- The operation to surprise the enemy's artillery transport team went very smoothly.
Basically, with one charge, the enemy has been defeated.
Afterwards, the raiding Genes nailed the wooden wedges they carried into the fuse hole on the back of the artillery gun. This artillery was completely destroyed.
Yes, what¡¯s the use of such a cannon if it can¡¯t be installed with a fuse?
It can¡¯t be launched at all.
"The cannons at this time were completely different from the cannons of later generations, and there was no need to say anything about destroying them.
It only requires a small wooden wedge, which is very simple and convenient.
Except for the soldiers who were transporting the artillery, who ran away as soon as they saw the opportunity, the rest were all killed on the spot, leaving no one alive.
The battle didn¡¯t last long, just a few minutes.
After finishing all this, the Gene Man troops immediately evacuated the raid site and hid in the jungle shrouded in darkness.
From attacking, to fighting and then quickly evacuating, everything went smoothly and perfectly.
On the side of the Holy Roman Empire, they still don¡¯t know that their ¡®big killer¡¯ has been destroyed by their enemies.
They confidently launched an attack the next day to defeat the American volunteers in one fell swoop, and then march into French territory to wreak havoc.
Early the next morning, the Holy Roman Empire received news that the artillery had been destroyed, which cast a thin shadow on the hearts of the originally confident officers.
But they still didn¡¯t take this matter to heart.
After all, the commander has already formulated a strategy to defeat the enemy, right?
By launching attacks from three sides, the enemy will simply be unable to parry.
No matter how sharp and powerful their muskets are, they cannot cope with attacks from three directions at the same time.
Win!
Right now!
We finished our breakfast leisurely, and it was around ten o'clock in the morning.
The soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire seemed very calm.
It seems that they are not here to fight. But here for an outing.
If such an army were placed in the American Song Empire, it would not even be qualified as a militia.
The position of the American Volunteer Army is somewhat high, located in a place called Mecasro Heights within the French border.
As soon as the volunteers arrived, they occupied this favorable terrain.
On the other hand, the situation of the Holy Roman Empire is not so good.
However, due to the large number of their own soldiers, the Holy Roman Empire did not take this matter to heart at all.
In their opinion, how could they not defeat the opponent's army of less than 10,000 people with so many troops?
"No matter where they come from, no matter how novel their tactics are. We must defeat them today! Attack Tangde City and rob it for three days!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Oops!
Before the war began, the commander of the Holy Roman Empire made a very generous promise.
That is, after the army defeated the enemy, it allowed the army to attack and capture Tangde City and then plunder it for three days.
You know, this is a very lucrative job.
Therefore, after this order was issued, not only the mercenaries who worked for money, but also the regular soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire. He also seemed very excited.
Yes, everyone is working hard with their heads up, just to make a fortune.
In this era, countries are not fighting for any ideals or causes. Just get rich.
Therefore, this order immediately boosted everyone's morale.
Attack!
According to the plan made long ago last night, the army phalanx of the Holy Roman Empire began to march slowly.
On the high ground, Naba, the commander of the American Volunteer Army, picked up the monocular and looked at it. After letting go, he put it down.
"We may have to work harder today. There are many enemy troops attacking, and it seems they want to eat us up." Nabal's expression was very cold, and it seemed that he was also worried about today's battle.
The number of soldiers on our side is originally smaller than that of the other side.
And today the other side attacked, at least half of their troops were sent out.
We can see the enemy¡¯s plan.
Even if the enemy only sends half of its troops to fight against itself, the number is still three times that of our own.
?In terms of the number of soldiers, our side has always been at a disadvantage.
At the same time, the opponent also has a reserve team of more than 30,000 people, but he does not even have a reserve team.
If something happens, it¡¯s unimaginable.
But fortunately, Naba knew that the weapons on his side were sharp and the tactics were novel and not so unbearable.
Today¡¯s battle was really fought.
"Nabab, look over there. The enemy seems to be dividing his forces."
Next to Nabal, Juan, who was sitting on the back of a black horse, suddenly spoke at this time.
Following Juan¡¯s instructions, Naba looked through the telescope.
I saw the slowly advancing Holy Roman Empire phalanx. Suddenly, the left and right wings separated from the main force. It seemed that they wanted to divide their forces to attack their own two wings.
"Their calculations are pretty good. It seems they want to launch attacks from three sides at the same time, which will overwhelm us."
