Chapter 1626: Battle of Lake Aosta (Ⅱ)

Joan alternately switches the viewing angle between the two "Eagle Eye Observation Points", and at the same time projects the battlefield scene he sees onto the mirror surface, showing it to Lord Castis and Heimdall.
"The main force of the enemy is attacking the Laval Corps, and the giant giant mercenary from Caledon Island is moving in the opposite direction. It seems that it is coming from our side."
Joan synthesized information from the two battlefields and came to a less optimistic conclusion.
"Grandpa, the commander of Feizhen is very cautious, and we are not in the trap we set."
Lord Castis smiled and shook his head.
"General Convalier was indeed a very cautious person. In fact, I hadn't expected him to be fooled. Now the result is not bad. At least we helped Laval to lead the Caledonian mercenary group, which greatly reduced The pressure on the main force."
Joan stared at the mirror, his eyes showing his worries.
Feizhen's formation is very characteristic.
In the center are three parallel matrices composed of infantry. Each matrix has about a thousand people, all of which are 16 rows by 60 columns. The first 10 rows of the infantry matrix are riflemen, and the last 6 rows are spearmen. .
It is not difficult to imagine that when the infantry matrix is ​​approaching within 300 yards of the Midgard Colonial Regiment and enters the effective kill range of the magic crystal smoothbore gun, the front-row infantry will reload in order.
At this distance, Fijians have an overwhelming firepower advantage. The Midgard side did not have enough rifles to counterattack, and the effective range of the military bow did not reach 300 yards at all, and barely shooting could not guarantee the hit rate.
If the Midgard Colonial Corps wants to get rid of the situation of being passively beaten, it can only take the initiative to attack, brave the guns, rain and horseback.
However, it is not a good idea to attack the enemy front head-on!
Joan guessed by observing the arrangement of the Feizhen infantry matrix. As long as his cavalry was approaching a certain distance from the Feizhen, the riflemen who were originally in the front row would retreat neatly and orderly, and the rear row spearman would Move forward to form a defensive formation.
If the cavalry troops on the opposite side continue to charge, they will have to bump into the spears like Lin, and it will become difficult.
A cavalry who loses its speed and impact is like a live target on the battlefield. It is withdrawn from the Fijian rifle behind the spearman. He can easily reload the gun and snipe the enemy troops intercepted by the dense spears. Cavalry-This is no harder than hunting deer in the wilderness.
Joan believes that Baron Laval is not reckless enough to lead the cavalry to face the Majestic Infantry Matrix, so what about the roundabout side?
Fiji's infantry matrix has both offensive and defensive matrix and fierce firepower. The only weakness seems to be poor mobility. Once the flanks are attacked, it is difficult to change the formation in time to respond.
However, General Kang Huali has obviously realized this, and specially arranged the two cavalry battalions on the left and right sides of the infantry matrix, just to prevent opponents from raiding the flanks.
There is also a cavalry battalion, located behind the Feizhen troops, surrounded by a handsome flag flying in the wind. It is both Thomas Conwall’s guard and a reserve team to prevent accidents on the battlefield.
Joan also noticed a detail.
As Lord Castis said before, General Convalley really brought a military band, and he played a serious trumpet on the battlefield with tense atmosphere.
The scene seemed a little funny at first glance, but Joan soon realized that the real human band of Fei was not used to fill the scene. In fact, the reason why the three infantry matrices could take a uniform pace on the wasteland Orderly advancement is inseparable from the guidance of these drummers.
Thousands of officers and soldiers are striding forward at the rhythm of drums, as if they have merged into a whole. The sound of the foot echoes the beat of the military music on the earth, like a torrent of rushing forward, sweeping all obstacles.
Qiao An observed high altitude through magic, but was shocked by the magnificent momentum emitted by the Feizhen Corps. It is conceivable that his own officers and soldiers faced this orderly and constantly approaching enemy army. fear.
If there was a real breath of killing through the mirror surface, Joan felt shudder, and hurriedly took back his eyes, and asked Lord Castis anxiously: "But Lord Lord, if Uncle Logan does not lead the department to support Baron Laval as soon as possible, Can the Midgard Colonial Corps, which has fewer than three thousand people, resist the fierce Fijian army?"
Lord Castis shook his head gently without making a sound, and his twig-like fingers pointed to the "spectacles", instructing Joe to watch the changes quietly.
Joan once again switched the viewing angle to the battlefield, overlooking the wilderness where the two armies lined up. At this time, the Feizhen Infantry Regiment had been accompanied by the military band and approached within 300 yards of the Midgard Regiment.
The drummer struggled to strike the snare drum, and the sound of the boom echoed over the battlefield.
Feizhen's officers and men stepped on the drum beat and stood still.
The three infantry matrices stopped advancing at the same time, the first three rows of infantry knelt on one knee, and raised their guns at the waist. Aim at the front; the follow-up four-row infantry maintains a semi-squat posture, the barrel pointing forward is slightly higher than the comrades in the kneeling position in the front row; the last three-row rifle soldiers maintain a standing posture, and also aim at the enemy ahead with the gun.
This improved version of "three-stage" shooting has strict requirements on the shooting posture and figure of officers and soldiers.
Joan has just noticed that the Fijian riflemen in the first three rows of the matrix are generally short, the height of the subsequent four-row riflemen is moderate, and the size of the final three-row riflemen is not less than six feet, which is obviously selected. tall.
Lined up in order from short to high, and combined with three shooting attitudes from low to high, the front, middle and back groups of officers and soldiers can be arranged in a stepwise distribution in the vertical direction to fully open the space to avoid blocking each other's vision. Maximum output of firepower.
General Convalley withdrew the gem-set saber and waved forward. The military musician then blew his horn and relayed the attack command to the ears of every rifleman who was ready to shoot.
Two thousand riflemen pulled their triggers at almost the same time. The smooth-bore muzzles spewed out shining arcs one after another, and the dense bullets that roared out of the breeze converged into a steel storm, sweeping toward the enemy front 300 yards away.
On the Midgard side, the front row of cavalrymen dropped their horses, blood splashed like rain, and the frightened horse raised his hoof.
Baron Laval stood at the forefront of the queue, and the oncoming bullets were bounced away by the magic shield shrouded in him, and his face was somber like cast iron.
After a round of salvos, there were no fewer than 100 casualties on the Midgard side.
Compared with the number of casualties, the mess on the battlefield, and the passive situation that can only be beaten but unable to fight back, the morale of officers and soldiers is more damaged.
