097 A steady stream of reserves
The soldiers who had just supported the soldiers, before they could leave the first line of defense, they were dizzy by the large amount of thunder thrown by the guard infantry. Not to mention resisting, many of them were still breathing and lying on the ground, holding their heads and praying...
Captain Wright left in time because he had just left with his remnants of defense, and the first line of defense was being attacked in the area where the provincial coalition forces that he took over were bombarded and lost their resistance.
Without the obstacles of bayonets and bullets, the work of the guard infantry to clear roadblocks became smoother, and a large number of small wooden ladders prepared in advance were set up on the chest wall.
In this way, the guard infantry finally did not have to climb up the ladder without two or three people!
The wild fortifications of this era were so simple. In the past, the wild camps and fortifications and walls had to be built at least several meters high.
However, as the power of the artillery becomes greater and greater, the lethality of the mortar with the help of mathematical geometry knowledge becomes increasingly terrifying, and the tall field fortifications become worthless.
Once the wall is high, it will become a ready-made target for those field artillery and will be destroyed by you in no time!
This is why chest walls and sandbags are popular.
It is difficult for a low-high chest wall to be bombarded by artillery, at least it is difficult for artillery of this era to be able to achieve it.
However, it is not difficult for infantry to attack such a low wall.
The attacking line infantry can easily climb up whether using ropes or simple wooden ladders.
The guard infantry and sharpshooters used their precise marksmanship and fierce thunder to directly abolish the provincial coalition infantry behind the chest wall.
It was not until the first batch of guard infantry crossed the low-high but troublesome chest wall that the provincial coalition infantry behind who had just come back to their senses from the thunder roared, remembered to resist.
Many provincial coalition infantry reached out to grab it and found that their muskets were thrown to nowhere before...
It is obvious that the guard infantry will not give these provincial coalition infantry a lot of time to respond, even if their number is much higher than that of them after being baptized by thunder!
The guard infantry who jumped down the chest wall immediately raised the gun bar and pulled the trigger at the enemy infantry who was still standing. The distance between the two sides was only a few steps away. There were even the provincial coalition infantry who had not died for luck lying next to the foot of the guard infantry who jumped down the chest wall!
Of course, the provincial coalition infantry at this position is the most unlucky, and the guard infantry is not blind. If you pretend to be dead and do not move, you may not be able to see it for a while. However, the provincial coalition infantry lying on the ground saw that the enemy jumped to their side. How good is the actor self-cultivation to be able to "stay as a mountain"?
As a result, the provincial coalition infantry who had been lying on their way to avoid thunder were stabbed by the sensitive guard infantry with a bayonet just by moving.
There were even some unlucky guys who were just stepped on by the guard infantry jumped off, shouting so heartbreakingly...
At this time, there was no need for volleyball guns to fight. After jumping into the chest wall fortification, the guard infantry shot out the bullets in the gun chamber, and no longer loaded them on the spot. They launched a bayonet assault directly at the enemy a few steps away.
Bayonet battle is the best way of combat for the guard infantry!
The provincial coalition infantry, who was already full of courage, could not withstand such a fast-paced attack even if they had the advantage of large numbers.
Captain Wright, who was walking back quickly with his remaining soldiers, suddenly saw a large number of "friendly soldiers" emerging from the front, jogging in front of him with muskets and strode towards Captain Wright.
Captain Wright subconsciously turned his head to look at the screams and fighting sounds that kept coming from behind.
This time, Captain Wright suddenly felt a chill from the soles of his feet and rushed straight to his forehead!
The battalion that had switched defense with him before was completely defeated in less than ten minutes. In the distance, the soldiers kneeling on the ground, raised their hands to beg for mercy, or even the defeated soldiers who were throwing away muskets and running towards their direction!
Captain Wright had a good look (probably because he didn't have a mobile phone to access the Internet), and at first glance, he saw the major he had handed over to him before, and was now lying on the feet of a Levi rebel soldier covered in blood.
The blood under him was still spreading slowly, and it was obvious that he had just died not long ago...
Not only Captain Wright was responsible for this small defense zone, but also the other defense areas around which were selected by the Levi rebels to attack, basically none of the guard infantry could block the attacks from the chest wall fortifications.
It's just that the time of the collapse is slightly different.
However, Senavi, as an expert in military talk on paper, has not been a vain for preparations over the past two years. There are support channels of all sizes behind the first line of defense, and they are all flat official roads, which are most suitable for soldiers to run and advance.
There were also many garrison sites between the first and second lines of defense, namely small military camps, especially in flat areas that were easily attacked, which were enough to accommodate tens of thousands of troops!
Now that Li Wei's main attack direction has been determined, mobile reserves from other regions have been continuously drawn, and those stationed troops are like military camps in the Imperial Age game, one team follows another to "spout" the troops outside!
The stock that Captain Wright saw was only a small part of it, and it was also a reorganized battalion!
The guard infantry who stepped into the chest fortification was like entering the enemy's base camp, with large groups of enemy reinforcements rushing towards him everywhere!
After these reinforcements intersected with the defeated soldiers, the entire team immediately became a rampant platoon formation, and the guard infantry who were constantly climbing over the chest and fortifications, had not had time to shoot in a round of platoons!
Although the guard infantry have been shooting and counterattacking freely, the number of guns is too small. Even with the help of wooden ladders, the guard infantry outside cannot come in together in an instant!
The provincial coalition infantry attacking the guard infantry were all new forces. They had been raising their energy behind them before. They were neither bombarded by Li Wei's rebels nor were they accurately rafted by the guard infantry.
With the support of the inspiring slogan "freedom, equality, fraternity, otherwise death", morale is still worth fighting.
The shortcomings of these provincial coalition forces are mainly due to individual combat qualities. If you shoot platoons, you may not be able to see the difference between you and the guard infantry. Once you fight with bayonets, you will be beaten to your grandson in minutes...
In a moment, hundreds of muskets were firing at the guard infantry who had just jumped into the chest defense line!
