Chapter 392: Let's Think of a Way (Three Watches!) )
ps: Moved today, released a little late.
The Holy Roman Empire's morning charge was a very heavy loss.
This charge lost at least three or four thousand troops.
Combined with yesterday's losses, this resulted in a tenth of the troops, which were wiped out by the enemy in two days.
Such war damage is really not insignificant on the European battlefield.
It's no wonder that Savarodi is in a bad mood.
It's not going to be easy for anyone.
On the other hand, on the side of the American Volunteer Army, in the battles yesterday and this morning, only dozens of genetic human soldiers were injured. And it's not a serious injury, it's just that it was injured by the opponent's bow and crossbow to an insignificant place.
After all, with so many people fighting, it is impossible to say that the American Volunteer Army wants zero casualties.
But even so, compared to the Holy Luo Empire's side, it can be said to be a 'miracle'.
"The enemy has retreated, but they neither go nor continue to attack, what is this to do?"
Juan of the Gurkhas, the deputy commander, looked at the military formation of the Holy Romans below the heights, and talked to the commander Nabas in some strange ways.
Nabha's shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but the devil knows what their plans are now. Anyway, let's go on, thinking that after the battle just now, their morale has fallen to the extreme, and they should not continue to attack again in the short term. ”
Juan nodded, and he felt the same.
After the enemy was defeated by his own side after the battle just now, it may be a little difficult to organize in a short period of time.
So, now they have a chance to rest.
"It was really a bit of a suspense just now, and I was almost attacked by them to the range of hand-to-hand combat, but fortunately, they were not strong in willpower and retreated. Otherwise, if we get into hand-to-hand combat, we will be really dangerous. After all, we're at a numerical disadvantage, aren't we? ”
Juan remembered what had just happened, and said to Nabas with trepidation.
Speaking of the situation just now, Nabas nodded in agreement.
Yes, it was very dangerous.
As long as the opponent continues to charge for another two minutes, then the situation of the battle will change.
At that time, Nabah's heart was also very depressed.
To say that he is not worried is simply not possible.
Don't look at their superiority in weapons, but there is no way to make up for their numerical inferiority.
As a commander, I know all this very well.
"We can't be so passive in defense, I think we have to be like a way, take the initiative to attack. Crush them in this area so that we can be in this area for a long time. There's no danger. ”
Nabha raised his hand and stroked his stubble and said to Juan.
Juan thought about it when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's a good idea to take the initiative to attack." However, I prefer to add an active sneak attack proposal to your statement. ”
Nabha laughed when he heard Juan's words.
"Actually, I plan to do the same, we are at a disadvantage in the hands of men, and there is no way to compare with the enemy. But if it were a sneak attack, it would definitely bring them more damage. And reduce such a disadvantage, isn't it. ”
"So, let's ...... at night"
Juan also smiled evilly, and then spoke to Nabas in a low voice.
And on a hill not far from the heights, a dozen people dressed in French musketeer costumes. He was sitting on horseback with a telescope in his hand, observing the situation here.
They were specially sent by Mary to observe the battle between the American Volunteer Army and the Holy Roman Empire.
After all, fighting the Spaniards on their own side, it was especially important for the American Volunteer Army to resist the Holy Roman Empire.
As long as the Volunteer Army of the Americas. If you can withstand the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, then you will be able to deal with the Spanish defenders with all your might.
At the same time, Mary also wanted to know the combat effectiveness of the American Volunteer Army. What the hell is it?
Although I have always heard that the Song Empire army in the Americas is very strong, I have only heard about it.
As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing.
Mary is also clear about this truth.
Although in her capacity, she can't come here to see it in person.
However, this did not prevent her from sending her own henchmen to find out the situation.
In this way, d'Artagnan received such a task, and took his men to the battlefield in the 'Donde' area to observe the battle between the American Volunteer Army and the Holy Roman Empire.
"The American Volunteer Army is very strong, and their use of firearms is very unexpected, and I can't imagine that muskets can be used in such a way, which is really eye-opening for me."
At this point, the battle was over.
D'Artagnan lowered his binoculars and muttered to himself in shock.
To be honest, he didn't really believe in what people said about how powerful the Army of the Song Empire was in the Americas.
After all, everyone is the same, and it will be exaggerated to some extent.
However, what he saw with his own eyes today, how could he not believe those rumors.
The American Volunteer Army, which was inferior in numbers, fought for two days against the legions of the Holy Roman Empire, which were several times their size.
If this was the French army, it is estimated that it would have retreated long ago.
However, instead of retreating, the American Volunteer Army inflicted heavy losses on the Holy Roman Empire.
And the way the muskets of the American Volunteers were used also shocked by d'Artagnan.
At d'Artagnan's side, there was a musketeer, drawing something incessantly.
He turned his head to take a look and found that the other party was drawing the military battle formation of the Song Empire in the Americas.
At the same time, he drew the offensive methods of the Holy Roman Empire at the time of the battle, as well as the defensive methods of the American Volunteer Army, counting this one has been drawn dozens of times.
"These paintings are going to be taken back to Queen Mary, and this tactic is really powerful, and although we also want to learn this tactic, we have no guidance after all. But with this kind of painting, we can. ”
d'Artagnan nodded, of course he knew it.
And this guy who wears a musketeer costume and looks like a musketeer is not a musketeer at all.
He was a painter by heart.
And let this painter follow them here. Marie asked the painter to draw the battle scene and prepare it for later reference for the French army.
Of course, the premise is that the army and tactics of the American Volunteer Army are really worth learning from.
But now the Volunteer Army of the Americas, through their strength, makes d'Artagnan no longer full of suspicion.
