18th century total war

Chapter 156 Quality Rolling
bang bang bang...

After three rounds of shooting, the soldiers of the garrison on the front line immediately launched a bayonet charge under the orders of the bugle and the officer.

At this time, the guerrilla armed forces on the opposite side, which were still decent at first, had already lost their formation after three rounds of volleys. Some even started to escape despite the orders of their commanders.

As a result, these soldiers from the garrison were directly defeated by a bayonet charge...

Lesarite at the back looked at the one-sided battle situation with a cold face, and forced a blunt smile from the corner of his mouth, no matter how fake he looked...

When outsiders see this blunt smirk, they will definitely think that Lesarite is perfunctory, but Colonel Niza, who has been in contact with Lesarite for a while, knows that it is from the heart of Lesarite' smile'.

Niza initially suspected that there was a disease on Lesarit's face, which was why he was unable to smile normally. However, after contacting the guards around Lesarit who were also from the Black Dragon Legion, Niza felt that this was not a disease, but the black dragon. 'Military training sequelae' of legion officers and soldiers.

Of course, as a colonel of the garrison, even if he was the highest rank in the garrison, Niza still regarded himself as a junior officer in front of Lesarit, the lieutenant colonel of the Black Dragon Legion.

It's not that Niza is timid and cautious, but that in today's New France Kingdom, in both the military and political circles, any official is in awe of the officers and even soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion!

Because Li Wei granted some extrajudicial privileges to his Black Dragon Legion!

"Colonel Niza, you are indeed my most promising colonel of the garrison army. Although your troops are small in number, you have defeated the hole card left by the Commissioner Taylor sent by Paris.

Even if the armed guerrilla soldiers on the opposite side don't even have the same military uniforms, just from the disparity in the strength of the enemy and the enemy, your troops are enough to win the battle of encircling and suppressing Rouen! "

Sure enough, the compliment Niza had been waiting for was credited instantly!
"My lord, I'm just doing my job well. Your lord is brave and fearless. Knowing that I'm surrounded by enemy troops several times larger than your own, you still come here to supervise the battle without hesitation. I'm very grateful for your trust in me. !"

"Oh, it's not that I trust you, I dared to come here mainly to see what the Sharva army, which Taylor used as a trump card, is like.

As a result, compared with other guerrilla armed forces, there were only a few more gun barrels, and it was barely enough to have a musket in hand.

Whether it is training or morale, they are similar to those of the militia.

If the National Guard in Paris is at this level, the day when the Kingdom of France returns to Paris will not be far away. "

Lesarit told the truth, he didn't have the slightest awareness of carrying people in a sedan chair. Fortunately, after getting in touch with Niza for a while, he also found out the speaking habits of the Black Dragon Legion officers and soldiers of Lesarite, and there was still a smile on his face. A flattering yet dignified smile.

"My lord is joking, I don't know the individual combat effectiveness of the National Guard in Paris, but their morale should be regarded as second to none in the revolutionary government of Paris today.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the revolutionary government of Paris to defeat the tens of thousands of besieging Prussian-Austrian coalition forces head-on with a group of newly armed citizen 'armies'. "

"Well, I've also heard that rumor, and there is an exaggerated claim that the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces were scared away by the armed citizens of Paris with the courage to ignore the shells.

The revolutionary government of Paris really has no lower limit when it comes to boasting about itself. "

Lessarite nodded in agreement.

"My lord, after this battle is over, do we need to wait for other allied forces to defeat the enemy and come over to join us?"

In Niza's eyes, it is impossible for the various garrison regiments to fail.

Because when the troops were divided, Niza's division had the least number of troops, so it was targeted by Sharva, the most powerful guerrilla armed force, with his "direct line" troops.

Then, Niza fought a beautiful defensive counterattack in front of Lesarit, the war supervisor who was not afraid of death.

First use simple field fortifications (there is no time to build complex field fortifications) to repel a few rounds of onslaughts from the Sharva troops, and after their morale has been almost wiped out, push them over with weak troops, and then there is this Great victory!
The entire combat process can be put into textbooks. The tactics of the era of queuing and shooting seem relatively rigid, but it is precisely because of this rigidity that the battles of both sides often rely on hard power, especially in relatively flat terrain!

The reason why Napoleon in the history of Europe in Li Wei's previous life was so good is that Napoleon was very good at tapping the blood and courage of his troops. As long as Napoleon appeared on the battlefield, the morale of his troops would soar immediately. It would be difficult not to win... …

The current soldiers of the garrison under Niza's command are strong enough to crush the guerrilla forces on the opposite side in terms of morale and training.

Although Taylor's tactics of dividing troops into multiple groups eliminated the hidden danger of internal strife in his own army, it failed to improve the low morale of the guerrillas.

On the contrary, because of the initiative to attack, many guerrilla armed forces were fearful, and their morale dropped further!
Even the Sharva army, which was favored by Taylor, maintained good morale during the initial attack. After a wave of failure to win, the morale dropped rapidly like a leaking balloon...

To put it bluntly, in addition to suffering more, these guerrilla armed forces are at the level of fighting with the wind. They are not even a star and a half behind the revolutionary guerrillas armed with various ideological and spiritual bombs in later generations!
In the words of later generations, it means that the ideological consciousness is not high enough!
Lesarit naturally understood Niza's advantages, but his task of supervising the battle this time was to make the tallest among the dwarfs.

From the garrison, use this victory to select a real general, and then use this victory to separate the garrison and upgrade it to a field standing army!

In this way, Li Wei does not need to send people to gather garrison troops in various towns every time he fights...

And the battle of Rouen this time will also allow these gathered officers and soldiers of the garrison to see real large-scale battles (combats of tens of thousands of enemy troops are already very high-end in this era), and they can fully undertake the establishment of a regular standing army .

"Niza, you have defeated the most enemies this time, and you deserve the first victory in entering Rouen. You don't have to wait for other allies to join up, go directly to Rouen."

Lesarite reminded in a gentle tone.

After Niza heard this, his face was ecstatic. He knew that his hard work these days had finally paid off!
