Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 125: catastrophe

In October of 1752, the battlefield situation on the Coron Hills changed.

The recruits who had been trained in the Rumont Republic and were equipped with cheap muskets and artillery returned to the country one after another. In addition to those recruits, Charles also sent the 2nd and 1st Cavalry Divisions of the Fourth Army. Accompany the battle and go to the Coron Hills for support.

With the help of this support army, the strength comparison on the battlefield was instantly biased towards the Kemelin army, and the pressure on the Okalos coalition was doubled. Although their reinforcements also came one after another, most of their reinforcements came over by force. The fighting strength and the low will of the strong man can almost be described as a one-touch collapse.

These reinforcements with low fighting will not only failed to help the coalition, but became the most lagging existence. After the strength of the republican rebels increased sharply and took the initiative to attack the coalition, these reinforcements that were on the verge of collapse triggered a catastrophic disaster that swept the entire front. The rout, the saber- and lance-wielding 1st Cavalry Division roared into the rout, slashing the disillusioned soldiers under their horses, forcing them to kneel in mass surrender.

The purpose of the 1st Cavalry Division is not these defeated soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit. Their goal is very clear - the coalition artillery positions deployed on the top of the hill!

Although the artillerymen began to pull the artillery after the large-scale defeat of the infantry and wanted to escape with the artillery, the enemy cavalry attacked faster than they thought. When they pulled the artillery and turned to leave, the cavalry Has rushed to the bottom of the hill.

Seeing the enemy cavalry rushing over, the artillerymen couldn't care about the heavy artillery, they quickly ran to the rear, and the Lumen cavalry did not pay attention to the artillerymen who fled in a hurry. They skillfully took out the Qizi prepared in advance. , slammed into the muzzle, directly blocking the muzzle, not letting go of the lead wire connected to the inside of the gun barrel, took out the hammer and hit the nail in it.

As long as the muzzle and the lead port are blocked, no matter how the enemy can pull it out, the gun will be useless and can only be pulled back and rebuilt.

In the case that there is no way to capture and take away the artillery, in order to prevent the enemy from taking back the artillery and continuing to threaten them, they can only use this method without retreat.

After destroying the cannons deployed on the hilltops, the cavalry looked at the coalition reserves that were rushing here, and quickly rode their horses to retreat, leaving a mess.

Most of the artillery pieces were destroyed, and the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces was undoubtedly greatly weakened. At least they would not be able to counter the enemy's artillery fire, and could only endure the unscrupulous bombardment of the enemy's artillery fire. The high-level coalition forces immediately thought of retreating—— Whether it is the commander of the Okalos army or the commander of the Hildi people, it is no longer necessary to continue this battle.

The Republican rebels on the opposite side have a steady stream of full support from the Rumont Republic. The latter may even send troops directly to participate in the battle. How will they fight?

No matter in terms of the quality of their troops or their equipment, they can't compare with the enemy. After the reparations, the Okalos Kingdom ran into a deficit, and there was no spare money to make new artillery and develop new weapons, while Hildi. Although the kingdom wanted to help this hard-working ally, there were threats of force from the enemy on the north and south borders, so they dared not mobilize the army, giving the enemy an opportunity.

The commander of Hildi's army, Philip DeHaan, does not want to continue to be involved in the battle here. Since his army came here to fight the enemy, the casualties he has suffered are increasing day by day. Among them, the officer's casualty ratio is the most outrageous. , those hunters who don't talk about martial arts dare to ignore the unspoken rules and shoot at officers in a frenzy!

This has led to a large number of downsizing of grass-roots officers and had to be promoted from the veterans. However, soon after being promoted, the new officers would be shot to death by hunters. This position is like the talisman of death. will die.

Once the number of times is too high, no one wants to become an officer.

After he offered to withdraw the army, the Duke of Leroy Moore, the commander of the army of Ocalus, considered his proposal very seriously and convened an emergency military meeting. At the meeting, the officers of both armies were Unwilling to continue to stalemate with the Republican rebels here, everyone with discernment knows that the current battle situation has no chance of winning for them.

As a result, the coalition finally decided to withdraw and took the initiative to end the stalemate in this area.

In just two months, the two sides have invested more than 150,000 soldiers in the Kelun Hills and surrounding areas. Tens of thousands of people died here, leaving their young lives here forever.

After the coalition retreated, Kemelin's army remained in place for only a few days before continuing to advance north. At the same time, the Kemelin government also announced this good news, which boosted the morale of the military and civilians in the territory. There were still many people who were pessimistic about whether they could resist the offensive of the royal army. Now the victory has slapped them hard, and also Let them regain their confidence.

...

In Ankerton City, Charlie couldn't help but look happy when he saw the battle report sent by Weisberg.

"It turns out that my decision to send the Fourth Army to intervene in the Ocalos Civil War was correct." He said quite contentedly, "The performance of the Fourth Army did not disappoint me. The rifled guns using the mini bullet were in the same range as the smoothbore. Guns always have the upper hand in the fight."

"It's true~www.readwn.com~ But the cost and production speed of rifled guns are not comparable to muskets. If we want to promote rifled guns to the whole army, we have to invest more money." His father, Deputy Secretary of the Army Department Victor said helplessly.

Indeed, although there are systematically built small arms manufacturing plants for the production of rifled guns, neither the cost nor the production speed can be compared with muskets under the blessing of the system, usually in the same factory. The time to manufacture five muskets Only one rifled gun can be made.

"Charlie, I still want to know what you think, whether you sell weapons to the Okalos rebels at a low price, or send troops directly to help, do you really want Okalos to become a republic?" Vice President Gu Nila asked suspiciously.

This is the Cross Manor, and there are only three of them in the house, so Gunilla can ask without hesitation, and in fact, Charlie has never revealed his true thoughts to anyone other than Sandy, It's no surprise that Gunilla would ask.

Charlie smiled slightly and did not answer directly: "Uncle Gunila, as long as it is beneficial to us, I will choose to do it."
