- Chapter 16 The Battle of Weilin Village (6)
When Lin Fenghan approached the Korande Archers of the Second Legion, he quickly sent the Guards Cavalry to Weilin Village to notify Ma Youdun.
At this time, Bumisxiu was very angry. The formation of the archers and crossbowmen of the Second Legion was in chaos, and some of the crossbowmen ran behind the infantry. Fortunately, the melee light cavalry on the left wing of the Second Army quickly rushed out from the left wing and intercepted the Korande horse archers and Rams cavalry on the battlefield.
The captain of the Guards looked at Boumisio in a panic, and said nervously: "General, the Elantra army has been approaching us for more than 400 meters. Our archers and crossbowmen's long-range troops have suffered some losses and have been temporarily disrupted. Their formations have been temporarily disrupted. The cavalry archers and melee light cavalry with spears are running on our center wing and left wing. Now we have lost part of our advantage. I think we should take the initiative now, attack with the whole army, and drown their cavalry in our army. Their archers were unable to take advantage, and we used the high quality and high morale of our professional soldiers to defeat the farmers."
"Oh! Yi Liuyun probably thinks so too." Bumi Xiu looked at the adjutant and shook his head lightly, saying seriously.
"The formation of the Elantra army is not chaotic. Although their formation is two hundred meters shorter than ours, it is very deep. Our current attack can indeed surround them, but the scattered forces will be broken through by their solidified forces. Moreover, once If we attack, there will be holes in our formation. Once their infantry enters the gaps between our formations and penetrates the military formation, then we will definitely lose."
"Besides, after so many battles, their army is definitely not as incompetent as ordinary farmers. Now we can only wait for the opportunity. Although they have many cavalry, as long as our infantry gather together, they will not dare to attack, otherwise they will die as many times as they come. How many."
"and!"
Bumisxiu looked at the battlefield hesitantly and said doubtfully: "I personally feel that their army must be more than 3,000 people."
"Yes! General."
The captain of the Guards also touched his head in confusion and said: "Yi Liuyun is definitely lying. I feel that their army is about the same as ours. There should be more than 3,300 people!"
On the ancient battlefield, the line of sight of soldiers, light cavalry, including generals was naturally restricted. The soldiers and generals of the Second Army could not see the number of people in the Elante army, and Lin Fenghan and others could not see the actual number of people on the battlefield of the Second Army. When generals from both sides fight on the battlefield, they usually rely on vague intelligence from reconnaissance and their own intuition.
Kelande shouted as he looked at the light cavalry coming to intercept the Second Corps, and quickly shouted: "Brothers, take a detour, we will enter the military formation through the gap on the left wing to correct the formation."
Under the leadership of Colander, the long linear archers made a sharp 60-degree turn toward the left flank of the Elante army, and advanced through the gap left by Colander's light cavalry.
The light cavalry centurion on the left wing of the Second Army was very hesitant at this time. He had advanced more than half way to the approaching target and suddenly walked towards the enemy's formation. The speed and power of the charge of the cavalry he led had not yet dropped, and he could not attack from the crowd behind him. Withdraw, during the retreat of Colande's cavalry, the turning route overlapped with Colande's route.
"Centurion, charge! While our speed and strength have not decreased, we will penetrate into the formation of the cavalry and kill them." The veteran of Tongqing patted his chest bloodthirstyly and said.
"Inappropriate!" The deputy captain quickly shook his head and said quickly: "Their light cavalry with spears is in the formation. We must fight when we go in. The general's order to us is to intercept the enemy's cavalry and not let them go. They detoured behind our army, we can¡¯t go against the general¡¯s wishes!¡±
Gritting his teeth, the centurion said harshly: "Turn the whole army around and follow me back to the military formation."
"yes!"
The 100 light cavalry who had already demobilized made a U-turn of more than 70 degrees and quickly moved towards their original position.
