Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 5 Chapter 73: Battle of the 3 Danubes (12)
Xi Sugu believed from the beginning that his judgment was correct. This was not because he was blindly confident, but because he knew the bad situation facing the enemy.
It is obviously unacceptable for Alexander to give up his position, but if he sticks to it, once the front encounters a violent attack, then the choice of the Montina army is only to shrink the formation and form a tight defense.
The shore of the Alger River is a little far away from Bucharest, and Sisu Valley has given up to go deeper, so that he does not have to worry about the threat from Bucharest.
The order of the Sudan is obvious. He hopes not only to defeat the enemy beautifully, but also to use the victory of a large-scale annihilation battle as the prelude to the surrounding Lara Bucharest.
Xi Sugu feels that he can complete this order of the Sudan, especially after receiving the news that a large number of apparently elite reserve teams appeared on the enemy's position, Xi Sugu determined that Alexander had truly become a good meal in his plate.
The Montina army apparently has put the final force into the battlefield, which means that they will no longer have any chips that can be used to reverse the situation.
However, the Anatolian light cavalry in Sisu Valley occupies a huge advantage of mobility and flexibility, which allows him to still cleverly use the rapid and agile advantages of cavalry to make the Montina people passive.
At this time, Xi Sugu felt that it was almost the same. The battle was unexpectedly not smooth. The enemies who thought they could be eliminated in only one afternoon, but they dragged on for so long, which made Xi Sugu somewhat annoyed.
"Order the light cavalry to march behind the enemy positions. I will cut them into pieces of cheese." Xi Sugu finally gave the order that should have been issued long ago. Although the order seemed to be late, he was still satisfied. "Frank People almost embarrassed me to win. "
Xi Sugu told the people around him that when he heard the people around him immediately complimenting and degrading the Europeans on the opposite side, General Ottoman shook his head: "No, this Earl of Montina is indeed somewhat difficult to deal with, at least this person The opponents we met before were much more cunning, but he failed in the end. "
Xi Sugu said with a soft sigh, but looked a bit lonely because he had no opponent.
The Ottoman cavalry began to detour towards the back of the Montina position. When they quickly passed the position formed by the trench and the antlers, they immediately made a chilling roar.
A team of Ottoman cavalry suddenly reversed their direction after passing the Genoa Sword and Shield flat. They quickly ran along the side of the Sword and Shield formation, while the Ottomans closest to the Sword and Shield soldiers saw the timing quickly Insert into the gap between the two teams due to haste.
The original Genoa Sword and Shield soldiers were finally driven. In order to prevent being detoured by the enemy, their formation began to gradually elongate with the direction of the Ottoman cavalry, and the gap between the queues became larger and larger.
When the gap widened enough to pose a threat, the Genoese commander finally discovered this terrible mistake.
But it was too late. When the Ottoman cavalry once again bypassed the Genoese flanks, they did not continue to advance further, but suddenly attacked the gap between the Genoese and the Pizza.
The Pisa regiment's position was in chaos, and the Pisa tried to block the enemy, but when they found that the Genoese on the other side of the position were far away from themselves, their tension immediately became terrified and shouted. In the sound, the pizza began to turn around desperately and fled backwards.
Xi Sugu happened to see this scene at this time, he saw his cavalry suddenly inserted into the enemy formation, and then the right wing of the Montina army suddenly fell into chaos.
"Bless God, we have won!" Xi Sugu exclaimed loudly. He has been waiting for this moment for some time, and now he finally sees the shadow of victory.
The Montina army has about 6,600 people, while the Ottoman army has nearly 10,000!
As long as there is a little common sense in this comparison, who knows where the advantage lies.
For the Montina army, the only way to make up for this rather disparate strength is to rely firmly on the position and terrain.
In this regard, the Danube, which was originally on the left of Montina, restricted their movement to the south, but it also served as a barrier to protect the entire left side of the Montina.
But now, when the Ottomans suddenly broke through the right wing with cavalry, the Montina army was immediately in danger of being completely surrounded.
