The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 132 Philadelphia on the brink of collapse

If the leaders of the Philadelphia Command knew that 5000 ancient soldiers would appear in the second line of defense, they would never send out the most capable regular army of the United States of America in the third line of defense.

Gunshots and cannons sounded almost simultaneously, and the fortress guns at the head of Philadelphia could already bombard the second line of defense.

Compared with the first line of defense hanging alone outside, the second line of defense and the third line of defense inside the city can be connected as one.

The army of the United States of America placed heavy artillery on the walls of Philadelphia, allowing them to directly provide fire support to the second line of defense from a commanding position.

The most important thing is that the heavy artillery is operated by experienced professional artillerymen, many of whom are British artillerymen!
In this era when artillery sights are not advanced, the accuracy of shooting mainly depends on the artillery experience.

Therefore, the Nord infantry gathered in the second line of defense were immediately swept away by brutal lead bullets. The armor they were proud of was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the artillery shells. As long as they were hit, even a whole body would be destroyed. No corpses can be left behind.

The performance of the regular army of the United States of America is different. As soon as the Nord infantry appeared in the form of squad deployment, thousands of people were hit by lead bullets and fell down!

However, because the Nord infantry was not far from the enemy, they repeatedly threw their best throwing axes during the charge, which immediately disrupted the fighting rhythm of the regular army of the United States of America who lined up and fired.

The rhythm of the battle was chaotic, and the biggest advantage of the regular army of the United States of America against the soldiers on trial disappeared.

There was no continuous volley of guns to slaughter the Nord infantry, and the fearless Nord infantry quickly rushed into the crowd.

Most of these Nord infantry with the physical fitness of Tier 1 fighters are ordinary people, a few have trainee fighters, and very few regular troops of the United States of America with Tier 1 fighters' physical fitness, it is a model of pushing all the way.

Moreover, the tomahawk is more flexible than the bayonet in hand-to-hand combat!

On the other hand, it is not so easy to pierce the armor of the Nord infantry with the bayonets of the soldiers of the United States of America.

The Nord Kingdom uses heavy infantry as the main force in the game of horseback riding and blade, and is the country with the highest infantry armor rate. Therefore, the backbone of the Nord Kingdom, the Nord infantry, everyone wears armor.

After the two sides entered into a melee, the artillery at the head of Philadelphia immediately lost its effect. The two sides already had me in you and you in me, so naturally they couldn't continue to let the artillery bombard them.

As a result, tens of thousands of regular troops from the United States of America and tens of thousands of other random soldiers were beaten out of the second line of defense by thousands of Nord infantry in just half a day.

In fact, only the regular army of the United States of America was really fighting. The other logistics soldiers, Italian mercenaries, and Indian tribal fighters who were used to fill up the numbers collapsed early, and fled to the periphery of the battlefield in an organized way, and did not choose the direction of Philadelphia!

Many regular soldiers of the United States of America were also kidnapped and left...

After successfully breaking the enemy out of the second line of defense, the Nord infantry still has thousands of troops!
These Nord infantrymen were already red-eyed, and followed the rout and rushed towards the third line of defense in Philadelphia, which was strictly guarded.

Naturally, it was easily slaughtered by the platoon guns and artillery guarding the city wall.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the gold-level trial, gaining a half-year trial protection period, and the lottery reward pool has begun to be generated...

The lottery reward pool has been generated: Nord infantry unit card, 5000 game coins, and 2 resurrection keys.

The draw begins...

Congratulations to the host for extracting 2 resurrection keys. 】

Yuri looked at the prompts with satisfaction, not sure if it was an illusion, Yuri felt that the game system began to choose lucky draw rewards for himself according to his own wishes.

Of course, this is not the case for every game, but if Yuri has been thinking about which reward to draw after seeing the reward pool of the lottery, the probability of drawing will be greatly increased.

This is Yuri's conclusion after drawing the most desired resurrection key twice in a row. Of course, this conclusion is based on guesswork and cannot be counted.

"My lord, don't send soldiers to the second line of defense.

The artillery positions in Philadelphia are very delicately arranged. We will definitely encounter shelling when we advance to the second line of defense at this time. Even if the second line of defense is no longer guarded by the enemy, it is easy to cause a lot of casualties to us.

Moreover, all the fortifications on the second line of defense are facing us, and there is no obstruction in the direction of Philadelphia. Even if we occupy it, we cannot use the ready-made fortifications to resist the Confederates from Philadelphia. The artillery in the direction continued to harass and bombard.

It will have a great impact on the morale of the army. "

At this moment, Napoleon reminded from the side.

Napoleon knew very well that the power of smoothbores in this era to soldiers is mainly due to the impact on morale, and the lethality is just that.

Unless you bombard with grape bombs at a close distance, or use an advanced howitzer that can fire explosive bombs, it is difficult for the artillery to cause a large number of casualties to the infantry array.

It's just that the bombarded areas will have the effect of "shaking the earth and shaking the mountains", which will increase the psychological pressure of the soldiers.

Moreover, all soldiers hit by artillery shells will inevitably lose some parts, and their death will be extremely miserable, which will also affect the morale of the attacking troops.

Napoleon knew that his boss would not be willing to take out his direct soldiers who were not afraid of death, and the Yuri Army must occupy the second line of defense.

The soldiers in the Yuri Legion are all real living people with emotions and desires. If such soldiers are passively beaten by shelling, let alone the casualties, the high morale raised by the previous victory will definitely be fatally hit.

In Napoleon's opinion, this kind of loss was completely unnecessary.

Anyway, the boss of his own family can also put the trial soldiers into Philadelphia to destroy the enemy.

Yuri nodded after hearing this, and agreed to Napoleon's suggestion.

At the same time, the temporary general headquarters in Philadelphia was already making noise, and for the first time there was a sound of surrender!
The tens of thousands of regular troops of the United States of America sent to the second line of defense not only did not gather many routs after World War I, but less than [-]% of them fled back...

It can be said that it has been completely abolished.

Although there are still a lot of troops in the city, the Indian soldiers are enough...

But everyone has seen the previous battles, the bravery of the Indian warriors did not play any role in the face of the demon king Yuri's summoned army!
The brave Indian tribal fighters seemed to have become as cowards as European mercenaries in an instant.

That's right, now the bigwigs in Philadelphia have completely regarded the European mercenaries as garbage, and even evacuated the few Italian mercenaries in the city from the front line, and used them as logistics servicemen...

I didn't see these European mercenaries fighting on the battlefield, but they must have been in the leading team when they were running!
