"The flanks are beyond reach. otbnkotgt On this front he had lost two and a half cavalry regiments, and more than forty companies of infantry.
Nearly seven thousand troops fell into disarray.
At the same time, the two regiments on the flanks were relaxed, and the disabled companies were temporarily unable to go to the battlefield again.
Calculating, more than 10,000 troops have lost their combat effectiveness.
In addition, if you want to break through the opponent's defense line composed of four infantry regiments, you will have to pay the price of at least three more infantry regiments losing their combat effectiveness.
But of course, what is more difficult to accept than the loss of troops is the setback in morale.
Horror, horror, horror.
Be it a general, an officer or a soldier.
The Visigothic and Asturian coalition forces could not accept this from top to bottom.
They had never heard of such a terrifying enemy, and they would never want to fight such an enemy.
"The loss of 15,000 people was compared to the killing of about 1,500 White Legions and four ordinary infantry regiments.
The gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves has further narrowed."
When he thought of this, Earl Warren became extremely anxious.
"Send the regiment of heroes, Earl."
It was at this time that such a voice came from Earl Warren's side.
Earl Warren turned his head and looked around, and found that at some point, the officer he hated, the guy named Leo, ran to him again.
The words just now were obviously what he said.
"Regiment of Honors?"
Earl Warren repeated what he said, and then began to calculate.
Yes, morale is low now, and they are obviously frightened by the combat effectiveness of the opponent's army.
In this case, elite troops should be sent forward to smash the enemy to pieces with a devastating action.
Only in this way can the morale of the military be restored.
"However, the Legion of Honor will definitely suffer heavy losses in this way."
Thinking of this, Earl Warren was a little unsure of his decision.
It would be better if his monarch was a wise monarch.
But there is no doubt that his monarch, Louis XVI, was a completely dim bastard.
If his Imperial Guards suffered too many losses, then even if Earl Warren won the war, he would probably end up with the same fate.
"But it's better than defeat, Earl."
Just when Earl Warren was hesitant, Leo spoke again.
"Of course, the statement of "defeat" made Earl Warren even more unhappy.
But at the same time, the talk of defeat also made Earl Warren determined.
At this moment, Earl Warren looked at Leo with a different expression.
Very complicated.
Yes, it's complicated.
What the young officer said still made people feel uncomfortable.
But at the same time, Earl Warren had to admit that what he said was not all whimsical or unreasonable as he thought before.
This guy is more talented than he thought.
He even said that he was more talented than himself.
"So" "It's best to put two corps of lords and two corps of secondary lords into the battle at once."
Just before Earl Warren wanted to speak, Leo expressed his opinion again: "Either don't do it, Either do your best.
The investment of one or two corps of veterans is completely different from the investment of four corps of veterans. " "You're right."
This time, Earl Warren had to publicly express that the other party was correct.
It's just that knowing how is one thing, doing it is another.
After a while, Earl Warren finally made up his mind and sent the troops of the four regiments to the battlefield.
To replace the front, four ordinary infantry regiments that were unable to attack.

"Look, what do I see?"
When the other party dispatched troops, William was also a little confused, but he soon understood the reason.
"Four regiments of heroes, send out all four regiments of heroes at once.
What a great courage."
Even William couldn't help but sigh like this.
It was no different than anything William had seen before.
The two regiments of the Legion are also elite troops equipped with sophisticated flintlocks, rifles, and their own cavalry companies.
Other than that, the equipment of the Secondary Legion does not look any different from that of the Legion.
Their differences are concentrated in their decorations, gold stars, ribbons and tassels.
The colors of the Legion of Honor are brighter than those of the Lesser Legion, and their number and length are also slightly better.
People can tell the difference between superior and inferior at a glance.
However, this makes no difference to the battle situation.
In fact, William didn't think the so-called Legion of Honor was very powerful in combat.
Just like when they faced Count Rochambeau before, the opponent also sent a group of heroes, but they were quickly defeated by William.
When they escaped, they didn't remember that they were Visigoth elites, Louis XVI's Praetorian Guards or something.
Their performance doesn't match their name at all.
However, thinking about it, this is natural.
The Visigoths spent too much time in Tenderland.
Since Louis XVI succeeded to the throne, he did not dare to challenge the powerful Britons in the north.
The Ostrogoths in the east were in civil war, and the Asturians in the south were their allies.
The strategic situation of the Visigoths was very good.
So much so that the Visigoths forgot how to fight.
Yes, perhaps when those regiments were first formed, they were all elite troops formed with elite soldiers and generals, equipped with the best weapons and equipment, and far exceeded the honor of ordinary troops.
But soon, these guys were soaked in the gentle countryside of Paris.
Not being on the battlefield for a long time, coupled with the capital's extravagance and the erosion of officialdom culture, have turned this army into a look-alike army that can only watch but cannot fight.
"Besides, there is another problem with these guys."
William thought in his heart: "These guys don't have bayonets."
Yes, these corps and secondary corps are "analogous to knights" in terms of social status.
They all wear swords.
In addition to swords, they are also equipped with daggers.
Some guys even learn to ride horses and lances.
In contrast, these guys were unwilling to use the super-long guns, which were considered inferior, and the rifle bayonets, which were similar to the super-long guns.
"So" William quickly thought of something.
Then a decision was made.
At the same time, the situation on the frontal battlefield changed again.
Although in William's view, Louis XVI's Praetorian Guards were like spoiled children and of no use.
But the Britons at the front were different.
They had heard more or less about the reputation of the Visigoth army from their predecessors, the veterans of their fathers' generation.
Knowing that the Visigoths' army was elite enough to compete with the Britons.
Among them, the Legion of Honor and the Secondary Legion are the best.
Thinking of these things and seeing the unfamiliar yet familiar flags, these soldiers were more or less nervous.
Morale also dropped a bit.
In addition, in the previous continuous battles, they also lost part of their troops.
Specifically William's Colonial Infantry.
Their morale was even lower.

