Excited shouts exploded above the formation of the imperial army, accompanied by the rushing snare drums and the sound of footsteps of the soldiers forming the formation, resounding throughout the sea of ​​fog.

The 8,000-strong imperial army spread out one after another, like a knight who was ready to go, erected his spear, and tapped the shield emblem of the kite shield with iron gloves, provoking the opponent.

In contrast, the Clovis army, which was the attacker, did not make a single sound except for the normal march.

Five thousand soldiers formed an attacking column in company units, with only a cubit away from each other. There was almost no difference in pace between columns and columns.

Looking down from the dome through the layers of dense fog, you can see that the entire formation of the storm division is like a huge arrowhead, rushing towards the imperial army that is bowing to the left and right of the "two arms".

And the top of this "arrowhead" is the essence of the entire storm division - the grenadier regiment that evolved from the "former storm regiment".

"All ready-"

Looking around at the figures of the soldiers around, Fabian with a tense face shouted loudly: "Get on the bayonet!"

"The bayonet--!!!!"

The tidy shouts exploded from the throats of the seven hundred grenadiers, and the pupils burst out with a fire-like fighting intent. With the faster and faster drumbeats, they stepped up their pace and slaughtered towards the imperial line.

Bernard at the rear of the front immediately tightened his nerves and ordered the four regiments in the middle to start a defensive formation as soon as possible-because the thick fog could not see the enemy's line of troops, the four regiments could only be lined up in battalion units. Form three lines of defense to avoid accidents.

Although it is mainly an emergency measure, Bernard also has his own considerations: Compared with the rigid and rigid imperial line, the Clovis military system places more emphasis on the flexibility of infantry, and strikes diagonally in case of indecision. Tactics are almost standard in the Clovis army.

Frontal containment, outflanking the flanks, and finally the "revolving door offensive"... With weak artillery firepower and lack of excellent cavalry, the Clovis can only give full play to the firepower and mobility of the infantry, so as not to lose in the battle against the Empire.

Therefore, Bernard believes that if you are on the defensive side in the Clovis confrontation, you must not only consider the sufficient frontal width, but also set up multiple lines of defense to avoid the flanks or even the center line being broken through with one blow, resulting in the collapse of the front line.

But when he deployed the formation with full confidence, the first thing he greeted was not the army of Clovis that rushed up like a tidal wave, but a piercing sound of breaking through the air.

"Boom!!!! Boom!!!! Boom!!!!"

The violent sound of cannons exploded on the hills and heights, lighting up groups of fire in the middle of the imperial line.

Facing the sudden artillery fire, the imperial soldiers on the dusty line suddenly looked stiff, standing motionless like puppets and clay sculptures; as if the surrounding fire was exploding, the screaming companions and their bodies were shrapnel and rubble. The torn wounds are all just an illusion.

However, despite the fierce momentum, because of the dense fog and Bernard's special dispersal deployment, there was no precise point where the shells landed. The actual casualties were basically minimal, and they did not pose a serious blow to the imperial line.

"They didn't give up the artillery positions on the hills, just as I thought!"

Looking at the overwhelming artillery fire, Bernard, whose vision was blocked by the thick smoke and sand, was very excited - such fierce artillery fire could not have been brought out by the poor Clovis people, it could only have been from the previous empire. The spoils captured by the defenders.

They specially turned the muzzle for defense, but they did not know that they had made a fatal mistake: as long as they could conquer the hills and highlands, the entire Storm Division army would be exposed to the muzzle!

At that time, four frontal regiments will block the attack of the Clovis people, one regiment on the eastern front will block the retreat, and the elites on the western front will be attacked in layers... Finally, with the artillery fire from the high ground on the southern front, these five kilograms of Lovis will be wiped out in Yangfan City. outside.

"The ambitions of the Clovis will end in Sail City, and Anson Bach, who has humiliated the Empire, will also die here!"

Facing countless gazes full of admiration, Bernard made his final judgment without changing his face.

Just as he was receiving the cheers from his cronies and followers, the bullet marks across the sky gradually began to thin out, and the deafening roar also dissipated.

But the real battle has only just begun.

