Chapter 706 Jie Shika's Car Fort (2 in 1)
Jeska, the general of the Kingdom of Bohemia, received an order from Bleda to protect the treasure looted from the Kingdom of Hungary.
"Hussite Legion, follow me."
Jeska led the not-so-well-equipped Hussite army out of the fortress, carrying a large number of carriages, each of which had about four pack horses.
"I have an ominous premonition, God bless."
Jie Shika knew that the eastern cavalry outside the city were not easy to provoke, so he followed Bleda's order to lead the Hussite army, and cooperated with the Hun cavalry in the king's city to support the treasure-hoarding city.
Large carriages rolled out ruts on the dirt road, and there were Hussite light cavalry and a small number of knights outside.
Even in the wild, the Hussite army can block the cavalry attack, and the grain, grass and water carried by the carriage can also be used as the army's supplies. Only then did Jeska have the courage to go out of the city.
"Hussite Legion, they have left the fortress."
The iron eagle scout cavalry was secretly observing the movement of the Hussite army, and immediately followed after the Hussite army left.
In a city of the Huns Empire, Chu Tian drove out the servants to attack the city. Groups of soldiers from the Gothic and Hunnic Empires were used as cannon fodder and used simple ladders to climb the city walls. Hundreds of soldiers rolled down from the ladders and suffered heavy losses.
Even so, Chutian remained indifferent, and the price of storming the city was as expected.
Having gone through many sieges, Chutian was a little numb. Anyway, what he was consuming was not his core force.
Under Chutian's offensive at any cost, the defenders could not stand alone.
The siege party deliberately encircled the city and let the defenders continue to ask for help from the king's city.
"Jesika's Hussite army has been dispatched, Tai Shici continues to besiege the city, and the rest of you, follow me to destroy this support army."
Chu Tian led the cavalry to block the Jieshika army.
Jie Shika's army repelled Fan Lihua's cavalry for a while, and they still had a little bit of trouble with Chu Tian.
Yekaterina asked: "How do you break Jie Shika's car castle? He should have a relatively high bonus to the car castle."
"Concentrate on attacking one point."
...
In the northern part of the Ukrainian Plain, the White Robe Legion was blocked, and a Polish hussar was holding back the White Robe Legion and preventing the White Robe Legion from advancing.
Zhao Yun was no stranger to Polish hussars, he broke off the stabbing lance and killed more than ten Polish hussars.
Baima Yicong was attacked by Polish hussars, and many cavalry were killed by Polish cavalry. Baima Yicong used horn bows, which also caused considerable casualties to Polish hussars.
Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army pulled out the ring-shouldered sword and fought hand-to-hand with the Polish hussars. The imposing Baipo army was not inferior to the Polish hussars when the cavalry charged and fought.
The attack of the Polish hussars on the White Robe Army was repelled again. Zhao Yun held his gun and looked at the retreating Polish hussars.
This group of cavalry is considered the most representative unit of Polish civilization. Their armor is between light cavalry and heavy cavalry. They have the mobility of Eastern cavalry and the impact of Western knights. It takes a lot of energy to kill Polish hussars.
Chen Qingzhi's face was solemn: "This cavalry general who keeps attacking us has been keeping a distance from us, probably to prevent the two generals from beheading him suddenly. Our journey has been delayed and many cavalrymen have been lost. This person is not an ordinary person. .”
Xue Rengui held Fang Tian's painted halberd that was still dripping blood: "At least two thousand Polish hussars died under our attack. He should not dare to come again."
"Let's go to join the lord as soon as possible."
Chen Qingzhi knew that the white-robed army had delayed the trip and might make a mistake, so the white-robed army collected the captured horses and marched faster.
After the White Robe Legion left, the cavalry general of the Kingdom of Poland who had been delaying the advance of Chen Qingzhi and others led the Polish hussars to appear and sweep the battlefield.
His legion suffered heavy losses. It is not rare, but the cost is also considered expensive. More than 2,000 Polish cavalry were killed and wounded.
