While shouting loudly, the soldiers of the Hereford family took action first, and their attack method was the grenade that all enemies of the Hereford family feared.
After a round of grenades was thrown, a large number of New Army soldiers were blown into the sky in a violent explosion.
Cast-iron grenade fragments were inserted into the bodies of these unlucky guys, and the shock waves and concussions of the explosion shattered these guys. of internal organs. otbnkotgt Among this series of explosions, the most eye-catching ones were the combat engineers equipped with unstable explosives.
In one hand he holds a sharp-edged engineer shovel that looks like a knife and an axe, and in the other hand he holds an explosive that can scare people to death.
There are also some combat engineers who use bolts that can shoot at close range, but have greater lethality and range.
Combat engineers may not be of much use in queuing to kill, but they can display quite excellent combat effectiveness in close range and hand-to-hand combat.
At least, the companies they threw were as if they had encountered a hurricane or a natural disaster, and the people were like pieces of paper, blown into the sky by the strong explosion.
Or fried to a pulp.
For a time, the sound comparable to the explosion of a heavy bomb shocked both the enemy and ourselves.
It was just a few inconspicuous ones, but they wiped out several companies in an instant.
This kind of fighting ability is really too bad.
"If it's not too unstable, forget it, there's no use saying this now."
William sighed secretly in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, the Hereford family troops were seen charging wildly.
The combat engineers who rushed at the front pulled the triggers very carelessly, and then fired a large amount of shotgun.
Then they saw the enemy infantry on the opposite side falling in batches.
One or two, the whole body is like a honeycomb.
If you open their breastplates and look at them, you can see that their entire bodies have been shot to pieces.
Just like a rotten tomato.
Blood flowed freely from their wounds.
In an instant, the war machine and the New Army troops were weakened by several layers of strength.
Suffering from strong explosions and sudden large-caliber attacks, the morale of the new Ottoman army on the opposite side was slightly depressed.
William always felt that if an ordinary army encountered such a sudden and unprepared attack, it would have collapsed long ago.
Don't forget that in the previous line battles where they were shot and killed, they had already lost nearly half, or more than half, of their troops.
However, even in this situation, these bastards were still able to level their bayonets and launch a charge.
This made William couldn't help but sigh, these bastards are really not human anymore.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
These war machines may still be considered physiologically human.
But after being brutally trained by the dark elves, they are more psychologically inclined to machines.
These guys are fearless.
Many people believe that beast is a more appropriate name and description.
But actually the troops.
Beasts also have wisdom, and beasts also know fear.
Especially those large predators.
They must ensure their physical health.
Because they have no place to see a doctor.
Once they face prey that is too powerful, resists too fiercely, or thinks they have no strength to defeat, they will never take action.
Because even if you can defeat the opponent.
It’s not worth getting injured for this.
Therefore, the beast knows how to advance and retreat.
If it were a beast, facing such a strong blow from the Hereford family army and combat engineers, I am afraid that it would have already collapsed and could no longer collapse.
But machines don't.
Unless it is destroyed, the machine will continue to run and work forever, never stopping.
In this way, the New Army troops, whose strength was further depleted, rushed together with the Hereford family's guards in one breath.
Both sides held their bayonets and fought as hard as if the other was their father-killing enemy.

Most guys forget to defend, block, or provoke.
These guys completely ignored the opponent's straight thrusting movements that were the same as theirs.
The soldiers from both sides stabbed directly into each other's chest.
When breaking through the breastplate, the three-edged bayonet with armor-breaking effect, coupled with the charging effect, was enough to cause fatal injuries.
Of course, there are also some guys who are not well trained, and the bayonet slips on the opponent's chest, so it does not penetrate.
But his enemies will not be as merciful as he is.
The guy who made the mistake sadly lost his life.
However, this is only natural.
After an initial charge that left hundreds of soldiers dead.
The armies of both sides engaged in large-scale, fierce, hand-to-hand combat, but the efficiency was much worse than the previous shooting.
In this process, the equipped breastplate has better effects and functions.
Without the speed bonus of charging, only a handful of the strongest warriors can pierce the opponent's breastplate in a flat thrust.
In other words, most people's most important trunk parts, most important organs, and fatal places are all safe.
In the ensuing battle, most people targeted the fatal spots such as the head, face, and neck.
