"The flanks, it's impossible to break through. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info front...... Although it was in a state of suppression, ...... "Seeing the battle situation on the front line, Count Warren on the other side was quite worried.

On this front, he had already lost two and a half cavalry regiments, as well as more than forty infantry companies. Nearly 7,000 troops were crushed and sunk in the sand. At the same time, the two regiments on the flanks were slackened, and those crippled companies could no longer go to the battlefield for the time being. Calculate, more than 10 thousand troops lost their combat effectiveness.

In addition, if you want to break through the defense line of the opponent's four infantry regiments, you will have to pay the price of at least three more infantry regiments losing their combat effectiveness.

But, of course, it is the morale setback that is more difficult to accept than the loss of troops.

Horror, horror, horror. Whether generals, officers or soldiers. The Visigothic alliance with Asturian forces could not accept this from top to bottom. Such a terrible enemy, they have never heard of, and they will never want to fight such an enemy.

"The loss of fifteen thousand men was contrasted with the killing of about fifteen hundred white regiments, as well as four ordinary infantry regiments...... That's the case. The gap between the forces of the enemy and us has been further narrowed. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Count Warren was anxious.

"Send the Fathers. Earl. It was at this time that such a voice came from Count Warren's side. Count Warren turned his head to look at it, and found that at some point, the officer he hated, a guy named Leo, ran to him again.

The sentence just now is obviously what he said.

“...... ...... of the Fathers Count Warren repeated what he had said, and began to calculate.

Yes, the morale is low now, it is clear that it is frightened by the combat effectiveness of the opposing army. In this case, the elite should be sent forward to crush the enemy with a devastating move. In this way, we can save the hearts of the army!

"However, in this way, the Fathers will also lose a lot. "Count Warren was a little unsure when he thought of this.

If his monarch was a Ming monarch, it would be better. But there was no doubt that his monarch, Louis XVI, was a dumb bastard. If his Praetorian Guard loses too much, then even if Count Warren wins this war, I am afraid that it will end ......

"But it's better than defeat, Count. It was when Count Warren hesitated that Leo spoke again.

"......" was taken for granted, and the statement of "defeated" made Count Warren even more displeased. But at the same time, the story of defeat also made Count Warren determined. At this moment, Count Warren's expression was different when he looked at Leo again.

It's complicated.

Yes, it's complicated.

The young officer's words were still uncomfortable. But at the same time, Count Warren had to admit that what he said was not all whimsical or vexatious as he had previously thought.

This guy is more talented than he thought.

He even said that he was more talented than himself.

"So ......"

"It's best to throw both the Fathers and the two Minor Fathers into battle in one go. Just before Count Warren could speak, Leo again voiced his opinion: "Either you don't do it, or you do your best." The input of one, two Fathers, has a completely different effect than the four Fatherhoods at once, General. ”

“...... You're right. This time, Count Warren had to publicly state that the other party was right. It's just one thing to know how, and it's another thing to do.

It took a little more for Count Warren to really make up his mind and send the troops of the four Fathers into battle. To replace the frontal, four ordinary infantry regiments that were weak in attack.

"Look, what do I see?"

William was also a little puzzled when the other party dispatched the troops, but he soon understood the reason.

"Four...... The Fathers, send out all four Fathers in one go. What a big spirit. ”

Even William couldn't help but sigh like this.

It's no different from what William has seen before. The two Fathers were also elite units equipped with sophisticated flintlock pistols, rifled guns, and cavalry companies of their own. Other than that, the equipment of the Minor Fathers does not look any different from that of the Fathers. Their distinction is epitomized by their ornaments, gold stars, ribbons and tassels.

The colors of the Fathers are brighter than those of the Lesser Fathers, and they are slightly more numerous and long. People can tell the difference at a glance.

However, this makes no difference to the outcome of the war.

In fact, William did not feel how strong the so-called Fathers were in combat. It's like when he played against Count Rochambeau before, the other side also sent a group of fathers, but they were quickly defeated by William. When they fled, they didn't remember what kind of Visigothic elite they were, Louis XVI's Praetorian Guard, or anything.

Their performance is completely out of step with their name.

Still, come to think of it, it's a no-brainer. Visigoths have spent too much time in the gentle country. Since the accession of Louis XVI, the powerful Bretons in the north did not dare to challenge, the Ostrogoths in the east were in civil war, and the Asturians in the south were their allies.

The strategic situation in Visigothic is very good. So much so that the Visigoths forgot how to fight.

