"However, aren't you afraid that the 50,000 Imperial Guards will be destroyed by the 30,000 British elite if they fail to reach their goal?" Qin Xue'er asked with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't there still 10,000 Young Guards? I believe that General Parkinson will handle this small probability of an event, as long as the Young Guards do not collapse, the Imperial Guard will have a backbone brother force to support, even if it is temporarily frustrated, it can be reorganized and continue to fight, I don't want to use the precious elite to fight against the British, after all, our real enemies are Austria and Prussia, and even the Russian Empire far away!

The only chance we have against the anti-French alliance is to use the inconsequential second-line troops to consume the enemy's elite troops, and then concentrate the precious forces of the Young Guards, and defeat the enemy's numerically superior ordinary regular army with a small price.

The gap between our absolute strength and the anti-French alliance is too great, and even if I have a total war system, I will probably be forced to fight a disadvantaged war, so I must reserve as many new forces of the Young Guards as possible, so that I can have more chips to play in the future decisive battle. ”

"Master, isn't the 30,000 young guards of the Sardinian coalition army a drain?"

Lin Haoda glanced at Qin Xue'er: "Don't forget, the 30,000 young guards are scattered in the French cities, carrying out gradual resistance battles, each French city has a large number of golden youths and French militia that have been temporarily formed, although the French civilians are dissatisfied with my rule, this does not mean that they are willing to be ruled by the Kingdom of Sardinia, at least under my hands, the French nation still exists on the surface, and they can still maintain the 'pride' of being French."

I don't need the French militia who have been temporarily pulled up to work hard, I just need to consume some of the enemy's forces when the army of Sardinia is pressing the border, don't you think that exchanging the lives of the French for the lives of the enemy soldiers is a worthless deal?

All I had to pay was a batch of old flintlock pistols that I had captured, and the role of the 30,000 Young Guards was to give the French militia and the golden youth the courage to fight against them, and I did not ask them to value the gains and losses of one city or one place, and the combat pressure of the Young Guards was quite small compared to the battles that took place in the direction of Cherbourg. ”

Qin Xue'er nodded thoughtfully, then her body trembled suddenly, and she couldn't help but let out a long groan in her seductive red lips, and glanced at Lin Haoda in shame: "What are you doing so hard all of a sudden, it hurts!" ”

Lin Haoda laughed lewdly, and did not explain, but pressed it again, and an intoxicating moan once again appeared under the light veil.

At the same time, on the battlefield of Cherbourg.

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang ~~~

Under the generous grenadier march, the British soldiers with gunpowder smoke on their faces suddenly fell in large pieces, and the British Redwoods and the Imperial Guard were like a turn-based game.

The reason why the Imperial Guard did not avalanche like the first line of battle is simple: the third line behind it has now become a death-symbolizing Overseer, and the front of it is covered with the corpses of Imperial Guard soldiers who fled the queue early!

Carlson didn't know the fact that Lin Haoda was using him and his troops as consumables, he just subconsciously thought that he would never allow his entire 50,000 men to be defeated by 30,000 Brits!

To be precise, the number of troops queuing up to be shot face to face with the Imperial Guard is not all 30,000 British soldiers, counting the British Redwoods who died in battle, there are only more than 10,000 British troops on the battlefield.

The second line of the Imperial Guard, under the elite guns of the British Redwoods Army on the opposite side and the friendly warlords of the third line behind them, struggled to maintain a horizontal line of guns, from the first neat volley, to free fire, and finally reduced to a chaotic retreat and shooting......

"Get on the bayonet! Charge!!! ”

Under the command knife waved forward by the officer, the elite of the British Redwood Army held high the rice-shaped flag planted all over the world, and rushed like a madman to the second line of the Imperial Guard, which had long been unable to maintain a neat queue.

Perhaps because Carlson gave the order to die, or because the third line was full of deserters, this time the second line of the Imperial Guard did not collapse at the touch of a button like the first line, but played with the British Redwoods with unscientific bayonets.

In fact, the performance of the second line of battle lines of the Imperial Guard has been somewhat unexpected by the British commander, in the eyes of this veteran British general who participated in the American Revolutionary War, if the original US Continental Army was on the other side, it would have collapsed on the whole line at this time!

The frontal field capability of the U.S. Continental Army has always been weak, and the independence of the United States is entirely dependent on the support of Louis XVI and the ruthlessness of the American gun-wielding mob who are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes......

"Order the artillery of the front, move to the second line of battle, and prepare to fire grapeshot!" General Carlson ordered with a slightly hideous expression.

The character of the generals produced by the total war system has inherited the consistent ruthlessness of this anti-human system......

"General, there are still more than 10,000 of our own people fighting there......"

The herald hesitated in surprise.

Firing at friendly troops, even in Lin Haoda's army, is rare.

"I repeat, immediately, immediately go and inform the artillery to adjust to the second line of battle and fire grapeshot!"

"Yes, General!" Under the murderous eyes of General Carlson, the herald finally retreated, after all, Carlson was not the only herald to use.

As General Carlson had expected, the Imperial Guard on the second line of battle did not last long before it was broken through, divided, surrounded, and slaughtered by the elite of the British Redwoods Army, which had high morale!

However, the period of resistance of the Imperial Guard on the second line of battle was enough for the nearby artillery positions to move the guns forward and adjust the muzzles to the effective range of the grapeshit.

Then there was the overwhelming grapegre spilling on the Imperial Guard of the second line of battle, which was being beaten, and the elite of the British Redwoods Army on the attack!

Tens of thousands of people who have me, I have you, were suddenly knocked down by layers of grape bombs, and the battle was far more tragic than the British commander imagined!

“Fuck！ Are all Lin Haoda's generals crazy?! There are tens of thousands of his own soldiers there! "The British commander, having seen the actions of the Imperial Guard, almost threw the monoculars to the ground.
