Chapter 808： Confrontation (on)

However, it turns out that what the Gede people think is too beautiful ...

Marshal Bonitz sent people to the surrounding villages to catch young farmers on the same day. The next day, under the persecution of the soldiers of the Geddes, the farmers who were caught locally held simple tools such as wooden sticks and hoes. After climbing the wall in front, the musketeers at the head of the city did waste some ammunition. But soon, the defending commander Kevin thought of countermeasures ...

"Gary (name of the commander of the infantry commander of the Principality of Cliff), it's up to you! These people who climbed the walls are just the local farmers who were caught. Our ammunition is precious and can't be wasted on them. So, your infantry goes up to use Spears poke those farmers down ... "

"Relax, look at us!" After that, the Commander of the Cliff Infantry took the 3000 Cliff Infantry to the battlement ...

Although the infantry fighting power of the Principality of Cliff is average, the local farmers who climbed the wall in the front are even worse. Therefore, three kilograms of infantry in the Principality of the River Principality easily withstood the attacks of the farmers. Even if a farmer was lucky enough to climb the city head, he was quickly stabbed to the ground by the infantry of the Principality of Cliff in the city ...

Seeing this scene, Marshal Bonitz and Taosk, who were under the supervision of the city, were cold and sweating Nima. Do you want to react so fast?

As a result, this poison meter was soon resolved and used. The offensive of the Gedesi army was naturally suppressed ...

Marshal Bonitz sighed and said:

"Forget it, let's wait until the sky clears and use artillery troops to continue bombarding the wall. In addition, let's get some trebuchets to destroy the wall together!" Anyway, the Habsburg family's army was dragged by the French. It's a big deal. Use Ordinary long-term siege means ...

...

The next day, while the Gedesi army drove the captured farmer of the Principality of Brabant to climb the city walls, Schwartz also led the army to continue on the road. Although the rain caused muddy roads, Schwartz knew that in such weather, the musketeers of the Geddes army would be misfired. Opportunities are rare, so he ordered the army and the strong men to force their way, striving to reach the front line earlier, and then attack the enemy ...

...

Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, Schwartz ’s army arrived before the darkness and started camping in the north of a forest not far from the Gedesi army camp. After all, after driving for two days in the muddy ground on a rainy day, people were indeed exhausted. If an attack is launched at this time, the poor soldiers will be easily defeated. Therefore, Schwartz let the army rest for one night, and then attacked again tomorrow morning ...

...

However, what made Schwartz vomit blood was that when the army gathered well the next morning and drove behind the large formation of the Geddes army, the rain actually stopped ...

Bonitz had planned to attack the walls of Parsons again, but unexpectedly, a large enemy army came from a distance. Looking at the banner, it was actually the Principality of Cliff ...

"Old Mason really gathered a large army?" Bonitz looked at the other side. It was estimated that there were 20,000 or 30,000 opponents, and he was suddenly stunned ...

After the reaction, old Mason hurriedly ordered a change. It happened that because it was raining before, the 2000 Geddes matchlock gunman stayed at the end of the battle, holding the fireproof matchlock gun wrapped in animal skins on standby. When the army of Geddes turned back, the 2,000 musketeers happened to be in the front row. Moreover, because the rain stopped, they simply took the matchlock gun out of the animal skin bag, loaded the ammunition, and aimed at Schwartz's army ...

Schwartz was a little dumbfounded by Nima. It was still raining a little bit. How could we wait for the enemy to run near the rain suddenly stopped? Don't you pit me?

Schwartz wanted to turn around with the army, but he knew it was impossible. Because it hurts morale. If morale collapses and the enemy forces attack again, the army may be defeated. Therefore, knowing that it is difficult, he must also fight with the enemy. Besides, in terms of strength, is the strength of the local army stronger ...

Thinking of this, Schwartz did not rush to attack, but ordered the army to stop 250 meters before the enemy formation. Then, wait for the artillery behind to come forward to complete the deployment ...

Schwartz ’s army was armed with a three-pound gun, with an effective range of three to four hundred meters. At a distance of 250 meters, the artillery of the Beihai team can shell the enemy leisurely, and the enemy ...

Of course, because it has been raining before, the artillery force stayed behind. After all, the artillery of the North Sea country was triggered by a fuze, not a clockwork. Therefore, on a rainy day, the artillery triggered by the fuze could not be used. Schwartz simply left the artillery at the end. But now that the rain stopped suddenly, Schwartz sent people to the back and ordered the artillery to come forward to deploy and shell the enemy.

...

"Quickly! Lift the artillery to the back and face the enemy!" Marshal Bonitz commanded loudly. As Schwartz thought, Bonitz also planned to use artillery to bombard his opponent first.

The guns used by the Gedesi army are all bronze guns provided by France. There are two types of 2 pound guns and 3 pound guns. There are 15 guns in total. However, unlike Marin's North Sea country's Franconian artillery, the North Sea country's artillery does not have a gun mount, and the artillery carried the barrel to deploy before the formation. Before deployment, you need to dig the pit first and bury the barrel first ...

But there is a big difference between the artillery mount and the non-carriage mount. With the artillery mount on wheels, the artillery units of the North Sea moved faster. Although the artillery was mobilized at about the same time, the artillery of the Beihai Kingdom was first deployed and aimed at the opposite side. After all, the artillery of the North Sea country has wheels, and it is super convenient to deploy as long as it is facing the enemy ...

Therefore, when the artillery of the Gede Division was still digging a pit in front of the formation to bury the barrel, the Beihai artillery took the lead

The first round of "Boom Boom" was a school shot, and the accuracy was not high, but there were still a lot of Gedeshi generals. After all, there are 140,000 troops in the Gede Division, as long as the direction is right, how can the artillery of the North Sea be caught in a few ...

After ~ www.novelhall.com ~ the artillery battle officially began ...

After a while, Marshal Bonitz noticed that the gap was coming. The opposing artillery was more powerful. Moreover, there are 30 guns on the opposite side, and he only has 15 guns ... however, he is at a loss if he bombards each other ...

So, after watching for a while, Marshal Bonitz finally made up his mind:

"The whole army gathers, abandons the artillery, and advances quickly! The enemy stands at a distance of 50 steps before the enemy. Then, the musketeer strikes the opposing artillery and musketeer! Priority is given to shooting the enemy artillery!"

Then, the artillery of the Gedesi army abandoned the artillery position and made way for the army ...

Under the commander's very rhythmic command, the soldiers of the Geddes army, holding their spears and muskets flat, moved forward in a relatively neat formation, ignoring the artillery fire on the opposite side ...

"what"

"what"

...

Along the way, the screams of the soldiers could not be heard, but Marshal Bonitz was deaf, but ordered the army to continue to advance against the artillery. At the same time, the gendarmes formed by the simulated French army (the gendarmes originated in France and appeared during the British-French Centennial War) withdrew their sabers and began to hack all soldiers who wanted to escape from the team ... Although more than 300 casualties were halfway through, they were well trained The army of Gede Si still arrived at the 50 steps opposite the Schwarz army as planned ...

The distance of one step in Europe is 075 meters, and 50 steps is 375 meters, which is just within the aimable shooting range of the matchlock. After reaching the prescribed distance, the Geders Musketeer, commanding Kasmir, withdrew his command knife and shouted:

"In the first row, raise your gun and aim at the opposing artillery! Ready"

"put"

"Pappappap ..." A burst of gunfire came, and many of the artillery soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom fell to the ground and burst into misery ...
