Chapter 44

"The morale is not as good as others, and the Prussians have a fatal weakness. They don't have as many cavalry as the Swedes. Okay, how should we fight?" Constans rode on one side and watched calmly as the army gradually approached the opponent.

I issued a series of orders to the artillery unit and then said: "Let's first see if the so-called Karl XII's skills on the battlefield are as good as his words."

At this time, the Swedes opened fire with 6 cannons in front of them. From the looks and range, they should be 8-pounders. We had 12-pounders here, but they did not launch shelling at a distance of 800 meters like the Swedes.

.

Our four 12-pound guns were deployed at 760 meters, and our eight eight-pound guns were deployed on the left and right wings at 710 meters.

At this time, the Swedes also pushed most of their artillery into suitable positions. They deployed a total of 17 cannons in the 200-meter space between 600 meters and 800 meters.

The numbers of both sides were roughly the same, and neither army had launched all its cannons.

As the two armies continued to approach, the Swedes pointed the muzzles of four more cannons at us.

"There are 21 cannons in total, plus what I caught with my eyes, the Swedish cannons are only 26." The sound of cannons rumbled, and Constans said to me, "Do you want artillery to suppress their cannons?"

The Swedish artillery obviously wanted to bombard our artillery, but after several shellings, the shells missed the target. I also lowered my alert to these Swedish artillery, which only knocked down a dozen infantrymen once after four test fires.

I fired three more 8-pounders to bombard the Swedish front infantry line and stopped the artillery that increased the fire suppression in the rear.

"We obviously have so many cannons, why don't we open up and bombard the Swedes? Look, because of you, every Swedish bombardment can hit us!" Feletelia jumped out of nowhere.

I waved my hand and asked Constans to order the 12-pounder cannon to suppress the four Swedish cannons closest to us, and then said later: "Of course I have my reasons for doing this."

We have more than 60 cannons after capturing the cannons in Berlin and the battle in Dresden. But lining up and bombing indiscriminately can easily allow Karl XII to find a breakthrough point.

Slowly, the gunners on both sides found the feeling.

The casualties of the infantry on our side gradually increased. Two rounds of shelling by the Swedes took away the lives of 20 or 30 of us. However, it did not take long for them to be proud. The number of artillery to suppress them was still not as good as the 33rd.

The artillerymen of the Spartan Army were experienced. Under one round of bombardment from the 12-pounder cannon, a spot two meters near a Swedish artillery position was blown to pieces, and two cannons were destroyed by us.

At this time, the party abandoned the dark side and defected to the bright side and took the lead in launching an offensive.

To be precise, it was me who asked the Ming Qi to open fire at a distance of two hundred meters.

The Swedish army fell down in four lines in front, talking about several people.

According to Constans, Maurice, who had gone to become a berserker, came back, and he gloated: "Those guys are really unlucky."

I sent an order for the four newly formed artillery batteries to move their 4-pounder guns gradually toward the front line through the lines of infantry.

Abandoning the dark side and defecting to the Ming Dynasty was at a distance of 40 meters. He was loading ammunition hurriedly as he walked. He was about to reach the enemy after almost 160 meters. They had only fired two rounds. Counting the round just now, three shots would only be enough.

The Swedes inflicted more than ten casualties.

As expected, psychological quality is very important in volleyball battles. I ordered these wealthy and noble men to withdraw from the front line.

After receiving the order, they ran 30 meters in panic and retreated through the marching channel vacated by the first line of infantry.

The retreat from the Dark Side to the Ming Party aroused considerable interest among the Swedes. I saw Karl XII in his camp mobilizing his troops for the first time.

"Here comes the cavalry!" cried Constans.

I smiled and said, "What a truly offensive general. He was well prepared and ordered the entire army to stop advancing."

The entire army stopped advancing 170 meters away from the Swedes.

"Fire."

The grassroots commander on the front line ordered to shoot, and all three lines on the front line pulled the trigger. The fire flashed and white smoke poured out from the muzzle of the gun.

"What's the use of firing from such a long distance?" Feletelia came back.

"Are you okay?" I asked. I glanced behind me again, but I didn't see Hans.

"The war is important! Don't ask about irrelevant things."

I replied nonchalantly: "At least I didn't let them do a round of shooting."

"Why not?"

"Rotate firing can be a very good and effective attack on recruits, making them rush when reloading ammunition. Sometimes some people can't reload the bullets several times. If they see the people around them falling down, they will simply run away. It's just that

Rotary fire is aimed at veterans, and those experienced soldiers are far less effective than three-line volley fire. However, there are no omnipotent regulations on the battlefield, and everything can only be done according to the commander's judgment."

"Oh. Wait, you didn't answer my previous question!"

"The Swedes have stopped advancing," Constance interrupted before I could answer.

More than 20 Swedes fell, but they stopped after advancing more than 20 meters, and then launched a counterattack.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two sides actually exchanged shots at a distance of 150 meters.

Every time the two armies fired a salvo, ten or twenty people fell down, but this number was a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands of soldiers deployed on the front line.

I laughed dumbly and said, "Karl Twelve is a little cautious."

"I think he is looking for our weakness!" Constans said, pointing to the constantly moving Swedish cavalry in the army. "Once Karl XII discovers our weakness, these cavalry will charge quickly."

