In contrast, the Hereford Whites fought with bayonets and guns. otbnkotgt There are only two ways to deal with these soldiers, one of which is to make a cameo appearance as the Great Swordsman.
Swing and slash with your own bayonet gun.
Block the enemy's super long spear to the side, then bully it forward to shorten the attack distance.
It's just a pity that although shorter bayonet guns are easier to use, the fusiliers are not professional swordsmen.
They do not have enough strength to deflect several spears in one go.
So this tactic is difficult to establish.
The first three rows of the super spear phalanx are all facing the enemy and can launch an attack.
If you are not careful, you will be attacked by many spears and spears, and then be killed mercilessly.
In this case, more white legionnaires chose the second tactic, which was to fight with two columns of infantry.
This was a tactic that William came up with temporarily because the fusiliers were unable to resist the dense array of super long guns in close combat.
Under the orders of each company commander, each company divided the soldiers into two parts.
Two-thirds of them, or about a hundred infantry, formed two bayonet arrays and fought with the opponent while maintaining the formation.
Of course, this could not do anything to the super spearmen.
They only serve to protect and defend.
The real attack was made by the fifty grenadiers who were protected behind them.
These soldiers equipped with grenades, under the cover of bayonet riflemen, calmly threw grenades to attack the opponent's infantry units.
Within the field of vision of William's telescope, behind the struggling bayonet riflemen, the grenadiers formed two horizontal lines as quickly as possible, and then threw grenades forward.
The sparking grenades with their "stabbing" fuses drew a perfect parabola in mid-air, bypassing the bayonet lancers in their front row.
Then he fell into the Visigoths' array.
"Damn" "This is a grenade" "Hurry up and get out of the way, it's about to explode."
Seeing explosives roaring in the air.
Many of the Visigoth's super-pikemen were a little panicked.
These people ignored the officers' loud shouts and dodged desperately to the left and right, just to get rid of these life-killing demonic weapons.
As a result, the most important thing formation of the super spearmen no longer exists.
"Fight back" Amidst the roar of grenades exploding one after another, the bayonet riflemen in the front row rushed over.
In the chaotic battle, the Visigoths, armed with super long guns and with limited mobility, were no match for Hereford's White Legion.
Or maybe those Visigothic super-pikemen followed military discipline, did not dodge, and continued to maintain the formation.
If that was the case, then those guys would end up even worse.
The grenades that explode at zero distance will kill a large number of super spearmen immediately.
In any case, with the support of the grenadiers, the bayonet riflemen reversed the situation in the shortest possible time.
Gained an advantage against the enemy's super spearmen "It seems that the situation on the front line has stabilized."
Seeing the infantry troops of the White Legion regaining the upper hand.
Victoria put down the telescope and said slightly enviously.
She had just observed her army, and the results were not ideal.
The British army was still fighting fiercely with the Visigoths, and only gained some slight advantages against the weak Asturian brigade in several directions.
"The Fusiliers don't seem to be as fragile as imagined," Victoria looked at William meaningfully, and then said.
"Any military unit can play its due role as long as the tactics are properly arranged."
William replied calmly: "However, compared to the fusiliers, the grenadiers are the key to close combat.
The most important point of this tactic is the grenadiers.
The front units can be changed to either super pikemen or fusiliers.
Even the obsolete Sword and Shield Troopers.
It can even be equipped with just a breastplate without any weapons.
Their only mission is to support the front and protect the grenadiers behind them from harm.
Grenadiers are responsible for killing and wounding the enemy, and grenadiers are also responsible for destroying the enemy's formation.
After losing part of the troops and having a chaotic formation, even if they are only equipped with a long sword or saber, they can defeat the enemy holding a super long gun. " "Indeed."

After thinking about it for a while, Victoria decided to believe William's statement.
Indeed, the intensive throwing of grenades behind them was more impressive than those bayonet charges.
In comparison, it is more important.
After the formation was destroyed, many of the surviving super spearmen gave up their spears and drew their swords from their waists to continue fighting.
at the same time.
While William was feeling proud that his tactics had worked and that he had once again misled Victoria's thinking, in the Visigothic army on the opposite side, the face of Count Warren, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, became very ugly.