Among the white-robed legion, like a white wave, there were two strong generals, and at least two hundred Polish cavalrymen were beheaded.
"Their purpose should be to join their lord, explaining that the king of the east is not among this cavalry..."
The Polish cavalry general thought for a while, and led the Polish hussars, followed the White Robe Army, and marched south.
...
"Stop!"
Jeska stopped the advance of the Hussite army, because he could already see the eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout.
When Iron Eagle Scout's Warhawk gained the advantage of vision, it also revealed that Chutian's cavalry was approaching.
Many lords in the west already know that some cavalry in the east will use war eagles to expand their horizons.
"Set up a double car array."
Jie Shika occupied a favorable terrain, spread out the carriage convoy, and assembled the train team, cavalry, and some infantry in the middle of the chariot formation, using forests and mountains as flanks for cover, and some infantry and tower shields, assisting in the defense of the chariot fortress.
Out of concern for Chutian's army, Jie Shika chose to deploy two lines of defense to prevent the line of defense from being breached by Chutian's cavalry.
The infantry of the Hussite Legion mainly used long-handled weapons, equipped with long-range weapons such as crossbow bolts and fire door guns, and focused on defense.
"As long as the opponent's main force is delayed, they will be powerless to attack the city. Just wait until His Majesty Attila returns..."
Jie Shika didn't have the courage to fight Chutian decisively. He just used himself as a bait to attract Chutian to attack him who was good at defense, so he couldn't attack the city.
Sure enough, not long after the war eagle was discovered, the scout cavalry of the Hussite Legion came back from the front and brought back news about the eastern cavalry.
The scout cavalry shouted: "The cavalry from the east is coming, there are at least 50,000 to 60,000 in number!!"
All the infantry and cavalry of the Hussite Legion cheered up. The eastern cavalry made the entire Hunnic Empire fearful.
In a short while, on the horizon ahead, a black line changed from thin to thick, from black line to black mass, all over the mountains and plains, and the red dragon flag and the double-headed eagle flag at the front were hunting!
Iron eagle scouts and Cossack cavalry were patrolling, and as vanguards, they were the first to appear in front of the Hussite army.
The Hussite infantry clenched their spears, long axes, and crossbows, nervously looking at the wolves-like cavalry. This cavalry is not only Chutian's cavalry, but also Yekaterina's cavalry.
If it weren't for the improved military vehicles as the city walls, when these infantry encountered groups of cavalry, their first reaction would probably be to turn around and flee.
The car fort defense line gave the infantry the confidence to fight against the knights.
"No one should panic and back off. We have enough food, water, and weapons. Horse-drawn carriages are our greatest reliance. At the same time, we must not fight lightly."
Jie Shika personally came to the first Chebao defense line, his only remaining eye narrowed slightly, and looked at the cavalry coming.
The cavalry on the opposite side wiped out the Golden Horde, their morale and confidence were full, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
Jie Shika could feel that the cavalry on the opposite side was extraordinary. Leaving the Chebao defense line, what awaited the Hussite army would be a one-sided massacre.
The infantry of the Hussite Legion almost held their breath, because they saw the iron eagle scouts equipped with eastern armor, and the Cossack cavalry wielding Cossack sabers. The cavalry on the opposite side stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow.
"That's Jie Shika's car castle? His car castle seems to have an additional defense bonus."
Chutian seldom confronted opponents with this special defensive type.
Hundreds of special carriages are connected in series using iron flails, with high guard plates, forming a long wall that stretches for thousands of meters. In the middle of the gap between the chariots, the Hussite infantry set up tower shields to make up for the distance of the air attack.
"It is said that for this kind of chariot, each troop has more than 10 soldiers as a group, ten vehicles as a unit, and several units as a company."
Yekaterina showed stability in the face of Jie Shika's car tactic, and she had some understanding of this car tactic.
"Dian Wei, you lead the Tiger Guards, get ready."
Chu Tian entrusts a reckless man like Dian Wei with the heavy responsibility of breaking through the Che Fort, intending to break through Jie Shika's Che Fort by force.
