Lord of Ming Dynasty

But sometimes the development of things can't be changed by people's minds. A large army of North Americans bypassed the mountains on the border, as well as the defense lines of ordinary brigades and elite brigades on border defense, and attacked them. They were three miles away from the border. A hundred kilometers away, this elite North American armed force has about 10,000+ people, and the local troops have to gather urgently to resist the enemy's attack.

The North Americans bypassed the line of defense and suddenly attacked the rear. In fact, this is not the first time they have used such a tactic. They have often used it in battles with the British colonial army and the French colonial army, and even once fought against the New Kingdom that conquered here. The army has also used it once, but this kind of thing is hard to defend against. The North American border is mountainous, with many grasslands, lakes and mountains, and it is difficult to defend against a surprise attack by an army.

The ordinary brigades and elite brigades in the nearby states were quickly assembled, but their strength was only more than 3. They could not resist the enemy, so they could only gather the militia teams from each state. For more than a dozen miles, the elite brigade is at the front, and the ordinary brigade is on the two wings. These militia brigades are covering the two wings and the rear.

They are now about a dozen miles away from the front line. Listening to the rumbling of the guns in front, the gunshots are like fried beans. The battalion is less than two regiments, the ordinary brigade has two regiments and one battalion, and the elite brigade has three regiments at full strength, plus a reinforced regiment, and all kinds of auxiliary troops are fully equipped.

Auxiliary forces such as artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, telecommunications companies, transport companies, and militia battalions are equipped to help build fortifications.

There are quite a lot of troops.

There has been no war for many years, and the ordinary brigades have been abolished and abolished again.However, the elite brigade has been training and has always maintained a state of combat readiness. Each state has an elite brigade on duty, and the other two maintain a garrison defense state. They are not fully staffed, but they can be quickly filled within half a month. Ed.

The war has been fought for a month from the enemy's surprise attack to the current battle, so after the enemy's initial breakthrough, here, the elite brigades from all over the place have quickly been fully staffed, and they are on their way to the battlefield.

Now what we encounter on the battlefield is the enemy's vanguard force, about 5 people. They are facing a full-staffed elite brigade and three under-staffed ordinary brigades. The total strength is only 7000. The other two elite brigades and seven Eight ordinary brigades were on their way quickly, while a dozen full militia brigades had gathered to protect the two wings.

It was already the third day of the war, and Tong Tong felt that the militia brigade in front had also exchanged fire with the enemy. From the direction of the enemy's artillery fire, the artillery fire of the elite brigade had shifted, and he knew that the enemy had broken through the militia brigade on the flank.

After all, the enemy has a large number of elite troops. If they want to go deep into the hinterland of the kingdom to attack the empire, the vanguard must be very elite.

"A regiment of the enemy broke through the defensive positions of the two militia brigades ten miles away on the flank. A company of the cavalry battalion has already gone to intercept them. I ordered your troops to deploy defenses quickly and move forward three miles to prevent the enemy from entering the town. The general has mobilized the rear One of the militia brigades will take over the town." A cavalryman ran over quickly and shouted to Tong Tong who was standing in front of the headquarters.

"Yes, I will immediately order the troops to seize the mountain in front." Tong Tong saluted the cavalry, replied, and the cavalry ran away.

Tong Tong ordered the rapid assembly of troops. Three infantry battalions and a company from the headquarters quickly ran out of the town. Of course, he also sent cavalry to meet a militia brigade outside the town to defend the town.

This is the material distribution center of the entire army. There are five militia brigades defending all around, two at the rear and one at the front. They are in the town, flanked by two battalions of militia brigades. The militia brigade is actually a mobile force in the town. There are two battalions participating in the defense, and three battalions are on standby to attack at any time. At this moment, the militia brigade on the flanks must not be mobilized. They can only be pulled out and stuck with another militia brigade. Otherwise, if an elite regiment of the enemy rushes in and burns the supplies in the town, they will lose this battle.

Running out, five miles, basically half an hour, there are already fierce gunshots ahead, and the unique gunshots, roars, and horses of cavalry. It seems that the enemy has used cavalry to attack the militia brigade defending outside the town. .

The infantry ran up, dusty, and ten minutes later, they had crossed the mountain in front of the town. Standing on the mountain, they saw that the hills entering the town on both sides had been captured by the enemy. A battalion of soldiers from the militia brigade relied on the woods and The hillside was resisting, and the militia brigades of the two battalions ran all over the hill, fleeing towards the back frantically.

Tong Tong quickly ordered the troops of the militia brigade to deploy defenses in the mountains and woods along the road. They stayed on the hills on both sides of the road and did not move forward.

Seven or eight minutes later, the skirmishers of the defeated militia brigade who had fled back crossed the mountains and the road, and were intercepted by the cavalry he sent, and ordered them to enter the defensive position.

He now needs troops to hold back the enemy. The cavalry of the elite brigade and ordinary brigade must be dispatching troops now to support the town. He wants to withstand the attack of the enemy's elite regiment.

The enemy came up, and the infantry behind them took over the attack of the cavalry, surrounded and forced the position of a battalion of the militia brigade that was still resisting, and the cavalry quickly followed the road and the mountains on both sides, and the terraced fields moved towards their The position ran over.

