Chapter 20 Defeat
Rewarding merits after the war is also to inspire morale.
The performance of Lin Kaixin's private troops on the battlefield was remarkable. It was the shooting of Lin Kaixin's bow and arrows, which started from smashing the opponent's fifth infantry brigade, and pushed down the troops of Tang San Kingdom like dominoes one by one.
This time, in addition to annihilated more than 600 enemies on the battlefield, the Warlin Kingdom also captured more than 300 prisoners. Except for a few light cavalry who accidentally fell off the horse, the rest were injured infantry. Some infantry seemed to be shot like hedgehogs, with many arrows inserted on their bodies, but in fact, if there is no fatal injury, there is no danger of life at all.
These prisoners are also important bargaining chips. If the Tang San Kingdom did not spend money to redeem them after the war, the Tang San Kingdom would have a sharp decline in morale. Spending money to redeem prisoners after the war was just to cut off the enemy, but it was impossible to do it.
The battle ended in the morning, and in the afternoon, we were basically cleaning the battlefield, packing up our weapons and equipment to burn the corpses, etc.
The next day, the army of the Wolin Kingdom began to march towards the depth. As for the army of the Tang San Kingdom, they had retreated overnight, and the caravans who followed the Tang San Kingdom retreated long ago when they heard that the war was unfavorable.
The victory of the Warlin Kingdom was carried out for four days. Thirty miles away from the border city of the Tang San Kingdom, he met the Tang San Kings team who had already completed their military military operations again.
This time, the Tang San Kingdom launched an army of about 5,500, which not only made up for the previous losses, but also slightly increased the number.
The generals of the Warlin Kingdom all understood that this time the Tang San Kingdom had transferred all the defenders in the border city, and it was a forced sign that the guards and mercenaries of the caravans in the city would be. Otherwise, the troops who could come to reinforce would probably be on the way in a few days.
However, this time, Tang Si, the prince of the Tang San Kingdom, changed his strategy and focused on heavy cavalry. The two wings of heavy cavalry are light cavalry and infantry are on both wings.
You can tell at a glance that this is a decisive battle between cavalry. But the same thing is true, who is afraid of whom.
The Warlin Kingdom also changed its formation according to the opponent's arrangement. The infantry was on both wings, and the core was the cavalry in the middle.
Iron-armored knights like Prince Wat were also recruited into the heavy cavalry team. The new Knight Lin Kaixin is now commanding the first squadron. Because of the last battle, he grabbed a lot of war horses, and one of them was distributed to Prince Wat. Prince Wat, and ten of them were also added to the light cavalry team.
However, in this way, Lin Kaixin's first squadron was only 240 people left. Although after the last battle, all squadrons except the first squadron were killed, the number of people in the first squadron was still the smallest because of the transfer of ten people.
Although this battle was played by the cavalry, the ones who fought first were still infantry, and infantry movement speeds were slow. In fact, everyone's four-dimensional attributes were not low, but a charge too fast would only cause a few people to be single, giving the enemy the chance to beat more and fewer people. Therefore, whether it is infantry charge or cavalry charge, they are all charged together, so that everyone can cover each other.
In order to maintain the power of Lin Kaixin's bow and arrow power, the first and second squadrons of the Warling Kingdom were all in the first and second rows, and the second squadrons were holding tall shields to protect themselves and the troops behind them.
As for the first squadron, except for the steel round shield on the arm, they all held bows and arrows, listened to the drum beats, and moved forward step by step.
In the last battle, Lin Kaixin's unit of the first squadron brought two bags of arrows, totaling 72. Because they always fired volleys, each of them shot forty-nine arrows after the war. In this way, Lin Kaixin's arms were also sore for a day and two nights. Everyone thought that fifty arrows were almost the limit. Other infantrymen in the kingdom also brought two bags of arrows, but one bag of arrows was only twenty-four, and two bags of arrows were only forty-eight, which was enough for use on the battlefield.
After Lin Kaixin replenished arrows to everyone, there were still 72 arrows for each person. Lin Kaixin knew that although everyone was so tired at that time, they felt exhausted after the battle. Human potential was almost endless. Simply put, it was a miracle that could be achieved with great force.
If you look at the attributes, you will be close to 100 points of endurance before the battle. In fact, each arrow is used to consume only a little endurance, because the pulley bow is very labor-saving. If you calculate this way, even if the seventy-two arrows are shot, you can still engage in hand-to-hand combat for at least five minutes.
After both sides entered within 300 meters, after Lin Kaixin's troops shot the first round of arrow rain, the light and heavy cavalry of the Tang San Kingdom launched a full-scale attack. After all, they were afraid that the infantry would fail to become the first domino to fall. This time, the Tang San Kingdom was determined to win the iron cavalry, and only required the infantry to withstand it.
However, it is not so easy for the Iron Cavalry to win the decisive battle. Just like the Iron Cavalry of the Tang San Kingdom and the Warlin Kingdom carried out two charges in the last battle, but neither side suffered any loss.
First of all, those who can be heavy cavalry are also strong people above level 30, and their basic attributes are very high. Everyone is covered with iron cans. If the gun is not stabbed into the knife, it will be even more difficult to hurt the opponent. Furthermore, both sides will be treated, with a little bit of minor injuries or even serious injuries, and one healing technique will recover. Such heavy cavalry wars are destined to be tortured to death by a little bit, or if the opponent is singled and is caught by a group of heavy cavalrymen.
When the cavalry on both sides were strangled, Lin Kaixin's important task now was to shoot the enemy to death bit by bit. After being hit by the rain of arrows from the first squadron in three rounds, the enemy also began to shoot forward.
After entering one hundred and twenty meters, Lin Kaixin's team completely changed to direct shooting. In this way, the shooting after aiming will have a better accuracy and stronger lethality. As for the enemy's direct shooting, like their shooting, the arrows jingle on the steel armor and then bounced to the ground. Lin Kaixin's team even brought bulletproof glass masks, and there was no vital exposure. The enemy on the opposite side always had to leave their faces for the sake of vision. The heavy cavalry has a protective mask, and only exposed two eyes, but in fact the vision is not good.
After several direct shots between the two sides, a large number of infantry from the Tang San Kingdom fell down. However, the infantry from the Warlin Kingdom on Lin Kaixin were even injured.
Seeing that the infantry on both sides were about to fight, Lin Kaixin's infantry in the Tang San Kingdom had to fight against the dense infantry formation of the Warlin Kingdom with a sparse formation.
Almost as soon as they fought, the two sides decided the winner. Lin Kaixin did not mention weapons and equipment, but even in terms of number, two or three people were fighting against the enemy alone. In an instant, all the enemies in the first row of hand-to-hand combat fell down.
