Chapter 269: Battle
"Knock knock" A few cannon shots rang out, and soon a white light appeared in the sky. Yes, it's still flares, the drill of the Terran troops is already very skilled, and the first thing to do when encountering the enemy at this time is to release the flares. Of course, the huge sound of cannons directly frightened the dwarven troops, although they have not heard the sound of modern artillery, but have they never eaten pork and never seen pigs run? The moment they heard the sound of the cannon, some of the dwarves were frightened and fell down on the spot to hide, but they were not shelled, but the sky suddenly brightened, and the dwarves who had never seen this scene were very surprised.
"Look at what? It's just a large-scale lighting magic! The general of the dwarven clan shouted directly, "Prepare to line up and attack!" ”
At this time, the dwarven troops were still in a state of confusion, and they were still not lined up, and the Terran troops had begun to advance, of course the general was a little anxious, after all, their combat concept was still like this, and the battle under this number was still more important, and the Terran troops who lined up first certainly had an advantage.
The dwarven troops were relatively elite, at least the time of formation was still very short, and after the initial confusion, gradually the non-commissioned officers of all classes began to organize their troops, and the soldiers soon began to find their own positions. However, as I said before, this way of fighting is too backward after all, in front of modern weapons, the neat formation is actually lining up to be shot, obviously the dwarves do not have this concept, just when they began to line up, the Terran troops have also advanced to the distance where they can start attacking.
"Set it up right here!" Ted is also experienced in combat now, and knows what position and distance are beneficial for them to fight. After an order, the people of the machine gun squad also quickly set up a temporary machine gun bunker on the high slope, after these days of training, the soldiers have a good understanding of these, and within a few minutes, the machine gun has been erected, and at this time the dwarves on the opposite side have already part of the formation has been lined up in array, and even the troops in front are ready to start advancing.
"The whole team has ...... Get ready...... Attack! With Ted's order, first of all, several cannons in the rear fired a salvo, and then the machine guns in the front row also spewed out tongues of fire, and in an instant, the flower of death woven by artillery fire and bullets bloomed in the dwarven troops, this sudden attack made these dwarven soldiers who had just lined up a little confused, and there was no warning at all, the troops in the front row began to fall, and there was a violent explosion in the rear.
"It can't be!" The general of the dwarf tribe was also stunned, yes, although he knew that there were weapons such as muskets on the human side, but he didn't expect that what he saw was this scene. They also have muskets, which they invented, and of course they know the characteristics of this thing, but the muskets used by the Terrans and the muskets they use don't seem to be the same thing.
Yes, just by listening to the voice, you can know it.,What is the sound of "da-da-da" in front of you?,He can't understand it at all, okay? What kind of musket can be fired at such a speed without reloading? How do you fill gunpowder? There is also the sound of artillery coming from a distance, just listening to the sound, you can know that this artillery is still a long distance away from them, how far is this opponent's artillery attacking? Why can you hit them at this distance, and is the power of this cannon too strong, how did it hit such a big explosion effect?
Everything seems to be subverting the common sense of the dwarven generals, which is completely incomprehensible. At this time, an idea appeared in the dwarven general's heart, that is, the muskets and cannons of the Terrans seemed to be more advanced than those of their dwarves. But this idea was immediately rejected by himself as soon as it appeared, how could this be possible, they were the great dwarves, they were the greatest craftsmen and blacksmiths in the whole continent, how could the things they make not be as good as the imitations made by the human race.
The Dwarven general refused to admit such a fact, even if it was already in front of him. Now is not the time to compare whose firearms are better, and he will not think about this matter for the time being, and quickly command his own troops. However, how to command, just when he was in a daze, the battle situation had already passed infinitely towards the Terran side.
Yes, the troops on both sides are not fighting at all, but a one-sided slaughter. Although the dwarves also have musket teams, they are still not the main force, and they themselves know the disadvantages of muskets, and if they want to completely let muskets replace traditional troops, they can't do it according to their skills at present, so the first to attack is still the ordinary infantry team.
Of course, these infantry teams are all live targets at the moment of machine guns, which are used by the machine gun squad here to practice shooting. There have been countless troops tested before, and it is impossible to rush over, if everyone scatters and charges, maybe there will be a chance, but the soldiers of the dwarf clan are all lined up, in order to maintain the formation, it is not a full speed charge, this is not a queue to shoot. After a few rounds of sweeping, the corpses of the soldiers in the front row directly turned into a natural barrier, delaying the advance of the soldiers in the rear even more.