This is a struggle between spear and shield.
However, Dian Wei was also in danger of dying in battle.
The reliability of the car fort is not only in the defensive power of the chariot, but also in the crossbow and fire door guns used by the infantry behind the chariot to shoot and kill the enemy who attacked the car fort's defense line.
"Not only that, they also dug trenches in front of the Chebao defense line."
Hua Mulan noticed that Jeska's infantry were digging trenches, but due to the short time, the trenches had not yet formed.
"Disturb them and not make their moats take shape."
Ekaterina dispatched Cossack cavalry, using the maneuverability of the cavalry, began to harass Jeska's line of defense. Otherwise, the trench will be formed, and Jie Shika's Chebao tactics will enter its peak state.
"His Majesty the Great Tsar orders us to attack the soldiers of Bohemia!"
The Ukrainian Cossack leader Khmelnytsky drew his saber and personally led the Cossack light cavalry to attack the Chefort defense line of Jeska.
The infantry who had been digging trenches in front of the fort quickly withdrew behind the carriage. The nervous crossbowmen held crossbows. The infantry equipped with primitive firearms such as fire door guns hid behind the thick wooden guards or tower shields of the carriages. Rows of crossbows , Fire door guns aimed at the Cossack cavalry attacking the car fort.
As long as the Cossack cavalry dared to attack the Chebao defense line head-on, long-range weapons such as crossbows and fire door guns would teach the Cossack cavalry to be human.
A Cossack general bent his bow and shot an arrow, which stuck in the ground in front of the carriage.
Cossack cavalry operated beyond the range of the bow and arrow, as long as the infantry of the Hussite regiments did not continue to dig trenches.
"The equipment of this group of infantry is really confusing..."
Chu Tian led the cavalry to show off their power and patrolled outside Jie Shika's car fort.
Jie Shika's car fort has amazing defensive power, but lacks the ability to take the initiative to attack. The cavalry around Chutian made them dare not leave the car fort.
Leaving Chebao, there is only one dead end!
In other words, although Jie Shika is a famous player, he can only be a turtle.
"Your Majesty, this is information about the Battle of Linz and the two warring parties."
When the coalition forces of the western lords and Attila's army fought in the Linz area, many free players chose to risk their lives to watch the battle, and among them was Ekaterina's spies to collect relevant information.
"Alexander's Macedonian Legion suddenly broke out on the fourth day of the decisive battle, and the attributes of its army, including morale and physical strength, rose sharply. It is suspected that he has special characteristics that can greatly enhance the legion's strength in a battle. The panel and the rate of improvement should be one of the highest legion characteristics."
Ekaterina's vigilance against other civilizations in the Western Continent allowed her to obtain effective intelligence about other civilizations, the most noteworthy of which was the ability that Alexander used in the first war.
"This level of increase should have special restrictions, otherwise I bet, if there is no restriction, Alexander will definitely use this ability in every battle."
Chu Tian thought that his speculation should be correct.
Greatly improve the ability of the army panel. If Chutian has this ability, he will use it in every battle, and the lost troops will definitely be greatly reduced.
Alexander only uses it once every few years, which shows that his characteristics are particularly limited.
At present, various lords are speculating that his characteristic is restricted to be used only once a year, but there may be other restrictions that prevent Alexander from using it normally.
This is equivalent to the characteristics of the explosive type, and most of Chutian's characteristics are continuous characteristics.
Ekaterina gave Chu Tian a copy of the collected information: "There are also Romans, they have the Carthage legion, and they have begun to expand to North Africa. North Africa has no status. Rome wants to establish a colony there. .”
"Carthage, that is Rome's mortal enemy, was actually occupied by the Romans, which shows that Hannibal, the top general in Carthage (Tunisian civilized area), has not been recruited yet."
Chu Tian thought for a while. In the Carthage civilization, there might be Hannibal, the only holy general in Africa.
At present, Hannibal's name is not seen on the hero list. Carthage without Hannibal was destroyed by the Roman Legion, but it is possible.
