In the midst of the shouts, the soldiers of the Hereford family struck first, and the means of attack they did was the grenade that all the enemies of the Hereford family feared.

After a round of grenade throwing, a large number of Forces nouvelles soldiers were blown into the sky in a violent explosion, and the fragments of cast-iron grenades were inserted into the bodies of these unlucky men, and the shock wave and concussion of the explosion shattered the internal organs of these guys. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info let these guys die and can't die anymore -

The most striking of this series of explosions were the combat sappers armed with unstable, ******** explosives.

In one hand, he holds a sapper shovel with sharp edges, like a knife and like an axe, and in the other hand he holds a ******** explosive **** that can scare people to death. There are also some combat sappers who shoot closely, but with greater lethality and damage range, ******.

Combat sappers may not be of much use in the queue to be shot, but they can exert quite good combat effectiveness in close-quarters and hand-to-hand combat.

At least, the companies that were thrown by them **** were like hurricanes and natural disasters, and people were like pieces of paper, blown into the sky by a strong explosion. Or fried to a pulp.

For a moment, the sound of such a heavy bomb explosion shocked both the enemy and us. It's just a few inconspicuous ****, but it reimbursed several companies in an instant. This kind of combat power is really too bad.

"If not too unstable...... Forget it, it's useless to say such things now. William sighed in his heart. Immediately afterward, the shouting and shouting Hereford family army launched a charge.

The battle sappers who rushed to the front pulled the trigger very carelessly, and then fired a large number of shotguns, and then saw the enemy infantry on the opposite side fall in batches. One or two, the whole body is like a honeycomb.

If you open their breastplates and look at them again, you can see that their entire bodies have been shot to shreds. It's like a rotten tomato.

Blood poured out of their wounds. In an instant, the war machine, the Forces nouvelles troops, were weakened by several layers.

Receiving a strong explosion and a sudden attack from a large-caliber ******, the morale of the new Ottoman army on the opposite side was slightly depressed. William always felt that if the ordinary army had encountered such a sudden and unexpected attack, it should have collapsed a long time ago.

Don't forget that in the previous line battles where they lined up to shoot, they had already lost nearly half, or more than half of their troops.

However, even in this case, these bastards were able to level their bayonets and charge. This made William can't help but sigh, these bastards are really not human.

In fact, it is true that these war machines may still be biologically human. But after being brutally trained by the dark elves, they are psychologically more inclined to machines. These guys are fearless.

Many people believe that beasts are a more appropriate name and description. But in fact troops. The beast also has wisdom, and the beast knows to be afraid. Especially those large predators. They have to keep themselves healthy. Because they don't have a place to see a doctor.

They will never strike when faced with prey that is too strong, resists too fiercely, or thinks they are not strong enough to defeat. Because even if you can beat the other party. It's also not cost-effective to get injured for this.

Therefore, the beast knows how to advance and retreat, and if it is a beast, in the face of such a strong blow from the army and combat engineers of the Hereford family, I am afraid that it will not collapse anymore.

But the machine won't.

Unless destroyed, the machine will continue to run and work forever.

In this way, the Forces nouvelles, whose strength was further depleted, rushed together with the Janissaries of the Hereford family in one fell swoop. Both sides held bayonets and fought desperately as if the other party was their father's killer.

The vast majority of guys forget about defending, parrying, or provoking. These guys completely ignore the opponent's same straight thrust movements as themselves. The soldiers on both sides stabbed each other straight into the chest - when breaking through the breastplate, the armor-piercing three-edged bayonet, combined with the charging effect, was enough to inflict fatal damage......

Of course, there were also some poorly trained guys whose bayonets slipped on each other's chests, so they didn't stab in. And his enemies will not be as merciful as he is. The guy who made the mistake lost his life very sadly.

But rightfully so.

In the first round, after a thrust charge that caused hundreds of soldiers to be killed. The armies of both sides engaged in large-scale, intense, but much less efficient than the previous shooting.

In this process, the equipped cuirass played a better effect and function. Without the speed bonus of the Charge Assault, only a handful of the strongest warriors can pierce the opponent's breastplate in a flat thrust.

In other words, the most important parts of the torso, the most important organs, and the fatal places of the vast majority of people are all safe.

In the ensuing battle, the vast majority of the men targeted the deadly points of attack on the head, the face and the neck. But these places are small and thrust from the bottom up, making them easier to defend from a high position.

