Chapter 6 The Battle of the Montreal Conference [3]
Actually, whether it's Tiger. House is still Norton, even the lowest-ranking lower-level officer, who knows why he has such a high chance of winning this battle. The reason is that the gap between the two sides is absolutely clear. First of all, the Norman soldiers are based on hundreds of war veterans, with a large number, superb strength and rich battlefield experience. Compared with the rookie recruits of those coalition forces, it is essentially more than one level worse. It can be said that even if the two sides fight against each other, the person who wins in the end may not be a coalition. Even a million sheep can't be the opponent of 100,000 wolves, which is the essential difference.
In terms of composition and technology, the command system is different. The Norman command is unified and the division of labor is clear. It can be said that after a war, which unit will do what the strategic and tactical purpose is, just like a machine. There is no doubt that this is the reality. The command system of the coalition is simply a mess. There are many factions and internal contradictions. It is fortunate that there is no fight. The whole process is extremely bad.
Reinhardt's command of Lithuania's 200,000 to 300,000 troops is still constrained, not to mention the troops of the rest of the country. Since the successive retreat of the Inglanders, representatives of other countries and forces have come to complain almost every day. We have contributed a lot of hard and suffered too much, and we have asked for a rest. In fact, even if it is just a team killed in battle, it will report heavy losses.
The gap in reality is so painful.
Not long after the establishment of the Norman Kingdom, the internal power is still very simple, and it has not reached the point where everyone is as cunning as a wolf. Everyone's mind is on expanding and strengthening the power. It can be said that the energy that bursts out for the same goal is very amazing. It's just that I didn't expect that it was obvious that people in other countries did not regard this kind of thing as a gospel.
Reinhardt's command is completely a mess.
In fact, most countries did not expect that the Norman's counterattack was so fast and sharp. Those who originally had fantasies regretted it. Some people have long been with Tiger. House's Foreign Secretary of Wangdu contacted and showed his heart that the Lithuanians were almost sold clean. It can be imagined how fragile such an alliance and the relationship is.
"Damn it! I really didn't expect the Norman attack to be so sharp! It's like hell to come to the world!"
There are no fewer people who complain like this. In fact, this is the case. The situation on the whole battlefield is simply terrible.
The position battle was completely defeated by the strange formation of the motor. This kind of strange phalanx used a large number of heavy armored spear soldiers. Those spears, the longest, even 25 meters, aimed at the front. A charge of the cavalry was suicide.
"Damn Normans, they can't break their phalanx at all!" Before the battle of the eastern fortress, the officers of the coalition were all offering advice, but they were still defeated and things became very bad. Coupled with the protective side shift of the tauren heavy armored infantry, there was no way to attack the enemy at all, and the long-range attack was completely invalid. Under the threat of the Norman magic crystal cannons and catapults, the archers did not even dare to appear too much until they did not bring bows and arrows.
"The change of this formation is essentially the center around the spear phalanx in the middle, and the surrounding heavy armored infantry is only its auxiliary function. However, the spear soldier, which originally did not have much effect, can actually play this after such a mobilization. What a powerful power?"
"Although I have to admit it, the strength of the Normans does have their reasons."
......
In the military headquarters of the Eleventh Army, all the scouts scattered by the motoring have come back. At this time, the news from the south has also come back. Obviously, the response and connection with Totti cannot be cut off casually.
"Your Excellency."
The bodyguard bowed and sent the secret order. The motor order touched his chin with some doubts, and then opened the secret order. There was only one small line on it: Tomorrow night, launch the offensive.
This news is about the situation of the First Army. The motor order does not know the real purpose of Totti, but it can be known that Totti's offensive will be carried out at night. The reason why it is to tell the First Army is to let the motor order to cooperate at the right time and deal heavy damage to the enemy. Moreover, this All kinds of things are obvious.
However, after all, instant messaging is not available, so it must be estimated in advance. This is the judgment of the high level of confrontation between different armies. The prediction of a general will have a very strong shock and influence on the direction of the whole army. Fundamentally, whether a general can predict and predict accurately is the most important baseline for the division of ordinary generals and famous generals in the era of cold weapons.
"Tomorrow?" Madaling's eyes were a little confused. He thought about it, and then gave the order, "The catapling machine continues to bombard. Be sure to harass the other party all the time and let the Lithuanians die!"
