18th century total war

Chapter 28 The Great Victory
bang bang bang...

The sound of dull physical collisions continued to be heard. The tactical quality of the basic line infantry was too poor. The officers, including the officers, could not stop after charging, and crashed into the second line of linemen of the Vannes defenders inside……

This is the flaw of the basic line infantry. They don't know how to judge the situation at all, and even the officers command the battle rigidly. They don't know when to order to stop charging, and when to line up and shoot...

In addition to receiving basic training in the training camp of the total war system, Borcha has also led troops to fight in battle, so he reacted after seeing the dense enemy phalanx.

It's a pity that it was already too late at this time, everyone rushed under the nose of the enemy, and there was no time to stop!
Really elite troops, at least when they see the enemy's follow-up dense phalanx [-] meters away, will stop chasing and quickly form a team.

Fortunately, the fearless charge of the infantry in the first line caused gaps in the second battle line of the Vannes defenders. The composition of the Vannes defenders is too complicated, and the overall quality of the soldiers Most of them are only equivalent to militia and police. Where have you seen such a brutal charge?

If the phalanx was not dense enough, they would have been overwhelmed by Li Wei's line infantry long ago.

However, when the defenders of Vannes City on the second line of battle fought more and attacked the enemy line infantry rushing over, the line infantry of the second part of the Black Dragon Legion had already walked over.

Like the line infantry in the first part, they completely ignored the huge losses suffered by their own side in this battle. They stopped within thirty paces, raised their guns and fired three salvos at the enemy's dense phalanx. Pull the trigger!

The continuous roar suddenly exploded, and many of our own line infantry who were being besieged were killed by this wave of salvo!

In order to win, these line infantry don't care about the problem of fratricide.

In the next second, the second line of infantry who completed the salvo rushed up with bayonets...

The second line of battle in Vannes is the same as the first line of battle. Even though there are many armed citizens with high morale fighting against the enemy bravely, they are still easily overwhelmed!

Because the majority of the city guards, policemen, and local public security forces were not desperately aware, and the phalanx was inserted by the line infantry of the first part of the Black Dragon Army, and it became less dense. How could it be blocked? Black Dragon Legion these desperate lunatics?
When Gibbon and his party saw the second and last battle line that had been expected to be broken down, their faces were pale, but they did not hesitate to steer their horses and fled frantically in the direction of Vannes.

This time, more than 5000 troops were completely defeated. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the city of Vannes could no longer resist the invasion of the Black Dragon Army, even though the Black Dragon Army seemed to have suffered a lot of casualties.

"Damn it, what benefits did Levi give those soldiers? How come everyone in the Black Dragon Legion risked their lives? I have lived for so many years and I have never seen such a desperate legion!"

Gibbon cursed angrily in his heart while controlling the horse to speed up his escape.

There are not a few people who think like Gibbon, but the facts are already in front of them, and the army has been defeated. Although they don't understand military affairs, they also understand that without guns, they are lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

Li Wei has made it clear that the banner is rebelling!
Unless these people are really determined to surrender to Li Wei and rebel with him, Li Wei doesn't have to have any scruples about killing them.

The previous noble status, money and power were nothing in the face of civil war.

Li Wei looked at the defenders of Vannes City, who had already caused a chain reaction and collapsed and fled across the board, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if a huge boulder had fallen in his heart.

He knew that after the victory of this battle, he was truly freed from the shackles, and Vannes, as the capital city of a province, had a much stronger foundation than Charles Town!
The most important thing is that Li Wei can openly search for more young men of the right age to train soldiers.

Although the total war system has not prompted Li Wei to obtain the glory value, but Li Wei knows that the battle is not yet completely over. When the battle is over, the evaluation of the total war system can definitely provide him with at least a little glory point.

This was deduced by Li Wei from his previous experience in obtaining glory points.

Although the garrison of Vannes this time looked messy, and even the military uniforms were uneven, there were still many people wearing civilian clothes, obviously composed of city residents who had just been armed.

But there are so many troops that can't stand the enemy!
Moreover, the enemy army also has more than a dozen artillery pieces to help out. Whether it is an old-fashioned mortar or a direct-firing field artillery, they have caused a lot of casualties to the Black Dragon Army during the battle. Fortunately, the defenders in Vannes collapsed too quickly. Give your own artillery too much time to play.

Now that the main defensive formation in Vannes City has collapsed, the gunners and guards near the artillery are running faster one by one. They can't take the heavy artillery away, and they all become Li Wei's spoils of war!
These cannons are treasures. Even in the current Kingdom of France, it does not mean that all big cities have the ability to forge cannons. After all, they are controlled weapons and dominate the battlefield.

The artillery of the defenders in Vannes was accumulated slowly in the past, and they were not produced by Vannes itself.

At this time, Bolcha was covered in blood, and sat down on a corpse panting.

He was really out of strength. As a member of the first part of the charge, he really used all his strength.

Of course, the soldiers under Polcha's command were all listless at this time, and they gathered not far from him to recover their strength.

Borcha scanned the circle, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "After one battle, there are less than 100 of the more than 20 people left. Isn't the price too high..."

Just as Bolcha had doubts about the price of this victory, there was a sudden roar in his head, and the familiar firmness appeared in his eyes again, and he kept alerting himself in his heart: "For the glory of Lord Li Wei, even if everyone dies , is also worth it!"

After regaining some strength, Borcha casually picked up an intact flintlock gun and led his soldiers to a group of prisoners of war who had just been escorted over to take over.

At this time, the battlefield is full of captives who surrendered, not everyone can run past the pursuing line infantry...

Not long after, a messenger riding a military horse crossed the battlefield, restraining all the line infantry not to enter the city of Vannes!
Now the troops of the Black Dragon Legion are scattered, and there are still a large number of prisoners of war that need to be collected. There are not many troops that can enter the city of Vannes to control the situation.

When the battlefield completely subsided, Li Wei finally received a reward reminder from the total war system.
