"It's dark night, it's really dark again, the discipline of these blue-clothed soldiers is too strong!"

Having already landed at the top of the city, Yuwen Yuanwu, who was dressed in military uniform, couldn't help but feel a headache when he looked at the torches rushing over the mountains and fields, as well as the dense sandbags that filled the river.

Although your own garrison artillery fired one after another, in the dark of night, even if there is torch lighting outside, it is difficult to get the same hit rate as in the daytime, and the difference between the two is not half a point!

However, few armies in this era choose to fight in the field, especially in siege!

On the one hand, it is because soldiers in this era generally suffer from night blindness because of the lack of food, and on the other hand, the visibility at night is too poor, and soldiers are prone to desertion.

Even in armies with a strong sense of honor, soldiers can run and get lost or fall behind in the attack......

Only the kind of army with very strong discipline and high self-discipline can ensure that there will be no large-scale fall and chaos on its own side in the night offensive.

Obviously, the Bluecoats did it all, and the attack at night saw little effect other than the fact that the muskets were not accurate during the day!

At least the morale of the Blue Coats is a mess!

The guns on the city wall were firing non-stop, and the blue-clothed army's river-filling team fell out of the moat layer by layer, and the river surface was filled with dense corpses of the blue-clothed army, and the number was rising exponentially!

The Blue Coats don't take their soldiers seriously at all......

No, to be precise, the Blue Coats don't even take the lives of their officers seriously!

Often the strength of a regiment goes up, and not a single person can retire alive!

In the eyes of the soldiers of the defenders of Reese, the Blue Coats are a bunch of outright madmen, even crazier than those fanatics!

Because of this, more and more people believe that the blue-clothed army commanded by Wang Ziming is not a real human at all, but a 'summon' of Wang Ziming.

Although there has not been such a large-scale human-like army summon in history, the career path is developed by humans themselves, perhaps Wang Ziming is the talented forerunner who has developed a set of his own summoner path?

As the power of the Blue Coats continues to be exposed, this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people up and down the city of Rees!

Witnessing the crazy momentum of the Blue Coat's attack, Yuwen Yuanwu completely figured out the gap between the two sides, if it weren't for the fact that Rees City had a moat more than ten meters wide and a tall diamond-shaped fortress-like city wall, the Blue Clothes Army only needed one charge to crush the city defense army!

This also explains why the 1st Infantry Division of Obaro, which has a strong sense of honor and is known as the most elite in the Obaro colony, was completely wiped out in one night despite having a firepower advantage......

Under the stacking of this crowd tactic, as long as the firepower intensity does not exceed the density of the crowd charge, it is impossible to achieve victory!

The Purple Dragon Federation's shrapnel is very strong, and every time it is guaranteed, hundreds of small marbles and other miscellaneous pieces are scattered in all directions, sweeping the people nearby, but the rate of fire of the artillery is destined to make it impossible for the shrapnel to form a fire blockade network......

Naturally, not to mention blocking the charge of the infantry of the French line.

In Yuwen Yuanwu's field of vision, many French line infantrymen who were shot and wounded even took the initiative to jump into the moat with sandbags!

In addition, there are pontoon bridges braving the rain of bullets and rushing to repair the moat at the same time.

The large number of troops allowed the French infantry to build pontoon bridges while filling in the river, so as to effectively disperse the firepower of the defending army.

Of course, the French line infantry besieging the city was not without resistance, and a group of French line infantry equipped with captured dragon rifles was in the rear, forming a row of gun arrays to fire volleys at the defenders on the city walls.

Regardless of whether it can hit people or not, just the rows of bullets fired past it are enough to weaken the defenders' firepower!

Due to the close range of the flintlock pistols and the high defense system of the city of Reese, only soldiers armed with dragon rifles were able to shoot the defenders of the city.

The attack of the French line infantry was carried out on three walls at the same time, and it reached a climax at the beginning, because the French line infantry was not repulsed, that is, one army rushed up and died on top of the back, so the defenders must always stay in the front line to resist the enemy!

Originally, the city defense of Rees City had only two infantry regiments and a garrison artillery regiment, but during the war, it used the reserve system to temporarily double its strength, and it was only more than 10,000 people.

Any more would have to recruit civilian mercenaries and civilians with guns......

However, even if the Yuwen family wants to do this, it is not something that can be done in a day and a half, in fact, it can gather the reserves of the city defense army in such a short time and send weapons to the city to face the battle, which has confirmed how efficient the Yuwen family is!

As for the private soldiers of the magnates in the city, they gathered together, and the weapons were all ready-made, but it was a pity that the Yuwen family had no right to transfer them.

Only a few elite privates who could not leave the stronghold of Reece City went to war.

These troops are enough to garrison the three walls of the city of Rees, but they can't withstand the non-stop attack of the French line infantry!

By the time the battle progressed in the middle of the night, all the artillery in the garrison of Reese City had been dumbed due to overheating of the barrels, and even several of them had been blown up!

Ordinary infantry also suffered heavy losses, and a large number of wounded were left idle in the streets and alleys, with no one to take care of them.

The limited number of medical staff is already busy with their feet on the ground, but the wounded soldiers on the front line seem to be endless!

At this time, all the reserves that the Yuwen family could call on had already been put up, and the small number of mercenaries who were temporarily summoned even took the initiative to flee because of the fierce fighting on the front line!

After most of the night's attack, the gunfire outside the city not only did not weaken, but became more intense!

The moat has been filled out with sandbags and dirt bags corpses to fill a path, in which the corpses turned out to be the main material!

The firepower of the defenders of Reece City is not blown out, plus the artillery close-range shotgun shells cover the French line infantry who fill the river layer by layer, and the casualties are all in 'hundreds'!

The French infantry's desperate attack method certainly put infinite pressure and casualties on the defenders of Reese, but at the same time, it also caused its own casualties to be incalculable!

Only Wang Ziming can see the number of French line infantry constantly beating and decreasing from his personal panel!

Of course, Wang Ziming, who saw this scene, could only feel happy, for every 10,000 more French line infantry killed, the probability of the army mutiniing due to insufficient rations would drop by one point!

If one division is gone, fill in two divisions, and if it is not enough, smash in 5 divisions!
