Chapter 1738 1739 Plan changes
Outside Anliqi, the dwarf soldiers who were preparing to attack suddenly discovered that there seemed to be more Tang Army troops in front of them.
Different from the Tang army who ran away after just two shots a few days ago, they seemed not to intend to give up Anliqi, but were preparing to have a serious fight with them outside Anliqi.
The dwarf commanders, who had been emboldened by the consecutive victories, felt that they might not be afraid of the opponent even if they fought a battle, so they immediately mobilized their troops and deployed their troops, preparing to kill the stragglers of the Tang army outside Anliqi first, and then charge forward. Enter Anli and plunder.
The calculation was very good, but the actual situation was not as smooth as they thought. Just after they deployed their troops and started to attack, a fact was finally proved: those in front of them were not the Tang Army's reconnaissance troops, and their number was even more Too scary.
On the Tang Army's position, a regiment commander grabbed the radio and loudly confirmed the situation of the battle: "Yes! Immediately cover the coordinates we provided with firepower! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Send them to hell!"
Along with his shouts, rockets flew over his head one after another. The huge noise made his shouts unclear, and the air was filled with the pungent smell left after burning. .
Immediately afterwards, these rockets shattered as they flew over the dwarf troops. The thin shells were blown away by the airflow, and the warheads inside were arranged neatly like grapes and scattered like stars.
These warheads fell like raindrops, as densely packed as yesterday's snowflakes. A few seconds later, the Tang army commanders who were standing on the starting position watching this feast felt the earth shake.
The mountains in the distance were almost instantly covered by the smoke raised by the explosion. Everything as far as the eye could see was filled with flames, and the entire battlefield was engulfed by the explosion.
After a while, a deafening sound floated over. Facing the noise, the Tang Empire's chariots began to roll forward, followed closely by thousands of soldiers.
"Long live the emperor! Attack!" Raising his arms high and slashing forward, a Tang Army company commander loudly encouraged his soldiers. Smelling the exhaust fumes left by the tanks, his soldiers stepped forward on the soft snow.
The Intruder attack plane flew over the road full of bomb craters, and two guided bombs soared into the sky and landed at the intersection, turning it into a huge crater.
The burning remains of a car parked at the intersection were missing, presumably having been completely dismembered by the bomb.
The dwarf soldiers who were still rushing and attacking yesterday finally recovered their lost memories. They finally remembered how terrible their opponents were, and finally realized how stupid they had done.
Along the way, they put themselves in their opponent's face, or even fed them into their opponent's mouth... But they already knew everything, and it was already too late.
Bombers destroyed communication lines, anti-radiation missiles took out active communication stations, and armed helicopters turned all the remaining tanks of the Eastern Front into burning scrap metal. The entire battlefield instantly turned into a **** on earth.
The 9th Army of the Ice Empire, which was at the forefront, faced at this moment the Air Force of the Tang Empire, which had rested for nearly ten days, and the 3rd Army, the top three elite troops.
These troops no longer had the problem of insufficient ammunition, nor were they burdened by long supply lines. They even waited for them for a day and a half near Anliqi... The Tang Army's counterattack was fatal from the beginning, and the 9th Army of the Dwarfs did not even have time to surrender. washed away. They could only keep running back, and they died on the side of the road in the wilderness.
As in the past, the completely paralyzed communication meant that Xie Ke had no idea what was going on. His troops did not even have time to send back feedback before they were killed together with the cavalry responsible for communication.
Countless soldiers raised their hands and surrendered, and hundreds of prisoners of war squatted in the fields, waiting for the Tang army to **** them back to the prisoner-of-war camp: weapons were beside them, but no one dared to touch them.
Even these prisoners of war were left unattended because the Tang army felt that they were not worth wasting their time.
All the troops were rolling forward, but the plan soon changed. Because the commanders of the Tang Army during the attack found that it seemed a little difficult for them to encircle and annihilate the Eastern Front Army of the Binghan Empire.
The opponent surrendered so quickly that the pocket formation that was originally intended to be fought turned into a three-pronged formation with the upper, middle and lower forces advancing side by side... The 3rd Army was pushing flat, rather than the planned pincer offensive.
Everyone was embarrassed. The troops in the middle fought so fast that they were almost approaching Darkas in one morning.
Now behind them, there are almost more than 200,000 dwarf prisoners of war... Even they themselves can't believe it. They themselves "captured" the entire Eastern Front Army of the Ice Empire.
At first they didn't take these prisoners of war seriously, but as they walked they realized that there seemed to be too many dwarves left behind.
As a result, a rare scene in the history of military warfare appeared: because it rushed too fast, the Tang army had to arrange for personnel to go back to find those dwarf prisoners who no one cared about, and organized them to build a prisoner of war camp to hold them on the spot.
There was no way, things happened too suddenly. According to Strauss' plan, a large number of prisoner-of-war camps would not be needed until a few days later, so the task of repairing prisoner-of-war camps was not arranged at all.
What makes people laugh or cry is that by the time the troops of the Tang Army turned back to look for the prisoners of war, almost one-fifth of the prisoners of war had frozen to death. They had no supplies to begin with, and they were frightened out of their wits. They had to wait there all morning without food or water, and the temperature was so low... it was a miserable life.
What's even more ridiculous is that these dwarf soldiers, who treat their own civilians like wolves and tigers, don't even have the courage to escape when facing the Tang army. They just wait in place, and few dare to leave.
Until this time, Xieko did not know that his army had collapsed. He also tried to prepare and hold on to Dalkas for a period of time, which would at least allow the Eastern Front to establish a decent defense line along the Pot River.
But what he never expected was that Tang Jun was actually not too far away from him at this time, and every time he arrived at a village, the local dwarf civilians even lined the streets to welcome these newly departed humans, and their warm looks were astonishing when they saw Bing Han. The soldiers of the Empire were completely different from each other.
For them, this is probably their second liberation...
