An Ning rode a horse and stood beside his military formation.
At this time, he felt a bit like playing "Mount and Blade".
In "Mount and Blade 2", riding a horse and swinging in front of your own military formation is almost the same feeling.
However, in the Mount and Blade series, there is no telescope as a prop.
An Ning held a monocular and carefully observed the chaotic enemy.
It seems that the column was suddenly bombarded while it was marching, causing the enemy to fall into chaos.
It should be said that the enemy's non-commissioned officers were quite capable, and in this state they could still manage to form a horizontal formation.
It's a pity that the foundation of the rebels is so poor that the rebel troops are in a strange state: the rebels close to the rebel leader have gone down the road and formed a horizontal line, but the rebels far away from the leader are still in column.
If the rebel leader mounts his horse, runs back and forth in front of the team, and kicks the butts of those slow-moving rebel soldiers, he may still be able to transform the team into a horizontal formation.
It's a pity that the bearded rebel leader didn't ride a horse.
Obviously the carriage he was riding in also had horses, so just untie the horses from the carriage and ride on.
But the bearded leader chose to stand on the carriage and give orders.
He may not be able to ride a horse.
At this time, Christina next to her suggested: "The enemy is in chaos. If we use cavalry to attack at this time, we can probably end the battle."
An Ning: "You only have 200 cavalry, are you overthinking it if you want to defeat 3,000 people?"
Christina pursed her lips: "The collapse of morale has nothing to do with the number of people..."
"No, I want to choose a more secure method. Don't worry, you will be shocked, but not now."
As he spoke, An Ning lightly kicked the horse's belly and made it start to trot. He turned the horse's head and let the horse run past the front of the infantry line at a small pace. It ran all the way to the end and then turned back, and finally stopped in the middle of the line.
When he ran for the first time, An Ning thought he would hear cheers, but he didn't. The infantrymen just looked at him strangely.
The reason why An Ning had this fantasy was because he remembered the scene in the movie Napoleon, where Napoleon rode in front of the infantry, and the infantry's morale was high, and the mountains shouted long live.
Facts have proved that this is the kind of treatment only Napoleon has.
An Ning: "You also saw it! The enemy was bombarded and fell into chaos! Now is a good opportunity to attack! Don't be afraid just because there are more enemies than us. They are just a mob of three thousand and are not our opponent at all! I bet they
Can't stand our firing!"
After saying that, An Ning drew out his sword and waved forward: "All troops, move forward!"
Just at this time, the artillery team launched a new round of shelling.
The military band was the first to respond, beating a tight drumbeat.
Immediately afterwards, the non-commissioned officers loudly ordered: "Everyone, move forward!"
The orders of the non-commissioned officers were passed one by one, like echoes, all the way to the other end of the apple orchard.
The blue queue shook for a moment, then surged forward like a huge wave.
An Ning rode on his horse and gave way to the troops.
When he came to the side, Christina came up and said, "You don't let me attack, but you let the troops advance? With the level of training of the Self-Defense Forces, is this appropriate?"
An Ning pointed at the enemy formation in the distance: "Look at the enemy's situation. The enemy's morale will collapse in the first wave of firing."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball landed right in front of the enemy's formation, splashing up a large handful of soil, and then the enemy fell in large pieces.
From An Ning's distance, you couldn't see the rebounding shells at all, you could only see the enemy staggering and falling.
An Ning: "Look! After a while, the artillery will blast them away."
Christina: "Well... indeed..."
At this time, An Ning saw that his infantry had turned the original horizontal formation into a convex formation. The group of people in the middle ran very fast, pulling down the people on both sides.
An Ning couldn't help but hold her forehead: "I knew they couldn't walk in line."
Christina joked: "It's better to let my girls attack. At least we can keep the formation in order."
An Ning: "Forget it, it's enough to deal with a bunch of rabble."
After saying this, An Ning closed her mouth and watched her troops approach the enemy in increasingly ugly formations.
At this time, the enemy was even more confused. The bearded leader ran back and forth along the line, kicking the rebel soldiers desperately with his feet, trying to get them to line up.
When An Ning's troops reached half the distance, the rebels couldn't help but started shooting.
Christina: "Shooting at this distance is not a salvo. It's impossible to hit anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, more rebels opened fire. An Ning could already imagine the scene where the rebel noncommissioned officers - if there were any - were cursing while preventing the soldiers from firing.
The white smoke from the firing gradually obscured the rebel line. Coupled with the white mist produced by the artillery fire at this time, the entire battlefield was shrouded in white mist, making the field of vision very poor.
An Ning could barely see that his troops were already close to fifty fathoms away from the rebels.
An Ning: "Why didn't they stop and shoot?"
Christina: "Are you... sure you have a designated commander for the attack? You need the command from the commander."
An Ning slapped her head hard: "Fuck, I didn't specify."
In the field of vision, a blue line formed in a convex shape, pressing towards the enemy.
An Ning cursed and said to Christina: "It's too late to give the order. Let's change the strategy. The cavalry will follow me."
After saying that, An Ning kicked the horse in the belly, causing the horse to gallop. He raised the long knife in his hand high and rushed towards the enemy formation.
When Christina saw this, she also drew her long knife: "Girls, follow us!"
Clarisse: "Let us follow the noble killer! Charge!"
Two hundred cavalry followed An Ning, rushed out of the apple orchard, and attacked the black-clad army who were still in chaos!
The rumble of horse hooves is like thunder!
**
At this time, Second Lieutenant Russell was leading the troops towards the enemy.
He looked at the enemy's distance and couldn't help but mutter: "Should we stop shooting?"
Second Lieutenant Russell did not realize that he was now the highest-ranking person in the attacking infantry team, so he had no intention of ordering the troops to stop and shoot.
Although he really felt like he should stop and fire.
Suddenly, he heard the rumble of horse hooves behind him.
He looked back and saw An Ning leading the cavalry girls from the side of the queue menacingly.
Russell's head felt hot and he shouted: "Boss is charging! Let's go too! Everyone, bayonet charge!"
When the military band next to him heard this, the musicians immediately beat the drums passionately.
The non-commissioned officers also shouted with Russell: "Charge! Kill!"
Then, stimulated by adrenaline, the soldiers also shouted: "Kill!"
"For freedom!"
More than a thousand people, with their bayonets pointed out, attacked the black-clad army who was already in chaos.
**
At this time, the black-clad rebels could not see the enemies who were already in front because of the smoke produced by the shooting.
In this case, a deafening shout of death suddenly came from the other side of the smoke, which was quite scary.
Then something even scarier happened. The men in blue, holding bayonets and looking fierce, rushed through the smoke, literally like ghosts.
The morale of the black army collapsed at this moment.
At first, only a few people retreated in fear, and then the entire front began to flee, as if fear was contagious.
Henry roared: "Don't run! Fight! We have more people than them!"
At this moment, the cavalry appeared on the side of the black-clad army.
So the retreat turned into a rout, and soon everyone began to turn around and run away. It was useless even if Henry killed a few people.
Henry: "Damn it! They're just a bunch of rookies who can't even walk in line!"
However, at this time, the self-defense troops in blue had already rushed in front of Henry.
Henry: "I am a warrior blessed by God...fuck!"
The cold bayonet pierced his stomach.
"Fuck!" Just as Henry was about to speak, several more bayonets pierced his stomach.