The crisis on the right wing quickly spread to the entire front. Montina ’s army began to shake up. More and more troops began to retreat because of fear that their flanks might be exposed to the impact of enemy cavalry. They had been able to stabilize for a while. The persevering positions were abandoned.
Alexander stared closely at the right wing. Although he had prepared for the sudden danger before, when he really saw that the entire right wing was shaking, he was still nervous.
"Sir, the hunting guards have been sent out."
Hearing a small reminder from Busako, Alexander's mouth twitched with a wry smile. He knew that Busako was telling them that there was no reserve team available, and this time it was just a key force to stop the Ottoman cavalry.
"Tell the Hunting Guards that they are now defending the last line of defense." Alexander looked up to the sky again, and the sun's rays shot straight down from the top of his head. The hottest time of the day had already come.
Another team of hunting guards rushed towards the position, and the soldiers of the Pisa regiment could not help looking backwards, but they were quickly disappointed to find that these hunting guards were empty and nothing behind them.
"No one came to support us anymore!" A pizza soldier shouted in panic, and then suddenly turned around and ran away desperately. His action immediately impressed many people. The soldiers couldn't help but stare at each other, seemingly silent. Asked who would be the next person to escape.
With a "gun" shot, the soldier who fled fell to the ground, and a hunting guard officer with red feathers floating on his helmet held in front of the soldiers with his smoky rifle.
"Listen, the deserter will be punished the most severely!" The officer stared at the pizzas fiercely. "Don't forget that your family is in Pizza. Unless you will never be home, you will be a coward. Spread in Pisa. "
The soldiers stared at each other in amazement. They didn't seem to know what to do, but the shouting of the Ottoman cavalry in the distance made them frightened and overwhelmed.
"Keep up with the hunting guards, or you will be severely punished." The officer ordered his men to force the Pizza to have to turn around and return to the position, but even when he saw the figure of the Ottoman light cavalry, the Pizza could not help but chaos.
"Sir, they are not afraid of fighting, but they don't know how to fight!" A Pisa officer rushed in front of the hunting guard officer. "We Pisa are brave, but at least someone has to command us."
"Oh, that's why you ran away?" The sergeant officer responded sarcastically, waving his saber and commanding his men to force the pizza into formation. "You are an officer, why don't you perform your duties?"
"I'm just a temporary team officer. In fact, I won't fight." Nikolai Joe Mazzini shouted anxiously. "I'm an accountant. Before, my team officer needed me a quartermaster to join me." "
"But you are an officer now."
The hunting guard officer snorted in the nose, and then he suddenly pulled Mazzini hard and dragged him almost to the ground. At the same time, he only felt his cheeks hot, and a sharp crossbow arrow just flew past his forehead. .
"Thank you sir!" Mazzini could not help but shivered "You saved my life."
"But if you don't perform your duties, I will kill you by hand." The officer scolded, and then squeezed Mazzini's shoulder again. "You guys, only one of you and the Ottomans can survive!"
Macheney paused, then made an ambiguous shout, then turned and rushed towards the opposite Ottoman.
Watching Macheney's figure disappear into the crowd instantly, the officer of the hunting guard licked the tip of his dry tongue, and then whispered in his mouth, "How long can I stay?"
Alexander knew that the Montina army would not be able to guard for long.
The increasingly violent offensives of the Ottomans indicate that the opponent on the opposite side has made up their minds to resolve the battle quickly at any cost, and once the Ottomans decide to do so, with their superior strength, they will soon be able to seize the initiative on the battlefield.
And for Alexander, once the tactics of using fortifications to consume the enemy in this situation are constrained and lose the initiative, then the next situation is really precarious.
Busako looked behind him, he had only a dozen soldiers available at this time, and the hunting guards had already moved to the front line. The remaining people may be the only force to protect Alexander from the battlefield.
Alexander noticed Busako's small movements, but he ignored them. He was actually very annoyed at this time, and even doubted his previous judgment.
He was even wondering whether Gompati had not been able to enter Bucharest at all, or even entered the city and could not persuade the nobles of Bucharest.
It seems that I have to pay for my self-righteousness, Alexander thought secretly.