"Carthage only has a population of 3 million. It is normal to be defeated by the Roman Legion. This Rome has a population of 20 million. Now it is more than 20 million. They already have a large colony."
As a lord who focuses on the Western Continent, Ekaterina has always maintained a high degree of concern for other civilizations in the Western Continent.
Opening the colonial mode is also an old tradition of Western lords.
The land and population of the West were divided up by various empires, and their population was not large enough. If they wanted to expand, they could only colonize the outside world.
The existence of the teleportation array has greatly reduced the cost of ruling the colony, and the cost of using the teleportation array can be apportioned to the population of the colony.
The Han Empire also had this tendency. Mingguan destroyed the Goryeo Kingdom and forcibly occupied the Goryeo Peninsula, which is somewhat similar to the Romans' destruction of Carthage.
"Also, Timur's siege of Vienna is over. Austrian Archduke Ferdinand's army suffered heavy losses. Hohenzollern may take the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the Holy Roman Emperor, and may even annex Austria and Hungary."
"That's not something we can control. The strength of these lords is quite impressive."
Chutian came to the Western Continent for the first time to fight, and he had some understanding of the situation in the Western Continent. The Western Continent is currently in a situation of separatist regimes. Because of the existence of players, it has opened up a colonial situation. Because no one can conquer the powerful civilizations in the Western Continent, they can only rely on the colonies to supplement their population and finances.
At present, Chutian is still unable to intervene in the affairs here, and Ekaterina's influence is limited to Eastern Europe.
"My lord, the White Robe Legion has come to join us!"
When Chutian was organizing an attack on Jie Shika's car fort, the White Robe Legion, which had not been heard from for a long time, finally arrived and joined Chutian.
"The schedule of the White Robe Legion is a bit later than expected. Chen Qingzhi and the others shouldn't have made such a mistake. What kind of trouble did they encounter? Let Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun come to see me."
Chu Tian wanted to know the reason why the White Robe Legion came so late.
When Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun arrived, they still had a faint smell of blood on their bodies. It is estimated that a big battle broke out not long ago.
"There is a group of Polish hussars delaying us on the way. It may be the cavalry general of the Kingdom of Poland. The opponent's loss should be higher than ours."
Chen Qingzhi explained the reason.
"Polish hussars?"
Chu Tian looked at Ekaterina, she had a team of Polish hussars under her command.
"Look at what I'm doing. The Polish hussars are a unique unit of the Polish kingdom. Some important generals or nobles in Polish civilization are eligible to recruit Polish hussars. Polish heroes who can delay the White Robe Legion should be among the best in Polish civilization. Yes."
Catherine's few generals were also heroes swept over from the Kingdom of Poland.
In the eyes of the Eastern lords, the Kingdom of Poland is a small country, but in fact, its population is half that of France, plus allies such as Lithuania, the population is large, and it was also very strong for a period of time in history. The Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Teutonic Knights , Ottoman Turkey Empire were defeated by Polish cavalry.
In every civilization, the ancestors have time to pass.
"Although the Polish hussars lost a lot, they may follow us and participate in this battle."
Chen Qingzhi reminded Chu Tian.
"Warhawk has spotted two groups of cavalry approaching, and the number of cavalry is hundreds of thousands."
"Hundreds of thousands? They can't all be Polish hussars."
Chu Tian did not believe that the Polish generals of the Hunnic Empire could recruit such a large number of cavalry. Most of them should be ordinary Hunnic cavalry and Polish cavalry.
Now Chutian and Ekaterina are facing Jie Shika's car castle, and there are more than 100,000 cavalry outside.
"The cavalry from all over the place are finally willing to come out."
After Chutian turned his target into the booty plundered by Attila, the Hunnic Empire finally couldn't hold back.
Chu Tian wanted to take this batch of treasures, and also defeated the Chebao and cavalry in front of him.
"Boss, our cavalry has arrived!"
