357 The British fought desperately

With a large number of grapeshits, the last bit of resistance of the Imperial Guard on the second line of battle has completely disappeared, and the morale of these Imperial Guards has been devastated, and even if they can win after the battle, General Carlson can no longer use them as field soldiers......

However, in the eyes of General Carlson, victory is far more important than the 10,000 crippled Imperial Guards!

The all-out war system constantly instilled in Lin Haoda the concept that victory is everything, and the generals who naturally came out of the all-out war system would also be implanted with the concept of doing whatever it took to win.

Lao Maozi in history can be called the European military police, but not relying on its own industrial strength, but with thousands of endless gray cattle to press out of the record, even if the mainstream European countries at that time muskets and artillery are far more advanced than Lao Maozi, and the industrial production capacity is also higher than Lao Maozi, but in the face of the crowds of gray cattle shouting Ula charge, it will also feel a very headache......

In modern history, the rise of Prussia is based on the advanced mobilization system and a sense of glory, the rampant of Great Britain is based on the primitive capital plundered by the colonies and the leader of the first industrial revolution, the hegemony established, the Habsburg Dynasty is the use of thousands of years of political marriage to form a huge power in Europe, the French are relying on the Sun King and Napoleon to become a powerful country, so the main factor that Lao Maozi relies on is the 'gray cattle'.

Even though the Imperial Guard, which was fighting against the elite of the British Redwoods, had completely collapsed, the large number of Imperial Guards had greatly hindered the route of the elite breakthrough of the British Redwoods.

Under such a fierce artillery bombardment, the elite of the British Redwoods Army could not bear such a tragic price for a long time, and finally had no choice but to retreat.

Because General Carlson brought hundreds of large and small artillery bombardments, the elite of the British Redwoods Army could not maintain a formation and retreat at all.

At this moment, General Carlson gave the order for an all-army assault!

The Imperial Guard, which had already stopped, launched a bayonet charge directly against the elite of the retreating British Redwood Army, and at the same time, General Carlson divided all the reserves of the Imperial Guard into two ways and pressed up from the two wings.

The British commander on the opposite side was forced to send a large number of reserves to defend the two flanks, weakening the British army's fresh force to assist the rout in the center.

General Carlson intends to crush the elite center front of the British Redwoods Army in one fell swoop and put an end to this field battle once and for all!

General Carlson killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 indiscriminate artillery bombardments in one move, regaining the advantage of the battlefield to his side, after knowing that his own side lined up to shoot and could not face the British elite head-on, he simply let his troops abandon the formation of the guns, and the Imperial Guard in the center followed the British Redwoods Army to force the opponent into the bayonet hand-to-hand combat stage.

"I don't believe that after falling into close combat, our two-fold superiority in strength can't defeat you British!" General Carlson said in a cold tone.

"General, the general offensive has been launched, do you want the Young Guards who rule General Parkinson's side to cooperate in the attack?"

The adjutant next to him asked.

The area of the battlefield spread out by tens of thousands of people is very huge, and it is normal for the two wings of the main force to be more than ten miles apart from the middle route army, and the flank troops can be called the flank troops, mainly used to prevent the main force from being surrounded, which is also the common sense of marching in wartime, with the development of weapons, the scale of this flank army will become larger and larger, and the distance from the middle route army will become farther and farther, after all, after the development of science and technology, the movement speed of the means of transportation has also been greatly accelerated, and the issuance of orders has become more convenient.

Therefore, the main forces of the middle lane were mainly engaged in the fighting, and the few troops placed on the edge were not used.

"No need, opposite the Young Guards is the most elite British King's German Legion in the British army, according to the intelligence, those Germans are fighting harder than the British, just let the Young Guards contain them, and after defeating the British in the middle, those German mercenaries who gave their lives to the British King will naturally lose themselves without a fight."

General Carlson replied.

Before the era of mechanized warfare, the victory or defeat of the Central Route Army basically determined the direction of the entire battle situation, which is not to say that the Central Route Army has the most troops and is the most important, but because the position of the Central Route Army is in the middle of the entire front line, if it is broken through or even defeated, the enemy can easily surround the two wings, and the two sides and even the three sides of the large army arranged on the flanks, no army can still achieve victory in the face of multiple attacks!

In the history of warfare, if you are surrounded, if you don't have reinforcements, it basically means defeat, unless you are surrounded by a group of robots who are not afraid of death......

The situation on the battlefield was as General Carlson had predicted, and in order to block the large number of Imperial Guard reserves rushing out from both sides, the British commander had to transfer his reserves to the two sides of the middle battlefield, and could only rely on the original small number of troops to stabilize the rout in the middle.

It's not that the British commander is willing to do this, but that he has to do it under the general trend, otherwise he is likely to be semi-surrounded by the Imperial Guard, and at that time, the Imperial Guard will surround the British troops and line up to be shot!

The charging more than 10,000 Imperial Guards of the third battle line firmly stuck to the elite of the British Redwoods Army that was routed by artillery fire, and the British Redwoods were forced to let the bayonet charging middle Imperial Guard not pay any casualties, and played hand-to-hand combat in close quarters in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own soldiers.

The elite of the British Redwoods is not the Imperial Guard, and if the British commander orders a large-scale massacre of the fleeing friendly troops, it will greatly damage their morale and easily cause a mutiny!

This is not a few or even dozens of people injured by mistake, but the elite of the British Redwoods Army who retreated is as many as thousands!

It was precisely because of this that the British commander-in-chief felt that the general of Lin Haoda on the opposite side was completely crazy, and at the same time, he felt that the troops on the opposite side did not waver in the slaughter of their own friendly troops, and felt surprised and horrified.

In this way, the Imperial Guard, after paying huge casualties, dragged the elite of the British Redwoods Army into melee bayonet hand-to-hand combat with a battle loss ratio.

Perhaps the Imperial Guard soldiers' bayonet hand-to-hand combat skills would be worse than the elite of the British Redwood Army, but it was still no problem for two people to fight one person, which was what General Carlson wanted to see the most, and after seeing the scene of the British walking towards the guns and firing a salvo at close range, he had put away all his previous pride.
