Chapter 172 Formation to meet the enemy
At dawn, go out and bring back a large number of Heard cavalry looming information.

At the same time as the information that "a large group of Heard cavalry is approaching" was sent to the main camp, it was the North Shore camp asking for help.

The outpost has begun, and the leadership of Palatine's army is split.

Some people want to stop the siege and prepare to meet the enemy reinforcements; some people want to launch a general attack, be sure to break the city before the reinforcements arrive; some people repeat the old story, thinking that the time to attack Bianli has been lost, We should make plans to withdraw our troops.

At the impromptu meeting, Colonel Laszlo, the Great Captain of the Fifth Army regiment, roared with red eyes: "It's all about one breath! The city is now like a hot knife through butter! Withdraw? You tell me How to withdraw? If you withdraw, you may not be able to get in again! If the barbarians in the city take advantage of the situation, it will be a repeat of the Battle of Delegalbe!"

Colonel Colonel Hogwitz not to be outdone shouted: "If you don't destroy the reinforcements, what's the use of taking Bian Li? If you don't take Bian Li and you are outflanked from behind, the whole army is in danger of being destroyed! If you destroy the reinforcements, Bian Li will be us sooner or later. Yes. We can't beat the reinforcements, we're all done! It's that simple!"

"Fuck you!"

"I'm fighting with you!"

"What's the noise!?" Major General Arpad overturned the table and smashed the exquisite porcelain bottle.

The two who were about to perform the Quanwu Xing immediately fell silent.

After General Janos's stroke, there was no one in the Palatine army who could make a final decision.

The former retreating faction is now the siege faction, and the former siege faction is now the attacking faction.

Like an iceberg with only a small part floating on the water, the battle between Laszlo and Haugewitz is a battle of tactics, a battle of routes, a battle between infantry factions and cavalry factions .

Competition can play out in a healthy way when General Janos is in command. Because the Admiral is the faction of all factions, his prestige and wisdom are enough to convince everyone.

But when the admiral is incapacitated, the contradictions that were covered up in the past will immediately intensify.

"The worst strategy is to have no strategy. It's better to just stretch your neck and cut the barbarians!" Brigadier General Sackler said coldly: "Major General Arpad and I have made up our minds It’s over.”

 …

It was dawn and the sky was getting brighter.

The battle for Bianli West Acropolis has been divided. The barbarians were defeated, and platoons of soldiers poured into the city wall.

In desperation, the Hurds began to manipulate Huofen City.

In winter Tiangan Wuzao, the city is full of thatched wood houses, and the West Acropolis turns into a fire sea almost in an instant.

The low clouds were burned red by the fire, eclipsed even by the dawn.

The wind assisted the fire, and the fire field moved towards the outer wall and spread rapidly, and the Palatine troops who had entered the acropolis had to retreat to the outside of the city.

The fire separated the two sides temporarily, and the Palatine army controlled the outer city wall, but the main city was still firmly in the hands of the Hurds.

The heralds at Legion headquarters took great pains to find the sixth Legion Chief Hundred-Men Commander Baraz in the city.

"Withdraw? Tell me again! Withdraw?" Captain Balaz's eyes seemed to be devoured in the next second.

He grabbed the messenger's shoulder tightly, digging his fingers deep into the flesh of the other's shoulder.

The poor messenger had some weak legs. He stumbled and repeated the password: "Order your troops to leave the battle, gather your troops, retreat to the attack position, and rearrange your orders.

Bara Captain Z pulled off his helmet and smashed it fiercely to the ground.

Because the wind was northwest, there was still a small area in the north corner of the Western District that the fire did not reach.

Balaz was leading people Build an isolation belt, use the beams to build a simple battering ram, and only wait for the fire to weaken. Looked towards the main city gate attack.

The military order is like a mountain, the captain looked at the shadowy inner wall behind the fire and smoke, and spit out a word :"withdraw. "

...

Balaz's Hundred Men Squad was ordered to retreat when Winters had just entered the West Acropolis.

He prancing into the city wall Gap, the scorching heat wave immediately assaults the senses.

The city is filled with the smell of burnt stench, Qiangyun shakes his head unhappily, and the horse doesn't like it at all.

Rolling thick From time to time, there are screams of have one's hair stand on end after the cigarette, that is, people are being burned alive.

"Have you seen Lieutenant Mason? ' Winters asked everyone, 'Where's Lieutenant Mason? "

The five infantry battallions in charge of the early siege are retreating, the soldiers are like a school of sardines, everyone blindly follows the others out.

There are several Hundreds -Men Commander is leading people to demolish the city wall to prevent the Hurds from re-occupying the Acropolis.

But after more soldiers walked out of the city wall, they just slumped on the ground and panted heavily. All arms do not raise.

Although the siege was stopped, the results could not be thrown away. A full battallion was marching towards the acropolis, and they were ordered to repel any attempt to retake the outer city. The enemy of the wall.

The Winters, who went against the popular trend, asked all the way, and kept shouting with loudspeaker.

"Here! "

"Here! "

Winters raised his head following the sound, and Lieutenant Mason on the city wall was waving vigorously.

