"Expand the troops as straight as possible! The military line must be controlled! We must withstand the opponent's attack head-on and defeat the opponent!..." Kolya looked at the green flag of King Arant on the opposite side and spoke to himself
The subordinates ordered.
5,000 people, facing a force ten times their own, is definitely the most tragic battle in human history. A few years ago, these 5,000 people might not even have a chance to retreat.
But now, Kolya never thought about leading his men to retreat. All he could think about was using his own troops to defeat his opponent head-on. No matter who the opponent was, he wanted to give it a try.
He wanted to test whether the heavy machine guns in his queue were so terrifying. He wanted to test whether his artillery was as powerful as during training. He wanted to test whether any troops could withstand him.
Frontal attack with 5,000 people!
Yes, he didn't think about defense at all. He was preparing to confront the opponent and defeat him in one go.
"March to the drum! Let the soldiers advance! We have no time to waste!" He rode on his horse and ordered the officers around him: "Let the artillerymen give each other some music! I don't want them to be neat and tidy.
Watch us kill them!"
Opposite him, General Arant Lombak, a royal general in a golden helmet, was also riding on a war horse. In front of him, the troops in gray armor formed a huge phalanx, and countless spears stood in front of him.
, the green Arant battle flag fluttered in the wind.
"Let the red cannons be ready! They must be preparing to bombard us!" Lombak pulled the reins and told his generals: "Let them regret it and give us this weapon!"
"Yes!" A general bowed his head and responded, and as he shouted, huge bronze cannons were pushed out from the crowd one after another. The caliber of these huge cannons was even larger than what Chris had drawn on the drawing.
, the caliber is also larger, almost 100 mm.
Then, countless Arant soldiers began to operate around these cannons. They stuffed gunpowder into the cannons, followed by a huge solid iron ball. Only when firing such iron ball shells, the cannon's
range to reach the designed maximum distance.
"Hoo! Ha!" chants rang out one after another at the artillery positions of the Arant Empire. These soldiers pulled the cannons, drove the horses, and pushed these heavy cannons into the firing positions.
On the plain in the distance facing them, Corea, the commander of the Irish army, put down the telescope in his hand and turned his head to look at a general beside him: "What are they doing? Those are bigger than carriages.
Do you want something huge to be a cannon?”
"I don't know! General! Our artillery is ready! It can fire at any time... Should we prioritize destroying those 'red cannons' to ensure the safety of our infantry?"
"Of course! Fire immediately! Kick the opponent's artillery off the battlefield! I don't want to hear the enemy's artillery, it's best not to hear a sound!" Kolya ordered his artillery commander with a deep look on his face.
The opponent made a fist with his right hand and pressed it on his chest, then took the reins of the war horse, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards the artillery position not far away. Less than a minute later, Eiland Hill's artillery started its own
's performance.
"Boom! Boom!" With the first round of shooting, each cannon of the artillery staggered its firing time. They asked their observers to confirm the impact point of their shells, so that they could adjust their own in subsequent shootings.
Shooting angle.
After more than a year of rapid development, Ireland's artillery has developed into a system of its own. They have their own technology and their own tactics. They are no longer just rookies who simply fire and pour ammunition.
Then, in Kolya's telescope, within the Arant army formation in the distance, there was a huge explosion, and wisps of black smoke shot up into the sky. The opponent's position began to be chaotic, and the originally neat formation
The square array also changed its shape.
"Boom!" After adjusting his shooting parameters, the second round of artillery bombardment began immediately. The rear-loading cannon showed a strong fire rate advantage. The caliber of Eiland Hill's artillery was not large but it was very powerful. The soldiers loaded
It's also easier.
More than half of the shells poured out by these 75mm-caliber field infantry artillery fell into the artillery positions of the Arantian Empire. For a time, thick smoke covered the entire Arantian Empire's artillery positions, and even Elansi
Your artillery observers could not see clearly the results of their battle.
"I hope these fools will learn a lesson! The bigger the cannon, the more powerful it is!" Putting down the telescope, Kolya sneered and said to the people around him. His words caused a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Get up, it seems that everyone is here to camp rather than to fight.
On the opposite side of the Arant Empire position, the atmosphere was not so relaxed and comfortable. Arant Lombak, whose expression was extremely ugly, looked at the almost abandoned artillery position, gritted his teeth and issued the order to continue fighting.