However, these places are small and pierce from bottom to top, making them more susceptible to condescending defense.
After being convinced that the opponent could not be defeated in a short period of time, most of the soldiers' attacks became both offensive and defensive.
This makes combat slower and more efficient.
"Sure enough, in this case, attacking the thighs and calves first is the most correct choice."
William thought in his heart while watching the battle on the opposite side.
"Of course, below the waist, the groin is also a focus.
Although it is a bit dirty, the essence of war is to use all possible means.
Perhaps after this, bayonet technique can increase training to attack this area, as well as the inner thigh and crotch.
These are also The fatal part."
Thinking of this, William began to think about defense again: "There should be no problem with bayonet defense.
Armor should still be considered.
A breastplate can greatly improve the survivability of soldiers.
Targeting the arteries of the thighs and calves, although it is also It can cause the opponent to lose a lot of blood and die.
But it still takes several minutes to wait for this process.
On the battlefield, even a moment's mistake can cause irreparable and terrible consequences, so a few minutes is really too long.
The purpose of attacking the legs is not to be fatal, but to reduce the enemy's speed and morale through pain and blood loss.
It is also important to understand this.
So when it comes to armor, maybe you can add skirt armor to protect the crotch.
In that case, it would be half plate armor.
So how about simply restoring three-quarters of the plate armor on the thighs, calves and feet, or even the whole body of plate armor?
But in that case, the physical demands on the soldiers would be even higher.
"William thought so in his heart.
In addition to the physical requirements, a set of full-body plate armor also costs a lot.
There is a lot of money, labor, and raw materials.
William is still considering whether to revive plate armor in order to reduce some attacks.
"Perhaps we can make some half-body plate armor first and equip them with more powerful elite troops.
We can test them on the battlefield.
Well, that's it."
William thought so in his heart.
Although the battle on the front line was very fierce, his mind was obviously not focused on it.
Instead, he began to think about the Hereford family's new army after the battle was over, or even after the war was over.

How should reform be carried out.
Especially in the battle with the dark elves, cold weapons are particularly important because the skills and hand-to-hand combat effectiveness of those dark elves are obviously much higher than the Hereford family's guards.
If these guys were to continue fighting, the elite troops of the Hereford family would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
"But of course, in comparison, I would rather those dark elves not choose close combat, but engage in line combat with us."
William thought in his heart.
But when I think about it, it seems impossible.
After all, the dark elves have an advantage in this regard.
No matter how you think about it, these guys will not use their strengths to avoid their weaknesses.
"However, we won't just exploit our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.
Therefore, how the specific battle should be arranged and what tactics should be adopted still depend on the battlefield conditions."
William thought in his heart. while looking at the front line.
At the same time that William was thinking this, the battle on the opposite side had come to an end.
In bayonet battles and cold weapon battles, they are still war machines.
These new army soldiers who have received strict training are stronger.
However, the Hereford family's army is not without its advantages.
Their advantage lies in combat engineers.
These combat engineers equipped with this kind of big killer, as well as these weapons suitable for close combat with engineer shovels, can often withstand twice, three times, or even more enemy troops, and even win in battle.
With the support of these guys, especially the ones thrown by grenades, the new army's war machine troops suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that the melee combat did not achieve the excellent tactical effect as I imagined.
The commander of the New Army Corps thought for a moment, and then ordered the frontline troops to retreat.
Seeing the opponent retreating, the Hereford family army did not pursue it.
After all, the opponent's superb hand-to-hand combat skills and bayonet skills still make the Hereford family fearful.
The troops of the Hereford family also retreated to rest and regroup.
The two sides once again switched to the second-line reserve team, and then continued to shoot in line as before.
It has only been an hour since the exchange of fire between the two sides, but the two sides have changed a total of three batches of troops.
The New Army lost a total of forty-three companies and nearly four thousand soldiers were killed or wounded.
The army of 6,000 men lost combat effectiveness.
In contrast, the Hereford family army lost thirty-one companies, suffered more than 2,500 casualties, and the army of more than 4,000 people lost its combat effectiveness.
All this was accomplished in less than an hour.
This proves one thing, that is, the current state of the new army kills people very quickly and has very strong attack power, and it dies just as quickly. 160420oshow7:
