104 I can't bear it

"For the glory of Lord Levi, attack!"

A second lieutenant among the guard infantry, waved his command knife with one hand and a flintlock pistol in the other, and took the first step to rush to the trench with his subordinates carrying a straw bag.

After being discovered by the defenders of Caen City, the guards infringing at night suddenly shouted and shouted, causing great psychological pressure to the defenders!

Then, the first group of guard infantry arrived, holding bullets with a lack of head (because it was dark) and began to quickly fill out attack passages in front of the trench.

The dark night made it difficult to aim for both sides' muskets, especially the attacking guard infantry who only ignited a small number of torches. In the eyes of the defenders, even the figures could not be seen clearly!

Therefore, although the defenders were not suppressed by the firepower of the guard infantry like the daytime, their counterattacks were all fired to give themselves courage. Ninety-nine percent of the defenders just shot bullets out to complete the task and did not aim at it at all!

These defenders all come from the bottom of the Normandy region. In this era of malnutrition, the bottom of the group means that they are generally night blind!

The guard infantry on the attacking side did not lit many torches to light them, and to these defenders, they were like blind people.

On the contrary, they were surrounded by illuminated torches, which made them very clear in the eyes of the guards infantry, and even if their vision was not as good as during the day, it would not prevent them from aiming.

However, most of the guard infantry in the attack did not fire, and only some long-range sharpshooters were firing there.

Because once the guard infantry opens fire, the fire generated when the smoothbore rifle is activated will allow the defenders who are generally night blind to target.

Even with torches at night, the vision is far inferior to that during the day, so the guard infantry cannot perform precise firepower suppression like during the day, and suppress the defenders after the chest fortification so that they cannot raise their heads.

At most, it has some advantage in shooting. Naturally, this advantage is not worth the risk of the guards' infantry.

Most of the guard infantry rushed up were hunched and filled the trenches there, chopping and clearing obstacles such as horse-rejecting horses and wooden fences.

Finally, put the small wooden ladder on the chest wall!

It was not until the guard infantry began to set up small wooden ladders that the night blind patients could see the guard infantry clearly and rush to shoot down.

At this time, the guard infantry, who had cleared most of the obstacles to advance, suddenly took out the black primitive thunder and threw it behind the chest fortification.

At the same time, the mortar unit that had already been in place was no longer hidden. Under the officer's slogan, the flowering bullet fell almost at the back of the chest fortification at the same time as the thunder!

The guard infantry who did not clear the roadblocks were already standing in a queue of guns in the dark. After seeing the signal, they no longer hid their positions and fired guns at the guard soldiers under the torches of the chest defense line!

The firepower of the three of them burst out instantly immediately shocked the defenders' soldiers.

Captain Wright stared at the explosions in his defense zone in a daze, muttering to himself: "I knew it would be like this!

Fighting with the Li Wei rebels was a mistake. They had reached the level of a first-class European army, but they were making our provincial coalition forces that were only stronger than the militia to fight against them!"

In a vague way, Captain Wright's memory appeared before his eyes - the battle of the British regular army head-on by crushing the so-called American Continental Army in the American War of Independence!

At this time, the battle between the Levi rebels and the Normandy Provincial Coalition was much like the American Continental Army, which encountered the British regular army in the plains?

The combat effectiveness of both sides is completely unequal, this is a one-sided crushing battle!

No, in Captain Wright's eyes, the individual infantry under the rebels' rebels had stronger combat capabilities than the British Redshirts.

At least the British Redshirts won't fight to the death!

The reason why Captain Wright had time to stare here was because he no longer needed command of the battle on the front line, or he could no longer command his own troops!

During that wave of outbreak, the entire company under Captain Wright completely collapsed!

A collapse without suspense...

Captain Wright's adjutant grabbed Wright, who was still in a daze, and shouted anxiously: "Sir, run away quickly, the people of Levi's rebels are about to cross the chest wall!"

Captain Wright suddenly woke up, turned his head and looked behind the second line of defense with some torches dotted in the darkness behind him. His mind seemed to have not come back to his senses for a moment, and he asked subconsciously:

"Where are reinforcements?

According to General Karnor's tactics, shouldn't a large number of reinforcements be sent here at this time?

Just like the battle yesterday.”

“Sir!

It's so dark now that even if there are reinforcements, I can't catch up in a while!

The second line of defense is so big that most of the soldiers are sleeping in the tent!”

Captain Wright finally remembered that night battles and normal battles during the day were different.

Although the front line has a high defense and alert force at night, and even the front line itself has enough defenders, the reinforcements in the rear cannot be on standby like during the day and support them at any time.

Otherwise, if tens of thousands of troops do not sleep together, how can they fight during the day?

What's more, under the judgment of the big guys, the probability of the Li Wei rebels' night attack today is not high. After all, many of the fortifications of the Li Wei rebels' rebels are not yet complete during the day.

Of course, if the troops guarding the second line of defense can last longer, the reserve reinforcements that woke up later will come sooner or later, and it will be no different from yesterday's battle.

Unfortunately, the combat efficiency of the guard infantry is completely non-human. Not to mention the provincial coalition forces of the second-line troops, even the regular front-line army can't stand the fast-paced battles like the guard infantry!

Sure enough, without follow-up reinforcements, he was so bombed that he turned to the front line garrison troops that collapsed. He soon saw the guard infantry climbing up along the small ladder.

At this time, not all the troops were as incompetent as Captain Wright's men, and had no resistance. They only knew how to run around (it was too dark, and night blindness could not find the right route to escape!)…

There are still many revolutionary enthusiasm and high-pitched teams who gritted their teeth and stayed on their own defense line and engaged in brutal bayonet fights with the guard infantry who had just climbed up.

When faced with such a guard infantry, the newly emerged guards often had several bayonets piercing towards their heads. They could not react at all and were immediately penetrated into flesh and blood...
