Chapter 124 is over for the time being?
When this group of "elite troops" appeared on the battlefield of the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force, the war with the Sikhs, William also believed that the war had reached a white-hot stage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The armies of the Russian Gothic Empire did not have much strength to attack anymore, and the Sikhs were no different.
If it weren't for this reason, William believed that the other side would not have come up with his trump card troops.
Yes, the remnants of this group of white legions, the new white legions that have been trained, are the ace troops of the Sikhs - most of them, soldiers and officers, are adventurers from Europe. These people were trained by the remnants of the White Legion in a manner similar to that of the White Legion, and then fought in a manner similar to that of the White Legion.
In the history of Sikh expansion, if there was any difficult war that Maharaja Ranjit could not handle, he would send his "elite". And for the most part, the "elite" of the White Army did not disappoint him.
In the vast majority of wars, this army has performed well. They possess the most advanced war experience, tactics, and training standards of their time. In addition, it also has more advanced weapons and equipment of this era. Led by a group of veterans with sufficient war experience, this elite force was enough to burst out, extremely powerful, and the feudal army of the Middle Ages was jaw-dropping and terrifying combat power.
"But even so...... Hum. Thinking of this, William snorted lightly and turned his back on the master. Although it is not to this extent, it is naturally impossible for him to have a good impression of these guys who are far from their hometowns and come to such a place to fight for money.
But, again, most of these guys won't have a good impression of William.
Or even a little more abomination.
Although these guys have a second spring, made a fortune, and achieved fame here, they presumably won't be grateful to William for this.
On the contrary, before they became famous and rich, they suffered and encountered difficulties, and other messy troubles, they will most likely be remembered on William's head.
Originally, the two sides would not meet at all, so they were fine. But this time, William stood in front of them, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be some unclear minds who thought it would be a righteous revenge battle. It would teach the tyrant Wilhelm von Hereford who betrayed them a lesson.
Of course, for their thoughts, William has nothing but hehe.
It doesn't matter, since these guys want a little entertainment, William will naturally be with them to the end, he hasn't seen each other in years, and come to think of it, he's still a little nostalgic for his old subordinates - well, just kidding.
However, with a little intimacy, there should be no problem.
"Resist a little, then back off. The 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th Cavalry Regiments were then rounded back to both sides of the position, and a flanking attack was launched after the enemy had crossed the river. William gave the order with ease.
Yes, the task of the self-esteemed and well-anticipated White Legion, or the new White Legion, was not to assist his Indic allies in fortifying their positional defenses, but to take the initiative and assist the attacking forces that had returned to the flanks of the battlefield and were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Prairie Legion.
It's a bit reckless, but if you want to break the deadlock, it's a good idea.
"But can they really do it?"
William thought to himself—
The White Regiment on the opposite side numbered more than five thousand men and was organized into thirty-five companies. In addition to the basic soldiers and officers, there is also enough military musicians to support them. In addition to this, a total of two Indido cavalry regiments provided cover for them.
The combat effectiveness of these Indian cavalry is the same as that of the Indians, which is not very high, but relatively speaking, there are certain merits.
Although the Indy system is rather bizarre compared to the rest of the world, it can barely be seen as a more eccentric feudal state.
Therefore, they still retain the courage of the noble warriors, that is, the Kshatriya warriors.
Although this "spirit of bravery" is much worse than that of his peers, the samurai, the knights, and the Sipaj, and the Mamluks, even so, it can still be regarded as a degraded knightly force.
What made William even more interesting was the war elephant unit that the Indians had only now come up with.
These terrifying monsters, with their sheer size and razor-sharp fangs, have always been a favorite of lords in South and Southeast Asia. The combat power is very strong, the impact is very strong, the carrying capacity is very strong, and the deterrent is also very strong.
Of course, there is a lot of food, and it is relatively troublesome to serve.
"If it was in the era of cold weapons, this kind of monster might still be a little useful, but ......" Thinking of this, William shook his head: "It's useless, this kind of thing." He thought to himself.
