Chapter 313 General Attack
At first, it might just be subconsciously dodging.

Faced with a giant beast whose size is much larger than itself, the instinctive reaction of human beings is to avoid them. even more how giant beast has a more dangerous, howling, killing humanoid wild beast on its back.

However, the individual's instinct to avoid, in a blink of an eye, led to the disintegration of the company formation.

The fierce Armored Soldier who jumped over the ditch abandoned the broken spear, drew his knife and slashed wildly, and the surrounding militia threw away their weapons and rolled back.

The "young soldiers" were originally the most vulnerable part of the army.

"Mature soldiers" have at least experienced the baptism of [Battle of the Pangtuo River], while young soldiers are downright civilians who have only received the simplest training.

Young soldiers can also be listed as seemingly invulnerable, indestructible and impregnable fronts, allowing long-range weapons such as crossbows and muskets to function.

But when that moment did come, they didn't have the will and faith to face the charge.

"[Hedde] breaking the formation!" The Teltown cavalry roared wildly, taking advantage of the chaos to push Juma and Luzhai into the trenches, swarming into the front: "[Hedde] breaking the formation!"

......

In the middle army, someone frowned and asked, "What are the Hurds howling?"

"breaking the formation, which means [breaking the enemy's] Army formation]." The old businessman who has been walking wasteland for many years replied cautiously, and added: "I haven't heard of it for many years...almost thirty years."

...

At the same time, the thunderous sound of war drums was played at the foot of the mountain - the fire roaster's main formation moved towards Tiefeng County's central army pressed up.

Hundreds of thousands of Turdun cavalry advanced slowly, very slowly, but the strong oppression almost suffocated the people of Iron Peak.

The so-called [pull one hair and move the whole body] is undoubtedly now.

One wolf had fiercely bit Winters' left hand, but as long as Winters dared to look away, the other wolf would tear his throat without the slightest hesitation.

The long confrontation that preceded it seems to have been accumulating potential energy in this brief moment.

When the brass horn blew, all the good disguises of war were torn to smithereens in an instant. The ultimate violence will erupt like a torrent, ramming the earth with impunity.

Seeing that the left flank was in critical condition, the central army was crucified, and everyone in the headquarters looked towards the Montagne tribune.

Even the most pessimistic people in Tiefeng County never expected that the battle had just begun, and it was at the juncture of life and death.

"It's still too late to dispatch troops from the right flank!" Someone couldn't hold back and said rashly.

Teldens were heavily concentrated on the left flank and the center. At this moment, the troops on the right wing are almost sitting idle.

Winters took a deep look at each other and said nothing.

The man riding the dark horse beside him reprimanded in a deep voice: "Shut up! Look more! Move? The barbarians are waiting for you to move!"

Although the dark horse rider was also present during the negotiation , but he and his attendants are entirely different from the people of Tiefeng County. The person who just spoke was one of the attendants of the Dark Horse Rider.

"Let you laugh." The Dark Horse Rider turned to Winters.

Winters watched the battle on the left without showing any emotion.

Actually, he just doesn't have any emotions, and it's not his intention.

Winters was never a passionate commander. Alpad is, so is Andre, but not Winters.

Andre would severely flog the cowardly, and would sit by the fire and take turns sharing a bottle of wine with his subordinates, laughing, scolding, bragging, and joking; Arpad just stepped into the battlefield, It can boost the morale of the whole army.

They are fiery, sparkling, and fearless. Soldiers regarded them as idols and gods, swearing viciously at them, and charging with them.

What Andre and Alpad can do, so can Winters, and no one can question his courage.

But he was different from the other two from in the bones.

So in the face of blood and death, he became silent and pulled away. The more the experience, the more so, as if the self-protective subconscious completely closed off some emotions.

Not far from Winters, the tall and thin Mr [Jacob Green], determined to write an epic, watched the battlefield tremblingly, while secretly observing Winters Montagne's expression, Secretly speculate about the latter's inner world.

……

Because the training level of the militia is extremely limited, the formation of each company and battalion of the Tiefeng County Army is very close to the “square formation” used by the army, but it is closer to the classical era. "horizontal array".

That is, the 120-man company is arranged in the form of [15 columns] [8 rows], and the four companies of each battalion are juxtaposed. Both sides of the battalion-level horizontal formation are protected by horses and fences.

When fighting, all people stand facing the same direction, and all actions follow the flag.

8 rows deep is obviously a bit thin for the Militia, but Winters needs to take up as much width as possible.

Because the total width of the battlefield is close to one kilometer, it is more deadly to be detoured than to be broken through the front.

