Iron Powder and Spellcaster

On the west side of the battlefield, the left wing of Tiefeng County Army.

The dying war horse was mourning, and the warm blood even made the earth a little muddy.

The strongly armored Telton Guards are extremely difficult to kill. Even if they are dragged off their saddles, they continue to wield their scimitars and roar to fight.

In the melee, no one bothered to look for gaps in the nail leaves.

The militiamen wielded their bayonets and flails and swung at the barbarians who fell from their horses indiscriminately until they were beaten to death.

Therefore, most of the Teltun soldiers died from blunt blows.

Although the skin of their corpses was bruised and purple, it was intact and there were almost no sharp injuries. The underlying cause of death was massive bleeding of subcutaneous tissue and organs.

It's a painful, slow way to die, but the problem is it's too inefficient.

And when the Tertun people's sharp blades fall on the bodies of militiamen who lack armor protection, just one blow can make people incapacitated.

The monkey and two other militiamen held down a strong barbarian like a drunken man fighting, but they had no idea how to kill the other man.

Because just by holding down the barbarians, they had already used all their strength. The barbarians struggled desperately, and they did not dare to relax.

Sergeant Lu Xirong shouted loudly in his ears: "Get out of here!"

Immediately afterwards, the monkey riding on the barbarian was kicked over by the sergeant.

Lu Xirong was seen swinging a blunt wood-cutting ax and slashing it hard at the barbarian's head.

The ax failed to break through the helmet, but blood overflowed from the barbarian's nose and eyes, and he stopped struggling immediately.

Lu Xirong swung an ax and struck the barbarian on the neck to ensure that the latter would not come back from the dead.

The Teltown cavalry attacking the left wing has been divided into two parts:

Most of them were trapped between the two trenches; the smaller half was blocked from the first trench.

It was the cavalry led by Angelou who cut off Telton's wing in the middle.

Angelou's saber has long been thrown away by him - the curved blade saber is good for chopping, but it is not as useful as a straight-edged sword against armored men.

The gleaming scimitar slashed at him diagonally, and Angelou, who had put on his bone bud, faced the opponent's blade and fought back.

The moment the weapons collided, the scimitar was knocked out of position.

Angelou took advantage of the situation and hit the opponent's arm with a bone. The Terton soldier screamed and drove his horse away.

There was no time to chase down the enemy, Angelou pulled the reins lightly, and Redmane screamed and rushed towards another wild horse.

The situation is not very good, the Tiefeng County Cavalry Team is gradually falling into a disadvantage.

When it comes to horse fighting, Tiefeng County riders are far from rivals of the skilled Hurds. It was just that the timing of the charge was just right, and many Teltown people were frightened and fled in a hurry.

Now, the psychological advantages of raiding are fading rapidly.

Many Telton cavalry who escaped saw that the battle was not one-sided, so they turned around and came back to fight.

"Aim at their horses!" On the edge of the battlefield, a Tiefeng County rider waved his flag and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fire!"

"Dong-dong-dong-dong."

There was a series of dull gunshots, and it was unclear how many Terton cavalrymen were shot.

"Reload!" The squad leader holding a small flag shouted as he approached: "What are you looking at? Reload quickly!"

The riders who were still eagerly looking for the results of the battle were awakened, hurriedly took out their ammunition and hurriedly reloaded.

The equestrian skills of some Tiefeng County people were so poor that Angelou asked them to carry muskets and dismount to fight.

As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Teltown cavalry immediately became aware of the small group of people on the edge of the battlefield.

A red plume shouted loudly and rushed out of the melee area on horseback, followed by more than a dozen Telton cavalry.

Before the mounted musketeers from Tiefeng County could remount their horses, they were scattered by the Turton cavalry.

Upon seeing this, Angelo immediately broke away from the melee and led his nearby subordinates to bypass the battlefield and go to the rescue.

…

On the east side of the battlefield, the right wing of Tiefeng County Army.

"Everyone! Listen to the command! Stand at attention!" Hoarse shouts sounded from all over the second front: "Back - turn!"

The Tiefeng County militia faithfully carried out this command. Although some turned counterclockwise and some turned clockwise, they turned around anyway.

Ever since, under the astonished eyes of Teldun Qingqi, the second front of Tiefeng County's right-wing army completed a standard tactical action - [turn back].

There was no chaotic scene as the Telduans had expected, and each company and battalion flipped back and forth neatly.

In an instant, the circuitous back attack turned into a head-on confrontation. This time it was the turn of the Teltown people who were accelerating their charge to hesitate.

The leader of Terdun [White Bull] gritted his teeth and urged his horse to speed up: "[Herd language] Kill them! Crush them!"

So what if I turn around? Aren't you still being attacked from both sides?

White Bull led his men around an unknown distance and destroyed countless horses. How could he allow himself to be frightened like this?

The white bull desperately raised the high banner and roared at the top of his lungs: "[Hedian] The gods are watching you and me!"

The thunder of hoofbeats made the tribesmen unable to hear the leader's call at all, and the only thing guiding them was the flag.

