Chapter 1719: ""

"Report!" A member of the teenager who was in charge of observing the battle on the southern camp wall ran all the way to Agis to report: "General Qi Yun, the defensive position where the 20,000 soldiers of the infantry battalion is stationed has been completely eliminated by the enemy cavalry. breakthrough!"
"How about the casualties of the infantry battalion?"
"By the end of the report, the infantry battalion's battle damage was about 3,000; but with the successive loss of several lines of defense around the position, the infantry battalion lost its support is in a worrying situation!"
"Where is the army under Prince Chichi now?"
"The cavalry of the Crown Prince Chi was mostly dragged by the two-wing troops of the Mongolian cavalry, and the only cavalry cluster that returned to the infantry battalion failed to break the three-sided siege of the infantry battalion by the Mongolian cavalry."
"Honike's cavalry battalion has attacked?"
"Honike Commander and his cavalry battalion haven't played yet." The teenager thought a little, adding: "However, at the end of the battle, several squadrons of cavalry battalions have been found on the edge of the battlefield. Honeike Commander should be waiting for the opportunity to fight. "
Agis knew in his heart that no matter how bad the situation looked on the south battlefield, as long as the cavalry battalion of Honeike had not participated in the war, it meant that the battle had not reached an unprecedented level, and he did not need to use his precious and valuable hands. Limited reserve power.
"Continue to pay close attention to the situation on the southern front, and report to the cavalry battalion as soon as it joins the battle!"
"promise!"
After watching the young man leave quickly, Aegis turned his attention to the still fierce battle on the northern front.
At this time, the four wings of the heavy-strike battalion under Vassner's headquarters had bypassed the phalanx corps positions that were fighting fiercely with the enemy, and intercepted Timugar for the second time hundreds of meters north of the battlefield. Two additional cavalry clusters.
The Roman heavy infantry of the heavy infantry battalion is much stronger than the Roman youth army of the infantry battalion, but the enemy offensive they face is also stronger than that of the southern Roman youth army; because they take the initiative, they have nothing to do Relying on defensive positions.
In the field, the infantry is used against the cavalry. Unless it is a special infantry of the Phalanx regiment that completely abandons mobility and has a single applicability for the cavalry, even elite troops like the Roman heavy infantry still need to pay extremely heavy. cost.
The Roman heavy infantry who met the enemy with the standard three battle arrays, even the javelins that were ready to be thrown in their hands, had not yet been thrown out. The rushing Mongolian cavalry cluster had fired a burst of arrows to the Roman heavy infantry who was waiting for it.
Not a dense arrow rain, the coverage is not particularly wide, but the lethality is really amazing.
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!..." A Roman heavy infantry captain holding a shield against arrow rain in his hand, looking at a line of enemy arrows shooting directly through his shield, blurted out in shock: "Broken Armor!"
The Mongolian cavalry's ability to mount and shoot is already strong. Coupled with the armor-breaking arrows that are extremely powerful against heavy armor and shields, in just two or three rounds of arrow rain, one or two hundred heavy Roman infantry lost their combat power under the arrow rain.
The armor-piercing arrows fired by the Mongolian cavalry did indeed bring a lot of casualties to the Roman heavy infantry who were not prepared for this, but they did not disturb the formation of the Roman heavy infantry, let alone affect the fighting will of the Roman heavy infantry. .
When the turbulent Mongolian cavalry cluster rushed to a position only 50 meters away from the Roman heavy infantry array, the Roman heavy infantry who still had a high fighting will threw out their javelins.
In a short distance, the javelin's lethality is much stronger than that of the armor piercing arrow. The row of Mongolian cavalry rushing in the forefront, even the horses and horses were shot into hedgehogs by this round of javelin rain, but this did not stop the Mongolian cavalry. Cluster charge.
Before and after a few breathing efforts, the Roman heavy infantry was strangled with the Mongolian cavalry cluster; just the Mongolian cavalry cluster with more troops, while fighting directly with the Roman heavy infantry, launched the battle against the Roman heavy infantry from both wings. Offense.
The Roman heavy infantry who fell into the enemy's attack on three sides as soon as the battle started, did not panic like ordinary troops. They battled and adjusted their formations on one side, facing the attacking enemy forces on three sides, and slowly contracting the formation on the other side, improving their own enemy. The army’s strength density reduces its combat contact with the enemy.
The four heavy-strike battalions have a total strength of more than 16,000 points. In contrast, the two Mongolian cavalry clusters attacking not only have a total strength of more than 20,000, but also mostly Mongolian cavalry. The number of ordinary Mongolian cavalry is not a lot of.
With the passage of time, it can almost be regarded as a battlefield for fighting against each other. In the situation that the Yuetuo Department and the Seles Division have doubled or even twice the strength of the enemy, Mongolia is at a disadvantage. The cavalry pressed with various tactics.
The three Mongolian cavalry clusters attacking the three barbarian phalanx corps did not have an advantage in the engagement with the phalanx corps; the phalanx corps that had twice the strength of the enemy and were highly targeted should have been the superior, but the enemy With the fierce cooperation of the Mongolian Jingqi and the ordinary Mongolian cavalry, the army is difficult to separate the victory between the two armies for a while.
The Baiyintuo Army, which was originally cruising on the left of the North Army Camp, took the initiative to join the battle because the situation on the southern battlefield was too severe. With the timely appearance of this new force, the Roman Youth Army of the infantry battalion This stabilized their precarious line of defense.
The anxious fight on the battlefield is actually moving in a direction that is more beneficial to the Northern Expedition; because over time, the Northern Expeditionary Army with superior strength can support longer, while Mongolia is at a disadvantage. The military is the opposite.
More importantly, whether it is the Mongolian army on the northern battlefield or the Mongolian army on the southern battlefield, they have already invested all of their strength. In contrast, in the North Army, even if it is not a cavalry battalion that has not yet entered the battle. Ten thousand Roman legionary cavalry, Agis also has 20,000 elite infantry and nearly 30,000 cavalry reserves.
Near noon, the soldiers who had fought to death for two or three hours were almost exhausted; even the Mongolian Jingqi, which has always been known for its perseverance, is gradually declining in combat effectiveness, but it is only a smaller range than ordinary Mongolia. The cavalry is much slower.
The possible reinforcements of the Mongolian army have never appeared on the battlefield. If you continue to wait, it means that Ajisi must watch his casualties getting worse and worse, which is undoubtedly unacceptable for the first time. of.
As a result, the army of the Urgudai Division, which was divided into five in the morning, was sent to the northern battlefield by Ajis; among them, three cavalry reinforced the defensive positions adhered to by the barbarian phalanx, and the two cavalry reinforced separately The four-wing battalion of the heavy step camp.
