Chapter 114 Armored Beast
As a powerful supplement to the early strike weapons, the catapults and continuous crossbows, which were originally used to siege and suppress the opponent's long-range strike weapons, were also used on the position to fight. A large number of giant catapults gathered at the back of the spearmen, while the continuous crossbows directly increased the elevation angle and position so that they could more effectively give the opponent's heavy cavalry to directly strike.
The light cavalry were arranged on both sides to carry out the final blow in a battle, while not many heavy cavalry in Western Xinjiang did not show up. No one knew when this fierce force composed of armored cavalry and armored unicorns would appear. However, in the eyes of the Puer people, the heavy cavalry in Western Xinjiang was still amateur level compared to their armored cavalry. To break through the heavy infantry array that they were not weaker than Gaoyue infantry, it was purely a fantasy.
Kamapov's dark face did not have a trace of expression. As the commander of the Eastern Front War, it was perfect to successfully drag the 200,000 Puer's army into a trap to this point. Although the Puer has now realized that the general situation is not good, it is like an iron cow lying in the mud. If they want to escape from this encirclement, they will not be transferred by their will. The continuous struggle for several days has caused the Puer to fall into despair. The encirclement is getting tighter and thicker, just like a noose strangling around their necks. The Puer feels breathless.
Kamapov did not want to confront the opponent, especially after learning that Liang Chongxin's Northern Line army had successfully dragged the Kaman Guards west of Fanlin, his mind became more and more obvious. In addition to constantly strengthening fortifications, only a few rangers could be sent to battle, constantly harassing guerrillas and taking advantage of their powerful maneuverability to avoid a head-on decisive battle with the Pours, which was enough to wear out the patience of the Pours.
For Kunbo, these are not the most deadly problems. Seeing that the food is getting less and less day by day, due to the Kamans' breach of trust, the Kaman army, which came to pick up and bring supplies, no longer has any news. Kunbo has realized that the Kamans are afraid of being in danger. If he does not make a decision, he will follow in the footsteps of the Kamans. If he wants to break through the siege, his only hope is that the tens of thousands of armored cavalry in his hands. Only by relying on them to completely defeat the camp of the Western Xinjiang Army from the front and completely defeat the confidence of the Western Xinjiang people. Only by achieving such a complete victory can he have a chance to escape. Otherwise, according to the current small-scale battle that is not painful, it will be a few days before his soldiers will have to go on hungry.
A head-on battle seemed to have become the only choice for the Puer people, and the opponent chose this method to end the grudges between the two sides in an unusual way, which surprised Kunbo, but the arrow was on the string, Kunbo had no other choice at this time. Even if there was a cliff ahead, he could only rush forward with his teeth.
Kamapov also had indescribable difficulties. The message from the war zone was that the Sisro people were about to intervene in negotiations, and the Purs were also mobilizing a large scale for their 200,000 troops that were trapped in a heavy siege. These two news forced Kamapov to change his strategy and fight in advance. However, Kamapov was also very satisfied. The morale of the Purs has been wiped out by his side to a dangerous level. The presence of heavy cavalry and armored unicorns also added some confidence in Kamapov. According to the secret letter sent by His Highness the King of Qin, Western Xinjiang cannot tolerate the departure of the main force of Purs in an established manner. The meaning of this sentence made Kamapov officially make up his mind to fight.
The battle with the hope of the head coaches of both sides finally started in the early morning. Both sides chose heavy cavalry as a killer move to break through the opponent's defense line and attack the opponent's confidence. However, the Puer people with 60,000 heavy cavalry chose to break through from the front, hoping to use the violent and fierce offensive of the iron armored cavalry to directly defeat the Western Xinjiang army's camp. Kamapov placed the unicorn armored beast and the third division of the Third Legion on the right flank and swept across the northwest, with five thousand independents.
Although the assault cavalry led by the horned armored beast is slightly slower in its activation speed, launching an attack from the right flank can force the Pull people to quickly change their formation and can more fully utilize the explosive power of the unicorn armored beast. The decisive battle between the two sides depends on the breakthrough ability of their respective heavy-armored cavalry and the defense ability of the heavy-armored infantry. Whoever can attack the opponent faster and more fiercely and who can resist the opponent's charge more tenaciously will be able to dominate the victory or defeat of the battle.
