Chapter 90 can be called a magnificent sentinel battle

That's pretty much it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There is a reason why infantry who are not sufficiently trained are called cannon fodder.

Because in this kind of "battle", in this era when the so-called trenches have not yet been invented, in the plain terrain without shelter infantry units under the unobstructed bombardment of large artillery groups, there will be no other possibility than to be wiped out.

The artillery of both sides thus delightfully turned infantry company after company into scum of no use. However, more companies still seemed to be all the same, listening to the small drums beaten by the military musicians, stepping on the drums, and marching towards the battlefield or hell with their heads held high. Or rather, a hellish battlefield march.

When you have too many human resources on hand to the point that you can't use them up, it will almost happen, something like this.

Through a telescope, watch the scene. The woman on the other side let out such an emotion. Then, without hesitation, he gave more orders that would make his army smoother and kill more enemies.

In between the artillery bombardment, a cavalry regiment launched a counter-charge against the enemy.

Unlike the previous counter-offsets, this was a typical cavalry regiment of the Dark Elves. Sponsored by the citizens of the Dark Elves from the south, formerly ruled by the Ottoman Empire.

The armament of these guys has also undergone a certain reform. The crossbow was abandoned in favor of a revolver, and the armor was replaced with the heavier three-quarter plate armor to the most extensive plate armor currently worn by the Russian Gothic cavalry. Of course, the horses they are equipped with are still black horses from the Anatolian plateau. The speed and impact are very strong. It's just that the staying power is not very good - such an army has a bit of a daredevil's stood. And that's exactly what happened.

If you can die a little more, then the Goths of the Russian Gothic Empire will die less, and you can make the fusion of Ottomans faster.

It's fun to think about, isn't it?

- After being killed by Visigothic artillery, the Dark Elf cavalry still rushed into the infantry group, and then began a mad slaughter.

These twisted, bloody, and brutal murderous guys have not changed much even after joining the Empire.

Hatred for the Empire, fear for the Emperor, and thoughts about his own future, etc.

This series of negative emotions eventually created one of the craziest armies in the world.

After using all the bullets in both revolvers as fast as they could, they did not turn around and retreat like ordinary Imperial cavalry. Instead, they chose to go on the offensive. As if they had gone berserk, they continued to move forward, wielding their most traditional and at the same time best weapon to use, the scimitar, desperately slashing at the enemies on the opposite side.

Unlike the usual one-armed knives of the Russian Gothic cavalry. These crazy Dark Elf warriors are usually armed with swords - they are usually over two hundred years old, and each of them has almost more combat skills and swordsmanship than the best warriors in the human race.

Until then, humanity can still use technological superiority, as well as tactical superiority, to gain an advantage on the battlefield against the dark elves.

But now, these dark elves, equipped with the latest weapons made by humans and using the most "scientific" cavalry tactics of mankind, are no longer able to be cured.

It's just a cavalry regiment, just an attack. However, the results are eye-popping.

In just over half an hour, these crazy dark elf cavalry directly destroyed half of the legion.

Six regiments of infantry and one regiment of cavalry were cut to the ground by them as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. Half of them were regular troops who had experienced enough of the war, not those who had been drafted on the fly.

It's quite scary to look at.

In particular, when they had completed their mission, they did not turn and flee back, even though by that time their strength was less than three hundred, and almost all of them were wounded. However, they laughed wildly, and in the tide of the Visigoths, a wave that was not small. After that, it fell silent.

After the fall of his own empire and the fact that his two monarchs became the toys of the great emperor. The Dark Elves' already extreme personalities seem to have become even more extreme, and they have a very strong tendency to self-destruct.

What effect this trend had on the empire is unknown. But at least for now, this group of crazy warriors has really shaken the hearts of the Visigoths. Let the excitement of these fanatical revolutionaries be slightly lowered.

After all, this group of guys looks quite powerful, and more importantly, this group of guys is quite not afraid of death...... In this case, fighting these guys, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a good decision.

However......

"This is this group of evil Russian goths!"

Of course, they are not out of the question.

"They are in collusion with the evil enemies of humanity. Come and slaughter us, who also belong to humanity!"

"They're damned!"

Although there are various logical loopholes. But under the official propaganda, the Visigoths continued, becoming fanatical and crazy.

