The starry night sky is blue and bright, and the visibility in the wilderness is maintained well, about a hundred meters. www.biquge.info In front of the sparkling stream, dense numbers of smoothbore gunners lined up in front of the sparkling stream. Dressed in snow-white tuxedo trench coats, with armed belts on their chests and standard bayonets hanging from their waists, they stood in three horizontal rows, holding smoothbore guns in high spirits, like a forest in white.

Because the smoothbore guns were difficult to reload, the accuracy was not high, and they required dense formations to increase firepower, so the line tactics were popular. The soldiers stand in a row next to each other, maintaining a dense output, and if the military discipline is good, and firing at the same time, a salvo can reap the visual effect of harvesting wheat.

With the advancement of technology, the smoothbore gun has the ability to penetrate 3 mm steel plates, and the cheap training and large scale make it able to inflict unbearable losses on heavy cavalry regiments in the event of a firefight.

After the prevalence of muskets, the expensive heavy cavalry gradually disappeared and was replaced by the powerful, agile and cheap lance-wielding light cavalry. Of the silly formations for skirmishes, the line tactic is the most practical, although it looks the most stupid in the practical tactics.

As the only country on the mainland to retain a heavy cavalry formation, Germany was the last position of the knightly system. Therefore, on the two flanks of the infantry line, two dragoon squads were still deployed, twenty horsemen on the left and right. Their armor ranged from helmets to the hooves of their horses, and the gaze in their visors was bursting with the will to sacrifice, and the horses were draped in a series of steel sheets that hung like red sheets on the green grass.

Even with extreme gravity and protection, these heavy cavalry would suffer heavy casualties when they hit the infantry line head-on. A swarm charge would be wiped out by artillery, and a roundabout harvest would not be as good as a hussar regiment - the dragoons were hesitant to be on standby, not knowing what orders would be given by their superiors.

Science and technology are advancing rapidly, firepower is also changing with each passing day, infantry and artillery coordination has become a trend, infantry is no longer a brittle farmer, infantry has become the main body of war. When the dragoons were hesitant on the frontal battlefield, the embarrassing position of the heavy cavalry in the artillery era was revealed.

A line of torches illuminates the meadow in front of the horses' hooves. Griffith rode his horse and paced, followed by two attendants with torches.

"Our army is outnumbered. Be sure to hold both flanks of the infantry, drive away the enemy cavalry on the flanks, and prevent the opponent from taking advantage of the numerical advantage to outflank our troops. Griffith patted the dragoon Nice on the shoulder: "Nervous?"

Captain Nice did not hesitate to raise the sword of the Wind King: "It is the tradition of dragoons to attack the crowd with outnumbered. ”

Griffith was the general of the New Army, who commanded the infantry. So Nice was tough and held on to the glory of the heavy cavalry.

Griffith nodded, and rode away after giving the task. The light of the torches pierced the darkness, illuminating the soldiers who were waiting for battle: slender smoothbore guns stood on the ground, each nearly as tall as a man.

He opened his pocket watch, and the clock jumped to twelve o'clock in the morning.

"There are no signs of an enemy attack...... Are we overthinking?" he was a little skeptical.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the upper reaches of the stream, at the top of the highlands, in the baggage camp, the atmosphere was a little tense. The officer corps gathered around Elena's tent and demanded that she hand over her weapons for the battle.

"The weapon is undergoing final commissioning and will not be put into service until an hour later. Elena has been educated in the Elven Kingdom since she was a child, and she is calm and relaxed no matter what the occasion: "What you have to do is to hold on for an hour, and then abandon the stream position, withdraw to the high ground and hold on until early in the morning." ”

"According to the final report of the chasseurs, when Isaac was besieging the city, a miracle fell from the sky, and Isaac actually stepped into the realm of the Angel's Pupil, and instantly became a paladin, and his combat effectiveness surpassed that of anyone in the officer corps. A division commander of the Wehrmacht explained: "We suspect that Isaac attacked all the chasseurs. If Isaac storms the heights and no knight can resist him, the command may be wiped out - you've seen the horror of the Angel's Pupil, and the paladins pose a huge threat to the officer corps of the command center. ”

Elena remembered the eve of the coup d'état, of the murderous Grand Master. Indeed, the paladin wanted to assassinate, but no one could stop him.

"If your weapon of the decisive battle can be aimed at Isaac, the officer corps will be able to calmly formulate a battle plan. The division commander continued to explain: "So please trust us. We don't give away information. I just want to take a look at the weapons of the decisive battle. ”

"It was debugged in an hour. I'll show you when the time comes. Elena promised.

The three division commanders looked at each other, and none of them had the courage to ask. They were convinced that Elena's transfer of power to Frederick was a matter of post-facture, because the way she paved was too tough: Elven Heavy Industries, with the approval of the presidential palace, monopolized the military future of elven technology. As the only member of the royal family who is trusted by both the elves and the presidential palace, Elena is in charge of the direction of the military industry, and she is in charge of the future of the Ministry of Defense.

If there really is a so-called "weapon of decisive battle" in the baggage battalion, then the level of secrecy in this matter may be very high, so high that only Elena knows about it, and even the officer corps has no right to know about it.

Only when there is a battle will Elena speak up about it. It makes sense to think about it.

The three division commanders did not dare to ask questions, and they left in a state of agitation, for an hour would soon pass. It's just that they didn't expect that Elena could quietly deceive the upper and lower levels and manipulate the decisions of two groups of people.

From the standpoint of the officer corps, it will definitely choose to run away if it can't be beaten, and will never consider the interests of Munich. Elena was afraid that Frederick would be surrounded, and she was eager to defend the supply line for him, and fought to the last soldier.

No matter how much she resented Frederick, she would fear him, that he would be besieged, that he would be defeated in Munich—and that she would not even hesitate to encourage the officer corps to defend the heights.

She was so flustered that her head was boiling with panic when she lied to her composure, and she knew that she had deceived the officer corps into staying behind in order to fight a positional battle in which she was outnumbered—but she had to do it, she alone could not withstand the thousands of troops, and she could not withstand the rain of bullets. She thought, women are selfish anyway, so I'll bully the officer corps once.

Therefore, when she saw that the officer corps believed in her, Elena turned around and left in a panic, lest she be seen as flawed.

Elven engineer Dimi followed Elena and whispered worriedly, "Under the tarp, it is obviously the steelmaking furnace and ancillary equipment transported by the elf country...... Where are the weapons of decisive battle?"

Elena had already had an idea, and ran to the baggage camp with her skirt: "I remember that the steelmaking equipment is modular, right? Quickly unload the atomization module, split and cut it, and transport it to the handsome tent! The lighter the better! The workload is not large, and it can be done in an hour!"

"Ahh The elven engineer swarmed up and cut the cable tied to the tarp with a few swords.

As the pitch-black tarp was torn off inch by inch, the mountain-like steelmaking equipment revealed its craggy silhouette.

Elena was sent to the elven kingdom as a hostage at a young age, and before she was called back, she received a high-quality education from the elves, and her grades were so good that even the priests admired and admired. She is the only one who can properly communicate with the Elven Engineer.

At this moment, the gates of Munich were opened, and a line of dragoons galloped out, shooting out of the gates like a sharp arrow. The sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, the great drawbridge was still shaking, and the city gate was squeezing out an army like toothpaste, all black and oppressive musketeers. The infantry trotted in unison, winding into a moving earthworm that swam straight north to the Wiener legion.

By chance, the two unprecedented leaders finally competed. From this day on, war tears peace apart, and there is no peace on the earth.
