Chapter 127 The end of the exercise
After the new order was issued, the battle on the ice was the first to break the deadlock.

The Lightning Ranger cavalry launched another attack and began to turn towards the lakeshore, preparing to attack again after gathering.

Bernd seized the opportunity and ordered the magician to remove the ice thorns in front of him. All the pea companies in front of them charged the cavalry with their bayonets. The other three pea companies followed behind. At the same time, the cherry company intercepted and shot forward to prevent the cavalry from speeding up. .

The lethality of the cavalry without speed was greatly reduced. The charging soldiers were composed of four people as the core. The purple mushroom gun in the hands of the group leader smashed the shield at close range, and the other three stabbed with bayonets from three directions.

The Lightning Ranger cavalry was quickly wiped out. Bernd did not stop the team, but ordered the whole regiment to quickly run in small steps and continue to charge towards the opponent's archer position.

On the other side, Jurgen was also dispatched. The cavalry did not go around to the rear, but suddenly rushed out of the mountain halfway, targeting the spearmen who were returning to defense.

The spearmen who were turning were not far from the archer's position. After being routed, the rout attacked the shooting archer, and Jurgen also killed them.

The long-range attack was reduced, and Heinz immediately gave Gade an order to concentrate on defending the top of the magic shield and let go of the sides to provide the soldiers with an offensive channel.

At this time, the ice-canned heavy infantry was less than 10 meters away from them.

The soldiers in the front row emptied the bullets in the magazines at the fastest speed, smashing the ice cans in the front into snowdrifts, and the formation of the spearmen behind them was chaotic.

There was no time to mount the bayonets, so the soldiers threw away the pea guns, took off the engineering shovels behind them and rushed up.

It’s just that the snowmen made by Psyche are all good hands, and the number of them is superior. Those soldiers who have been trained for less than a year can’t take advantage of it. Anxiety on the front line.

Frederick sent out a reserve team and let Franz Jr. lead the Jaeger Company to attack from the flank.

Shortly after Bernd and Jurgen wiped out the archers and magicians, turned around and surrounded the last spearmen.

The general situation was settled, Frederick jumped off his horse, moved his body, and took out a lollipop to hold in his mouth.

"How do you feel?" Old Franz asked with a smile.

He was also thinking about how to command if it was him, and found that he had nothing to do after the light cavalry suddenly appeared.

"I just want to have a good meal and sleep now," Frederick said. "I wish I could take a hot bath."

He just gave a few orders just now, but this is not a game. If there is a slight mistake, it will be a thousand miles away. He has to carefully consider all aspects in a short time, which consumes a lot of energy.

The drills are like this, so I dare not think about what will happen in the real fight.

He said to a messenger: "Go back and tell the barracks that dinner and bath water can be prepared."

When the army returned to the camp, they could smell the stew from afar.

If you want to eat, you have to take a shower first. The soldiers put away their weapons and equipment, took out their towels and queued up in front of the bathroom.

The bathroom was a big tent, with a row of cauldrons in front of it, into which hard-working magicians were throwing fireballs.

A bathroom can accommodate a row of people to take a bath at a time, and each person fetches a bucket of hot water into it, and there is a jar of soap paste in the place.

It only took 5 minutes from undressing to washing and dressing, and I took off my clothes, drenched my body, applied some soap, rinsed, and then dried and dressed.

After taking a shower, everyone lined up to eat. Each person had a bowl of bean stew, a bowl of fresh vegetable soup, and half a catty of steam bread.

It says on the menu that there are noodles with pickled cabbage and minced meat before going to bed.

Metzger ate the fat and thin stew, and said in his mouth at the same time: "It's so good to eat, maybe it's for us to replenish our strength and fight another game tomorrow."

the next morning...

"Metzger, why didn't you say yesterday that we had a good night's sleep today?"

Metzger quietly poured the shoveled soil in front of him, and then clapped it tightly, ignoring the eyes and complaints around him.

Today's subject is to build field fortifications. They have half an hour to dig foxholes, and when the time is up, thousands of troops will rush over.

This subject is not difficult, but the psychological pressure is extremely high, and no one wants to be trampled on the head by a big lump of ice.

This evening, I ate beef stew with sweet radish, added some grape vinegar, sweet and sour, very appetizing, and there were two extra boiled eggs.

Metzger was peeling the eggshell, and just said "I have eggs to eat today", when Bobo on the other side yelled viciously: "Don't talk while eating!"

"Okay," Metzger said before eating his eggs, "I think everyone can stay put tomorrow."

After speaking, he heard everyone around him breathe a sigh of relief.

However, more than ten hours later, countless resentful eyes focused on him.

The subject of the third day is ambush. Everyone lurks in the snow in the morning, and in the afternoon there will be enemies passing by the road below the mountain.

In order to avoid unnecessary attrition, everyone was given a leather blanket to put in the winter sleeping bag, and a warm baby.

This kind of warm baby has a combustion chamber in the middle and a water-filled interlayer on the outside. Charcoal is placed inside to heat the surrounding water, which can be heated for several hours.

With this set of equipment, even if it is surrounded by white snow, it is still very warm in the sleeping bag.

It's just that more than a dozen people were sentenced to death because they were asleep and snoring, and some people woke up only after the fight started, so that the firepower was insufficient in the early stage.

The dinner that day was stewed elbow with sauerkraut. Everyone ate the elbow, and Metzger was too busy eating.

When everyone thought dinner was over, Metzger suddenly said: "I think we can go back soon."

The long dining table was filled with laughter. Many people had heard about the crow's mouth. Now that he said he could go back to the camp, maybe he would really go back after breakfast tomorrow.

However, no one noticed what he said "soon".

In the early hours of the morning, the whistle for emergency assembly blew. Tonight's subject is the last one of this exercise, a night march in the mountains, and the target barracks.

Everyone took out the night running lights and installed them on the helmets, followed the road signs and walked into the mountains.

Frederick was also in the team, and he said to little Franz next to him: "The latest news is that the neighbors will recruit the militia during the slack season after the spring plowing and before the summer harvest, and the day of the war will be at that time."

"During this period of time, you should sum up your experience, carry out targeted training, do a good job in education, and prepare for the next war."

"I judge that there will be four enemy forces attacking us at the same time, and the strongest is Earl Ansbach's side. Therefore, the city of Hansen in front of us must rely on the city defense army and militia to hold them back, and the main force will destroy the other three directions. destroy the enemy and then destroy them."

"You have to make a plan, let all the places do the logistics work, and don't be in a hurry when the time comes."

"Since the guests are here, please stay. This time we will fight a battle of annihilation and defense, and strive to eliminate the enemy's resistance in the first battle. Our goal is to expand the territory."

Soldiers these days are all workers. As long as the boss is killed and the new boss doesn't do anything, they will run away immediately.

This time everyone was tearing their skins apart, and Frederick didn't talk about martial arts. He first eliminated the enemy's leader physically, and then swallowed the land. After the fait accompli was established, he was not afraid of bringing the lawsuit before the Pope.
