18th century total war

Chapter 214 Lead Bullet Grenade and Explosive Pack
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!
Long live France!
The revolution must win! ! ! "

On the outskirts of the main position of the Black Dragon Legion, the red, white and blue tricolor flags all over the mountains and plains came into the eyes of the guard infantry officers and soldiers.

There was not even an open space to be found on the horizon, and even if each company had only one red, white and blue flag, the sight of flags everywhere fell to the eyes of the Black Dragon Legion defenders at the main position.

Obviously, Kleber absorbed the mistakes of the generals in front of him, and he really didn't count the cost of casualties when dealing with the Black Dragon Army. He bet on the main force of the whole army at the beginning of the game!

As long as the battlefield can be placed, send troops there!

The densely packed sea of ​​people, with the company as an independent basic unit, forms a large battalion-level or even regiment-level square formation, and then joins together with friendly troops. As the distance between the two sides gets closer, the entire horizon is quickly covered by the crowd' Stuffed'!
And the large-caliber field artillery of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army in the rear is still continuously bombarding the chest fortifications of the main position.

Groups of soldiers of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army, under the guidance of the red, white and blue flags, quickly filled the trenches in front of them with various filling materials, and cleared all obstacles such as forks and logs.

During this period, the guard infantry and a few sharpshooters lying on the shooting positions of the chest defense line, like shooting targets, killed the soldiers of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army carrying muskets.

Kleber gave full play to his superiority in strength, and the main position was full of main attack directions, so Karl had to send a large number of reserves to the forward position at the first time to prevent gaps from appearing.

The gunshots behind the chest defense line continued, but the Revolutionary Army for National Salvation was advancing steadily, and their musket formations were also constantly counterattacking. Even if the effect was mediocre, at least they had achieved some results.

After paying a heavy price, the advance team of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army finally filled and cleared the trenches, forks, rows of logs and other obstacles, and the large troops behind could unimpededly rush up to the chest barrier with ladders.

It didn't take long for the advance team that had suffered excessive losses to withdraw. The troops behind them carrying small ladders filled their vacancies. Under the cover of their own muskets and mortars, they began a boring and boring field offensive and defensive battle.

The explosive shells of the mortars, the lead bullets of the muskets, and the thrown grenades formed three lines of firepower to completely strangle the attacking National Salvation Revolutionary Army.

However, the National Salvation Revolutionary Army had more artillery, and at the same time sent a small number of grenadiers to throw mines at each other's infantry guards of the Black Dragon Legion on the main position!

The corpses and screams of both sides became the main theme of the battlefield. One side was suppressed by revolutionary brainwashing, while the other was a completely loyal army.

Finally, the National Salvation Revolutionary Army, which had an advantage in numbers, successfully attached the small ladder to it.

The front of the chest line of defense was already densely packed with crowds. Even though there were many ladders on top of the chest wall, there were still more National Salvation Revolutionary Army soldiers who could not climb the ladders. gun.

At this moment, the infantry guards behind the chest line of defense suddenly took out a hissing explosive package one by one.

Even with the physical strength of a Guards infantryman, he still needs both hands to lift it up. You can imagine how large the charge of these explosive bags is!

The brave and careful Guards Infantry all waited for the fuse of the explosive pack to burn out before they smashed down from above on the people waiting to climb down the small wooden ladder!

This can prevent the explosive package from being picked up and thrown back by the enemy soldiers below before it detonates...

The scenes in movies and TV shows where the enemy and the enemy pick up grenades and throw them back at each other are not fabricated, but are things that often happen on the battlefield!

For ordinary people who have never experienced war, it takes a lot of courage to pick up a smoking explosive that is about to detonate, but for a veteran, this is their means of survival!

So, don't think it's a brave act to throw back the smoking grenade around you on the battlefield, this is a must-have combat skill for a seasoned veteran!
Otherwise, you won't be able to live that long at all!
As for warriors who pounce on explosives, there are not none on the battlefield, but they are very few...

After all, the survival instinct of human beings is still very strong.

The heavy explosives fell down one by one, and before they detonated, some unlucky guy below screamed and fell to the ground bleeding, and then there was a loud bang!
Together with the entire small wooden ladder will be blown off!

Even if this kind of high-yield explosive pack is filled with black powder, the explosive power is still very impressive, and it will even hurt the infantry guards who are half exposed above the chest defense line.

Of course, many of the Guards Infantrymen responsible for throwing had no chance of being harmed at all. The dense muzzles below were enough to sieve the Guards Infantrymen who were throwing explosive packets with most of their bodies exposed...

Many explosive packs were planted along with the bodies of the infantrymen!
The sound of explosions below the chest defense line was endless, far exceeding the scale of the previous grenade explosion, and the National Salvation Revolutionary Army that had rushed below the chest defense line was crying.

Of course, the morale of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army responsible for the attack also collapsed and began to retreat towards the rear.

However, as soon as they got out of the frontline battle, the infantry defenders hadn't rested yet, and more fully organized Revolutionary Army for National Salvation rushed forward.

Carrying brand-new small wooden ladders, they chanted the slogan of "freedom, equality, fraternity or death", and rushed to the battlefield with high morale and even madness.

Another wave of explosive package bombing started...

In this way, the almost continuous offensive quickly consumed the large explosive packs stored behind the chest defense line of the main position!
Even the grenades carried by many guard infantry were used up!
Many mortars temporarily lost their shooting ability due to excessive firing, and some mortars were blown up by enemy mortars fired close to them.

At some point, the National Salvation Revolutionary Army stopped its direct field artillery bombardment, because the number of soldiers of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army on the front line far exceeds the defenders of the Black Dragon Army, and the direct field artillery can easily accidentally injure friendly troops.

However, a large number of old-fashioned mortars were carried to the front line and became a sharp weapon for harvesting infantry.

Without the three enemy-killing weapons of mortars, grenades and high-yield explosive charges, the Guards infantry could no longer stop the wave of people from the National Salvation Revolutionary Army. In other words, Commander-in-Chief Karl did not want his soldiers to compete with the National Salvation Revolutionary Army. Bayonet fights the light.

Killing the enemy with a bayonet, how can it be faster to kill the enemy with grenades and explosives?

The densely packed small wooden ladders were crowded with climbing National Salvation Army soldiers. After the infantrymen retreated, they quickly crossed the breast barrier defense line!

Then, they saw that the chest defense line was behind a flat terrain, and there was another long artillery defense line!
