Beautiful Another World Red Tide

No one would go into General Rebio's mind. Everyone only knows that General Rebio's position and attitude are very firm, and that he is an old revolutionary comrade who agrees with his words and deeds, and that is enough.

But the Fafnir Legion is different. Mutual suspicion is the Achilles heel of an army, even if it is just a rumor.

"Have you heard that the leader of the legion has been shrinking because he is worried about the enemy's ambush?" An officer said disdainfully to his friend on the horse.

"Howard is a pure waste, it is ridiculous to ask him to be the commander of the army." Another officer also said very disdainfully.

"If it wasn't for the dissatisfaction of the various ministries, each other's dissatisfaction and the unwillingness to go out and do it alone, he would have been taken down a long time ago."

"What's the battle plan this time? Play field battles?"

"Basically, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Why not fight in the field? We are afraid that those rebels will choose to guard the town and fight in the streets."

"Even if the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, it is probably not easy to deal with. I heard that the opponent is using a dwarf firecracker, and its power is extraordinary."

"It's just rumors." Another officer dismissed it again.

"Things like dwarf firecrackers must be extremely expensive, how can they be installed in the entire army?"

By the way, that's all.

Although the number of First Revolutionary Soldiers was small, they were better equipped.During the reorganization, Sun Boyang had been planning to completely transform the First Army into a musket force, and realize complete adjustments from equipment to tactics.

With the continuous support of the original arsenal in the Central Province, although the flintlock guns in the later period were a little rough, the quantity still fulfilled the minimum requirements.

After complete reorganization, several commanders including Sherman Rebiot decided to completely change the combat method, and use more advanced combat plans to cooperate with this army.

When the two sides advanced along their respective front lines and arrived at the inconspicuous plain, the officers of the Fafnir Legion were still foolishly laughing, thinking that the chance of victory was already in hand.They sang through the night in their makeshift camp, as if the First Army were in their hands.

This optimism continued into the next morning.

......

The sound composed of trumpets, snare drums and other musical instruments spread forward, and a branch line of infantry moved forward, striding forward with strict steps.The artillery has been set up at the position of the central army, an artillery position has been organized at a slightly higher place, and the artillery shells have been tested forward.

The officers of the Fafnir Legion were still full of joy when they first saw that almost no one in the First Army was wearing armor, but when they saw all the members of the First Army fighting with muskets, the expressions on their faces changed again. Immediately pulled it down.

"It must be using wooden sticks to make up the numbers. I know very well that the army likes to engage in this kind of tricks to make up numbers."

One officer said frankly, wanting to boost morale, but the other officers also cast dissatisfied glances, after all, their army also has such "armor" or weapons that make up the number.

"Everyone, don't panic! General Derek, how is the situation of the other party you're investigating?" Captain Howard saw that everyone was a little scared, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Can't detect anything." General Derek shook his head and replied.

"The opponent's short gun cavalry has been organizing harassment, and my cavalry unit has not been able to detect useful information at all. In my opinion, we should let the griffin cavalry investigate again..."

"Investigation? It's all in front of the army, and you're talking about this?"

The general of the Griffin Cavalry is also very dissatisfied. This is already about to start a war. What's the use of investigating and not investigating?Their griffin cavalry only need to strike the ground.

"I said a few days ago that your griffin cavalry should investigate carefully, but you keep saying that the enemy may have dwarf muskets and may shoot the griffin. So you just kept shirking, isn't that the case?" General Derek felt that this guy was going to push the blame on himself, so he immediately asked angrily.

"How powerful are the blunderbuss cavalry? How could the cavalry fail to obtain useful information?" asked the commander of Howard's army with some disbelief.

General Derek just sneered and didn't give a positive answer.Why can't the cavalry troop go around to get more accurate information about the opponent and detect more news? Doesn't the commander of the Howard Army know?Although the various armies can cooperate in fighting big battles, once they are allocated to the specific situation, it will not work. Every army wants to be "lazy" and contribute less effort.Thinking of General Derek, he felt a little pessimistic again. He felt that more than 2 against [-] would be very difficult now. If the other party is really cheating...

Another bugle sounded, and the left line troops followed.

180 absolute suppression

"Where did another army come from?"

Commander Howard was taken aback. He picked up the binoculars and looked to his right. A new First Army troop slowly walked over there. stride forward.

If Howard hadn't been dazzled, this force would have at least 3000 people.What is the situation?Why does the opponent still have a reserve team of nearly 3000 people? ?

