Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 168: big rout

"Move! Move!"

"Dig this hole deeper, you **** lazy dog!"

Outside the Castle of Moldo, the Rumont soldiers were enthusiastically building a defensive position. They dug chest-high trenches on the ground, and built parapets with the dug mounds behind the trenches, allowing the soldiers to use these parapets to avoid projectiles.

Under the command of Major General Ole Ndom, more than 12,000 soldiers of Rumont's army were scattered over wide positions, and behind them, on the only road leading directly to the Republic of Enkelan, two Two thousand line infantry led by the brigade commander and more than one thousand National Army guerrillas set up several ambush circles to ensure that the enemy from the rear could not threaten the main force commanded by Major General Ndom.

Before the two newly formed troops of the Parliament of the Republic of Enklan set off, the Rumont army in the Moldo region first fought with the Enklan reinforcements that came, and more than 12,000 soldiers deployed on the position were equipped. The more advanced rifled guns and the number of artillery pieces are not lost to the enemy, so each of them is full of confidence.

The two infantry divisions of the 5th and 6th Divisions of the 2nd Army of Enkelan were on the offensive mission. They had already learned the bad news of the defeat of the friendly forces on their way there, so they both fought against the enemy forces in the Moldo region. Full of the highest alert.

At the same time, they are also very aware of the importance of regaining control of the area to the war situation. If they cannot retake the area as soon as possible, it will only be a matter of time before the main army on the front line is defeated.

Under such heavy pressure, it was also difficult for the two division commanders to remain calm. After they only carried out the first round of tentative attacks, they came to a pessimistic conclusion: unless they added another division or even more troops, Otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy in front of you. The fierce firepower of the enemy is afraid that the infantry will be defeated before they can rush to the front. Even if they reach close to shooting, the enemy's bunker can offset most of the projectiles.

And this is indeed the case. In the early days of the war between the two armies, a large number of Enkelan soldiers accompanied by rhythmic drum beats, marched in a neat pace to attack the enemy's positions, and the artillery shells fired by the two sides occasionally brushed over their heads. , making a harsh whistling sound.

The enemy's artillery shells will also fall into the crowd from time to time, driving a **** path inside, and anyone who is touched by the shells will be killed or injured.

Amid the rumbling of cannons, Enkelan finally came within two hundred meters, which was exactly the beginning of the nightmare - those Rumont hunters who kept the skirmish line fired recklessly and marched with their superb marksmanship soldiers and officers in .

Compared with ordinary soldiers, the more gorgeous uniforms of the officers became the most conspicuous targets. It is said that the officers are the backbone of an army. The Lumont soldiers were crushed and smashed by the volley of fire...

After several attacks, officers once again became a high-risk occupation. Those grass-roots officers who were lucky enough to survive or have not yet participated in the war quickly took off their military uniforms representing their identities and put on ordinary private uniforms. The veterans who were promoted in the front line also refused to change. Put on officer's uniform.

However, this still failed to save their lives. In the next attack, the Rumont hunters were still able to infer who the officer was through their gestures and shoot to kill. Although there would be "manslaughter", but The problem is not that big, anyway, all the dead are enemies, and there is no difference between officers and ordinary soldiers.

At the same time when the fifth and sixth divisions suffered setbacks in their attacks, on the battlefield in Belvin Province, the two commanders of the Enkelan Corps finally made up their minds to retreat. Tens of thousands of people eating horses every day was a horror. , coupled with the fact that they are in a state of intense engagement, ammunition stocks are also declining rapidly.

If they don't retreat and break out of the siege, the more than 60,000 soldiers trapped in the two armies will fall into the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food. At that time, there is no need to wait for the enemy to take the initiative to attack, and the angry and desperate soldiers will be able to raise a mutiny and end the war.

At this critical moment, the life and death of the troops on the front lines that are still at war with the enemy are not so important. They would rather take the responsibility of killing thousands of soldiers than let the two armies be completely buried here, so in the With the unanimous consent of the two commanders, the order to retreat was issued from the joint command and quickly spread throughout the army.

Then, the Enklan army who received the order to retreat began to retreat slowly. They abandoned a lot of useless things on the positions and camps to speed up the withdrawal. The troops that were still stuck with the enemy on the front line also covered each other and retreated in an orderly manner. , surrendering the devastated position.

However, how could the Rumen army let them retreat easily? After realizing that the enemy was about to retreat, the Rumen army, which was deadlocked with it, launched a full-line attack again. This time, they pressed all their forces and launched the most violent attack on the enemy— - The prepared Enkelan army was able to cope with the offensive of the Rumont army, which was dominated by the National Army, but with the participation of the Rumont regular army, the battle situation changed rapidly.

That's right, it was the same 4th Division. The 4th Division of the Fifth Army once again made a great contribution. They gathered the grenadiers of the whole division, acted as vanguards, and blasted the Enkelan army with a dense grenade thrown. The Grenadiers were indeed the most elite troops in the division. Under their onslaught, the Enkelan soldiers were defeated and fled in embarrassment.

Although the nearby Enkelan army heard the news and intended to cover the retreat of the friendly forces, the catastrophic rout had already begun. First a few soldiers fled, and then more and more people joined one of the rout soldiers. Panic was like the plague. Quickly swept the battlefield~www.readwn.com~ The defeated troops like headless flies also swept away the incoming friendly army.

The consequences of a large number of officers being killed in battle and the general low morale of the soldiers were quickly revealed. The troops that had withdrawn in an orderly manner became chaotic. During the retreat, many soldiers took the opportunity to escape from the ranks and turned into rout troops living in the countryside. These chaotic troops It soon became a robber bandit that endangered the security, but was quickly wiped out by the local active guerrillas.

The big rout that the top brass of the Enklan army were afraid to see broke out. The rout soldiers, who lost their discipline, fled into the nearby villages and towns to loot. The officers tried to stop them at first, but they soon joined the robbery. , and even conduct organized looting and massacre of civilians under the command.

The entire central and western parts of Belvin Province became a mess. The retreating Enkelan army had no time to take care of the defeated friendly forces. The Rumont army that was still chasing behind put a lot of pressure on them. Bad news came from the rear from time to time. It made the retreating high-level Enkelan army feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they were all cold.

It's over, everything is over, unless they can organize the army to stop the enemy's pursuit, otherwise everyone will be over!
