Chapter 27 27 Absurd Combat

He even thought the cavalry at Alanhill was there to delay and tire his cavalry. Therefore, he simply no longer struggled with these cavalry scouts, and led his troops south to the main Alanhill army, which was entirely centered on infantry.

Dumbran, who has been suffocated and tiresome, was completely annoyed by Alanhill's rangers when he went all the way south, and all he wants now is to have a good fight with the opponent. , to give full play to the advantages of your cavalry in moving speed and impact.

Although he had heard of the bizarre defeat of Maine's army in the eastern woods, he felt that his troops could take advantage of their speed to immediately get close to Alanhill's troops, and could disable any ranged weapons on the other side.

In fact, he did exactly what he envisioned and completed his tactical arrangement: when his troops appeared on the horizon, Chris, who was in a hurry to know that the opponent's cavalry had been killed, did not do anything at all. Good fight ready.

On the frontal battlefield, his three battalions of infantry were just taking their formation. The 30 artillery pieces of the rear team did not build any firing positions, and the camp was in chaos. Vagron personally restrained these recruits and stabilized the entire 1st regiment.

However, the 1st regiment, which had just stabilized its position, found that the opponent's cavalry had already formed a formation and was crushed by the grandiose from the front.

Immediately afterwards, both Chris and Vagron, and even the opposing commander Dumbran, found that the battle situation in front of them was completely beyond their imagination. Even at the start of the battle, the commanders on both sides were shocked not to issue a valid order.

On this side, the infantrymen who had to dig trenches according to the requirements of the code of conduct were not at all ready to fight, so under the restraint of all the officers, the entire infantry fought in accordance with the previous habits and used their own methods. The defense against the enemy cavalry was launched.

Vagron galloped between the three huge infantry phalanxes, urging everyone not to retreat, because once the defeat began, the mobility behind him would be low, and the artillery that was preparing to fire would be completely exposed to the enemy. under the blade.

As a result, in the next second, the ready grenadiers in the first row started to attack the enemy cavalry about 150 meters away.

The battlefield is in chaos, and the consequences of inadequate recruit training make Chris nearly lose his most crucial battle. But just a moment later, the situation on the battlefield changed with Heaven and Earth turning upside down.

Seeing that the opponent's cavalrymen who were 100 meters away turned their backs on their horses and were swept down by 300 modern rifles at once. What's even more desperate is that Alanhill's grenadier is not holding an ancient flintlock gun.

After a bullet and a crackle of gunshots, the two-time live-fired recruits finally remembered what they had to do. They got into their own rhythm, emboldened by the sound of gunfire.

I saw that the soldiers in the first row did not stop at all, and immediately released the right hand holding the trigger, mechanically pulled the bolt on the side, and pushed a new bullet into the chamber of the gun. within.

"Bah!" Before the cavalry on the opposite side realized that the end was coming, the second volley of infantry had completely determined the outcome - the opponent's cavalry had not approached a distance of 100 meters , has been knocked out about half of the living force.

From the beginning to the end, the cavalry of the earthen fort was not able to enter the distance that the bows and arrows they carried could attack - the soldiers of the other side who seemed to have no armor protection, at this moment to them, it was like Far in the sky.

No matter how hard they tried, the distance of dozens of meters seemed like a gulf that they couldn't cross. It was a feeling of powerlessness that came from the heart, it was a deep-rooted despair.

Chris was really confused by the sight in front of him. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh: he gave these soldiers advanced weapons and equipment, and also gave them tactics to crush opponents. In this war environment, an army at the level of the First World War played the battle scene of the Napoleonic era.

The cannons were deployed by Vagron at the rear of the soldiers' phalanx, trying to take advantage of their range to destroy the opposing cavalry units before they could attack. However, because of the temporary engagement, these artillerymen have not played their due role until now.

Then, those soldiers armed with Mauser 98K rifles began to stand on the spot, form a one by one phalanx, pick up their weapons, and pour themselves out to distant opponents. of ammunition.

The densely packed bullets hit the enemy in the distance, and the bullets penetrated the opponent's armor. When the opponent suffered heavy losses, the soldiers who were originally in the back row of the phalanx strode forward and crossed The soldiers in the front row who reloaded the five-round magazines and started a new round of shooting...

