"Hmph, hahahahaha......" Seeing the Hereford family's position in shambles, those forts that looked sturdy all collapsed and were smashed. If you look closely through www.biquge.info binoculars, you can see human stumps and broken arms and red blood between the rammed earth and wood.

Seeing all this, the female Sudan Fatima laughed uncontrollably—very pleasantly, very pleasantly.

She deliberately ignored her artillery position, which was being ravaged by the Hereford family's artillery. Just see the effectiveness of these giant guns. At the same time, it is a little arbitrary, or self-delusional, that she has achieved some success.

It's just that such a success doesn't make much sense to be honest.

These sixty-four-pounder cannons were incredibly powerful—at least to the Dark Elves. But they are simply too slow to fire. After several hours of artillery attack, only a few batteries were destroyed, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries of varying degrees to more than 200 soldiers.

If the war continues like this, then perhaps the war will not stop until this time next year.

Thinking of this, the smile of the female Sudan Fatima gradually faded, and some unhappiness and some hesitation appeared.

However, these hesitations were only for a moment, and they disappeared. Then the female Sudan Fatima made a decision on the spot, or gave an order without hesitation. The army of the Dark Elves quickly pressed down on a reorganized legion as a combat force, and launched an attack on the defense line of the Hereford House Expeditionary Force.

In the beginning, the female Sudan Fatima still did not go all out. She wasn't sending out the Dark Elf Praetorian Guard, or the War Machine Recruits. It was just a reorganized army regiment that was partially armed with flintlock pistols and bayonets.

Of course, although it is only a reform of the army corps", but if anyone wants to look down on this army and these armies, it will definitely suffer a big loss.

These guys may not be as effective as Fatima's elite, but they are still regular troops, still highly trained, and have plenty of experience.

Perhaps their morale is a little lacking. However, their discipline, and their recent strengthened weaponry, can more or less make up for it.

What's more important is the number of people.

Because of the training in the south, the Dark Elf Praetorian Guard, each legion is only 15,000 people. The corps of the Forces nouvelles was slightly larger, but generally no more than 20,000 men.

As for the Army Corps. Each of these legions, which are defined as high-level cannon fodder, will have more than 20,000 troops. Some of them can even reach 30,000 people.

It was as if the legion that Fatima had given the order to attack was a clearly overgrown legion.

A total of 26,000 army infantry, marching forward in a dense, neat array in strict accordance with military discipline.

A regiment, an infantry regiment, and one infantry company marched in orderly steps, marching step by step to the drumbeat of the military musicians.

These guys are well-defined, well-equipped, and morale is high, and they have nearly two hundred thousand reinforcements behind them, as well as the aid of the best artillery unit in the world (self-proclaimed).

They are fearless.

Little by little, this army moved forward and gradually came within the range of the Hereford guns - but the Hereford guns did not fire at the first time.

Only after the guys had almost stepped into the range of the rifled guns did William wave his hand slightly.

Then, the firepower burst out.

Nearly two hundred artillery pieces were fired at the first time. Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers armed with arquebuses and flintlock pistols rushed out of the anti-artillery holes, and then jumped out of the trenches and stood in front of the slightly worn breastwork.

Amid the roar of artillery, the Army Corps units continued to move forward. There are constantly stumps and broken arms being blasted into the sky, and people are constantly screaming and falling to the ground. But these people are still moving forward with unhurried steps.

If it weren't for the fact that the morale of these guys was a little lower, and the weapons and equipment were a little worse, even William couldn't help but admire the elite of these guys.

After carrying the artillery bombardment, he walked in front of the array of the Hereford Family Expeditionary Force. The soldiers took their muskets up at a distance of fifty meters and pulled the trigger - while the soldiers, who had not yet changed their clothes, continued to move forward calmly.

Both sides entered the tactical process of lining up to shoot bullets at each other. The army of the Hereford family had a breastwork cover. However, the armament is a little messy.

But then again, the other party's weapons and equipment are actually half a pound and eight taels with the Hereford Family Expeditionary Force.

So on the whole, it is still the Hereford family army that has a slight advantage.

