179 siege queues

A sea of blue poured out of the mountains, and between each siege tower were large groups of French line infantry lined up to shoot at each siege tower, following the officers, bayonets upwards and marching with their heads held high.

Each company was playing solemn military music and drums, and the leading line infantry junior officers commanded the knife in front, looked ahead, followed the drum to move forward, and from time to time looked at the companies on both sides with the corner of their eyes, pressing the teams behind, and maintaining the same forward speed with other companies.

The ordinary French line infantry looked ahead, looked at the officers leading the line in front, listened to the beat of the drums, and kept their steps in harmony with their comrades on the right and in front of them, while maintaining the level of the entire horizontal row.

The entire advancing company was like a military parade, stepping forward in unison, the only difference was that there was no positive step with high legs......

Well, it's too tiring to step forward, and it's obviously not suitable to step out on the battlefield!

This meaningless physical exertion is a waste of physical strength for soldiers who are about to go to the front line for bloody battles!

After all, the French Line infantry is not a guard of honor, but a fighting soldier!

The honor guard is certainly beautiful, but when it comes to the battlefield, everything must be close to practicality.

The French line infantry walked the queue so neatly, not for the sake of good looks, but to keep the queue tight, if the footsteps were inconsistent, how embarrassing would it be to step on the boots of the soldiers in front and behind during the advance?

If you trip the soldier next to you, it will be interesting, and military justice will definitely be inevitable!

The infantry of the French Line on the left and right will provide fire cover, and the infantry of the French Line will provide fire cover, and the infantry of the French Line will be close to the siege tower, and after falling the baffle, they will climb up from the ladder behind them, and continue to step on the siege tower to climb the enemy wall!

Each siege tower was a battle platform, and behind the upper baffle, there were nearly a hundred French line infantrymen, standing in rows of guns, just waiting for the moment the baffle fell!

Count Badajoz stood at the highest point of the castle and looked around, but he couldn't see the end of the blue sea.

He couldn't help but wonder, where did the federal army get so many soldiers?

Shouldn't crowd tactics be what your side is best at?

Shouldn't the Federation army be best equipped with all kinds of high-powered artillery and long-range muskets?

Now there is not a single artillery cannon in sight on the position of the 'Federal Army' on the opposite side, all of them are musketeers, and the number of them completely shatters the common sense of Count Badajoth.

He had never seen more than a fraction of the Federation army outside the city this time than he had seen in his life!

Such a large human army with no end in sight, even without the assistance of artillery, made Count Badajoth feel terrified from the bottom of his heart!

But soon Count Badajoth left this fear behind, and the followers of the Chaos God would never fear death, let alone battle!

Death is not the end, if you die fighting for the Chaos God, you will eventually return to the dark Chaos Abyss, which is the holy place that their group of Chaos Humans yearn for all their lives!

Well, at least that's what the Chaos Gods believe in the Apocalypse......

Unlike the various truth, goodness, beauty, and positive energy beliefs propagated by the local churches of the Purple Dragon Federation, and entering all kinds of heavens after death and enjoying 18 virgins serving eternal life, all of the chaotic humans expect that they can enter the eternal chaos abyss after death, and then obtain an immortal body, and fight for the chaos gods for eternity......

Chaos humans are really not creatures with normal brains!

However, only this kind of chaotic human with abnormal brains can perfectly control demonic creatures with abnormal brains to fight......

The reason why the First Infantry Army of the French Front did not carry artillery to attack the city was, of course, ......

There are no field artillery at all!

When Wang Ziming captured the colonial area of Reece City, all the artillery had regular troops, and they were so stubborn that they had to destroy the artillery before they died, but in the end, Wang Ziming did not get a field gun or even a small-caliber mortar except for a batch of permanent fortress guns of the city defense system of Rees City!

Although the fortress cannon can be disassembled and used, it is difficult to transport, and it is simply not practical to use it for an expedition against the Kingdom of Andalusia!

Unless it is installed on a steam ship, of course, this can only be thought about, Wang Ziming does not have a ship now......

As for building artillery, Wang Ziming gave this order, and the only arsenal in Rees City that was originally only responsible for repairing artillery also began to be rebuilt, but this arsenal could only be built on a small scale, and the artillery could only be repaired.

This is something that Wang Ziming can only do after he looted the entire Rees City Colonial District!

And even if you can cast a cannon, it will be an ordinary field smoothbore that has long been outdated, and it is no problem to have solid projectiles and shotguns, but it is impossible to fire grenades.

The technology of howitzers has been blocked by the Purple Dragon Federation, which is a big killing weapon that can only be equipped by the regular army, and naturally it will not spread to the Obaro colonial area, which is thousands of miles away.

If there is a howitzer sample, maybe those federal craftsmen can still imitate it with some time and effort, but now Wang Ziming has no samples, only a barrel like scrap metal that has been completely blown up......

But who says you can't fight without artillery?

The Union army relied on artillery because they had few soldiers and soldiers were afraid of death.

Wang Ziming's French line infantry has more than one million people, and they are all fearless of death, and the combat effectiveness that erupts is definitely much stronger than that of the regular federal army equipped with artillery!

Isn't Botu City so honest because he doesn't have the slightest certainty that he can defeat Wang Ziming on land?

An army of more than one million, even if it is placed on the territory of the Federation, is a terrible military force, and on the side of the Obaro continent, it can completely crush all the colonies of the Federation.

The premise is that sufficient logistical food, grass and ammunition can be guaranteed......

Supplying more than one million troops for an expedition is not a simple matter, don't you see that Wang Ziming is still worried about filling the belly of the French line infantry?

For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the French line infantry as cannon fodder!

However, Count Badajoth, who was looking far away, did not know that the blue-clad soldiers on the other side were not afraid of death, and he only regarded them as ordinary Union troops, and even suspected that those were armed civilians of the Federation in disguise.

Because Count Badajos really couldn't figure out how the Federalists could mobilize so many troops from the colonies, Count Badajos was not an uninformed bun, knowing that the Federalists' homeland was thousands of miles away from the Iliban Peninsula!
