098 Slaughter of the higher ranks against the lower ranks
After Wang Ziming saw this scene, he was once again refreshed the concept of 3rd level soldiers, they can really resist!
This is all attacked from three sides, and the morale value has not all turned red, even if they have suffered casualties far exceeding the enemy, those Polish Germanic musketeers and pikemen still resist as much as they can!
This kind of troops, put in the real world, are definitely the best of the best!
"In this comparison, although the maintenance cost and recruitment cost of low-level soldiers are very low, the gap between them and the third- and fourth-order troops is not only reflected in the individual combat power and equipment, but also in the morale value!
Judging from the fluctuations in the morale of the senior Swedish town militia just now, if it were a situation where the Swedish senior town militia was attacked from three sides, it is estimated that it would have been beaten out of the white bar......"
At the time of Wang Ziming's analysis, the cuirassier lancers were firmly entangled with the flesh and blood of the Polish Germanic pikemen, and the speed of the charge had almost stopped!
Naturally, the Polish Cossack cavalry, which had been in hot pursuit, smashed in, and the Polish Germanic pikemen attacked the Swedish cuirassiers with a perfect 'sandwich sandwich'.
The Swedish cuirassier, who had already lost more than half of the battle and all of his morale had turned yellow, suddenly all three squares were red!
However, the Swedish cuirassiers suffered casualties faster than their morale dropped, and the Swedish cuirassiers were killed before the three red squares turned into white bars......
Bang bang bang......
At this moment, a series of different sounds suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the Swedish pistols did not directly rush into the enemy group after seeing that the Swedish cuirassier was completely wiped out, but turned their horses abruptly around the head of the Cossack cavalry who were about to approach Poland, turned into a parallel formation with them, and pulled the trigger on the crowd with a high-quality pistol!
From the perspective of Wang Ziming, you will see that the Swedish pistols and the Polish armored Cossacks and Polish Germanic pikemen who have not had time to turn their horses' heads form a parallel line that cannot intersect, and then there are bursts of white smoke from the firecrackers!
The Swedish pistols fired from a distance of more than ten meters, and at this distance the Swedish pistols were almost able to shoot without missing a shot, and almost every musket roar would cause the Polish armored Cossack cavalry or Polish Germanic pikemen to fall!
The Polish armored Cossack cavalry, which was originally full of green checks because of the total annihilation of the Swedish cuirassiers, quickly turned yellow under this one-sided blow, and the Polish Germanic pikemen, whose morale was not high, had only two red checkered morale values left, and scattered deserters had begun to appear on the edge of the infantry phalanx!
The Polish armored Cossack cavalry, realizing that they would not be able to turn their horses' heads out of range of the Swedish pistols for a while, began to draw their bows and arrows on horseback and shoot at the Swedish pistols.
However, the Tatar bow with barbed armor-piercing arrows was good, but it could only smash a series of pleasant sounds on the Swedish pistolmen's tortoiseshells......
The armor of the Swedish pistols, which can protect even medium and long-range musket shots, can naturally bounce off these ordinary barbed armor-piercing arrows without pressure!
Unless the Polish armored Cossack cavalry could reach the level of a marksman and shoot an arrow into the gap between the plate links of the Swedish pistolmen, or through a hole in the eye socket......
It is clear that the main occupation of the Polish armored Cossack cavalry was on horses, not on bows and arrows......
In this way, the first wave of Swedish pistols fired a shot each and unilaterally slaughtered before disengaging from the enemy, and before the Polish armored Cossack cavalry completely turned their horses' heads, the second wave of Swedish pistols rushed over and raised their guns to shoot in the same way as the first wave!
Originally, there were not many Polish armored Cossack cavalry left, and after being rotated by two waves of Swedish pistols, they were directly slaughtered!
And the Swedish pistols did not enter the close combat, and there were no casualties!
In addition to this, the Polish Germanic pikemen on the flanks also suffered huge losses!
Fortunately, there was a reversal on the left flank of the Polish infantry phalanx.
When the Swedish pistols ravaged the right flank of the Polish infantry phalanx, Second Lieutenant Sigmund had already led two charging waves of Polish hussars and Polish volunteers to plunge into the flank of the Kohl army regardless of casualties!
The onslaught of dozens of Polish hussars played out the momentum of thousands of troops, and the Swedish pikemen on the first line were beaten out of the white stripes and crumbled in just ten minutes!
Immediately after that, the white stripe was completely emptied, and then the morale of the white stripe spread to the surrounding military formations as if it was contagious.
After the Polish hussars smashed through the military formation of Cole's troops, the Polish volunteers followed closely and began to expand the results of the battle and slaughter the infantry who had lost the cover of the formation, Cole's Swedish pikemen were killed and wounded, and one phalanx after another was broken, and the Polish hussars led by Second Lieutenant Sigmund soon entered the ranks of Swedish musketeers who were shooting at the flanks of the Polish infantry phalanx!
And, of course, another massacre......
The attacks of the Swedish pikemen were almost ineffective against the Polish hussars, and it was difficult for the Swedish musketeers to hit the Polish hussars who collided at high speed, even if the Polish hussars fell off their horses, they were also flexible heavy warriors, as long as they were not shot in the face by the muskets, no weapon could kill!
The Polish hussars and the Swedish pistols had similar armor performance, and they could defend against musket fire of this era at medium and long distances!
The subsequent Polish Volunteers made up for the scarcity of Polish hussars.
Wang Ziming looked at the Kohl troops, who were hundreds of people being beaten by dozens of Polish hussars, and understood why this Polish army dared to take the initiative to attack the 4,000-strong coalition army......
The speed at which the morale of the Swedish musketeers, who had not had time to turn around in formation, was shocked by the speed at which the morale of the Swedish musketeers dropped during the massacre, and the hundreds of troops under Cole's command collapsed in just half an hour!
Cole gave full play to the characteristics of the fleeing general, and fled back to the Swedish mercenary camp alone on a war horse without firing a single shot......
After defeating Cole's troops, Second Lieutenant Sigmund did not let go of those Cole troops whose morale value was white bars, and continued to send people to chase and kill them until all the teams with white morale points had no morale value and completely collapsed!
However, Ensign Sigmund's act of killing each other bought Wang Ziming's team precious time!
While the Polish hussars ravaged the Swedish musketeers and Swedish pikemen, the last two waves of Swedish pistols also visited the right flank of the Polish infantry phalanx, and then the first wave of Swedish pistols who had already been disrupted and whose morale was reduced to a red grid launched a saber charge against the Polish Germanic infantry phalanx, which had long been disrupted and had only one red checkered in morale!
ps: First three more, if you subscribe to the force, there will be updates in the evening.
