2 rolls, 1 sub-volume, 7 - line column battles against automatic weapons
Above the hillside, sixteen six-pounder guns had been erected on the hillside.
The soldiers in charge of the artillery had already begun to reload their shells - according to the plan, the artillery would attack first, followed by the infantry, and then the cavalry would charge from behind the enemy's flanks after the two sides were in a melee.
......
And below the hillside, the infantry, having continued the darkness of the night, quietly came to the vicinity of the stronghold of the "cold adjudicators".
The ruthless adjudicators, completely unaware that the native civilization was coming to attack, were now just doing very simple vigilance.
Several "ruthless adjudicators" stood at the door of the colony, which seemed to be their simple sentry.
"Wait here...... Don't rush into action, wait for the artillery to open fire before you move!" said the platoon commander of the line infantry in the center, whispering to the people around him - in general, the line soldiers would not rush to attack without the command of the line commander.
"Really...... No problem......" The tone of one of the soldiers on the side sounded panicked - this was the first time in their generation that they had attacked such an enemy.
In the dark night, the tense atmosphere before the battle spread in this silence.
The infantry here waited for the fire of friendly artillery in the rear.
......
There was a thud on the ground, coming from the rear - friendly troops opened fire.
Shells whizzed, from both sides of the infantry, through the air.
Immediately after, there was a loud sound of round solid cannonballs slamming into the ground or buildings in front of them!
Soon, the "ruthless adjudicators" not far ahead, shouted.
The enemy's stronghold in front of it began to become noisy.
"Attack!" shouted the commander of the line of privates.
"Everyone, attack!"
"Attack!"
......
On the side, the loud shouts of the commanders of each queue also sounded.
The beat of drums and the melodious melody of the flute began to sound in the procession.
The flag bearer also raised the flag that was originally rolled.
Previously, these infantrymen, under the cover of weeds under the hillside, quietly advanced towards the enemy's stronghold.
And now, there is an open space ahead - the soldiers of the native civilization of Kingdom One are ready to fight the enemy in their traditional way of fighting!
Perhaps, for front-loading smoothbore weapons that do not have a high profile, it is a wiser way to shoot in a row and shoot forward.
However, it is difficult to say whether such a combat method is suitable for dealing with those "cold adjudicators"!
These line infantrymen began to advance in neat steps to the beat of drums and flutes.
The other side was sporadic with gunfire - the Sentinels of the "Ruthless Adjudicator", and some enemy soldiers who had come out of the building to support, using weapons that "could fire five times manually at a time", were firing at this side.
At the moment, the opponent's firepower is not too fierce.
However, at this moment, among the strongholds of those "cold adjudicators", a burst of wind snail sirens sounded.
Soon, a bright headlight cast the light directly on the clearing, where the line infantrymen in brightly colored uniforms were clearly visible in the bright light.
This is not the worst for the soldiers of the native civilization.
"Everyone, get ready...... Stand!" shouted the queue commander.
The whole line of soldiers immediately stopped.
To the beat of a rapid drum, the soldiers began to fine-tune their formation.
Soon, these soldiers will fire a salvo to deal a blow to the scattered enemy forces on the opposite side.
"Everyone, prepare!" the queue commander turned his head to look at the soldiers beside him.
In the midst of a loud sound, the line infantrymen pointed their guns at the front and prepared to shoot.
"Listen to me!" the queue commander continued to shout, raising his command sword in his hand.
However, before these line infantry could fire, a series of dense gunfire suddenly rang out in the fortress opposite!