He ran up to the city wall, and the lieutenant in front of him was leading a few subordinates. "Raise a bronze cannon.

"Stop moving!" come with me! "

Several people heard this and threw down the artillery.

Mason wiped the soot from his face and asked anxiously: "Why are they all withdrawing?" I heard reinforcements from the Hurds are coming? Too many to count? "

"Who said that?" "Winters raised his eyebrows.

"That's all! "

"There are Hurds coming from the north, but not too many... Go back and talk about it!" "

"What about this thing? "Mason pointed to the cannon at his feet.

"Throw this!" Can you lose it? "

...

Jesska battallion was assembling when Winters and Mason rushed back to the main camp.

In the camp area allocated to the Militia Auxiliary, ten There was a lot of shouting from the captain.

One of the points of the rapid formation was that everyone had to know where they were standing, and the Palatine militia obviously didn't know that.

Seeing the two Hundred-Men Commanders returning to the team now, Lieutenant Colonel Jesska was a little unhappy: "What are you doing? "

"If Montagne hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have known there was an emergency assembly." Lieutenant Mason couldn't help but asked the lieutenant colonel, "Sir, how many Hurds are there?" "

"I don't know yet. "Jesska's expression was stern: "Let your people prepare first. "

Jesska battallion was not directly involved in the siege last night. Half of Winters' subordinates were on duty in the trenches and the other half were on standby in the battalion.

The militia in the battalion The assembly was completed quickly, and the assembly of the militias on duty took some time.

Fortunately, the ten commanders of Winters were competent enough to not need him to do everything by himself.

Most of the militias The panic on his face was hard to hide, which made Winters glad that he still had some "veterans" who had seen blood to serve as the backbone.

Mason, who hurried back, found the lieutenant colonel for instructions, and hurriedly brought more staff and carriage left—to carry the artillery.

Second Lieutenant Budd, who was in charge of the ordnance, began distributing weapons, armor, and ammunition to the militia.

Jesska battallion captured more than a hundred along the way The Hedza armor, normally kept and repaired by the battallion arsenal, is now all distributed to the Winters' lance.

There are also some temporary armor changed from the Hede horse armor. It's the idea of blacksmith Bellion to change the horse armor into human armor.

[Note: Hed's horse armor and human armor use the same piece of armor]
Because of the supplement and Strengthened, the strength of Jesska battallion has reached eight Hundred Men Squad - two more than the full battallion.

So the lieutenant colonel reorganized the group and changed each Hundred Men Squad by "Flower Squad" "become a "pure team".

[Note: The flower team is the Hundred Men Squad with mixed weapons, and the pure team is the Hundred Men Squad with a single weapon]
Now the composition of Jesska battallion is complex, Winters' two teams of lancers and halberdists are the most reliable, followed by Andre's two teams of musketeers and crossbowmen.

The subordinates of Winters and Andre are mainly old and new additions to battallion The militia.

The men of Lieutenant Budd and Lieutenant Mason appear to be fish and dragons mixed in together: convicts, conscripted merchants, remnants of other militia...who all have

In a way, Bud and Mason carry these "mobs" because only the two of them can carry them.

The Dussack Rider Lieutenant Colonel Jesska personally leads.

Winters walks in line, checking weapons and armor one by one.

Half of his subordinates wear platoons, the other half The person wears Hedza armor, at first glance It's very strange, and I can't even tell which side of the soldier is for a while.

“Which way to wear this?” Winters stopped in front of a spearman.

He was in a hurry, and he would inevitably speak with a three-point anger: "Why are the ropes tied outside?"

Lance shrank his neck with his hands hearing this.

"Your name is Ish?" Winters remembered the name of Lance's hand: "Is that you?"

Ish from Ganshui Town hurriedly nodded. He reached out and tried to pull the rope, but his movements were so clumsy that he couldn't reach the end of the rope.

Winters, having an impulsive attack, directly untied the armguard of Lance's hand, and quickly put on Lance's hand: "According to my binding method! Put all the knots in it for me!"

p>

By the time Ish came back to his senses, the second lieutenant had already walked up to the others.

Ish tried to speak a few times, but only licked his lips, and finally didn't say "thank you".

"Look out, Commander Ten! Check your comrades' armor!" Winters, who was checking in the queue, ordered loudly: "Two people help each other wear it!"

The Ten Commander The elders immediately began to act, and these old men who followed Winters all the way were more calm than the chaotic militiamen.

Charle and Heinrich ran to Winters with Hundred-Men Commander's armor in their arms: "Hurry up and put on your armor too!"

In an empty space, Winters stood up, and Shire and Heinrich started helping him get through the quarters.

Andre and Bud come over to meet Winters.

"Do you know how many Hurds came?" Andre frowned asked: "So much of a battle?"

Winters shook the head

Bud moved towards the center of the camp, and said calmly: "Everything is moving."

Suddenly, there was an invisible violent vibration in the air - the rumbling of horseshoes trampling the ground The sound is near.

Everyone was startled, and some of the militia's weapons were terrified and dropped to the ground.

"Come so fast?" Andre's eyes widened.

Winters pursed his lips and listened, and soon relaxed: "It's not the Hurds coming, it's the cavalry in the battalion going out, maybe spying."

