"Reinforce the fortifications! Compact the soil wall in front of you, this can save your lives!"

On the defensive position of the Third Brigade of the Second Army, the soldiers wearing only a single coat with iron tools struggled to heighten the soil wall in front of them or flatten the soil surface. Behind them, several officers took turns to patrol. While motivating them with words.

This is the Akas Highland north of Thred City, and it is also the only way for the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of Bararias to reach Thred City. Compared with the surrounding flat land, this highland is the most suitable There is no other reason for the place where the legion stays. It can weaken the power of the coalition cavalry charge.

In order to further contend with the coalition cavalry, the soldiers of the third brigade dug several trenches in front of their positions. In each trench, a varying number of line infantry equipped with flintlocks were deployed, although the front mounted muskets were not Suitable for positional warfare, but the third brigade commander Richard Noble chose to deploy this way.

Richard Knob is the first cadet who graduated from the Royal Norwegian Military Academy. He has a lot of confusion in his life with the same name as Richard, but it also inspires him to work harder, so he dare not let this easily. The sacred name was humiliated by his behavior, so he studied hard in the military academy, and finally graduated successfully with the first place, and was appointed as the temporary commander of the first regiment of the third brigade of the Second Army. After several years He was also promoted to commander of the Third Brigade.

After joining the army for several years, he knows the strength of his own army well. Needless to say, the line infantry has excellent performance in long-range shooting, but the anti-riding ability is still a bit weak. Although it is equipped with a bayonet, the muskete turns into a long gun. Spear, but before the hollow phalanx that formed the anti-cavalry, the infantry still had to be passively beaten when facing the cavalry.

I forgot to say that the formation of a hollow square formation is a necessary subject for every company during training. The purpose is to prevent the enemy cavalry from charging in battle. The hollow square formation formed by linear infantry is like a hedgehog, which There are dozens of muskets with shining bayonets on each side. These bayonets can deter the horses from retreating. At the same time, the soldiers can shoot at enemies in all directions. It can be said that a hollow phalanx is a better choice if you are in a heavy siege.

...

"How long will the Valencian coalition forces arrive?" Looking at the busy position, Richard Noble asked his adjutant, who immediately replied: "General, if there is no accident, it should be there. The Queen is at war with our army."

"There is one day left, enough." He calculated it in his mind, and then nodded in satisfaction, but then he seemed to think of something, and continued to ask: "Where are the servants and Swaczyts arranged on the flanks. How are their performances."

"Nothing changed, but..."

"But what?"

"The Swačić army is simply a mob. In just a few days, dozens of fights have occurred in their barracks, and many soldiers sneaked out to the nearby village chief to steal and rob. This is what our soldiers say, they have been arrested by the gendarmerie for a long time in a military court!"

Nobo had also heard about this, but because it was an army of the Swacchi, it was inconvenient for him to intervene. Now that his adjutant said this, he could only smile helplessly and said: "Musiru, there is no way. There are not many troops that observe military discipline like ours, and this is one of the reasons why our military is stronger than them."

"Yes." The adjutant nodded in agreement, but he had a new question. He asked: "General, I'm wondering, is the Swaqiqi army reliable? If they retreat without authorization during a war, our army is afraid Will be implicated."

"That's a problem." Nobo frowned slightly, and folded his hands around his chest. The Swacchi soldiers looked unreliable. If they really retreated and sold them during the war, his brigade would In trouble.

After thinking about it, he had an idea, and said, "Musir, just in case, you took the fifth and sixth brigade of the second regiment and deployed them behind the Swacchi to perform the task of supervising the battle. They retreat without authorization and can shoot on the spot. If they are defeated, you will lead the two brigade to the top."

"Yes, General."

...

One day later, the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Bararias arrived, and their forward cavalry also began to fight with the carbine cavalry belonging to the third brigade. The army is fighting and killing each other, and it is impossible to tell the victory or defeat for a time.

"Run! Load up ammunition!"

The commander of the cavalry company shouted loudly. The knights behind him speeded up their horses and moved away from the nomadic cavalry who were chasing them. The sound of arrows flying in the air from time to time flew past their ears, causing their backs to be sweated coldly. Wet.

Although the carbine is more powerful than the bow and arrow, the accuracy is greatly reduced and the reload speed is longer. This makes the Winster Cavalry suffer during the battle. Usually they are on the opposite side during the shooting round. The nomadic cavalry has fired more than five times, and as a result, their casualties have risen sharply.

"Stop running, turn around and shoot!"

Bang bang bang ——

"Draw a sword and charge!"

"drive--"

The sudden turn around shot the nomadic cavalry who was chasing off by surprise~lightnovelpub.net~ and they were shot down in an instant. Before the smoke from the carbine was cleared, the carbine cavalry who pulled out the sword roared out of the smoke. , Entered the nomadic cavalry, when the few cavalry that was about to be led cut off their horses, but the nomadic cavalry quickly reacted and also drew out a sharp saber to fight, and the two sides immediately fell into a close hand-to-hand fight. From time to time, people screamed and fell off their horses. The horses without their masters fled from the battle group. In the end, relying on the advantage of numbers, the Carbine Lancers killed all the nomadic cavalry.

Compared with the nomads who started riding horses at birth, Winster’s cavalry is really not so good. They can only barely win by relying on the advantages of equipment and numbers (but in fact there are more nomadic cavalry employed by the coalition. , Only small strikers are fighting the Winsters).

The intelligence brought back by the cavalry made Richard Noble really unhappy. Unlike the first information, the Bararias coalition has added many mercenaries to the original more than 5,000 troops. The terrifying cavalry alone was enough to make the third brigade tremble.

"Get ready to fight, our army will face severe challenges in this battle." He said in a low tone, and several regiment-level commanders and brigade commanders in the camp also looked solemn. This will be Winster after the military reform. The First World War faced by the army was also an opportunity to report to His Majesty the effectiveness of the military reform.
