Chapter 182 The sudden change of the battle situation
A mutiny, or it can be said to be a mutiny! There was a real mutiny within the coalition!
When the order of Knight Byron Emory was issued, ordinary soldiers who learned that they would die without attacking ignored the rest and raised their weapons to the back-selling soldiers or the supervisory team for the sake of their lives.
Most of these ordinary soldiers recruited were ordinary peasants. Under the forced enlistment of the lords, they had no choice but to leave their homes, pick up their simple weapons and enter the battlefield with a dazed future.
These ordinary soldiers are usually ordered by Shangguan to do all the hard work, such as marching and transporting grain, and camping during the suspension. This is fine, but this is what happened in the past.
But no one could have thought that when a war really started, they would still rush to the front, and those so-called "elite soldiers" were supervising the battle in the rear.
Well, they were all forced, there was no way, just go up. Anyway, they felt that there were many people on their side and not many on the other side. But after they really started the charge, they didn't expect that since they couldn't rush up.
After they came to their senses, they looked at the wounded soldiers who were covered with corpses and groaning and struggling on the hillside ahead, and couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. Fortunately, it was not me who was lying there.
I thought that after this attack, the Cavaliers would not let them attack again, but what was waiting for them was still an inhuman attack order.
Isn’t this let them die again? How can this be done? The knights behind were not elite soldiers, so they asked them to attack the enemy’s fortress half a month ago. How could they accept this?
But the orders of the Knight Master have been issued. If they do not attack, they will be waiting for cruel punishment, which may harm their families.
Now what is placed in front of them is a dead end. Moving forward is death, and not moving forward is death.
As the saying goes, rabbits bite people even if they are impatient. For these ordinary soldiers, the matter that concerns their own life and death is the most urgent. As for possible disasters and family members, they should no longer be considered.
So when the ordinary soldiers arranged to be at the forefront of the attack learned their own situation, they were left with the only way to go mutiny, because only in this way can they have a little hope of living.
Of course, there must be contributions from the Xia Kingdom intelligence personnel, otherwise how could such a decision be made with these "mud legs"? How could they have such courage?
There were a large number of locals among the intelligence personnel of the Xia Kingdom. It was not too easy for the coalition forces to get involved.
So when Knight Byron Emory issued a supervision order, about 10,000 or 20,000 people in the front line of the coalition launched an attack on the coalition behind under the instigation of Xia State intelligence personnel.
And while turning against each other, he also loudly encouraged more soldiers to join the camp of mutiny at the suggestion of Xia Guo intelligence personnel, making the soldiers on the mutiny like snowballs, expanding to 50,000 or 60,000 in less than a moment.
Whether it was coercion or voluntary participation, the number of soldiers on the mutiny was increasing rapidly, which made Knight Byron Emory suddenly at a loss.
"His Excellency Knight Byron Emory? What should I do now?" This was the first time Bernie Kley knew that there would be mutiny in the army, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Not to mention Bernie, even Byron has experienced a mutiny for the first time. In the past, even if he asked those ordinary soldiers to die, no one dared to resist. He could only go to die obediently under the pressure of the supervision team. Unexpectedly, when he met Xia Kingdom, he would encounter everything.
After Bernie asked a panicked question, Captain Byron finally calmed down. After reacting, he suddenly became furious and said, "You dare to rebel? You dare to? Order the supervising army to attack these traitors immediately, and attack immediately! Give this Captain not to leave any of them!"
In fact, without the orders of Knight Byron, the more than 50,000 soldiers in the rear had already clashed with these ordinary soldiers, or had already fought together.
Although the soldiers in the rear were not mentally prepared to turn against the ordinary soldiers in front of them for a while, the soldiers were warriors after all, and were all professional soldiers. They soon blocked the ordinary soldiers who wanted to rush out and escape with the help of the Knights.
Just like the coalition forces attacked the Xia army camp before, ordinary soldiers did not have much power to fight back against professional warriors. If there was no external force, it would be a matter of time before the mutiny soldiers were suppressed.
But there are not so many "ifs" in the world, and the vanguard army of Xia Kingdom will not miss this good opportunity and will naturally participate.
When the coalition was in chaos, it was investigated by the Pioneer Army, but Zhu Cheng and Taidong prevented it from being the enemy's plan and chose to continue to wait and see because they had no extra power to take risks.
However, as the coalition forces became more and more intense and the information confirmed, Zhu Cheng finally ordered the entire army to attack!
The Pioneer Army gave up the defensive position that it had worked hard to build and chose to take the initiative to attack. It can only be said that the situation of war is changing frequently.
However, there is a problem with the attack of the vanguard army, that is, the enemy is all on the other side of the battlefield, and the defensive positions are all ordinary soldiers who are mutiny.
The battlefield now is like three concentric circles. The outermost circle is the warriors of the coalition forces that are suppressing the mutiny of the second ring, and the most central aspect is the vanguard of the Xia Kingdom.
Therefore, if the vanguard army wants to attack the elite coalition forces at the outermost periphery, it must let ordinary soldiers unknown to us make way for one passage, but for both parties that have not been discussed, this is a big problem.
Fortunately, there were intelligence personnel from Xia among the ordinary soldiers in the mutiny. Fortunately, the active actions of the intelligence personnel allowed Xia’s intelligence personnel to gain a significant voice among ordinary soldiers, which gave the vanguard army the possibility of cooperation with the mutiny.
In fact, it is more inevitable than to be thankful, because the instigation of intelligence personnel will lead to mutiny. It is inevitable that all Xia State intelligence personnel gain the right to speak among ordinary soldiers in mutiny.
Before the vanguard army launched a counterattack, Taidong grabbed Zhu Cheng who was about to order and suggested: "The regiment commander, his subordinates suggested that our army launch an attack on the enemy in the north."
"Why?" Zhu Cheng actually wanted to let the vanguard army concentrate on attacking the south out of caution. As for why he did not divide his troops and counterattack in multiple ways? Of course, there was no such tactic.
Even if there is a good opportunity in front of the Pioneer Army, the Pioneer Army is a weak side after all, and it still has to be vigilant against ordinary soldiers in mutiny.
Regarding Zhu Cheng's question, because time is tight and the fighter is fleeting, Taidong replied quickly and quickly: "You can intercept the enemy fleeing northwards. I believe that the reinforcements sent by General Li are already on the road. Wouldn't it be better to give the enemy a double attack?"
Zhu Cheng thought about it and thought it was the same, so he nodded in agreement with Taidong's suggestion, so he ordered: "Let the vanguard attack the whole army and attack the north!"
