Chapter 1228, crazy exchange of fire
The battlefield was under constant artillery fire, and Liu Meng commanded less than 20,000 infantry troops in Arcas Fortress, relying on the trenches to grit their teeth and resist.
In comparison, Allen Ballard, who had confirmed that he had the advantage in strength, could be said to be confident at this moment, and continued to command his troops to press forward.
The intensive firepower far exceeded that of the defenders of Arcas Fortress, and it was almost overwhelming the opponent.
At this moment, the rumbling sound in the distance and the obvious shaking of the ground under his feet made Alan Ballard clearly aware that a cavalry unit was rushing towards them.
In this regard, he was not too surprised. After all, he had already seen the patrol team outside the border of Wanjie Civilization. He already had an idea. Under this premise, this side of the border
, he would be surprised if no cavalry troops were deployed here!
However, he did not intend to let the cavalry troops from the opposite side rush into the main battlefield and get in the way.
As his thoughts whirled, Alan Ballard issued the order again, and his six thousand dragoon troops were dispatched directly to intercept the enemy cavalry unit.
These six thousand dragoons were undoubtedly the elite troops of the Europa army. After receiving the order, they moved quickly and quickly locked onto the ranger troops that came all the way for reinforcements.
Burigude, who also discovered the enemy, flashed a cold light in his eyes, and the two troops launched the first round of confrontation on one side of the main battlefield.
This confrontation was completely ongoing while moving at high speed.
The cavalry on both sides were galloping and firing continuously, and the bullets were flying everywhere on the battlefield, making the whole scene seem a bit chaotic.
Burigude obviously had no interest in entangled with the other party.
Maintaining his skillful loading movements, he fired several shots and took away the lives of several dragoons. Hearing the sound of "Drive!", the Ranger troops suddenly accelerated, intending to forcibly break into the main battlefield!
When the officers of the dragoon troops saw this, they naturally would not let Burigude get his wish, and hurriedly led his soldiers to pursue him in an attempt to intercept him.
However, the soldiers in Luo Ji's ranger unit were all natives of the grasslands. They grew up on horses. Later, after joining the army, they received extremely rigorous training.
When it comes to riding skills, I really haven't lost to anyone.
Although the dragoon troops are also the elite of the Europa army, they are still a little behind.
At this moment, they are trying their best to keep pace with the Rangers. As for intercepting them, they are probably out of luck...
The distance between the two cavalry units of the enemy and ours was such that the bullets fired from their rifles were intersecting crazily, threatening everyone's life.
The intensity of this horseback battle was no less intense than that on the main battlefield, and the fighting was almost crazy.
The bullets flying randomly did not make Burigude panic. As a veteran on the battlefield, he knew the rules on the battlefield better than anyone else. The first to die are often those who are panicked and afraid.
In the hail of bullets, his hands were so steady that every time he pulled the trigger, he would definitely kill an enemy soldier.
As long as he is given enough time, no one will doubt that he can methodically kill an enemy with the same number of bullets as his body!
Maintaining this state of fierce attacks on each other, the Ranger troops rushed all the way into the main battlefield!
This situation obviously surprised Alan Ballard.
The dragoons couldn't stop them?
As a veteran, Alan Ballard can visually estimate the strength of the opponent's troops almost at a glance.
The enemy's cavalry troops and their dragoon troops should be about the same strength.
In this case, the enemy's cavalry force completely usurped the initiative, which can only explain one problem. They failed to defeat the opponent with hard strength...
This conclusion really makes Alan Ballard unhappy.
Although the dragoon troops were still entangled with the opponent, it was undeniable that the entry of this enemy cavalry unit had an impact on the main battlefield.
After all, who can ignore an enemy force that could rush into their face at any moment?
In other words, as long as Burigude's rangers appear on the main battlefield, even if they do nothing and just wander around there, they can help share the pressure on the garrison.
The appearance of the Ranger troops undoubtedly boosted the morale of the garrison troops to a certain extent. Liu Meng saw the opportunity and quickly refreshed a wave of skills, raising the morale of the garrison troops to over 80 points in one breath.
In fact, this wave of battles has not reached the point where it is completely unfightable.
The opponent's strength advantage is indeed great, but they also have the advantage of trenches? As long as they occupy this solid trench, it is not that easy for the Europa army to break through in a short time.
Not to mention that long before the war started, Liu Meng had already asked the messenger in the fortress to use a telegraph machine to send a request for help message to the military camp in the city behind.
The rear military camp received the request for help and took action immediately.
As mentioned before, in order to prepare for the war that could break out at any time, since the first round of fighting began, Luo Ji specially ordered that basically every city should free up one or two vehicles for the emergency support of soldiers in the rear military camps.
steam train.
Now it can obviously come in handy...
"Quick, quick, quick! Put all your equipment on your back and get in the car quickly!!"
At this moment, the train station in the eastern border area has been directly blocked, temporarily prohibiting any civilians from entering or exiting.
Soldiers wearing military uniforms and carrying tactical backpacks quickly jumped onto the steam train with extremely vigorous movements.
All the seats in the carriages of these steam trains have been removed, regardless of any comfort. They are packed into as many cars as they can, and set off directly, as fast as possible, for the Acas Fortress on the front line.
Send the most troop support!
The steam train filled with soldiers made a slightly sharp whistle and slowly drove out of the train station.
Feeling the vibration of the car body, at this moment, among the soldiers crowded in these carriages, there are veterans who have been on the battlefield and supported the front line, as well as new recruits who have just completed their training in recent months.
The sudden arrival of war caused the expressions on the faces of every soldier to be extremely complicated.
Nervous? Uneasy? Scared? Excited?
All kinds of emotions are clearly displayed on their faces.
At the moment when they received the order to 'dispatch', their training results of countless days and nights finally had the opportunity to show off, and this moment was the time for them to rush to the battlefield!
Chapter completed!
