"Tyrant's lackey, return my wife's life!!" The red-eyed strong man, with tears still on his cheeks, held his axe high as if he was about to use all his strength, and did not hesitate to slash at the oncoming line infantry without hesitating his own defense. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, after all, this French man was just an ordinary farmer, he had not undergone formal training in fighting, and there were too many superfluous movements, even if he tried his best, he was one step later than the line infantry on the opposite side, and was stabbed into the soft abdomen by the other party with a blood-stained bayonet!

In melee combat on the battlefield, soldiers often stab their bayonets in the abdomen if they are not chasing down a remnant or are extremely confident in their melee combat abilities.

Although it is easier to cause fatal injuries when a bayonet is inserted into the chest, the bones of the chest are arranged very densely, and the dense human sternum in the chest cavity is easy to jam the bayonet that stabs into it, unless it is the kind of warrior who knows the structure of the human body extremely well and has a lot of experience in killing, in order to ensure that the soft flesh between the bones is accurately inserted in the chaotic environment of the battlefield, and the bayonet is quickly withdrawn and continues to fight!

Otherwise, even if the bayonet was dragged by the bones of the human body for a short time, the battlefield full of enemies would kill this soldier.

Therefore, in order to ensure that their weapons will not be stuck in the bones in the human body, most soldiers will choose to have a very easy to hit the abdominal spur of the human soft neck and even the target, everyone knows that the human abdominal cavity does not have many bones, and there is not much muscle tissue, and the tender fat will not cause any obstacles and additional physical exertion to the soldiers who draw the bayonet.

However, no matter how many benefits of stabbing the abdomen, it can't change a defect, the stomach is poked out of a hole, as long as the willpower of the injured person is strong enough, or the injured person is in a state of madness at that time, he can endure the pain of abdominal tearing in a short time!

For example, now, this French man, who is bent on avenging his wife, after being stabbed in the abdomen and taking a few steps back, grabbed the bayonet gun that penetrated deep into his belly, and then, under the frightened eyes of the line infantry who did not pull out the bayonet at the first time, the axe raised high fell heavily on the side face of the line infantry who was close at hand, directly shaving off most of his face!

Under the splattered blood, there were bare gums, and you can imagine how much strength this French farmer exerted.

Of course, with this powerful axe, the vengeful French farmer's strength also dissipated, and even if a hole so big in the abdomen could not be fatal on the spot, it was not a small injury, and the blood that continued to flow was enough to drag the French farmer into the hell of death.

If someone carefully examines the expression of this French farmer, it is not difficult to find that when he died, he did not have the fear and confusion that a normal person should have in the face of death, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved into a relieved smile, a pair of eyes were full of tenderness to look at the sky, and the open mouth seemed to be revealing the name of a loved one......

If a psychologist sees the expression of this corpse before death, they can deduce that the other party did not think about continuing to live before, and this is a pathetic person who has lost hope in life......

There was not only one such person at this time, these simple-minded French peasants, after being instigated to suffer the loss of their loved ones, burst out with a fighting power that shocked the line infantry!

They may not know what military discipline is, or they may be very clumsy in their methods of killing, but they have a heart of revenge, which ~ is enough!

Thousands of peasant armed forces with the belief of revenge and not tolerating their own lives used a similar fighting method to the same end, and in less than half an hour of bloody battle, they pressed back the initial momentum of the line infantry charging line, even though more than half of the thousands of people had been killed and wounded, but they still did not retreat, like beasts brandishing various weapons and rushing forward!

As a group of peasants who were bold enough picked up the weapons left on the ground and rejoined the battlefield, more and more peasant rebels who hated the slaughtering tactics of the French Foreign Legion followed the fewer and fewer avengers and killed the retreating Second Infantry Regiment!