Ted still has a rifle team waiting next to the machine gun squad, in case the enemy troops really get close, of course their rifle team will go up to help, but looking at the current situation, the enemy seems to be unable to rush at all, Ted also let the rifle team join the battle, and soon the sound of various guns sounded, and the dwarven troops fell even faster.
In such a vain battle, of course, soon the opposing troops will collapse on their own. Sure enough, the soldiers soon found out that they were simply sending them to death, that they couldn't touch the enemy at all, and that they were swept into a sieve before they got close. They are not afraid of war, but they give it away in vain...... Who did this? As the battle progressed, soon, the dwarven troops were chaotic again, the troops in the front row began to hesitate, and many soldiers began to prepare to retreat, which could not be fought anymore.
Obviously, the dwarven general in command also found out about this situation, although I don't know where the Terrans got such an artifact from, but the current battle situation is obviously tilted to the side of the Terrans, and the soldiers can't hold on.
"General, the situation is not good, why don't we retreat first." The adjutant next to him also said.
"Retreat...... "The dwarven general wants to retreat too, but the question is...... can this be withdrawn?" The enemy will definitely pursue them, and now their main force is still far away from them, and they will be chased all the way. Although so, but looking at the situation of the troops in front, this can't be fought at all, the troops in front have not rushed to the front of the enemy until now, they are completely sending ah, and even if they rush like this, they will be sent to death, there is really no way, they can only withdraw first.
"Retreat!" The dwarven general struggled for a while, but then gave the order. Soon, the dwarven troops also rang the retreat bell, hearing Mingjin, the hearts of the dwarf soldiers were also relieved, the rows of people in front of them fell down, they couldn't be afraid, but the dwarves have a team of supervisors, and of course they will die if they retreat, they can only continue to go up and send it, fortunately, now the general has ordered a retreat, otherwise they will all be sent here.
Now that they have retreated, of course, the remaining dwarven troops ran directly, this is not an ordinary run, if they retreat, there is still an enemy in front of them, and if they want to run, they have to run while fighting, and now in this situation, there is no one in front of them at all, there is no army to engage the battle, so after receiving the order, they directly threw down their weapons and turned around and ran away.
Of course, the Terrans also saw this situation very clearly, and Ted saw that the other party had begun to run away, and of course he continued to implement the tactics planned by Ye Junwen before. Yes, the tactics of the guns attacking first, then the cavalry attacking, and then the infantry harvesting, it seems that it is still invincible, but so far the cavalry has played the role of direct pursuit, and every time the enemy encounters the firearms unit, it has been beaten and collapsed, and there is no need for the cavalry to disperse the enemy.
With a wave of his hand, the prepared cavalry team was directly dispatched, although this force was only 20,000 people, but according to Ye Junwen's tactical configuration, the arms were quite complete, 5,000 gun troops, 5,000 cavalry, and 10,000 infantry. With Ted's order, the cavalry team went directly out and outflanked the enemy's rear, the purpose of course was to intercept the enemy's retreat, and the infantry team also began to prepare to advance, outflanking the enemy's troops in front and rear.
It's still the same situation, it's impossible for the dwarven troops to outrun the cavalry, they are not good at beasts, and the horses used by the Terrans are not suitable for them to ride at all, after all, they are short, so it is impossible to outrun the cavalry. Seeing the opposing cavalry team flanking towards their rear, the dwarven general was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.
"General, what should I do? If we continue like this, we will probably be wiped out. The adjutant here said anxiously.
"Abominable humans!" The general is also very anxious, but what can be done now, he doesn't know what to do, who knows that the enemy's combat effectiveness is so strong, it is beyond his imagination.
"That's right, elves! The elven forces are right next to us, and if they attack from the rear of the enemy, we will have a chance to leave, and we may be able to outflank and crush the enemy. The adjutant said suddenly.
"yes!" The general was also shocked, this is indeed a way, the human race seems to have no defense in the rear, if the elven troops help at this time, they may have a chance, so he also acted quickly, let a few good cronies behind him rush out and go to the camp of the elves.
