Chapter 334. The horn of the decisive battle is sounded!
At the same time, the "capital of chaos".
After Chopin left, the fierce collision intensified instead of stopping.
When the brutal war broke out, the bloody collision of tens of thousands of people at every turn, the tragedy and chaos in it are difficult to describe in words, it is completely an indelible picture of countless blood and bones piled up.
In such a chaotic situation, every day, countless people will fall, but there will also be new flags.
Every bloody war is a collision of life and death, and under the endless flames of war, the people of the entire island are like ants on a hot pot, but they don't know who can escape from this sea of fire, and who will fall into darkness forever......
And yet, this is war, a cruel and bloody war! It always announces its coming in the most decisive and cruel way.
In the war that engulfed the entire "City of Chaos", too many people died, corpses piled up, and the blood that flowed gathered into a rolling torrent that overflowed every piece of land on the island, and then soaked into the earth little by little.
However, the wheel of time does not stop for a moment because of anyone's begging, it only keeps turning forward, bringing clear and vague traces on the muddy road.
Wailing, roaring, roaring, whistling...... All kinds of voices converge together, as if playing the overture of war, and as if telling the endless sorrow of this long world.
But then, without a hint, the bloody war that had intensified suddenly stopped before it was about to enter a more surging **.
After months of bloody and cruel war baptism, at this time, all the small and medium-sized forces in the "chaotic capital" have been eliminated, and only the big forces of the "Tiger King" and "Sideburns Dog" are left, which are still engaged in the final competition on this land.
But at this time, on a certain inconspicuous plain, all the forces of all parties gathered here.
Although he had heard of the situation in front of him for a long time, when he saw the amazing scene in front of him, the faces of the people in control of the big forces of all parties were extremely pale.
Ahead, the surging black mist swirled, writhing, changing, and advancing like a living thing, and the surrounding area, once occupied by the black mist, immediately fell into endless darkness.
Half a month ago, just when the fierce battle between the forces of all parties was in full swing, the dark area that had been silent for a long time in the Central Region suddenly expanded wildly at an alarming speed, and the black mist seemed to have been stimulated by something fierce, and in just one day, it spread to the surrounding distance of several kilometers, if it continued like this, I am afraid that it would not take a month, and the entire "chaotic capital" would be swallowed up by this black fog.
Although the original astonishing expansion speed of the black fog has significantly shrunk after the initial sudden eruption, every day, the black fog continues to expand in all directions.
And under this unprecedented huge crisis, these forces were able to put aside their grievances, after all, if it continued like this, no matter who won the final victory in the future, they would not be able to escape the bleak ending of being engulfed by the raging black fog.
Just when the faces of the controllers of all forces were difficult to see, a rapid and rhythmic sound suddenly sounded on the ground.
"Dada"
And just when everyone was slightly stunned, in the surging black mist, a large number of necromantic knights had already rushed out, and then, endless undead enveloped the entire "chaotic capital......
************
The stars are shining brightly, and the Milky Way is vast.
In an unknown space, on a stone platform hundreds of meters high, a huge six-pointed magic circle was imprinted, and in the center of the magic circle, several old men covered with magician robes were holding magic staff one by one at this time, with solemn faces.
Then they didn't see any movement, but the six-pointed star magic array under them suddenly emerged with incomparably bright light, and then, an obscure starry sky pattern appeared without the slightest warning.
Bright stars dotted and constantly changing, and then as if reaching the extreme, the stars rose brightly, tearing through the haze in the depths of the universe, and falling down like raindrops.
But just as the stars fell, without a hint, a tiny crack suddenly appeared from the depths of the universe, and it took less than a few breaths from the time it appeared, expanded, and then disappeared again.
Then, among the falling stars, there were a few more shadowy black points of light.
Sensing this scene, the faces of the other old men changed.
"Is it finally getting started?"
The old man at the head seemed to have already guessed this scene, sighed slightly, and in his indescribable tone, he seemed to be melancholy, and seemed to be emotional, as for the inclusion of more, it was probably a helplessness that was completely uncontrollable.
************
Through the refraction effect of the telescope, when the appearance of the giant island in the field of vision gradually became clear, the horn of the final battle was also sounded heroically.
A large number of troops began to assemble in the central square of the city, which was a strategic attack on the "Saint Radiance", and it was also the beginning of the French Empire's unification of the Western Sea, and used it as a springboard to conquer the entire endless sea.
All the slaves on the Drifting Island are now in a high-speed operation every day, and any slaves who disagree will be killed immediately, and at the critical moment of the expedition to Forderson, Chopin does not want any accidents to happen to the homeland in the rear, so the cruel methods used at this time are also thunderous and cruel.
At the same time, the inhabitants of the city of Paris were also turning in succession, although they would not take up arms and appear on the front line of the battlefield, but they were also busy at this time, because in the next fierce war, the logistics were completely guaranteed by them.
The wheat harvested in the previous months, as well as the various types of meat stored in storage, were also piled up in the warehouse at this time, even if the war did not go as smoothly as expected, this food was enough to ensure that all the Imperial soldiers could fight for a long time without being forced to withdraw due to lack of food.
The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this proverb in the country where Chopin once lived with the red flag waving, but in this other world, it is equally applicable.
After all, only by ensuring that the soldiers on your side do not go hungry will they have enough physical strength to meet the next arduous battle.