Almost at the moment of stepping on the last cannonball to the ground, the grenadier regiment that was ready to launch immediately launched a full-line attack on the four imperial line regiments in the middle, and rushed unstoppable.

Four of the five grenadier companies lined each other and attacked from the front. The last company, led by Fabien himself, opened up in reserve in three rows of firing lines in the rear, at a slight delay. speed trails behind.

With the shouts of the knight officers, the Imperial Line soldiers began to reload their ammunition in an orderly manner; however, the storm division grenadiers on the opposite side did not stop firing as they expected, but instead took up their bayonets and killed them directly.

He didn't stop, didn't fire in a volley, and faced the Imperial Line soldiers who raised their guns at him, and charged directly.

"boom--!!!!"

The choking thick smoke rose into the sky in the sudden flickering of the gunfire, and the grenadiers, who were facing the imperial line, paid the price of a dozen corpses, and quickly rushed through the gunfire and the short fifty meters. The distance, like four sharp knives, pierced the chests of the four infantry regiments.

"Hand-grenade-bomb!"

Looking at the black cylindrical object that was rushing out of gunpowder smoke and flying towards him, the imperial soldiers, who were still faceless during the shelling just now, panicked instantly, ignoring the shouts of the officers. flee around.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Four groups of firelights lit up in sequence on the front, paving the way for the grenadiers to assault; more than six hundred grenadiers passed through the flames and launched an assault on the panicked Imperial line.

What followed was a brutal hand-to-hand battle.

Although the Imperial Line Private was caught off guard, it was not enough to shake the entire line of defense by a single explosion; the panicked soldiers were quickly recalled by the knight officers and regrouped to face Fabian's grenadier regiment.

Facing an enemy with a numerical advantage, the grenadier regiment in the melee fully utilized its previous experience in besieging the position. After tearing the defense line, the column quickly spread around in groups of five. Shotguns and bayonets, strangling together with the imperial line whose strength was four or five times their own, continued to maintain the rhythm of column assault.

At the same time, Fabian, who was in the back line, led the reserve team to launch a firing line and opened fire on both flanks to prevent the enemy from waiting for an opportunity to outflank the Grenadier regiment's back road.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield and thick fog in front of them, the imperial knights who could not tell the difference between the enemy and the enemy can only command the troops based on their experience, and shoot against the reserves of the grenadier regiment... As for whether they accidentally hurt their own people, it can only rely on order. The environment blesses.

"Let the troops on the front line retreat and rectify, and the line battalion of the second line of defense will rise up!"

Bernard, who was watching the battle, frowned slightly. He did not expect the enemy to send the most elite grenadier regiment to launch a bayonet charge from the very beginning.

However, it is not difficult to understand if you think about it carefully. When you are at a disadvantage and take advantage of the fog to launch a surprise attack, you must be hoping to scare you away. Even if you can't win immediately, you force yourself to slow down the offensive or even retreat. Uighurs have advantages.

But what a pity, Ansen Bach, that your dying struggle is doomed to be fruitless!

During the melee, the front row of the Imperial Line, who had been fooled by grenades and shotguns, began to fight while retreating. The line infantry in the second line of defense behind them raised their rifles, stepped on Paoze and stepped into the enemy's bones one after another. On the battlefield, engage the Storm Division grenadiers.

Almost at the same time, the second and third infantry regiments located on the two wings of the Storm Division's "arrowheads" also divided nearly half of their forces to put pressure on the middle of the imperial line.

Taking advantage of the situation opened by the Grenadier Regiment, the Storm Division infantrymen of these two battalions successfully crossed the outer defense line and went straight to the vacancy between the middle of the imperial line and the east and west flanks, in an attempt to directly outflank the back road.

But Bernard had already guessed the possibility—while the front line retreated, the troops of the third line of defense moved to the left and right flanks, quickly filling the gap in the front.

The two sides acted almost at the same time, and collided and found each other at the same time; the officers on both sides gave up the opportunity to fire a salvo in tacit agreement, and issued the order to charge the bayonet!

"God Save the Empire--!!!!"/"Long Live Clovis--!!!!"

In the piercing cry, the blue-white and red-black "color blocks" collided fiercely.

