The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 57 Appetizers

"Report to the general, the vanguard of the enemy is found ten miles ahead."

After receiving the report, Yuri immediately ordered the whole army to deploy, occupy the high ground, and arrange artillery positions.

Those upward-firing mortars are not very dependent on the terrain, but the direct-firing 3-pound field guns are generally placed on relatively high ground due to the problem of the shooting angle.

Therefore, it is very necessary to arrange artillery positions in advance.

After Yuri occupied Savannah City and established his own city government, he proclaimed himself a general.

In this world, generals are not subdivided into ranks such as major general, lieutenant general, general, etc., and often refer to the military leader of one party.

Of course, it is the regular army, and the commander who controls the militia is not qualified to be named a general...

Even the general of the second-line garrison commanded the regular army!

Now Yuri is at least the leader of an army, so he is naturally qualified to call himself a general.

This matter was also recognized by the Augusta Governor's Palace.

Ever since Yuri's father learned of Yuri's 'supernatural power', he no longer regarded Yuri as his subordinate.

What's more, Yuri has pulled out the biggest 'nail' in Georgia, and he is indeed qualified to be a general himself.

Of course, generals like Yuri are not recognized by other colonial states. This is like the leader of the rebel army establishing himself as king. It would be good not to be treated as a laughing stock...

However, outsiders may disapprove, but the people under Yuri dare not neglect. Whether it is the retainers from the Sauron family or the people who have taken refuge in Savannah, they are all generals in front of Yuri. It was an intimate...

When Yuri's army discovered Jackson's vanguard, Jackson's vanguard naturally also discovered Yuri's army.

Yuri has few soldiers, so he didn't divide the troops into forwards and rears, but gathered together and marched.

Although it is easy to be eliminated by the enemy in this way, Yuri has never counted on the security regiment and the temporary artillery regiment to win any battle. It is no problem to use them to suppress bandits, and it is barely enough to fight against the militia regiment in South Carolina (the security regiment Morale is low, they all think they are rebels), but fighting the regular army in South Carolina is very problematic!

Therefore, Yuri must gather troops around him so that he can use his "summoning method" to fight.

In Yuri's eyes, the security team is mainly used to cheer and clean up the battlefield, and it can also be used as a policeman after entering the city.

The temporary artillery regiment provides long-range firepower. If you don't even have a cannon in a war in this era, you will be bombarded so much that even your mother won't recognize it...

After Jackson received the report, he immediately ordered more than 2000 musketeers in the vanguard to form a formation.

The arms of this era are so simple and single, infantry can become musketeers, whether it is skirmishers or line infantry, they all use muskets to fight.

There are slightly more types of cavalry, divided into those who use sabers, those who use muskets and sabers, and those who use cavalry and sabers...

Of course, the first type is the most common, the second type is the elite who do chores, and the third type is the strongest charge among the cavalry.

Unlike Yuri's half-baked army, the South Carolina regular army led by Jackson has cavalry units!
Just on a small scale.

Used by Jackson as a scout.

After all, most military horses in this era are given priority to officers and messengers, followed by scout cavalry.

Officers ride horses not for pretense, but for the convenience of observing the battlefield. Even a middle-level frontline officer will be equipped with a horse.

Only the kind of hard-working grassroots officers who are still ahead of the line to be shot have no horses...

Jackson's vanguard of [-] troops lined up three miles away.

This is a safe distance beyond the effective range of the colonial field artillery. It doesn't mean that the large-caliber field artillery can't shoot as far as three miles away, but that after shooting three miles away, the shells don't know where they will fly...

Maximum range and effective range are not the same concept.

Conventional field artillery of this era generally had an effective range of between one and two miles.

If it is a mortar, the shooting distance is not much farther than that of a musket...

The vanguard of South Carolina's regular army is all infantry, and they don't even have artillery, so naturally they won't attack rashly. Their task is only to watch over Yuri's troops.

If Yuri's troops shrink into a marching formation and want to run away, they will chase after them, hanging behind Yuri's troops and happily chasing after them.

It would be even better if Yuri's troops were in battle formation. Isn't this exactly the goal of the military order issued by Jackson?
Holding a binoculars, Yuri looked at the densely packed battle formations of the South Carolina regular army in the distance, occupying high ground (armies in this era like to occupy high ground to fight), and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I'll give you an appetizer first."

[The host spends 100 game coins to open the silver-level trial, the location is selected, and it meets the launch standards.

The silver-level trial starts: 1000 Arab heavy infantry descend. They will kill all armed personnel in sight, and hunt down the host until all are killed. 】

York, a Charleston native, is now an honorable 'supplier'.

Among the more than 2000 people in the vanguard, there are hundreds of logistics soldiers like York. It does not mean that they will not go to the battlefield.

The soldiers in front were forming formation under the command of the officer, while York and his companions were unloading a small amount of marching supplies.

Then, he saw a scene he would never forget.

In the open space 100 meters away from him, a blue light curtain flashed away, densely packed with ancient Arabic robes, white turbans on their heads, machetes hanging from their waists, and groups of soldiers carrying a round shield on their backs rushed out from the originally empty land...

The Arab heavy infantrymen took out their shields at the back, drew out the scimitars around their waists, let out a war cry unique to the Arab region, and rushed towards the crowd in front of them fearlessly.

Wherever they passed along the way, scattered logistics soldiers were hacked to death just as they took out their muskets!

The timid York did not pick up the musket like other logistics soldiers, but his legs softened, and he got under the carriage next to him.

Then he saw rows of feet rushing past the car!
Scattered gunfire attracted the attention of the soldiers who were lining up.

Since the enemy suddenly appeared behind, and launched a charge without even forming a formation, the phalanx of the spearhead troops became chaotic when they turned their guns.

Many soldiers had to use bayonets to fight hand-to-hand with the swarming Arab heavy infantry after only firing one bullet.

These Arabian heavy infantry from the game don't have iron armor on them, but they are a veritable elite in hand-to-hand combat!
