Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 52: Finish

The fierce night battle that broke out in the Nawa Mountains was still going on, and on the other side, the rumbling of gunfire also reached the ears of the rebel commanders on other fronts, the 1st Hussar Division stationed in the village of Roka, a kilometer away The commander of the Second Brigade reported the matter as soon as possible, but then he ordered to gather his subordinates and take the initiative to move closer to Mount Nava.

The importance of the Nava Mountain artillery positions is self-evident. The geographical superiority and range of the artillery positions located on the mountainside aside, the six infantry guns alone are enough to make this cavalry brigade without orders. Before attacking without authorization, rushing to help the friendly army that was attacked at night.

Although with the development of firearms, the status of cavalry on the battlefield has gradually been marginalized, but in this era, the cavalry in the formed system can still exert a strong combat effectiveness.

Think about it, if hundreds of thousands of cavalry roared and rushed over, and the ground trembled violently under the trampling of horses' hooves, even veteran soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles would feel frightened when they saw this scene, and they were about to flee. Hidden in the phalanx and trembling - if the defense line collapses, they will become the dead under the knife under the cavalry's saber, like chopping melons and vegetables.

On this cloudy night, the large cavalry rushed into the battlefield when the two armies were fighting fiercely. The enemy infantry in the battle had no time to react and formed a hollow phalanx of anti-cavalry. They could only watch as the hussars were like death knights. Whistling tore through their threads, and brought death upon their heads.

Thinking of this kind of scene, the commander of the cavalry brigade, Arsette Payne, was full of enthusiasm. He was originally a middle-level officer who was retired from the cavalry division of the Kingdom Army. After the outbreak of the Great Revolution, he joined in order to revive the gradually declining family The uprising army, so as to avoid the uprising army looting his family property, later the military government was established, and he was also appointed as the colonel brigade commander in the cavalry division formed by the military government by virtue of his experience as a cavalry officer.

When he heard the sound of guns coming from Mount Nava, he immediately knew that he was in luck. As long as he could defeat the enemy's attack plan, he would have a bright future!

His illusions were soon shattered, however, and on their way to Mount Nava, they were blocked by the infantry regiment sent here by Charlie, the 3rd Infantry Regiment under the command of its commander, Cayo Dillon A line of defense was set up on the main road, and the eight 12-pounder infantry guns were placed in the center with their muzzles pointed far ahead.

The movement of more than 900 cavalrymen of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade running at the same time was like thunder on the ground, and it gradually came from a distance, so it was immediately noticed by the 3rd Infantry Regiment stationed here - what is even worse, they were marching In order to be able to see the road ahead clearly, almost everyone held a torch, more than 900 torches were combined together, and it looked like a fire dragon from a distance.

So, as the cavalry approached, the regiment artillery of the third regiment, under Dillon's order, launched the first round of tentative artillery fire on the moving enemy cavalry. The cavalry brigade was in confusion, but they quickly reacted and listed combat postures.

Seeing that the enemy found him, Captain Dillon immediately ordered the torches to be lit, exposing the entire infantry regiment to the enemy's field of vision.

Payne, who was parked in the distance, looked sternly at the enemy infantry that was waiting. From the number of burning torches, he could roughly infer the strength of the enemy deployed here. After drawing a conclusion, his expression became very ugly.

He knew that he might be running for nothing tonight.

Although he can take his subordinates to bypass the infantry regiment in front of him and rush to Nawa Mountain, but he can set up a heavy guard here, how can the number of enemy troops in Nawa Mountain be small? Moreover, it was difficult for him to guarantee that the enemy army would have the same number of cavalry.

and……

He looked at the dark silhouette of Mount Nawa in the darkness in the distance again. On the other side of the mountain, he could still see the light of fire from time to time, but the sound of gunfire had gradually faded away. Payne thought for a while, and he made a decision after thinking for a moment. For the sake of prudence, he did not order an attack, but led the team to withdraw a certain distance back, observing the battle situation in Nawa Mountain from a distance, and at the same time put the Report the encounter to the rear.

Dillon made the same choice at almost the same time. He saw the enemy cavalry retreat actively. In order not to waste ammunition (they didn't know that the artillery had unlimited ammunition), he also ordered to stop shooting and sent messengers. Report what happened here to Charlie.

On the other side, the battle on Nawa Mountain is coming to an end. Under the fierce attack of the Seventh Brigade, the Second Brigade of the rebels stationed in Nawa Mountain is retreating, losing the camp at the foot of the mountain and the artillery positions on the mountainside one after another. Do not abandon the artillery that has not had time to destroy and retreat to the top of the mountain.

The first battalion of the two infantry regiments responsible for the main attack had long since withdrawn before capturing the artillery positions~www.readwn.com~ The soldiers of these two battalions suffered the most casualties and were already exhausted. Chang also replaced them in time, and let the combat battalion composed of pure recruits rise up.

Although the combat effectiveness of the new recruits is not as good as that of the system soldiers, their performance is still quite satisfactory when the enemy army is losing ground.

The rebels who retreated to the top of the mountain resisted for nearly half an hour and finally announced their surrender. They held high the white flag and walked out of the makeshift bunker with bare hands. They walked to the center of the battlefield in dismay under the surveillance of the soldiers and squatted down for inspection.

After occupying the top of the mountain, Charlie, who received the good news, was relieved. After receiving the report from the Third Regiment, he had been worried that the enemy reinforcements would arrive before taking Nawa Mountain, but now it seems that the enemy's actions did not follow him. As fast as imagined, the fastest cavalry brigade did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack.

Afterwards, Charlie sent someone to send the good news to Nawa City Hall, and he took the general guards to Nawa Mountain. He did not personally command the battle at the front line, but stayed in the safe rear to plan strategies. If he was accidentally shot by a stray bullet from somewhere, there would be no place to cry.

When he arrived at Mount Nava, the sky was already bright, and the soldiers were carrying corpses and collecting guns and ammunition. Those captured rebel soldiers were being escorted to the camp at the foot of the mountain. A regiment commander, Greni Baldwin I was talking with several officers standing next to a collapsed camp.

Seeing Charlie and his general guard coming, Baldwin ended the conversation with the officer and took the initiative to meet Charlie. Charlie noticed that the right arm of his uniform was stained with blood, and he didn't know whether it was the enemy's blood or his own.
