Chapter 970: "·Stalemate phase"

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; in any case, you have to forgive them.
Sister Teresa (a world-renowned Catholic charity worker who established the Renai Missionary Church)
Two thousand mad southern cavalry, which successfully disrupted the formation of the other eight thousand northern cavalry, and broke the northern cavalry's containment of the Kirkwall camp's north and south exits; the unprepared northern cavalry, after losing more than a thousand cavalry, decisively Retreat selected.
It was not that the Northern Cavalry who had the absolute superiority did not want to suppress the rebellion of the Southern Cavalry on the spot, but that they were wearing the same armor as the Southern Cavalry and could not recognize who was the Southern Cavalry and who was the Northern Cavalry; in such cases, they How to suppress?
Southern cavalry stunned by hatred is not necessary. They do not have the concept of being merciless, and regardless of whether the other party is the same as the southern cavalry's robe or the innocent northern cavalry lying on the gun, they directly pierce the spear in their hands. chest.
It is undeniable that this kind of near-crazy attack has indeed caused a lot of accidental injuries to the southern cavalry themselves; but the casualties are even more serious, but the northern cavalry has four times more than the southern cavalry. Their number determines They are more likely to be attacked.
The rapid retreat of less than 7,000 northern cavalry created an opportunity for revenge for the remaining 1,500 southern cavalry; these red-eye-killing cavalrymen, after a short stay, went straight to the east of the enclosed camp The rebellious army of the East Road Army exported.
More than 27,000 southern infantry and more than 1,500 southern cavalry followed, causing extremely heavy casualties to the East Road Army that had not prepared for defense; the East Road Army soldiers with guilt were in front of them. The crazy attack on the southern fighters did not perform well.
On the one hand, because they felt guilty for killing their comrade-in-arms' family members, and understood the anger of the southern fighters; on the other hand, because their fighting power was indeed not as powerful as the mad southern fighters.
The elite soldiers of the East Route Army, while resisting the attack of the southern fighters, can still use their strong strength to barely block the offensive of the southern fighters. As for the ordinary fighters who are slightly less powerful, they even have the opportunity to escape. If not, be beheaded.
The extremely cruel and battle lasted a whole day, and the garrison of the Kirkwall camp, which was reduced from the protagonist to the supporting role, was completely in a state of coercion; they simply did not understand why the aggressive enemy Will kill each other.
In the barbarian world of the vast land, whenever night falls, no matter how fierce the battle will end, the same is true of this melee within the rebel army; the one-day battle of the rebel army of the north and south, exhausted Yu then retreated backward.
The rebel army of more than six thousand fallen soldiers, the direction of their retreat, naturally the position where Gregory is located; only the southern soldiers of more than 22,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry are facing the gate The closed door of the Kirkwall camp was withdrawn.
Yang Xi Yamashita, who had been ready to receive these southern soldiers for a long time, handed over the responsibility of collecting more than 23,000 southern soldiers to Xiachuan Pinggong, who was the commander-in-chief's outer defense line; because only Xiachuan Pinggong was Have enough strength to control this batch of fighters.
Xiachuan Ping Gong, who ordered to open the camp door to meet the southern soldiers, did not allow these southern soldiers to enter the camp directly; instead, the empty space between the two wooden wall defense lines of the camp was reserved for the southern soldiers entering the camp as a temporary Anza point .
At the same time, in order to avoid the overthinking of more than 23,000 southern fighters who came over, Yang Xi Yamashita also authorized these southern fighters to enter the camp to find their family members after handing over their weapons, and stay in their family’s residence Overnight.
Of course, these southern warriors, who are quite capable, must stay overnight and return to their temporary Anza point to pick up their weapons and fight for the guard camp; this is not the order that Yamashita Yangxi gave them. It is what they should do to guard their homes.
In fact, Yamashita’s deployment in this area was purely groundless; because after today’s chaotic battle, Gregory’s 100,000 troops have gone from ten to four or five, but the number of defenders at the Kirkwall camp It was increased once.
It was not until midnight that Gregory, who had gathered the soldiers, found that the number of soldiers under his command had been reduced from the previous 100,000 to 52,000; the rebellion of 32,000 southern soldiers and the death of 18,000 northern soldiers , Gave Gregory a heavy blow.
Although less than 12,000 of the 18,000 northern warriors who died in battle were actually killed outside the Kirkwall camp, the other 6,000 were the casualties of the Eastern Army yesterday; however, the reality before Gregory was Yes, his remaining strength was unable to capture the rebel camp.
Today, Gregory is still in a state of guessing the size of the rebel army and the soldiers' ability; of course, even if there is not enough information support, Gregory, a famous Lucy general, can still roughly estimate The size of the rebel army.
According to Gregory's speculation, the rebels with a camp population of no more than 700,000 will not have more than one hundred thousand soldiers available; it is these 100,000 rebel soldiers who have left behind the old and weak women and children with poor combat effectiveness. Young soldiers will not exceed 40,000.
Judging from this comparative figure, Gregory's 52,000 soldiers may not have the possibility of capturing the rebel camp; but the point of the problem is that today's things, while weakening the strength of the counterinsurgency, also increase the rebels More than 20,000 elite warriors.
In this way, the number of rebels in the defensive camp will reach 70 to 80,000, excluding the inestimable army of old and weak women and children that can be used to assist the defense of the city walls; What did Gregory continue to attack?
The attack on Gregory, who was already hopeless, did not rush to lead the army to retreat backwards, or send a messenger to ask the leader for help; because Gregory had a 7,000 elite cavalry in hand, but the rebels trapped in the camp There is no equivalent cavalry force.
This means that if the rebels trapped in the camp want to break through, then the elite cavalry units of the rebel army will become the decisive force that will hit the rebels; as long as the main rebels are hit hard, the rebels will attack the rebel camps. Attacking becomes possible again.
In view of this, Gregory, who did not intend to continue his offensive, left the army outside the Kirkwall camp in this way, relying on his superior cavalry troops to block the rebels lacking cavalry strength in the camp.
According to Gregory, the total population of nearly 700,000 will inevitably consume the food looted by the rebels in a short period of time; by then, the rebels who have consumed all the food will have to leave the camp voluntarily in order to survive .
The rebels who stayed in the camp had no intention of taking the initiative, and the rebel army surrounding the camp wanted to wait for the rebels to leave the camp; so, the terrible and unusual camp offensive and defensive that should have been fought, only after a day, entered a confrontation with each other. stage.