Then, the White Bull's horse stepped into a trap.

To be precise, it was a group of horse traps stretching behind the Tiefeng County military formation.

As a substitute for caltrops, Winters arranged the traps in strict accordance with the instructions: each pit was one foot in diameter, two feet deep, with sharpened wooden stakes at the bottom; the distance between adjacent pits was one meter; the overall pits were in a checkerboard pattern. Staggered arrangement.

The depth of the trap group is currently fifty meters, and it will continue to strengthen if the fire-warmers stand still.

The horse's back suddenly fell, and the white bull was thrown off the saddle. He instinctively hugged his neck and curled up to prevent his spine from breaking. But he was still beaten to a bloody head and the flag fell out of his hand.

The Terdun people who followed the leader also stepped on the pits one after another, and the horses with broken hoofs and wrists screamed one after another.

A few Terdun Qingqi who were lucky enough to pass through the pits looked around and were shocked to realize that their tribesmen were not following. They stopped their horses one after another and the patrol shuttles did not dare to move forward.

"[Herd] Don't stop!" The White Bull grabbed the flag, stood up with difficulty on the flagpole, and shouted in despair: "[Herd] Charge! Kill!"

What happened next, in a sense, fulfilled White Bull's wish.

Although his men did not dare to charge into the Two-Legged Man's military formation, the Two-Legged Man's military formation rushed towards them.

The war flag was lowered three times, and the snare drum sounded like hail.

The battalions of the second front on the right wing were fully deployed, regardless of the fact that they were still fighting in the front, and they were shouting to kill the roundabout Terdun Qingqi.

…

In the center of the battlefield, the center of the Tiefeng County Army.

The man on the black horse finally said, "It's time."

Real hand-to-hand combat doesn't last long and is extremely uncontrollable.

The fall of a flag, the escape of a soldier, a strange silence... any tiny sign could trigger a chain of routs.

Once the battle enters this stage, what supports both sides to stay on the battlefield is not the ability to kill, but the perseverance.

But the will is invisible, and no one can tell when it will collapse - maybe never, maybe in the next second.

At present, the left wing of the Tiefeng County Army has not achieved an overwhelming victory.

Although the Teltown cavalry was divided and surrounded, they still fought tenaciously. The two sides are in a stalemate. No one dares to judge who will collapse first.

The right wing of the Tiefeng County Army showed two trends at the same time.

The heavy armored cavalry sent out by the Flamers at the last moment was sweeping across the first front on the right flank.

The heavy cavalry, whose riders and horses were armored, were simply invulnerable monsters. As soon as these cavalry broke through the trench, they immediately smashed the formation of the "young soldiers" into pieces.

Facing the armored cavalry, the militiamen were helpless. Every time a fence was breached, one and a half battalions were completely routed.

On the second front on the right, each battalion of strong-arm soldiers was also massacring the Telduans who had fallen from their horses.

Knowing that there was a trap ahead made the roundabout Telton Qingqi dare not act casually.

The Tertun people who were stranded in the rear tried to bypass the trap zone, but found that the traps were dotted all the way into the woods.

The Terdun people who lost their horses were forced to fight on foot with the Tiefeng County militia. The latter had an absolute advantage in strength and quickly drove the former back.

The most powerful Chinese army in Tiefeng County was entangled by more than a thousand Terdun Qingqi.

Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see what the fire-warmer is thinking.

[Bad horses against good horses, good horses against medium horses], the roasters used part of the main force to nail the left wing of the Tiefeng County army, used the weakest troops to contain the Tiefeng County middle army, and finally used the strongest troops to destroy the Tiefeng County army. The right wing of the army.

Once the first front on the right wing falls into total collapse, the young soldiers on the second front will also be unable to support themselves.

As long as the right wing of the Tiefeng County Army is defeated, there will be no essential difference between [flanking the left wing] or [flanking the Chinese army]. It is just a different killing method.

The war situation is tilting irreversibly in favor of the Teldu tribe, unless... there is another new force.

"What are you waiting for?" The man on the black horse asked again, his tone becoming stern: "Your right wing is about to completely collapse!"

Winters stared closely ahead, at the small hill to the north.

Several riders were galloping along the ridge. Finally they stopped, took out a yellow flag and waved it vigorously.

"The Teltown people have exhausted their reserves." Winters finally confirmed this fact. He looked at the dark horse rider: "If there is an ultimate moment that determines the outcome of this battle, it seems that That’s it now…Colonel Gesar.”

Colonel Geza Adonis lifted his visor, revealing his cheek with horrific scars, and laughed happily: "I came here just for it."

Good Luck Gold brings good luck to Winters, except this time the "good luck" doesn't have hair.

The military tents at the rear of the Chinese army were pulled down one after another, and the cavalry in gorgeous uniforms led their horses and filed out.

From the ridiculously large bearskin hats, brightly colored coats embroidered with horizontal stripes, and the unruly expressions, you can tell that they are hussars - not OEMs like Andre, but real paladins. Latu hussar.

