"Transport the cannons to a distance of one hundred meters from the enemy, and replace them with grape bombs and bombard them!

Long live the Emperor!!!”

The Guard Infantry, the artillery commander, ordered the Guard Infantry gunners under his command.

As for the original artillery, they had long been scared away by the fierce battle...

At this time, the original obstacles were no longer visible on the battlefield. The densely packed corpses swallowed up the land on the entire battlefield, and the piles were higher than the sandbag!

The guard infantry had to push heavy artillery forward on the slippery corpses, and put the artillery in place before the Prussian army launched the next attack.

They don't need to maintain the continuous firing of the artillery, just spray out scattered grape bullets at the moment the enemy rushed up.

Not long after, another shaking shouts of killing sounds sounded from afar.

Since the ground was already covered with corpses of both sides, it was impossible to line up to fight. The red-eyed Prussian officer simply ordered the soldiers under his command to learn the Russian tactics and rush forward with bayonets!

Of course, in the battlefield where one foot and one body part are used, the so-called charge is actually walking quickly. If you run, you are simply uncomfortable and you will trip over by inexplicable "objects".

Sometimes he would even suddenly stretch out his hands and some "lucky man" who had a breath of breath woke up and grabbed the ankles of the passing soldiers!

“For Prussia!

For the king!”

At this moment, the Junker officers showed the biggest difference from other continental countries. They waved command knives or flintlock pistols and took the lead in charging with their own teams.

It was these Junker noble officers who led the Prussian regiment that still had the ability to launch a huge offensive in the face of huge casualties.

The crowds on the opposite side have already covered the horizon, at least in the eyes of the guards infantry on the front line.

All the guard infantrymen were helpers, pushing the heavy artillery to a place where they could be fired, stacking simple artillery towers with corpses, and then filling them with grape bullets.

After doing all this, the guards infantry stood in line with guns, holding their heads and chests, carrying explosive bags behind them, hanging on their waists with slowly burning fire notes, and lifting their flintlock rifles with both hands to aim at the crowd opposite.

"Everyone is not allowed to fire, put the enemy within 30 yards!"

The officers of the Guards infantry kept repeating the commands.

These are all rules set by Napoleon, because Napoleon knew that Prussian soldiers attached great importance to reloading speed and shooting speed in training camps.

In addition, the military strength of the Kingdom of Prussia can even be compared with the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland on the other side of the strait. The musket performance is excellent, which makes the Prussian private's reloading speed not much slower than that of the Roman Guards.

Therefore, even if the Roman Guards can have a certain advantage in volleyball shooting, they will often pay a high price.

After all, this makes the lead bullet very large, and as long as it is not hit by the limbs, it will basically be saved.

Even if they are lucky enough to penetrate the limbs, the best outcome will be amputation and become a useless person. Obviously, the brainwashing training of the Roman Guards does not allow them to become a useless person. They would rather be self-destructive than be a disabled person!

Therefore, for the Roman Guards soldiers, being hit means losing combat personnel!

Because of this, Napoleon felt that queuing with the Prussian army was an inefficient way to kill the enemy, and it was better to use close-range volleys, cannon shotgun and self-destruction bayonet tactics to be effective.

When facing the closely-arranged Prussian regiment, Napoleon's troops would use the close-range three-row volley tactic to shoot a round of guns, then pull the explosives closer together, and then charge with a bayonet.

If you can't defeat your opponent in this way, you will send a special self-destructor. Generally speaking, no matter how much the Prussian Legion gets blood, it will not withstand this series of attacks...

If you face the Prussian soldiers who charge without brains (the Prussian army has an absolute advantage in force), just like now, the cannons approach and are on the same level as the infantry battle line, and put the enemy closer and then throw grenades and bayonets to charge.

If this combination of punches is done, the Prussian soldiers' charge formation is still not defeated, then it will be the moment when the self-destruction comes on the field.

The Prussian army has too great a numerical advantage. If there are long periods of bayonet fighting, the losses of the guard infantry will be unimaginable.

On the battlefield, it is not said that you can win by wanting life. After all, on the battlefield where corpses are everywhere, those who have the courage to charge will basically have an adrenaline surge, which is easy to get excited about the brain. Not wanting life is not an individual phenomenon.

Especially when there are many people, morale can often collapse longer.

Because frontline soldiers often use the easiest way to judge the situation on the battlefield, to see which side has more troops!

The Prussian regiment of Wuyang, Uyang, rushed up, and many people even shot while charging. The scattered gunfire brought down several guard infantry waiting in the array from time to time.

However, the entire battle line did not shake at all, and the front row fell down and followed immediately.

Until the opponent reaches a distance of thirty yards!

"fire!

Long live the Emperor!!!”

The fanatical guard infantry officer shouted instinctively while giving orders.

A volley of grape bullets and muskets swept towards the dense crowds that were rushing towards them. If you look down from the sky at this time, you will find that the Prussian military uniforms form the front row of the waves and fall down layer by layer!

The already unfast charge was a rush.

At this time, the officers on the line of guard infantry shouted loudly again: "Everyone, throw grenades!

Long live the Emperor!!!”

Grenades emitting blue smoke fell into the group of Prussian soldiers who were shot by grape bullets and muskets. The smoke caused by the explosions one after another quickly enveloped the entire battlefield!