Feletelia asked: "How could he notice it?"

I replied: "Based on experience, when a group of new recruits shoot against a group of veterans, the rhythm of the new recruits is quickly disrupted and they are at a disadvantage, just like the Hitler regiment I placed on the front line. You see, many

Everyone is in a hurry."

Constans frowned and said: "The Swedish artillery in Hitler's regiment has become denser. The Swedes want to pave the way for the cavalry charge below!"

Sure enough, the Swedish infantry began to advance again.

"It doesn't matter, I've already prepared it."

The 11 4-pounders were pushed to the front line before the Swedish infantry could move further than 10 meters away. I gave the order to fire quickly.

"Have them open fire. Solid shells. Three rounds. Loaded with shotgun shells."

The muzzles of 11 4-pound guns were raised horizontally. Facing the superior artillery suppression of the Swedes, our cannons, although not very big, still roared their voice in this battle.

A large cloud of white smoke rose up, and soon after, many Swedish infantrymen were flying with blood and flesh, and some even had their severed limbs thrown into the sky.

Due to our artillery, the front -line Swedish infantry stopped again, and the Swedish cavalry turned from behind to the front line and then withdrew from the two wings. Calle 12 obviously made the next plan. So this allowed the front -line infantry of the two armies to enter again

Fighting each other. But this time the person who fell was more casualties than the previous moment. Each round of shooting, at least thirty people fell to the ground.

"I am curious about what to do in Karl 12 next." I said, looking at the battlefield where the front line was getting stronger and stronger.

"The left and right wing artillery is dense."

"More than a thousand cavalry of the Swedish cavalry ran out of the right wing, and it was coming to our right!"

"Two 6 -pound guns appear at the right -wing infantry line. If we do nothing. The Swedes may be the main attack on the left -wing to open the gap!"

Ferreteria was dull for a while, and she screamed in surprise: "Shouldn't it be the right wing? We should be prepared to reinforce the right wing."

"If you did this. That would be the nose for Carl in Sweden. They were to increase the right -wing offensive. Try to mislead us to think that the focus of their offensive is on the right.

During the right wing, when he was in trouble, our left wing and the middle would not be able to maintain the front due to the lack of reserve reserve. When the left or main formation collapsed, the right wing would lose morale even if there was a large number of reserve teams.

Winning. Of course. If the right -wing cavalry failed to perform the task of blocking their cavalry to block the Swedish cavalry, then the attack would become a real main attack. "I pointed at the Prussian cavalry who came out of the right wing." You said, "You

Seeing that our cavalry is restrained. Once the Swedes break our cavalry, they will enter our right wing, and then the infantry team must be charge. If this line cannot be stabilized, then the right wing will be in danger of collapse. "

Flegeeia turned a faint look, and finally it was estimated that she didn't know what she was saying: "It's too complicated. By the way, then their cavalry is not containing us, why do they have the power to launch an attack?"

It's not the time for teaching. I asked Constantinus: "Why do you judge that it is the left wing, not the middle?"

"Enemies infantry, although the enemy's infantry is middle -aged, the clothes you wear are relatively new, and then look at the hands of those Swedish recruits.

Try tactics, their true elite is on the second line. "Constantinus said.

"Oh, so?" I really didn't pay attention to these details.

Use a cavalry to drag our infantry with the right wing, and the left -wing infantry will launch an charge again.

The twelve avoiding artillery chose two wings to launch an offense, and then let the obvious weak travel of the Hitler group collapsed with the collapse of the two wings. In the end, the battle was over.

"Let a regiment's cavalry move to the left wing." My troops also had two full regiments who disguised themselves into cavalry.

"This is not a good idea, do you persist?"

"Yes."

"good."

Constantus was a bit helpless, but still issued my order. As our horse riding infantry moved to the left, the Swedes's artillery attack gradually became smaller, but accordingly, they sent a cavalry brigade 300 in the right wing.

People joined the right -wing cavalry battle.

After the blue and dark blue rider held a horse knife, after launching a relative charge of the right -wing place separately, he dragged the war horses to catch the fight in place.

Swedish, the defeat should be a matter sooner or later.

"Infantry, 20 meters forward."

I responded to the Swedes. At least before the Cavalry War, we could still shoot. This is what I want. Compared with the bayonet, the shooting can play a better player of Prince De Sha for the Prussian infantry of Prussia infantry.

Strict training advantages, and by the way, you can also create a lot of smoke, so you can shoot ah, and make every effort to shoot!

Constantus said the bad feature of my mobile cavalry: "Because of your cavalry movement, the Swedes can only break through from the front or right wing, but before they launch the infantry charge, they will use the morale advantage of infantry to continue

Fitting on the ground, I suspect that our infantry will be able to withstand the casualties and retreat first. The Prussians behind Hitler Group, I feel that they are more unreliable than those in the Hitler. "

Seeing that the smoke in the battlefield was getting more and more filled, I laughed: "What are you afraid of, push the artillery up."

The development of the situation is as developing as Constantine's imagination. Seeing that the cavalry of the right wing Swedes gradually occupy the upper hand, Shi Weilin sent the last cavalry brigade up.

The flute sound, they moved forward again.

Qi shot, hundreds of first -line lines fell to the ground.

"Swede!"

"Charge, win for your king!"