Some scattered deserters were killed or beheaded by cavalry. Those who like to behead must be Indians, and those who like to shoot guns must be British and other Western immigrants, that is, the ruling class of Americans.

However, their weapons are relatively good, with bright armor, bright sabers, long riding boots, and good horses, and they also carry cavalry three-pound guns. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, some cavalry quickly set up the three-pound guns , Then Tong Tong saw countless shells crossing the mountains and exploding behind him. This was just the first wave of enemy artillery fire, just for calibration.

The three battalions of the militia brigade here only have Huaxia 21 rifles. These are rifles decades ago. At least 30 years have passed since the kingdom was fully equipped. The rifles that have been developed are relatively backward. Today's rifles have realized the perfect integration of magazines and propellants, and they all use magazines. Now they have to press the bullets one by one, and then reload after five bullets. , not as many bullets as the British's eight-shot rifle, and not as good as the French's five-shot rifle with long range and high accuracy.

But there is still a certain advantage in shooting against the enemy's mounted guns. The mounted rifles, especially the British or French rifles bought by the Americans, are not good, so they still have a chance to defend, but they don't have artillery. This is a big event, the militia brigade in front was broken up, it must be because of the fierce artillery of the enemy.

Chapter 2037 Fire Fighting in the Backyard 1

"Go, go to the warehouse in the town and bring in five [-]-pound cannons from the ordinary brigade," Tong Tong held back a cavalryman from the brigade headquarters and told him to bring the supply warehouse in the town behind to the cannons of the ordinary brigade. Where there were still a few artillerymen guarding, plus the two battalions he defended at the entrance of the town, plus a militia brigade deployed inside and on the flanks of the town, Tong Tong felt that the town could be held.

At least it can be delayed until reinforcements arrive.He asked the cavalry to pull the artillery to the last position at the entrance of the town. He couldn't pull it here. He said something, called the artillery, and then drove the carriage to pull the artillery. At that time, he was going to gather more of the defeated soldiers of the previous militia brigade here, and then slowly retreat to the entrance of the town to defend.

Soon the enemy's artillery fired three rounds, and Tong Tong's militia brigade suffered some damage, but not too much. Can only let them go.

The enemy's cavalry here has already tentatively attacked, and was shot back by a volley of guns, killing and injuring a few people, but next time he knows that the enemy will attack in an all-round way, it is true whether he can hold the infantry behind the enemy.

Crackling, after the enemy tried to attack and bombarded for half an hour, deserters also appeared in the three battalions of Tongtong here. After all, it was more than ten years, and soldiers who hadn't fought in decades. The commander himself was afraid, let alone the soldiers, but the brigade cavalry platoon and the soldiers of the supervising team stopped many scattered soldiers, and after shooting a few, the formation stabilized.

The enemy's infantry began to attack. At this time, a battalion of the militia brigade that resisted was basically wiped out. Tong Tong admired the battalion of the militia brigade. I don't know who their commander is. It seems that they are well-led.

Chapter 2038 Sword Dulles

"What's the rush? An ordinary brigade has arrived at the back of the town. They are rectifying and resting. Their 9000-pound field guns have already set up a position. There are [-] troops. I heard that Kandy, the mercenary from Ezhou, Dulles with the sword Is the leader? This time it is the ordinary brigade he brought. His ordinary brigade is more capable than the elite brigade. He has only been here for an hour... how should I put it, we have nothing to do next. "

"Haha, you are jealous of him, don't talk about that, who made you just an ordinary logistics major of an ordinary brigade, but he is a veteran lieutenant colonel among the mercenaries. I heard that after this time, he We will be promoted to colonel. We can’t compare with others. We are qualified and they are struggling. In the New Kingdom, their foreign people have a harder life than us Han people. It’s actually difficult for everyone. Let’s understand each other. .

People are fighting with their lives, and glory is forged with blood. After ten years of hard work, we can become a major. It is not bad to be a militia brigade commander. After retiring, we can serve as the minister of the local militia and local department. After working hard, we can even become a civil affairs officer If you walk along this road, you may be able to enter the imperial court in the future. Their top ranks are just honored to enter the Privy Council. People can't enter, at most they are generals leading troops. "Tong Tong sat down with a smile, and talked with his good friend, a state militia brigade commander, Major Hua Zang, comforting this unsuccessful handsome man who drank his sorrows with wine.

I resisted the enemy's attack of one cavalry battalion and two infantry battalions on the flank. Your side has at best two enemy infantry battalions, one cavalry company, and one artillery company. We lost at least half of our troops, that is to say, the two of us The combined strength is only about 3000 troops, and there are still many recruits who have not been robbed. Dulles' ordinary brigade came back from Algeria. They fought against the British colonial army, the French and the Spanish colonial army. There was no rest, just right, they can go to fight, do you think he will value the two of us with a force of less than [-]?At most let us garrison the town. "

At least it can be delayed until reinforcements arrive.He asked the cavalry to pull the artillery to the last position at the entrance of the town. He couldn't pull it here. He said something, called the artillery, and then drove the carriage to pull the artillery. At that time, he was going to gather more of the defeated soldiers of the previous militia brigade here, and then slowly retreat to the entrance of the town to defend.