As the commander of the unicorn armored beast, Becre was the first time to participate in such a war. To be honest, he was also the first time to participate in a real battle. Although the thousands of men under his command were instructed to control unicorns, it was not training or exercise, but a real actual battle, a decisive battle to kill people. To say that he was not nervous was to deceive himself, but seeing his men's men's fearless eyes looked at him, the blood and arrogance surged in Becre's chest suddenly diluted the tension a lot.
As the spike pierced into the unicorn's thick batch, the unicorn that was suffering from crotch finally began to start. The heavy cavalry on both wings had already made way for the armored beasts that had always served as concealed. Unexpectedly, the first encounter was with the Pooles, not the imagined Kaman heavy infantry, which disappointed Becre a little. However, I heard that Poole heavy infantry is no less than Kaman, Becre really wanted to see whether the so-called indestructible heavy infantry phalanx can withstand the roaring beast under his crotch.
The soil on the Yunan Plain in the middle of winter was frozen as solid as iron. The footprints of the unicorn armored beasts were still two inches deep. The hard mud immediately became ragged in front of the nearly ravaged steps of these monsters. When five thousand armored beasts surged across the earth, you could not believe what kind of destructive power it would turn such a land into such a miserable state.
When the attack waves composed of countless unicorn armored beasts slowly appeared at the edge of the Poole heavy infantry who had been waiting for it, no one expected that the heavy cavalry from Western Xinjiang would come so slowly that the Puer infantry even doubted whether the heavy cavalry of the Western Xinjiang Army would be famous.
But when strange roars came from the faster and faster cavalry group, it seemed that someone realized that the cavalry that was exposed to them was not what they imagined.
"God! What is that?!"
"Hoho, mom, what's there? The herd of bison? What's going on?"
"What's going on? Where did the herd of bison come from?"
"Don't you go bad! What herd of bison?! That's the unicorn group of Baiyinren! Report to the captain of the ten thousand men!"
"Stay steady! Hold on, hold on! Don't panic! It's no big deal to deal with heavy cavalry!"
"Don't get rid of your own position! Keep the formation and prepare according to the horse-spray! Prepare to throw the gun!"
The heavy infantry in the Puer, who was arranged in a neat defensive formation, experienced a slight commotion, and even the earth shook. Like the appearance of monsters in another world, the black armored unicorn rumbled and crushed over like a tide. The thick unicorn was exposed outside the thick armor. The warriors sitting on the unicorn were also covered with armor. The hideous helmet covered their faces tightly, but only a pair of eyes flashed with a faint dark light in the morning light.
The two black lines finally merged together at that moment. The sharp cavalry rifle seemed so fragile in front of the armored unicorn. It either broke through or flew to the side. The unicorn, which was already thick and thick in skin, was wrapped in thick iron leaf armor, like a moving steel monster. The poor Poole heavy infantry had never seen such a violent armored beast. The armored unicorn weighing a thousand pounds with its huge inertia and inferior body to the sword and gun, was like a huge and heavy hammer crazily hitting the anvil of the Poole infantry. The once extremely strong heavy infantry phalanx seemed so fragile in front of this charge formation that could not be stopped by human power. It changed from one place to two, from many places to one piece, from one piece to one line, and gradually spread to the entire infantry phalanx.
Seeing his spear and halberd helplessly stab the armored beast, the other party was completely unharmed. The armored warrior holding the double-edged giant axe would always bring countless blood lights every time he swung it. Although this was not enough to make the brave and warlike Pull soldiers retreat, but when facing the impact and trampling of a thousand-pound body, no one could maintain his position. It was like a pot of water gradually boiling, slowly but irreversibly boiling, and eventually turned into noisy boiling water.
The formation of the Puer people gradually began to shake and collapse, allowing the officers to scold and threaten in vain. However, facing the charge and trampling of giants, the inherent wave of fear finally defeated the military discipline embankment. When a square formation began to collapse, this phenomenon immediately spread to the surrounding square formations. Countless infantry square formations were pushed by their defeated soldiers, one by one, one by one, wherever the defeated soldiers rushed, they began to scatter. The 100,000 troops were shaken.
The armored cavalry, which followed the armored beast, completed the pincer attack operation just right. For the already broken infantry formation, the charge of the armored cavalry was simply the king of hell that bought people's lives. He chopped the sword and axe, and slapped the spear and hooves, like a huge tide of collapse. The soldiers in chaos swarmed back and avoided and fled. Countless soldiers fell at the feet of their comrades before they even saw the faces of the enemy in front. It was like a huge millstone that started slowly, but the speed was getting faster and faster, and eventually evolved into a vigorous collapse.