This has shaken the entire front to a certain extent.
"Do you want to withdraw the troops?"
At this moment, Victoria was also a little nervous.
She couldn't help but make suggestions to William again: "At least, withdraw the colonial troops."
"No need."
William replied: "Just leave it to them for a while."
"What did you say?"
Victoria was surprised to hear what William said: "The enemy sent the strongest ace, and then you deliberately let the opponent down for a while, which will destroy our morale."
"Just fight back right away."
William interrupted Victoria: "Get the cavalry troops ready."
"cavalry unit" "Yes, all the cavalry troops."
William nodded: "Your two cavalry regiments, one of mine, all the Cherokee cavalry, and the colonial cavalry battalion.
I will use all the cavalry in the next attack.
Send them all out and defeat all the enemy’s heroic troops in one fell swoop.”
"Will this be successful?"
Victoria was still a little nervous: "The enemy is after all."
"Of course it can be successful."
William said while looking at the flank battlefield again.
At this moment, the enemy's two infantry regiments had been driven out of the shooting range of the hunters.
It looks like they won't launch any more attacks.
"Well, I changed my mind."
Seeing this scene, William smiled: "Keep a cavalry regiment.
Then send them to the flanks to go to the minefield layout.
They should know the layout of the minefield.
Just follow that and attack the enemy.
The troops on the flank will launch a charge.
I will mobilize artillery fire to help them."
"I hope you know what you are doing."
Seeing how relaxed William seemed, Victoria finally chose to believe what he said.
Although she still didn't understand, and she felt angry because she didn't understand.
"Of course, I am fighting for the chance of victory for our army.
If this plan succeeds, then maybe we don't have to waste time."
William said: "We can win.
That is, defeat this enemy. " "I hope so," Victoria replied.
At the same time, the situation at the front became favorable to the Visigoths and Asturians.
Speaking of which, the fighting style of the Legion of Honor is somewhat similar to that of the Hereford Infantry of the White Legion.
However, they were not equipped with grenades.
They used powerful volleys of firepower to attack and weaken the enemy's array, and then launched a charge.
These soldiers all have high swordsmanship simply because they have rich experience, high social status, and the Visigoths are willing to provide them with training facilities.
All means required.
For example, a good swordsmanship teacher, venue, training props, etc.
Therefore, their close combat capabilities are far stronger than those of ordinary soldiers.
Moreover, the Britons, who were weakened by volleys of muskets and unable to maintain their formation, were no match for them in melee combat.
"I was defeated, I was defeated so quickly," Earl Warren couldn't help but said loudly and happily.
That's it, four regiments of heroes and secondary regiments that went into the battlefield.

They quickly broke through the first array of the first line of defense.
A dozen or so incomplete British and colonial companies turned around and left the battlefield in a state of embarrassment.
After defeating them, the Legion of Honor and the Secondary Legion also reorganized their formations in the shortest possible time.
It seemed that the second array of Britons and colonial troops could not stop their advance.
It seems that the situation of the war has tilted towards the Visigoth and Asturian armies. 160420oshow7:
