Chapter 125 Battle of Boknam: Skirmish Line

ps: Thank you all for your patience... updates will be resumed from today

The Prince of Dessau's seven Prussian infantry regiments were concentrated around Bokenham as the first line, two were defending at Bokenham, two were on the left with the Mustache Regiment, one was on the right, and the other was left as a reserve.

Behind them are my Hessians and the Fifth Spartan Legion forming the second line, and behind them is a mixture of the Prussian Infantry Regiment and the Foreign Legion.

One hundred and fifty-two artillery pieces of different calibers. The Prince of Dessau's front line was allocated most of the small-caliber infantry artillery. Half of the 6-pounder guns were also placed at the Prince of Dessau. The remaining large-caliber artillery

All on the second line, a small number of 6-pounder guns and infantry artillery were placed on the third line to prevent

Mr. Hessen suddenly came in and hit us from behind, even though I knew Mr. Hessen was unlikely to appear here. You know, when we suddenly turned around, these guys had already retreated far away.

It's far away, at least more than 150 kilometers away from Braunschweig.

The first shot of the battle for Bokenham was fired by the impatient French army at nine ten.

Regarding the enemy I faced this time, the Duke of Villeroy was very much like me in terms of life experience and status.

He is a son of the royal family and holds a high position of power. He is regarded as the most beloved character in the court of Versailles. He is also very young, only less than twenty-nine years old. However, don’t look at the fact that the Duke of Villeroy is only less than twenty-nine years old.

, but he has been galloping on the battlefields of Europe for nine years, and has fought more battles than the military simulation battles I have done. He can handle everything from a hundred-man cavalry charge to a large-scale melee with tens of thousands of people.

Just based on the old scumbag's evaluation of the Duke of Villeroy, the old scumbag doesn't think highly of this French royal nobleman. He thinks that the Duke of Villeroy is like imitating the Grand Condé Prince, but only half of the offensive aesthetics of the Grand Condé.

.And his achievements are also

That's all. Which half of the offensive aesthetics of the Grand Condé was copied by the Duke of Villeroy? The old scumbag did not say, but according to my observation and explanation of the Duke of Villeroy, the half he learned was

It was the fierce attack of Prince Da Kongdai.

Be ruthless to yourself and even ruthless to your enemies.

"French Infantry!!!"

"Warrior of France!!!"

"go ahead!"

The Frenchmen on horseback shouted back and forth among the French infantry lines. In French, which seemed to be stuck in their throats, the French army advanced.

Above one of the infantry regiments, a fluttering flag is printed with an iris. In front of the iris is a coat of arms with red upper and lower blue, and in the center is a white lion with teeth and claws. Above the lion are three golden iris flowers.

Dotted. Looking at the officers below who decorated their three-cornered hats with bright ostrich feathers, their shoulder straps covered with medals and a series of colorful and gorgeous military uniforms, I couldn't help but twitch my lips.

"It seems that the highlight of the French army is not the cavalry!"

I knew it without Constans having to tell me.

The French army dispatched their elite troops for the first time!

The Duke of Villeroy's direct infantry regiment, the "White Lion" Infantry Regiment, but the real name of the "White Lion" Infantry Regiment is the Rhône Infantry Regiment. The name comes from the insignia of their flag, which has a red upper and blue coat of arms.

The coat of arms with a lion with three fleur-de-lis on its head is the coat of arms used by the Duke of Villeroy in the French fief of Rhône.

This infantry regiment accompanied the Duke of Villeroy in a series of incredible battles. The Battle of St. Gothard, the Battle of Alsace, the Battle of Enzeim, the Battle of Lamy, the Battle of Nerwind, Tire

The Battle of Heim... In short. As an infantry regiment privately recruited by the French royal family, the [White Lion] experienced battles

Although many of them cannot be as frightening as the private infantry regiment of Prince Condé, their expressions have changed. However, outstanding combat is not all the reputation of [White Lion]. It is also equally famous as this infantry regiment.

The regiment's extremely high casualty rate and officers' reputation for brutality against their soldiers, as well as very high pay.

Put it this way. If you join the White Lion, you will most likely be sent as cannon fodder by the aristocratic children who regard human life as nothing the next day. You may also be beaten up by the aristocratic children for no reason, or even dragged away to play by the aristocratic children's followers.

It's an inhumane game. But as long as you join that infantry regiment and don't commit any crimes on French territory, you can play whatever you want. Whatever happens, the Duke of Villeroy will take care of it.

