Section 80 The Great Battle (11)

The Sei Shui River originates from the eastern foot of Jiming Mountain on the southern foot of Pinglu Prefecture. It is named Sei Shui because several large caves in the source area of ​​the mountain are surging like pillars and the water volume is extremely rich. At first it was just a small stream. Later, when leaping out of the Jiming Mountain area, several tributaries of different sizes flow in, and the water volume increased greatly. It went east along the southern part of Pinglu and then flowed into the Fan River, which is an important tributary of the Fan River.

Although the southern area of ​​Pinglu is mainly plains, there are many gullies that divide the entire large plain into many broken small plains. Although it is not as rugged as the northern area of ​​Pinglu, it also has a certain impact on large-scale military operations. In contrast, the arid Jushui River valley this year seems to be very conducive to the advancement of most of the troops. The Kamans chose to advance west along the Jushui River. Due to the dry climate in the Eastern Continent this year, the water flow rate of Jushui River is much smaller than in previous years, even less than one-quarter of the original water volume. Therefore, several broad mud fields are left along the river beaches. In addition, the large wasteland left in the original Heshuo flooding time and space, the terrain is quite flat. After the sun is exposed to the sun and the mud floor is solid, this river area has also become the best route for the army to advance on a large scale.

The Kamans took this and arbitrarily believed that the Northwest Army did not dare to go out of the city to fight when they were at an absolute disadvantage, so they bravely advanced westward, but unexpectedly they collided head-on with the Third Cavalry Division of the Tengger Legion head-on.

The collision between the two cavalry teams of light and heavy quickly split up. Just like a huge wedge, Mao Jin led his division to cut open the two Kaman Wan cavalry teams advancing westward and continued to rush eastward, immediately fighting with the two heavy cavalry teams advancing westward. This heavy cavalry battle was the first time the heavy cavalry of the Northwest Army fought against the Kaman heavy cavalry, which is known as the number one in the East Continent. It is logical that heavy cavalry generally is unlikely to face-to-face hand-to-hand duel, but instead compete with the ability to break through the enemy infantry to compete with their combat power. However, fate is so tricky that the two heavy cavalry broke out a decisive battle between kings and kings under such circumstances.

On one side are the Kaman heavy armored cavalry known as the Iron Army, and on the other side are the newly-rise Northwest Army heavy armored cavalry. The spear against the spear, the iron armor touches the iron armor. The Northwest Army has a slightly advantage in terms of number. In addition, the Kamans obviously did not expect such a battle to break out under this situation, and the third cavalry division inserted into a wedge shape first won a small victory.

The Northwest Cavalry that rushed in frantically did give the Kaman Iron Cavalry a blow, but the Kaman Iron Cavalry, who had been through the battle formation, quickly adjusted its arrangements and regrouped into a regular phalanx to fight fiercely with the Northwest Iron Cavalry who was obstructed by the light cavalry in front. The iron spear flew over and the golden swords crisscrossed. Each collision was only a neat shout, the sound of metal weapons hitting the body, and the dull sound of the body falling to the ground made a heavy mud and the sound of the horse's hooves falling to the ground. It was impossible to tell what it was. The corpse that fell to the ground quickly turned into a ball of meat wrapped in iron armor under the iron hooves.

The Kaman Iron Cavalry, known as the undefeated Iron Army, quickly showed the combat power they had accumulated over hundreds of years. The two iron armored cavalry may not be easy to distinguish the level of the war on their respective battlefields, but this face-to-face showdown can immediately take a look at the differences between the two sides. The Kamans used a hundred years of iron blood to build military discipline and combat power, and the army formed by the Northwest in just a few years was indeed not comparable to the army formed by the Northwest in just a few years. Especially in the heavy cavalry that absolutely emphasizes discipline, the two steel torrents hit and trembled, and even the entire earth trembled. The torrents of the merge began to deform and finally developed into chaos. Although the Northwest Iron Cavalry took the lead in number and even took the lead, the tenacious Kamans gradually reversed the unfavorable situation with their tenacious fighting spirit and gradually occupied the initiative on the battlefield.

The dark iron helmet and beast-shaped protective surface, the overlapping iron leaf armor, the tough and thick horse armor, the sharp and long iron spear or long spear in the strong and powerful hands gusts of wind and thunder. The breathing and neighing of the horse under the crotch seemed to contain this infinite power. The huge inertia acceleration was enough to make an iron cavalry weighing more than a thousand pounds enough to knock a thick wall. Whether in terms of armor or equipment, there was no big difference between the two sides. Only the expressions revealed in the eyes of both sides can see the strange styles of both sides. One side was cold, calm, ruthless and ruthless indifference, as if it had been soaked in the vicissitudes and difficulties of a hundred years. Even if Mount Tai pressed the rivers back, there would not be any change in color. The other side was fanatical and passionate, as if the thousand-year-old lava suddenly burst out, even if there was a copper wall in front of them, it would still collapse.

