When Arthur led his people to attack the human army at night, Wolf King was watching not far away.
The fire illuminated half of the sky, and the fierce gunshots only rang out for less than half an hour before falling silent. The 800 elite werewolves disappeared, and only a handful of dozen werewolves escaped.
Wolf suppressed the thought of rescue deep in his heart and turned away from the battlefield.
He also became suspicious after suffering a big loss, but the combat effectiveness of the human army shocked him even more.
The superiority in weapons has completely eliminated the individual differences between humans and werewolves, and a human army of a considerable size is not afraid of a head-on conflict between a pack of wolves of the same size.
With this great victory, the National Army seems to have found a way to deal with werewolves. As long as regiment-sized units have good defensive measures and are well commanded, they can handle the night raids that werewolves are best at, and a battalion-level unit is not afraid of them during the day.
Fight head-on.
The scope of activities of the 3rd Army on the vast plains on the south bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Longjiang River suddenly became larger. They built military bunkers everywhere in battalion units. These simple fortifications were connected in series with each other and used traditional beacon fire to convey the enemy's situation, which greatly reduced the area of operations.
The werewolf's activity space.
At the same time, the National Army moved the local humans out and cleared the country, so that the werewolves could not rely on robbery to obtain precious food. Hunting was a very dangerous and luxurious thing, because the patrols of the National Army could kill at any time.
By the autumn of 1839, the werewolves, led by Wolf, finally migrated eastward to St. Nuve, because the National Army approached their temporary settlement of old, weak, women and children at least three times, which was quite dangerous.
On the horizon, werewolves stood in front of the pursuing National Army.
These werewolves were all old and stayed voluntarily. They looked depressed but did not lack the courage to die.
Ozuf, who has been promoted to deputy brigade commander of the cavalry brigade directly under the legion, is the commander of the 3rd legion responsible for pursuing the werewolves.
The cavalry moved like a wall. They did not gallop, but lined up in a tight formation and pushed forward slowly. They did not give the werewolves a chance to fight hand-to-hand. Instead, they distanced themselves and carried out precise attacks at a safe distance of about 120 meters.
Project firepower.
The other two cavalry regiments were on the left and right respectively, forming an outflanking posture.
This simple attack method makes the werewolves most uncomfortable. In order not to become a lamb to be slaughtered, the werewolves either retreat or actively attack in the face of a hail of bullets in order to seek opportunities for close combat.
If you are lucky, the werewolves will also cause some damage to the National Army, but at this time, the soldiers in the front row of the National Army have completed at least three shots, and there are very few werewolves who can get close to start a hand-to-hand fight.
As the number of battles between the two sides increases, the National Army becomes more and more sophisticated in dealing with werewolf counterattacks.
The same thing happened this time. Faced with a group of werewolves who generously sacrificed themselves to death, the three battalions of the cavalry regiment that faced each other head-on were divided into three parts: front, middle and rear, with a distance of one hundred meters from each other. Each cavalry battalion was lined up in two.
A tight line.
When the werewolves rushed over, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion, after firing two rounds of bullets, quickly moved to both sides to get out of sight of the frontal battlefield, regardless of the outcome. Since they were cavalry, this made it difficult for them to
They were bitten by a werewolf who was still some distance away from them.
At this time, the cavalry line of the 2nd Battalion was less than a hundred meters away from the rushing werewolves. This distance was the best distance for the carbines in their hands to take advantage of their firepower.
Gunshots sounded like exploding beans, and most of the werewolves had fallen down, wailing all over the field. The other two cavalry regiments responsible for outflanking them had already come from behind and killed them.
The one-sided battle situation did not make Ozuf too happy.
He is from the north, but by chance he came to the south to make a living. When Sean was preparing for the Genoa Civil Defense Force, he became one of the few cavalry officers in the Civil Defense Force because he was a former imperial cavalryman. He was also considered one of the shortest choices.
General. Unexpectedly, he worked in the army for ten years and became a senior officer.
Ten years ago, he followed Sean and fought against the werewolves. Compared with that time, the werewolves' fighting power was actually worse. It was not that the werewolves were not brave, but that his own side was stronger.
The still-dead werewolves lay on the ground wailing, and the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield ended their lives with bullets. They dug a huge hole in the ground, threw the werewolf corpses in and buried them.
Riding on his horse, Ozuf lit a cigarette comfortably and cast his gaze to the eastern horizon. Not far away was the boundary of the province of San Nuve.
Driving the werewolves to St. Nuve seemed to be a well-planned plan by the big shots, as the province was still under the control of the royalists.
But for Sean, the ravages of werewolves also delayed his plan to restore the economy of southern Longjiang for a year.
In the autumn of 1839, the only thing that made Sean happy was that the railway finally crossed the Otter Mountains and laid the tracks to the north. It was expected to be built to Daguerre by the end of the year.
In order to build this railway through the mountains, the Genoese people spent five years and paid a huge price, spending tens of millions of money. Many railway workers died in endless construction accidents.
However, not many people paid attention to the deaths of railway workers. The Genoese had high hopes for this railway because it would greatly expand the space for southerners and allow southern power to expand rapidly northward.
Once the monster train came to the north, it changed the course of the north faster than people expected. Genoa's capital quickly expanded to the north through this railway. Many factories sprung up along the railway, and the machines of these factories were running day and night.
It breathes, makes a rumbling roar, and continuously produces industrial products and arms.
In the north, the long-term war allowed the Liberals to break through the final bottom line. They actually formed an alliance with the Assyrians and tried to use the power of the Assyrians to deal with Jean Sauron.
The werewolves got a temporary respite in Saint Nuve. After an autumn and a winter of fighting, the local royalist forces drove the werewolves to the north of Longjiang, but they also suffered a lot of losses. The National Army took the opportunity to enter Saint Nuve.
Nuwei, seized the power of Saint Nuwei.
Joseph Frank even came to Gale in person to see Sean, protested face to face, and asked the National Army to withdraw from Saint-Nuve. However, Sean refused Frank's request in the name of the collective decision-making of the Confederacy.
This also heralded the break between the southern forces led by Sean and the royalists.
At this time, royalists and anti-Holy City forces gathered around Jean, allowing Jean to control three provinces with more than 200,000 troops.
As for Jean's opponents, the Holy City's new army exceeds 200,000. Together with the Assyrians and the werewolves who have been protected by the Holy City, the total strength exceeds 300,000.
On December 12, 1839, Carlos II was led to the gallows.