Moreover, the temporarily recruited militia is also impossible to implement the rotation tactics of the ancient empire Legion. After the battle, there will only be two situations: "swarming up" and "swarming away", and the depth is not so important. .

……

Under the internal and external attack, the [4th Company of Little Rock Town] was almost collapsed on the first encounter.

The militiamen who have traveled all the way here, no one intends to escape from the very beginning - why wait until now to escape?
Hatred, authority, lust...they enter the battlefield for all kinds of motives. No one is "ordinary". If everyone's joys and sorrows can be sorted into words, it will be a heavy epic.

But the giant vortex in the battlefield, they are extremely small and powerless.

First a little crash, then a company, then a battalion.

Telltown cavalry used machetes and lances to drive the rout towards the adjacent battalion, but they soon encountered First Layer obstacles - fences and stakes between battalions.

…

Left flank, second front.

Monkey and Doug get cold palms and limp limbs as they watch hell come to earth.

A trench was dug in front of both fronts.

The routed soldiers first fled to the east and west, where they were stopped by fences and stakes. So he fled to the rear, and stopped at the edge of the second trench.

A succession of panicked soldiers jumped directly into the trenches.

The grinning barbarian raised his machete and slashed down. The youngster, who was standing in front of the ditch crying for help, had a shriveled skull and lost his strength instantly.

The monkey watched helplessly as the corpse of a child younger than him fell into the trench, and heartbeat also stopped for a beat.

The sergeant [Lu Xirong] was expressionless and seemed completely untouched. He drew his longbow and shot an arrow into the grinning barbarian's cheek: "Move away and refuse the horse!"

The barbarian fell off the horse and was not dead yet. The old sergeant shot a bow and arrow, and for some reason he turned and shot at the other barbarian.

The monkey swallowed and dared not look again.

When digging the trenches, the company commander specially ordered that every 20 meters be set aside two meters as passages, so that three people and two horses could be allowed to run side by side.

The channel entrance is blocked by Reuma and Luzhai, and there are fences on both sides after entering the battle line, leading to the rear of the battle line.

It is through them that the light infantry moves through the battle formation, and it is through them that food and water are delivered to the battalions.

The militiamen guarding the passage removed the obstacles, and the defeated soldiers finally found their way out and rushed to the passage like mad.

one after the other The two fronts were arrayed fifty meters apart. Just fifty meters is the distance between life and death.

The barbarians slaughtered wantonly between the two trenches, and the rout soldiers who escaped slowly died one after another.

The channel entrance, people squeeze each other, the oppressed screams, and the defeated soldiers are squeezed into the trench.

Behind the crowd, barbarians are slashing wildly with machetes.

"Take up arms!" The monkey heard the company commander roaring: "The troops who attacked the formation execute without any mercy!"

He heard the company commander yelling angrily: "Where are the light soldiers? Damn! Where are they!"

The light soldiers hurried over, standing behind the trenches, shooting the enemy with all their might.

But the Terdun continued to pour into the first front through the gap, as if inexhaustible.

As more and more troops were put in, the Terdun people dragged down the barrier between the battalions and moved towards the east and west sides.

The gap has turned into an ulcer, the first front has been on the verge of collapse, and the second is equally shaken.

The Teltown Titans, who broke the formation in one fell swoop, threw away the dull blade, took over a new knife, and reined in his horse to look around.

Suddenly, he slammed his mount hard and rushed straight to the passage of the second front. The surrounding Tortown Armored Soldier did not hesitate to follow.

Terdun warriors broke into the second ditch, just as they were about to burst out, a dark shadow approached him with the sound of the wind.

The monkey saw that the company commander was holding an amazingly long spear, and roared at the barbarian leader who seemed to be fished out of blood.

Terdun's reaction speed is much faster than ordinary people, and his body will be thrown back and will be dodged.

The gun barrel snapped off the middle of the saddle while rubbing the blade. Immediately afterwards, the warhorse also bent its hind legs and fell to the ground screaming.

Old sergeant Lu Xirong was blocked by his own people and could not let go of his arrows. He was so anxious that he yelled at him.

The other militiamen came back to his senses, flails and long sticks hit him in the face, and lance moved towards the other side of the fence.

Terdon's spears and machetes also jabbed back from gaps in the fence.

The two sides killed each other across a fence, yelling and screaming in languages they couldn't understand.

Telltown cavalry wears heavy armor, sticks and lances don't hurt or itch.

The Tiefeng County militiamen only have common clothes on their bodies, and a lance is a terrifying blood hole.

The monkey's eyes widened in horror, its nostrils expanded several times, and the breathing was so intense that the eardrums bulged.