"Let the remaining artillery be ready to fight back! Even if there is only one cannon, we must give the other side a little color!" He ordered while looking at the Ailan Hill formation in the distance.
It is more accurate to say that it is a military line than a military formation: the opponent seems to have only three rows of soldiers, and the battle line is almost as long as the 50,000 people of the Arant Empire here. This kind of defense line is not thick at all.
, unable to stop the impact of cavalry or infantry at all.
But the premise is that there are cavalry or infantry who can rush to this line of troops. Although there is an ominous premonition, but looking at the opponent's slender line of troops, Alan Lombak still thinks that he should test and attack the opponent.
Make plans again.
Even if there are 10,000 people, we still have an advantage. It is better if we can defeat the opponent. If we cannot defeat the opponent, it seems that we can retreat in time. Anyway, the opponent does not have such a heaven-defying unit as the Dragon Knight, so of course it is
You can't do the whole thing of crushing and chasing.
"General Emir! Lead your army of ten thousand people forward! Break through the opponent's thin line of defense, and I guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will promote you to the rank of general!" Looking at the brave general beside him, Lombak snapped.
commanded.
After destroying the artillery of the Alante Empire, the opponent's artillery began extended shooting. Several infantry phalanxes had been hit by artillery shells, and the losses began to frighten the soldiers. If they did not attack at this time, the entire army would collapse.
So Lombak began to counterattack. He wanted to overwhelm the superior troops and bring the two armies into contact as much as possible. As long as they fought together, he could take advantage of his strength and crush the opponent's defense line.
"Let the cavalry on both wings attack! No miracle will happen if you wait in place!" Although he was not very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of his cavalry, Kelunbach decided to create pressure on the opponent's two wings as soon as possible so that the opponent could not use artillery unscrupulously.
.
"Ailan Hill has his own new cannon! Send this news back to the royal city immediately! We have been fooled!" Handing the envelope with his seal to a messenger, Lombak told the other party: "Maybe Ailan Hill
Hill may have other weapons, so your Majesty must be careful!"
The messenger nodded and galloped south on his horse. A dozen knights merged behind the messenger in the distance. Watching these knights run away, Lombak then returned his attention to the battlefield.
At this time, the artillery of the Arant Empire, which was finally ready, fired their first cannon shot: "Boom!"
A shell hit the back of the Eiland Hill grenadier, splashing a cloud of dust in the open space, but did not cause any casualties to Eiland Hill. And Eiland Hill's artillery responded to the opponent's provocation,
Another round of artillery fire accurately landed on the Allant Empire's artillery position, burying it in black smoke again.
"Forward!" Following the orders one after another, the phalanx of gray-armored Arantian Empire soldiers began to move forward slowly. They walked in neat steps, held their spears high, and shouted slogans towards their opponents.
.
Opposite them, with the constant beating of the marching drum, the Eilanhill grenadiers have advanced hundreds of steps. These light infantry without armor protection moved forward step by step, with the weapons on their shoulders
The muzzle of the rifle swayed from side to side with the steps.
Beside them, soldiers pushing heavy machine guns shouted slogans and bent down to keep the heavy Maxim within the infantry line. Behind them were platoon commanders, company commanders, and battalion commanders who were advancing with the troops.
There is a leader.
"The opponent's cavalry is moving towards the two wings..." An officer looked at Kolya and asked, "Should we pause our advance and be careful about our flanks?"
"No need! Let those prairie cavalry deal with those Alante cavalry! If they lose, it doesn't matter! I will defeat the Chinese army on the opposite side and still have time to organize the formation!" Kolya waved his hand confidently, denying
He received the advice of his subordinates: "I only need one attack! That's enough!"
"One two one! One two one!" On the battle line, every platoon leader kept shouting slogans to keep his soldiers in an orderly pace. These soldiers had already distanced themselves from each other.
The distance has reached 500 meters, and now they are very close to each other.
"Keep moving forward! The enemy is right in front of you! Victory belongs to Eiland Hill!" Holding his position, a company commander pressed his sword and reminded the soldiers around him loudly. Now he was also very nervous, because
He was just a soldier who participated in the Battle of the Eastern Forest a year ago.
Now, he can command a company of soldiers. He himself can't believe that one day he will be able to become a commander.
