Chapter 127 The Exercise Ended
After the new order was issued, the battle on the ice was the first to break the deadlock.
The Lightning Ranger Cavalry launched another attack and then began to turn towards the lake shore, preparing to assemble and attack again.
Bernd seized the opportunity and ordered the magician to remove the ice spikes in front of him. The Pea Company in front of them all fixed their bayonets and charged the cavalry. The Pea Company on the other three sides followed behind, while the Cherry Company intercepted and fired at the front. , preventing the cavalry from speeding up and leaving.
The destructive power of the cavalry is greatly reduced due to the loss of speed. The charging soldiers are centered on a group of four. The purple mushroom gun in the hands of the group leader breaks the shield with one shot at close range. The other three bayonets are fired from three directions. Stab it.
The Lightning Ranger cavalry were quickly wiped out. Bernd did not stop the team, but ordered the whole team to quickly run in small steps and continue to charge towards the opponent's archer position.
On the other side, Jurgen also dispatched. The cavalry did not go around to the rear, but suddenly rushed out of the mountains halfway, targeting the spearmen who were returning to defense.
The advancing spearmen were not far from the archer position. After being routed, the troops attacked the archers who were shooting, and Jurgen followed them.
The long-range attacks eased, and Heinz immediately ordered Gade to concentrate on defending the top of the magic shield and let go of the sides to provide attack channels for the soldiers.
At this time, the ice can heavy infantry was less than 10 meters away from them.
The soldiers in the front row emptied the bullets in the magazines as quickly as possible, turning the ice cans in the front into snowdrifts. The formation of the spearmen behind them was in chaos.
Without time to attach bayonets, the soldiers threw away their pea guns, took off the engineer shovels from their backs and rushed forward.
It’s just that the snowmen created by Psyche are all good players and have an advantage in numbers. The soldiers who have been trained for less than a year cannot take advantage of them. They all rely on their fierce strength and being "beaten" "Dead" refused to admit his defeat, maintaining the anxiety on the front line.
Frederick sent a reserve team and asked Franz Jr. to lead the Jaeger company in from the flank.
Soon after, Bernd and Jurgen eliminated the archers and magicians, turned around and surrounded the last spearmen.
The situation was decided. Frederick jumped off the horse, moved his body, took out a lollipop and held it in his mouth.
"How do you feel?" Old Franz asked with a smile.
He was just thinking about how he would take command if it were him, and found that he was at a loss after the light cavalry suddenly appeared.
“I just want to have a good meal and then sleep.” Frederick said, “It would be nice if I could take a hot bath.”
He just gave the order A few orders, but this is not a game. If there is a slight mistake, it will be a disaster. I have to carefully consider all aspects in a short time, which consumes a lot of energy.
The drills have been like this, and I don’t dare to think about what will happen in a real fight.
He said to a messenger: "Go back and tell the military camp that dinner and bath water can be prepared."
When the army returned to the camp, the stew could be smelled far away The fragrance.
If you want to eat, you have to take a shower first. The soldiers put away their weapons and equipment, took out their towels and lined up in front of the bathroom.
The bathroom is a big tent with a row of cauldrons in front, and the hard-working magicians are throwing fireballs into it.
A bathroom can accommodate a row of people taking a bath at a time. Each person takes a bucket of hot water and puts a can of soap in the place.
It only took five minutes from the time I took off my clothes to the time I finished washing and putting on my clothes. I took off my clothes, got myself wet, applied some soap and water, then dried myself and put on my clothes.
After taking a shower, everyone lined up and came to the eating place. Each person had a bowl of bean stew, a bowl of fresh vegetable soup, and half a pound of steamed bread.
The menu says that there will be pickled cabbage and minced pork noodles before going to bed.
Metzger ate the fat and thin stew, and said at the same time: "It's so good to eat, shouldn't it be for us to replenish our strength and fight tomorrow."
The next morning... "Metzger, why didn't you say yesterday that we should sleep in today?"
Metzger quietly poured the shoveled soil in front of him. , then clap tightly, ignoring the glares and complaints from the surrounding people.
Today's subject is to build field fortifications. They have half an hour to dig foxholes. When the time is up, thousands of troops will rush over.
This subject is not very difficult, but the psychological pressure is extremely high. No one wants to have a big lump of ice step on their forehead.
What I had this evening was beef stew with sweet radish, with some grape vinegar added, it was sour and sweet and very appetizing, and there were two extra hard-boiled eggs.
Metzger was peeling the egg shells and just said "I have eggs to eat today" when he was shouted at by Bobo from the opposite side: "Don't talk while eating!"
"Okay." Metzger said before eating the eggs, "I think everyone can stay still tomorrow."
After saying that, he heard everyone around him let out a sigh of relief.
However, more than ten hours later, countless resentful eyes focused on him.
The subject of the third day is ambush. Everyone lurks in the snow in the morning. In the afternoon, enemies will pass by the road at the foot of the mountain.
In order to avoid unnecessary attrition, everyone was given an extra leather blanket to put in the winter sleeping bag, as well as a warm baby.
This kind of warm baby has a combustion chamber in the middle and a water-filled interlayer outside. Charcoal is placed inside to heat the surrounding water, which can provide heating for several hours.
With this set of equipment, even if there is snow all around, you will still be very warm in the sleeping bag.
Only a dozen people were sentenced to death for snoring while sleeping. Some people only woke up when the fight started, resulting in insufficient firepower in the early stage.
The dinner that day was pork elbow stewed with sauerkraut. Everyone hugged the elbow and ate it. Metzger was too busy eating to talk.
When everyone thought that dinner was over, Metzger suddenly said: "I think we can go back soon."
The long dining table was suddenly filled with laughter. Sound, many people have heard about this crow's mouth. Now that he said he can go back to the camp, maybe he will go back after breakfast tomorrow.
However, no one noticed that he said "soon".
The emergency assembly whistle sounded in the early morning. Tonight’s subject is the last one of this exercise, a mountainous night march to the target military camp.
Everyone took out the night lights and installed them on their helmets, followed the road signs and walked into the mountains.
Frederick was also in the team. He said to little Franz next to him: "The latest news is that the neighbors will recruit militia during the slack season after spring plowing and before summer harvest. The day of war will be then. "
"During this period, you must sum up your experience, carry out targeted training, do a good job in education, and prepare for the next war."
"I judge that. Sometimes there will be four enemy armies attacking us at the same time. The strongest one is from Count Ansbach. Therefore, the city of Hausen in front of us needs to rely on the city defense army and militia to hold them back. The main force will destroy the enemies from the other three directions before destroying them. They."
"You have to make plans and let all places do the logistics, so that you don't panic when the time comes."
"Since the guests are here, please stay. This time we will fight a war of annihilation and defense, and strive to eliminate the enemy's ability to resist in one battle. Our goal is to expand our territory."
Soldiers these days are all When beating workers, as long as the boss is killed and the new boss doesn't do anything, they will run away immediately.
This time everyone was at odds with each other, and Frederick did not care about martial ethics. He first physically eliminated the enemy leader, and then swallowed the land. After the fait accompli was established, the lawsuit was brought before the Pope. Not afraid.
