Chapter 104: 104 Don’t miss the mark
Chapter 104 104 Don’t miss the mark
On the other side, in Susus' military formation, on a gentle **** at a high place, Tuqi was riding a war horse, staring at the flank battlefield with black smoke rising.
His henchmen led troops across the roadbed on the other side, but a battle soon broke out. Things were developing in a direction beyond his expectation, and seemed to be becoming more and more out of control.
The weird explosion and the gunshots he had never heard before made Tucci uneasy until he saw a knight running towards him, bringing him some shocking news.
"General! There is half a battalion of enemy troops on the other side of the road! Our troops are already in formation and preparing for battle!" The knight reported the latest news, and then stopped in place to wait for Tucci's order.
Tuqi looked at another of his men and immediately ordered: "Take people to reinforce and annihilate the lone army in Beiling!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the officer was about to take the people away. But at this time, another knight rushed over, stopped beside Tucci, and reported loudly: "General! Captain Mas asked me to ask for reinforcements...the other party..."
"It's too late..." Tuqi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mas is the bravest general under my command. He sent two messengers so quickly... The situation over there is worse than I thought."
As he spoke, he looked at his men who were just about to lead the troops: "March quickly! Don't bring the artillery! Get over there as soon as possible and help Mas stabilize his position!"
"Yes, General!" The officer quickly left with the order, and there was another burst of intensive gunfire in the direction of the village. The legion led by Viscount Romel, who had finally organized a third charge, was again attacked. Fight back and come back.
The disgraced Sussian soldiers seemed unable to muster the courage to climb over the seemingly weak low wall.
At this small fork in the road, the three legions led by the famous general Tucci of Susas and 4,500 people led by Viscount Romell actually fought fiercely for almost two hours, but they were still standing still.
"The opponent is not a battalion! Absolutely not!" Tucci frowned, looked at the battlefields on both sides repeatedly, and then said to his adjutant: "It can't be a battalion at all! If the opponent is a battalion, how can it be between two Are there such dense gunshots from all directions?”
"But... General, if the opponent has deployed half of their troops here, wouldn't it mean that 800 people are facing our 5,000 troops on the front battlefield?" the adjutant said with some surprise.
"Weird...everything here is weird!" Tucci couldn't say, so he complained to the adjutant a little irritably: "Could it be that there are actually two legions in Beiling? 3,000 armies?"
"This is possible..." the adjutant thought for a while and said: "Fishereau is very cunning. He probably secretly hid some troops and only brought them out at the critical moment..."
"That's why I hate these conspirators the most." Tucci held the reins of his war horse and said through gritted teeth: "Those **** of Cyric assured me that the weapons in Beiling can't arm so many troops! "
"They said that they had sent a large number of unqualified muskets to Beiling before, saying that as long as there was a fight, Beiling's troops would quickly collapse..." He pointed to the village in the distance as he spoke: "But in this small town At the small Sanchakou, I was blocked by more than 700 troops! "
He doesn't know yet, but Tang Mo's army does actually only have one battalion, but the establishment of this battalion is a bit excessive, and it is not the establishment of a battalion that he is familiar with.
But he didn't know yet that it was Tang Mo's two companies that defeated a battalion of his number one general Mas, rather than any troops with superior strength.
Of course, he also doesn’t know that Mas’s army has been completely defeated. Almost half of the three legions in his hand, totaling 4,500 soldiers, have lost their combat effectiveness...
At a glance, a group of Sussus soldiers left behind their heavy weapons, artillery and messy baggage, and began to move towards the road.
But before these soldiers moved near the road, some broken soldiers fled back in embarrassment on the other side of the road.
These broken troops impacted our own lines, making our troops, which were already a little messy because of the rush, even more chaotic.
Tucci’s eyes widened, and he looked at his defeated army in disbelief, and his brain briefly shut down.
He really didn't expect that his most valued confidant, a battalion of 500 people, would be defeated by the enemy in less than an hour when he led a battalion of 500 people on a mission.
According to his experience, in this case, even if the opponent has more than twice the number of troops, Mas can hold on for at least three hours!
"What's going on? What's going on? What happened?" Tuqi subconsciously tightened the reins, and the horse spun around in a circle, snoring violently as if it was irritated.
He brought 3,000 men from the south and marched northwest in order to attack Fischereau from both sides and get rid of this scourge stuck in the neck of his southward legion.
