582. Chapter 582 - A Pleasant Experience for a Combat Sapper

It's a breeze, it's a breeze. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info is basically a breeze. After William commanded the lancers to kill the flintlock pikemen, who had been so easily put together, there was good news from other places around the enemy, and the other outlying camps of the enemy were either breached, or they fled on their own initiative, or they simply surrendered. The guys who have the courage to summon up the courage to fight against the sudden, vicious and vicious Hereford family army are only a few. More guys are still bad breeds.

That's it. The army of conquerors wiped out the vast majority of the enemy on the periphery. After that, only the main force of the enemy remained, that is, the army formed by mixing the Praetorian Guard and the New Army.

Just like William thought. In such chaos in the outside world, there is no confusion in these elite armies.

The guys were first calmly armed, and then, under the orders of the officers, they were ready for battle as quickly as possible. Second, it was their commander who did not immediately lead these armies to aid any of the four legions on the periphery.

Just like he thought, in this case, the guys who are not strong-willed and have insufficient combat effectiveness, in the face of a sudden blow, will definitely fall into chaos. In this case, if they go to the aid of these guys, there is a good chance that they will be brought into rhythm by the enemy and thrown into chaos.

So in this case, the most important thing to do is not to help. Certainly not an escape. If you open a formation and fight the enemy, your army is too small and the line is not long enough, and you will still be surrounded by the enemy and then destroyed.

Therefore, the most important thing he should do in the face of an army of 15,000,000 and 250,000 is to send an envoy to tell the great Sutan Fatima everything that is happening here, hoping that she will be able to send an army to relieve the siege.

The second is to hold on to this stronghold. With the combat effectiveness of his elite troops, coupled with morale and supplies, he held out until the main force arrived.

When the time comes, if the other party retreats, then there is no need to say anything. If the other party insists on not retreating, then it is impossible for him to cooperate with the outside and destroy all the enemies, and then make meritorious contributions and become the hero of the dark elf clan!

Thinking of this, the commander was very excited. He checked his camp again and made sure there was nothing wrong with itβ€”it was a fort of solid timber that he had recently built with his men and the sub-troops.

It's very sturdy and very sturdy. In addition to the necessary musketeers, there was a large artillery defense. Although not as strong as those fortified cities and fortresses. It is not as good as the most popular fortress now, but with his elite troops, sufficient supplies, and strong garrison, he feels that it is no problem to defend it for a month or two.

However, things were quite different from what he had in mind.

"Uh-huh. did not run away or send troops to help, but chose to hold on. This commander is still a bit level. After learning of the situation, William quickly let out such an emotion.

But that's about it.

"Do you want to use artillery?" asked Shalumi excitedly beside William. The older this guy gets, the more he likes to fight. This time, he also rushed to the front line with the Praetorian Guards. Seeing more heads cut off than William. It's just that the strength is not William's opponent. This made her feel very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do.

"No, you don't. William shook his head, and then said, "If you use artillery now, it will still make the other party suspicious." Other words. After thinking about it for a while, William made a decision: "Send the battle sappers." ”

"Combat sappers?" Hearing William say this, Charlumi showed a rather distressed expression. The main reason is that the existence of these combat sappers is completely inconsistent with Charlumi's thoughts.

If these guys are very weak, forget it. However, after the previous wars, it was generally accepted that the combat sappers were an elite infantry unit like those chasseurs. Their combat effectiveness is greater than that of the average private.

This made Charlumi find it a little hard to accept. That's why when William mentioned this class, she showed such a strange expression.

But Charlumi is not a guy who doesn't understand anything, just knows how to do things. Although she didn't like the attributes of this class, it seemed strange to her - of course, in fact, Xia Lumi's idea also represented the thoughts of many people in the traditional army.

William didn't have any idea about it, though. Well, yes, as long as you can kill your enemies more, faster, and less easily, and let yourself win, then nothing is not allowed. That's what William thought in his heart.

And so, when the enemy thought they could hold out for a month, or even longer, the Hereford family, with the Combat Engineer Regiment as the vanguard, launched an attack on them.

As I said before, William basically did not use artillery, and the number of guns put into service in this war was only fifty. It's just that it can barely suppress the opponent's artillery firepower.

Moreover, these guns did not use the latest picric acid explosives. Instead, solid bullets continued to be used. So basically, these shells are thunder and rain, and they don't cause much damage to the other side.

While the artillery units of the Hereford family were bombarding, the Ottoman dark elf artillery was also trying to fight back. Although their artillery is older, old and clumsy. However, with the relatively good technology of the Dark Elf artillery, it can still pose a certain threat to the army of the Hereford family.

It's just a pity that these guys got the wrong person. They placed their first target on the artillery positions of the Hereford family. Then the second target was placed on the cannon fodder troops that were slowly advancing in dense formations - that is, the new annexes. William saw them as the main force in this war.

As for the combat sappers in front of the new annexes, who were advancing in a straggler formation, these guys were not very afraid. They seem to think that the combat sappers are the famous chasseurs of the Hereford family.

Although the lethality of these troops is good, it is because the number is too small. And the attacks are almost piecemeal, not like artillery, organ cannons, or musket salvos, lancer charges, with shocking power, so many countries, many military researchers are not optimistic about this type of troops.

In fact, at present, except for the large-scale equipment, training and deployment of the Hereford family's chasseur troops, most other countries regard this type of military as an optional decoration. This idea is a bit like the time when grenades were not cylindrical with wooden handles, but round bombs.

The grenadiers at that time were in the same position as privates now. It was only now, after the Hereford family had massively assembled hand grenades and demonstrated their incredible power in war, that other countries began to research and manufacture such weapons.

Therefore, the commanders of the dark elves don't care too much about these classes whose combat effectiveness is actually not high, and the deterrent effect is greater than the actual effect (self-righteousness), and let these guys get close. They take it for granted that even if they get close, they can take them out with a volley of flintlock pistols.

Some commanders even thought it was too much of a waste of ammunition, considering that they would be holding out here for a month, if not longer. They think it's best to let it go. Even if these guys shoot, it's not a big deal to shoot some soldiers.

Soon, however, they realized that they were wrong.

At the beginning, the combat sappers thought that they were going to suffer heavy losses in this war, but they did not expect that they would reach the target range without danger. Quite a few combat sappers were surprised. Immediately afterward, there was a feeling of anger that the enemy had slighted me. In this situation, they quickly made the decision to teach these bastards who had eyes and did not know Tarzan a lesson.

These guys just like that, pulled out their weapons-****. Then he rushed to the edge of the wooden wall, drilled holes in it with a steel drill, and then put the **** in.

"What the hell are these guys doing? They don't think they're going to break the parapet like this, do they?"

"Who knows what the hell these guys are up to. "That's it, these guys laughed a little bit and didn't take the actions of the combat sappers seriously at all. It wasn't until the sappers ran away that they realized that something was wrong.

It's just a pity that it's too late.

After a few earth-shattering explosions, **** blew up a huge gap, blasting those hard hardwood parapets, along with the gun emplacements and artillery on the parapets, as well as a large number of Janissary Dark Elves and New Army War Machine soldiers. After such an attack, the gap appeared.

"What, what's going on?!" the dark elves almost dazed. Before they could react, a large number of nomadic new annexes followed these gaps and roared and killed them. Behind them, the battle sappers took ******** explosives and laughed wildly and continued to throw them to provide fire support to the new annexed soldiers......

In this way, the war developed into an extremely unfavorable situation for the dark elves in an instant.
