Lord of Industrialization

Chapter 127 The exercise is over

After the new order was issued, the battle on the ice was the first to break the deadlock.

The Lightning Ranger cavalry launched another attack and then began to turn towards the lake shore, preparing to assemble and attack again.

Bernd seized the opportunity and ordered the magician to remove the ice spikes in front of him. The Pea Company in front of him all fixed their bayonets and charged the cavalry. The Pea Company on the other three sides followed behind. At the same time, the Cherry Company intercepted and fired forward to prevent the cavalry from speeding up. .

The destructive power of the cavalry was greatly reduced due to the lack of speed. The charging soldiers were centered on a group of four. The purple mushroom gun in the group leader's hand broke the shield with one shot at close range, while the other three stabbed with bayonets from three directions.

The Lightning Ranger cavalry were quickly wiped out. Bernd did not stop the team, but ordered the whole team to quickly run in small steps and continue to charge towards the opponent's archer position.

On the other side, Jurgen also moved out. The cavalry did not go around to the rear, but suddenly rushed out of the mountains halfway, targeting the spearmen who were returning to defend.

The advancing spearmen were not far from the archer position. After being routed, the troops attacked the archers who were shooting, and Jurgen followed them.

The long-range attacks were alleviated, and Heinz immediately ordered Gade to concentrate on defending the top of the magic shield and let go of the sides to provide attack channels for the soldiers.

At this time, the ice can heavy infantry was less than 10 meters away from them.

The soldiers in the front row emptied the bullets in the magazines as quickly as possible, turning the ice cans in the front into snowdrifts. The formation of the spearmen behind them was in chaos.

There was no time to attach bayonets. The soldiers threw away their pea guns, took off the engineer shovels from their backs and rushed forward.

It's just that all the snowmen created by Psyche are good players, and they have the advantage in numbers. The soldiers who have been trained for less than a year cannot take advantage of them. They all rely on their ruthlessness and refusal to admit their losses after being "beaten". The anxiety on the front line.

Frederick sent a reserve team and asked Franz Jr. to lead a company of chasseurs in from the flank.

Soon after, Bernd and Jurgen eliminated the archers and magicians, turned around and surrounded the last spearmen.

The situation was decided. Frederick jumped off the horse, moved his body, took out a lollipop and held it in his mouth.

"How do you feel?" Old Franz asked with a smile.

He had just been thinking about how he would take command if he were the one to do it, and found that he was at a loss after the light cavalry suddenly appeared.

"I just want to have a good meal and then sleep," said Frederick. "It would be nice if I could take a hot bath."

He just issued a few orders, but this is not a game. If there is a slight mistake, he will be completely defeated. He has to carefully consider all aspects in a short period of time, which consumes a lot of energy.

The drills have been like this, and I don’t dare to think about what will happen in a real fight.

He said to a messenger: "Go back and tell the military camp that dinner and bath water are ready."

When the army returned to the camp, the aroma of stew could be smelled from a distance.

If you want to eat, you have to take a shower first. The soldiers put away their weapons and equipment, took out their towels and lined up in front of the bathroom.

The bathroom was a big tent with a row of cauldrons in front of it, into which the miserable magicians were throwing fireballs.

A bathroom can accommodate one platoon of people taking a bath at a time. Each person takes a bucket of hot water and puts a can of soap in the place.

It only takes five minutes from the time I take off my clothes to the time I finish washing and putting on my clothes. I just take off my clothes, get wet, apply some soap and rinse, then dry myself and put on my clothes.

After taking a shower, everyone lined up and came to the dining area. Each person had a bowl of bean stew, a bowl of fresh vegetable soup, and half a pound of steamed bread.

The menu says that there will be pickled cabbage and minced pork noodles before going to bed.

Metzger ate the fat and thin stew, and said at the same time: "It's so good to eat, it shouldn't be for us to replenish our strength and fight tomorrow."

The next morning...

"Metzger, why didn't you say yesterday that we should sleep in today?"

Metzger quietly poured the shoveled dirt in front of him, then patted it tightly, ignoring the glares and complaints around him.

Today's subject is to build field fortifications. They have half an hour to dig foxholes. When the time is up, thousands of troops will rush over.

This subject is not very difficult, but the psychological pressure is extremely high. No one wants to have a big lump of ice step on their forehead.

What I had this evening was beef stew with sweet radish, with some grape vinegar added, it was sour and sweet and very appetizing, and there were two extra hard-boiled eggs.

Metzger was peeling the egg shells and just said "I have eggs to eat today" when he was shouted at by Bobo from the opposite side: "Don't talk while eating!"

"Okay," Metzger said before eating the egg, "I think we can all stay still tomorrow."

After saying that, he heard everyone around him sigh in relief.

However, more than ten hours later, countless resentful eyes focused on him.

The subject of the third day is ambush. Everyone lurks in the snow in the morning. In the afternoon, enemies will pass by the road at the foot of the mountain.

In order to avoid unnecessary attrition, everyone was given an extra leather blanket to put in the winter sleeping bag, as well as a warm baby.

This kind of warm baby has a combustion chamber in the middle and a water-filled interlayer outside. Charcoal is placed inside to heat the surrounding water, which can provide heating for several hours.

With this set of equipment, even if there is snow all around, you will still be very warm in the sleeping bag.

It was just that a dozen people were sentenced to death for snoring while sleeping, and some didn't wake up until the fighting started, resulting in insufficient firepower in the early stage.

The dinner that day was pork elbow stewed with sauerkraut. Everyone hugged the elbow and ate it. Metzger was too busy eating to talk.

When everyone thought that dinner was over, Metzger suddenly said: "I think we can go back soon."

The long dining table was suddenly filled with laughter. Many people had heard about the crow's mouth. Now that he said he could go back to the camp, he might actually go back after breakfast tomorrow.

However, no one noticed that he said "soon".

The emergency assembly whistle sounded in the early morning. Tonight's subject was the last one of this exercise, a mountainous night march to the target military camp.

Everyone took out the night lights and installed them on their helmets, followed the road signs and walked into the mountains.

Frederick was also in the team. He said to little Franz next to him: "The latest news is that the neighbors will recruit militia during the off-season after spring plowing and before summer harvest. The day of war will be then."

"During this period, you must sum up your experience, carry out targeted training, do a good job in education, and prepare for the next war."

"I judge that there will be four enemy armies attacking us at the same time. The strongest is Count Ansbach's side. Therefore, the city of Hausen in front of us will rely on the city defense army and militia to hold them back, and the main force will destroy the enemies from the other three directions. Destroy the enemy first."

"You have to make plans and let all localities do the logistics. Don't be in a hurry when the time comes."

"Since the guests are here, please stay. This time we will fight a war of annihilation and defense, and strive to eliminate the enemy's ability to resist in one battle. Our goal is to expand our territory."

Soldiers these days are all workers. As long as the boss is killed and the new boss doesn't do anything, they will run away immediately.

This time everyone was at odds with each other, and Frederick did not care about martial ethics. He first physically eliminated the enemy's leader, and then swallowed the land. With the fait accompli, he was not afraid of bringing the lawsuit in front of the Pope.