"What's going on here? How did you investigate?"

Howard asked the other officers angrily, even the softest people would be angry by this time.The enemy army suddenly changed from [-] to [-], and anyone would be outraged.This is a serious failure of the investigation system. If Howard is a tough army commander, the officers in charge of the investigation have already been pulled out and beheaded.

"Looking at the clothes, they should have been closely following the big troops." General Derek put down his binoculars and said solemnly.

"I didn't ask this. Now that the other party has 3000 more people, what do you think should be done?!" Howard asked with a raised voice.

"What are you asking me for? It's not that I haven't tried to scout. I sent cavalry to try to scout the flanks, but I didn't see anyone at all, and I couldn't go deep into the back to scout." General Derek said with some dissatisfaction.

"We have scouted every day, and we haven't seen any new troops." Seeing that Howard was about to lose his temper, the air cavalry chief quickly replied.

"You all said you didn't see it, so how did this army come here?" Howard asked helplessly, covering his face.

"Could it be that some magician helped them? Using fog magic to help them cover their tracks?" an officer asked suspiciously.

"That's at least what a great magician can do."

Howard stared at the troops in front of him, wondering how did these 3000 people escape?Could it be that they still teleport?

Teleportation is not possible, but things like camouflage are still useful.

There are a large number of elf magicians gathered in the Central South government. Although their magic level is not high, they are more than enough.Under Sun Boyang's call, a novel concealment method was used in the left army and the right army.The elf magician is responsible for the growth of vines and other plants, and then mobilizes the people behind to actively participate in the weaving, creating pieces that can be called simple camouflage uniforms.

The main body is composed of a rough net, and a large number of vines and leaves are woven on the net.During the day, they dug a shallow pit on the spot to hide, and ate the dry food they brought.It was only at night that the march was organized to catch up with the main force.This is how the right army and the left army lurked here smoothly all the way. During the process, no scouting force found them.

Now, the left army is ready to fight.

"Order the cavalry to prepare to attack and attack the opponent's main force." Commander Howard ordered.

"The main force? Which one is the main force?" An officer asked back.

"The opponent is full of firearms..."

The light infantry and armored infantry began to move forward with compact steps, and these infantry gathered around the pitifully small number of more than a thousand firearms troops.They are distributed around to protect the troops. After all, they really don't have many arms that can be used. Most of them are armored infantry and light infantry.

The magicians began to chant, and the Griffin Riders also waited in the air for an opportunity to search for targets.Only these two units can bring some sense of security to the infantry. Facing the artillery that is constantly testing and adjusting the angle in front, every light infantry is a little timid, and can't help feeling afraid.

In order to defend against the Griffon troops attacking from the air, the First Army also equipped some strong crossbows for defense.Just because of the limited number, they chose to disperse and hide, close to the artillery position, so as to accept the protection of the magicians together.

The griffin cavalry were also a little annoyed by the strong crossbows that were just for blocking. They also found that these strong crossbows had been protected by the magician troops and were not suitable for further strikes.But when they ascended to find the headquarters of the First Army, they fell into confusion again.

"Haha, damn it. This thing is very satisfying. Let the flies on it not find it!" A bold-faced regiment leader huddled on a small mound, wearing a Zhongnan brand camouflage uniform, laughing loudly at the committee next to him. Zheng said.

Yongdalim's white military uniform is indeed too conspicuous. This kind of military uniform doesn't even need to deliberately search for the target, as long as you take a look, you will know that there are people there.In order to protect the commanders who are more dangerous due to the lack of air force and air defense force, the commanders of the First Army mandated that, except for the front-line combatants, other commanders who do not directly go to the front line must wear this camouflage uniform. And the clothes must also be darker.

The commanders often complain about this unreasonable decision. Putting on the gray clothes and a layer of camouflage, they feel that they are three points shorter and they don't look like soldiers anymore.But at the beginning of today's decisive battle, when the commanders saw the griffins in the sky running around like headless chickens and couldn't find the bombing target, they suddenly became enlightened.

Besides, when you need to fight directly against the enemy, you still have to wear the white uniform.All they need to do is take off the gray clothes and trousers, and they will be refreshed again.

"Depending on them, why can't we find the officer?"

The captain of the Griffin Cavalry in the sky was also Zhang Er who couldn't figure it out. After turning around half a circle, he didn't see a decent place where the commander was, except that he saw a battalion-level officer preparing to touch down in front. Didn't see a few officers, is this too bizarre?Could it be that this is a remote command?

