Chapter 147: Bayonet Assault
Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom......
The overwhelming artillery bombardment made the Spanish recruits guarding behind the fortifications miserable, and from time to time some unlucky people were blown up by the blasting bombs of the Han Empire......
Well, if you can be blown up by a shell filled with black gunpowder, it is obvious that you are just hit, and with the accuracy of the smoothbore cannon of this era, the Spanish children who are hit will definitely win the lottery if you go to buy a lottery ticket......
Of course, these fortifications gathered the main force of the Spanish army, and it was the large number of them that caused so many unlucky people to be born......
The imperial army in the rear commanded the high platform, Wang Qiming put down the monoculars, and said to the bearded Paprov beside him: "General Paprov, is your people the first to rush up, or let the Indian soldiers consume it first?" ”
Wang Qiming's tone was full of indifference to the lives of Indian soldiers, even if he was the commander-in-chief of this group of Indian soldiers!
Paprov naturally understands Wang Qiming's temperament, since the American Field Army fought a heavy loss with superior weapons in the war between the American Field Army and the Soviet Union in Louisiana, Wang Qiming no longer has expectations for the combat effectiveness of Indian soldiers, even if most of the main Spanish forces on the opposite side are recruits, and even many people do not even have the awareness of anti-artillery, and when their own artillery bombardment, they still run around to evade......
Of course, Paprov is not disgusted by Wang Qiming's behavior of completely treating Indian soldiers as expendables and cannon fodder, and he will not care if Paprov dies in this Han Empire except for the emperor......
"Let's let my people go, the American Field Army can be slightly restrained by the two wings, the fortifications are well repaired, but it's a pity that the Spanish soldiers on the garrison are too amateurish, many of them should be facing the war for the first time, hehe, what a beautiful first time, if you let the unreliable Indian soldiers of the American Field Army give the Spaniards on the opposite side experience and confidence, my people will rush again, and there will be more casualties!"
Paprov explained. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wang Qiming shrugged indifferently and said, "Okay, I'll let my people support you when you rush in, and I wish us a toast at the Spaniards' headquarters tonight!" ”
"Hahaha, if you want to talk about drinking, you can't drink me!"
――――
Columns of Russian grenadier Janissaries soldiers, carrying flintlock pistols on their shoulders and stepping on the beat of drums, marched in orderly steps under the cover of their own artillery fire, towards the Spanish fortifications that had been blasted out of the gap by shells!
The Spanish soldiers, who were hiding behind the breastwork, couldn't help but start to get nervous as they looked at the black-pressed lines.
"The Indians are all barbarians, everyone cheer up, never let them cross our defenses, don't think about surrendering, otherwise you have to be careful of the barbarian Indians, and peel off your scalps as souvenirs!"
The Spanish officers on the front line shouted loudly to boost the morale of these Spanish recruits, and they rarely shouted words like "for the king, for victory", because the vast majority of the Spanish soldiers here have just changed from civilian status, and they do not have a strong sense of honor for allegiance to the king, as for victory......
Looking at the soft expressions of these Spanish recruits, these Spanish officers understood that if they could resist this round of attacks, even if they 'passed'......
However, the custom of Indian soldiers willing to cut off the scalps of their enemies was well known to the Spaniards, who had lived in the North American colonies for a long time, and this was the reason why the Spanish officers used this set to encourage morale.
For the sake of the king, for the sake of victory, you are unwilling, for your own life, you mud-legged people should fight hard!
However......
"Report sir, the soldiers of the Han Empire on the other side are not Indian soldiers, they are all white like us!"
"Ah, it's a bit like a Russian!"
……
Reminded by some sharp-eyed Spanish soldiers, many Spanish soldiers realized that the army on the opposite side turned out to be the same blonde or brown-haired race as their own!
Most of these soldiers don't think about why the Europeans would be loyal to an Indian emperor, and they can't help but think that since the other side is also Caucasian, they can't do such a thing as torture and killing prisoners......
I have to say that the wars in modern Europe are slightly more civilized than the wars in the East, and there are really not many incidents of torture and killing of prisoners!
Even after the end of the war, it is customary for countries to release prisoners who had previously been taken in, whether they were victors or losers, in many cases!
The Geneva Convention, which later treats prisoners of war well, was also established by European and American countries......
Just when the Spanish soldier's mind was spinning with 'bad thoughts', the Russian soldier was already stepping into the 100-meter range!
Theoretically, this distance is already within the range of the flintlock pistol, which means that the hit rate is very bad......
In the Spanish army, although the proportion of recruits is larger, the minimum military training has been experienced, and under the pressure of the officers' bullets, there have been no amateur incidents of shooting at 100 meters.
It's a pity, unless the Russian soldiers and officers, from top to bottom, are brain-dead, who will shoot at the Spanish soldiers who stay in the fortifications?
The effect of the chest wall that can cover most of a person's body and defend against flintlock lead bullets is so good that it is common to all of Europe, and of course, in the face of such fortifications, it is impossible for the attacking side to be shot in a line!
In fact, the real queue shooting takes place in encounters and field battles, and the most used siege in the war is artillery bombardment and bayonet charge!
When the Russian soldiers advanced to within 100 meters, the Russian officers standing in front or on the side roared loudly!
"For the Emperor!"
"Ula !!"
"For victory!"
"Ula !!"
"Charge!"
"Ula ......"
……
I saw that after entering a distance of 100 meters, the Russian soldiers fanatically launched a bayonet assault!
When the Spanish soldiers heard the earth-shattering sound of ura, the quality of the recruits was finally reflected, and many Spanish recruits were so frightened by this scene that their fingers trembled, and they shot out with a snap......
It doesn't matter if he shoots out like this, the key is that this kind of crazy and tense battlefield environment, everyone's spirit collapsed on a string, and this gunshot sounded like a starting gun, and the surrounding soldiers subconsciously followed suit......
Then, just like a gun platoon command, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the entire fortification position!
The battle, just like that, in the frustration of the Spanish officers, began!
