern lines move closer to the middle, and at the same time ordered the Western line to reinforce the Southern line to prevent the Tang army from breaking into the inside line. Now, except for breaking eastward and joining the Dutun people, there is almost no other way to save the side that is in danger.
Of course, Schiller also knew that it was not easy for the Tang army to break through the southern line. As long as the troops on the western and northern lines shrink, although their wielding leeway is smaller, the resistance that erupts will be stronger. The Puer army that embraces a group can react more effectively. The more than 300,000 troops cannot be eaten by the Tang army in one bite. The purpose of the Tang army is to choose a suitable location to implement breakthroughs, cause chaos on its own side, and implement the swallowing strategy in the chaos, and annihilate the chaos in its own chaotic army. Time, the key issue now is time. It takes time to defeat the Tang army's Second Corps on the opposite side, and needs an arc defense system to persist until it defeats the Tang army and completes its rendezvous. In that case, the coalition army that embraces a group will have more than 500,000 troops. If the Tang army wants to chew it, it must be careful to break its own stomach.
In fact, Cui Wenxiu also knew that the dumpling-making battle he implemented was a bit risky from a strategic perspective. With more than 300,000 Puer troops, he only had a slight advantage in controlling the troops. His only killer weapon was the concentrated breakthrough of heavy cavalry forces and the use of the Puer army's mentality of meeting the Dodun people to the east. Otherwise, once this battle entered a tug-of-war, he would have to face the boundary counterattack of the Dodun people who came back to his senses.
Duke decisively abandoned tens of thousands of Poole infantry who were broken up and adopted a step-by-step retreat strategy to let Long Zixing realize that the generals in the Poole army were not weak. The Third Legion hoped to use the chaos to break into the enemy's internal situation and disrupt the war situation in one fell swoop. Fortunately, the number of Poole troops defeated by taking advantage of the momentum was also quite possible, and the military strength of the Poole South Line, which was only 30,000, became quite thin. If it were not for the reinforcements of the Poole South Line that responded quickly enough to shrink the troops and stabilize the position, the Third Legion could use its superior forces and the heavy cavalry that were pressing up to completely eat up the entire Poole South Line in one fell swoop.
The front line that had been fighting for a day finally calmed down. Both the Puer army and the Tang army needed some time to rest and adjust after repeated fierce battles. At the same time, the main generals of both sides also needed to consider how to implement the next strategy.
Cui Wenxiu, who was frowning, stood at the gate of the camp with his hands on his back. In addition to running like flying reconnaissance cavalry and the infantry formation that was returning to the camp, the heavy cavalry team also began to gather together. Rangers swam in front of the enemy camp to harass the enemy's camp to prevent the enemy from digging the horse-resisting trenches at night. The armored beasts trampled the front positions in a mess. As people shouted and neighed, the armored beasts were also reassembling to prepare for tomorrow's combat arrangements.
"Once, it seems that we underestimated the tenacity of the Poole people in this battle. We originally wanted to use the southern line to break through and break into the Poole inside line in one fell swoop. Hehe, I didn't expect that Duke had some vision and decision, and actually cut tens of thousands of scattered soldiers in one breath. Alas, this old guy Schiller reacted quickly enough, and the reinforcements on the Western Front also came so fast. It seems that God would not help us." Cui Wenxiu sighed. In this way, the situation was a bit out of the initial expectations. The enemy's retreated quickly on the Western Front. If the troops on the northern line were also so fast, then he would have to face a too big dumpling. It would be difficult to swallow it in one bite, especially when time was tight.