For a moment, he attacked.
The first array of the two infantry regiments of the White Army had already suffered most of its casualties.
He was about to lose his fighting power.
"I can't believe that I can't gain an advantage in close combat.
The Hereford family is really scary.
If the 30,000 enemy troops fighting against me are all Hereford's White Legion, then this battle will definitely not be fought. " When he thought of this, Earl Warren felt his heart palpitate: "The Hereford family, William von Hereford.
What a terrible young man."
Thinking of this, he looked at the front lines on both sides again.
Visigoths, Asturians and Britons in a stalemate. and the declining Neo-Gothic Colonial Infantry.
"Fortunately, this is not the case.
The tactic of cavalry assault and infantry following closely behind is correct.
Only in this way can we minimize the enemy's firepower advantage and enhance our army's strength advantage.
Although we suffered a few setbacks, the enemy's The first line of defense seems to be nothing to worry about.
Next, when attacking the second line, we still have to use this tactic. " at the same time.
"Speak of it."
"Um" "Speaking of which, Britten's army has two cavalry regiments.
It really helped a lot."
William said calmly.
"Do you want to use the British cavalry troops to offset the enemy's cavalry advantage?"
Victoria asked.
"Well, almost."
William nodded: "The enemy has four cavalry regiments and some miscellaneous cavalry, a total of five cavalry regiments.
They invested two in advance, and more than half of the Visigoths suffered casualties. , and the two cavalry regiments of Asturias were almost wiped out, even if they lost their combat capabilities.
Then, the White Cavalry and the Colonial Cavalry were equivalent to one regiment, while the Britons had two.
Just about the same as the enemy's cavalry.
As long as these two cavalry units cancel each other out.
Then the enemy will not be able to use the previous tactics of dragging our army into close combat.
Our army that can take advantage of its firepower will win. " "I see."
After thinking about it for a moment, Victoria nodded.
Cavalry is different from infantry.
Especially in this era, when the so-called light cavalry is equivalent to "light lancers", each cavalry is equivalent to a knight, or reserve knight.
That is to say, it takes half a lifetime to train a guy, and then there is no place to replace him after he is killed.
In this case, any cavalry unit is the heart and soul of each commander.
Even with the financial resources and manpower of Bryton Company.
Consuming two regiments of light lancers in one go would also make Victoria feel painful.
"After this war, the Visigoths and Asturians must pay the price."
Victoria said almost through gritted teeth.
"but" "but" "It's nothing."
William thought for a moment, but in the end he didn't say the "but" thing.

If he could defeat the two light lancer regiments of his allies, William would also feel happy.
Don't forget that among the four armies participating in the war, the cavalry of the White Legion was the cheapest.
The cavalry of the White Legion are genuine saber cavalry.
All the members were nomads and herdsmen cavalry drawn from the eastern border area.
They were trained and then brought to the battlefield.
Compared with the expensive lancers of several other participating countries, these saber cavalry can be said to be extremely cheap, and this is especially true for the colonial cavalry of the New World.
Even if they are all dead, William will not feel heartbroken.
The only question is, do they really have the fighting power to die with their enemies?
Thinking about this problem, William looked at the battlefield ahead.
In this moment, the battlefield ahead has changed again.
The backbone, the first array of the Visigoths attacking the White Legion, had collapsed.
A large number of enemies were killed by grenades and bayonet rifles, and their bodies were scattered all over the field.
But at the same time, the White Legion also suffered more casualties.
The 1st Infantry Regiment itself had suffered some casualties in previous battles against the Count of Rochambeau.
In this part of the New World, the First Infantry Regiment had no possibility of replenishment.
In other words, the White Legion deployed less than 3,000 people in the first array.
These less than 3,000 people were divided into three fronts.
At present, the seven companies on the first front have suffered more than half of their casualties after suffering a round of enemy artillery bombardment, cavalry assault, and fighting with the second attacking infantry unit.
"More than five hundred people were lost."
William only felt heartbroken.
Although these soldiers killed twice or even three times as many enemies as they did, he still felt heartbroken. 160420oshow7:
