245 Cavalry Destroyed
"Change the gun! Don't worry about accidental injury!"
The guard infantry officer in charge of commanding the artillery shouted wildly with his commanding knife on his face.
With the abundant physical energy of the guard infantry, the heavy artillery completed the collective turn at a speed that the Prussian charge cavalry could not imagine!
This is not one or two cannons, but hundreds of cannons have completed the steering!
However, since the Prussian charge cavalry chose to rush from the flanks of the artillery position, the artillery moved forward and backward too slowly, the artillery only had time to turn the gun mouth. If you shoot at this time, the artillery in the front row would easily be accidentally killed by the shotgun of the artillery in the rear row!
Of course, the guards infantry don't care!
They are willing to dedicate their lives to Lord Li Wei, just to win!
Only those relatively lightweight mortar gunners have time to carry the mortar gun to avoid the ejection area of the field gun shotgun, and the parabolic shooting method of the mortar can also ensure that they will not injure the guard infantry who work part-time field gunners in front.
The Prussian general who led the charge cavalry with the Prussian brigade, and the Prussian general who took the lead, saw that the artillery soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion opposite were like those infantry, and none of them retreated or even panicked, a sharp look suddenly appeared on his face.
“God is with us!
Long live Prussia!!!”
A general charged with cavalry, which made the morale of these Prussian chargers reach its peak in a very short time. Even with the black muzzles ahead, they still looked firm, fully demonstrating the sense of honor that a true Prussian soldier deserves.
The Prussian sprinted the final speed-up sprint, and the lances slowly began to slowly lay down. The last wave of the sprint was not equipped with a spear, but raised the sabre in his hand diagonally upwards.
The sound of horse hooves shocked the earth. The guard infantry who had turned the gun to complete the reload of shotguns could even feel the trembling from the ground under his feet!
However, the expressions on the faces of these guard infantry soldiers were very calm, and they began to ignite the fuse on their bodies with rigorous movements, preparing to ignite the explosive pack behind them at the last moment.
Since Carl used self-destructive tactics to defeat the attacks of hundreds of thousands of revolutionary troops in the country, the "custom" of carrying large amounts of explosive packs on guard infantry has become popular in the Black Dragon Legion.
Even middle- and low-level officers do this!
Only senior generals who do not know how to go to the battlefield will not carry dangerous explosive packs on themselves.
The existence of being able to be promoted to an officer in the Black Dragon Legion with a high mortality rate may not be a seed of famous generals, but at least it has military talents than most ordinary people. Especially being promoted to a senior general who requires brains is a valuable asset of the Black Dragon Legion.
The reorganization of the French National Defense Forces was not only retained by Li Wei in France, but most of the officers were promoted from the former Black Dragon Legion.
The requirements of grassroots officers are not high, as long as they are brave enough and have rich practical experience, this condition can be met by almost every Black Dragon Legion guard infantry who has participated in the battle.
Therefore, Li Wei never lacks grassroots officers, and middle-level officers generally play a role in connecting the past and the future, but the combat tasks they undertake alone are not too complicated, so the requirements for officers' knowledge level are not high. As long as you read the infantry tactical exercises issued by Li Wei, the army department will be competent.
Only senior generals are truly scarce talents for Li Wei, so Li Wei repeatedly ordered the senior generals and officials in the Black Dragon Legion to protect themselves as much as possible and not go to the front line easily.
Fortunately, during the reorganization of the French National Wehrmacht, a large number of former revolutionary army officers of the country rescue army joined the training, allowing Li Wei to solve the problem of lack of middle and senior officers.
In a sense, the government supervised the government can be said to have helped Li Wei solve many problems.
"fire!"
The field artillery in the front took the lead in firing out a lot of shotguns. The Prussian general who was leading the way was firmly protected by his own guards. In a laddered wall-like charge, the first row of charge cavalry suddenly had several gaps in the slump.
Immediately afterwards, the second batch of third batches... and so on, a field gun baton usually shoots shotguns in a fan-shaped area, and the Prussian cavalry general who took the lead at the beginning has retreated to the second wall-type charge wave.
At the same time, the first wall-type charge cavalry formation was completely disbanded by continuous shots of shots. The first wave of charge cavalry was only a few lucky ones left, and they had to turn their horses to circle around the combat area from both sides.
While running away, these lucky few were shot down several people by part-time artillery soldiers who were guard infantrymen with muskets.
