Chapter 65 65 Confrontation"As far as possible, spread out the troops as straight as possible! The troops must be well controlled! We must hold each other in the front. Attack, and defeat the opponent!..." Coria looked at the green Arrant king flag on the opposite side and instructed his men.
5,000 people, facing ten times their own strength, this is definitely the most tragic battle in human history. A few years ago, these 5,000 people might not even have the chance to retreat.
But now, Koriya never thought of retreating with people. All he thought about was to use his own troops to defeat the opponent head-on. No matter who the opponent is, he wants to give it a try.
He wants to see if the heavy machine guns in his queue are so terrifying, he wants to see if his artillery is as strong and powerful as he was training, he wants to try Is there any army that can withstand a frontal attack of 5,000 people!
Yes, he simply didn't think about defense, he was preparing to face off against the opponent at first, crushing the opponent in one go.
"March on the snare drum! Let the soldiers go forward! We have no time to waste!" He rode on his horse and instructed the officers around him: "Let the artillerymen give each other some music! I don't I hope they will watch us kill them in full force!"
Across from him, General Arrant Rumback, the Imperial Family general in golden armor, also rode on his warhorse. The gray armoured troops in front of him formed a one by one huge phalanx, countless long spear stand in great numbers before his eyes, the green Arrant battle flag fluttered in the wind.
"Get the red-clothed cannons ready! They must be ready to bombard us too!" Lumbach pulled the reins and instructed his generals: "Let them regret this weapon Give it to us!"
"Yes!" A general bowed his head and replied, and then in his shouts, one after another huge bronze cannons were pushed out of the crowd, The caliber of these cannons is larger than the one pictured on the Chris blueprint, and the caliber is also larger, about 100mm.
Then countless Arrant soldiers began to operate around these cannons, they stuffed gunpowder into the cannons, followed by a huge solid iron ball - only when firing this iron ball cannonball Only when the range of this cannon can reach the designed maximum distance.
"Hoo! Ha!" The horns sounded one after another in the artillery positions of the Arrant Empire. These soldiers led the cannons, drove the horses, and pushed the bulky cannons into the firing positions.
And on the distant plain facing them, the commander of Alanhill's army, Coria, put down the telescope in his hand, turned his head and looked towards a general beside him: "What are they doing? Those things that are bigger than the carriage are also cannons?"
"I don't know! General! Our artillery is ready! Ready to fire... Shall we prioritize destroying those 'red-clothed cannons' ', keep your own infantry safe?"
"Of course! Fire now! Kick the enemy's artillery out of the field! I don't want to hear the enemy's artillery, it's better not to let me hear a single sound!" With a deep expression on his face, Ria ordered to his artillery commander.
The opponent clenched his right hand and pressed his fist on his chest, then took the reins of the war horse, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards the artillery position not far away. Less than a minute later, Alanhill's artillery began to play.
"bang!" "bang!" With the first round of firing, each of the artillery's cannons staggered their firing times. They want their observers to confirm where their shells landed, so that they can adjust their shooting angles in subsequent shots.
After more than a year of rapid development, Alanhill's artillery has become a self-contained system. They have their own technology and their own tactics. They are no longer a rookie who simply fires and dumps ammunition.
Then, in the telescope of Coria, the Arrant soldiers in the distance, inside the formation, raised a huge explosion, sending up plumes of black smoke that shot into the sky. The opponent's position began to be chaotic, and the originally neat phalanx also changed shape.
"bang!" After adjusting its own shooting parameters, the second round shelling started immediately, and the rear-loading cannon showed a strong rate of fire advantage. Alanhill's guns aren't huge but mighty, and soldiers are easier to reload.
These 75mm caliber field infantry artillery shells poured again, more than half of them fell into the artillery positions of the Arrant Empire, and the smoke covered the artillery positions of the entire Arrant Empire for a while, and even even Alanhill's artillery observers couldn't see their results.
"I hope these idiots will learn a lesson! The bigger the cannon, the more powerful it is!" Putting down the telescope, Corea sneered and said to the people around him. His words caused a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, as if everyone came to camp rather than fight.
On the opposite side of the Arrant Empire, the atmosphere was less relaxed. Arrant Lumbach, whose face was already ugly, looked at the almost abolished artillery position, and gnashing teeth issued an order to continue fighting.
