Chapter 1717: ""

The main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the southern battlefield is the 20,000-strong Roman youth soldiers of the five winged infantry battalions that rely on the strong defense line on the spot; the total number of cavalry troops under the command of the imperial prince is up to 50,000 or 60,000, but it has become a Roman youth. Army's flanks assist.
With the emperor's edict from the emperor of the Dragon Empire, the prince Shuchi was unpretentious about his army's combat effectiveness not being recognized by Aegis, and there was even a hidden joy in the depths of his heart.
Divided into two divisions of the Prince of Chichi, the 32,000 cavalry distributed on the left wing of the Roman Youth Army, is composed of 22,000 cavalry from the Khulutuhan Division and 10,000 cavalry from the Alatan Division. It is the main force with the strongest fighting power under its command.
The princes of Chichi, who are distributed on the right wing of the Roman Youth Defense Line, are composed of four cavalry members of Dari Achi, Battle, Mozhgen, and Arizlan. The scale is not smaller than that of the left wing cavalry, but the combat strength But it is a lot worse.
The Chagatai and Wokuotai coalition forces, whose total strength is roughly equivalent to the defensive strength of the Northern Expeditionary Forces, are the overwhelming force of the whole army at the beginning of the war. This kind of attacking method that does not follow the common sense is not a novelty, but it is indeed true. Startled the defending generals.
The five wing soldiers belonging to the infantry battalion, under the command of their wing leader, entered the squadron (standard system team, a team of 160 Roman youths) as a unit, under the command of their respective squadron leaders. By now the defensive position was ready.
The Roman youths who were waiting for the battle lined up, holding the shield in their left and the javelin in their right, and came to their pre-prepared defensive position with a standard of 40 in a row to meet the enemy; now, they are blocked by three rows The first line of defense against horses.
The first line of defense composed of three rows of refusal horses is further out. It is a second line of defense composed of three pits with a depth of two meters and a width of about one meter. Afterwards, it is a dense area covered with Tribulus terrestris. These They are all weapons for infantry against cavalry.
Unlike the Roman youth army, which had a defensive position as a support and a strict line of waiting, the two wings of the imperial princes who were also cavalry, and they found that a cluster of nearly 30,000 enemy cavalry rushed towards them, they also began immediately let's move.
The battle between cavalry and cavalry is completely different from the battle between infantry and cavalry, and there is no passive defense.
The prince Shuchi, who was originally commanded by the left wing, also withdrew from the rear of Alatan and Khulu Lord under his own command, and withdrew under the hundreds of elite guards under his command.
The cavalry cluster of the imperial prince who was charged by the enemy's two-wing assault cluster and launched the charge. When the enemy cluster was less than two miles away, he suddenly found that the enemy cluster in front of them began to be divided into three and directly divided. More than half of the troops went around on both sides.
In the face of the sudden change of the enemy's charge cluster, Alatan, Battle, and others who almost had no time to respond, although splitting the two armies, made the same choice by accident: continue to charge at full speed to the oncoming enemy!
The tribal patriarchs and generals under the princes such as Alatan, Battle, and so on did not know that the cavalry of more than 10,000 enemy troops who continued to rush towards them were all ordinary Mongolian cavalry under Chahetai and Wokuotai, and separated from the two wings. The nearly 20,000 enemy cavalry is a Mongolian Jingqi with unparalleled combat effectiveness.
From the perspective of Alatan, Battle, and other generals in the grasslands, as long as the total strength of the enemy and our opponents is roughly equal, the impact of the presence of the divisions on the battle situation is extremely limited; even most of the time, such divisions of surprise attack to expand the results The combat method is not as realistic as concentrating its forces to defeat the enemy forces at a disadvantage.
The distance of two miles is just a blink of an eye for the two cavalry who charged at full speed, and the rain of arrows ready for each other has already fallen on the other's head.
After two or three rounds of rapid shooting, the Mongolian cavalry of the 30,000 Chahetai and Wokuotai headquarters and the Mongolian cavalry under the command of nearly 60,000 princes of Chichi were killed together; the numerical superiority, coupled with the lack of the enemy Mongolian Jingqi , So that the two forces of the imperial princes with relatively weaker fighting power occupy a slight advantage.
Among the Mongolian cavalry who attacked the defensive position of the Roman Youth Forces in the front, the thousands of cavalry who led the army's offensive at the forefront of the Mongolian cavalry of the 30,000 Chagatai and Wokuotai stations were the most powerful cavalry on the Mongolian Empire and the entire grassland. —Mongolian Jingqi!
The 30,000 cavalry cavalry who rushed to the position of the Roman Youth Army like a black wave suddenly split in half from the position of the Roman Youth Army position covered with iron tribulus, and turned one. It seemed incredible to anyone. Bend.
The Roman Youth Army, who was waiting in line, watched the enemy cavalry clusters flow towards them like a surging tide, and they quickly retreated like the tide when the tide was low, but there was no way because the javelin in their hands was really in range limited.
Fortunately, the shields in the hands of the Roman youth army were still large and solid, and the listed formations were not dense. The Mongolian cavalry cluster shot arrows and rain while turning their heads, but only made their formation a little chaotic. How much casualties they caused.
A little confusion can be recovered in just a few minutes of adjustment, but the captains of the various coalitions are still ugly, especially the two captains of the first and fifth wing on the left and right sides of the defensive position.
No one thought that the two Mongolian cavalry clusters that had passed from the two-wing battlefield did not stay on the two-wing battlefield, but left the two-wing battlefield and launched an attack on the two wings of the defensive position of the Roman Youth Army.
Although the captains of the Roman Youth Union in the defensive position did not know that the enemy troops rushing towards them from both wings were genuine Mongolian Jingqi, but even two clusters of ordinary Mongolian cavalry charged against the weak flanks of Rome For the youth army, this level of attack is still unbearable for them.
Unlike the three lines of defense on the frontal position, the Roman Youth Army flank has only two lines of defense, one is an inner line of defense composed of only one layer of refusal horses, and the other is an outer line of defense covered with Tribulus terrestris, but it has fewer cavalry. The most lethal trapped horse pit.
What is even more worrying is that the defensive positions of the Roman Youth Army can only have three camps at most. The rear of the 20,000 Roman Youth Army stationed in them is almost undefended; and the two Mongolian cavalry who came around to attack their flanks, Only need to break through their relatively fragile flanking defense line, they can directly attack their undefended rear.
Faced with such a dilemma, the helpless First and Fifth United Captains can only use their forces other than the soldiers on the frontal defense line to use them to urgently strengthen the two-wing defense to deal with the enemy forces that are about to rush over. Cluster.
