Chapter 879: "·Destroyed"


Freedom is at the starting point, it is not something that can be obtained at the end.
Krishnamurti (the most outstanding spiritual teacher in the 20th century)
The squadron on the front of the Spartan Army consists of four phalanx squadrons. Each phalanx wing administers two phalanx squadrons, a total of eight phalanx squadrons; the two wings of the red flag cavalry killed, let the column Onida had to mobilize two brigades to deploy to the flank.
With a spear brigade as the core and an elite infantry wing as the auxiliary flank defense, it was established on the two wings of the Spartan regiment rifle defense; the long archers of the two wing teams were protected in the middle of the three defense lines.
During the establishment of the two-winged defense line, the longbowmen in motion could not maintain their arrow rain offensive; the yellow flag cavalry who took the opportunity to launch a large-scale violent charge caused a considerable loss to the rifle phalanx with a sudden increase in defensive pressure.
The cost of the death of more than three hundred pikemen, the result of the battle is only to defeat the four waves of the yellow flag cavalry, and the left body of the yellow flag cavalry is less than a thousand; this proportion of casualties, on the defense For the phalanx of lances, it is already a high-level casualty.
Shulhazy, who still has 10,000 yellow flag cavalry in his hands, has been observing the combat mode of the Spartan Army; he did not start using his hands until he confirmed that the tactics proposed by Dorgon were effective. The last ten thousand yellow flag cavalry.
At this time, Murhazi’s 20,000 red flag cavalry had wiped out the Spartan Legionary Light Cavalry who had desperately stopped them; a lance phalanx of 512 pikemen, supplemented by a thousand elite infantry Cover, where can you stop the charge of tens of thousands of elite cavalry?
In contrast to the relatively low casualty ratio of the frontal pike phalanx, the rapidly rising casualty figures of the two-wing defensive soldiers; the aggressive red flag cavalry, attacking the dead with a nearly life-changing way The defensive line of wings.
The attack on three sides by the 20,000 red flag cavalry and the 10,000 yellow flag cavalry caused the Spartan legion, which was inadequate in strength, to be suppressed from moving on the battlefield; at this time, the 10,000 yellow flag cavalry attacked. It was the last straw that crushed the camel.
If this 10,000 yellow flag cavalry were really allowed to kill from the weakest rear of the Spartan legion; then the undefeated Spartan legion would be instantly torn apart by the yellow flag cavalry that entered into them. All the pike phalanx will quickly collapse.
The super-long spearmen who have lost the advantage of the phalanx will not be much more powerful than the elite infantry who are better at melee. The eight-flag elite cavalry, which is four times the number of Spartan soldiers, will easily have the Spartan army without resistance. All wiped out here!
Leonidas, as the main commander of the Spartan army, faced with the dangerous situation of his army, he was helpless and he could only wield the spear in his hand as much as possible to kill more enemy cavalry; more countermeasures , Is not what he can do.
As the commander of the army, Bai Feng naturally cannot watch the Spartan regiment annihilated by the Eight Banners cavalry; desperately, Bai Feng, the only army commanded by Bai Feng at present, has fallen into the siege of 60,000 Zheng Huangqi cavalry. .
The 60,000 Zheng yellow flag cavalry commanded by Dorgon directly surrounded the road from outside the Spartan Corps and launched a fierce attack on the Yulin Corps, which was waiting for the formation. The Yulin Corps, which was skilled in the use of shield wall tactics and the three-line battle array, Is not afraid of the attack of the Zhengqi cavalry.
Under Bai Feng’s personal command, Lopez’s 2nd Division, Bartrolli’s 4th Division, and Velmaaren’s 5th Division; the elite 30,000 Yulin Legion, using their shield wall advantages, formed A pointed battle front with a triangle.
The 60,000 Zhenghuangqi elite cavalry, which seems overwhelming, actually has less than 8,000 cavalry that can be put into a frontal attack; the triangle battle array temporarily constructed by 30,000 Yulin elite can be attacked at the same time is very limited.
No matter how elaborate the cavalry of Zhenghuangqi is, it is impossible to attack the triangular battlefield of the Yulin Legion from the air and the ground; the limited attack area determines that the defensive strength of the Yulin Legion is very strong, and the Zhenghuang Qi The offensive force was weakened accordingly.
Some gains and losses must be achieved. Bai Feng, who was attacked by 60,000 positive yellow flag cavalry with a triangular battle array, was unable to send two divisions that he had not yet put into battle to support the Spartan Corps; Order the Yulin Army to start fighting back!
Countering the aggressive cavalry with infantry that defends the line of defense, this seems to be a self-defeating way; but there is really no better way, Bai Feng, can only save his hopes for the Spartan Legion in the Eight Banners cavalry without knowledge After three battles.
As for the reinforcements that should have arrived early on the battlefield, their delay has not appeared, and Bai Feng has begun to doubt their intentions; after all, the status of this support army is too special, even if they do not come, Bai Feng can't blame them for anything.
With Bai Feng's order, the three divisions forming the triangular battle array were instantly turned into zeros and transformed into small-scale combat units based on squadrons. Three hundred independent combat squadrons cooperated with each other. , To the enemy cavalry who was caught off guard.
At least 5,000 or so Yellow Horse cavalry who had a slight slack in the charge, were besieged by the highly flexible combat squadron before they could accelerate; the divisions of Hans and Borg took advantage of the enemy cavalry. Confusion, went straight to the Spartan army ahead.
The distance is about three miles, long or short, short for short, for the fully armed infantry, this is a journey that requires them to run for seven or eight minutes; obviously, there are still a large number of cavalry Dorgon. Will not give them these seven or eight minutes.
The first division of Hans and the third division of Borg, just rushed out less than 500 meters away, thousands of yellow flag cavalry rushed towards them; Hans and Borg, who were in a dilemma, had to stay stubbornly. Half of the generals resisted the cavalry who rushed up.
Half of their professed soldiers pushed forward 500 meters again, and then a group of thousands of large-scale yellow flag cavalry rushed up; then divided into soldiers, Hans and Borg, who were at risk of breaking one by one, can only lead the whole The army meets the enemy cavalry who rushed over.
After the reinforcements of Hans and Borg were frustrated, only Bai Feng of Leonardo Badminton United was left, and no more troops were sent to reinforce the Spartan Legion; when Bai Feng felt painful for his inability, a team The cavalry wearing silver-white armor appeared!
The 10,000 light knights of the Holy See arrived at the battlefield at the most critical time of the battle. The army of light knights commanded by Charlotte of the Son directly launched the fiercest against the yellow flag and red flag cavalry who besieged the Spartan army. Offensive.
The army of bright knights who fought against the Huangqi and Zhenghongqi cavalry clusters in a thunderous manner, easily defeated the 10,000 yellow flag cavalry who changed their way and blocked them in the midway, and then rushed into the enemy cavalry group, quickly Kill tens of thousands of cavalry!
The battle between the Light Knights and the Eight Banners elite cavalry is not a contest of magnitude; looking at all the clan forces on the entire continent, who can bring out tens of thousands of senior knights at once, I am afraid that there is only a deep and terrifying Holy See.
In the new and old eight flags, the fighting power is second only to the yellow flag and the red flag of the Zhenghuang flag. More than 35,000 cavalrymen can’t stop a wave of charge from the 10,000 light knights; therefore, from the moment they appeared, There is no longer any suspense in the victory or defeat of this decisive battle!
