The cavalry company marched forward briskly, then turned into a jog.

As their speed increased, they left as fast as they could from the right side of the werewolf camp, stopping on a hill almost eight hundred meters away.

This was a provocation, and the werewolves quickly attacked in large numbers, but the cavalry turned and ran. In fact, the only cavalry company of the Civil Defense was limited, and Sean forbade them to make a decisive charge.

Although the werewolves ran fast, they were not real wolves after all, and they could not easily catch up, and once a small number of werewolves approached, the cavalry turned around and attacked these advancing werewolves with more strikes.

Worf looked at his subordinates, who were pinned down by this cavalry and scattered all over the field, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to gather around him. Because he sensed that the other party was just trying to drag him down, and then the main force would come over and fight him.

His conjecture was soon confirmed.

A red battle flag appeared on the southern horizon, followed by an army rolling in. Another cavalry of about 100 people in mixed clothes appeared behind him, echoing the cavalry just now.

Sean led 10 infantry companies, 1 artillery company, and 1 model company as a reserve arrived at the battlefield.

The empty and flat field is the best battlefield, and it is also the preset battlefield that Sean has been planning for a long time.

This battlefield is a battlefield for the Civil Defense Force, which can maximize the advantages of horizontal team tactics.

However, Worf did not give the CDF time to form and prepare, and while the CDF was still on hold, the werewolves immediately attacked.

For ordinary werewolves, there is no such thing as strict tactics, they worship individual force, and the only tactic is to pounce ferociously, whether the opponent is a wild boar or a human soldier.

The 1st Company, which served as the vanguard, was personally commanded by Chief of Staff Perosa, who bravely met it.

The Bess 1831 rifled gun, combined with a cone-nosed cylindrical bass bullet, can achieve accurate shooting at a distance of 350 meters from the target, and can also effectively kill the target by volley at a distance of 700 meters from the target. In cross-line tactics, accurate shooting is important, but salvo fire is even more important.

The werewolves ran extremely fast, but the soldiers of the 1st Company, under the command of Perosa, still fired four volleys, two shots each in the front and two horizontal formations.

Their performance had exceeded Sean's expectations, and he expected them to shoot at most once, because of the fact that werewolves could run far faster than humans.

In the smoke of gunfire, some werewolves fell, but more werewolves pounced through the smoke, and the soldiers of the 1st Company did not have a chance to fire a third shot, and they fell into hand-to-hand combat.

If it comes to one-on-one, they are hardly opponents of the werewolves. But when they lined up in tight lines and raised their bayonets, the werewolves had to pay a heavy price.

Wolf ordered the werewolves behind him to set off the grenade, and this time the tactic was used very well, and the 1st Company was severely damaged, and even Perosa was wounded.

At the same time, the cavalry company of the Civil Defense began to launch a counterattack, they raised their sabers, lined up in a tight formation, knee to knees, began to accelerate, and then passed by the right rear of the werewolves, distracting the werewolves.

On the other side, Arthur Young's motley army of militiamen and patrolmen from Vichy rode away from the edge of the battlefield, and these men were excellent marksmanship, firing free fire and inflicting casualties on the werewolves.

The sacrifice of the 1st Company bought Sean time.

He rode his horse and stood on a high place, and when he saw that the 2nd Company was ready, he immediately asked the division commander to issue an order for the 1st Company to retreat and get out of the way.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th companies were in the left rear of the 2nd Company, the 6th, 7th, and 8th companies in the right rear, and the 9th and 10th companies were directly behind.

"Commander, the artillery company is ready!" said Lieutenant Frank exclaimed.

As a liaison officer, he has been following Sean around, and he is very excited to see Sean's plan implemented step by step, almost exactly according to Sean's original plan, and whether it succeeds or not depends on the next 1 hour or even only half an hour.

The battery was newly formed and had 12 guns, six of which were cannons and the other six were howitzers, the former with a straight range and mainly used to fire solid shells, and the latter with a curved range and mainly used to fire blasting or shotgun.

The artillery company took advantage of the 1st company and the cavalry company to drag the werewolf and set up a gun emplacement in front.

By this time, the 1st Company had already retreated, and the 2nd Company took advantage of the gap they had left to launch a split fire. At the same time, Sean ordered the 5th and 8th companies to attack the werewolves sideways from the left and right, respectively.

"Ready, fire!" One of the six howitzers of the artillery battery opened fire first, this time with extreme accuracy, and the blasting shells rolled through the wolves with fuses before exploding.

The remaining 5 howitzers then opened fire.

Amid the roar of artillery, the werewolves kept falling, and they involuntarily moved closer to the middle. At this time, 6 cannons also opened fire at the same time, and 12-pound solid bullets ploughed through the werewolves, and flesh and blood could not stop the crystallization of human technology.

Arthur the werewolf roared, and with his companions, he galloped forward in the lead rain.

The 2nd Company abruptly moved out of the way, revealing the 3rd and 4th Companies and the 6th and 7th Companies.

