Basically that's it, in the next battles, more Frisian infantry regiments joined the battle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Info coalition side also transferred the Franconian army little by little. It was replaced by a more advanced and capable Frisian army.

At the same time, the Emperor's two elite Praetorian Guard regiments were also struck - it was from the new army of Frisia - and it was previously stated that Frisia had more than 5,000 flintlock pikemen, almost three times the number of the Imperial army.

Under the attack of the Imperial Fusiliers + Foot Knights, the Coalition lost a lot of troops - an infantry regiment with flintlock pistols and extra-long spears that had been sent to the front in advance collapsed under the attack of the elite Praetorian Guard.

The collapse of the infantry regiment was a pain in the flesh for General John Churchill - although he had not seen these "new armies" in action, he had clearly seen the advantages and benefits of flintlock pistols in previous combat exercises.

Shooting was faster, simpler and safer than arquebuses - few of the older arquebusiers had good manpower. More or less there are some scars from the fire - they are all mistakes in the use of the fire rope.

Therefore, General John Churchill was well aware that in the future, the bayonet could replace the extra-long gun, but he was sure that the flintlock would certainly be able to replace the arquebus as a new standard weapon.

These new flintlock muskezeers can be said to be seeds, so to speak, expectations for the future. It is not in the interest of the kingdom to let these guys die too much...... It's just that......

"Damn, why is there such an army of bastards. "General John Churchill at that time, when he looked at those elite Janissaries of the Empire, his mood was very complicated.

As an army general from an aristocratic family. General John Churchill could also see that the members of the two infantry regiments were from noble knightly families. He admired the tactics and skill of these people. I feel that in this era, I can see such a pure, noble army.

But as the commander of a hostile army, he was filled with hatred and jealousy of these two infantry regiments, which had just been suppressed by the firing of their own troops by virtue of their flintlock pistols, which were sixty percent more than his own. Then another charge easily destroyed their own flintlock rifles, the ultra-pikemen infantry regiment, killing nearly 800 soldiers.

Take advantage of this opportunity as well. They began to turn and attack the companies on either side of the gap - under such a flanking attack, their own front was faintly showing signs of collapse.

Seeing this, General John Churchill had to use a hole card first. A regiment of cuirassiers rushed towards the open gap at his command—but then a regiment of cuirassiers also rushed out of the Imperial army. The elite cavalry units of both sides fought fiercely around this gap.

Watch as these valiant cavalrymen entire companies disappear into that gap. The commanders on both sides were unresponsive - no, nor can they be said to be unresponsive. The commanders of both sides ordered their respective artillery units to launch artillery strikes aimed at the gap.

Hundreds of Imperial artillery fired a salvo, and then the Imperial cuirassiers and elite Praetorian Guards took advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack. At the same time, the artillery of the coalition forces also began to bombard the charging Imperial troops...... Soon, the gap was filled with mutilated corpses, pieces of flesh, and even pulp......

In the process, the coalition forces stabilized their positions and retreated a little more, finally filling the gap...... In this way, this round of the offensive of the Imperial Army was declared a failure. Several elite Praetorian Guard companies, as well as half a cuirassier regiment, and more than twice as many ordinary infantrymen died in the gap. And the number of coalition troops they killed was 1.5 times their own losses.

Thousands of soldiers were corpses in just half an hour. The scene was quite powerful – but it was just the beginning.

Then, the two sides continued to attack each other, attack, and shell. The Coalition and Imperial armies, each with a powerful artillery cluster, maintained the pattern just now, and after bombarding with a powerful artillery group, they used cavalry to carry out a surprise attack. The infantry then followed, hoping to tear through the opponent's defenses in order to crush the enemy.

Both sides alternate such, very similar tactics. But all of them were declared null and void - no, not by saying. Except for the first round, which relied on the elite Praetorian Guard to gain a certain advantage, the rest of the battle ended in defeat for the Imperial Army.

In terms of technology, in the quality of artillery, in the performance of artillery and in the number of guns, the Frisian-Briton army had an all-round superiority. A full fifty of the latest twelve-pounder guns were the most conspicuous army firepower of the war. With the help of these artillery, which used flowering shells, the Coalition forces were often able to open gaps in the Imperial lines more quickly. At the same time, the advantage of two more cavalry regiments than the Imperial Army also made the coalition army more calm and free in the use of cavalry.

