- ps: Moving today, posting a little late.
The Holy Roman Empire's charge in the morning caused huge losses.
In this charge, at least three to four thousand troops were lost.
Together with yesterday's losses, one-tenth of the troops were wiped out by the enemy within two days.
Such battle damage is really serious on the European battlefield.
It¡¯s no wonder that Savarodi was in a bad mood.
¡°No one will have an easy time with this.
On the other hand, the American volunteers only injured dozens of genetic soldiers in the battles yesterday and this morning. And it's not a serious injury, it's just an inconsequential injury from the opponent's crossbow.
After all, with so many people fighting, it is impossible for the American Volunteer Army to have zero casualties.
But even so, compared to the Holy Roman Empire, it can be called a 'miracle'.
"The enemy has retreated, but what are they going to do if they neither leave nor continue to attack?"
The deputy commander, Juan of the Gurkhas, looked at the Holy Roman military formation below the high ground and started a strange conversation with the commander Naba.
Naba shook his head when he heard this and said: "I'm not sure. Who knows what they have planned now. No matter what, let's get on with it. I think after the battle just now, their morale has dropped to the extreme. It should be We won¡¯t continue attacking in the short term.¡±
Juan nodded, he felt the same.
After the enemy was defeated by our own side after the battle just now, it may be difficult to organize in a short period of time.
So, now they have a chance to rest.
"It was really a bit suspense just now. They almost attacked me within melee range. Fortunately, they didn't have strong willpower and finally retreated. Otherwise, we would be really in danger if we were to fight hand to hand. After all, we are outnumbered in numbers. You¡¯re at a disadvantage, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Juan thought of the situation just now and said to Nabal with lingering fear.
Mentioning the situation just now, Naba nodded in agreement.
Yes, it was indeed very dangerous just now.
As long as the opponent continues to charge for two minutes, the situation of the battle will change.
Nabal was also very depressed at that time.
It is simply impossible to say that he is not worried.
Although they have an advantage in weapons, there is no way to make up for their disadvantage in numbers.
As a commander, I am very aware of all this.
"We can't be so passive in defense below. Thinking about it, we have to find a way to attack proactively. Defeat them in this area, so that we can survive for a long time. There is no danger."
Naba raised his hand and stroked his stubble, and said to Juan.
After hearing this, Juan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, taking the initiative to attack is a good idea. But I would rather follow your statement with a proactive sneak attack proposal."
When Nabal heard what Juan said, he immediately laughed.
"This is actually my plan. We are at a disadvantage in terms of manpower and there is no way to compare with the enemy. But if we carry out a sneak attack, it will definitely bring greater damage to them. And it will reduce such a disadvantage, right?"
"Then, let's go tonight"
Juan also had a smirk on his face, and then started talking to Naba in a low voice.
And on a hill not far from the high ground, there were more than a dozen people wearing French musketeer costumes. He was sitting on horseback holding a telescope and observing the situation here.
They are observers specially sent here by Mary to observe the battle between the American Volunteer Army and the Holy Roman Empire.
After all, as we fight the Spanish on our side, it is particularly important for the American volunteers to resist the Holy Roman Empire.
Only American volunteers. If you can withstand the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, then your side can fully deal with the Spanish defensive legions.
At the same time, Mary also wanted to know the combat effectiveness of the American Volunteer Army. What is it like?
Although people always say that the Army of the Song Empire in America is very powerful, that is just hearsay.
As the saying goes, hearing is false but seeing is true.
Mary also knows this truth.
Although with her status, she cannot come here to see it in person.
However, this does not prevent her from sending her confidants to understand the situation.
In this way, d'Artagnan received such a mission and took his men to the battlefield in the 'Donde' area to observe the battle between the American Volunteers and the Holy Roman Empire.
"The American Volunteer Army is very powerful, and their use of firearms is beyond my expectations. I never thought that muskets could be used in such a way. It really opened my eyes."
At this point, the battle is over.
D'Artagnan put down his telescope and muttered to himself in shock.
To be honest, he originally didn¡¯t quite believe what people said about how powerful the American Song Empire Army was.
After all, it will be exaggerated to some extent if people follow what they say.
However, after everything he saw with his own eyes today, how could he not believe those rumors?
The American volunteers, who were at a numerical disadvantage, fought for two days against the legions of the Holy Roman Empire that were several times their own.
If this was France's hot army, it would probably have retreated long ago.
But instead of retreating, the American Volunteer Army severely damaged the Holy Roman Empire, causing huge losses.
¡°And the way the American volunteers used muskets also shocked d¡¯Artagnan.
Beside d'Artagnan, there was a musketeer who was drawing something.
He turned around and took a look and found that what the other party painted was the military battle formation of the Song Empire in America.
At the same time, through his memories, he drew the offensive methods of the Holy Roman Empire and the defensive methods of the American Volunteers during the battle. Counting this one, he has drawn dozens of pictures.
"These paintings are to be taken back to Queen Mary. This tactic is really powerful. Although we also intend to learn this tactic, we have no guidance after all. But with this kind of paintings, we can do it."
D'Artagnan nodded, of course he knew this.
And this guy who looks like a musketeer wearing a musketeer costume is not a musketeer at all.
He is a painter by nature.
And let this painter follow them here. Mary asked the painter to draw the battle scenes so that they could be used as a reference for the French army in the future.
Of course, the premise is that the troops and tactics of the American Volunteer Army are really worth learning from.
But now that the American volunteers have proven their strength, D'Artagnan and the others are no longer full of doubts.
Yes, how can they not believe it now.
The corpses in front of the high ground not far away are enough to explain the problem.
Such a large-scale charge actually didn¡¯t even reach their positions, and there were still so many people.