Maybe they want to grab some dark elves to wrap chrysanthemums after defeating them?

But that kind of thing doesn't matter. What matters is still the attack of the entire legion of the opposing party.

The soldiers moved forward regardless of casualties. It put a lot of pressure on the Imperial Army.

-- Artillery -- Organ cannon -- rifled guns with higher range -- Hunters -- Musket salvo -- Throwing grenades.

Usually in the Russian Gothic Empire, such an all-round firepower that covered the entire distance segment. The vast majority of armies usually fail to even rush before they are crushed by the firepower.

However, it was different for these revolutionaries in their frenzy. These guys are terrible. Although their combat effectiveness is debatable, their resilience and morale are higher than most of the enemies of the Russian Gothic Empire.

It was with these two magic weapons that they were able to happily advance in front of the impenetrable line of defense of the Russian Gothic Empire - forward, forward, forward. Even if only the last man left in the entire company would still have to advance. Desperately advance and then kill the enemy. Or be killed by the enemy.

-- In the Russian Gothic Empire, there was currently no army equipped with machine guns, except for the Praetorian Guard.

In the era when there were no machine guns, no matter how dense and powerful the firepower was, it was still impossible to achieve the level of annihilating all the enemies in the future in the era of defense.

In fact, this was true even when the war had developed into the era of the First World War. Hand-to-hand combat is still an important part of warfare.

Not to mention in this day and age.

Inspired by the republic's army, they broke through the firepower of the Russian Gothic Empire.

In the contest between gun bullets and meat bullets. In the contest between the density of firepower and the density of the soldiers of the army who are impacting. In the end, it was the latter who won. The battle then began, and it went to the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

As more and more soldiers joined the hand-to-hand combat. The battle loss ratio between the two sides is finally getting better - the assassination tactics of the professional soldiers of the Russian Gothic Empire are very good. Battles in the trenches are also often simulated.

At the same time, the combat sappers equipped with sharp steel sapper shovels are also an excellent help - but this still does not change the fact.

That is, the number of enemies is simply too many.

Cut down a pile of enemies, and then there was a company, and one company was destroyed, and then there was an infantry regiment. Then a brigade, and finally a corps.

The Visigothic army, consisting of a large number of mobilized soldiers, almost overwhelmed the lines of the Reich.

That's it. Freya, the commander of the Imperial Army, gritted her teeth and calculated the strength in her hands, especially the cavalry troops.

Prior to this, when the enemy attacked several times in a row, in the end, he sent cavalry troops to relieve the siege. However, it was precisely because of such a large number of uses that the losses of the cavalry units reached a very staggering figure.

This is also the reason why she had no choice but to invest in such an important battle with an "unreliable" army like the Dark Elves. Otherwise, the Dark Elf troops under her command are usually assigned to more mundane, even light, and minor tasks. They simply will not be thrown into such an important war.

It's just that now, even the cavalry of the dark elves can't be used.

Gritted his teeth. In the end, she still didn't make a choice - she chose to send troops to relieve the siege.

She watched as the Visigothic army eventually overwhelmed her second line of defense. Watch them chop down the temperament of the empire. Then the tricolor, which they called the representative of freedom, was raised high.

"These bastards. ”

Having lost two lines of defense in a row, the army of the Russian Gothic Empire had lost nearly 15,000 men. Occupy a quarter of the total force under her command.

If the war continues to develop in this direction, then the final result is probably ......

"But even if it'......"

In the loud cheers of the enemy on the opposite side. Freya clenched her fists tightly.

She won't give up no matter what. Whether it is for the country, for the family, or for herself, she will not give up.

"I still have enough troops. More than forty thousand of the most elite Imperial soldiers gathered around me. I have enough resources. I also have the world's most powerful empire behind me. I'm on the defensive side and have a defensive advantage. ”

She went over all her strengths and regained her self-confidence.

And, slightly, lowered his own strategic intentions by one level.

I didn't expect it a little. Unexpectedly, the enemy's weaponry was upgraded - the damned group of Britons - and in this case, the attempt to defeat the enemy by relying solely on their own vanguard army and then annexing the Visigoths seemed to be incomplete.

Then, as William thought, as long as he could hold Lotternia and Franconia.

In the end, the most important thing is to leave it to the emperor.

"That's it, albeit helpless. But that's all I can do. She thought to herself.
