Chapter 65： Clash (2/2)
On the opposite side of the Arante Empire, the atmosphere was not so relaxed and cozy. With his face already ugly to the extreme, Alan Te Rumbach looked at the artillery position that had been almost abolished, and gritted his teeth and gave the order to continue fighting.
”Let the remaining artillery be ready to fight back! Even if there is only one cannon, we have to give each other a bit of color!” He ordered, while looking at the Ailan Hill formation in the distance.
It is more accurate to say that it is a line of soldiers than a line of soldiers: the opponent seems to have only three rows of soldiers, and the line drawn by the battle line is about the same length as the 50,000 people of the Arante Empire here. Such a line of defense is not thick at all, and it can't stop the impact of cavalry or infantry at all.
But the premise is that there are cavalry or infantry that can rush to this line. Although there was an ominous hunch, looking at the opponent's slender line of troops, Alan Te Rumbach still thought that he should tentatively attack his opponent before making plans.
Even if it weighs over 10,000 people, he still has an advantage. It is better to be able to defeat the opponent. If he can't defeat the opponent, he seems to have time to retreat. Anyway, the opponent doesn't have a dragon knight, and of course it can't do the whole process of crushing and killing.
”General Amir! Take your 10,000-strong team forward! Break through the thin line of defense of the opponent, I guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will promote you to a general!” Looking at the brave general next to him, Lumbark snapped Commanded.
After destroying the artillery of the Arante Empire, the opposing artillery began extended shooting. Several infantry phalanxes had been hit by artillery shells, and the losses began to scare the soldiers. If you don't attack anymore at this time, the entire army will collapse.
So Lumbak started a counterattack. He wanted to overwhelm the dominant force and let the two armies contact as much as possible. As long as he fights together, he can take advantage of his military strength and crush the opponent's line of defense.
”Let the two-winged cavalry attack! No miracle will happen when you wait in place!” Although he is not very optimistic about his cavalry combat effectiveness, Krumbach decided to put pressure on the opponent's two wings as soon as possible, so that the opponent cannot use artillery unscrupulously. .
”Elan Hill has her own new cannon! Send this news back to the King City immediately! We were fooled!” He handed the envelope with his own seal to a messenger, and Lumbark asked the other party: ”Maybe Ailan Hill may have other weapons, so your Majesty must be careful!”
The messenger nodded and rode his horse to fly south. A dozen knights joined behind the messenger in the distance. Watching these cavalry run away, Lumbak turned his attention back to the battlefield.
At this time, the artillery of the Arrant Empire, who was finally ready, fired their first artillery sound: ”Boom!”
An artillery shell smashed behind the grenadier of Ailan Hill, splashing a piece of dust on the clearing, and did not cause any casualties to Ailan Hill. And Ailan Hill's artillery responded to the opponent's provocation, and another round of shelling accurately landed on the position of the Arante Empire artillery, burying it in black smoke again.
”Go forward!” With a command next to each other, the phalanx of the Arrant Empire soldiers in gray armor began to move forward slowly. They stepped neatly, holding their spears high, and chanting slogans to their opponents. .
Opposite them, with the continuous beating of the marching drum, the Ailan Hill grenadiers had advanced hundreds of steps. These lightly armed infantry without armor protection moved forward step by step, and the muzzle of the rifle against the shoulders swayed from side to side.
Beside them, soldiers pushing heavy machine guns shouted slogans, bending over to keep the heavy Maxine within the infantry front. Behind them are the platoon commanders, company commanders, battalion commanders and regiment commanders who are advancing with the troops.
”The opposing cavalry is moving towards the two wings...” An officer looked at Korya and asked: ”Should we pause to advance and be careful about our flanks?”
”No need! Let the prairie cavalry deal with the Arantan cavalry! If they lose, it doesn't matter! I will penetrate the Chinese army on the opposite side, and I will have time to organize the formation!” Coria waved his hand confidently and denied. Followed the advice of his subordinates: ”I only need one attack! That's enough!”
”One, two, one! One, two, one!” On the battle line, every platoon leader kept chanting slogans to keep his soldiers in order. These soldiers have shortened the distance between themselves and each other to 500 meters, and now they are very close to each other.
”Go ahead! The enemy is right in front of you! Victory belongs to Ailan Hill!” Pressing his foot, a company commander pressed his saber and loudly reminded the soldiers next to him. Now he is also very nervous, because he was just a soldier who participated in the Battle of the Eastern Forest a year ago.
Now, he can command a company of soldiers, and he can't believe that he will be a commander one day.
