Chapter 125: Victory and Amazing News
"That's it, that's it...... Well, the formation changed, with cavalry as the vanguard, and then infantry to cover the war elephants. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This tactic is really, retro. William could not help but sigh as he was surrounded by four mounted infantry regiments, more than three thousand infantry units, who, under the cover of a cavalry artillery regiment, formed a strong defensive line.
On both sides, more cavalry and cavalry artillery were in place.
If you look at the ground from the sky now, you can see that the troops of the White Army have entered a pocket-like situation, surrounded on three sides. Although these guys already have enough combat experience. However, tactics like this, more similar to the tactics of the reckless and ancient tactical variants, they have never heard of.
Let's just say that these guys are out of luck.
After seeing the strong defensive line of the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force, the Indian cavalry who rushed to the front was a little stunned.
What they expected, seeing the army of the Russian Gothic Empire panicking, and then they could casually crush the enemy's array, and then win or something, did not arise. With enough European instructors, they fully understand how terrible such a line of defense is. If they really charged regardless of it, they would have died a terrible death.
However, things have come to this point. The armies of the Russian Gothic Empire would not have let them go so simply.
In fact, the army of the Russian Gothic Empire was moving forward slowly, little by little, in a rhythmic manner.
Although the cavalry dismounted and fought in formation was not as reliable as the professional privates, they were still better than any Sikh infantry unit.
Seeing that the opposing line of infantry began to slowly and little by little approach them, the cavalry were forced to charge, and then they were greeted by a dense three-stage fire and a shotgun bombardment from the cavalry artillery.
Under such dense firepower, the several cavalry companies that rushed to the front were all killed almost instantly. After losing nearly a fifth of their strength in an instant, the Sikh cavalry began to stagnate. There were even deserters - followed by a second round of rapid-fire over a dozen seconds.
Although due to distance and array problems, only about half of the cavalry units died this time. But this attack was still difficult for the cavalry to accept.
More cavalry turned their horses, ready to flee.
At the same time, the cavalry units on both flanks of the Russian Gothic Empire were also in place, and nearly 10,000 soldiers on three sides slaughtered the mercenary units of the White Legion, which were only half of them.
When the mercenary units of the White Legion entered the battlefield, they were faced with such a situation, I don't know whether it should be a tragedy or a tragic situation.
They, in turn, were disrupted by friendly cavalry who were supposed to cover their flanks. After that, the artillery fire from both flanks inflicted heavy casualties, and then the enemy in front of them also pressed in.
Even if they used a slightly weakened cavalry gun. However, hundreds of cavalry guns opened fire in unison, and the fire was still unbearable for the enemy.
Especially when they also used a new type of flowering bomb.
After a burst of artillery bombardment, the cavalry of the Russian Gothic Empire, together with the cavalry infantry units, charged. Under the attack from three sides, the White Army made little decent resistance.
Everything is as simple and perfect as it is like a textbook.
They were flanked on three sides, they began to crumble, their arrays shattered, formations squeezed, and their soldiers panicked and their morale dropped.
Because of the great chaos, and the loud explosions that were even more terrible than the chaos, and the killing, death, and blood caused by the explosions, the war elephants went berserk in an instant.
After all, war elephants, as herbivores, are relatively mild creatures. At the same time, he is not very bold.
Although they are said to have been bred in captivity, they have also received a certain degree of training. As war elephants, they are much more courageous than ordinary elephants.
But even so, in the face of unimaginable explosions, artillery, and modern rifles, they still have an irrepressible fear. Then, as a matter of course, it collapsed.
The mad war elephant became the last war elephant to overwhelm the camel. Under the ruthless trampling of these guys, the white army's front, which was barely able to maintain, finally could not be maintained.
After the array was torn apart, the Russian Gothic Empire took advantage of the situation to launch an onslaught, dividing the enemy into small pieces and annihilating them one by one. In this case, the White Army finally could not hold up and they naturally collapsed.