The failure of the Holy Roman Empire. Jean d'Artagnan shook his head repeatedly.
But he also imagined what it would be like if the Musketeers were allowed to attack the American Volunteer Army.
The final conclusion reached is that it is probably not even comparable to the Holy Roman Empire.
The scouts of the American Volunteer Army discovered them, and after confirming their identities, they brought d'Artagnan and others to the commander Nabal.
After the two sides introduced themselves, d'Artagnan and others were left to continue observing the subsequent battle against the Holy Roman Empire.
The appearance of d'Artagnan and others also made Nabar realize that his grasp of the nearby situation was not very accurate, which was very fatal.
so. He immediately stepped up his reconnaissance of the surrounding area.
When the time comes, the Holy Roman Empire will take advantage of the loophole, and it will be difficult to attack itself from behind.
Yes, Nabal¡¯s concerns are not without reason.
After all, the number of troops on the side of the Holy Roman Empire is much larger than our own.
Even after two days of losses. The number of its troops still far exceeds its own several times.
The opponent can completely leave most of the troops to attract them, and then divide their forces and send some troops to go around their rear to attack from both sides.
Such a situation is not impossible.
So, Nabal was concerned about the situation in the surrounding areas. It must be understood and mastered immediately.
In this way, you can avoid falling into the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides.
At this time, d'Artagnan, who brought his people to the American Volunteer Army position, said: "I just saw the situation of your battle from the telescope. Although I know that you are fighting very fiercely here, after all, the distance is still too far. . Only now when I get to the position do I realize how intense the fight you just fought was."
It is not unreasonable for D'Artagnan to say this.
In front of the position of the American Volunteer Army, densely packed corpses were lying staggered.
Although the Holy Roman Empire said it lost three to four thousand people, this number does not sound like a lot.
But when the bodies of these people were spread out, there was a huge area.
¡°And it¡¯s one thing to see through a telescope, but it¡¯s another thing to see it before arriving at the position.
This is completely different.
Therefore, it is no wonder that d'Artagnan would express such emotion.
"Do you think they will attack again soon?"
d'Artagnan asked.
Nabal shook his head when he heard this. To be honest, he was not a roundworm in the enemy's belly. How could he know.
Unless he can command the opponent's troops, it is impossible for him to predict the enemy's next move.
However, he still replied: "Their charge just now caused a lot of losses, and at the same time, their morale was extremely low. I think it is unlikely that they will continue to attack, but we still have to be careful. Drive carefully." Get the Ten Thousand Years Ship."
Naba, a genetic person of Somali origin, is doing quite well in Quebec's Mandarin learning trend.
¡°Isn¡¯t that right? At least you know some Chinese sayings.
Although he didn¡¯t understand much, d¡¯Artagnan still understood the meaning contained in this sentence.
"Our highland is surrounded by forests on three sides and open land on one side. If the enemy attacks from the front, it is easy to deal with it. What I am worried about is that the enemy will send troops to bypass our rear, which will be a bit troublesome."
Nabal told d'Artagnan what he was worried about.
Yes, the number of enemies is huge, several times that of American volunteers.
It is not very difficult for them to allocate some troops.
At the same time, we can use large forces to hold back the American volunteers here.
This is the benefit of quantity advantage.
On the other hand, it is impossible for the American Volunteer Army to divide its troops, because they do not have many troops in the first place, so there is no way to talk about dividing their troops.
If we divide our troops to defend the rear at this time, it will make the already pitifully small number of troops appear even more stretched.
Only a mentally retarded person would do this.
Nabal is not stupid, and neither is Juan.
Therefore, they will not issue such an order.
After hearing what Nabal said, d'Artagnan frowned slightly.
Yes, the American Volunteer Army has very few troops, and he knows this.
It is because of knowing this that Mary is worried that something unexpected will happen here.
"It's a pity that all the military power France can use now is devoted to invading Spain. Therefore, France has no way to provide any help here.
In Mary¡¯s view, only by completely defeating the Spaniards can they mobilize troops to return reinforcements.
But during this period, the American Volunteer Army will be able to withstand the attack of the Holy Roman Empire alone.
If the American volunteers can't stand it, Mary is likely to have a truce with Spain.
This is definitely possible.
¡°Anyway, now that France has taken advantage of the boss, it¡¯s not a big deal to stop.
As for what kind of blow the Portuguese rebels will suffer after the armistice with Spain, that has nothing to do with France.
And Spain cannot continue to do anything to France.
After all, Spain still has a battlefield in the Netherlands to deal with.
Therefore, the Spaniards can only bow their heads and admit that the French are taking advantage.
No matter what you say, France will not suffer.
This is Mary's plan.
And all this depends on how well the American volunteers fight.
"There is indeed a bit of trouble in the rear, so do you have any solution?"
d'Artagnan asked.
Naba and Juan looked at each other, and then Naba said: "There is a way, but it is a military secret. I'm sorry, I can't tell you yet."
D'Artagnan understands this kind of thing very well.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just an observer with the army."
D'Artagnan's knowledge made Nabal and Juan very satisfied.
Dividing line
¡°Everyone should come up with a solution, we can¡¯t go on like this.¡±We still have an advantage in terms of military strength, which the enemy does not have. Although our early attack failed, it does not mean that we will definitely fail. I think you should come up with a good solution to the current situation. "
Behind the Holy Roman Empire¡¯s position, Savarodi convened a meeting of mid-level and senior military officers.
In addition to the losses, the morning attack also had a great impact on the morale of the soldiers.
Now they must find a way to change this situation, otherwise if morale is lost, this battle will not need to be fought. - Didn't finish reading?