The members of the Rural Committee who were mixed in the crowd also lost no time in shouting: "The enemy has begun to retreat, victory will be ours, brothers, charge with me and exterminate this gang of executioners who slaughtered your wife and children!" ”

The members of the Rural Committee took advantage of the anger of the peasant rebels at the slaughter of civilians by the French Foreign Legion, and the main force of the peasant rebels, whose morale was already on the verge of collapse, led by the few hundred remaining Avengers, rushed back to the camp of the 2nd Infantry Regiment!

A line infantryman who didn't know where his hat fell, ran to the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment who was in the center of the camp in embarrassment, and reported with a frightened face: "Sir, the soldiers are almost unbearable, let's retreat, retreat to the village, there are friendly troops there, we can still survive!" ”

The commander of the Second Infantry Regiment looked at the line infantry who instigated him to retreat with a somewhat hideous expression and said, "Which officer asked you to come back and ask for a retreat order?" I've pressed all the reserves up, and it won't be long before reinforcements will come in, how can we retreat at this time?! ”

Facing the question of the regiment commander, the line infantryman replied with a gloomy face: "My direct officers and the commanders of the front line facing the enemy have all died, I am just here to convey the thoughts of the soldiers, if we continue to fight, we will all die here!" ”

The commander of the Second Infantry Regiment looked at this signal soldier who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and scolded in his heart that these soldiers didn't know what loyalty and glory were, and without saying a word, he pulled out his command knife and shouted to the few guards behind him: "When all the people die, I will go to the front and stand up, even if the Second Infantry Regiment is wiped out, it will never take a step back!" ”

"Sir, you can't do this! You're taking your brothers to death, you really can't stand it...... Ah~~~"

The commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment put away the command knife that had slashed into the neck of this unmotivated line infantryman, and shouted to the guards around him with panicked faces: "He disturbed the morale of the army in public, and he should be executed on the spot!" Everyone will follow me to the front line to kill the enemy, the friendly camp is not far from us, as long as we hold on for a while, the victory will definitely belong to the French Foreign Legion! ”

Under the leadership of the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, those soldiers no longer had any reason to retreat, so they could only follow up, and only a small number of light infantry were still hiding in the rear and shooting 'black guns' far away because of the positioning of their own combat missions.

The reason why the light infantry did not come forward to fight was not because they were afraid of death, but because Lin Haoda felt that the price of light infantry was more than twice that of the line infantry, so he strictly ordered the light infantry to take preserving their own safety as the first task without receiving a clear order from Casio or Lin Haoda.

Light infantry can shoot from a hundred yards, and as long as they are not pursued by enemy cavalry, it is difficult to be dragged into close combat, saving themselves and killing and wounding the enemy, these two points do not conflict.

If Lin Haoda looked at the morale value of the Second Infantry Regiment at this time, he would find that the morale bar had fallen to the red part, and it was still slowly decreasing, and it was even more decorated with bright red fonts underneath - more than half of the casualties, a large number of officers were killed, and some troops were inferior, and the commander of the infantry regiment directly under him came to the front line to fight in person, which inspired the last fighting courage of the soldiers......

After the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment brandished his command knife and carried the flag of the 2nd Infantry Regiment to fight it, the crumbling defense line of the 2nd Infantry Regiment finally got a slight morale boost.

Unfortunately, at this time, the line infantry of the 2nd Infantry Regiment had already been mixed with the peasant rebel army with an absolute superiority in numbers, even if the avengers were almost dead, but the peasant rebel army that successfully saved morale had completely divided the small 2nd Infantry Regiment.

The commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment who rushed into the battlefield not only gave the demoralized soldiers a reason to continue fighting, but also how many soldiers could gather around him, and only a few guards were escorted by the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment......

The peasant rebels are not fools, how can they not know that the other party is a big fish when they see such a conspicuous place wearing dazzling officer clothes and also holding a military flag?

Soon after the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment arrived on the battlefield, hundreds of peasant rebels surrounded him with a howl!

The commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, who was only protected by dozens of people, was rushed close by the peasant rebels after only two volleys, and the military flags used by the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment to boost the morale of his own soldiers were like a group taunting buff, which could attract peasant rebel soldiers from around every minute!