After taking a look, Naba immediately guessed the other party's plan.
"The enemy has become smarter, but it's a pity that they don't know that we already have a solution to this situation."
??Huan agreed.
"Order, the fifth row becomes three rows, and the troops are divided into the left and right wings!"
As Nabal¡¯s order was issued, the ordering soldiers quickly issued the order.
After receiving this order, the soldiers began to quickly change queues on the American Volunteer Army's position.
The original five-row queue became three blocks, with three queues in each block.
"Hmph! Do you really think we are made of clay? It seems that we are going to show them how powerful we are today, bombardiers, prepare!"
Naba gave an order, and from the gaps in the front lines of the three positions, some genetic warriors holding wine bottle bombs ran out. They rushed directly towards the advancing team of the Holy Roman Empire, and did not stop until they entered their own bombing range.
"What are these guys going to do?"
At the rear of the Holy Roman Empire, a group of officers were whispering to each other.
In yesterday¡¯s battle, the enemy did not appear in such a situation, so they were unable to judge what the American Volunteer Army¡¯s plan was.
If you are attacking yourself in advance, then you can't just send out such a small number of people, right?
Everyone is very curious.
However, soon they will no longer be curious and doubtful. Because they will see the answers they want to know.
Light the fuse and throw the bottle.
The bombardiers are all strong and muscular, with a lot of strength.
Therefore, the bombing distance is very far.
At the same time, the enemy's weapons cannot hurt them.
Boom!
The first bottle bomb exploded in the team. The lead bullets and glass fragments blasted a blank gap in the middle of the phalanx.
Immediately afterwards, other bottle bombs also began to explode one after another.
Some bombs exploded after falling on the ground, while others exploded directly above everyone's heads.
But no matter which way it explodes, it will eventually cause great damage to the Holy Roman Empire.
My legs!
My ¡®Jiji¡¯!
I can¡¯t see it anymore. I can't see, my eyes!
When a bottle bomb falls on the ground and explodes, the lead bullets in the later stages of the explosion will shoot out in all directions from bottom to top, so the injured areas of those unlucky guys are basically the lower body.
So it¡¯s no surprise that someone¡¯s ¡®jiji¡¯ got injured.
In this regard, the American Volunteer Army can only regret this.
It all depends on personal luck.
If you¡¯re lucky, you¡¯ll end up with a broken calf, or a chunk of flesh missing from your butt.
Anyway, the combat effectiveness will definitely be lost.
But if you are unlucky then under the power of such an explosion, 'Jiji' will definitely not be saved.
It was not crushed on the spot. It's just rotten, in shortit's very sad.
Some bottle bombs will explode while in the air due to the fuse.
At this time, a large part of the lead bullets in the bottle will be from top to bottom. Shooting down in all directions.
At this time, the most commonly injured part is the upper body, especially the head.
Although some soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire wore triangular iron helmets on their heads. But thisMost of them are non-commissioned officers, and most of them do not have this kind of equipment.
So, they are disappointed.
Powerful lead shot. Often the soldiers' Tianling Caps will be penetrated or lifted.
The glass fragments mixed with it can also be shot into the eyes.
Therefore, it is not surprising that so many people fell to the ground without saying a word, or with their faces covered in blood saying that they could not see anything.
People who are injured in the head usually die quickly.
After all, this is a very important part.
But being able to die on the spot is already very lucky.
It is better than those soldiers who were injured in the head but could not die, or those who were hit by lead bullets or glass fragments and were still alive and had to suffer alive.
The bombardiers each have ten bottle bombs.
Within three minutes, these people will throw all the bottle bombs, then quickly turn around and run back to the back of their position, and then pick up their flintlocks to be on guard.
On the offensive side of the Holy Roman Empire, the leading phalanx has been basically destroyed by the organic formations, and the battle has been completely lost.
If it weren¡¯t for the presence of rear officers and law enforcement teams, they would have turned around and fled by now.
Even before they entered the effective attack range, the enemy suffered such heavy damage to themselves, and the faces of the Holy Roman Emperor officials in the rear became very ugly.
They could see from the wave of attacks just now that they had suffered losses of at least a thousand people.
The enemy¡¯s weapons that project out and then explode are really too powerful.
"Let all the surviving soldiers from the phalanx in front withdraw, and the phalanx behind move up. Don't forget to bring back all the injured soldiers."
The commander gritted his teeth and issued such an order. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