After a few rounds of fighting each other like this, the Imperial army was severely weakened. Including one elite Praetorian Guard infantry regiment, six infantry regiments of the Empire were crushed, and another six suffered heavy losses. Nearly a third of the troops were lost. The front is also somewhat shaky.

At the time, Cheka agents who had been watching the war up close had this to say: "At that time, the Imperial troops were in the midst of a sea of corpses and blood of their allies, and the soldiers on the front lines shivered nervously every time they heard the roar of artillery. Because they knew that each such round of artillery volleys meant that one or three infantry companies would be removed. They didn't know if this bad luck would happen to them next, and they were terrified.

I don't see any other differences between the armies of the two sides, except for the more obvious differences in the effectiveness of the artillery. The vast majority of infantry units on both sides are still armed with arquebuses and extra-long guns. They were an insignificant old force, no threat to the great Hereford rulers. At the same time, I didn't see a single infantry armed with flintlock pistols, except for the elite units of flintlock pistols that were short-lived at the beginning.

Neither the Imperial Army, nor his enemies. They all withdrew their few flintlock units from the battlefield - no, the Coalition also had a mixed regiment of flintlock and extra-long guns to support them on the front line. This may be due to the fact that the Coalition forces have more flintlock musketeers than the Imperial Army. This also gave the coalition a slight advantage. Although only a little......

The few flintlock pipers were not as good as the Britons imagined. At the same time, it is also a problem that they continue to use the old tactics - their attacks are still dominated by ultra-long pikemen, and they do not have the concept of the great Hereford army stopping, defending and counterattacking, and building a multi-layered firepower network with multiple firepowers. The core of their tactics is still to move forward, placing their spearmen on the front line as fast as possible for hand-to-hand combat. It is conceivable that in this case, the real effect of the flintlock will not be fully exerted......

However, even so, the coalition still has the upper hand. What we can see is that the Imperial Army is already showing signs of defeat. What puzzled me was that the emperor still hadn't drawn troops from his third front to replenish the losses of his army. This baffles me.

Because anyone who has the ability to understand will make such a judgment after seeing this war. The Imperial Army will be defeated - they are still hindered by the fear of honor, spirit, or military law. But they have indeed been shaken. As long as the coalition forces carry out a few more attacks like this, weakening their forces to three-fifths, they will gradually crumble. If I were the commander of the coalition forces, I would launch a general offensive at this time. He sent out several cavalry regiments and two new infantry regiments with full bayonet flintlock pistols to win the battle in one fell swoop. ”

In this way, after seeing this information, William compared the information of the two armies at that time, and then agreed that the other party's opinion was correct.

In another piece of information, at this point in time, General John Churchill was indeed deploying his trump cards, including three cavalry regiments and two flintlock infantry regiments armed with sleeve bayonets. He couldn't wait to win the war.

It's just that......

In the real world, John Churchill would never have had the opportunity to give the order for a general attack.

Because he was defeated.

The reason for the defeat was not because he had insufficient troops, advanced weapons, and poor command ability. It's a very simple, very simple reason.

That's when his back road was attacked.

It was when the Imperial Army was becoming more and more powerless on the frontal battlefield that the third front of the coalition forces suffered a devastating blow. More than two thousand Carpathian hussars, as well as four infantry regiments of professional mercenary units, circled the enemy's rear and then launched a fierce attack.

As I said before, the coalition put all the troops he could fight on the first and second lines. The third front is mostly a rabble from Lotternia.

These troops were in disarray after being attacked from the flank. The rest of the game did little and collapsed without much resistance.

They collapsed so quickly that General John Churchill did not have enough time to adjust his forces. In fact, he tried very hard to turn some of his troops to the back and block the sudden appearance of the Imperial army...... But alas, he failed.

On the one hand, because of the interference of the nobles of Lotyria and the defeated army, on the other hand, it may also be because of his own surprise that he lost his sense of normalcy. All in all, John Churchill's command was greatly reduced. In the end, the coalition forces in the chaos were attacked from both sides and lost the battle shamefully.