"Do you want to go back?" The captain thought again.

Below is a group of ordinary troops, let's blow it up, it's a waste of mana, and it seems a bit inappropriate not to blow it up.

"Take a few casual fights and get knocked down." The captain ordered his team with a crystal.

The griffins dispersed and began to project lightning towards the ground.Every strike of the lightning was the sacrifice of several First Army soldiers. The terrifying lightning did not frighten the soldiers. They still marched forward in a neat line.

"Sooner or later, when we have our own air force, we must show them a good look." Miguchi thought secretly while lying on the dirt slope.

"Give the order, the cavalry unit can be dispatched." Migaucci said to the trumpeter behind him.

The line infantry on the front line were still striding forward, swinging vigorously back and forth with one hand, and striding neatly with the firecracker in the other.The leading commander held the command saber in one hand and moved forward in the same way.It was hard for the light infantry of Fafnir's Legion to understand why these people stepped forward so heroically without armor?Are they not afraid of death?

The sonorous and powerful sound of military drums heated up the battle to the highest peak, and the light infantry and line infantry on both sides were already close to the distance of 500 meters.Accompanied by the clanging of the military drums, the First Army's steps became stronger and stronger, their postures became more and more upright, and they approached the enemy with fearlessness written all over their faces.

blah blah... blah blah... blah blah...

The magician's magic struck between rows of line infantry, and many line infantry fell without a word, unable to get up again.But none of them lagged behind, left, right, front, back, and everyone continued to move forward and continue to shorten the distance.

400 meters.....

300 meters...

200 meters...

"All!"

The commanders at the battalion level began to draw out their command knives and shouted. The soldiers behind them also changed from crossing their guns to holding their guns. Everyone moved forward slightly, holding the long firecrackers in both hands, and continued to fight. Walk forward with loud and loud steps.

The light infantry began to fear. They had never seen such a neat and fearless army, let alone such a strange way of fighting.How will the opponent fight?Do you know that the opponents are all soldiers holding firecrackers?

As soon as he was afraid, his pace couldn't help slowing down, and the morale of the army began to be chaotic.Not only soldiers, but even officers began to hesitate.

The pace of the line infantry stopped suddenly, and immediately the artillery fire fired again.The cannons let out an earth-shattering roar, throwing solid shells one after another towards the Fafnir Legion's legion.The artillery shells carried the anger of the artillerymen. I don't know how many infantrymen and horses were killed on the spot.

Smoke came out, and thick smoke billowed everywhere on the artillery positions.Howard feels that this battle should not be judged by convention.

"Vayle!"

Rows of line infantry fired their guns, their muskets emitted smoke, and fired sharp bullets to kill the infantry in front of them.At this time, the light infantry and the armored infantry were finally equal. Regardless of the difference in training, equipment, food and clothing, or status, they were all equal at this time.When the fire gun appeared, it was destined to mean that the armor would gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

Light infantry will struggle to fall, as will armored infantry.The armor on them didn't provide them with the slightest bit of protection. Instead, they subconsciously ignored some attacks because of their psychological self-confidence.The whole line was like this, from the center to the left, from one line of infantry to the other.On every battlefield, those armored infantry and light infantry suffered huge casualties.

The troops behind are still on the front line with a steady stream, pulling away the front line and expanding the shooting position.The archers are mixed in the team. Once they shoot in groups, they will be called by the artillery positions. Once they are scattered, they will not have enough effect.The only ones that still have an advantage are the more than 1000 line infantry in the middle. Only they can barely fight back and forth with the soldiers of the First Army.

But this is also where the casualties are the highest, and the generals had to fill in more armored infantry here to maintain the advantage of this area.These armored infantry and light infantry simply block bullets. They charge to attract the attack of the line infantry, and then give their own line infantry a chance to shoot.

"Remove the armored infantry and concentrate on using them!" Howard's nose was crooked in anger. In this case, the armored infantry is not as useful as the light infantry, and they are basically the same cannon fodder.

"If the heavy infantry is ready to go up, I don't believe their bullets can penetrate the armor of the heavy infantry!"

181 Generals do not know soldiers, soldiers do not know generals

Several officers belonging to the heavy infantry shrank their necks and did not dare to say anything, intending to try obediently.Only General Derek spoke at this time, and said something fair for the heavy infantry.

"I don't care much about infantry." General Derek put down his binoculars and shook his head.

"You see, the armored infantry were all equally easily knocked to the ground, and I don't think the heavy infantry could be of any further use."

