Chapter 125
Daily shooting and shooting when the enemy is rushing towards you are two different things. When you are nervous and your head is confused, you can't do many seemingly ordinary things well.

At this time, the Alsaces started to move, but many cherry bombs fell behind because the shooters were nervous and did not calculate the advance, blasting out balls of gypsum powder dyed red.

The cavalry began to trot, and the snow-white earth roared like thunder, like a wooden hammer hitting a drum heavily, and it also hit everyone's hearts.

A new round of cherry grenades fell, half this time among the cavalry, and everyone was excited to find that there were fewer enemies.

The magic array of projection magic is installed on the cavalry armor and horse armor. It is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. Each of the surface layers is the size of a fingernail. After being broken, the corresponding projection will make a falling action and then disappear. to determine the effect of the attack.

Metzger and others were lying on the snow, while the soldiers in the two rows behind were squatting and standing respectively. As the whistle sounded, the pea guns fired one after another.

The bodies of many "Alsaces" were hit, and the projections instantly became thinner.

When these cavalry began to charge 90 meters away, the number dropped to half.

The magicians on the company quickly cast spells, and rock thorns one meter high appeared three to ten meters in front of the front line.

The cavalry stopped before the rock spurs, then ran sideways holding the exit flag.

Frederick sighed in his heart. Although Richard Nall proposed a new tactic of using trenches, the original phalanx tactic was too popular, and the actual commanding officers preferred the old method.

Then they suffer.

Behind the Alsaces followed more than 30 carriages, each of which was equipped with tin buckets as big as water tanks.

They used the cover of cavalry to come to a place tens of meters away from the front line, put these tin buckets on the ground with something elevated, ignited the fuse, and ran away.

After the black powder exploded, small sandbags were sprayed into the sky one by one, and then these sandbag goddesses fell into the formation like scattered flowers.

The sackcloth used to make sandbags is thin and thin, with fine sand and red mud powder inside, and there will be a mark where it is hit.

Popona's face under the gas mask was a bit dark, and his purple mushroom gun only fired two shots, and now he was hit by a sandbag on his helmet, and was declared dead by the referee team.

Little Franz's face was even darker, the formation was too dense, and the magician didn't have time to cast the shield, so he lost more than [-]% of his troops, including a regiment leader.

"The temporarily added subjects worked well." Richard Nall said to Frederick with a smile: "It's good to have a lesson."

Frederick nodded. The exercise was to find a lesson. If the formation was not too dense and the magician's defense could not keep up, there would not be so many casualties. This is a lesson.

At this time, the sound of bugles came from the foot of the mountain, and everyone took off their gas masks, rested in place, and had lunch.

The soldiers spread out according to the formation, and put the tarpaulin-wrapped luggage behind them on the snow, and people sat on it.

"It's disgusting!" Metzger said while eating a marching biscuit, "It was never said that things would fall from the sky!"

He was full of resentment at the moment, the sandbag hit him quite painfully, just now he got two on the forehead.

The leader of their platoon was right behind him. After hearing this, he turned his head and said, "When you go to the pigsty to pick pigs, will you let them know that they will be stabbed with a knife later?"

"When fighting, the enemy will not tell you what to do next. We have encountered so many situations along the way, can't you see the style of those guys in the referee team?"

"In the past, when I was fighting, I caught dozens of poisonous snakes and put them in baskets. I built a simple trebuchet in the woods and threw them into the camp below the mountain. The mountain guy didn't sleep well all night."

"So now you have to hurry up to eat, hurry up to rest, maybe you will gather urgently at any time."

Metzger felt that the referee team could do something like let people only eat half of the meal, and immediately accelerated the speed of eating biscuits.

This kind of marching biscuit is dry and hard, a little salty, a little oily, a little bit of milk, egg and sage, and if you are lucky, there will be a little more crushed nuts. It is not very delicious but it is very hungry.

They turned on the water and put tea in the kettle. The tea is still a little warm, and it's just right for a sip of biscuits and a sip of tea.

Not long after, the commander issued an order to count the ammunition, and told him to replenish the ammunition in the magazine on his body, and he would have a big fight in the afternoon.

Metzger took out the bullets from the luggage bag, and while pressing them into the magazine, he said to the comrades around him, "What are we going to do in the afternoon? In the morning we are shooting shadows, but we will be shooting snowmen later."

after an hour……

"Metzger, why didn't you just say that we will eat roast pig later?"

500 meters away, countless snow accumulations were swept together by the strong wind, and an army formation gradually took shape.

The number of spearmen in the front rows is estimated to be [-], and there are about [-] heavy infantry behind, and the archers and magicians behind cannot be seen.

The most important thing is the flanks. There are five hundred ice-canned heavy cavalry on each side, and the total number is almost five times that of our own cavalry.

For some reason, Richard Nall invited Psyche, and she led the students of Wessenburg University to create this ice and snow troop of nearly ten thousand people.

And Richard Nall has gone there, and this force is under his command.

Little Franz saw that there were many enemies, so he immediately gave the order to change the formation, planning to form four battalions into a large hollow phalanx to resist the opponent's attack, and counterattack after the enemy's strength was exhausted.

"Let me direct." Frederick came down from the mountain.

Little Franz's face changed a few times in an instant. Commanding the army is no joke, but Frederick is the supreme commander of the army, and he can't help it if he insists.

Before he could find an excuse to refuse, the old Franz who was sitting here to give advice gave his son a slap in the face, and the young Franz immediately understood that it was an exercise anyway, letting the master know that commanding the army is not so simple but also a major achievement.

Frederick directly ordered at this time: "Order Bernd, the whole regiment puts on ice spikes, inserts them from the lake to the rear of the enemy's side, and concentrates the cherry guns to guard against the cavalry."

"Order Heinz, deploy the whole regiment, attack and move forward, be sure to stick to the enemy."

"Order Jurgen to protect Heinz's left wing, and he can deal with the heavy cavalry in front of him according to the situation."

"Order Gade, the magician will follow Heinz and be under his command."

Frederick only gave the goals to be achieved by each department, and how to do it in the process depends entirely on the commander of the army to figure out his own way.

He originally wanted Franz Jr. to take two companies of Jagers from the nearby mountain to the enemy's rear, but in this way there would be no reserve team, so he had to give up in the end.

The orderly quickly conveyed Frederick's order through the sound of trumpets, flags and verbal notifications.