The sound of rifle shooting, the sound of bayonet snapping, the sound of dying curses, the sound of **** wailing... all stirred each other in the open wasteland, the front line that had just broken through was pushed back again, and the flag that had been cut down in the last second was under the banner. Seconds stood up again, and the scene was chaotic to the extreme.

Although the Storm Division was gaining momentum and almost overwhelmed the entire front several times, under Bernard's command, the Imperial Line also showed its strong side: resilience.

Yes, the Imperial infantry have always been known for their rigidity; but as long as their commanders are not killed or vanished, they are usually terribly resilient, with little prospect of rout.

Therefore, the storm division can rely on the momentum of the attack to force the imperial line to retreat, but it is still unable to defeat it, and it is extremely difficult to even tear a hole... It is like a hound full of fangs encountering a candy, and there is no way to open a mouth. .

In addition, the imperial army still has the advantage in strength, which makes the storm division of the attacking side more and more weak, and it is difficult to obtain an effective attack.

But in fact, Bernard also had a headache at this time - the direct consequence of the fog was that he could not judge the current situation of the battle.

Whether the hills and highlands have been captured, whether the enemy has reinforcements, what exactly is Yangfan City planning to do, whether Anson Bach really only has the strength of the four or five thousand people in front of him... All of them don't know!

This uncertainty caused Bernard to be timid. Although he had a superior force, he did not dare to attack easily. He could only wait silently for the battle situation to change.

He can only wait.

………………

"No, I can't drag it any longer!"

In the noisy and chaotic position, Joseph clenched his teeth tightly, looking at the fortifications that had been bombed to pieces, and the imperial army that was rushing up behind him, shouting hysterically: "Notice. Everyone, we have to retreat! Retreat!"

Almost at the same time that the grenadiers launched their offensive on the second line of defense of the Imperial line, two infantry regiments led by Ser Amar on the eastern front had successfully raided the artillery positions on the hills behind the Storm Division.

It was the Confederate Army's Second Infantry Division Commander, the former leader of the Longhu Town militia, Joseph, who was responsible for defending this place; Ansen entrusted him with the important task of leading the Longhu Town Infantry Regiment and the Winter Torch City Skirmisher to defend the storm division's mission. Base Camp".

"...After we launch the attack, the opposing imperial army may or may not come; it's best if he doesn't come, if he comes, how did you fight us before, and this time you fight him-- All in all, be careful!"

This is Anson's original words.

If Joseph originally thought it was because he did not trust himself and the Confederate legion, then when the imperial army hit the ground, Joseph was completely convinced.

In order to win this important position for the imperial army, the imperial soldiers of the two infantry regiments almost did their best to attack again and again against the cross-fire net of the defenders without fear of death; the original will to fight The rather weak Confederate army was quickly broken through and strangled with the swarming Imperial soldiers.

Faced with a surging tide of enemies and a line of defense collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, the option of "retreat" immediately came to the minds of soldiers from Joseph to ordinary soldiers; but before that there was a very real problem:

"If we retreat without even saying hello and let the imperial army occupy the high ground, what if the Clovis is wiped out?"

"What should I do?!" Facing the subordinates who were cautiously asking questions, Joseph rolled his eyes directly:

"Who do you think you are, Savior?! As long as you stay here and stand firm, you can turn the tide of the battle, and even decide the outcome of the battle?"

"Wake up, that kind of thing has nothing to do with us! You are a fisherman who has just been in the army for less than three months~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The opposite is a veteran who has fought for half a lifetime. The two sides are not the same concept at all."

"You stay here and fight as you want; if you run away, fight as you should—so if you die, you're dead in vain!"

After being awakened by Joseph, the subordinates who finally realized the nature of their rabble suddenly realized that they no longer had any complaints, and quickly began to organize a retreat route.

At the same time, Sir Amar, who had high hopes for Bernard, was still commanding the soldiers to quickly capture the outer positions, and even went to the front to fight in person, trying to gain a firm foothold on the high ground as quickly as possible; he did not notice that he was fighting with himself at all. The enemy he killed has actually begun to prepare to run away.

As time went by, the elite Imperial line privates occupied most of the positions one after another; the Confederate soldiers who were originally there had been evacuated in batches according to the advance route.

Thirty minutes later, a banner of golden irises was erected on the towering hills.
