Human beings have created many miracles, but the most spectacular one must be war.
The armies confront each other and fight in a bloody battle to determine the ownership of the world. Only true heroes cannot control it.
Accompanying Zhang Yan and standing on the top of Dai County's city wall, Zhang Yong and the other three looked around curiously with binoculars.
This kind of sharp weapon that can see far away allows them to understand how powerful the National Defense Force is.
But the three of them were worried about the situation on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, I have few soldiers, and they are all infantry. If we form an array on the plain, I am afraid that I am using my own shortcomings to counter the enemy's strong strength!"
In the eyes of Zhang Yong and the others, the contrast between the formations of the National Defense Force and the Qing Army was too stark.
The strength of the National Defense Force was far inferior to that of the Qing Army, and there were only a few flags, unlike the various flags of the Qing Army that covered the sky and moved people's hearts.
The National Defense Forces just set up square formations one after another on the plains. Although they were well-proportioned, they seemed too thin.
Zhang Yan understood what they were worried about.
Behind them, the Qing army pushed up the few remaining artillery pieces and began bombarding the Wehrmacht positions.
There is such a thing in the sky, and all his deployments are clearly visible, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of combat.
The general on the opposite side was also cunning enough and waited until the Qing army began to attack before releasing the hot air balloon.
But on the battlefield, the consequences of increasing distance are also obvious.
I never expected that there would be such strict rules within the National Defense Forces.
When he saw a living person in the basket under the hot air balloon, he finally felt a little relieved, knowing that this thing was not some magical weapon.
After all, the title of king is just a title, and the position in the military may not necessarily be very high. Is it possible that at that time, the title will be higher than the position?
While chatting on the city wall, the battle began.
Of course it's because the artillery range of the Wehrmacht is too far.
However, in the military, it is only commensurate with the job title, which is appropriate.
Excluding the anti-artillery part, there were still hundreds of artillery pieces that began to attack the Qing army's charge formation.
When these artillery shells landed in the Qing army's array, they immediately transformed into gods of death, frantically harvesting lives.
Each company has about a hundred men, and a line of five companies is enough to cover the entire battlefield. In total, the troops at the front are only one battalion.
The entire regiment takes companies as units and is arranged in a linear array.
Therefore, he issued a strict order that even if the firepower of the National Defense Forces in front of him was fierce, all units could only move forward and not retreat.
This kind of thing is really too shocking to people of the current era.
Shuosei ran on the front line, cheering the soldiers crazily.
After walking another thousand meters, the looseness of the formation was already visible to the naked eye.
Tens of thousands of Qing troops suddenly burst into shrill howls, and their pace suddenly accelerated.
In less than a minute, the Wehrmacht artillery counterattack arrived.
But when it came time to fight for his life, Shuo Sai couldn't care about anything. He could only set an example and lead his soldiers in a mad dash.
Especially in order to reduce the lethality of the Wehrmacht's artillery fire, the Qing army also formed a relatively loose formation.
Why did the Qing army set up formations farther away?
When the Qing army launched an attack, four hot air balloons rose into the sky in Dai County, causing the first wave of shock.
Compared with the Qing army, the National Defense Forces had far too many artillery pieces.
At the very least, when the Qing army begins to attack, it will be a severe test for their array.
He picked up the telescope and looked more carefully.
Duduo knew that there was no way out now. If they didn't defeat the National Defense Force in front of them, they would all die here.
He could only ask the messenger to blow the horn and make the soldiers march slower, trying to keep the line as intact as possible.
And just when he was hesitating, the sound of the horn of the front army reached his ears.
At the beginning, the formation of the Qing army seemed relatively rigorous, with clear lines and consistent steps, rolling forward with the power of a strong army.
On the Wehrmacht side, the 36th Regiment was at the forefront.
Shuo Sai, who was in charge of commanding the front army, certainly saw this situation in his eyes, but he couldn't express his pain.
But as a result, the quality requirements for soldiers have undoubtedly increased a lot.
The sound of the attack horn resounded through the wilderness, and the Qing army began to roll forward slowly.
Explosive air currents swept around him from time to time, killing many of his soldiers.
However, after walking more than a thousand meters, it was obvious to the naked eye that the Qing army's array began to show twists and turns.
All the Qing soldiers looked at the hot air balloon in the sky in astonishment, feeling uncontrollable fear in their hearts.
Otherwise, if he had seen the hot air balloon first, Duduo would not have ordered an attack anyway.
Now the Qing army's infantry array is less than a thousand meters away from the National Defense Forces. Even if they want to retreat, they have to worry about the National Defense Forces taking advantage of the situation to cover them up.
If they still arrange their formations in the same way as in the past, they may be beaten to pieces by the artillery of the National Defense Forces before they even get into the formation.
Zhang Yong and the others were startled and quickly responded.
Duduo also stood up from his horse and stared at the hot air balloon, his body trembling to a degree visible to the naked eye.
"Don't stop, go faster!"
Shuosei received no other orders and could only launch a strong attack according to the established plan.
Shuosei didn't dare to bear that kind of consequences.
Retreating is an inevitable choice.
But just after a round of artillery shells was fired, the hot air balloons in the sky gave guidance to the artillery of the Wehrmacht.
"Don't worry, our army has its own tactics and will never let the Qing army get any favors."
In the center of the infantry square, artillery was already in place.
He thought of something else, and told Zhang Yong and the others: "I am in the army now, so you can just call me by my position. When I get outside, I can use my title to match."
But then his face became increasingly ugly.
The rest of the troops are deployed in different directions, each with their own uses.
Twenty artillery shells exploded one after another near the Qing artillery, destroying the artillery on the spot and killing most of the gunners.
The army has already launched an attack and cannot stop to reorganize at this time.
If he dared to do this, the National Defense Force might take advantage of the chaos of the Qing army to launch a surprise attack.
"You see, the Qing army's formation is about five miles further back than before. This greatly increases their fighting distance. This change will cause them huge losses."
In the valley, the roaring sound of artillery echoed endlessly, making people feel dizzy, their heartbeats accelerated, and they became unsteady on their feet.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yan became a teacher.
Seeing that he was so brave, Duduo was very pleased and looked to the left wing with his telescope.
Over there, Baiyin Tu did not give in too much. He led his men to move among the ravines and hills, approaching the 35th Regiment with massive casualties.
As a result, there were only more than 5,000 people from the 36th Regiment on the frontal battlefield.
"Tuen Qi, send out troops, follow Shuo Sai, and be sure to disrupt the enemy's formation!"