However, this advantage is not obvious.

The tension between the two sides was so intense, but the killing and wounding were not actually too many with muskets. Every minute and every second, a large number of bullets are fired, and every minute and every second, people are killed by such bullets. The smoke was so large that people could barely breathe.

After shooting at each other like this.

Both sides realized that the fighting tenacity of the other side, as well as the efficiency of such mutual shooting, was practically not satisfactory.

So, after an order, the losses were slightly higher - mainly under the artillery bombardment of the Hereford family, of course, some of the army regiments with heavy losses charged.

Led by flintlock muskezeers with bayonets, there were also a large number of warriors armed with halberds, and there were also many warriors armed with scimitars and round shields, which were even more powerful than the musketeers of the Hereford family if they fought alone.

It's just that it's not really useful. Because opposite them is also a group of fighters who are proficient in hand-to-hand combat.

The backbone of the Hereford family was made up of a panacea Cossack army.

The Cossack army, capable of multi-tasking such as infantry, cavalry, cavalry archers and skirmishers, was best equipped with hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons. At the same time, most of these Cossack brigades were formed in the Cuman-Kipchak steppe. In these places, William's influence and logistical supply are still competent.

So these Cossacks were mostly equipped with cuirasers.

A set of cuirasses, a steel saber, plus the interests of the Cossacks. This formed a fairly elite hand-to-hand combat force.

In hand-to-hand combat on foot, these Cossacks were comparable even to the regular steppe legionnaires, who were professional cavalrymen.

In front of the various fronts of Cossack troops, the other side could not be said to have broken their heads, but it could also be said that they suffered heavy losses. The corpses piled up from the ground, then folded in a line, and fell to the ground for people to trample on. And this is how the later fighters stepped on the corpses of their predecessors and continued to fight.

The Cossacks had a stronger line of defense. The same goes for the defensive line of the regular army of the Hereford family.

The two sides are at a stalemate on the front. William regretted it very much. If he had known that this would happen, he would have brought some more light organ guns and small artillery to increase the infantry firepower at the front.

Even if that's not the case, it's good to bring more grenades with wooden handles. With the use of these weapons, it is absolutely possible to effectively strike at the enemy's infantry units.

It's just a pity that he didn't bring anything, and now it's useless to be hindsighted. All that can be done now is to use the blood and corpses of the soldiers to fill the gap.

The war went on and on. The Hereford family's battle line was crumbling on a few occasions, but it was quickly filled with more reserves, and the Praetorian Cavalry, who were the Overseers, did not hesitate to wield their sabers and slaughter those who were demoralized and wanted to escape.

This made William feel very dissatisfied. It had been a long time since he had seen such a bad pattern of warfare. On the other hand, the female Sudan Fatima was very satisfied. Because it's like the war she knows.

For several hours, the war went on from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon. A reorganized regiment of female Sudan consumed a small half of its troops, more morale, and almost all of its desire to fight in a full day of fighting.

On several occasions, they were close to breaking through the lines of the Hereford Expeditionary Force. It was only that it was finally beaten back by the Hereford family. On several occasions, they were pushed back by the Hereford family's counter-attack. The whole army almost collapsed. But in the end, that didn't actually happen.

The war went on and on. It was not until nightfall that the weary soldiers on both sides returned to their respective camps and fronts with staggering steps to rest. And waiting for another fight at dawn.

The war is over for the time being. William pondered his next tactics and whether to hold a cavalry battle. At the same time, William also strengthened his precautions against night attacks.

At the same time, the Dark Elves were celebrating.

Although, in fact, the attack failed. But it gave the dark elves a sense of hope.

Although defeated. But it wasn't the elite army of the Dark Elves who were defeated, it was just a group of insignificant human soldiers.

Although defeated, they had effectively inflicted damage on the Hereford army, and the exchange ratio, while a bit ugly, would not have reached the embarrassing point of ten to one, or even higher, as before.

All of this proves one thing, and that is that this war can be won. The armies of the Hereford family are not invincible.

They were able to win a war against Wilhelm von Hereford.

There's nothing more exciting in this world.