Yes, how can they not believe it now.
The corpses in front of the high ground not far away, and that are enough to tell the story.
With such a large-scale charge, he didn't even rush in front of people's positions, and there were still so many people.
The defeat of the Holy Roman Empire. Let d'Artagnan shake his head repeatedly.
However, he also imagined what it would be like if the musketeers were allowed to attack the troops of the American Volunteer Army.
In the end, it was concluded that it was probably not even comparable to the Holy Roman Empire.
Scouts from the Volunteer Army of the Americas spotted them, and then, after confirming their identities, brought d'Artagnan and the others to Commander Naba.
After introducing themselves to both sides, d'Artagnan and the others were left behind to observe the next battle against the Holy Roman Empire.
And the appearance of d'Artagnan and others also made Nabba discover that his grasp of the nearby situation was not very accurate, which was very fatal.
So. He immediately stepped up his reconnaissance of the surrounding area.
When the time comes, the Holy Roman Empire will take advantage of the loopholes, and it will not be easy to attack itself from behind.
Yes, Nabah's concerns are not unfounded.
After all, the Holy Roman Empire has a lot more troops than its own.
Even after two days of losses. The number of its troops still far exceeds its own by several times.
The other party can completely leave a large number of pairs to attract themselves, and then divide the troops and send a part of the troops to go around their rear to attack from both sides.
Such a situation is not impossible.
So, Nabas for the situation in the surrounding area. It must be understood and mastered in real time.
In this way, you can avoid falling into the disadvantageous situation of being caught between two sides.
At this time, d'Artagnan, who had brought his own people to the position of the American Volunteers, spoke: "I saw your battle through the binoculars just now. Although Zhilu said that you are fighting very fiercely here, after all, it is still too far away. Now before coming to the position, I realize how fierce the fight was just now. ”
It is not for nothing that d'Artagnan said this.
In front of the positions of the American Volunteers, there were densely packed corpses.
Although the Holy Roman Empire said that it lost three or four thousand people, this number does not sound like a lot.
But the corpses of these people are spread out, and there is also a large area.
And it's one thing to look through a telescope, it's another to look before you come to the position.
It's completely different.
Therefore, it is no wonder that d'Artagnan would make such an emotion.
"Do you think they'll attack later?"
d'Artagnan asked.
Nabas shook his head when he heard this, to be honest, he was not a roundworm in the enemy's stomach, how could he know the truth.
Unless he could command the opposing forces, he would not be able to assert the enemy's next move.
However, he still replied: "Just now they had great losses in the charge, and at the same time their morale was extremely low. I don't think it's very likely that they will continue to attack, but we should be careful. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”
Naba, a Somali genetic person, is quite a good learner in the tide of Mandarin learning in Quebec.
Isn't it, at least some Chinese sayings are known.
Although he didn't understand it very well, d'Artagnan understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Our highland is surrounded by forests on three sides and open land on one side. The enemy would be easy to deal with if they attacked from the front, and my fear was that the enemy would send troops back to our rear, which would be a bit of a problem. ”
Nabas told d'Artagnan what he feared.
Yes, the enemy was outnumbered, several times larger than the Volunteer Army of the Americas.
It is not very difficult for them to divide a little force.
At the same time, it can also use a large force to drag the American Volunteer Army here.
That's the benefit of numerical superiority.
On the other hand, it is impossible for the American Volunteer Army to divide its troops, because their strength is not very large, so there is no division of troops.
If the defense of the rear is divided at this time, it will make the already pitiful number of troops even more stretched.
Only the brain-dead would do that.
Nabas wasn't brain-dead, and neither was Juan.
So, none of them will give such an order.
After hearing Naba's words, d'Artagnan frowned slightly.
Yes, the American Volunteer Army has very few troops, and he knows this.
It is because of this that Mary is worried that there will be an accident here.
Unfortunately, all the military power that France could now use was invested in invading Spain itself. Therefore, France has no way to help this side.
In Mary's view, only by completely defeating the Spaniards could she send troops back to help.
But during this period, the Volunteer Army of the Americas had to withstand the attack of the Holy Roman Empire alone.
If the American Volunteer Army could not withstand it, then Mary would most likely have made an armistice with Spain.
It's definitely possible.
Anyway, now that France has taken advantage of the boss, there is nothing remarkable about stopping it.
As for what kind of blow the Portuguese rebels will suffer after the armistice with Spain, it has nothing to do with France.
And Spain could not continue to do anything to France.
After all, Spain still has a Dutch battlefield to deal with.
Therefore, for the French to take advantage, the Spaniards can only bow their heads and admit it.
In any case, France does not suffer.
That's what Mary had to do with both hands.
And all this depends on how well the American volunteers fight.
"It's a bit troublesome in the rear, so is there anything you can do to solve it?"
d'Artagnan asked.
Nabas and Juan looked at each other, and then Nabas said, "There is a solution, but it is a military secret." I'm sorry, but I can't tell you just yet. ”
For this kind of thing, d'Artagnan still understands it very well.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just an observer with the army."
D'Artagnan's acquaintance made Nabas and Juan very satisfied—
Dividing Line –
"Let's all think of a way, we can't go on like this. Now we still have an advantage in troops, which the enemy does not have. Although we lost the attack in the early stage, it doesn't mean that we will fail, and I think you should come up with a good solution to the current situation. ”
Behind the positions of the Holy Roman Empire, Savarodi convened a meeting of middle and high-ranking officers.
The morning attack, in addition to losses, also had a great impact on the morale of the soldiers.
Now they have to find a way to change this, or else the morale will be lost, and the battle will not be fought. (To be continued.) )
