Chapter Forty-Seven: Attack
Signal to meet the attack?
Vega didn't expect the regimental headquarters to give the order to attack.
According to the usual practice, in this case, a temporary retreat is usually taken, after all, two fists are invincible to four hands, and their company has only 160 men, while the number of opponents has exceeded 500.
But it's not out of the question.
After all, the other party is the cannon fodder unit of the Imperial Army, and his side is the backbone of the Imperial Army, and the only thing to worry about is whether there are professionals in the other party's army.
This is the reason why Vega wants to retreat.
In this kind of situation, the chance of accidents happening is too great, and once there are senior professionals in the ranks of the Kingdom Army, and they have combat skills, then it will be a problem for him to even escape.
"Company commander, please give the order. ”
The adjutant looked at Vega and reminded: "According to the speed of the opponent's movement, it will be another twenty minutes before we will enter the attack distance, and we don't have much time to waste." ”
"Prepare to attack. ”
The orders of the regimental headquarters could not be disobeyed, and he understood the intentions of the regimental headquarters to some extent.
The backbone of the empire will still run away in the face of the cannon fodder troops of the kingdom?
This is something that the regimental headquarters absolutely does not allow, and the regimental headquarters wants to let these Kingdom cannon fodder troops, who think they can win by numbers, know that the troops stationed on the border line have been replaced.
On the way through.
The giant shieldmen are in front, the crossbowmen are behind, and the pikemen are ready to charge.
The formation is completed in an instant.
Vega's subordinates formed a formation on the other side's inevitable path, quietly waiting for the arrival of the kingdom's cannon fodder troops.
What is the difference between cannon fodder troops and stalwarts units?
First of all, the backbone troops have sophisticated equipment, crossbow arrows, simple combat uniforms, giant shields, and spears......
In addition to the excellent equipment, each soldier is systematically trained, proficient in military combat techniques and military combat techniques, and proficient in such things as 121, 212, 333...... and other land battle formations.
The cannon fodder troops are different.
As soon as they joined the army, they were directly thrown to the border line for garrison tasks after only superficial training, and the weapons on their bodies were only standard spears, and they were not even equipped with combat uniforms for defense, let alone any fighting skills, combat skills and war formations.
The way cannon fodder units fight is simple.
If you want to describe it, it is indomitable, simple and crude, and the number wins.
Whether it is the Kingdom Army or the Imperial Army, there is not much difference in the strength of the cannon fodder troops, and the combat methods of the two sides are also simple, whoever has the most numbers will be awesome, and the side with a small number will generally turn around and run.
If the number is the same, then the brave can only meet in a narrow way.
And the backbone is the brainwashed Imperial army, even if the opponent is several times larger than their own, they can form a formation to resist to the end, they regard the glory of the empire and the orders of the commander as higher than their own lives.
The cold wind is blowing.
Due to the fact that there was still some snow on the ground, the opponent did not use horses, but marched on foot, which also gave Vega a greater certainty of defeating the opponent, and the gap in equipment and combat ability was sometimes not something that could be crushed by numbers.
Time passes.
The figure of the Kingdom Army is already visible to the naked eye.
Vega drew his dagger.
He stood at the front of the ranks, trying to find the pros in the enemy ranks as soon as possible.
————
Kingdom Army, Seventh Army, 314 Battalion.
Theodore is the deputy commander of the 314th Battalion, and today he received an order from the regimental headquarters to launch an attack on a nearby guard tower of the Imperial Army, because this month the Imperial Army has destroyed 19 of their guard towers, and this field must be recovered.
The only place in their regiment fell on the head of the 314 battalion.
Being able to get this task was enough to make Theodore excited for a night and couldn't sleep, so he immediately got up early this morning and gathered his subordinates and the battalion commander to march towards the nearest sentry tower in two ways.
Because this task is a beautiful one.
The friction along the border between the two countries has always been that you slap me in the face, I punch you back, he brought more than 500 people to look for trouble, and the imperial army on the opposite side was afraid that they would abandon the building and flee when they saw his shadow, so he could destroy the sentry tower and loot the supplies without much effort.
This is all a military exploit of a white bastard.
Being able to receive this kind of task means that the above is ready to transfer you back to the division headquarters of Gasiri City, and after systematic training, you will become the enviable backbone of the Kingdom Army, and he will naturally be transferred to the officer of the backbone of the army.
"Second Company Commander, how far is it from the sentry tower?"
Although Theodore had asked no less than twenty times along the way, the second company commander still took the trouble to reply: "Report to the deputy battalion commander, it will take about 15 minutes at the current marching speed." ”
"Why, fifteen minutes left. ”
Theodore complained that he was desperate to get out of the border as soon as possible, as he had been stationed at the border for more than three years.
He did not return to the city of Gasiri for three years, and he did not see his family for three years.
He was eager to complete this easy task, and then follow a process to return to the city of Gasiri with his troops.
"After this mission, let's go back to my hometown in the countryside and get married. ”
Theodore, the deputy battalion commander, looked at the clear sky and stepped on the snow to take the lead, and the joy of his imminent return made him speed up his pace.
Five minutes later.
More than 1,000 meters from the watchtower, he saw the Imperial Army.
This is an army of about 130 people, and they still have shields and crossbows in their hands, which is more than a little better than their equipment, when the Imperial Army has been extravagant enough to equip cannon fodder troops with this kind of equipment.
That's not the point.
The point is that this time, the Imperial Army did not directly abandon the building and flee, but stayed to meet the attack.
130 people on one side and 500 people on the other.
With this huge gap in numbers, the Imperial Army probably doesn't have the slightest chance of winning, and the commander of the other side is afraid that he will only give such a stupid order to meet the attack if he is kicked in the head by a donkey.
Theodore did not take the Imperial Army into account.
Because he himself is a second-level trainee professional, according to convention, there are very few professional officers in the cannon fodder troops, not to mention that the gap in number is so large, it is enough to directly crush it with the army.
"Combat readiness. ”
Theodore drew his crosssword and gave the order: "Charge me, and let's teach the miscellaneous men of the Imperial Army what real war is." ”
Bang la blah.
More than 500 people charged at the moment of receiving the order.
The sheer numerical superiority made everyone think that the victory was in their hands, and the Imperial soldiers who tried to hit the stone with eggs were only here to give them their battle exploits, and the kingdom would be victorious, and they would finally triumph.
It's close.
The two armies were less than three hundred meters apart, and Theodore also saw Vega standing at the front of the Imperial army at this time.
Is that......
A child?