"No , not a scout." Bud counted with his pulse: "How can there be so many scouts?"

The three second lieutenants climbed to the nearby sentry tower, where they had a panoramic view of the military camp.

The cavalry camp at the other end of the great camp, the hoofs of the horses raise the dust covering the heavens, shielding the sun.

At least four of the platoon's cavalry have left the camp, and many more are gearing up.

Andre squinted his eyes to identify carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Almost all the light cavalry have been dispatched!"

Outside the camp gate, a long trail of smoke and dust was coming. Extends to the north.

A green-helmed messenger gallops toward the militia station with a formal enemy briefing for Jaska battallion:

A large group of Heard cavalry is approaching from the north , the scouts were repelled by the enemy's peripheral light cavalry, and the specific force could not be ascertained, and it was estimated that there were thousands of cavalry.

The messenger also brought an order to Jieska battallion:
Immediately go to the North Bridge, fortify and defend the bridgehead camp.

......

The siege was suddenly stopped, all kinds of rumors spread like wildfire, and people were alarmed by middle and lower-level officers and soldiers.

But the chain of command of the Palatine Army was still functioning normally, and Legion headquarters issued the one after another order methodically, as if they had anticipated the situation.

In this case, the order is the ballast of the military heart, and it is reassuring to be able to execute the order mechanically.

The sense of honor stirs in the hearts of the Palatine soldiers. They have won more and more with less. They are the shield of the alliance and the iron army that is invincible and invincible.

Like a beast turning its head, the army began to adjust its center of gravity, ready to meet the enemy.

The reserve forces that were not engaged in the battle turned around, and the five battallions that had already entered the battle retreated and regrouped.

More scouts are heading into the wilderness, and this time they will never be easily driven away again.

The hussars and charioteers rushed out to help the camp on the north bank.

Brigadier General Sackler found Arpad who was in armor: "I don't think it's okay to send light cavalry to Beizhai."

"I know, I'll take heavy cavalry. ." Arpad took a gulp of spirits and tucked the flat silver jug into his breastplate.

The major general's face was slightly reddish due to the increased blood flow. If it weren't for the wrinkles and white temples, it would be hard to imagine that the Palatine man in front of him was over fifty years old.

Two infantry battallions set up a village on the north bank of the Confluence River, and they were placed there to block the entry and exit of the Northern Part of City in Bian Lei.

Now facing enemy reinforcements, they bear the brunt.

"If it's just to deal with the Herd vanguard, the light cavalry is enough." Sackler paused: "But if it is to prevent reinforcements from entering the city, or to prevent the Chihe Department from breaking through, Beizhai It needs to be strengthened. There is a priority right now, and someone has to be in charge."

"en?" Alpad eyebrow raised .

"I'll take people there." Sackler looked grim: "I'll take the reserve team that hasn't been engaged in the siege to Beizhai. Before, I only needed to prevent the Hurds from coming out, but now I have to prevent the enemy from entering. So Nanzhai also needs to be strengthened. Let the kid Jieska dig the blockade trench, his people are good at this."

Arpad laughed heartily: "It's time for me to bring people to Beizhai. It's all you who sit in the middle army, you can't do without you here."

"No, that was before General Yanosh's accident." Sackler's eyes were bright: "You are the highest rank now. Humans are the masters of an army, and they can no longer rush to kill with their own temper. The Hurds are all cavalry and have the initiative in tactics. But they have to relieve Bian Li and are passive in strategy. Our army's fighters are all here. ..."

...

...

The west wind roared and the clouds covered the sun.

Three thousand Plato soldiers crossed the wooden bridge and headed towards the North Village.

An earthquake-like sound of hoofs came from the north, and a scout swung his helmet toward Brigadier-General Sackler.

His mouth is wide open, but his cry is completely muffled by the sound of hoofs.

On the ridgeline of the mountainside slope of the detective cavalry, a silhouette of a Hurd cavalry suddenly appeared, then two, ten, a hundred...

Countless Qing's Hurd cavalry jumped out from the reverse slope and roared towards the Paratus formation.

"Around the point to help?" Brigadier General Sackler sneered.

The bugle was played, and the war drum was played.

In front of Heard Barbarians covering the mountains and plains, six infantry battallions completed a series of complex formation changes.

Platoon's soldiers stand against the confluence river with their backs to face the enemy.

"I'm here!" Sackler raised long halberd aloft on horseback, his voice amplified by the sorcerer to everyone: "If I take a step back - cut off my Head!"

The soldiers all stared at the general's tassel, and at first there was a dead silence.

"Hooray!" Someone suddenly yelled.

"Long live!" More and more people joined the cry.

"Long live!" Everyone's voices joined together: "Long live!"

With the deafening mountain call, Sackler jumped off his horse and strode into the square. .

I tried flashbacks last night, but at the end, I still felt that the main story was better, so I ended up recounting according to the time; I finished the first chapter of preparation, but I didn’t finish the next chapter (covering my face) Chapter continues.

There is a map in this chapter. In this chapter, if readers and friends do not see it, it means that I have not finished P, please come back later.