In terms of horizontal team tactics, these are two sub-battalions, and the "battalion" is not a permanent organizational unit in the army in this era, but only a tactical unit, especially when it is necessary to strengthen firepower, the commander will combine the two companies and turn them into a sub-battalion.

The fire of four hundred men, firing in waves, kept Arthur's companions falling.

The undead werewolf fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

And the artillery is still roaring, and there are those annoying cavalry, constantly harassing and driving in the rear.

The werewolves tried their best to get close to their opponents' sidewalks, throwing the grenades in their hands, but they often fell before they could do so, and the bass rifle's long effective shooting range played a huge role, and the ignited grenades exploded among the werewolves.

The artillery, in particular, made the werewolves suffer, and every time the cannon roared, it made their hearts tremble. The cannon finally stopped, because the barrel had to be cooled.

Looking through the military codes of this era or the memoirs of the generals, the artillery regulations only stipulate the operation, maintenance and firing of individual artillery, but they rarely deal with how to maneuver in artillery companies.

Sean attached great importance to the construction and training of artillery, equipped each cannon and ammunition cart with enough horses, and even let all members of the artillery company have their own mounts to strengthen their mobility and enable them to keep up with the layout of the entire army, making the entire artillery company a veritable mounted artillery company.

When a cavalry artillery company marches, its movement and momentum are absolutely spectacular.

A group of werewolves took advantage of the artillery pause to cool down, and suddenly rushed towards the artillery position. The artillerymen, in order to achieve the maximum effect of the attack, were too close to the front line.

Seeing this, Sean immediately ordered the reserves around him to rush over, and he was in the position closest to the artillery.

It is a good habit of a commander to never gamble until the mountains and rivers are exhausted. In those tense and fierce battles, it is often a new force that changes the final outcome.

This reserve was the best performer in training and exercises, and the werewolves of the raid were left on flat ground two hundred meters away from the artillery position.

Wolf had to order his men to retreat.

Everything was within Sean's tactical design, although the coordination of the various companies in the formation change was still a bit slow and hectic.

"Order the cavalry, and Arthur Young, to save horsepower, you can stay a little away from the battlefield, but don't let every werewolf go!" Sean ordered. transmit

Commander Daniel immediately rode his horse to deliver the order.

"Commander, is it possible to advance on all fronts?" Wells asked at this time, in his opinion, the commander Sean had fought the battle extremely steadily - step by step, and the werewolves were almost cooperating the whole time.

Of course, he also knew that this was the result of careful planning and detailed deduction, and there were no surprises.

Don't fight unprepared battles, that's Sean's mantra.

"Werewolves aren't anything remarkable. Frank Road.

"No, lieutenant, if we don't have artillery and rifles, then we will only have to be slaughtered, and we will be able to maintain an undefeated situation with at least ten to one forces. This is the most direct manifestation of the role of natural science. "That's what civilization is all about." ”

However, Sean was only just freed from a tense mental state, and no one could be more nervous than him.

The black steed under his crotch seemed to sense the agitation of his master, and kept digging the grass with his hooves.

This was not only the Genoa Civil Guard's first battle in the true sense of the word, but also Sean's first battle as commander.

Seeing that the various companies under his command have changed from nervous and panicked at the beginning, to now calm and high-spirited, Sean is very satisfied.

"All, move forward!"

To the rhythmic beat of the drums, the Civil Defense Force moved forward as a whole, and they marched forward in a tight horizontal formation, with firm steps, and stepped on the beat of the drums.

Worf looked at the green grass from afar, and the sea of his opponent's dark blue uniform, almost black, rushed in, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

He knew that his people were limited in number, but this sense of powerlessness frightened him even more, and in less than twenty minutes, he had lost three hundred of his people, and only two hundred remained, all of them with fear on their faces.

"What should I do, King?" cried Arthur aloud. He tried to move forward every time, except for the beginning when he rushed into the cadet of the CDF, after which he never came close again.

"Withdraw!" Worf decided.

The werewolves withdrew.

The Civil Defence forces also picked up their pace, but they could not keep up with the fleeing werewolves, only the cavalry company and Arthur Young's ragtag army rode horses, constantly inflicting casualties on the werewolves, one left and one right.

Sean was also following behind the group, and the corpse of a werewolf on the ground suddenly jumped up, and he burst into flames with a huge axe and pounced on Sean.

With a bang, Nelson shot decisively in the small space between Daniel and Sean through Daniel, and the werewolf who was already injured fell to the ground, and then the guards who reacted shot one after another, shooting the werewolf's head to pieces.

Sean glanced back and continued to move forward, while his subordinates rushed to clean the passage in front of him, mending the corpse of each werewolf he encountered.

At this time, the military medical team arrived at the battlefield with the baggage company, and they began to build field hospitals to treat those soldiers who were unfortunately wounded.

"Where did the werewolves flee?" said Sean after half an hour, asking Arthur to send a cavalryman.

"As you wish, the werewolves are fleeing to the mouth of the River Nairn. The cavalry replied.

"Very well, let them drive the werewolves as much as possible towards the mouth of the Nain, even if they are werewolves, their physical strength is limited, and they can't give them time to breathe. Sean ordered.
