Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 211

After the first platoon of soldiers fired a salvo, the following second platoon of soldiers stepped forward under the command of the officer, stopped after ten steps, and raised their guns to aim.

An imperial soldier put the rifle **** on his shoulder and aimed his eyes at the enemy more than a hundred meters away along the muzzle. After such a long distance, he could still see the Enkelan he was aiming at. With the terrified look on the soldier’s face, the soldier did not feel pity because of the look on the enemy’s face. He meditated “May the Holy Spirit forgive your sins” in his heart, and then pulled the trigger together with his comrades.

clap clap-

After the sound of gunshots, the soldier didn’t check to see if the projectile he shot had killed the enemy, he put the rifle in front of him, took out a paper bag from the ammunition bag at his waist, and bit it open with his mouth. The top seal, then black powder and conical projectiles are poured into the barrel, and the drawbar is pulled out to stab it firmly.

At the same time as they were loading, the original third row of soldiers also stepped over the first two rows of comrades under the order of the officer, stood at the front, and shot at the enemy. How could the Enklan soldiers be willing to be beaten passively, they also moved forward under the encouragement and orders of the officers, and took the initiative to meet the enemy.

“First row, go ahead!”

After the third row of soldiers fired, the original first row of soldiers continued to move forward. These three rows of soldiers seemed to be in a loop, pouring a steady stream of intensive firepower on the enemy.

Looking at the Enkelans who dared to take the initiative to attack, the Imperial soldiers who returned to the first row couldn’t help showing a contemptuous smile. He raised his gun and aimed at one of the youths with a slightly immature face, with panic on his immature face. The look on his face, it seems that he is another hairy boy who was sent to the battlefield not long ago.

Without the slightest pity, the soldier pulled the trigger at the unfortunate recruit. After a round of gunshots, the sight in front of him was immediately blocked by the choking white gunpowder. The moment the gunpowder completely blocked his sight, he saw with his own eyes that he was killed by him. The left chest of the boy who was aiming was penetrated by the projectile, a cloud of blood mist burst out, and his body fell backwards along the inertia.

The continuous shooting of the enemy made the morale and fighting will of the Enklan soldiers begin to shake, and even the pace of advancing with them was deliberately slowed down. After another round of salvos from the front, the advancing Enklan The soldiers suddenly had no will to fight, and screamed and turned to flee.

On the other side, seeing that his own infantry had already engaged the enemy, Brennan, the commander of the 1st Dragoon Division, who had detoured to the flank of the battlefield, drew his saber excitedly, raised it high, and shouted loudly: “The lions of the 1st Division. , attack with me, and smash the Enklan chops!”

“Attack! Attack! Attack!”

The cavalry responded loudly to the general’s call and rode their horses forward behind him. The movements of the enemy cavalry were immediately noticed by Harper, the commander of Enkelland. He looked at the constantly surging battle flag, and his expression changed greatly. , hurriedly ordered the last reserve to rush to the flank for support, and at the same time ordered the troops on the flank to prepare for anti-cavalry.

However, the imperial army has already attacked across the board, and the entire front is at war with the enemy. The troops on the flank have no spare capacity to guard against the enemy cavalry. They can only watch the enemy cavalry gradually increase their speed and draw closer to them in despair. Finally into the charge state!

“Damn, shoot! Shoot!”

Under the enormous psychological pressure, Enklan’s flanks were chaotic, and the soldiers fought each other, either facing the approaching enemy infantry, or turning around to meet the cavalry, but more people screamed and kept retreating. want to escape from here.

In such a chaotic situation, only a few soldiers fired successfully. Some people even panicked and fired without pulling out the connecting rod after loading, causing the firearm to explode, or simply forgot to pour gunpowder into it. , desperately hitting the trigger.

“Charge! Crush them!”

Brennan roared, taking the lead against the scattered projectiles fired by the Enkelans soldiers, and rushed into the chaos of the crowd. Below, the swung saber also cut off the right arm of a soldier who raised his rifle to shoot. The latter then clutched the broken arm and cried out in pain, and his throat was slit by the cavalry who followed.

The charge of the cavalry directly defeated the Enklan army on the flank, and spread to the surrounding friendly troops who were still fighting. When the supporting reserves arrived, what they saw were the rout soldiers screaming and fleeing, and in the crowd. The cuirassiers slashed and slashed and cheered the enemy infantry who participated in the pursuit.

“Form a hollow phalanx to defend against the enemy!”

The reserve officer immediately ordered the formation. He knew that retreating now would only increase the speed of the rout. Only by stopping the enemy and returning to the battlefield after the friendly forces were rectified could the gradually retreating battle situation be stabilized.

As a result, these reserve soldiers formed a number of anti-cavalry phalanxes at the fastest speed. At the same time, they shouted at the defeated soldiers who had retreated, so that the defeated soldiers should not attack the phalanx, and use the reserved passages between the squares. Returning to the rear to regroup, although the defeated soldiers lost their fighting spirit, they did not lose their minds to the point of attacking the phalanx.

The anti-cavalry phalanx formed by the reserve team successfully stopped the pursuit of the cuirassiers. Brennan stopped the continued pursuit of his subordinates in time. He stopped the horse and threw a knife flower, and the blood on the saber was thrown away. , looking at the rout soldiers fleeing in embarrassment and the phalanx waiting in battle, he ordered to the subordinates who also stopped behind him:

“Stop attacking, let our friendly forces come for the next battle!”

It is true that he advocates using cavalry to charge frontally, but this does not mean that he will lead the cavalry to attack a hollow phalanx of anti-cavalry that is waiting for the battle. That is an extremely stupid move.

…

The battle ahead is in full swing~www.mtlnovel.com~ And at the rear of the 2nd Division, Vesto Ackerman received a bad news-the scout they sent out reported, Enkelan The two infantry divisions of the army are approaching this side, and it will take less than an hour at the slowest, and the enemy reinforcements will arrive on the battlefield and attack from behind them.

Ackerman, who got the news, immediately told the commander Haddad of the third division. The latter was also uneasy after learning about it. They sent more scouts to investigate the enemy’s situation. The reserve team guarded their rear.

Of course, they did not deliberately block the news, but told the soldiers without reservation – this was Haddad’s plan. He deliberately exaggerated the number of enemy reinforcements to create a sense of crisis for the soldiers, and then demanded They defeat the enemy in front of them as soon as possible, and only in this way can they avoid being surrounded by the enemy.

Facts have proved that Haddad’s plan has worked. When the soldiers on the front line heard that a larger enemy reinforcements were coming here, not only did they not feel fear, but instead increased their attack on the enemy in front of them. Try to defeat the enemy before reinforcements arrive.

Harper and his 6th Division never imagined that the reinforcements they had been looking forward to became the driving force for the enemy to strengthen the offensive.
