Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 213

The fierce gunfight that suddenly sounded behind the Second Division of the Imperial Army was indeed the late tenth and eleventh divisions of the Second Enkelan Army. These two infantry divisions took the initiative to light their torches after dark. Therefore, it was discovered by the Imperial Army guarding the rear at the first time, and the two sides then fought fiercely.

One side was on the road with torches and the other was in a dim environment. The two sides formed a stark contrast. After the battle, the Enkland army soon discovered that every time the enemy fired, the number of soldiers who fell would be large, but The result of their shooting was incomprehensible because of the dim environment, and they could only be inferred from the dull and painful humming from the other side.

The torches fired by the Enkelans are like a huge target, reminding the Imperial soldiers in which direction to shoot, and because the latter are in the dark, the Enkelans can only rely on the fireworks produced by their shooting. Light to judge the enemy’s position and shoot back.

Because of the problem of light, the Enklan army who participated in the subsequent battle did not know how many enemy troops stood in front of them. Therefore, they did not dare to use aggressive offensive methods. .

The 10th and 11th divisions were also not equipped with artillery, so their battles became pure infantry battles. The tactics of lining up to be shot depended on the morale of the soldiers. win this battle.

After being attacked from the rear, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions began to shift their focus to the new enemy. In Ackerman’s view, the destruction of the enemy’s 6th Division was only a matter of time. The trouble is the newly joined enemy army. According to the report of the scouts they sent out, the combined strength of the two enemy divisions is about 15,000 people, and they have less than 15,000 troops behind them to meet the enemy. Only seven thousand people.

They have no reserves to mobilize. To be precise, there is no extra infantry to mobilize. Now only the 1st Cuirassier Division and the 2nd Dragoon Division commanded by Brennan and Hamill have not participated in the battle. Their The troops had withdrawn from the battlefield, and countless Enkland soldiers had died at their hands. After learning that the enemy reinforcements had joined the war, Brennan and Hamill were eager to try, and could not wait to lead the cavalry to charge the new enemy.

The reasons they gave also made people not picky. In this dim environment, the charge launched by large-scale cavalry can often have miraculous effects…

However, Ackerman and the others did not immediately agree to Brennan’s charge proposal. He was going to wait for the full battle with the enemy before letting the cavalry charge from the left and right flanks.

On the other side, although the Sixth Division, which they did not pay attention to, received a morale buff from the arrival of reinforcements, the difference in strength between the two armies could not be offset by the improved morale. It only allowed them to prolong the resistance time. That’s it.

After the 1st Brigade was defeated and the remnants merged with the 6th Division, they immediately faced the soldiers of the 5th Division of the Imperial Army. The soldiers of the 6th Division quickly tasted the artillery fire that the friendly forces had just tasted. Ten solid shells flew into the crowd under the cover of the night, and ran through **** roads in the Enkelan army formation. The bodies of the soldiers who were hit were also torn apart, and even if they were only slightly rubbed, a large piece of flesh would be scraped away.

Compared with the battle during the day, the battle under the night will have a more serious blow to the morale of the soldiers. Just imagine, when you are standing in the queue and nervously loading the rifle, the gun flames that open from time to time often represent the One of your comrades in the queue will be hit, and the sharp air-breaking sound produced by the high-speed movement of the cannonball in mid-air is like the grin of death. Anyone who is hit by the cannonball will be killed in an instant, even screaming. There was no time to make a sound.

While you’re reloading your rifle, you’re also worried that the projectiles flying out of nowhere in the dark will take away your precious life. Such a tremendous amount of pressure can easily drive a new recruit who has just been sent to the battlefield insane – in the In this case, the recruits have only two fates, either they are scared to the point of a nervous breakdown and finally become a corpse that falls to the ground, or they can break through and transform into a qualified veteran.

It is a pity that they have no chance to transform into veterans and fight for the motherland after being trapped in the siege.

The temptation of the Enklan army who participated in the war did not last long. When they realized that the number of enemies in front of them was far lower than themselves, Commander Enklan issued an order that could be called stupid in the back. ——They ordered the troops to launch a full-scale offensive, intending to break through the enemy’s defense line by relying on the superiority of numbers, and rescue the friendly forces who were still trapped in the siege.

As the Enklan army launched an all-out attack, the Imperial cavalry, who used the darkness and the sound of guns to cover their movement towards the flanks of the battlefield, finally had an excuse to join the war. They hid in the darkness, like beasts waiting for their prey to fall into the trap step by step. Waiting for the opportunity.

Gunfire rang out along the entire front, and after both sides fired at each other (mainly waiting for the Enkelans to enter the effective killing range of their muskets), the two Imperial cavalry divisions that had already moved to the flanks sounded the horns of attack, frantically. The fiercely fighting imperial cavalry tore off their disguise, arrogantly lit torches, and galloped towards the flank of the front line. The deafening sound of horse hooves and the lit torches exposed the imperial cavalry to the enemy’s sight. Crane’s army turned to face the enemy in a panic.

If you look down on this battlefield from the sky, the charging imperial cavalry is like a fire dragon moving on the ground, roaring and moving quickly in the same direction!

“Charge! For His Majesty the Emperor!”

“For the emperor! For the empire!”

The cuirassiers and dragoons shouted the same slogan~www.mtlnovel.com~ After rushing into a distance of about 50 meters, they suddenly raised their horses to the highest speed and crashed into the panic before forming an anti-cavalry party. In the crowd, any infantry who blocked their charge route was knocked over and knocked over. The impact of the high-speed charging horses was no less than that of the galloping trucks. It was completely wishful thinking to block their charge with the flesh and blood of the infantry. , Medieval heavy armoured infantry cannot, and even less armoured musketeers.

The charge of the two cavalry divisions ripped apart the flanks of the Enkelan army in an instant, and they were like death knights from hell, taking the lives of all the soldiers who dared to resist without mercy, under great fear. , the flank of Enkelan’s army collapsed in an instant, and the soldiers turned around and fled, exposing their fragile backs to the enemy’s attack range.

Fortunately, no one was interested in those routed soldiers. After defeating the enemy’s flanks, the imperial cavalry did not stop their footsteps and continued to charge towards the enemy troops who were still fighting!

The rout of the flanks and the charge of the imperial cavalry caused a terrible chain reaction on the battlefield. The emotion of fear spread on the battlefield like a plague. Especially in this dark night, the fear was magnified dozens of times. Quickly, the battlefield was filled with the fleeing Enklan rout, and the catastrophic rout happened.