When the general of the Prussian charge cavalry saw that the first wave of his command was broken up by cannons before he could catch the enemy, he was shocked and quickly suppressed his speed and slowly retreated into the third wave and the last wave behind.
Most of the charge cavalry that had already begun the final sprint did not see their general transforming into a coward, and the charge cavalry were focusing their attention in front of them.
The second wave was still the charge cavalry holding a spear, and the third wave was equipped with a sabre.
It’s not that the Prussian cavalry cannot afford enough spears, but that the use of spears is much higher than that of a saber.
If you want to understand the spear immediately, the training time and training cost need to be borne much higher than that of ordinary saber cavalry.
Therefore, no major European power can train all charge cavalry to become spear cavalry, but instead use spear cavalry with higher training costs and sabre cavalry with low training costs.
Anyway, after the front row of spear cavalry tear opens the enemy's infantry array, the saber cavalry can follow in and cut and kill. The biggest purpose of the spear is to break the formation.
Killing enemies is a purpose that comes with it.
Of course, precisely because the spear cavalry has to stand at the forefront to break the formation every time they charge, the casualty rate of this army is also the largest, and the spear cavalry in each country is in a stage of supply and demand.
And once a war breaks out, the spear cavalry will be difficult to replenish the spear cavalry lost on the battlefield during the war due to the problem of too long training.
On the other hand, as long as you find some good horsemanship, you can get on the battlefield after a few months of training.
At most, queue training for wall charge tactics can take a little more time.
Although there is a considerable gap between the three waves, this gap is nothing compared to the speed of the light cavalry sprinting with all their might.
The horses and even the wounded were ruthlessly stepped by the second wave of unavoidable wall-type charge cavalry teammates.
This is the limitation of wall-type charge. In order to maintain the strictness and density of the storm-type formation, it is difficult for them to avoid teammates falling down in front.
The officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion were all crazy!
A madman who doesn't want to live!
This is a true inner portrayal of the third wave of Prussian Charges.
The second wave of Prussian charge spear cavalry was even more tragic than the first wave of the Prussian generals saw almost no Prussian cavalry on horseback...
The third wave of Prussian Chariot Cavalry began to turn in panic under the command of their general, and the familiar sound of cannons sounded again behind them.
A shotgun shot straight into the sky, and a curved flowering bullet fell from the sky!
The Prussian general only felt a sudden explosion coming from his side. A thought came to his mind with rich war experience: "No, I was hit by the flower bullet!"
The next second, the Prussian general felt a severe pain coming from many parts of his body. His strength disappeared in an instant, and he fell off his horse like a rag.
The last scene of this Prussian cavalry general during his lifetime was his beloved mount, and his huge body fell horizontally, just pressing against his lower body!
After the huge weight was smashed down, the Prussian general suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his entire vision was suddenly covered by bright red, and he quickly immersed in the eternal darkness...
The last wave of Prussian charge saber cavalry was sturdy to be hit by nearly half of the field artillery and all the mortars, and most of the cavalry were knocked down on the spot!
The remaining cavalry fled in amid the terrified shouts.
Then, the guard infantry, who was part-time artillery, picked up his smoothbore, blew out the lit fuse, took the initiative to step on the wailing combat area everywhere, and began to finish the attacks on the undead Prussian charge cavalry one by one.
As for the horse, those with minor injuries and non-injuredness will also be repaired if they are seriously injured.
The commander-in-chief of the Prussian army in the rear was once again shocked by the terrifying fighting will of the officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion after seeing the miserable battle situation of the cavalry on their side.
This was the first time he had seen the "self-detonating infantry" of the Black Dragon Legion with his own eyes, which was more impactful than the rumored ones.
He glanced at his only remaining reserve team and the defeated soldiers rescued from the front line, gritted his teeth, intending to violate the pre-war agreement with Austrian friendly forces, and issued an order to retreat the entire army.
However, the guard infantry that had rapidly changed from a hollow square formation to an offensive horizontal formation would not let these Prussian troops go.
Polkha held up the monocular lens and saw that the Prussian army began to retreat as a whole, he immediately issued an order to attack the entire army.
Under the orders of the officers, the Prussian line infantry no longer maintained a strict formation, but carried their weapons and equipment to jog and retreat. The artillery that had difficulty moving was all destroyed with explosives!
The Prussian army still has no valuable equipment left to the enemy.
