Tuqi was full of curiosity about the Northridge army opposite him. He even thought that this army might be the most elite regiment in Northridge.
What's more, he once judged that it was the earl of Beiling who used a small number of troops to entangle the Susas troops in front of him, and personally led the most elite Northridge regiment south to confront him personally.
From the telescope, he saw with his own eyes the collapse of the Romell Legion. Under the attack of two consecutive charges, the entire legion actually won easily. Tucci even admired the commander on the opposite side.
"It seems that Viscount Romell has no chance to fulfill his promise." The adjutant stood beside Tucci and said to his superior.
"Yes!" Tuqi rarely looked away from the low wall, and said with some regret and excitement: "It seems that the opposite team is not some unknown force."
"We underestimated the enemy before." The adjutant heard what Tucci said and nodded in agreement: "The opponent is obviously very well prepared."
What he said was actually not accurate, and Tucci didn't particularly agree with this statement in his mind. Because if the opponent was really prepared to fight a blocking battle here, why did he let the loser Romell yesterday?
Did the Viscount get here first?
In fact, Tang Mo had no choice. His troops had too much equipment, and even though they were equipped with dozens of carriages, their marching speed was indeed not very fast.
He was able to reach Sanchakou quickly and slowly, which was actually very reluctant. If the troops he trained were to march in a hurry, their combat effectiveness after arriving at Sanchakou would not be guaranteed.
"Romel can't count on us, so we have to rely on ourselves." Tucci looked at the officers standing beside him, and his eyes fell on a strong man: "Since we can't defeat the frontal attack, then
Why not try a flank attack? Until now, there has been no sound from the flank... Isn't this strange?"
He also guessed that the opponent deployed the main force near the village and was just pretending to be on the road.
That's why we fought on the frontal battlefield for so long, without even a single gunshot from the flank. As a famous battlefield general, Tucci felt that this matter itself was unreasonable.
Moreover, he also calculated the distinctive sound of gunfire on the frontal battlefield. Based on the density, the opponent had deployed at least 200 people there.
Also calculated with reference to the military establishment of this era, the infantry that can be used by a battalion is only about 300, and this number will not exceed too much.
This is equivalent to saying that even if the opponent has a battalion of troops, they will basically be deployed on the frontal battlefield and stay near the village.
In Tuqi's opinion, this was also in line with the opponent's tactical purpose of relying on the village to prepare for an attack, so he was almost certain that the opponent seemed to have their main force on the village and the low wall.
Moreover, he now roughly guessed the opponent's purpose of building that low wall: the opponent had no artillery, so he hoped to use this strange tactic to make up for the weakness of his own artillery, or the lack of artillery at all.
As a veteran, he quickly discovered the shortcomings of this tactical arrangement: concentrated deployment of troops can indeed provide local advantages, but the flanks are also exposed, and the shortcomings are obvious.
At the same time, without the support of heavy firepower, when Susus' troops are fully deployed, the disadvantage of artillery will become apparent, and then there will be no way to defy the odds.
As a result, he almost immediately made battlefield arrangements, preparing to quickly expand the contact area between the two sides, completely exposing the opponent's disadvantage of insufficient troops.
He looked at his trusted general and ordered: "You! Take a battalion and walk 500 meters south, and then cross the road! Go around behind the enemy!"
The officer nodded immediately after hearing the order. As a result, before he could turn around, Tucci stopped him.
The old general of Susas held out two fingers and said with great instructions: "Two tasks! First! See clearly the configuration and number of troops in Beiling! Then send someone back to report immediately! Don't
You make the decision without permission, do you understand?"
The officer nodded.
Tucci continued to say in a cautious tone: "Second! If the enemy attacks you, stabilize your position and hold on there! As long as you hold on until reinforcements arrive, our army will win this battle!"
"I promise you, sir! I will hold on there until the end!" The warrior promised in a naive voice, pressing the sword on his waist.
"Very good! Let's go!" Tucci was relieved, and then continued to order another officer: "You lead a battalion! Advance along the road! Prepare to flank the enemy in the village!"
"Yes, sir!" The officer immediately saluted and led his deputy to another unit in the distance.
At this time, the Susas troops, who were the first to take action, a whole battalion of soldiers, holding battle flags and beating war drums, had already begun to turn around and turned south along the road.