With a lot of resentment, in fact, one-third of the catapults have been broken. After all, such a large consumption is unbearable. A large number of catapults have been disassembled and reassembled into new catapults.
This is only the eastern fortress, not the city of Montreal. It is already so nervous and thrilling. If it is an absolute fight on the front battlefield, it is a meat grinder-like fight.
The hanging war can best reflect the cruelty of the war. In the past few days, the Normans have not been captured at all, only human heads, and the bodies are lying on the ruins of the eastern fortress. Some of them are just bloody. It is very hot in summer, the bodies rot quickly, and all kinds of odors fill the air, permeating people. The smell of nausea.
Once those guys have a fever and are in a coma, then there is no need for this guy to live. People are afraid of the plague, and cold and fever begin to drive a large number of soldiers to die.
Norman doctors are equipped with a lot. Although the orc witch doctors look unreliable, they have saved many people. The magic stick priests of human beings are also working hard there, and the reduction of the whole Normans is very rare. At least if you take a mild injury and rest, you can continue to fight. Unlike the allied forces, as long as the injured person is a little careless, he will die, and the death is very thorough. Unconsciously, the pressure of the coalition has reached an unstoppable level. There are more and more war-weariness, and people curse the high-level of the army with a grumpy temper. They thought that this was a war launched by the high-level for private interests, but these soldiers forgot that when they were mobilized, they also went for the wealth of the Normans. Nowadays, the problem they face is only one of the choices and possibilities in all problems.
Poor people are equally hateful.
"Madaling! The motor order!"
The huge body roared at the headquarters of the First Army, and then Gang Liluo opened the curtain and rushed in, shouting, "Has the news of the First Army come?"
The motor order handed over the secret order to Gangliluo and said, "I just arrived. It seems that Totti has been silent for a while. He is really going to start to use the knife, but he doesn't know when he will do it. What he doesn't know more is that his time is tight. I'm wondering if I should cooperate with him, give him a little bit of combat power, and pay more attention to us.
"No way!" Gangliluo vetoed it on the spot.
"It is undeniable that this will make Totti's action easier, but don't forget that we are losing a lot of money now. The purpose is to take down the northern fortress, and then divide and surround it to attack Montreal or the eastern fortress. The eastern fortress is now broken. Under the attack on both sides, it must collapse in an instant. The main force of our cavalry regiment can take advantage of the situation to pursue. This process is the focus of the future battle situation in Montreal. Therefore, we can't continue to consume troops, especially in the tough battle. Gonelo said seriously.
Ma Daring nodded, and then asked softly, "How's your majesty's war in the north?"
Gang Liluo frowned and shook his head: "It's not clear yet, but at least the scouts haven't come back yet. The good news and bad news should be estimated. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a big victory. Otherwise, Your Majesty should have made other plans long ago. I guess your majesty may already be planning the next step, because there are only two countries to support the Baltic coast, one is the Kingdom of Riel Dean and the other is the Kingdom of Danerland.
"Denitz's old bone, a lifetime of fame, even if it is defeated in this time. Unfortunately, this old guy admired this old guy very much when he was a child. The reputation of a generation of famous generals, if you say defeat, you will lose.
"The stain..." Ma Daring said with emotion.
He is a person who likes to take risks and survive. From the standpoint of the Gauls, he is simply a Gallic traitor. The large amount of military strength of the Gallic king is completely in front of the Madaling's camp, and the fight of Gangliluo has not left much life. It can be imagined that if the motoring returns one day In his hometown, how many widows will want to bite him to death?
However, no one will understand Madaling's inner point of view. In Madaling's opinion, at this moment, he is not a Gaul, but a Norman, and he is also one of the main generals of the Normans.
"So, motoring, what do you think tomorrow's action should be operated?" Gang Liluo looked up and asked.
Gontillow's idea is actually simple, which is to wait for the effect of Totti's action. Once the whole south of Montreal is swept away, then Reinhardt will not let Montreal fall like this. He must save it. In fact, it is unpredictable what will turn out in the end. The only thing I can believe is that Totti will never come to Montreal for sightseeing.
"Wait!" Madaling's point of view is exactly the same as that of Gangliluo, and there is no difference.
