Chapter 252: "·The Battle of Leer·Next"

People should be caressed, or they should be wiped out; because people have been slightly violated and able to retaliate, but for major damage, they are powerless to retaliate. Therefore, our infringement of a person should be an infringement that we need not fear that they will retaliate.
-Nicolo Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)
In the Eastern League during the rise, the few powerful tribes can naturally work together to deal with the enemy, but after these years of rapid expansion, it is almost impossible for the Eastern League to achieve the same goal.
The internal struggles have turned the Eastern Alliance into a chaotic organization; if the three powerful tribes suppress the other tribes, the so-called Eastern Alliance has long been dissolved into a historical term.
Even the suppression of the three major tribes cannot fundamentally change the status quo in the Eastern Alliance. Because the three major tribes also have deep-rooted contradictions, their suppression is nothing more than suppressing the opposing tribes.
The reason why the Eastern Alliance can gather all the troops of the 18 tribes to jointly deal with the Western Union of Veriasius is purely out of the fear of the Eastern League against the Western Union. After all, the Western Union is powerful. well known.
It is a pity that the word unity will never be used by the different Eastern Alliance tribes; for example, at this time, sitting on the enemy Wockley tribe on both sides of the Dart tribe, they chose to watch the Dad with the help of the soldiers. The tribe is under siege.
From the perspective of the leader of the Wockley tribe, the Eastern Union with the two strong powers is always better than the three decentralized Eastern Unions. As for the fall of Western Lu, is it possible that the army of 400,000 Eastern Unions can only fight about 150,000 Did the west of Lu fall into the army?
Even if the 50,000 elite of the Dart tribe were all wiped out by the Western Lu, and even the entire army of 100,000 soldiers was wiped out, the remaining 300,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance were enough to defeat the western Lu. This is the idea of ​​the leader of the Wockley tribe.
What's more, the 50,000 elite of the Dart tribe are not an unstoppable garbage army. Even if they are unavoidable, they can definitely cause heavy casualties to the army in the west of Lu, which can give the Eastern Alliance troops behind. Less stress.
But is it really as beautiful as the leader of the Wockley tribe imagined? The answer must be no! After Gregory's elite army of 40,000 launched an attack on the chaotic army of Mullen from the flanks, Roderick's frontal attack also became fiercer.
The dilemma of the Dart tribe, which was in a dilemma, suffered heavy casualties, but did not fall into a collapse; under the command of the chief, Mullen, they violently resisted the violent attacks of the two roads of the west of Lu, and won the rectification of the friendly forces in the rear. time.
After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the mid-road army commanded by Mullen finally stabilized the formation; the elite Dart tribe warriors were still fighting at the forefront of the battlefield, and the soldiers of the other three tribes in the back also took up the battle. The important task of flanking enemy forces.
However, all of this comes at a price. At this time, the 120,000 elite of Roderick and Gregory have less than 100,000 soldiers, and the 100,000 army under Marlen is less than 50,000. It is the elite of the Dart tribe, the number has dropped to less than 20,000!
Compared with more than half of the casualties of the Central Army, the right wing army of the Eastern League is much more fortunate; Hall’s 40,000 elite division and the Eastern League’s 100,000 army have fought for nearly three hours, and the two sides are still in anxious battle. Fighting hard.
In this battlefield that shouted to kill Zhentian, the Eastern Alliance with an absolute superiority and 200,000 troops have not entered the battle; in addition to the left-wing army of the Wockley tribe, the 100,000 troops of the seven tribes as backup reinforcements There is also no war.
The leaders of the Eastern Alliance mistakenly thought that all the troops in the western part of Lusi had already entered the battle. What they did not know was that the 40,000 elite cavalry led by Veriasius had slowly surrounded the Eastern Alliance from the battlefield. The rear!
All the attention was focused on the Eastern Alliance tribes who were decisively fighting the west of Lu, and no one found the 40,000 cavalry under the command of Veliasius; until Veliasius slowly brought the cavalry to the Eastern Alliance Reserve. Within a thousand kilometers, they discovered all this.
But at this time, everything was too late. After realizing that the trail of his cavalry was exposed, Veriasius immediately issued a command to charge the whole army; the distance of one kilometer is just right for the cavalry who is fully charged. It's just an accelerated distance.
When the tremendous movement of the local mountains and mountains came from the rear, I realized that the wrong Eastern Alliance tribes were too late to react; the Eastern Alliance reserve 100,000 troops quickly turned back to meet the enemy, and the Warkley tribe’s army also made an emergency turn. Reinforce the reserve army.
The rushing Lu Xilu elite cavalry, and violently rushed into the weakest army of the Eastern League. The weak reserve army could not stop the torrent of cavalry led by Veriasius, which was not stable. The formation was quickly overwhelmed.
Losing the formation as a backup army of dependence, it quickly fell into a collapse under the raging of the Lu Xiluo cavalry; the Lu Xiluo cavalry, which had been arrogant and cruel, trampled the life of the Eastern Alliance soldiers with their iron hooves.
In the flesh-and-blood battlefield, the cavalry of the west of Lu was the only protagonist, and the scattered Eastern Alliance soldiers were like ants fighting under the enemy's iron hooves; at this time, the Eastern Alliance army's quantitative advantage finally came into play.
The nearly collapsed Eastern Union reserve army only lasted for about 20 minutes. The 100,000 left-wing army, mainly composed of the 50,000 elite divisions of the Wockley tribe, finally rushed back and launched a cavalry for the western Luke. Fight back!
Hundreds of thousands of intensive infantry attacked less than 40,000 cavalry. The former could not defeat the latter at all, but it was enough to stop the latter's offensive momentum and rescue the friendly forces who fleeed under the hoof of the enemy cavalry.
The amazing Veliasius has organized four consecutive charges against the main forces of the Eastern League, and none of them can break through the defense organized by the Walkley tribe; the cavalry lost nearly half of the Veliasius, decisively gave up the attack, and directly Lead the army out of the battlefield.
Barbarian cavalry is only light cavalry who do not focus on armor. Their role on the battlefield is extremely limited; even Veriasius himself has to admit that his 40,000 cavalry can achieve such a record, almost already Miracle!
The Eastern Union’s 200,000 troops were attracted by the 40,000 cavalry, and it cost nearly 80,000 soldiers to repel the cavalry; from this perspective, the strategy of Veriasius has been unprecedented. Success.
If it were not for the selfishness of the Walkley tribe that left the Eastern League’s left wing army not in battle, Veriasius was confident that he could wipe out the Eastern League’s 100,000-strongest reserve army in one fell swoop, and then cooperate with other three-way forces to defeat the Eastern League’s three Road army.
