Chapter 130: Pursuing the Victory
Zhu Cheng, who was in charge of command behind, saw a messenger coming on a hurry on his horse and reported to him: "Reporting to the commander, the 102nd Battalion's attack was blocked and he asked for artillery support."
"Battle of 102? Northwest?" Zhu Cheng looked northwest with the fire of the camp, and found that there was a village wall and an arrow tower in that direction. Could it be that the attack was blocked?
He immediately ordered: "Order the Artillery Battalion to aim at the northwest wall and launch a shelling when the order is ordered." After giving the order to the Artillery Battalion, Zhu Cheng then ordered to the messenger: "Let the 102nd Battalion retreat a hundred meters and pay attention to the shelling."
When the enemy camp was bombarded with the outer walls, the artillery of the First Brigade was concentrated and used. Now that it has attacked the enemy camp, the artillery has returned to its respective regiments.
Zhu Cheng's location was not far from the front line. In fact, he was the front line commander, so the order was delivered very quickly. After the Artillery Battalion had heard the news that the preparations were completed, he also heard the whistle of the 102nd Battalion in front of him.
"Order the artillery battalion to fire!"
The artillery battalion of a standard regiment has 30 field artillery and 10 siege artillery. Although the siege artillery is still at the top of the city of Guihua City, the attack power of the thirty field artillery is not something that can be underestimated.
Just a volley, thirty flowering bullets knocked the northwest wall together with the arrow tower into the sky, and the offensive obstacles of the 102nd Infantry Battalion disappeared.
Infantry attacks steadily, artillery extends and artillery attacks, infantry attacks summon artillery support when encountering obstacles, cavalry wait for an opportunity to move forward from time to time, attack from time to time, or clear out the fish that escapes behind them.
Such a battle situation takes place from time to time in the enemy camp, allowing the enemy to retreat again and again under the bombardment of artillery, but where can they retreat?
...
When the war started, Huo Qubing led the cavalry brigade to the north of the enemy camp, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the flames in the enemy camp soaring into the sky and explosions, he immediately ordered the entire brigade to launch an attack.
It is not wise to say that the cavalry brigade can only exert its maximum combat power when fighting in plains and fields. Attacking the city and villages is a poor person, which is equivalent to attacking the other person's strengths with one's own shortcomings.
But Huo Qubing did not attack randomly, because the enemy camp in the north was completely unprepared and there was not even a simple fence. At first glance, he was full of enemy tents, so he dared to order to attack the enemy camp.
Shanhaiguan is located on the northern foot of the Linhai Mountains. It is full of mountains outside, and there is not much gentleness at all. The troops of the Fulimet Kingdom are stationed in a relatively open place. The continuous camps completely occupy this open land, with insurmountable mountains on both sides.
This is equivalent to occupying the entire road. As long as a village wall is set up in the south, it can stop the attack of the Xia army. Moreover, the enemy did not expect that the Xia army should take the lead in launching the attack. Even this village wall is just a precaution, let alone the rear of the camp, which is completely unprepared.
With the impact of the cavalry brigade, the enemy found that there were actually Xia troops behind them. Now even if they wanted to escape, it became very difficult, and they became even more panicked.
The attack of the cavalry brigade was very fast, as if a gust of wind swept across the entire northern part of the enemy camp. Of course, there were more fish that were missing. Of course, Huo Qubing did not let the cavalry brigade rush too far forward, otherwise he would have been attacked by his own artillery and he would not even have any place to reason.
As time went by, all the remaining enemy troops gathered on a small hill in the middle of the camp to prepare for breaking through.
When the Xia army began to launch shelling, Polante ran to the middle of the camp, commanding the knights, and the officers gathered the soldiers and prepared to fight back.
But who knew that the Xia army's attack was so sharp. By the time he gathered all the soldiers who could be gathered, it was already morning. At this moment, he stood on the hillside and could clearly see the sound of attacking around the camp.
"Master Knight, the Xia army is about to surround us." A knight reported to Portland, urging him to break through quickly.
Originally, Polante wanted to wait, because now there are soldiers gathering here from time to time, but what he saw and heard had to make a decision quickly.
"Hey~!" Porant sighed secretly, knowing that he was powerless to turn the world around, so he had to order: "Start breaking north!"
Only the Xia Kingdom army in the north is less, and only the north is the way back.
The knights who had been waiting for his words immediately ordered the prepared army to launch a breakthrough towards the north.
Although the breakthrough process was entirely about who ran fast, it still fought for the cost of heavy casualties to make some of the troops break out.
After breaking through, Polante no longer thought about how to attack Guihua City, but wanted to meet with the troops behind him as soon as possible. Fortunately, the army in this barracks only had half of the troops of the attacking army and had the chance to turn defeat into victory.
After dawn, Poland finally saw the strength of the Xia army and finally figured out why the Xia army had to attack at night. If the Xia army had less than 50,000 troops head-on, they would definitely not win - this is completely Poland's wishful thinking.
What Polante didn't know was that his breakthrough was that Li Jing wanted him to break through so as to launch a pursuit battle. After all, the fight between trapped beasts was still very dangerous, but as long as he saw hope and survived, the soldiers of the Met Country would not have the fighting intention.
After hearing the news that the enemy had successfully broken through, Li Jing nodded and immediately ordered: "Order Huo Qubing to catch up, so that the enemy will not have a chance to recover."
"Order the First Brigade and the Second Brigade to follow and launch a counterattack." After giving orders to Huo Qubing, Li Jing continued to order the other two brigades: "Target, Nanshan City!"
On the other hand, after receiving Li Jing's order, Huo Qubing immediately gathered the cavalry brigade and launched a pursuit of the army that fled to the local area. He followed the fleeing enemy slowly, and from time to time, he used cavalry muskets to attack the enemy's butts from a distance, so that it would not run too slowly.
The injured enemy soldiers were often left behind and were cleaned up by the cavalry brigade along the way. Some of the enemy soldiers were so tired that they ran too fast that they were so tired.
"Let me in quickly, Xia Jun is following again." "Let me in quickly." "I'm so tired, I don't want to run away anymore."...
Outside the small town of the southern garrison in Fulimet, a large group of riots gathered outside the town, all shouting that they wanted to enter the town first.
It was already that night. After a day of escape, the soldiers of the Forlimet Kingdom finally ran to this small town, which was only fifty kilometers away from the Planning City.
When Liu Qi saw that the enemy's deserter was blocked outside the town, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly suggested to Huo Qubing: "General, this is a good opportunity."
"What a good opportunity." Huo Qubing also saw the situation of the enemy. After replying to Liu Qi, he immediately ordered: "Caval brigade attacks, targets, enemy troops outside the city!"
"Ah, help!" "Save me, I don't want to die!" "Let me in quickly and don't close the door!"
Seeing the Knights of Xia Kingdom's army launched an attack, and under the order of Polante who entered the town first, the town firmly closed the city gate, and for this reason, some soldiers blocked the city gate were killed before they could completely close the city gate.
The soldiers on the city wall watched helplessly as the soldiers under the city were killed by the Xia army in a few seconds. This feeling was not pleasant at all. The blow to the morale of the Weli Met army can be imagined.