"Then you mean not to use the heavy infantry?" Howard asked a little dissatisfied.

"It's not that I can't say it, but the heavy infantry should be reserved for critical moments." General Derek commanded without showing any weakness.

"Order the heavy infantry to stand by in three lines. Once the opponent's line infantry starts to charge, immediately deploy the heavy infantry to prepare for the counter-charge." General Derek ordered.

"As ordered!"

"As ordered!"

The two heavy infantry officers felt that it was better to be the old boss at this time, and this was a wise choice.When they saw the armored infantry dying in pieces, they had already guessed the same. After all, they have been fighting the tide of monsters all year round. They also know the armor situation. If the armored cavalry can't hold the opponent's firecracker , the heavy infantry will not end well, at most it will die slower.

"Tell the cavalry that it is time to charge. The cavalry advances from the right line (the left line of the [-]st Army) and engages the enemy cavalry. The heavy cavalry prepares to launch a group charge on the center and left lines, and prepares to tear the opponent's line. Infantry line." General Derek ordered while watching through a telescope.

"Don't replace the armored infantry, mix them with the light infantry. If you replace all the light infantry and only let the light infantry fight on the front line, the morale will collapse!" General Derek continued.

"Do it soon!" General Derek put down his binoculars and cursed at several generals.

"Yes!" Several generals hurriedly got on their horses to organize the front, leaving only some officers who had not received orders and Howard to stay where they were. The old man has already been demoted to the rank of general, and he still has to fight for power with himself...

"What's going on on the left line? Tell them to stand up!"

General Derek had already completely immersed himself in command, and he completely forgot that he was no longer the regiment commander, but just a line infantry general.

"The opponent has a capable person, and the tactics are quite good."

General Rebio put down his binoculars, and said to several commanders who were also lying beside him.

The moment General Derek took over the battle, the situation of the Fafnir Legion began to improve.The line infantry opened up enough lines and began to organize the troops to charge back several times but was pushed back by the opponent's heavy infantry.The archers in the other lines also fired in groups regardless of casualties, and the cavalry even entangled the already inferior cavalry on their own side, and dispatched heavy cavalry to start the assault.

The pistol cavalry were still fighting the opponent's light cavalry. These horseback shooters successively attacked the opponent's cavalry for several rounds and then were forced to retreat and hand over the cavalry battlefield to the armored cavalry.These armored cavalry, wearing breastplates and horse combat weapons, began to advance in a classic echelon formation.The light cavalry of the Fafnir Legion chose to form a line formation, and adopted this cavalry formation with a numerical advantage to completely annihilate the light cavalry of the First Army in one fell swoop.

The number has nearly doubled. Although the pistol cavalry killed and injured many cavalry, the number still has the upper hand after all. The artillery positions had to start to organize barrage support towards this side, so as to alleviate the pressure of the cavalry here. Crisis.

The most deadly thing is the heavy cavalry in front. Once these humanoid tanks charge, although they will suffer huge casualties, the disadvantage is destined to be the line infantry.If the heavy cavalry directly chooses to tear through the line of defense at the risk of casualties, then the line infantry on the front line will be ready to fight hand-to-hand with the follow-up light infantry and armored infantry.

"The artillery positions focus on shelling the enemy's heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and then deploy a reserve regiment to advance to the center line. It is necessary to block the enemy's heavy cavalry and attack the opponent's line infantry." General Rebio said with a frown.

"There is also a reserve regiment to support the cavalry."

"Ask the troops on the right line, how long will it take for them to enter the battlefield?"

The line infantry shot at the enemy's light cavalry, and those cavalry rushed towards this side with long spears, and fell to the ground again unable to stand up.Some light cavalry also broke into the infantry formation, their horses knocked several infantry into the air, and stabbed several infantry to death with their spears, then they changed into cavalry sabers and began to fight hand-to-hand with the line infantry.

Our pistol cavalry is still organizing assaults from time to time, and after approaching from time to time, it will fire a round of volleys, and then either withdraw from the battlefield, or pull out their sabers and go to the infantry array to support the line infantry brothers over there.

The situation is very good, the enemy's left line has been forced to start hand-to-hand combat, just wait until the frontal heavy cavalry successfully charges...

"General Derek!" Howard couldn't help shouting seeing General Derek in full swing.

"Huh?" General Derek asked suspiciously.

"You should go to command the line infantry on the front line." The commander of Howard's army said in a bad tone.