The most famous incident was that [The White Lion] camped in a nunnery in the Iberian Peninsula one day. Everyone knows the result. Turenne, the commander-in-chief of the French army at the time, directly arrested the Duke of Villeroy, and the incident exposed Louis.

Facially paralyzed, this guy asked Roy to come forward and accuse him of lax military management. Without punishment or treatment, the Duke of Villeroy continued to become famous.

"Left wing skirmishers, attack. Tell the infantrymen with rifled guns that their target is the French officer. I will shoot the one who is well-dressed. And let Leopold, Moritz, Dietrich

The cavalry moved to the left."

Schwerin and a group of Prussians immediately widened their eyes when they heard this order.

"yes!"

Constans was about to turn around and leave when Schwerin grabbed his arm: "This is not good. This is war, not massacre! Shooting an officer will cause a lot of controversy!"

"I have slaughtered a hundred thousand people in the Netherlands, and I am still afraid of these disputes? Constans, go and give the order."

"The whole battalion of the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 5th Spartan Legion spread out and move to the left side of the enemy! After contacting the enemy, fire freely!"

The high-pitched screams of the officers covered the roar of the artillery, and Stunaras's battalion gradually separated and began to pass the Prussian infantry line in front of them and the artillery on the flanks.

"God, we're just going to go out and shoot the enemy? That's an incredible order!"

"Shut up, soldier, what you have to do now is to execute the order!" Stunalas, as a company officer, told the confused soldiers under his men to shut up, "and separate a little bit, just like we did in Prussia

Mark did that, now is not the time to line up neatly, why are you huddled together!"

Although the scolding was very powerful, Stunalas could not help but beat the drum in his heart. The rows of brass helmets with red feathers on the rims of the French cavalry behind the French infantry line were very conspicuous in Anatolia.

Leah, everyone knows that infantry has no

What is the consequence of forming a thick square formation against the cavalry? It is to be kicked away and knocked over by the cavalry. If that group of French cavalry launches a charge, they will probably go to see God and share it with their ancestors in heaven.

My thoughts on being kicked down by the cavalry.

Seeing the slow pace of the soldiers around him, Stunaras could only shout again: "Look at you cowards! Are these still soldiers of the Roman Legion!!! Don't let our Fifth Spartan Legion defeat the Prussians.

And disgraced in front of the French!! Pick up the pace! Move to the left and we fire on the French from the flank.”

The Prussian infantry who lined up in a neat line opened their eyes wide and looked at the Roman infantry who quickly dispersed from the neat line into no formation at all. If their forward direction was not the enemy's infantry line that was gradually advancing, they would have

One would have thought that this incredible scene was the Romans escaping.

But even this triggered whispers between private soldiers and infantry regiment commanders. The most typical conversation was as follows.

"What's wrong with them?" A Prussian officer wondered, "How can we separate officers from soldiers?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are separated from the soldiers or not. Once the French cavalry comes out, the thousands of people who run out will be knocked down by the French cavalry like wheat."

"God bless those poor Romans."

Soon, the Prussian infantry on the left received an order from their commander, Prince Dessau, to move forward. Not only the infantry, but also the artillery, as well as the large group of cavalry behind them, slowly moved forward.

The long infantry line consisted of hundreds of companies. During this move, the infantry lines of both sides were roughly in line. They gradually approached each other through artillery fire. However, due to the prospect of the Prussian left wing, the French right wing was stronger than other positions.

The friendly forces will attack the enemy in advance.

"Squat down!"

"Free Fire!"

Three or four soldiers fell scattered in the French infantry line. However, this was not the Prussian infantry firing, but the good work of the Roman infantry in front of them. These Roman infantry were either lying on the grass in twos and threes, or squatting.

Behind the slightly undulating lawn raised their muzzles.

After the shooting, many people put away their guns and quickly changed places, loading ammunition in another place they thought was safer. During the whole process, the French army did not fight back, but silently endured these shots that were like mosquito bites.

.

The reason is very simple. This is a very simple mathematical problem. These infantrymen who are too scattered are not worth using the entire line of volleys to kill. Similarly, the French artillery does not need to be replaced by a single shell.

It's not worth a human life. Didn't you have fun seeing the French artillery occupying the high ground bombarding the small village of Bokenham?

But gradually, the Romans became more and more aggressive. They were shooting from two hundred meters away just now, but now they shrunk back to more than ninety meters, shooting under the eyes of the French army.

"What the hell are those cavalry bastards doing? Why haven't they shown up yet to shoo away those flies?"

"Did you waste too much energy on those German sluts last night and can't move today?"

"Hahaha...uh..."

"Guard! Guard! Our company commander was shot!!"
