Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 238

“attack!”

Accompanied by the roar of the Imperial Army officers and the passionate attacking horns, the blue-blue wave formed by the Imperial infantry rushed forward, and wave after wave rushed to the khaki line of defense formed by the Enkelan army.

If you look down from a high altitude, the attacking imperial army is like a huge flood, trying to hit the khaki **** formed by the Enkelan army, but it suddenly stopped before reaching the dyke, and then a large white smoke was raised. , the smoke of gunpowder was quickly dissipated by the passing breeze, just like the water vapor produced by the tide.

The Enklan army in the defensive array and the Imperial army in the attack were also equipped with rifled guns that could kill the enemy at a long distance, so they fired first when the enemy entered a distance of 400 meters from the farthest shooting range, and fired the same Also deployed behind the line were the Enjun artillery, the deadly solid shells flew over the heads of the soldiers at high speed, fell into the crowd with a shrieking sound symbolizing the grin of death, and crushed a **** road.

Although the longest shooting distance of the rifled gun can be as high as 400 meters, its accuracy can be said to be greatly reduced at such a long distance. After the soldiers of the En army fired several rows of salvos, the steadily advancing imperial infantry line fell. not many soldiers.

“Don’t be afraid, hold your rifle, as long as we keep our faith, victory will be ours!”

On the side of the advancing infantry line, Arpad Pallet, holding a command knife in one hand and a flintlock pistol in the other, encouraged his subordinates loudly. Since the outbreak of the war, he has survived to take over the commander’s place. position and become a company commander.

The Tenth Division of the Fourth Army, to which he belongs, returned to the battlefield after being replenished and repaired in Belvin Province. However, because the previous battle was very fierce, the veterans of the Tenth Division suffered heavy losses. Nearly half of the soldiers of the 10th Division returning to the front line are newly recruited recruits, and despite the systematic blessings, their combat experience is still not comparable to that of the veterans.

whoosh-

At this moment, a cannonball hit him at a distance of less than ten meters in front of him, splashing a piece of dust. After hitting a crater, the cannonball bounced with inertia and flew forward for a certain distance. Luckily Paley was not hit by the cannonball. The cannonball rubbed his body and flew behind him, smashing the team of soldiers behind him like a bowling ball.

Paley only felt a rush of heat rushing past him, and the military cap on his head was also blown to the ground by the wind brought by the fierce cannonball. Then, he heard several screams from behind him. , when he turned his head to see the appalling scene behind him, he broke out in a cold sweat uncontrollably.

Without going up to pick up the blown hat, Paley quickly packed up his mood and ordered his subordinates to move forward. After the first platoon of soldiers of the Imperial Army entered a distance of 200 meters, the commanders of each company ordered to stop advancing and raised their guns. shooting–

bang bang bang-

The imperial army immediately raised a large cloud of gunpowder, and hundreds of people fell in an instant in the line of the enemy army opposite them. The enemy’s first salvo disrupted the movements of many soldiers of the enemy army, and also caused them to fall into a short-lived period. in confusion.

But soon, they broke away from the chaotic state, and continued to shoot at the enemy on the opposite side under the scolding of the officer. On the opposite side, after the first volley was fired, the soldiers in the front row did not continue to advance, but started from A paper-packed bullet was found in the ammunition bag to reload the rifle. The soldiers in the second row quickly stepped forward and passed through the front row comrades, stood in the first row, and fired with their guns.

Compared to the messy free fire of the En’s army, the neat platoons of the imperial army appeared to be more powerful. After the second volley, the enemy’s line on the opposite side fell again by hundreds of people, even with those who were not hit. The movements of the soldiers also became chaotic again.

An Enjun soldier saw with his own eyes that a comrade-in-arms standing beside him was hit in the chest by a bullet, and a cloud of blood burst out. The warm blood splashed even splashed on his face, which stopped him from loading his rifle. For a moment, he was stunned for only a second, then came back to his senses, and quickly pulled out the clear rod inserted in the barrel of the gun. He didn’t care to insert it back under the muzzle, and directly raised the gun and fired randomly at the enemy who was shrouded in gunpowder smoke. A shot, and then quickly put the rifle in front of him, fumbling for the ammunition bag around his waist.

Similar soldiers are very common on the battlefield. The blood spattered on their comrades made their minds suddenly confused, and they lost their calmness even with the next shooting. Kill the enemy, but usually their untargeted bullets will drift off to nowhere, and only a few people will hit the enemy by chance.

When the quality of the individual soldiers was far inferior to the enemy’s, the imperial army only shot a few rounds of platoons, and then the enemy’s line was shaky.

Because the imperial army had persuaded them to surrender before, and all kinds of news in the army were spreading wildly, all the soldiers already knew that the army was overthrown and they were surrounded by heavy siege, so their fighting spirit was actually not strong. After a certain level of casualties, they finally couldn’t bear it and suffered a rout.

I don’t know which soldier put down his weapon first, turned around and fled, and as the first soldier fled, more and more people joined one of the defeated army.

The entire line of defense fell apart in a very short period of time, and no matter how the officers shouted to stop it, the collapsed situation could not be recovered.

After the formation of the siege net, the first confrontation between the two armies ended with the defeat of the Enklan army. The artillery was also abandoned in place due to inconvenience to move ~www.mtlnovel.com~ intact and became the spoils of the pursuit of the imperial army.

…

“What a bunch of weak sheep.”

After reading the good news from the front line, Victor put the battle report on the table and sneered disdainfully at Warren beside him.

“In this way, even if the militias of the National Army have not received professional military training, I am afraid they can achieve a beautiful victory.” Warren echoed, and also expressed this naked disdain for the enemies surrounded by them.

“Do you want to persuade the encircled Enkelans to surrender again? No matter how weak our enemy is, once the battle breaks out, it will still cause losses to our soldiers.” A staff officer asked.

“Let’s persuade them to surrender again. Get rid of the more than 50,000 soldiers of the enemy’s first army as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights, and we have to launch a new attack on the enemy’s third army before they complete their new operational deployment.”

Victor and Warren looked at each other, and then Victor said.
