Chapter 291. Further campaign objectives

Why can the modern troops easily crush the feudal troops?

Historical cases show that even if the feudal forces had absolute numerical superiority, it was extremely unlikely that they would be able to defeat the modern troops that were inferior in numbers, and in fact there were very few such examples in the real history of warfare.

Most of the examples that have occurred have taken advantage of factors such as terrain, weather, and disease.

Moreover, before the collapse of the front, the modern troops will inflict casualties equal to their own losses on the enemy, and the enemy army can only defeat them after paying most of the heavy price.

Now, the standardized modern infantry that Li Weina has prepared has also been ready for battle, but the army size of 1,000 people, in the face of the tide of 35,000 skeletons, did not show any fear, but there was a bright light in his eyes.

It was a battle destined to go down in history, in the true sense of the word, the Spanish Empire's conquest of this unknown and evil world.

What's more, the piles of skeletons in front of them had already been wiped out by nearly half, and the remaining half could easily destroy them even if they were in their usual training state.

This is the morale bonus of the Spanish Empire, and it is also the confidence after the victory is guaranteed, not to mention that it is just a bunch of white bone skeleton soldiers with no combat effectiveness at all, and there are not too many bronze-level skeleton warriors who can really threaten.

Levi's soldiers, how could they not be eager to try, how could they not want to attack brazenly?

This was a good time for them to brush up on their exploits, and even the Barbary pirates, who were good at close combat, had already raised their heads and raised their necks to look into the distance, their eyes eager to fight, but also a little anxious.

This anxiety was for their companions, especially for the 20 guns behind them, and each salvo bombardment increased their serious anxiety a little, and finally after they stopped and continued to pour fire, they became a little relaxed, and finally had a little more smile on their faces.

As a melee class, they have no long-range attack means, but they are quite scared, those skeleton soldiers are directly bombarded into slag by artillery, so that they can't get half of their combat merits at all!

As soldiers, they felt that this must be a shame, but looking at the tide of skeleton soldiers who were getting closer and closer, approaching 800 meters, 700 meters, and 600 meters, they all swallowed and spat lightly, and then slowly pulled out the sharp scimitar that had already held the handle of the knife at their waists.

"Bang bang

But when this group of Barbary pirates, looking at the skeletons with soul fire swaying in the distance, wanted to draw their swords and show their strength in front of His Majesty the King, the center of the formation in front, the 7-pounder cannon that had been prepared for a long time emitted a series of shocks.

The flames flashed, and the thick smoke filled the air, and the 7-pounder cannon temporarily installed on the homemade gun carriage shook suddenly, and the ten solid iron balls slightly larger than fists had already torn the air in a straight line!

The distance of 600 meters is already the effective firing distance of a 7-pounder gun, although the caliber of this kind of artillery is small, but the whistling shells that blow by, it is really not too easy to break a bunch of bones!

The soul fire fell and overflowed in the skull, but the white light that belonged to theology passed in an instant, like a pair of large hands snatching it fiercely, and after returning to Levi's necklace, it also transformed into a defense line that protected the soldiers around him, and a rapidly increasing energy level.

In the distance, a large number of skeleton soldiers fell and shattered in a straight line, the power of the artillery was still strong, but the distance between them was getting closer and closer, and the surging speed of the skeleton tide seemed to be accelerating!

They have already seen the living, this incomparably hateful thing, the soul fire in their eyes is constantly swaying, and the tide of more than 3,000 skeletons that still exist has become much thinner, even Levi, who is standing on the hill, can find that this group of skeletons has not followed up.

The telescope was raised, and Levi's eyes were already staring into the distance, and there were countless skeleton fragments in the craters all over the ground, stretching into pieces, representing the tide of skeletons that had been bombarded by shells again and again.

"Bang bang

It was another salvo of 7-pounder guns, the fire was dazzling, but the killing effect was even stronger, and a large number of skeletons were scattered and scattered, and the sound of clattering was not even endless.

But before Levi could give the order, he watched coldly as the tide of skeletons got closer and closer, and the corner of his eye swept to the 24-pounder light cannon next to him, 20 guns were lined up one after another at the top of the hill, and now they were not using solid shells, but small and dense, scattered shells.

The distance of three hundred meters has reached the limit of flintlock guns, but Levi's order was not given, and the faces of Green and Wilmot were a little dignified.

