Chapter 69 The war continues

"Today's attack is nothing more than a firepower observation. "Lady Sudan Fatima said www.biquge.info "And the troops sent are insignificant army regiments. ”

Although Fatima didn't say what happened next, the meaning was clear to everyone - that is, a cannon fodder unit like this would have no problem no matter how many people died.

It doesn't matter if all of these guys are dead. New armies will be formed in the shortest possible time. Then fill the army of dark elves. As long as they can defeat the powerful enemy of William von Hereford, even if all the cannon fodder troops are killed, and even half of the main forces of the Dark Elves are killed, it will not be a problem!

As long as you can beat William, it's fine.

"And then that's the big thing. ”

With the order of the female Sudan Fatima, the army of dark elves quickly organized a night attack.

It was not like in Ruthenia before, when he would take out the treasure-like dark elf troops in a desperate situation, but made a choice at the first time.

It doesn't matter how many dark elves die, as long as they can win the war against William.

And just like that, after just enduring a whole day of fierce battles. At night, the fighters at the front were not at peace.

Although William had already made a lot of arrangements in advance. For example, more torches were set up, and the army rotated to rest. Put the army that has fought fiercely today on the second line, and put the fresh army on the first line to resist the night attack of the enemy who may be coming.

However, things were still a little worse than William had imagined.

The skin color problem, the dark elves who blended into the night, their already extremely clever combat power was further increased.

Under the assault of these guys who are not afraid of death, the first-line defense of the Hereford family is in full emergency.

If the Hereford family's expeditionary force was a medieval army, then now William could declare defeat.

Because of the general malnutrition of the troops in the Middle Ages, almost ninety percent of the people suffered from some degree of night blindness, which is commonly known as the blindfold of the finch.

Ninety percent of the army could not see anything when it got dark. With such an army, to fight against the army of dark elves with dark vision, it is simply to die yourself.

In fact, in the previous hundreds of years, the dark elves were often able to defeat the strong by the weak, and even played a terrifying exchange ratio of tens to one, because of their terrifying night attack ability.

Not now, though.

Nowadays, regardless of other armies, at least the Hereford family's army has basically developed the concept of army nutrition. Even if they are fighting on the outer front, they are in occupied areas thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers away from their own territory. However, it can still ensure the nutritional balance of your army.

Under these conditions, the logistics of the Hereford Family Expeditionary Force were even better than the logistics line was much shorter than their Dark Elves.

The Hereford family, who have taken over the entire prairie, is by no means short of meat. The trace elements in the internal organs of animals, especially the vitamins in the liver, were enough to ensure that the Hereford family army did not suffer from night blindness.

At the same time, cooperation with the Zoroastrian Empire was one of the reasons for ensuring logistical supplies.

Although there are many people who do not look down on the strength of the Zoroastrian Empire. But in any case, the Zoroastrian Empire was still an "empire". It has a large number of people and a large amount of farmland and products.

Now, after cooperating with the Zoroastrian Empire, the eastern part of the empire has been removed from the area controlled by Nadir Shah, and the central and western parts of the empire have barely resumed operation, and a large amount of supplies, especially fresh vegetables, have been continuously transported to the front line. For the use of the Hereford Expeditionary Force.

In this case, the soldiers of the Hereford family had almost no poor fellows suffering from night blindness.

If you can't see your fingers, and the clouds cover the starlight, it may be a bit of a chance. But the weather today is quite good. The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, plus the torches. Therefore, the reinforcements who rushed to hear the news almost immediately discovered those dark elf troops.

And then there was a fierce battle.

The heroic posture of the dark elves braving artillery fire and charging with scimitars and bayonet guns is impressive. Even the most elite Praetorian Cavalry had to admit that no army would be a match for the Dark Elves when fighting at night.

Originally, some generals and officers had asked whether to use the same fire oil tactics used in the previous Ruthenian campaign. William thought about it for a moment and decided that it could be used as a record.

The Zoroastrian Empire was an oil-producing country. The oil reserves in the ground are very abundant. Poured large quantities of raw oil into the trenches, and could turn entire trenches into a huge sea of fire at any time.

In this case, the expeditionary force of the Hereford family was inherently invincible.

It's just a pity, it seems that it is because of the previous loss, so I have experience. After a dash of killing, the dark elves quickly smelled something was wrong.

