"It's almost impossible to hold on." Quincy, standing next to Chapel, made such a judgment.
Under the already dark sky, the two of them stood behind, only to see the vague outlines of the soldiers fighting in front. As the sky became darker, soldiers gradually raised torches on the battlefield. But compared to the entire huge battlefield, where can a little bit of star torch make people see clearly the battle situation?
But just such a vague situation is enough to allow Quincy to make a judgment that his own side is completely at a disadvantage-this is because the situation is already too obvious.
One thousand soldiers in the garrison have already suffered heavy casualties. The specific number, because of poor visibility, is a clear night sky, but after all, it is not comparable to the daytime, and there is no way to count the number clearly.
However, the tendency of the garrison to be gradually collapsed is a problem that cannot be covered by the night. Not only the garrison army, but even the light infantry corps, which had just been photographed and fought for ten minutes, showed signs of collapse with the garrison soldiers.
This annoyed Chapel. A lower-quality unit like a garrison is too annoying when used with a high-quality army. Especially on the same battlefield, their collapse will often lead to the collapse of other troops. This chain reaction is the culprit in some battles where the situation of "failure is like a mountain".
Now, the White Wolf Fortress is about to face this situation.
The only relief is that the elite soldiers of the White Wolf Guard are still so strong. Although it had been playing all afternoon, and after the enemy's offensive became several times more fierce, they still remained dead for half an hour, and the casualties had accumulated to a relatively small number, but they still seemed to be able to hold their positions. The position of the White Wolf guards is also the most stable part of the entire front of the Army, and it is also the most solid pillar that has not yet defeated the entire army.
But this pillar is also under great pressure. When the friendly forces around them have reached a point where it is difficult to continue, the pressure to provide them with support and resolution will become slight. Even if they still rely on their tenacity, they are at the forefront of the entire battlefield, but this can at most only slow down the speed of the collapse of the friendly forces.
And if the troops composed of the garrison and the light infantry are really defeated, and only the White Wolf Guards are left, how long will they be able to stand alone in this battlefield? It is a difficult question.
"What to do?" As the captain of the first wing, Quincy was already a little panicked. His gaze looked at Chapul around him, but he saw his old boss frown.
Chapul did not know what to do.
This is exactly why Chapel is also a character who has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he has not been regarded as the hero's main reason in the systematic evaluation of the heart of the dynasty: commanding power Not enough. When such an urgent need for the coach to come up with an idea, he lacks a decisive decision.
Now, there are two paths ahead of him: one is to prepare to fight and withdraw, but this choice is very risky. In the dark, if a retreat is ordered, when this kind of battle is still going on, who knows whether the retreat will be directly defeated by the enemy? It is easy to order, and it really wants to be defeated, that is, the gods can't save them.
The other way is to stick to this situation and look forward to Dane's support as soon as possible. But this is also a risk. Who knows when the previous Guards and Light Infantry Regiments will collapse? Who knows how long the White Wolf Guard can stay on the battlefield? What's even harder to figure out is when will Dane support him? Without addressing these issues, Chapel could not convince himself to make that choice.
And relatively speaking, no matter what choices he makes, the last force in his hand that has not yet been used-the White Wolf Cavalry Brigade that has roamed on the edge of the battlefield is a force that must be relied on. How does this team put into use, Chapel has not yet figured out.
He now feels how stressful it can be to be a sole coach. From following Moore's side to fighting with Dane later, he has become accustomed to obeying the command line, but rarely has the responsibility of being the coach himself. It was also at this time that he did not realize that he did not have this talent.
But what's the point of trying to understand this? Now, he has such a responsibility on his shoulders, and he cannot escape if he wants to escape.
Just as he hesitated to make up his mind, another change took place on the battlefield. Chapel and Quincy's worst worry has happened—under the constant pressure of the infantry in the Chaos City, the defending legion in the night seems to be unable to withstand this pressure.
Under the bright moon, Chapel saw vaguely a few soldiers of the garrison, abandoned the position, and turned to be a deserter.
This is a very dangerous sign!
This signal, even if Chapel's commanding ability is low, he can see it!
Although there are only a few squadrons of soldiers at the moment, it is conceivable that after these soldiers abandon their positions, the chain effect will be very bad ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It won't take long because of these soldiers' defeat Driven by, the subsequent defensive positions will also gradually retreat, from the squadron to the squadron, to the entire team ... A major defeat has been shown.
"Colonel, shall we withdraw?" Quincy said anxiously.
"Can't withdraw!" It seems that Chapel made a choice, "It can't be withdrawn."
Fortunately, Chapel has n’t gotten home yet. Before that, before the garrison and light infantry regiment, which accounted for the largest number of troops in the army, had not collapsed, if they had used the power of the wolf cavalry, they might still have to fight and withdraw Opportunity, but now it is gone. As long as he dares to order the White Wolf Guard to withdraw, there is almost a 90% chance that the White Wolf Guard will be brought into the rhythm of defeat by the other troops in the defeat.
And if ordered to stand still, with the quality of the White Wolf Guards, they may still be able to fight for a while.
Finally, Chapel issued the correct command: "Rock me the drums and let the White Wolf Guard stay in position. Unless the last soldier is killed, you must not take a half step back! Quincy, follow me, I will take it myself Charge the White Wolf Cavalry! "
"Yes!" (To be continued.)
