072 Stronger in hand-to-hand combat

During the third attack wave, the provincial coalition finally relied on the transposition attack and the release of troops on the battlefield saturated, and completed the firepower suppression of the guard infantry in the early stage of the attack.

Firepower suppression is very important for the offensive side. The first two waves of attacks are the first and the last because the offensive side fails to suppress the defensive side. They are killed by the defensive side with large amounts of life and have their own strength, so they naturally cannot withstand it.

A large number of smoothbore guns and attacking mortars fired at the chest barrier defense line, and the guard infantry kept falling down. Even if there were some substitutes, they could not keep up with the consumption speed!

As the guard infantry behind the chest base continued to be killed or injured, the firepower advantage of the attacking party became increasingly greater.

Fortunately, the mortar cannon came up in time, and after opening the bombardment of the flowering bullet, it finally made up for the gap in firepower.

However, at this time, the trench and obstacles such as horse resistance were flattened. The provincial coalition soldiers responsible for the attack were trying to climb over the chest wall that was more than one person tall in front of them.

Suddenly, a large piece of circular objects burning with fire appeared behind the chest wall. Under the horrific gaze of the provincial coalition infantry, it landed at their feet, and then a series of explosions sounded!

The provincial coalition infantry, which was about to climb over the chest, was immediately devastating. The group of infantry soldiers responsible for the attack were blown away by the continuous thunder and thunder, and fled from the battlefield.

The provincial coalition infantry and artillery, who were responsible for fire suppression, saw that the people in front of them were defeated and returned, and then retreated.

Wallace, holding a monocular telescope in his hand, looked at the infantry retreating again, and sighed helplessly.

Although he did not know the military, he still understood the principle that he would lose all his strength in one go.

This is also the reason why he launched a fierce attack on the first day while the morale of the provincial coalition was still good.

Unfortunately, after three waves of offensives, almost all the troops of the provincial coalition were taken over, either responsible for the main attack or the feint attack.

After the main attack team retreated, the feinted team naturally retreated, but the feinted team did not approach the trench at all, and only shot from afar, so the loss was very small.

It was almost dark, and all the troops had taken a round, and their morale was sluggish. Today, they could no longer organize the fourth wave of offensive.

However, the infantry did not attack, and the artillery of the provincial coalition forces roared again, with solid iron bombs one after another. They did not want to knock down the chest bases with sandbags and anti-cannons, but at least they had to clean up the obstacles such as horse-retardant outside. If they were lucky enough to shoot into the chest base defense line, they might even kill several enemy soldiers.

The provincial coalition's shell tubes were enough, so naturally the bombardment was opened.

This shelling continued until the sky was completely dark and the provincial artillery troops who had lost their vision stopped.

The command of the provincial coalition forces began to rectify the army overnight and evaluate the achievements of each unit. If the team responsible for the main attack suffered heavy losses, they would be rotated to the feint attack the next day.

At this time, no relationship is good, and the bosses above dare not worry about the relationship for the position under their butt.

Anyway, they are not the ones who go to the battlefield...

In addition, the provincial capitals received letters of help. When Wallace and his group were fighting here, they also asked the rear to continue to train new recruits and send them over!

In this era, as long as you have money, it is theoretically possible to pull out many armies, because the entry threshold for line infantry is too low. As long as you are not disabled, you can go to the battlefield for two or three months to train.

If you pursue time but not quality, you can also pull militias who can only shoot and not queue up to the front line. At worst, you can do so. Everyone rushed forward and fired and then charged with bayonets.

Early the next morning, the artillery of the provincial coalition forces began to prepare for the defense line outside Rennes, and then reorganized a new attack team, and together with the feinted attack team, attacked the defense line outside Rennes.

Perhaps because of the tragic loss of the attack on the first day, the effect of the Franc mental stimulation method was also discounted. The infantry attack waves on the second day were only two rounds, one round in the morning and one round in the afternoon...

The losses of both sides are not light. Although the Black Dragon Legion died much less than that of the provincial coalition, it could not withstand the total strength of the Black Dragon Legion, so according to the proportion, the losses between the two sides were not much different.

The next day, the provincial coalition forces were also unable to attack the chest base defense line. The guard infantry of the Black Dragon Legion first fired with muskets, then bombarded with mortars, and finally threw thunder and blocked the enemy and attacked the attacking soldiers who climbed with bayonets. Even though the number of people was at a disadvantage, the provincial coalition forces were still fighting were ecstasy...

The only result of the provincial coalition was to fill in the trenches outside the defense line that were flat, had a wide view, and was easy to attack, and cleared most of the obstacles.

When night falls, the provincial coalition forces have been sending people to stare at the chest defense line in secret. Once the Black Dragon Legion sends people to install new obstacles such as horse-rejecting and clearing the trench, they will be shot immediately by cold guns.

After two days of fighting, both sides had already made real fire, mainly because the provincial coalition forces exaggerated, because all the actions of the Black Dragon Legion were obeyed by Li Wei.

On the third day, the provincial coalition suddenly broke out in an offensive situation comparable to the first day, because Wallace and his group found that the provincial coalition lost too much personnel. The third day was likely to be the last day for the provincial coalition to have offensive capabilities.

Wallace, a group of ignorant soldiers, went all out every time he attacked, and had no idea of ​​retaining his military strength. As a result, he destroyed the provincial coalition forces.

The offensive on the third day was as fierce as the first day, but the Black Dragon Legion's strength was far less than the first day, and the thunder bomb was exhausted, which made the provincial coalition appear the first soldier crossing the chest barrier defense line.

But before the soldier could figure out how he spent the 200 francs of bonus, he was pierced by a guard infantryman in the face.

The provincial coalition infantry crossed the chest defense line immediately broke out with the guard infantry. It was really miserable. At least in the impression of Wallace and his group, they had never seen such a brutal battle!

The guard infantry almost used one to fight two or even one to fight three, and used bayonets to push the provincial coalition infantry back!

The provincial coalition infantry discovered in despair that after they crossed thousands of obstacles to the chest defense line, they were defeated by the rebels with bayonets under the advantage of numerous people!

Not to mention that these rebel soldiers are extremely powerful, they are used in a pure and innocent way. Whether it is a team of three or two or a team of two people or a single fight, they can perfectly exert their lethality.

The most important thing is that these rebel soldiers seemed to have no end in their physical strength. Even if they were breathing heavily, they could kill the provincial coalition infantry intact.

This is the combat power shown by the peak physical energy of the human body and the perfect level of bayonet melee fighting ability!