In addition to the hussars, there were also a small number of lancers wearing half armor.

This cavalry is the good luck brought by Gold, the reinforcements sent by Colonel Bode, a force that should not have appeared here, and the fundamental reason why Winters dared to take the initiative to fight in the field with Teltown.

"Tell your subordinates to get out of the way." Gesa put on his visor again and said, "I'm going to meet the enemy chief."

"No." Winters shook his head slightly: "You should go to the left wing - leave me fifty more good hands."

Gesa's face was hidden under his helmet, and his eyes could not be seen. He could only hear his heavy reply: "Okay."

The two battalions deployed on the left side of the Chinese army quickly gathered together to make a gap.

The soldiers jumped into the ditch holding planks and used their bodies as bridge stakes to build several bridges that could allow the cavalry to pass.

Needless to say, Gesa raised his sword high and rode his horse to the front of the cavalry: "Follow me!"

"Uukhai!"

"Uukhai!!"

"Uukhai!!!"

The Palatine hussars responded with three deafening war cries.

Gesa jumped out of the ditch first, followed by warriors from Leiqun County, Bianjiang County, Baishan County and even further administrative areas.

The overall formation of the Tiefeng County army allowed the cavalry from the Chinese army to charge from the flanks and rear of the enemy troops attacking both flanks.

The sharp saber was like a steel storm. Wherever the saber pointed, the Terton people were invincible. Wherever the war horses passed, only the mutilated corpses of the Terton people were left behind.

The right wing of the Terdun Department - that is, the troops attacking the left wing of Tiefeng County - finally endured something that exceeded their limit.

Like a string breaking, like a domino toppling, the right wing of the Terton Department ushered in a total collapse.

"Ha, so that's it." The old interpreter on the hill was not only not angry, nor surprised, but instead clasped his hands and laughed, leaning forward and back: "Where is the arrow cluster here? These are clearly two people placed together. Slash formation!”

Winters, the center of the Tiefeng County Army, asked in a gentle voice: "Can you teach me the battle cry of 'break the enemy's formation' that the Terdun people shouted before?"

The old businessman who had been walking in the wasteland for many years did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly repeated word for word: "[Hedian] Break the formation...break the formation."

Winters chewed it a few times, nodded, and buckled his helmet.

Seeing this, Charles immediately grabbed Winters' reins, his face flushed with anxiety: "No! Lieutenant Bader said! You can't go into battle! Victory or defeat no longer depends on you..."

Winters took a deep look at Ciel, who stopped talking.

"I have some personal grudges with the enemy chief that I want to resolve." Winters asked the fifty men left behind by Geza: "Are you willing to come with me?"

The leading cavalryman replied arrogantly: "We can't let you kill all the enemies."

"Then follow me." Winters drew his lance, and his voice with the power of magic resounded throughout the entire army: "Each battalion! Get out of the way!"

The central army's arrow formation made way for the owner of the voice, the crimson battle flags roared, and a group of cavalry came out of the formation and headed straight for the fire-warmer's banner.

The leading cavalry roared the war cry of the Huds: "[Hud language] Break the formation! Break the formation!! Break the formation!!!"

The sound cracked the rocks and penetrated the clouds, and I heard the war cry that clearly belonged to my own side, but the Teltun people were parted like the Red Sea.

Meanwhile, Mason finally arrives on the battlefield.

The Gévaudan cavalry and the mounted infantry brigade followed Mason up the hill, and what they saw made everyone's chests tremble unconsciously.

Tens of thousands of humans and war horses have been fully deployed, fighting risklessly at the foot of the mountain, like an unprecedented giant oil painting.

The left wing of the Tiefeng County Army was turning around, with a group of brightly-dressed cavalry acting as blades, rushing towards the melee on the right wing in a giant turn.

The formation of the Chinese army has also completely disintegrated. The ant-like villains rushed out of the trench and killed the barbarian Qingqi, who were also the same size as ants.

"Where is... Tribune Montagne?" Demon Anse also lost his cool: "Where should we go?"

There were enemies and friendly troops everywhere. The four hundred cavalry brought by Mason were thrown into the battlefield like a glass of water poured into a vat. For a while, no one knew what to do.

Mason narrowed his eyes, looked down at the sky carefully for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh hard: "Damn! It's too late! This battle is over!"

"What? Finished?"

"Never mind it!" Mason picked up a mortar, turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "If you see a barbarian, fight him!"

After saying this, he rode down the hill.

[T-shaped trench with passage, two diagonal formations, using the Chinese cavalry as the decisive assault force, flanking left and right...]

[Some book friends should have noticed that the underlying concept of this battle is based on the [Battle of Dara]]

[The Battle of Dara was the first great victory of the "King of Bad Soldiers" Belisarius, who defeated about 50,000 Persian troops with about 25,000 infantry and cavalry]

[Belisarius's general tactic was to "clear the two wings and let the two wings meet the enemy first. When the Persian cavalry passes through the ditch to pursue the defeated troops, the central army will then launch a flank attack on the enemy.\
