Chapter 27: Absurd battle

He even thought that the cavalry on Ellen Hill had come to delay and fatigue his cavalry unit. So simply no longer entangled with these cavalry scouts, and led the troops south to rush towards the main force of Ailan Hill, which is entirely based on infantry.

Already frustrated to the point of boring Dongbulan, he was completely annoyed by the rangers of Allan Hill when he went all the way to the south. All he wanted to do now was to have a happily fight with the opponent so that he could play himself. Cavalry has advantages in moving speed and impact.

Although he had heard of Mayne's weird failure in the Eastern Forest, he felt that his troops could use their speed advantage to immediately approach Ailan Hill's troops, which could make any long-range weapons of the opponent useless.

In fact, he did achieve his vision and completed his own tactical arrangement: When his troops appeared on the horizon, Chris, who hurriedly learned that the opposing cavalry had already killed, was completely unprepared for battle.

On the frontal battlefield, his three battalions of infantry had just stood in formation. The rear group's 30 cannons did not build any launch positions, and the camp was in chaos. Wagron personally restrained these recruits and stabilized the entire first regiment.

However, the 1st regiment, which had just stabilized its position, discovered that the opposing cavalry had already formed a formation and crushed it from the front.

Immediately afterwards, whether it was Chris, Wagron, or even the opposing commander Dongbulan, they all found that the battle before them was completely beyond their imagination. Even at the beginning of the battle, the commanders on both sides were shocked that they did not issue an effective order.

On this side, in accordance with the requirements of the code of practice, the infantry who had to dig trenches were not prepared for the battle, so under the constraints of all the officers, the entire infantry defense war was launched against the enemy cavalry in its own way according to the previous habits. defense.

Wagron galloped between the three huge infantry phalanx, urging everyone not to retreat, because once the rout began, the maneuverability behind it was low, and the artillery that was preparing to fire was completely exposed to the enemy's blade.

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

The battlefield was chaotic, and the consequences of insufficient recruit training made Chris almost lost the most critical battle. But just a moment later, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically.

Seeing that the opposing cavalrymen who were a hundred meters away turned on their backs, they were swept down by 300 modern rifles. What is even more desperate is that the grenadiers of Ailan Hill are not holding the ancient flintlocks.

After a bullet was fired and a row of crackling gunshots fired, the recruits who had been trained twice with live ammunition finally remembered what they had to do. They got into their own rhythm, and the gunfire emboldened them.

The soldiers in the first row didn't stop at all. They immediately released the right palm that was holding the trigger, mechanically pulled the bolt on the side, and pushed a new bullet into the barrel.

"Bah!" Before the cavalry on the opposite side realized the end, the second infantry volley had completely determined the victory and defeat. The cavalry of the opposing party had not been close to the distance of 100 meters, they had been knocked out by about half. Of vitality.

From beginning to end, the cavalry of the Tubao did not reach the distance that the bows and arrows they carried could attack. Those soldiers who seemed to have no armor protection at this moment seemed to them as far away.

No matter how hard they work, the distance of tens of meters is like a gap that they cannot cross. It was a sense of powerlessness from the heart, it was a desperation deep in the bones.

Chris really was a little bit dumbfounded by the sight before him: he gave these soldiers advanced weapons and equipment, and also gave them the tactics to crush their opponents, but in this war environment, a team of World War I level The army in this way played out the battle scenes of the Napoleonic era.

The artillery was deployed by Wagron at the back of the soldiers' phalanx, trying to use the advantage of range to destroy the opposing cavalry unit before the opponent attacked. However, due to the temporary engagement, these artillery soldiers have not played their due role until now.

Then, the soldiers equipped with Mauser 98k rifles began to stand on the spot, forming a square formation, holding up their weapons, and pouring their own small ammunition to distant opponents.

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 in the back row of the square strode forward and passed the reloaded five bullets. The soldiers in the front row started a new round of shooting...

It was simply the "three-stage shot" of the World War II weapon version, and Chris couldn't cry without tears: the weapons and equipment he provided, under the ravages of the times, evolved into such a nondescript weird formation.