Yes, when those Founding Regiments were first formed, they were all elite troops formed by selecting elite soldiers and strong generals, using the best weapons and equipment, far exceeding the honor of ordinary troops. Soon, though, these guys were soaking up in the gentle countryside of Paris. Not being on the battlefield for a long time, coupled with the drunkenness of the capital and the erosion of officialdom culture, have turned this army into a commodity army that can see but cannot fight.

"On top of that, there's a problem with these guys. William thought to himself, "These guys don't have bayonets. ”

Yes, these senatories were "analogous to knights" in social status with the sub-sentains, all of them were swordsmen, and in addition to swords, they were armed with daggers. Some guys even have to learn to ride horses and guns. On the other hand, super-long guns, which are considered inferior, and rifle bayonets similar to super-long guns, are not willing to be used.

"So......" William quickly thought of something. Then the decision was made.

At the same time, the situation on the frontal battlefield has changed again.

Although, in William's opinion, Louis XVI's Praetorian Guard was like spoiled children, useless. But the Britons at the front were different.

They had heard more or less about the prestige of the Visigothic army from their predecessors, the veterans of their father's generation. Knowing that the Visigoths' army is enough to compete with the Britons. Among them, the Fathers and Vice-Fathers are the best.

Thinking of these things, seeing the unfamiliar and familiar flags, these soldiers were more or less nervous. Morale has also dropped a bit.

In addition to this, they also lost part of their forces in the previous continuous battles. In particular, William's colonial infantry regiment. Their morale is even lower. To a certain extent, this shook the entire front.

"Do you want to withdraw the troops?" At this moment, Victoria was also a little nervous, and she couldn't help but suggest to William again: "At least, withdraw that colonial force—"

"- No, you don't. William replied, "Let them be given for this while." ”

"What did you say?" Victoria was surprised to hear William say, "The enemy sent the strongest trump card, and then you have to deliberately let the other side for a while?

"—Just call back right now. William interrupted Victoria: "Prepare the cavalry troops." ”

"Cavalry troops?"

"Yes, all cavalry troops. William nodded: "Your two cavalry regiments, mine one, and all the Cherokee cavalry, as well as the colonial cavalry battalion." In the next attack, I will send out all the cavalry, and then crush all the enemy's forces in one fell swoop. ”

"This ...... Will it succeed?" Victoria was still a little nervous: "After all, the enemy—"

"Of course it works. William said as he glanced at the flank battlefield again. By this moment, the enemy's two infantry regiments had been driven out of the range of the hunters. It looks like they won't be attacking any more.

"Hmm...... I changed my mind. Seeing this scene, William smiled: "Keep a cavalry regiment." Then send them to the flanks...... They should know about the layout of the minefield before. Just follow that, launch a charge against the troops on the enemy's flank. I'll mobilize artillery fire and help them. ”

"Hopefully you know what you're doing. Seeing that William seemed to be very relaxed, Victoria finally chose to believe what he said. Although she still doesn't understand, so much so that she gets angry because she doesn't understand.

"Of course, I'm fighting for our army, a chance to win. If this plan succeeds, then maybe we won't have to run out. William said: "We can win." That is, to defeat this enemy. ”

"I hope so. Victoria replied.

At the same time, the situation at the front became favorable for the Visigoths and Asturians.

Speaking of which, the Fathers fought somewhat similarly to the Hereford infantry of the White Regiment. It's just that they are not equipped with grenades.

With a powerful volley of muskets, they struck and weakened the enemy's array, and then charged - all of whom possessed high swordsmanship - simply because of their experience, their high social status, and the willingness of the Visigoths to provide them with all the means necessary for training. For example, a good sword teacher, a venue, and training props, etc. As a result, their melee combat capabilities are far superior to those of ordinary soldiers.

Moreover, the Britons, weakened by a volley of muskets, could not maintain their formation, and in melee hand-to-hand combat, they were also no match for them.

"Crushed, crushed! so fast!" said Count Warren exclaimed, gleefully —

That's it, four Fathers and Lesser Fathers who went into the battlefield. Soon broke through the first line of defense of the first line of defense. A dozen or so incomplete Britons and colonial companies turned around and left the battlefield in embarrassment.

After defeating them, the Fathers and Sub-Fathers also regrouped in the shortest possible time, and it seemed that the second array of Briton and the colonial forces could not stop their advance. It seems that the tide of the war has turned in favor of the Visigoths and Asturian armies.