"Get the rest of the artillery ready to fight back! Even if there's only one cannon, we'll give each other a little color!" he ordered, looking at the Alanhill formation in the distance.
It's more accurate to say that it's a line of troops rather than an army formation: the opponent seems to have only three rows of soldiers, and the battle line is roughly as long as the 50,000 people in the Arrant Empire here. Such a line of defense was not thick at all, and could not stop the onslaught of cavalry or infantry at all.
But the premise is that there are cavalry or infantry who can rush to this line. Although there is an ominous premonition, but looking at the opponent's slender line of troops, Arrant Lumback still thinks that he should try to attack the opponent before making plans.
Even if you have 10,000 people, you still have an advantage on your side. It's better to be able to defeat the opponent. If you can't defeat the opponent, it seems that you will have time to retreat. Anyway, the opponent doesn't have such a sky-defying unit as Dragon Knight, so of course they can't do the whole process of crushing and chasing.
"General Emile! Take your ten thousand troops to press forward! Break through the small defense line of the other side, I guarantee that Emperor Your Majesty will promote you to Great General!" looked towards the man beside him That brave general, Lumbach ordered sharply.
After destroying the artillery of the Arrant Empire, the opponent's artillery began to shoot, and several infantry phalanxes had been hit by the artillery shells, and the loss also began to make the soldiers trembling in fear. If there is no further attack at this time, the entire army will collapse.
So Lumbach started a counterattack, he wanted to overwhelm the superior force and try to make the two armies come into contact as much as possible. As long as they fight together, he can take advantage of his strength and crush the opponent's line of defense.
"Let the cavalry on both flanks attack! There will be no miracles if you wait in place!" Although he was not very optimistic about his cavalry battle strength, Lumbach decided to put pressure on the opponent's flanks as soon as possible. So that the opponent can not recklessly consume artillery.
"Alanhill has his own new cannon! Send this news back to the royal city immediately! We've been tricked!" Handing the envelope with his own seal to a messenger, Lumbach instructed the other party: "Maybe Alanhill may have other weapons, so please be careful with Your Majesty!"
The messenger nodded galloped southward, and a dozen Knights merged behind the messenger in the distance. Watching these cavalry run away, Lunbach turned his attention back to the battlefield.
At this time, the artillery of the Arrant Empire, who were finally ready, made the first sound of artillery on their side: "bang!"
A cannonball hit Behind the Alanhill Grenadiers, a cloud of dust splashed in the clearing, causing no casualties on Alanhill's side. And Alanhill's artillery responded to the opponent's provocation, and another round of artillery accurately landed on the position of the Arrant imperial artillery, burying it in black smoke again.
"Go forward!" With one command after another, the phalanx of Arrant Imperial soldiers in gray armor began to move forward slowly, they took a neat step, held their long spear high, and shouted The slogan went to their opponents.
Across from them, the Alanhill Grenadiers had advanced hundreds of paces as the marching drums continued to beat. The unarmoured light infantry marched forward step by step, the rifle muzzle on the shoulder swaying from side to side with the stride.
Beside them, soldiers pushing heavy machine guns shouted slogans and bent over to keep the heavy Maxim within the infantry line. Behind them are the platoon commanders, company commanders, battalion commanders and regimental commanders who are advancing with the troops.
"The other side's cavalry is moving to the flanks..." An officer looked towards Coria and asked, "Should we pause our advance and be careful about our flanks?"
p>
"No need! Let the prairie cavalry deal with the Arrant cavalry! If they lose, it doesn't matter! I will beat the middle army on the opposite side, and I will still have time to organize the formation!" Coria confidently posed. He waved his hand and denied the suggestion of his subordinates: "I only need one attack! That's enough!"
"One, two, one! One, two, one!" He stopped shouting slogans and kept his soldiers in a neat pace. These soldiers have shortened the distance between themselves and each other to 500 meters, and now they are very close to each other.
"Keep going! The enemy is right in front of you! Victory belongs to Alanhill!" Pressing his position, a company commander pressed his saber and loudly reminded the soldiers beside him. He is also very nervous now, because he was just a soldier who participated in the Battle of the Eastern Forest a year ago.
Now, he can command a company of soldiers, and he can't believe that he will have such a day when he can become a commander.