There are people everywhere, and the monkeys can't see where the barbarians are. He put the lance on the rail of the fence and stabbed it back and forth like a bellows.

The monkey stepped on something smooth and greasy, and the monkey's center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.

It was only then that he realized that he was stepping on a piece of intestine, and the other end of the intestine was connected to the abdominal cavity of a screaming fellow beside him.

"Mom!" The monkey wailed without warning, the greed that supported him getting here was completely crushed.

The monkey, who has nothing to do with piety, vomited and tried his best to salute: "Save me! Save me!"

"Don't fucking stab people!" The company commander was like a tug-of-war He grabbed a lance and wrestled with the barbarians, shouting: "Kill the horses! Stab their horses!"

Another machete stretched out from above the fence, moved towards the company commander and swung down.

The monkey's company commander seemed to have forgotten that he could dodge, so he held the barrel of the gun tightly, and watched as the blade fell on his stiff body, cutting off his left shoulder in half.

With the knife stuck in the bone, the monkey's company commander stumbled to the ground, and the panicked militiamen dragged him backward.

The monkey's company commander was still screaming: "Poke their horses!"

In the middle of the two fences, the Terdun Warriors had been replaced by another horse. He also gave an order with a hoarse voice: "[Herde] Pull the fence! Pull the fence!"

However, except for a few cronies beside him, almost no followers responded to him.

When the battle becomes extremely bloody and chaotic, the humans surrounded by this tend to do the same thing over and over again, almost like being possessed.

The man who shoots arrows will keep shooting arrows, shooting arrows, shooting arrows...

The man who chops will keep hacking, hacking, hacking...

The jab will keep jabbing, jabbing, jabbing...

Because doing one thing repeatedly gives people a sense of security.

When people face the ultimate threat and only instinct is left, even the weak sense of security is as irresistible as addiction.

This is the so-called "kill the red eye".

People don't "red eye" for killing, they are so scared that they lose the ability to think, only the reflex action that repeats the killing action.

...

The first front of the left flank was one step away from complete collapse, but the Turdun cavalry was also stunted.

From start to finish, Winters gave no orders to the wings.

This is not a company-level battle that can be controlled by the use of [Amplification]. The army of tens of thousands of people has been fully deployed, and the difficulty of communication increases sharply with the expansion of the battlefield.

Any command of more than two sentences can only be delivered manually if there is no preset signal in advance.

Even with efficient communications, untrained militias are incapable of performing complex tactical maneuvers.

Winters did not give orders to the two flanks, because the tasks of the two flanks had already been given in advance:

"Hold on"

Give up mobility, give up offensive ability, use trenches and Shuma surrounded himself, put on an iron barrel-like formation, and fought the most brutal war of attrition.

The fire-boilers may choose to besiege rather than attack, and divide their troops to cut off Winters' food supply; they may also choose to confront Winters head-on.

No matter what the fire roaster chooses, Winters has a plan for it.

But a real showdown is what the Winters wanted—and probably what the Burners wanted.

In the Imperial language, the word [battle] is derived from [slaughter], and this alone is sufficient to illustrate the nature of the main battle.

It's the most brutal solution, and the most blunt solution.

The [Battle of Iron Peaks-Telltown], which I don't know if it should be counted as a war or a battle, has brought too much torment.

Both sides deep in one's heart long for a happy, real thing to end everything completely.

...

Left, first front.

Although the Terdun Department suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Great Wasteland, the real family property of the Burner, the fierceness of the Khan House Guard, is still far from any barbarian that Iron Peak County has seen before. .

The heavily armored cavalry pulled off seven fences in a row and charged back and forth in the narrow War Zone between the two trenches. The militiamen in Tiefeng County would be defeated almost as soon as they lost the fortification cover. .

On the left front line, only the westernmost battalion and the easternmost half of the battalion were barely able to hold on to their fortifications.

As the Armored Soldier charged, the unarmored riders who screened were also continuously pouring into the trench.

Unconsciously, the area between the two trenches became more and more crowded.

The leader of the military guard with a quiver on his waist and a golden helmet on his head restrained his horse, ripped off his sweaty helmet, and panted to look around the battle situation:

Fighting to the east , To the west, all went well; but the next ditch in the south was slow to capture.

And these trenches are like narrow-mouthed bottles - easy to get in, but not to get out;
The drums of war are still rumbling, and the leader of the guards is getting more and more disturbed, galloping and scolding: "[Hedde] don't Go in again! Go south! Go to the second ditch! Go west! Go around the back of the two-legged man! Don't go in any more!"