The continuous sound of metal impact makes people feel like they are in a huge ironworks workshop, deafening, and the roars that erupt from the soldiers' hearts resounded through the sky. No matter how successful or defeated the iron-armored cavalry collision is, it is enough to be recorded in the history of the Eastern Continental War as a classic bloody battle that is rare in a century.

The fierce blood finally decided against Leng Jun. Although the Northwest Iron Cavalry took the lead in the early stage, the powerful Kaman Iron Cavalry quickly reversed the disadvantages with rigorous discipline and orderly tactical adjustments. The battle between the two sides entered the stage of competing for the true strength of the cavalry. The proud Iron Cavalry of the Kamans did not disappoint them. After quickly weakening the team on both wings of the Northwest Iron Cavalry, the Kaman Iron Cavalry quickly divided the Northwest Iron Cavalry into a large piece and a few small pieces, and used a small square formation to launch a charge to encircle and suppress a small group of Northwest Iron Cavalry.

Although the Northwest Iron Cavalry, who lacks to deal with this kind of scene, the gap in tactics, experience and will can not be compensated by courage and blood alone. Fortunately, Mao Jin, as the commander of the third cavalry division, soon discovered this irreversible trend. As a bandit, he is best at evacuating in an unfavorable situation. He cannot let his first heavy cavalry division in the northwest be destroyed by the Kamans, leaving the green mountains and rivers without fear of burning fire. As long as he can escape from the siege, the combat power of the Northwest Iron Cavalry, which has gained wisdom, will definitely reach a new level, not to mention that he has initially completed the planned interception mission.

Although the Kaman Iron Cavalry had the upper hand, they were not able to suppress this powerful armored cavalry. The Northwest Cavalry who broke north quickly tore the Kamans' defense line in the north. Of course, they left behind the bodies of as many as 10,000 people. The Kamans also paid a heavy price to strangle this cavalry. More than 6,000 elite armored cavalry paid their lives in this encounter. In addition to the light cavalry that was caught off guard, the Kamans' losses in numbers could almost keep up with the number of losses of the Northwest Iron Cavalry.

The Northwest Iron Cavalry's counterattack to the east greatly disrupted the Kaman's attack plan. Especially the Northwest Army, which still retains the strength of 10,000 heavy cavalry, broke through to the north, which was equivalent to being inserted into the back of the Kaman's advancing rapidly. This forced the Kaman's southern army to consider that its flanks might face the impact of the Northwest Iron Cavalry at any time. As the commander of the southern line, Earl Gustav could only slow down while sending light cavalry to pursue it, and was also worried about the Northwest Army's quick response ability.

The southern line did not progress very smoothly, and the northern line was the same. If the southern line was a head-on confrontation between the Northwest Army and the Kaman army, the battle situation on the northern line became a hide-and-seek game for old cats. The 30,000 Mot Light Cavalry fully demonstrated the style of the nomadic people as the king of light cavalry. Shortly after the Kaman people's northern line entered Pinglu, the Mot Light Cavalry divided into two groups and took the initiative to attack, avoiding the aggressive Kaman cavalry, and detoured to raid the Kaman infantry cluster that followed the Kaman cavalry's attack. The Kaman infantry's good combat qualities and superior emergency response capabilities helped them a lot, but the nomadic light cavalry still caused them to lose two thousand-person teams, but they seemed helpless in the face of the nomadic cavalry that was coming and going like the wind. While strengthening their defense, their speed had to slow down.

As the commander of the Northern Line Cluster, Hurley, the commander of the Fourth Corps, did not expect that he had just stepped into Pinglu Mansion and would encounter a fierce counterattack from the Northwest Army. The nomadic cavalry's sprinting like wind and fire was undoubtedly revealed in this harassing battle, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, sometimes in front, and sometimes in the back. In the plains in the northeast of Pinglu, this light cavalry has fully demonstrated their characteristics, and the Kaman Light Cavalry also exposed their shortcomings in the duel with his peers. Whether in terms of maneuverability and tactical formation transformation and the natural riding power of horses, the innate change of nomadic cavalry's ability, time-sharing and gathering, the Kaman Light Cavalry's innate ability to gather and gather in time, is beyond the reach of the Kaman Light Cavalry. Often, the nomadic cavalry has been attacked by them, and they can only see these arrogant guys roaring away.

The uninterrupted harassment of the nomadic cavalry not only caused considerable losses to the infantry in the northern line cluster, but also greatly affected the morale of the Kaman infantry. The marching speed of the Kaman infantry was greatly delayed. Hurley could only report the situation to the commander on one side, slow down the marching speed, shorten the distance between the front and rear troops, and strengthen the guards on both wings. In this way, the nomadic cavalry also changed the attack method and dispersed into more attack squads. Often, a long-distance raid was carried out in units of thousands of people, mainly with bow and arrow attacks, focusing on attacking the logistics and baggage units in the rear. Often, after the overwhelming rockets, the logistics and baggage vehicles ignited a raging fire, or a baptism of arrow rains against the infantry queues during the march. When you organize a counterattack, they have already escaped.
