Chapter 473: Breaking In
At this time, Ye Junwen was also a little confused, yes, he had already set off with his troops to the decisive battle site at night, after a night of hurrying, they had approached the battlefield, but at this time they also saw the people sent by Gove's side, and the other party said that Gove's troops had arrived at the battlefield in the early hours of the morning, and now it was estimated that they were already going to fight with the enemy's troops, and Gove asked him to come, of course, so that Ye Junwen's troops could arrive quickly.
This time was much earlier than Ye Junwen expected, of course, Ye Junwen had no choice but to let the troops march in a hurry and rush all the way to the decisive battle site, and finally arrived at the position in advance when it was close to noon. However, after a whole night of hurrying, Ye Junwen's troops were also a little tired.
At this time, Ye Junwen was already able to receive the battle situation in front of him, and the current situation was really very unfavorable to them, but it seemed that Gove's side could hold out for a while. So Ye Junwen also ordered his troops to quickly repair, adjust the state, and then wait for the opportunity to join the war.
What he didn't expect happened, just when Ye Junwen's troops were resting here, an on-demand unit inexplicably bumped into their arms. Yes, of course, this is the cavalry sent by Monterey, they made a detour from the northwest to break into the battlefield according to the request of their marshal, but they are not very familiar with the terrain here, and after a little detour in the mountain road here, they did not expect to see such a large force after walking out of a valley.
Both sides were stunned for a long time, and after looking at each other for a while, Ye Junwen was the first to react and immediately ordered an attack. At this time, the weapons of the troops on their side, especially the modern troops, were ready, after all, they were preparing to break into the battlefield before, and now when they heard Ye Junwen's order, they began to set up machine guns on the spot, and the other infantry also immediately lined up and raised their guns.
The cavalry commander on the opposite side also reacted, although he didn't know where this unit came from, but it was obviously the enemy's troops, and the equipment of the soldiers on both sides was obviously different, this was the enemy, but I didn't know where the reinforcements came from, so what else to say, fight, the enemy is in front of the infantry, what is there to be afraid of, and it can still block the charge of their cavalry.
However, what they didn't expect was that they were greeted by machine gun and automatic rifle bullets, and like the troops who had never seen this kind of weapon before, they had no idea how efficient these killing weapons were at killing people, and in the case of their frontal charge, they were simply live targets.
The first person to be set on fire was their cavalry commander, and the other party was dressed too obviously, proper general, do you say that you can not be set on fire? The soldiers in the front row swept directly, and the cavalry commander here was shot dozens of times, and was directly beaten into a hole, and fell off his horse and was trampled into a pulp by the troops behind.
The commander died when he saw it, and the rest of the soldiers were also directly out of their minds, and they didn't know what to do, according to the commander's final order, that is, to charge, so they could only rush. The result, of course, was that under the crossfire of machine guns and automatic rifles, these cavalrymen of course had little resistance, and were basically beaten into a hornet's nest. The huge sound shocked these war horses everywhere, there was no way to charge properly, and the last group of people were blocked at the foot of the mountain and swept wildly, and the cavalry team was directly wiped out, and the whole battle was over in only ten minutes.
"Is this still directly delivered?" Ye Junwen looked at these dead soldiers, they estimated that they didn't know what the situation was in the end, after all, they had never faced these modern killing weapons.
"This is the enemy's surprise force." The deputy marshal next to him, Edlang came up and said, recently this deputy marshal has been living a very nourishing life under Ye Junwen's aura, because Ye Junwen almost does not stay in the barracks, although he is the deputy marshal, but he is basically the number one in the army, this is almost eighty years old and the second spring of his life, of course he is still very grateful to Ye Junwen.
Next to Edlang is another man, and that is his fifth son, 46-year-old Marcelo. Edron. He is the most capable one in Edlang's family, didn't Ye Junwen say that he wanted to find a fierce general or something, Edlang thought about it and remembered his youngest son, so it was better to recommend others than to recommend his own son, so he also quickly recommended it to Ye Junwen. Ye Junwen tried it a little, this guy named Marcelo does have some strength, at least he let several other generals fight with him, Marcelo can fight three of them, and the other party's size is indeed the material for being a fierce general, so he also agreed, and now he and his father are in the situation of father-son soldiers.