"Bah!" Another volley began when Chris was thinking about it. Step by step, thousands of soldiers were like rolling wheels, crushing the cavalry in the distance. A spectacle appeared in human history. The infantry phalanx moved a little bit forward and rushed towards the enemy cavalry in the distance...

The battle hadn't been finished yet, just when Dongbulan finally realized that the opponent's weapon was not his cavalry to defeat, the 30 cannons behind Wagron were ready for battle.

Seeing his already defeated cavalry, City Lord Dongbulan didn't have the courage to continue fighting. However, he still wanted to restrain his cavalry so that they could completely retreat to the hinterland of the tubao, so that he had the opportunity to wait for reinforcements and make the final struggle.

However, the 30 shells that fell from the sky did not leave Dongbulan with any chance. Just as he wielded his sword, hoping to stabilize his defeated cavalry, a terrifying explosion kicked off near him.

In about half an hour, the encounter between the 1st Ailan Hill 1st regiment and the main force of the Tubao cavalry was determined. Chris did not even give a decent order, and the Tubao cavalry lost at least 500 men. , Completely injured the combat capability.

The goddess of luck visited Ailan Hill. Although a round of shelling didn't kill too many Tubao cavalry who had been scattered and fleeing, one shell directly killed the Tubao lord Dongbulan in the crowd.

This lord, who was quite capable, didn't even have the chance to retreat, and gave up his life in an encounter. Sadly, originally he was only planning to gather forces to test Alan Hill's troops, but in the end, he made a test by accident and fought a final battle.

Seeing the Tubao cavalry dismount their horses and surrender, the ground is full of horses and human corpses, wounded enemy soldiers lying on the ground wailing, and the same wounded horses struggling and neighing, Chris couldn't believe his eyes.

"We...we are...we have won..." Chris asked Wagron who had just returned to him with some uncertainty.

Wagron was also very embarrassed. After watching the soldiers' exercises, he knew that the troops he now led were almost invincible in a mortal country. But he didn't expect that this force could be as strong as before.

Almost all 800 cavalrymen who had wiped out the Tubao, he didn't even have a single wounded. Such a troop has completely surpassed his imagination, because this kind of record only appeared in the past when the magic empire attacked mortal countries.

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

However... Wagron was really dissatisfied with the performance of this unit just now: Although the combat effectiveness was shown to be extremely powerful, the tension and panic exposed by these recruits all proved that this unit still has a lot of panic. Great potential can be tapped.

Wagron didn't even dare to imagine how terrifying this troop would be if it truly reached its full body form. He spit, and he rode his horse beside Chris, and said, "Yes... I won, Your Majesty."

"Let the troops take a break and count the ammunition! Collect all the shells..." Chris felt that it was a shame that he commanded a battle without giving an order. He could only reluctantly issue an order to clean the battlefield to save some of his face.

As everyone knows, Wagron is also very embarrassed now. He only gave two orders to defeat the main cavalry of the Tubao: one order was for the infantry to "forward"; the other order was for the artillery to "fire"...

"All soldiers! Collect cartridge cases!" On the battlefield, one after another squad leader and platoon leader urged their soldiers loudly. Hundreds of soldiers lowered their heads as if they were looking for money in the field, looking for the ones that fell on the ground. Bullet case.

"Oh..." Carrying their own weapons and holding the grenade hanging in front of them, the infantry in Ailan Hill complained and started to clean up the battlefield intricately. In their view, defeating the enemy is not difficult, but the work of picking up bullets is even more uncomfortable than killing the enemy.

Many of these bullet cases are made of copper, which is a very scarce resource. Send it back to the rear factory, where it can be processed into reloaded ammunition, or 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.

On the other side, the Tubao cavalry guarded by the grenadiers stared wide-eyed at the opponents who bowed their heads to "find money" in the distance. They looked incredible. They couldn't believe it, just those who watched in the distance. The silly guys, defeated themselves...