Although these guys eventually collapsed, but come to think of it, this is also a matter of course, and there are too many things that are not in their favor. In this case, they still held out for so long before they were eliminated, which is already worthy of their name as "elite".
William even thinks that even if he pulls an army unit of the Russian Gothic Empire, with the same number, I am afraid that this can only be done.
"Almost, that's it. "Seeing that our own cavalry pursued and killed the remnants of the white legion who fled in confusion. William didn't feel happy, but felt a little sad.
The act of the state replaces the act of individualism. The legendary adventurers who panned for gold in various places and made a fortune are finally a thing of the past. Once upon a time, these guys were like heroes. Wherever they go, they send chaos and war in their place. Then came conquest, slaughter, and enrichment.
In the end, when these guys became heroes and became famous, their country also benefited from their actions, and the powerful nobles and merchants formed a group called the state, which replaced it all in the shortest possible time. Turn it all into your own meal, and then give these guys a little bit of leftovers like a reward.
Of course, if these fellows are unhappy, or if they are uninteresting and do not accept the gifts of the great emperors and nobles - and of course the legendary very kind capitalists who fight for justice and the cause of humanity, then these scumbags and nouveau riche can naturally die.
Well, yes, that's it, very, very pleasant.
After all, the world is indeed ruled by money, but this world is not just about money.
The idiot who suddenly inherited an inheritance of hundreds of billions of dollars, in addition to being killed by his relatives who plotted against him, is most likely to become an ATM of a certain organization. This kind of thing has not happened in history. If it's new, it's not new at all.
"In this way, the empire's sphere of influence can cover the whole world. William thought in his heart: "That is to say, in this way, there is nothing in this world that can escape the paradise of the empire, and the end of those so-called gold diggers has finally come."
Come to think of it, it's a little sad, well, yes, sad. ”
Although he said it was sad, William didn't really show a sad expression - just kidding, a bunch of scum died and died. What he misses is not this group of scum, but this group of scumbags who don't know why, very unexpectedly created this great era.
"But come to think of it, it's nothing. William then thought, "Because then there will be a greater era to come, in the place of all this." And the founders of this even greater era are of course to be self-serving. ”
Thinking of this, William's chest swelled up with great pride and was very pleasant. At the same time, a large number of troops were lost, especially after hearing that the White Army, which was the trump card, was also close to being completely annihilated. The Lord Landit on the opposite side finally couldn't hold it anymore.
His troops had lost too much. This is the capital that made him a maharaja and ruled all this.
Even for him, the war against the Russian Gothic Empire can be lost, anyway, even if it is a failure, as long as he surrenders obediently, then the Russian Gothic Empire will most likely let him go. But if the soldiers are gone, then they have no use value.
Not to mention the conquerors of the Russian Gothic Empire, even the Sikhs themselves would no longer like to have a miserable fellow who had suffered such a defeat as their ruler.
In this case, Maharaja Ranjit certainly understood what was the right thing to do.
It was in this situation that William soon received information that the forces of the Maharaja of Landit began to retreat. They gave way to the stream that had caused heavy losses to the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force, retreated backwards, and then retreated. Looks like these guys are trying to escape.
That night, William received an interesting guest in his military camp, an emissary sent by Maharaja Ranjit.
The envoy spoke modestly, but at the same time showed a little resoluteness.
They were humble because they expected to make peace with the Russian Gothic Empire, and they were even willing to follow the example of the Mughals and become a vassal state under the control of the Russian Gothic Empire.
To put it bluntly, they naturally did not want the Russian Gothic Empire to gain an inch - and if they really did not want to do so, and wanted more, then they could not choose another path.
It is to fight with the expeditionary force of the Russian Gothic Empire.
In the end, the messenger flattered William, praising him as a rare and powerful ruler of wisdom and wisdom in this world. I believe that William will definitely choose the right choice.
And for the praise and flattery of this guy. William took a little heav, but didn't take it seriously. (To be continued.) )