…
"Sir! I saw an enemy army breaking away from the main force and heading south..." A lookout responsible for detecting the enemy's situation put down his telescope and shouted to Tang Mo in the low-lying area.
Tang Mo glanced at Loew and Weiss beside him, and said with a wry smile: "Ha! I'm really lucky to always encounter such a difficult enemy! They found that they couldn't beat them from the front, so they started to circle to the other side.
Already."
There was no way around it, and he also hoped that the other party would be tougher and continue to stalemate him on the road.
As long as the opponent continues to attack, he can guarantee that with the absolute advantage in the rate of fire of the K1 rapid gun, he can hold on here until dark with a company of troops.
It is a pity that the enemy is obviously not a fool, but immediately changed his tactics after suffering heavy losses in two consecutive attacks.
Loew was a little nervous again at this time. It was really his first time to experience a battle of this scale. It was not easy for him to persist until now.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I heard him ask Tang Mo: "Then let's..."
"There is no way... We have few people, and it is no longer easy to fight like this." Tang Mo shook his head and said: "We can only follow the pre-plan and expose our strength."
Loew felt a little regretful and said unwillingly: "But..."
"There's nothing wrong with it...Compared to exposing our strength, we don't want to see losses." Tang Mo explained.
As he spoke, he waved to his entourage who was holding a horse in the distance and waiting for orders: "The other party is about to come into contact with Redman's troops. I'm going to take command personally. Now we have only two choices, either to destroy this unit."
The troops that cut in must either abandon the entire retreat and return to the village."
"I'll leave this place to you." Seeing the entourage leading the war horse, Tang Mo glanced at Loew again and said: "You are just a straw bag across from here, just stay here and wait for us to come back. Don't be nervous!
"
"Sir, I will definitely hold on until you come back." Loew promised.
"Very good!" Tang Mo didn't say anything more, but took the reins from his entourage and climbed onto the horse unskillfully: "Follow me! Weiss!"
Weiss also got on his horse and followed Tang Mo: "As you wish, sir!"
"Do you think... there is a chance of winning?" Tang Mo didn't even look back, and rushed towards Redman's troops in the distance along the roadbed.
"I think it's still too late to run away now." Weiss curled his lips and provided Tang Mo with the safest option: "You are just a businessman, there is no need to take risks."
"If I escape today, I will be just a businessman in this life." Tang Mo looked at Weiss and suddenly said seriously: "A businessman who can sell everything, don't you think it's sad?"
"It's more sad to be dead." Weiss shrugged.
"You have to give it a try, right? In life, you are never willing to accept more, right?" Tang Mo smiled and pinched the horse's belly, letting the horse gallop forward.
"Do you know why I have to fight this battle today? Because I expanded my production capacity, trained students, and recruited workers... If no one buys our weapons, then everything will be over!" Tang Mo galloped on his horse,
He explained without looking back.
His firm voice echoed in the wilderness: "So I must win here today! I must make my weapons the only hope for victory! I must let people all over the world hear the sound of my gun! Let them remember
Let’s live under one name…Datang Weapon Group!”
"You're right!" Weiss effortlessly rode up to catch up with Tang Mo, who was not good at riding: "I find that I am getting more and more crazy when I follow you."
Tang Mo didn't say anything, just laughed.
Redman, who had been staying hidden as agreed in advance and had not participated in the battle, anxiously put down the telescope in his hand, because a scout had just brought back news that less than a kilometer south of his location, there was an unexpected sight.
An enemy force began to cross the roadbed.
It was too late to wait for Tang Mo's order. Redman knew what he had to do to buy precious time.
So, he looked at the herald and ordered loudly: "Get ready to fight!"
The ordering soldier saluted him with a military salute, turned around and ran towards the direction where the troops were stationed.
Afterwards, some officers who heard the order stood up and exposed their heads in the weeds that were half a man tall. Their hoarse voices echoed in the wilderness at the same time: "Everyone stand up! Prepare to fight!"
"The rest is over! Check weapons! Prepare to fight!" Soon, more shouts joined in, and the soldiers stood up in the grass one by one and looked at the enemy troops on the roadbed over there.
Just when Redman was nervously preparing to issue other orders, a voice that made him relieved sounded from behind him: "Sir! Lord Tang Mo is here! He and Lord Weiss are here!"