Although partially masked by the smell of blood. However, the taste of crude oil is still stronger than that of refined oil oil.

After smelling this pungent smell, the dark elves immediately retreated.

Eat a trench and grow wise, the dark elves are also a race that is very good at learning and summarizing experience.

In this way, the front positions of the Hereford family were broken in two, and thousands of new annexes and Cossack troops were killed. In fact, the number of casualties among the regular army was also quite high. But because of the timely retreat, the actual losses were not much. And because of the existence of the chaplain corps, the vast majority of casualties can be recovered.

However, even so, the situation was still not in favor of the Hereford family's army.

The death of more than 3,000 soldiers in total is also a bit of a pain in the flesh for the Hereford family, which has an army of hundreds of thousands. But more importantly, the onslaught of the dark elves day and night has hit the morale of the Hereford family expeditionary force to a certain extent.

This gives them the illusion that the enemy is strong and we are weak.

It's bad, even very bad. For those new annexes, the strength of the enemy and the weakness of the enemy mean that they need to shuffle their sides again.

It's not even evenly matched.

That's what these bastards are, very, very, very bastards. This is true in every sense of the word. If the situation is evenly matched, this group of bastards will have fifty percent of the idea of changing the court, and if the enemy is strong and I am weak, it will increase to seventy percent. Or even ninety percent.

Only when the enemy is weak and I am strong, these guys will feel at ease and show their loyalty to William in a proper manner, even if William their wife, they will shout that it is good, it is wonderful, it is a little harder or something.

This group of nomads on the steppe is one of the most shameless, practical, and wind-wielding populations in the world.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the new army of hundreds of thousands of nomads under his command. William had to launch a counter-offensive to attack the enemy's line and win to show the bastards his strength.

And the time was set for daylight the next day.

In this way, when the dark elves were discussing with each other how to fight today's attack, they received a surprising report.

That is, William's army took the initiative to attack them.

"It's very new. "The female Sudan Fatima felt that something was wrong in her heart. But when he thought about it, he still showed a look full of confidence, and said to the generals under his command: "The enemy can't even win the battle of defense, but he dares to attack us." I'm really impatient.

However, just when the generals were laughing and responding to the words of the female Su Dan, the bad news came.

William's army mobilized more than 200 cavalry artillery pieces at great speed, and then concentrated these artillery pieces and destroyed several fortifications in a short time.

A large number of Ottoman troops were bombarded into cannon fodder without finishing the formation and preparing the formation.

The lower-ranking officers tried desperately to prepare these troops, but to no avail. The guys were in a state of confusion and panic, almost completely out of control.

After that, the cavalry of the Hereford family charged at them.

Their strongholds were almost completely destroyed and could not be used for protection at all. The musketeers who rushed to the front opened fire with full firepower, and the continuous fire of revolvers and carbines crushed the enemy who had barely formed in the shortest possible time.

Then there was a large group of cuirassiers, Cossack cavalry, and a group charge of the new nomadic annexes.

Sabres, rifles, sabers, scimitars. In the roar of rage, they were crushed, trampled, stabbed, stabbed to death, and their heads or limbs cut off...... A full five battalions, that is, five entire regiments of troops, completely collapsed in such a very short time.

When the dark elves of the other camps, the Ottoman army, understood what was happening and organized reinforcements to prepare to attack the army of the Hereford family, the army of the Hereford family had disappeared in the shortest possible time like locusts.

Only stumps and severed arms remained, as well as the ruins of several barracks.

In this way, a short raid of more than two hours, led by cavalry artillery, followed by a fierce bombardment by musketeers and cavalry groups. Crush the enemy in the shortest possible time.

Such a classic cavalry battle was presented in front of the warring parties.

This classic cavalry raid killed and wounded at least 5,000 Ottoman legionary infantry in one go. It can be seen from this. Those who slandered William for only using infantry units and knew nothing about cavalry warfare were all talking.

Hearing the news, the female Sudan Fatima who hurried over, the last thing she saw was this mess and the unbridled laughter of the troops behind the palace of the expeditionary force who left at the end.

She knew exactly what that laughter meant. Those expeditionary soldiers were laughing at their enemies, at their clumsy movements, their clumsy reactions, their clumsy ways of fighting.

The female Sudan Fatima has an iron complexion.
