18th century total war

Chapter 111 Efficient Army

"Hehe, Senawi is a 'reasonable' person, first take down the first and second lines of defense and other areas, and then even if there is a change in the defenders of Caen City, my troops can barely encircle them."

After receiving the news from Sennawe, Major General Karl, the commander of the Black Dragon Legion's first division, said to himself.

As for the liberal noble generals who were about to flee Caen and the tribesmen they took away, Karl didn't care at all.

After these days of fighting, Karl had already concluded that the combat power of the provincial coalition forces in the Normandy region was really not that good.

Karl is not measured by the standards of the Black Dragon Legion, because there is no comparison. In Karl's mind, the top legions of all the powerful countries in the world are tied together, and they are not worthy to carry shoes for their own Black Dragon Legion!
In addition to being unafraid of death, the brainwashed Black Dragon Legion also possess a kind of mysterious self-confidence, the kind of 'confidence' that can lead to admission to a mental hospital.

It can also be said to be arrogant!
Everyone in the Black Dragon Legion, when facing outsiders, the word 'arrogance' is almost written on their faces.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Wei feels that the officers and soldiers who have been brainwashed by the training camp can't get along anywhere except their own Black Dragon Army...

Morbid self-confidence, extreme arrogance, and a clockwork-like life and work attitude...

There is also a tendency to violence in general!

How can such people fit in the society?

Even Li Wei himself has to admit that the human beings who have been brainwashed by the training camp are like a new personality born in the original body, but they still have the original memory and cognition.

The liberal aristocratic generals who were ready to escape, whom Karl looked down upon, managed to save their lives. Of course, if they could be wiped out without losing their troops, Karl would naturally not let them go.

But Karl knew very well that if those liberal noble generals were really pushed into a hurry, they could still lead their troops to cause certain losses to Karl's Black Dragon Legion before they died.

After all, the battle in the era of queuing and shooting is limited by the performance of muskets, and you must shoot at close range. No matter how powerful your individual combat power is, you can't handle bullets that don't have long eyes.

What's more, the medical conditions in this era are almost zero, and even "bloodletting therapy" is still popular in many parts of Europe. Modern medicine is still in a state of enlightenment. If a lead bullet is shot into the body on the battlefield, it will only cause wound infection and lead poisoning. It is enough to kill a soldier!

Even if it's just a hit to a limb, it still needs to be amputated!

Of course, those officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion who are willing to die for Li Wei often do not choose to amputate their limbs. Waste of Lord Li Wei's food...

By committing suicide to save food for his allegiance, this is the true thought of the wounded Black Dragon Legion soldier, or the thinking mode of the distorted personality instinct!
This is why after each battle of the Black Dragon Legion, the casualties are only minor injuries and death that do not affect the combat power.

Because the seriously wounded either fight the enemy to the last breath, or make a decision for themselves.

This eliminates the need to set up a special wounded soldier camp behind the Black Dragon Legion's military camp. The reason why those ordinary lightly wounded soldiers are willing to survive is because they still have fighting ability and know that they can continue to shine for Lord Li Wei...

The outskirts of Caen City's defense line is arranged in three lines, forming an irregular circle. Naturally, the more it goes out, the larger the area it occupies.

The third line of defense has actually been integrated with the suburbs of Caen. Once the third line of defense is breached, the Black Dragon Legion can directly attack the urban area of ​​Caen.

Of course, a large number of barricade defense lines have been deployed at various entrances and exits in the urban area of ​​Caen, and it is not so easy to break through.

It's just that fortifications are fortifications, and no matter how good they are, they still need combat-effective soldiers to defend them in order to be effective.

Obviously, the defenders of Caen City are ready to give up.

Although Senawi and other high-level officials did not announce the news of the surrender, the liberal noble generals summoned the old troops directly under them, and drove out of the city with their own private wealth. How could other soldiers not see what was going on?

In the army, I don't know when it started, and there was news that Senawi and other high-level officials were preparing to surrender.

After all, such a large-scale military flight... oh no, it is a strategic shift. As long as the people below are not blind and brain-dead, they will more or less guess it.

In this environment, the evacuation of the first and second lines of defense did not cause any splash.

At the same time, the First Division of the Black Dragon Legion was also receiving the new defense area in an orderly manner, and began to arrange for a large number of prisoners to be transported to the rear, as well as other miscellaneous tasks.

In the camp of the Black Dragon Legion, Captain Wright was suddenly called out by a private soldier of the Black Dragon Legion, saying that an officer wanted to see him.

After leaving the wooden fence where the prisoners of war were temporarily held, Captain Wright quickly saw some Black Dragon Legion soldiers who were eating in the camp.

Captain Wright looked at these Black Dragon Legion soldiers, even when they were eating, they were arranged in an orderly manner in a circle with a considerable number of people, and the speed of swallowing was scary!

And Captain Wright discovered that these Black Dragon Legion soldiers who were dining really only knew how to eat and drink, and had no desire to take a look at other affairs in the outside world.

At this moment, an officer came to the center of these Black Dragon Legion soldiers and shouted loudly: "Everyone, stand up!"

In an instant, even the Black Dragon Legion soldiers who had not finished eating immediately stood up, straightened their backs, and put down all the 'miscellaneous items' in their hands.

The officer took out a pocket watch that was obviously a trophy, looked at the time, and ordered loudly: "Everyone will finish their private affairs in 10 minutes and start to assemble."

After speaking, the officer yelled 'rest' again and left.

The soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion who were already racing against time, whether they were non-commissioned officers or ordinary privates, quickly finished their last meal. Captain Wright even saw two soldiers running to a pile of grass outside the camp, squatting down and crackling. In about 1 minute, I completed my excretion problem!
Captain Wright looked at a group of Black Dragon Legion soldiers who were expressionless but efficiently and steadily sorting out their belongings, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Should I feel honored to be defeated by this kind of army?"