In this way, after more than ten minutes of fighting, the military flag fell with a bang, and the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment and dozens of guards around him were all killed!

At the moment when the flag fell, the morale of the remnants of the 2nd Infantry Regiment changed directly from red to white, and in less than two seconds, even the white morale bar representing the collapse disappeared......

This means that the formation of the Second Infantry Regiment has been completely removed from the French Foreign Legion, and even if there are line infantry who are lucky enough to escape afterwards, they have been completely destroyed by this bloody battle, and they would rather live incognito as an ordinary civilian than join the army to fight again...... Naturally, it is impossible to return to the team to continue to serve Lin Haoda!

This is the limitation of ordinary line infantry, compared to elite troops, the ability of ordinary line infantry to withstand casualties is really not good.

Of course, if you compare with the regular armies of other European continental powers, the line infantry is not much worse, and can withstand more than half of the casualties without collapsing, and is definitely worthy of the title of regular army!

After losing the interception and resistance of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, the peasant rebels suddenly burst into cheers, and the peasant rebels, who had lost a lot of physical strength, swept towards the camp of the 2nd Infantry Regiment with high faces.

The poor discipline of the peasant rebel army is once again perfectly illustrated, and most of the peasant rebels passing by the camp of the 2nd Infantry Regiment did not continue to attack the villages not far away according to the orders conveyed in advance, but started the game of looting and burning tents on the spot......

It seemed that this was the only way to vent the inner joy of the soldiers of the peasant rebel army, who had just won a partial victory, and this disregard for the overall discipline of the peasant rebel army brought the offensive to a halt again.

The Rural Committee knew the 'preferences' of its own army, so it could only reluctantly rush into the crowd to stop their 'revelry', victory was still far away, and if it dragged down, the enemy's reinforcements would surround it!

What the Rural Committee didn't know was that a large number of reinforcements led by Casio had already arrived on the battlefield when the Peasant Rebels began to set fire to the camp of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, but the Peasant Rebels were on the offensive and completely ignored the vigilance of the surrounding environment, and coupled with the limited vision at night, it was not uncommon for them to be surrounded by professional line infantry......

Casio brought not only the line warrior infantry regiment directly under him, but also hundreds of main hussars, and the third infantry regiment on the other side!

With the exception of the 4th Infantry Regiment, which was still on its way to the farthest distance, the French Foreign Legion could be said to have begun to encircle the peasant rebel army that had set the entire camp of the 2nd Infantry Regiment on fire.

With Casio's order, a signal flare with a colored flame was shot into the night sky, this signal flare is different from the later generations, it is not fired with a gun, it is actually a large special firecracker, a bit like a monkey playing with children......

After the signal flare was fired, the line infantry of the peasant rebel army, which was lined up on both wings, rushed directly forward in a dense formation, and after approaching the peasant rebel army, they did not take time to regroup, just stood and fired at the frightened peasant rebel army!

The line infantry that rushed up with two wings adopted the free-fire mode of the fastest continuous fire output, and all the soldiers stood in an unstandard two-column horizontal formation, repeating the actions of firing, reloading, and aiming.

And few of the peasant rebels on the opposite side had muskets, and after rushing towards the enemy in a wave and being knocked down by a hail of bullets, hundreds of people were scattered!

After all, the French Foreign Legion attacked the two wings of the peasant rebel army, and most of the peasant rebel army were scattered in the tents of the 2nd Infantry Regiment and set fires, and they could not form a strong charge formation at all!

The peasant rebels on both wings, easily routed by muskets, once again brought panic into the friendly forces in the camp of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, and they found themselves surrounded in horror!

The people of the Rural Committee subconsciously wanted to escape from the breakout with the people backwards, but when they rushed out of the entrance of the 2nd Infantry Regiment camp that had been burned out, they were confronted by thousands of soldiers in blue uniforms lined up in a dense array of guns!