It's like the "three-stage shot" of the World War II weapon version, and Chris is almost crying without tears. : The weapons and equipment he provided have evolved into such a nondescript and strange formation under the ravages of the times.

"Bah!" Another salvo started when Chris was thinking about it. Thousands of soldiers stepped by step like rolling wheels, crushing the cavalry in the far distance. A spectacle has appeared in human history. The phalanx of infantry moved forward little by little, rushing towards the enemy cavalry in the distance...

The battle is not over yet, just in Dongbulan When he finally realized that the opponent's weapon was not something his own cavalry could defeat, the 30 cannons behind Vagron were ready for battle.

Dumbran City Lord saw that his cavalry had been defeated, and he had no courage to continue fighting. However, he still wanted to restrain his cavalry, so that these cavalry could completely retreat back to the hinterland of the earthen fort, so that he would have a chance to wait for reinforcements and make a final struggle.

However, the 30 shells that fell from the sky did not give Dombran any chance. Just as he was waving his sword, hoping to stabilize his defeated cavalry, a terrifying explosion kicked off near him.

It only took about half an hour, and the battle between the 1st Alanhill Regiment and the main force of the cavalry was decided - Chris didn't even give a decent order, and the cavalry of the bunker just At least 500 people were lost, and the combat capability was completely wounded.

Fortunately, Goddess visited Alanhill. Although one round of shelling did not kill too many cavalrymen who had scattered and fled, one cannonball directly killed the lord of the bunker, Dumbran, among the crowd. .

This fief lord with a little bit of ability, so he didn't even have the chance to retreat, so he surrendered his life in an encounter. Sadly, he originally planned to gather his troops to test Alanhill's troops, but he accidentally turned a test into a final battle.

Seeing the cavalrymen dismount and surrender, the ground is full of war horses and human corpses, the wounded enemy army soldier lay on the ground wailing, and the wounded warhorse struggled and neighed, Chris couldn't believe himself s eyes.

"We...we're...we've won..." Chris asked Vagron, who had just returned to him, with some uncertainty.

Vagron was also very embarrassed. After watching the soldiers' exercises, he knew that the army he was leading was almost invincible in the mortal country. But he didn't expect that this army can be so powerful as it is.

Almost 800 cavalrymen who annihilated the earth fort without even a single wounded person. Such a force was completely beyond his imagination, because this kind of record used to only appear when Magic Empire attacked mortal nations.

Now he felt that he was leading not an army of mortals, but an army of magic! This gave him an unreal feeling, floating and very comfortable.

However...Vagron was really dissatisfied with the performance of this troop just now: although the battle strength showed that it was extremely powerful, the tension and panic exposed by these recruits, It all proves that this unit still has great potential to be tapped.

Vagron couldn't even imagine how terrifying this force would be if it truly reached its full state. He spat, and threw his horse up beside Chris, saying, "Yes...won, Your Majesty."

"Give the troops a break and count the ammo! Gather all the shells... ..." Chris felt that it was a bit embarrassing that he didn't even give an order to command a battle, so he could only forcefully give an order to clean the battlefield to save some face.

As everyone knows, Waggon is also very embarrassed now. He just gave two orders to defeat the main cavalry of the earth fort: one order is to let the infantry "advance"; the other order is to let the artillery "Open the cannon"...

"All soldiers! Collect bullet casings!" On the battlefield, squad leaders and platoon leaders loudly urged their soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers bowed their heads, as if in the wild Like looking for money, he rummaged through the bullet casings that had fallen to the ground.

"Alas..." Carrying their own weapons and holding the grenade hanging in front of them, Alanhill's infantrymen began to clean up the battlefield with complaints. In their view, defeating the enemy is no longer difficult, but the work of picking up bullet casings is more uncomfortable than killing the enemy.

Many of these casings are made of copper, which is a rather scarce resource. Send it back to the factory in the rear, and it can be reprocessed into reloading ammunition, and it can be used a few more times... No way, now Chris is fighting this kind of poor man's war, and every detail must be carefully calculated.

And on the other side, the cavalry of the earth fort, watched by the grenadiers, stared wide-eyed and looked at the opponents who bowed their heads to "seek money" in the distance with an incredible look-they were almost I can't believe it's the stupid looking guys in the distance who beat themselves up...