In addition to food, in the past few months, a large number of lead bullets and artillery shells have been continuously manufactured in the arsenal, after all, in the next collision process, these seemingly inconspicuous weapons are the key points that determine the outcome of this battle.
And the main force of this siege campaign is naturally a full 20 teams of 2,400 line infantry, compared with those town militia, their shooting power is more amazing, and the accuracy of shooting is significantly higher, and because of the installation of ring bayonets, even in the face of the impact of the cavalry camp or the rest of the soldiers, these line infantry that are enough to form an independent army will not have the slightest fear.
The "rotational" tactics of the line infantry can ensure that they can pour out their firepower in an endless stream.
Today's firearms are far from being as sophisticated as they were in later generations, and it is a hassle to reload ammunition after a round of fire, even if the flintlock pistol has been improved several times, and the fastest reload time in a minute is only two or three rounds.
And in this seemingly short reload time, anything can happen on the ever-changing battlefield.
Take advantage of this time to get close enough to charge or run out of range. A half-loaded rifle is of little use against a white-knuckle charging enemy, and its owner will be mercilessly stabbed to death.
Rotational fire, on the other hand, divides the infantry into smaller units, each of which is in a different state of firing or reloading. The result was a ripple of fire on the infantry line, and when the last group of soldiers fired, the first group was already reloaded and ready to fire again. In this way, the infantry front could maintain uninterrupted fire.
Although this firepower is far less ferocious than the collective salvo, it also ensures to a large extent the embarrassing situation of being attacked by enemy troops.
As for the number of Polish cavalry and Mamluk cavalry, there were still more than 800 people due to the previous attrition, and Chopin had no intention of recruiting further for the time being.
After all, in a siege war, the role that cavalry can play can be said to be almost zero, and you can't expect a group of war horses to cross the thick city wall more than ten meters or even dozens of meters high.
However, although cavalry cannot play a role in siege warfare, if they collide on the plains, the role of these cavalry is still irreplaceable.
After all, the cavalry's high-speed mobility and terrifying power that can destroy the enemy's morale when charging together make them one of the indispensable arms in war long after the appearance of firearms.
In fact, even in the era of smoothbore guns, cavalry relied on neat queues and powerful impact power, and played an irreplaceable role on the battlefield. After all, no matter how powerful your gun is, the reload speed, accuracy, and most importantly the range can ensure that the cavalry will be able to rush in front of you and fight with the opponent's bayonet.
The real decline of cavalry was preceded by the appearance of the Mini rifle in the Crimean War. The Mini rifle was a rifled, front-loading rapid-fire rifle that was greatly improved in rate of fire, accuracy, and range compared to older smoothbore guns, increasing infantry firepower to a level that was insurmountable when cavalry charged. That's why two rows of red queues of British troops appeared to block the Russian cavalry head-on and routed them during the charge. With this alone, it was no longer possible for cavalry to fight against infantry on a frontal battlefield.
However, at present, in this other world, the surging charge of the cavalry is still an irresistible terrifying power, and the general army with slightly inferior morale will not even be able to withstand a few rounds of cavalry drilling, and it will collapse into an army, and it will easily collapse on the whole line.
In addition to head-on collisions, whether it is to carry out small-scale harassment or disperse to investigate, their role should not be underestimated.
As for the most important hand-to-hand combat troops in this collision, Chopin still chose spearmen, in addition to the relatively cheap price of recruitment, the main reason is because these soldiers with spears can largely block the charge of the undead soldiers, so as to buy enough time for the line infantry and the artillery in the rear to counterattack.
A full 30 teams of 3,600 spearmen, in addition to half of the line infantry and artillery will be divided to protect the line of infantry, the remaining spearmen will play a great role in the fierce battle for the city wall, the subsequent street fighting into the city and the preliminary reconnaissance.
And the artillery, which was absolutely strategic in this campaign, Chopin was also massively assembled.
Whether it is to use the amazing power of artillery to attack the city, or to deal with those "Knights of Judgment", "Nightmares" and even the terrifying existence that has not yet appeared under Forderson, artillery is undoubtedly the best means of attack.
And among these guns, the largest number is naturally the 6-pounder cavalry gun, a total of 5 teams of 20 guns.
In addition, there were 8 12-pounder cavalry guns in 2 teams, 12 cannons in 3 squads, 4 24-pounder Guards infantry guns and 4 24-pounder howitzers, 24-pounder rocket launchers, and 20-pounder unicorn guns.
In Chopin's initial plan, the last four guns were not actually in the transport queue, after all, these guns were too heavy and extremely inconvenient to transport, but later remembered what happened in the past, Chopin decided to bring all these guns with him.
As for the only 100 old guards, this time they went out as Chopin's personal guards, and in order to ensure their own safety, in addition, there were four teams of Cold Creek Guards and hundreds of newly recruited fur smugglers by his side.
These are all the armies of Chopin's attack on Fordson's territory this time, with such a strong army, Chopin has absolute confidence enough to sweep the entire Western Sea.
However, before these soldiers can make their debut, there is one final trouble to solve, and that is the naval fleet of the "Tianxin" Kingdom.
At this time, where in the harbor docks, a galleon, three brigs, three brigs, five corvettes, twenty heavy Canadian battleships, plus more than twenty converted transport warships, were quietly moored there.
And with the boarding of a large number of Imperial soldiers, in the enthusiastic cheers of the residents of the French Empire, the mighty battle officially began!