As long as Fischerot is eliminated and his troops advance to the North Ridge, he can eliminate the risk of the opponent's flanking attack and encirclement of the southward legion, and become strategically invincible.
To this end, he brought a full 3,000 men, plus the 1,500 men of Viscount Romel, as well as the 5,000 troops originally lying in front of the North Ridge Army. There were more than 6 legions, with a total strength of nearly 10,000. The advantage is mine! Flying dragon rides on the face! He felt that he was sure of victory, and he couldn't figure out how to lose against 1,500 people against 10,000 people.
However, what he didn't expect was that he would fight an unknown opponent at this little-known intersection without even seeing Fischereau.
At this moment, he saw that the commotion on the other side of the road seemed to be getting more intense. He raised his telescope, and through the lenses of the telescope, he saw some troops he had never seen before appearing on the other side of the road.
Immediately afterwards, these people walked across the road with neat steps, and stood down along the road, facing the chaotic Sussus troops, raising their rifles.
A burst of white smoke billowed, followed by the sound of gunshots. After firing the shot, these condescending soldiers began to reload amidst the billowing white smoke.
They did not lower the rifle and point the muzzle upward, nor did they remove the purge bar under the muzzle to clear the chamber.
These soldiers who had never seen before just lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, pulled the bolt on the side, and then simply cleaned the barrel of the gun, and quickly inserted a new bullet.
Under Tuqi's shocked eyes, it only took more than ten seconds for these soldiers to pick up their rifles again and pull the trigger at the Sussus troops not far away.
The second round of volleys came as expected, and Tucci felt that his mouth was dry, and even shouting became difficult.
He even wanted to rush over and grab a weapon from the opponent's hand to take a closer look at what it looked like.
The adjutant saw the chaos in the distance and looked at his superior. He saw Tucci standing there in a daze, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "General! The opponent's troops are crossing the road... Our troops are too chaotic. Should we ask them to withdraw?"
"Let them retreat! Mas's troops have collapsed... If he comes back, bring him to see me." Tucci came back to his senses and accepted the reality depressedly - the troops he sent out to try to flank the enemy were killed by the enemy. The top is back.
The signal soldiers who received the order immediately took action. They rode their tall horses down the small high ground and galloped towards the chaotic crowd.
What Tuqi and his adjutants didn't notice was that at another high point in the distance, on the road, Tang Mo stood there, looking at the small hillside full of knights, and put down his telescope.
“Did you see that **** over there?” Tang Mo pointed at the breakthrough where Tucci was, and turned back to ask a soldier.
"I see it! Sir!" The soldier nodded immediately, indicating that he had seen it clearly.
"You and I calculate the parameters together! Use the artillery position as a reference!" Tang Mo glanced at the artillery student who was deliberately selected to stand here with him, and said, "You are the artillery student with the best grades! Don't be nervous. ! Just do what you should do.”
Tang Mo knew that his troops were small and it was impossible to sweep the entire battlefield with casualties. It is basically impossible to take the initiative to defeat 2,000 people with less than 200 troops.
Therefore, he never expected his infantry to sweep across the battlefield. All he wanted was to find the enemy's headquarters and attack there with artillery fire.
His cannon has a range of 3 kilometers, which can cover all battlefields. As long as the parameters are calculated correctly and there are no mistakes in shooting Zhu Yuan, he is confident that he can use his new artillery shells to kill the opponent's command structure.
This is his tactic, and it is almost the least costly solution. So, he raised his thumb and pointed at the **** in the distance.
The artillery student standing not far from him also gave a thumbs up and began to measure the distance. He was very serious and unfocused, as if the brutal fighting on the battlefield had nothing to do with him.
Soon, Tang Mo put a notebook on his waist and wrote down a coordinate parameter. The artillery student also wrote down a number and handed it to Tang Mo.
The two numbers are very close, which proves that there shouldn’t be much of a problem with the accuracy of this number. So Tang Mo tore off the paper from the notebook and handed it along with the student's paper to a soldier holding a horse beside him: "Give it to Redman! Tell him, this time, don't miss it!"
"Yes!" The soldier got on his horse, pulled the reins, and galloped away in the direction he came from.
In the distance, Tu Qi was riding a tall horse on a hillside and happened to see a vague figure standing on the road. He stared at the other person subconsciously and seemed to feel that the figure was looking at him.
