Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 209

“Is the ground shaking?”

In the queue of the sixth division of Enkelan, a veteran who was hurrying up looked up and asked his comrade-in-arms beside him. Facing his sudden inquiry, his comrade-in-arms looked blank and said, “Are you hallucinating? There is nothing. .”

“Impossible, the ground is indeed shaking.” The veteran said stubbornly, and at this moment, a soldier behind him also noticed it. He frowned slightly and interjected: “I also feel it, the ground is indeed shaking.”

“what are you guys saying?”

An officer who just passed by on horseback heard their discussion, slowed down his horse, and asked the veteran. The veteran first saluted, and then said, “Sir, we all feel that the ground seems to be shaking.”

“The ground shakes?”

The officer looked confused, he stopped the horse, turned over and dismounted, not caring about the so-called image, put his face on the ground, and carefully distinguished the sound from the ground, although the footsteps of the surrounding infantry marching occupied the most important thing he heard. sound, but he still discerned another muffled rumbling from far to near, and also felt the slight vibration of the ground.

The experienced officer immediately identified the source of these sounds—it was clearly the sound made when a large group of cavalry ran at the same time!

“A cavalry is coming towards us!”

The officer jumped up from the ground, got on his horse, and ran in the direction of the division commander at the front of the queue, preparing to tell the top commander the news. Not only did he discover this, but also some other veterans and officers in the team. He also sensed the shaking of the ground one after another, and soon, the news that a cavalry was coming here reached the ears of the sixth division commander Harper.

Harper did not immediately realize that this might be the enemy’s cavalry coming here. Although he had previously learned from the rout that his cavalry had been intercepted on the way, he still retained the friendly victory. I thought, thinking that this might be the friend who defeated the enemy and then came to join him.

But at the same time, he also ordered the officers to organize soldiers to prepare for battle. If the cavalry coming here were the enemy, they would have to line up on the open plain to meet the enemy.

Fighting in this kind of terrain, the cavalry can exert the greatest combat effectiveness, which is also a point of concern for all Enkelland officers, including Harper.

Soon, the fluke that Harper had kept in his heart was slapped hard by reality.

“Our cavalry is here?”

As a fast-moving black spot appeared on the horizon in the distance, the soldiers of the 6th Division were all looking forward to seeing the battle flag held high by their cavalry in the rising smoke. As the dots approached, a large group of more black dots appeared behind the black dots. Those black dots almost covered the entire horizon. From their angle, it was extremely shocking.

It was at this moment that Harper felt a very strong sense of unease.

“Send the order, stop the march, list the anti-cavalry hollow phalanx on the spot, and prepare for battle!”

Harper shouted to the adjutants and officers next to him. Those officers also realized that something was wrong, and turned away in a hurry to convey the general’s order. Soon, the marching sixth division and the first brigade fell into In the chaos, under the scolding and maintenance of the officers, the soldiers formed a large hollow phalanx with the battalion as the center. Like a flag, it attracted the soldiers of the unit to surround it.

While they were arranging the phalanx, the first black spots finally revealed their true faces. Through the smoke raised by the horseshoe, the Enklan soldiers were surprised to recognize the Enklan cavalry, the Enklan cavalry. The embarrassed appearance of the cavalry was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every soldier, making them nervous.

“It seems our cavalry has been defeated.”

Harper murmured to himself. Around him, the soldiers had formed a tight hollow phalanx, protecting the supreme commander in the center of the phalanx. The rifle in his hand is loaded with ammunition and the bayonet is inserted.

The division commander quickly reacted, and he ordered to the adjutant beside him: “Kent, you go to pick up the gang of defeated soldiers, let them disperse into the hollow phalanx formed by each battalion, and dismount to assist the enemy.”

“As ordered, General!”

The adjutant led the way, rushed out of a passage reserved by the phalanx infantry, and ran to meet the fleeing Enkelan cavalry. At the same time, Harper observed the enemy chasing his cavalry through the monocular in his hand. He noticed that almost all of the enemies were wearing armor, and among them were dragoons with horses and guns.

“It seems that this is a group of powerful enemies.” He sighed in his heart, and was even more uneasy about the next battle. He had also heard more or less about the prestige of the cuirassiers charging, and the enemy army was also mixed with The dragoons equipped with guns, the salvo fired by those dragoons before the charge was enough to disrupt the position of the phalanx infantry on the defensive side, opening the way for the subsequent charge of the cavalry.

However, compared to the imperial cavalry in front of him, what he cared more about was the 5th Division that had been following behind him. The anti-cavalry hollow phalanx was very effective against the cavalry, but if it was fighting the enemy infantry, it was only possible to rely on one side. Soldiers’ shooting, they are far inferior to the enemy in terms of firepower.

Coupled with the fact that he is now facing the enemy on both sides, he is very worried that the morale of the soldiers in the army will be hit as a result, and they will be defeated under the attack of the enemy infantry, which will cause a chain reaction that radiates the entire battlefield.

“Damn!” he cursed in his heart.

On the other side, the imperial cavalry chasing the Enkelan cavalry saw that the enemy infantry had begun to deploy anti-cavalry, UU read www.uukanshu. com gradually slowed down and watched the Enkelan cavalry fleeing into the infantry formation. El Brennan, the commander of the 1st Cuirassier Division, put the saber back into the scabbard, looked at Tommy Hamill, the commander of the 2nd Dragoon Division, and said:

“Let’s just wait here for the follow-up infantry to arrive. With our deterrence, the Enkelans will not dare to move.”

“Well, I will send someone to inform the people of the fifth division, and tell them not to take the initiative to attack first, and wait for the second and third divisions to converge before launching an attack.” Major General Hamill agreed, and then gave his adjutant a few words. , the adjutant left the formation with a few cavalry.

“Tsk tsk, nearly 10,000 enemies, I am afraid they will be damaged here today.” Brennan said with emotion.

“Today will be the death day of the Enkelans.” Hamill nodded.

They didn’t know that the 10th and 11th divisions of Enkelan, who were sent out behind the cavalry, were also heading here. This unknown small plain will erupt in a few hours. A massive battle of thousands!