Then, the surviving Prussian soldiers heard a series of French sounds across from the opposite side.

"Long live the Emperor!!!"

Every guard infantryman shouted this slogan wildly when he charged with a bayonet, his eyes flushed like a bloodthirsty beast.

At this moment, they no longer have self, they are just a group of tools to fight for Levi.

Before the self-destruction tactic was used, this wave of offensive was completely broken. The blood that had just been aroused was collapsed under the huge casualties and the charge of the Roman Guards. The fear of facing death rose to the hearts of every surviving Prussian soldier, including those surviving Junker noble officers.

The Roman Guards followed the defeated troops to expand their results as much as possible.

In fact, the nearly one to five casualties between the Roman Guards and the Prussian army was fought in pursuit of defeated soldiers. When the two sides fought head-on, the gap in casualties was not actually big.

The pursuit did not last long, because the Prussian reserve team, which had been prepared in the future, had already set up a tight platoon array and raised the muskets to meet it.

They did not block the defeated soldiers head-on, so they would only be filled with their own defeated soldiers. Under the command of the officers, the Prussian reserve team formed a giant funnel formation, and a huge gap was left in the center of the front for the defeated soldiers to enter.

The reserve phalanx on both sides advances while shooting, squeezing the Roman Guards who lost their formation cover.

Naturally, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Roman Guards had to give up their pursuit and instead exchanged fire with the Prussian reserve teams that were killed on both sides.

Retreat while exchanging fire.

The Prussian reserve team did not dare to chase after him, because there were still a large number of Roman Guard reserve teams behind him. Once they chased him, they would inevitably be counterattacked by the Roman Guards.

In fact, the Prussian reserve team was able to force the pursuit of the Roman Guards to retreat because the distance between the pursuit of the Roman Guards and the rear reserve team was too long.

Due to the limited military strength, Napoleon in the rear did not dare to launch a full-scale attack. Otherwise, it would be of little significance to defeat the Prussian Corps head-on. The Prussian Corps with the advantage of military strength would inevitably work hard on both wings.

At that time, the Roman Guards, which are attacking in full force, will lose their formation protection. If they chase too hard, they will fall into the siege of the Prussian new force. Even if they rely on the Roman Guards' fighting spirit of not fearing death, they will suffer heavy losses.

As for sending cavalry, it is even more unrealistic. The cavalry of the Prussian regiment is several times that of the guards in Napoleon!

The guards in Napoleon's hands were too exhausted to watch the cavalry on the opposite side attack, so how could he be put into the battlefield?

The military force problem that Napoleon faced was not a shortage of troops on the local battlefield, but a microcosm of the entire Eastern Front battlefield.

On every front, the anti-French Allied Forces have an absolute advantage in military strength. Many flat areas suitable for attacks have nearly ten times the Allied Forces confronted the Roman Guards!

Of course, the anti-French Allied forces were invested in so many troops on the front line, and they themselves felt very uncomfortable, and almost no mobile force was used to attack.

Even the troops that came to support Hannover were newly established in a mix of veterans and new recruits. The company with the shortest age of military service, and it only lasted less than half a year!

Seeing that his army was forced back again, Napoleon's face was always filled with a confident smile.

"After this charge, the Prussian army on the opposite side should not be available. After cleaning up the battlefield, tell the soldiers to have a good rest and the general attack will arrive soon."

…………

Nicholas retreated to the rear with his company dejectedly. When he set off, his company was full, and when he came back, there were less than fifty people left...

This is because Nicholas had combat experience with the former French Wehrmacht and knew how to save his life. Otherwise, Nicholas would not be able to return intact.

"This time, even the French self-destructive tactics were not forced out. I'm afraid Hannover can't really defend it."

The soldiers passing by Nicholas were all dejected and had already lost hope for victory. Even the reserve team that had just forced the Roman Guards to retreat often looked numb when they retreated, and there was no joy to repel the enemy.

This is normal. Rather than saying that they defeated the enemy, the Roman Guards took the initiative to retreat.

Even though they clearly had the advantage of the number of people, the officers did not dare to order the pursuit, and watched the enemy, who was far fewer than theirs, leave calmly.

Everyone has seen the crazy fighting posture of the enemy army, so where would you have any expectations for victory?

The only one who supports them is probably the only one who has the advantage in military strength.

However, the advantage of military strength does not mean that they can survive!

Although soldiers and grassroots officers did not know the terrible casualty exchange ratio of one to five, they knew that they had died far more people than the enemy!

Just find a high point, look at the corpses at the front positions of the battlefield in the distance, and count the number of military uniforms on both sides, and you can easily compare them...

Nicholas, who had just counted his troops' damages, was about to find the principal of his battalion, but he waited for a colonel!

After the other party confirmed the formation where Nicholas was located, he promoted Nicholas to the temporary battalion commander on the spot and placed the remaining soldiers of other companies under Nicholas' command.

The reason is that Nicholas is now the only captain in this camp!

Of course, this promotion is only temporary, and Nicholas's military rank has not changed. After the battle is over, his temporary battalion commander may disappear because of merger with other battalions.

However, this is also a kind of qualification. You will get priority promotion opportunities when you are promoted in the future. After all, you have had the experience of being a battalion commander, right?

However, this incident did not make Nicholas happy, and he went further to celebrate himself by breaking the major's threshold, but instead frowned.
To be continued...