At a distance of two hundred meters, more than three thousand skeletons had already walked up the hill and began to move towards their front, among which there were a large number of bronze-level skeleton soldiers, the soul fire in their eyes was burning, and the cold appearance was already terrifying.

One hundred and fifty meters, the town militia at the front could already see those skeleton soldiers clearly, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and even many people had solemn looks on their faces.

The provincial cavalry all turned over on their horses, all the cavalry swords in their hands were drawn, and they waited for the order with solemn faces, and then they would turn into a howling wind, and then easily sweep through the group of shrunken skeletons in front of them, and use their cavalry swords to smash everything!

One hundred meters, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and at this time, like Levi, who was tightening the bowstring, pulled out the scimitar on his waist like lightning, and raised the blade up.

"All, fire!"

His deep shout interrupted the cold silence, and the heralds and captains roared as they delivered the order to their men.

This is an order that has been prepared for a long time, whether it is the town militia or the 7-pounder artillery, or the 24-pounder light cannon, they are already ready, waiting for this order, because they have already waited, and the way to choose to obey this order is simple.

Pull the trigger, and light the arquebus.

In an instant, the fire flashed, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the deafening sound had made everyone's ears slightly deaf, because in the open space at the foot of the mountain in front of them, there were pieces of lead bullets and iron scattered bullets, as well as 7-pound shells, and the tide of skeletons that had piled up because of the uphill slope, and the bone slag was flying all over the sky!

At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded heavily, and when the artillery and flintlock musketeers had finished firing, it was the provincial cavalry that formed a riding wall, almost unstoppable charge!

In the modern army, the role of cavalry is to make up for the wound after firing a gun or cannon, and before the enemy has recovered from the huge blow he has suffered.

They didn't care about their casualties, because the noble cavalry itself had the sacrificial spirit of medieval knights, and they were willing to die on the battlefield, even if they were killed on the spot, like a true warrior, and this kind of warrior had never been lacking in the Spanish Empire!

The smoke was extremely thick, and even formed a lingering haze for a short time, but the cavalry of that province had already torn the smoke screen and appeared in front of the group of skeleton soldiers.

Charging down the hill, the hundred cavalry on the left and right were like two sharp scissors, cutting through the remaining enemy troops in the skull tide, they were like cold water falling into the boiling oil, rampage, and there were mostly scattered skeletons under the horses' hooves and cavalry swords.

"Allah is greater!"

But in the smoke screen, almost in unison shouts of praise had also been heard, and the two teams of Barbary pirates had already received Levi's order, and they drew their scimitars from their sheaths and rushed forward frantically.

Beyond the gap left by the town militia, the Barbary pirates had already rushed down the hill, but before they could run a few steps, the group at the front suddenly stopped slowly, with a certain strangeness and even disbelief on their faces.

Because in their eyes, the skeleton soldiers who should have been thousands have been shattered under the charge of more than two hundred provincial cavalry, and have even been directly cut into four skeletons, and have been cut under the horses by the cavalry who formed a riding wall and continued to charge, becoming piles of bones that began to decay.

"The battle is over."

Wilmot's eyes narrowed slightly, as the Minister of War, this real land battle made his face shine, this is the glory that belongs to him.

Not only him, but even Green also smiled, waving his hand, the smell of gunpowder between his mouth and nose was still strong, sweeping over the Barbary pirates who helplessly raised their scimitars and rushed down to crush the last bit of skeletons, but there was also a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's a very simple battle, I didn't expect it." ā€

"Yes, indeed, I didn't expect it."

For Green's emotion, Levi also nodded in agreement, looking at the battle that had come to an end, he couldn't help but take a long breath, and said lightly: "Next, maybe go further?" ā€

His gaze swept into the distance, and the castle that was already standing in the ruins of the city had already appeared in large numbers.

Picking up the binoculars and looking at the castle of the undead carefully, Levi also squinted, the pieces of bronze-level skeleton warriors on it, as well as bronze-level skeleton archers, also stood all over the city walls and arrow towers, and even on the mage tower, the rickety skeleton mages had increased a lot.

"If you want to."

Looking at Levi's excited appearance, Green and Wilmot glanced at each other, and they also bowed their heads in response, this battle is not over yet, because the castle of the dead is the goal they want to solve.

As for these bones that have been completely turned into broken bones, white bone slag and a little bronze bones all over the ground, in their opinion, they are just a warm-up before the real battle, a small war of annihilation, and what is destroyed is just some cannon fodder used to consume inferior people!
