“Damn it!

Where is our artillery?

Why are we always being beaten? I remember that our number of artillery is more than a dozen more than the Li Wei rebels!”

A front-line captain roared wildly at the communications soldier.

It was not that he was furious, but that there were rumbling cannons everywhere on the battlefield. If he didn't scream at the top of his voice, he might not be able to hear clearly, even if the distance between the two sides was not far.

The communication soldiers on the battlefield are the most well-informed soldiers, and they often know more than the lieutenant-level officers who are guarding one place on the front line.

The correspondence name, who was held by Captain Wright, had a bitter face. If anyone was suddenly grabbed by the collar under the fire, he would not be in a good mood.

However, before the correspondent soldier got angry, he saw the other party's epaulette rank, so it turned into a 'bitter-faced face'...

The captain is not a small official. In fact, as long as he reaches the lieutenant-level officer, he can be considered a number one person in the army. Even the second lieutenant often has a "follower" under his command.

Because the second lieutenant is the threshold for officers and soldiers, and the captain goes up, the middle-level officer, the major, has another huge leap.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for a captain to be promoted to a major, which has caused many "senior" captains to wasted several years in this rank, for more than ten or even for a lifetime...

The senior captain who had been in the army for a long time knew how many backers there were.

After all, captains who don’t have a background and can’t get in touch with each other usually don’t stay for too long.

This makes the unfamiliar captains in the French army a group of people that cannot be easily provoked. Even the chief of the rank of major will not shout at him without knowing the background of a captain and being familiar with him.

Therefore, when the correspondent soldier saw the other party's rank of captain, he was immediately as cowardly as a rabbit.

You should know that communication soldiers are different from ordinary line infantry. This type of army is safe and easy to contact various superiors, and its status in the army is not comparable to that of ordinary privates.

Even so, after seeing Captain Wright, the correspondent became very attentive and explained with great sincerity: "Sir, our artillery position is in the rear and cannot bombard the artillery position of the Levi rebels.

Now the Levi rebels did not attack, so our artillery has no targets within range to shoot."

Captain Wright was slightly stunned after hearing this. He wanted to ask, which idiot artillery position was he who was inadequate to defend?

But then I thought about it, no matter which idiot's order is given, he can kill himself, a little captain with one finger. I should keep some verbal virtues...

At this moment, Captain Wright suddenly felt the sound of cannons stagnated. Then, he heard his adjutant running towards him from a distance and shouting, "Li Wei's rebels are attacking!"

Captain Wright no longer cared about the communication soldier in front of him and hurriedly followed his adjutant to the front line to build fortifications, while the communication soldier fled without looking back.

After Captain Wright arrived at the Chest Fortification, the soldiers and officers passing by along the way were all in a straight body, saluting or saying hello to him.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Speaker Senavi moved closer to the regular army, and the severe relationship between superiors and subordinates in the regular army was sorted out very smoothly.

It is not impossible for superiors to almost any punishment to subordinates, and it is not impossible to even take action first and then report, as long as sufficient reasons and evidence can be given afterwards.

This is why the morale of the Normandy Provincial Coalition Army in the first line of defense was not high, but still stuck in their respective posts and could not see any deserters.

Captain Wright inspected the chest fortifications and found that it had been filled with soldiers under his command. He left the chest fortifications with satisfaction and hid in the safe rear fortifications.

This was also considered the privilege of Captain Wright, and his confidant adjutant and several guards naturally followed him into the safe rear fortifications.

The so-called rear fortification is a small chest base built on a small high point. The view here is very good, but there is only a chest wall in front as a cover and it has no defensive value at all.

Once the chest fortification in front is broken, this position has no defensive value. The only purpose is to facilitate the officers who stay here to escape when they see that the situation is wrong...

This is not the first time Captain Wright has done this. When he was on the border defense line, he ran away with his troops as soon as he saw the Black Dragon Battle Flag!

Since most of the troops brought to Caen City were preserved, and they were not even held accountable for fleeing without fighting. In front of his captain, a group of passionate new recruits were added...

In Captain Wright's vision, the defense area he was responsible for was unfortunately included in the main attack area of ​​the line infantry (guard infantry) of the Levi rebels.

Thousands of guard infantry spread out evenly, without any strategic depth, as if they were not worried about being surrounded by cavalry.

This is how confident you need!

However, Captain Wright felt that this scene was justified. The reputation of Levi's rebels had already been established in the Battle of Rennes, the Border Battle of Normandy, and the Border Battle of Loire. From a military perspective, its combat power was not weaker than that of the regular French army.

Of course, only a few people know the view from a military perspective, such as Captain Wright, who had personally "defeated" once.

Politically, the Paris government has been spared no effort to promote the injustice of Levi's rebels and the combat effectiveness of the bandits...

For those who have not personally seen the guard infantry under Li Wei, the propaganda of the Paris government is reasonable. Li Wei was originally the legitimate son of a middle-class noble family. How strong can the army established in a hurry be?

As for Li Wei's various victories, they were deliberately weakened by the Paris government in propaganda.

For example, the Li Wei rebels' forces that exaggerated the battle, and the Li Wei rebels with thousands of people increased tens of thousands of people, which is not an exaggeration!

The number of riot farmers in many regions has increased by tens of thousands!

However, after these riot farmers robbed the noble castle, they broke up on their own.

After strengthening the forces of Li Wei's rebels in the propaganda, the forces of the government forces were weakened.

In fact, there is no need to weaken it. As long as the actual strength of the government army is removed and the defeat of the rebels of Li Wei, who has been defeated by ten times, is not embarrassing.

Illiterate knows that two fists cannot beat four hands!

However, the calculation method of removing "segments" in the propaganda of the Paris government is not very mathematical. The Paris government directly removed the later reorganized National Self-Defense Forces, township militias, and city police as fractions...

These people are not the troops responsible for combat, and they will not notice it even if they remove the people below.