Of course, he thinks so, but it doesn't mean that everyone thinks the same way.
At least some of the combat staff officers under his command looked a little ugly after seeing the unstoppable appearance of the war elephant cluster. In addition, looking at the white army on the opposite side, as well as the appearance of those Sikh cavalry, you can also see that these guys are very happy, as if they think that they have won the battle.
To be honest, this made William a little incomprehensible.
If the Sikhs, as the indigenous forces of Indy, are more superstitious about their war elephant troops, and think that such things are good and powerful, then it is forgivable, after all, they are just a group of ignorant natives.
However, the White Army is European, although the main ones are some European breakdowns......
Well, maybe these guys have been in Indy for too long, and their brain circuits have been assimilated.
All in all, the tide of battle changed dramatically after the White Legion joined the battlefield with two Sikh cavalry regiments, plus a cluster of war elephants.
The expeditionary forces of the Russian Gothic Empire could not hold on, and after a period of confusion turned and retreated.
As I said before, all the expeditionary forces that are at the forefront today are cavalry, and even the artillery is cavalry. It is very easy for them to want to move and retreat.
In fact, this is exactly what the Russian Gothic Empire expected. At present, almost all of William's troops are such highly mobile cavalry and cavalry infantry.
That's it, after seeing the expeditionary force of the Russian Gothic Empire "fleeing in disarray" in amazement, the Sikhs burst into cheers. Then he took the lead and advanced towards the opposite shore.
The commanders of the White Regiment felt that this was not an easy matter. In fact, they were also wondering if this was another conspiracy of the cunning emperor.
However, while they hesitated, the troops, whose original mission was to provide them with cover, took the lead.
This made the commander of the White Regiment feel helpless.
Despite their status and money, the White Legion will never be able to gain the trust and respect of the local lords as outsiders. Although Maharaja Ranjit valued these guys very much, he was still wary of them in his heart.
Today's India is not like today's Europe, where foreign mercenaries can gain the trust of feudal monarchs. After all, they have the legendary unbreakable caste system. In this context, a class revolution from below is almost impossible.
In other words, they don't need the kind of foreign mercenaries who are detached from the masses of the people and attached to the monarchy to be their thugs and accomplices in the suppression of the revolution.
In this case, the position of the White Army looks very awkward.
Although these guys are indeed very capable of fighting, and even very capable of fighting, this kind of very capable of fighting, very capable of fighting, and the problem of status and status make them the object of envy of all Sikh generals and leaders.
In this case, the operation of the White Regiment, which had to be influenced by political factors.
"Keep up and be careful. "In this case, if there really is some enemy trap or something on the other side, a Sikh army is trapped.
And in this case, if the White Army does not keep up, then it is self-evident who the blame will ultimately be on.
It's really helpless to think about it.
If it is under "normal" circumstances, then the White Army will have to play the "fine tradition" of mercenaries, leaving no one here and having their own place to stay, and by the way, selling their former teammates and employers and moving to a new home.
In fact, with the whole Indy being full of flames and smoke everywhere, mercenaries should have been a pretty good business.
It's just a pity that no.
Not at all.
Very, very unfortunately, no.
Because of the appearance of two enemy armies, the Russian Gothic Expeditionary Force and the Expeditionary Force from Briton, the choice of the White Army was greatly reduced.
The two foreign countries, which have already carried out military reform and have sufficient manpower, materials and troops, do not need such unreliable troops as the White Army to take refuge in them.
Even if they were reluctant to accept it, the White Legion would never again be a well-paid ace as they were with the Sikhs. The end result is definitely a dead end.
Therefore, in this case, continuing to endure has become the only option.
"But what will be our fate after this?" the commander of the White Legion could not help but think.
Soon, however, this idea was overshadowed by more worldly intrigues, money and power.
He was as hungry for money as the average White Legionnaire, and as hungry for vengeance against their former monarch as his companions.
"In that case, then this war should continue. ”
Thinking of this, the other party abandoned all hesitation and unswervingly led his army to advance towards the position of the Russian Gothic Empire. (To be continued.) )
