Take the Empire To the Other World

"Black night, it really is dark night again, the discipline of this group of blue-clothed soldiers is really too strong!"

Having already reached the top of the city, Yuwen Yuanwu in military uniform couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw the torches rushing over the mountains and plains, and the dense sandbags filling the river.

Although the defensive artillery of one's own side fired one after another, it was difficult to achieve the same hit rate as in the daytime even with torches outside in the dark, and the difference between the two was not a tiny bit!

However, in this era, few armies would choose field battles, especially in sieges!

On the one hand, it is because soldiers in this era generally suffer from night blindness due to the lack of food, and on the other hand, the visibility at night is too poor, and soldiers are prone to desertion.

Even if it is an army with a strong sense of honor and centripetal force, soldiers will get lost or fall behind during the attack...

Only an army with strong discipline and high self-discipline can guarantee that during the night offensive, there will be no large-scale backwardness and chaos on one's own side.

Obviously, the Bluecoats have done everything, and the attack at night has almost no other impact except that the muskets are not as accurate as in the daytime!

At least the morale of the blue army is in a mess!

The guns on the city wall fired non-stop, and the team of the blue-clothed army filling the river fell layer by layer outside the moat. The river surface was covered with densely-packed blue-clothed army corpses, and the number was increasing exponentially!

The Bluecoats don't take soldiers seriously at all...

No, to be precise, the Blue Shirts don't even take the lives of officers seriously!

Often when the strength of a regiment goes up, no one can retreat alive!

In the eyes of the defenders of Reese City, the Blue Army is a group of outright lunatics, even crazier than those lunatics!

Because of this, more and more people think that the blue-clothed army commanded by Wang Ziming is not a real human being at all, but a "summon" of Wang Ziming.

Although there has not been such a large-scale human-like army summoner in history, the career paths are all developed by human beings. Perhaps Wang Ziming is the talented pioneer who developed a set of unique summons. What about the teacher's path?

As the power of the blue army is constantly exposed, this concept has penetrated into the hearts of everyone in Rees City!

Witnessing the crazy momentum of the blue-clothed army's attack, Yuwen Yuanwu was able to fully understand the gap between the two sides. If it wasn't for the city of Reese with a moat more than ten meters wide and a tall diamond-shaped fortress-like city wall, the blue-clothed army only needed one charge to be able to attack. Defeat the city defense army!

This also explains why Obaro's 1st Infantry Division, known as the most elite Obaro Colony, had a strong sense of honor and was wiped out in one night despite having the advantage in firepower...

Under the stacking of this kind of crowd tactics, as long as the firepower intensity does not exceed the density of the crowd charge, it is impossible to win!

The shrapnel shells of the Zilong Federation are very strong, and every time it is guaranteed that hundreds of small marbles and other debris will fly in all directions, sweeping away the people nearby, but the rate of fire of the artillery is doomed that the shrapnel shells cannot form a line. Fire blockade network...

Of course, don't mention blocking the charge of the French line infantry.

In Yuwen Yuanwu's field of vision, many French line infantry who were shot and injured even took the initiative to jump into the moat holding sandbags!

In addition, there are also pontoon bridges that are being repaired on the moat at the same time under the hail of bullets.

The huge force allowed the French line infantry to build pontoon bridges while filling the river, which could effectively disperse the firepower of the defending army.

Of course, the French line infantry attacking the city was not without resistance. Squads of French line infantry equipped with captured Longzheng rifles were at the rear, forming a series of gun arrays and firing salvos at the defenders on the city wall.

Regardless of whether they can hit people or not, just firing rows of bullets is enough to weaken the firepower of the defenders!

Due to the short range of the flintlock guns and the high defense system of the city of Reese, only soldiers equipped with Longzheng rifles in the French line of infantry were able to shoot and kill the defenders on the city.

The attack of the French line infantry was carried out on three walls at the same time, and it reached a climax at the beginning, because the French line infantry did not have the phenomenon of being repulsed, it just rushed up one by one, and when they were dead, they went up to the top. Army soldiers must always stay on the front line to defend against the enemy!

The City Defense Force of Reese City originally only had two infantry regiments plus one garrison artillery regiment. During the war, the reserve system was used to temporarily double its strength, and it was only more than 10,000 people.

If there are more, they can only recruit civilian mercenaries and civilians with guns...

However, even if the Yuwen family wants to do this, it is not possible to do it in a day and a half. In fact, it has been proved how efficient the Yuwen family is to be able to gather the reserves of the city defense army and send them weapons to the city in such a short period of time. up!

As for the private soldiers of the rich and powerful in the city, they gathered together and their weapons were ready-made, but it was a pity that the Yuwen family did not have the right to recruit them.

Only some powerful private soldiers who could not leave the base of Reese City went to the battlefield.

These troops are enough to guard the three walls of Reese City, but they can't stand the non-stop attack of the French line infantry!

When the battle progressed to the second half of the night, the artillery in the garrison of Rees City had all misfired due to the overheating of the barrels, and some of them even exploded!

Ordinary infantry also suffered heavy losses, and a large number of wounded were left idle in the streets and alleys, with no one to take care of them at all.

The limited medical staff are already too busy to touch the ground, but the wounded soldiers on the front line seem to be transported endlessly!

At this time, all the reserve teams that Yuwen's family could call up had already been deployed, and a small number of mercenaries that were summoned temporarily even fled because of the intense battle situation on the front line!

After the attack in the middle of the night, the gunshots outside the city not only did not weaken, but became more intense!

The moat has been filled with sandbags and earthbag corpses, and the corpses are the main material!

The firepower of the defenders in Reese City was not blown out. In addition, the close-range shotgun shells of the artillery covered the French line infantry filling the river layer by layer. The casualties were all in units of "hundreds"!

Although the desperate offensive method of the French line infantry put infinite pressure and casualties on the defenders of Reese City, it also made their own casualties too many to count!

Only Wang Ziming can see the French line infantry whose numbers are constantly beating and decreasing from the personal panel!

Of course, Wang Ziming who saw this scene could only feel delighted. For every 10,000 French line infantrymen who died, the probability of the army mutiny due to insufficient rations would decrease by one point!

If one division is gone, fill in two divisions, and if it is not enough, add 5 divisions!