He suddenly missed his loved ones who were far away in Italy at this time, would it be better if he didn't leave Italy?
As soon as this thought flashed, he struggled to erase it from his mind. He knew that at this time, he would only prove to be weak, and as long as there was a little weakness on the battlefield, the only thing waiting for him was a fiasco.
"We go up," Alexander said quietly. This was not the first time he had stepped on the front line. The highest commander had visited the front line twice in a battle, which was enough to show how dangerous the situation was.
So when Alexander appeared on the position, he could not help seeing his soldiers with a dignified look.
"We may be fighting to death here," Alexander stood in front of an obstacle erected by branches and watched as he rushed not far away, the enemy cavalry who was trying to find the entrance to the soldiers watching him next to him We shouted, "I do n’t want to lie to you, we will win, but I assure you that if we really die here today, I will definitely be with you."
Alexander's words made the soldiers around him look at each other. They did not expect the Alexander General Assembly to tell them so directly the danger they are facing, which made them do not know how to answer for a while.
And Alexander didn't want to listen to the soldiers' answers. He just grabbed a musket stand next to him and pointed it at the obstacles that could not flash outside.
"Remember what I said to you. If I die, I will be with you. If we survive today, we can all proudly say to our descendants that we have taught the Ottoman army hard!"
With Alexander firing first, a moment of gunfire was heard on the Montina army position, and the Ottoman cavalry was instantly shrouded in smoke.
At this time, Xi Sugu had come down from a horse and stood in the shade of a tree. His helmet had been taken off. The battle situation that was leaning towards victory made him feel that this hot noon had also become much cooler.
Although he has also invested in the final reserve team, but because of his strength, Xi Sugu is not worried that his opponent can still change the situation. On the contrary, he even has a bit of eager hope that the enemy's tactics will change.
Because if you continue to die like this, even if you finally win, it will be somewhat regretful for Xi Sugu to win.
He hopes that his opponent can counterattack because he can't hold his breath, because only in this way can he make better use of and play the flexible advantages of the Ottoman light cavalry.
"That count is really persistent." Xi Sugu shook his head a little helplessly. If he was faced with this fate that would sooner or later be encroached on by the enemy, maybe he had already fought back to fight for his last hope.
Then Xi Sugu suddenly turned around and asked the people around him: "Why didn't the Count Montina fight back?"
"My lord, maybe it is because he knows that he will die faster," an officer said to Xi Sugu with a smile. "Or he would rather die than let you get more honor."
The person next to him immediately gave a burst of just laughter for this man's obscure flattery and jokes, but Xi Sugu didn't laugh.
His heavy eyebrows slightly condensed, seeming to wonder what the purpose of the enemy's seemingly unwilling to admit defeat is really meaningless.
"There is often only one reason why an army is so persistent in defense," Xi Sugu muttered in a low voice. "That is, he knows that there will be reinforcements to save him, and he can use this kind of dead defense to attract opponents, and then ..."
Thinking of the fact that Xi Sugu's expression became solemn, he beckoned the heralds and ordered the Anatolian light cavalry located on the outermost periphery of the left wing to immediately send a small group of soldiers to search and investigate in the direction of Bucharest.
"Pay attention to Bucharest, especially the roads along the Danube. If the Bucharest people really want to send troops to support them, they will most likely appear from there, telling all the Sectlers on the left ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ If the Bucharest people To send troops, they must stop the enemy's attack. "
Xi Sugu issued a series of orders, and at the same time he ordered a more violent attack, somehow he suddenly had an ominous hunch.
Herald soldiers quickly jumped on horseback and ran towards their respective destinations.
Just waiting for them to rush to the Su Gu camp, the Ottoman left wing that was struggling to attack in the distance suddenly became chaotic!
The chaos started from a point, and then spread like a plague from the back of Ottoman's left wing to the entire front.
When he heard that the herald soldier who had just left hurried back to report the incident, Xi Sugu's complexion instantly gloomy.
He knew that although he accurately judged the possible crisis, he was a little too awakened.
Bucharest's reinforcements have entered the battlefield!
