Take the Empire To the Other World
Chapter 179 Siege queue
A blue ocean emerged from the mountains and plains, and between each siege tower, there was a French line infantry lined up in a shooting line, following behind the officer, with their bayonets pointing upwards, and marching forward with their heads held high.
Every company is playing solemn military music and drums. The leading line infantry junior officer holds a sword in front, looks ahead, and steps forward following the drumbeat. The team maintains the same forward speed as other companies.
Ordinary French line infantry looked ahead, looked at the officers leading the team in front, listened to the drumbeats in their ears, and kept pace with the soldiers in the same robes on the left, right, front, front, and back, and at the same time maintained the entire horizontal row.
The entire marching company was like a military parade, stepping forward in unison, the only difference was that they didn't take a high-legged goose step...
Well, going forward is too tiring, obviously not suitable for stepping out on the battlefield!
This kind of meaningless physical exertion is a waste of physical strength for soldiers who are about to go to the front line for bloody battles!
After all, the French line infantry is not a guard of honor, but a combat soldier!
The guard of honor is certainly beautiful, but on the battlefield, everything must move closer to practicality.
The French line infantry marched so neatly, not for the sake of looking good, but to keep the formation neat. If the footsteps were not consistent, how embarrassing would it be to step on the boots of the front and rear soldiers during the march?
It would be interesting if the soldiers next to him were tripped, and military law enforcement would definitely be unavoidable!
The slowly forward siege tower is followed by a large group of French infantry on the left and right. The left and right French infantry will provide fire cover, and the rear large group of French infantry will approach the city wall on the siege tower. , Climb up from the ladder at the back, stepping on the siege tower continuously to climb up the enemy's city wall!
Every siege tower is a battle platform, and there are nearly a hundred French line infantry behind the upper baffle, standing in a row of guns, just waiting for the moment when the baffle falls!
Count Badajoz stood on the highest point of the castle and looked around, but he couldn't see the end of the blue ocean.
He couldn't help wondering, where did the federal army get so many soldiers?
Shouldn't the sea of people tactics be what my side is best at?
Shouldn't the federal army be best at all kinds of powerful artillery and long-distance individual muskets?
Now there is not a single artillery piece on the "Federal Army" position on the opposite side, all of them are all musketeers, and the number has completely shattered the common sense of Earl Badajoz.
The federal people he has seen in his life are not as many as the federal army that appeared outside the city this time!
Such a huge human army with no end in sight, even without the assistance of artillery, still made Earl Badajoz feel fear from the bottom of his heart!
But soon Earl Badajoz put this fear behind him. The followers of Chaos God will never be afraid of death, let alone fighting!
Death is not the end, if you die fighting for the Chaos God, you will eventually return to the dark Chaos Abyss, which is the holy place that they, the Chaos Humans, yearn for all their lives!
Well, at least that's what it says in the Apocalypse of the Great God of Chaos...
Unlike the beliefs of truth, goodness, beauty, and positive energy promoted by the local churches of the Zilong Federation, and entering various heavens after death, enjoying 18 virgins serving eternal life, chaotic human beings all look forward to entering the eternal world after death. The chaotic abyss, and then get the immortal body, and fight for the god of chaos forever...
Chaotic humans are indeed not normal-minded creatures!
But only this kind of chaotic human being with abnormal brain can perfectly control the demonized creature with abnormal brain to fight...
The reason why the First Army of the French Line Infantry did not carry artillery to attack the city was naturally...
No field guns at all!
When Wang Ziming captured the colonial area of Reese City, those who had artillery were all regular troops, and they all resisted so stubbornly that they had to destroy the artillery before they died. Except for the fortress artillery, there is no field artillery or even a small-caliber mortar!
Although the fortress cannon can be disassembled and used, it is difficult to transport, and it is not realistic to use it for an expedition to the Kingdom of Andalusia!
Unless it is installed on a steam ship, of course, this can only be thought about, Wang Ziming does not have a ship now...
As for the production of artillery, Wang Ziming actually issued this order. The only arsenal in Reese City that was originally responsible for the maintenance of artillery has also begun to be rebuilt. However, this arsenal could only manufacture Longzheng rifles, or small-scale production, and the artillery can only be repaired. , It will take a long time to rebuild it to the extent that it can cast artillery.
This is something that Wang Ziming can only do by raiding the craftsmen in the entire Colonial Area of Reese City!
And even if it can be casted, it will be an ordinary field smoothbore that has long been outdated. It is no problem to produce solid projectiles and shotguns, but it is impossible to launch grenades.
The howitzer technology has been blocked by the Zilong Federation. This is a weapon that can only be equipped by the regular army. Naturally, it will not spread to the Obaro colonial area thousands of miles away.
If there are samples of howitzers, perhaps those federal craftsmen can imitate them after spending some time and energy, but now Wang Ziming has no samples, only the barrels that are completely blown up like scrap iron. The year of the monkey and the month of the horse...
But who said you can't fight without artillery?
The Union Army relied on artillery because they had few soldiers and soldiers were afraid of death.
Wang Ziming's French line infantry has more than one million soldiers, and all of them are brave and fearless. The fighting power they exploded is definitely much stronger than that of the regular federal army equipped with artillery!
Porto City is so honest, isn't it because it doesn't have the slightest chance of defeating Wang Ziming on land?
An army of more than one million, even if placed on the mainland of the Federation, is a terrifying military force. On the continent of Obaro, it can completely crush all the colonies of the Federation.
The premise is that sufficient logistical food and ammunition supplies can be guaranteed...
It is not a simple matter to supply more than one million troops for an expedition. Didn't Wang Ziming still worry about filling the belly of the French line infantry?
For this reason, they did not hesitate to use the French line infantry as cannon fodder!
However, the Earl of Badajoz, who climbed up and looked into the distance, didn't know that the soldiers in the blue army on the opposite side were not afraid of death. He just regarded them as ordinary federal troops, and even suspected that they were armed civilians of the federal people in disguise.
Because the Earl of Badajoz really couldn't figure out how the Federals mobilized so many troops from the colonies, and the Earl of Badajoz was not an ignorant bumpkin, knowing that the homeland of the Federals was thousands of miles away from the Iberian Peninsula!
