Chapter seven hundred and twentieth?(2/2)
Once pursued with full force, the military formation will inevitably disintegrate.
That was something the Donghai soldiers were eager to do. After all, the opponent still had an advantage in terms of numbers.
Marshal Ericson has always been known for his caution and thoroughness. Naturally, he is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. He issued a fatal order from the beginning and was not allowed to advance rashly or pursue the enemy for merit.
In the First Army led by Marshal McGee, the Third Army led by Marshal Tagore, or the Fifth Army composed of pure Kentana barbarians, there may be some thorny front-line commanders who will act in disobedience to military orders when their heads get hot.
Decide.
This situation will never happen to the Third Army, because Marshal Ericson is the commander of the Yongye Army who loves coordinated operations the most and implements it most thoroughly.
If you want to work together like a precision machine, the two most important and core points are obedience and discipline.
Even if that kind of thorn is not picked out immediately, it will be smoothed out through repeated training and become a member of the entire military formation.
It was not without reason that Sean chose the Third Army to be stationed at Jiangmen Port.
After the Donghai soldiers took the initiative to withdraw from the encirclement, the two breakout corps did not retreat in a hurry. They stationed themselves in a defensive formation and waited for the two archer corps and the two tail corps to catch up before slowly advancing.
From beginning to end, the Third Army maintained a complete formation. If the Donghai soldiers launched another attack, they could form a larger and more complete defensive formation at any time.
A standard turtle formation, with spears and shield walls on all sides, surrounding the archer phalanx in the middle.
If the soldiers of the East China Sea want to attack their phalanx, they must first suffer intensive long-range attacks from the longbowmen. If the leader of the Yongye Army had not planned a bigger plan, at least an artillery battalion (twenty towed infantry) would have to be added to this long-range attack.
guns and thirty portable mortars).
When they reach the medium and short range, if the defense formation of the Yongye Army leader is fully prepared, they will face dense mine formations and various obstacles. Even without these, if the attackers are too dense, they will still have to accept the attack.
The devastation of gunpowder grenades.
After experiencing repeated baptisms, they were able to attack the main military formation.
When it comes to cold weapon warfare alone, the military formation led by the Yongye Army is enough to stand out among the heroes and is one of the best in the entire Ashan continent.
Not to mention the incorporation of black magic technology and thermal weapons into it, giving rise to unimaginable monsters.
When fighting against a force like the East China Sea that is not good at infantry regiment combat, it is not a one-hit-to-one attack, resulting in a shocking contrast in casualties.
"It's so arrogant, so arrogant! They almost treat us as if we don't exist."
"They are just so arrogant."
Captain Cornell and Captain Lina all looked livid with anger.
In their eyes, the Third Army's unhurried actions were a naked provocation and a slap in the face.
Unfortunately, I was about to explode, but I didn't dare to take action.
They have rich experience in battle and know that although morale is invisible and intangible, it is real and is very critical to the outcome of a war.
Their previous retreat had depleted most of the morale of the soldiers in the East China Sea.
If an attack is organized hastily at this time, even if more soldiers land and their numerical advantage becomes greater, they may not be able to gain favor.
After paying a higher price, they still allowed the other party to withdraw.
Now they have lost their teeth and have to swallow it.
I could only watch helplessly as they left in a majestic manner.
It has to be said that the enemy they faced this time was not only powerful, but also cautious.
From beginning to end, there was no opportunity left for them to take advantage of. When they were five kilometers away from Jiangmen Port, they decisively withdrew the tracking troops.
The response troops at Jiangmen Port have already set up a formation there, just like the turtle formation.
If they continue to chase, once they accidentally enter the opponent's mine array, the opponent may counterattack and eat up their tracking troops.
The blocking force led by the Yongye Army retreated.
King Steubin's envoy arrived and said loudly and expressionlessly: "Your Majesty has summoned the two fleet captains and asked you to return to the Izumo immediately."