Behind Colande's horse archers, the light cavalry with spears led by Rams sprinted quickly. At this time, looking at the light cavalry of the Second Legion turning in circles 200 meters away, Ramsay's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly:
"Brothers, charge with me."
"Go!"
"Kill!"
¡°More than 120 meters away from the front of the right wing of the Second Army, Rams was undaunted and led the light cavalry with peak speed and strength to erect a three-meter-long spear. There were 5 people in a row, arranged in 20 rows, regardless of the scattered formation, and seized the opportunity to insert themselves into the light cavalry of the Second Army that had completed half of the turn.
The formation of the turning second legion light cavalry had been broken up within 10 seconds. What was even more frightening was that the spear light cavalry led by Rams, who were at the peak of their charging speed and strength, still charged desperately.At the front, the light cavalry in front kept inserting their spears into the circle, behind the changing formation of the light cavalry of the Second Legion.
The unsuspecting light cavalry of the Second Army was cut off in just 30 seconds. More than 40 of the more than 100 people were intercepted by Rams, and more than 20 were intercepted by the spear light cavalry led by Rams. The kill fell to the ground.
Seeing the cavalry on his side being attacked, the spearman centurion on the right wing of the Second Army could no longer bear it. A spearman centurion from the second row of the battle line led more than 100 people without destroying the formation. Go down to the front to support your side's light cavalry.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
The centurion of the light cavalry of the Second Army looked at the more than 100 light cavalry running out from the left wing of Elant. He punched his chest in pain and decisively waved to the light cavalry who were not surrounded.
The light cavalry of the Second Legion, which was not in good battle formation and suffered a blow and was unable to exert its strength, abandoned the wounded, fallen, and surrounded cavalry, and quickly followed the light cavalry centurion to the rear.
Ramsay, who was fighting, turned around and looked at the many spearmen running towards his army. He decisively gave up on the escaping light cavalry, pulled out his sword with all his strength, and directed the light cavalry to attack those who were still on their horses. of light cavalry.
The equipment used by Elantra's light cavalry is composite leather armor, a three-meter-long center-centered spear, a 1.3-meter-long sword, and a bronze buckler with a diameter of more than 60 centimeters. The spear was usually quickly thrown away when it hit the enemy and picked up after the battle. After using up the spear, the precious iron sword 1.3 meters long became the main weapon of the cavalry.
Generally speaking, most of the enemies stabbed by the cavalry spears were killed by the subsequent cavalry, or died of bleeding and infection. Even if they did not die on the spot, they would be unable to play a role in subsequent battles after losing their combat effectiveness.
More than 30 people were killed and wounded in just 100 seconds of fighting. The light cavalry of the Second Army ran back more than 50 people, and the remaining 20 people were killed by Ilantko before the spear infantry of the Second Army arrived. The light cavalry led by Rand and the light cavalry led by Ramsay jointly destroyed them.
"They are already here. Don't stop killing them, and lead your horses away quickly." Coland looked at the cavalry seriously, and quickly warned the light cavalry who drew out their spears and stabbed them with their spears.
"yes!"
Ramsay and the Elante light cavalry nodded quickly and left quickly with their horses still able to move. In this battle, Ramsay's light cavalry lost 4 people, injured more than 10 people, and eliminated nearly 50 cavalry people.
The centurion of the spearmen who ran into the battlefield ordered the people in front to get into battle formation to guard against the enemy. At the same time, he led the rest of the spearmen to rescue the injured cavalry and clean the battlefield of personnel and weapons.
In the central square formation, the archer Centurion Wagel and the crossbowman Centurion Julali led the army to run out 200 meters in front of the Elant formation and entered within 200 meters in front of the Second Army.
200 crossbowmen and 500 archers were arranged in 2 rows on the center and left flank of the Elantra army.
"Launch!"
"Launch!"
The crossbowmen fired their crossbows first, and then the archers also fired their bows.
More than 700 long arrows flew like wasps toward the archers and crossbowmen of the Second Legion.
