18th century total war

Chapter 217 The Magic Weapon of Winning
The garrison soldier whose long leg was bitten, after the initial panic, gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, raised the butt of his gun and slammed it on the opponent's head.

It only took one click, and the emaciated laborer in the labor office passed out, but the soldier of the garrison was still angry, turned the bayonet end of the gun barrel, and skillfully pierced the neck of the unconscious laborer in the labor office on the ground.

The labor center worker who had just been unconscious suddenly woke up from the pain. He instinctively grabbed the bayonet pierced into his neck with both hands. His eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out. He spurted blood out of his mouth as if he didn't want money. After a few seconds, his body went limp. Leave this dark world.

"Pooh!

That lowly stinky shit, how dare you bite me! "

The garrison soldier looked at the long legs that had been bitten through the military uniform, exposing the bloody wounds. The hatred in his eyes suddenly increased, and he stabbed the corpse on the ground several times with a bayonet.

However, when the garrison soldier turned around, he suddenly saw a blade of light across his neck, and a horrified head shot up into the sky before he could change his expression. Under the inertial force of the horse, the cavalry didn't even need to consume No amount of arm strength can easily decapitate the enemy infantry.

"First!"

Ollie adjusted the position of his saber again, counting silently in his mind.

Facing the soldiers of the Garrison Corps, Oli didn't feel any pressure in his heart, and had already regarded this battle as an easy hunt.

The fact is indeed true, those garrison soldiers were suddenly attacked by hundreds of light cavalry, and before they even had time to fire a few shots, they were smashed to pieces, and the ground was full of garrison soldiers kneeling on the ground and raising their hands to surrender.

After the battle, an adjutant came to Ollie's side and asked, "Sir, what do you do with the captured and rescued laborers?"

"Our combat mission is to wreak havoc behind the enemy lines and eliminate as much as possible the logistics team of Li Wei's rebels. There are no manpower and sites to place the prisoners, so all the prisoners are killed.

Let those laborers go, anyway, we will leave here soon, if those laborers are willing to join the guerrillas and fight against Levi's rebels, you can give them the muskets and ammunition we seized.

Take away the seized materials that can be taken away, and burn all the seized materials that cannot be taken away! "

Amidst the wailing and begging for mercy, the prisoners of the garrison soldiers who did not die in the battle were executed by the cavalry with their hands tied behind their backs, pressed to the ground and shot at the back of their heads one by one.

The muskets used in the shooting were exactly the flintlocks they had in their hands!
It's not that the light cavalry that Oli gave were not equipped with guns, and the captured muskets were used to execute prisoners of war, mainly for waste utilization.

Oli brought nothing to the team except the necessary dry food and combat supplies. What he pursued was mobility, so naturally he would not take the captured muskets away.

The next day, in Karl's headquarters, Karl asked in a serious tone to the officers who had been specially called over in front of him:
"Look at these battle reports!
Why are there hundreds of light cavalry from the National Salvation Revolutionary Army rampaging in our rear!
How did you let them go!
If you can't even do this well, then take off this military uniform and go to the front line as a death squad! "

"General, we are not afraid of being a death squad, but this time it was our dereliction of duty. We are willing to take our personal guards into the logistics train and pull out these hundreds of enemy light cavalry and eliminate them!"

"General, this light cavalry should not have passed through our defense zone in an organized manner. They are likely to be broken up into pieces. Several cavalry moved together and gathered after passing through our defense zone.

Prior to this, we wiped out many light cavalry of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army who were trying to infiltrate the rear. "

"I don't need an explanation.

But your suggestion is good, you officers should bring your own guards, put on the uniforms of the garrison regiment, and enter the next wave of logistics and supply teams.

If you don't wipe out those light cavalry behind the enemy, you don't have to come back.

In your position, I will let your subordinates act as temporary agents. If you can't even do this little thing well, even if you don't die in the rear, I will transfer you to the front line as death squads! "

"As ordered, General!"

Not long after Karl got the news that the rear transport team was attacked, Levi got a detailed battle report.

It's not that Li Wei doesn't have a single cavalry, and the standing army has also trained a lot of cavalry, but the combat effectiveness of these cavalry is not as good as that of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army's cavalry.

Therefore, these cavalry often act as auxiliary arms in combat.

Li Wei glanced at his personal panel, looked at the total number of troops and glory points on it, and shook his head:

"The French revolutionary government has not yet been defeated, and the glory value must be reserved for violent soldiers, and there are too many unstable factors in the drawing of troops. What if the cavalry is not drawn, and repetitive troops such as grenadiers are drawn? Big loss?

The current situation can still be maintained, wait until Paris is taken to see how far the total war system will be upgraded, and then decide whether to draw arms. "

A few days later, Ollie frowned as he took the news from the front line through the channel of the guerrillas.

The commander of the Southern Group Army strictly ordered him to cut off the logistics line of the Levi rebels as much as possible, because the Levi rebels used a large amount of explosives to cause serious casualties to the National Salvation Revolutionary Army.

This is even related to whether the main position of the first division of Levi's rebel army can be captured.

Kleber believes that if there is not enough black powder, the death squads of the Levi rebels will disappear, and the powerful large-yield explosive packs for defense will also be insufficient, and the sea of ​​​​people of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army will surely engulf the Levi rebels. The main position of the first division of the army, realizing the tactics of cutting, encircling, gathering and annihilating!
In the current battle on the main front, there are not many bayonet battles with the main force of the Li Wei rebels. No matter how hard the National Salvation Revolutionary Army tries, it will eventually be stopped by the close-range artillery bombardment of the Li Wei rebels, plus the artillery of the death squads to stop the enemy. base line.

That firepower net was really terrifying, and the attacking Revolutionary Army for National Salvation had no idea how many death squads there were in Li Wei's rebel army!
Theoretically, as long as there are enough death squads to block the enemy, the National Salvation Revolutionary Army will never be able to cross the artillery defense line!
This kind of field fortification with chest and artillery fortifications is not difficult to build and does not take much time. Even if the main force of the Southern Army Group attacks in another direction, the main force of the First Division of the Li Wei Rebel Army can quickly make adjustments. Combat has more advantages in time, and the positions are arranged in advance.

Therefore, Kleber had high expectations for Ollie to give this harassing cavalry team that had finally broken into the enemy's rear.

There is even a tendency to use the troops given by Ollie as a winning weapon.