Convinced that they would not be able to defeat the opponent in a short period of time, the vast majority of soldiers' attacks became offensive and defensive. This makes the speed and efficiency of combat much slower.

Sure enough, in this case, attacking the thighs and calves first is the right choice. William looked at the battle on the other side and thought to himself.

"Of course, from the waist down, the groin is also a focus...... Although it is a little dirty, the essence of war is to do everything. Perhaps, after this, bayonet techniques can increase training to attack this area, as well as the inner thighs and crotch. These are also fatal parts. ”

Thinking of this, William began to think about defense again: "There should be no problem with the defense of the bayonet technique, what should still be considered is the armor. A cuirass can greatly increase the survivability of soldiers. Targeting the arteries of the thighs and calves can also cause the other party to lose a lot of blood and die. But it still takes a few minutes to wait for this process. On the battlefield, even a momentary mistake can have irreparable and terrible consequences. So a few minutes is a long time.

The purpose of attacking the legs is not to be lethal, but to reduce the speed and morale of the enemy through pain and blood loss. It's also important to understand this.

So...... Words of armor...... Maybe you can add a skirt armor to protect your crotch? Well, in that case, it's a half-body plate armor. What about thighs, calves and feet...... Would it be better to restore three-quarters of the plate armor, or even the whole body of plate armor? But then the physical demands on the soldiers would be even higher. William thought to himself.

In addition to the physical requirements, a set of full-body plate armor costs a lot. Whether it is money, labor, or raw materials, there is a lot. Whether to choose to revive the plate armor in order to reduce some of the attacks, William is still considering.

"Maybe you can make some half-body plate armor first, and equip it with more physical elite troops. Experiments on the battlefield. Well, that's it. ”

William thought so in his heart.

Although the battle on the front line was very fierce, his mind was obviously not on it, but on the contrary, he began to think about how the new army of the Hereford family should be reformed after the end of this battle, and even after the end of this war.

Especially in the battle against the dark elves, cold weapons are especially important - because the skills and hand-to-hand combat combat of those dark elves are obviously much higher than the Praetorian Guard troops of the Hereford family. If these guys were to continue fighting, the elite forces of the Hereford family would surely suffer heavy casualties.

"But of course, I'd rather the Dark Elves not choose melee combat, but engage us in line combat. William thought to himself. But when you think about it, it feels unlikely. After all, the dark elves have an advantage in this regard, no matter how you think about it, these guys will not play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

"However, we don't just want to play to our strengths. Therefore, how the specific campaign should be arranged and what tactics to adopt can still be decided by looking at the situation on the battlefield. William thought to himself. At the same time looking at the front line.

That is, while William was thinking so in his heart, the battle on the opposite side had come to an end.

In bayonet battles, cold weapon battles, it is still a war machine, and these highly trained New Army soldiers are stronger. However, the army of the Hereford family is not without advantages.

Their advantage lies in the combat sappers. Equipped with ************, such weapons of mass destruction, as well as ****** and sapper shovels, which are suitable for close-quarters combat, these combat sappers can often withstand double, triple, or even more enemy armies, and even win in battle.

With the support of these guys, especially the **** of the ********, and the throwing of those grenades, the war machine units of the new army suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that melee combat did not get as good tactical results as I imagined. The commander of the corps of the Forces nouvelles thought for a moment, and then ordered the front-line troops to retreat.

Seeing that the other party was retreating, the Hereford family army did not pursue. After all, the opponent's superb hand-to-hand combat skills and bayonet skills still made the Hereford family feel uneasy.

The Hereford family's forces were later withdrawn and regrouped. Once again, the two sides switched to the second-line reserves, and then continued to shoot in a row as they had done before.

It has only been an hour since the exchange of fire between the two sides, but the two sides have changed a total of three batches of troops.

In total, the Forces nouvelles lost forty-three companies, and nearly four thousand soldiers were killed or wounded. The army of six thousand people lost its combat effectiveness. In contrast, the Hereford family army lost thirty-one companies, more than 2,500 soldiers were killed or wounded, and more than 4,000 troops were incapacitated.

All of this was done in less than an hour.

This proves one thing, and that is the state of the new army at the moment, which kills quickly, attacks fiercely, and dies just as quickly.