Of course, this is also the first time Marcelo has seen the power of modern weapons, although he has seen it in the barracks before, but it is only the effect of training, shooting targets and shooting people are completely two concepts, especially seeing the picture of rows of cavalry falling in front of him, Marcelo couldn't say anything surprised. This has had an impact on his outlook on life, originally he thought that he would just exercise his martial arts and make himself strong, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, and the martial arts will be defeated by a single shot, and it seems that he will learn the use of this new weapon in the future.
Of course, due to insufficient equipment now, most of the soldiers of the First and Second Legions are not modern troops, so Marcelo can still command, but then he feels that Ye Junwen will definitely make this legion completely become a modern legion, and when the time comes, he will still be just a fierce general who can only slash and kill, it is estimated that it will be useless, and he will definitely work hard in this direction.
"Is the artillery camp erected?" Ye Junwen asked, because the mountains in the northwest are condescending and a good place for artillery bombardment, of course Ye Junwen arranged the artillery unit here, of course, the artillery is transported separately, and it takes time to erect and debug.
"Almost, the erection has already been erected, and it still needs to be adjusted." Edlong replied. The soldiers are very proficient in the training of artillery erection, so the speed of erection is also very fast.
"It's so loud, I can't hide it, let's take the stage." Ye Junwen nodded and said.
"Yes, Marshal." Edron nodded, then blew the horn, and the troops officially appeared.
And seeing this unit that suddenly appeared in the northwest, the situation on the battlefield also changed immediately. Judging from the armor and banners, this was the troops of the Saint-Willan Empire, and in an instant, the morale of Gove's troops was greatly boosted.
"It's reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived!" The soldiers immediately shouted, originally they still had doubts about whether there would be reinforcements, after all, this may have been made up by Goff to motivate them, but now that they really saw the reinforcements coming, they were relieved and their morale was restored.
Of course, the troops of the Saigus Empire on the opposite side are panicking, and the number of enemy reinforcements seems to be quite large, so this time it will be dangerous. And what kind of sound did they hear just now, that terrifying sound seemed to come from the place where the reinforcements appeared, what did the other party use, this unknown horror made them all a little panicked. And what they didn't know was that one of their cavalry units had been wiped out by Ye Junwen and them.
The soldiers didn't know, but Monterey knew it. Although I don't know what the voice just came from, my cavalry unit is estimated to be more than lucky, otherwise what would happen to the enemy's reinforcements at this time. Monterey's heart tightened, this situation was beyond his expectation, and the enemy troops actually rushed out of the main city and came here to support...... No, it's not.
Monterey thought about it, something was wrong, yes, although the main city was quite close to here, but it was also a day's journey, if the enemy received the news and came again, it would not be possible to appear so quickly, the other party should have set off a day ago, that is to say...... This is a ploy of the enemy, and Gove deliberately lured them here?
"Damn!" Monterey felt as if he had been tricked, but when he looked at the number of enemy troops, yes, at most 100,000, plus Gove's troops did not seem to have as many as theirs, they were not inferior in numbers, although they lost a cavalry team, but the battle was not impossible to fight.
"Attack, send troops to reinforce the right flank." Monterey immediately ordered.
However, just as he gave the order, Ye Junwen's troops had already begun to attack. At the head of the pack was still the modern troops, and a group of men rushed forward with automatic rifles, followed by men from the machine gun platoon, ready to set up machine guns in front.
It was still the same situation, in the face of this weapon that had never been seen before, the troops of the Saigus Empire were powerless to resist at all, and a shuttle of bullets swept over, and the soldiers fell down in rows, unable to stop the impact of Ye Junwen's troops at all.
At the same time, the sound of artillery on the mountain behind him sounded, although it was only a test firing, but the current situation can kill people wherever it hits. Of course, what Ye Junwen asked them to aim at was the rear row of the enemy army, no matter how they fought, they could blow up a bunch of enemy soldiers, who let them line up the troops so neatly, this ancient military formation is a food delivery in front of modern range weapons.
Ye Junwen's troops broke through the troops on the right flank of Monterey's side in an instant with lightning speed, and they didn't even arrive at the rear troops that supported them, and the right flank could no longer withstand it. Seeing this, Gove's side also hurriedly ordered all troops to attack and rush in through the enemy's gap.
Monterey was really stunned, and the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, leaving him completely unreactive. This is also a shortcoming of ancient warfare, the speed of the order is too slow, the adjustment of this unit can't keep up with the rhythm at all, if there is any walkie-talkie radio, maybe he can adjust it immediately, of course, he can't have these things, watching his right wing collapse, but he has nothing to do, there are only three words in his heart "it's over".