…

Left, second front.

In the camp where the monkeys are located, the battle has also entered a fierce battle.

The Thortown Titans whipped and tugged again, taking away Armored Soldier, who was still alive.

The monkey thought the battle was won, but soon the barbarian returned with a lasso.

Telltown Armored Soldier was effectively commanded, they fixed the ropes to the saddles, lanced the fences and the horses, and they were able to drag a row down in one fell swoop.

Correspondingly, the company commander of Monkey had already withdrawn from the battle due to serious injuries, and the company of young soldiers where Monkey was in a mess.

Seeing that the fence was about to be pulled out, Sergeant Roussillon shouted in despair, "Fight with them!"

After saying this, he raised his flail and rushed out of the fence. Some militiamen, inspired by Roussillon's bravery, followed suit.

The monkey's blood was surging, and he wanted to charge bravely, but his legs didn't obey him.

It is at this time that the monkey realizes that he is not the kind of person he imagined.

Then, he saw his friend climbing the fence.

Through childhood, between monkeys and dogs, monkeys make ideas and make decisions, and dogs are reliable followers and implementers.

Although I didn't say it explicitly, in deep in one's heart, the monkey actually thinks that he is the first-class leader, and the taciturn friend is the second-class subordinate.

The monkey stared blankly at the accessory in his eyes, bit a broken spear, climbed up the fence with his hands and feet a few times, and immediately jumped up, the barbarian leader who was shouting orders. Hit the horse's back.

……

West side of the battlefield, at the foot of Iron Peak.

Anglo finally saw the promised red flag.

"All mount!" Anglo pulled out his saber and shouted with all his strength: "Forward! Forward!! Forward!!!"

No more cavalry Hide your tracks, and the charge song has already sounded.

The rider accelerates first, and does not let go of the horse until he enters the sparsely wooded area.

They weren't cavalry -- and they were never called "cavalry"; they weren't even real cavalry -- the real cavalry was taken by Andre.

They were farmers, merchants, craftsmen, Dussacks, clumsy riders who had recently learned to ride, ordinary people who never thought of going into battle.

No matter what they are, at this moment, they are all clenching their legs, bending their bodies, and uttering the most feared and bravest cry: "Forward! Forward!! Forward!!!"

The bravest men in Iron Peak roared down the hillside, cutting off the Turdun troops who were attacking the left flank.

The second front also launched a counterattack at the same time. The refusal of the horse and the fence were pushed into the trench. The battalions of the middle-aged soldiers rushed towards the battalion that had consumed too much physical strength and was trapped in the two lanes in a disorderly melee. Turdun cavalry between the trenches.

But will the battle end like this?
No, seeing the ambush of the Tiefeng County Army start, seeing the champion of Platoon show his trump card, the fire roaster also shot the last arrow hidden in the quiver.

The horns are soaring, and the iron hooves of the war horses seem to tear the earth - not from the front, but from the back.

The roundabout Turdun cavalry arrived on the battlefield, and the Turdun formation followed. Where horsetail flags stand in great numbers, the cavalry, whose whole body and even their horses are heavily armored, finally attack.

Their target was not the blood-soaked left flank of Iron Peak, nor the Central Army of Iron Peak, where Winters was.

Their goal is the right wing of Tiefeng County that has been "sit-in" to this day.

At the same time, more than a thousand riders who were hiding on the reverse slope of the northern hill rushed down the hill.

These newcomers of Teltown are rarely armoured—they are indeed new, and they're not the "Knights".

They are the remnants of the Winters who had previously been driven back on the West Bank.

The fire roaster put all the armored cavalry on the surface for Winters to see, but hid these more than a thousand light cavalry until now.

More than a thousand light cavalry did not follow to hit the right wing of the Tiefeng County Army, but went straight to the Tiefeng County Army.

The Teltowners launched a general attack.

This is not the end, this is the beginning of the end.

[It's barely half a chapter? ]
[Because the "cavalry" commanded by Anglo is not a real cavalry, it is referred to as "cavalry" and "rider" in the text]
[Actually, there are also Teltown people. The Teltown people are described as "cavalry", that is, they are temporarily recruited herdsmen, and are not good at fighting except for horses and bows]
[Some Teltown people use "cavalry", that is, they are in a certain To a certain extent, it is a full-time warrior class, which belongs to the relatively elite main force]
[For example, the Terdun people encountered in the early stage, such as Ganquan and the others, should all use riders]
[The same is true for the troops under Winters, At present, "soldier" is rarely used to describe it, and they are all militia. If you are more elite, use "warrior" (cover your face)]