The Hussite Legion was blocked by Chutian inside the car fort and did not dare to move. They saw the Huns and Polish cavalry appearing next to Chutian's Eastern cavalry.
The two cavalry are the reinforcements of the Hussite army!
"We have more troops than the opponent, but we are still unable to attack."
Jie Shika knows Che Bao's weakness.
The mobility of the chariot is worse than that of the most cumbersome heavy cavalry. Once it takes the initiative to attack, the chariot will be in chaos due to inconsistent actions and will be broken by the cavalry.
Continuing to stick to it is the best way.
"But the leader, this is a chance to defeat the Eastern Cavalry and become famous in one fell swoop."
"We Hussite Legion can prove our strength to the world."
The generals of the Hussite Legion asked to cooperate with the cavalry of the more than 100,000 Huns in the periphery to defeat the cavalry of Chutian and Ekaterina in one fell swoop.
In their view, their side has already occupied an absolute superiority in military strength.
"Still unable to attack."
Jie Shika firmly disagrees with leaving Chebao.
In the periphery, the Polish cavalry generals following the White Robe Legion gathered 100,000 cavalry from various pastures of the Hunnic Empire, and joined the 50,000 cavalry sent from the king city of the Hunnic Empire, making a total of 150,000 cavalry.
Jeska's Hussite legion consisted of about 40,000 troops of various branches.
Among the 150,000 cavalry, the core is a few thousand Polish hussars and a few thousand Hun eagle shooters.
Polish generals rode war horses, and behind them were Polish hussars equipped with special wing decorations. They were also equipped with excellent war horses, extra-long lances, and slightly curved sabers.
"Eastern cavalry, do you want to fight with them?"
This Polish military general had experienced the military power of the White Robe Legion when he was blocking the White Robe Legion. He was hesitating whether to launch an attack, or just confront the Eastern Cavalry like this, as long as he delayed the Eastern Cavalry and let them throw a mouse.
"General, the eastern cavalry has launched an attack!"
When the Polish general hesitated, the White Robe Legion, who had been harassed by him for a long time, took the initiative to attack the 150,000 Huns-Polish cavalry!
"Polish hussars, let's fight!"
The Polish general drew out the saber specially used for the hussars, and commanded 150,000 cavalry to meet the White Robe Army!
...
In the eastern waters of the British Isles, two huge fleets clashed. The large Galen ship of the English overturned the longship of the Viking warrior. The sharp angle of collision tore the longship of the Viking into two pieces. Falling into the icy sea, losing combat power!
The huge Galen ship rolled over the heads of the group of Viking warriors who fell into the water, and the water churned by the hull caused the drowning people to suffer.
It's winter, and the sea is freezing cold.
In the Elizabethan era in the 16th century, the legendary English privateer captain, Francis Drake, led the Royal Fleet recently formed by the English lord Charles to launch a counterattack against the Viking civilization and King Canute who invaded England.
Although in the early days of the rise of the barbarians, all civilizations were uncomfortable, each traditional kingdom and empire had its own characteristics, heroes, and heritage. When these traditional civilizations became familiar with the combat style and intensity of the barbarians, they began to target each barbarian civilization. Launch a counterattack.
The English Royal Fleet led by Drake finally captured the Vikings' pirate fleet and crushed it with its tall hull and hard ramming angle.
"Avoid board battles with them, the Vikings excel in hand-to-hand combat, true naval combat, they are inferior to our heroic sailors, victory belongs to England."
In Drake's eyes, the surface of the sea where the fire spread was reflected, and burning planks floated on the waves.
The expression of Canute the Great must have been very angry at this time. The English did not choose to fight hand-to-hand, but used large ships to solve the threat from the Vikings from the sea.
"We have fallen into the trap of the English!"
Just as the cunning Drake imagined, Canute the Great of the Viking civilization saw the Viking warship being destroyed by the Royal Fleet, and his expression was distorted. Compared with the large Galen ship, the Viking longship shrank a lot circle, and Drake led it to the ambush circle of the Royal Fleet, in order to completely wipe out the Viking pirates.
