"Huh huh huh, hahahahahaha" Seeing the Hereford family's position fell into a mess, all the forts that seemed to be strong collapsed and were smashed. otbnkotgt Seeing all this, the female Sultan Fatima couldn't help but laugh very happily, very happily.
She intentionally ignored the fact that her artillery position was being ravaged by the Hereford family's artillery.
Just seeing the effectiveness of these giant artillery.
At the same time, she was a little arbitrary, or deceived herself into thinking that she had achieved a certain degree of success.
However, such success does not mean much to be honest.
Although these sixty-four-pound cannons are amazingly powerful, at least in the eyes of the dark elves, they are so powerful.
But their launch speed is too slow.
Several hours of artillery attacks only destroyed a few forts, causing dozens of deaths and more than two hundred soldiers being injured to varying degrees.
If the war continues like this, it may not stop until this time next year.
Thinking of this, the smile of female Sultan Fatima gradually faded, and some discomfort and some hesitation appeared.
However, these hesitations disappeared only for a moment.
Then the female sultan Fatima made a prompt decision, or rather gave the order without hesitation.
The army of dark elves quickly pressed on a reorganized legion as a combat force and launched an attack on the defense line of the Hereford Family Expeditionary Force.
At the beginning, Sultan Fatima still did not go all out.
What she sent out was not the Dark Elf Guards or the new war machine army.
It's just a reformed army regiment that has been reorganized and equipped with some flintlocks and bayonets.
Of course, although it is "just" the reform of the Army Corps, if anyone looks down on this Corps and these armies, they will definitely suffer a big loss.
The combat effectiveness of these guys may not be as elite as Fatima's elite, but they are still regular troops, still receive rigorous training, and have sufficient experience.
Maybe their morale is a little low.
However, their discipline and their recently strengthened weapons and equipment can more or less make up for this problem.
What matters more is the numbers.
Because of the difficulty in training, the Dark Elf Guards only have 15,000 men per legion at full strength.
The New Army has slightly more legions, but generally no more than 20,000 people.
As for the Army Corps.
Each of these legions, defined as high-level cannon fodder, will have a strength of more than 20,000.
Individual overstaffing can even reach 30,000 people It seems that now, the legion that Fatima issued the attack order is a clearly overstaffed legion.
A total of 26,000 army infantrymen, in strict accordance with military drills, formed a dense and neat array and moved forward.
A regiment, an infantry regiment, and an infantry company marched step by step in order to the drumbeat of military musicians.
These guys have clear flags, well-equipped equipment, and high morale.
Behind them are nearly 200,000 reinforcements, as well as the self-proclaimed assistance of the best artillery force in the world.
They are fearless.
Such an army moved forward little by little, gradually entering the range of the Hereford family's artillery.
However, the Hereford family's artillery did not fire at the first time.
Only after the guys were almost within rifle range did William wave his hand slightly.
Then, the firepower burst out.
Nearly two hundred artillery pieces were fired immediately.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers armed with matchlocks and flintlock guns ran out from the cannon holes, then jumped out of the trenches and stood in front of the slightly damaged parapet.
Amid the roar of artillery, the Army Corps troops continued to move forward.
Broken limbs and arms were constantly being blasted into the sky, and people were constantly screaming and falling to the ground.
But these people still moved forward at a leisurely pace.
If it were not for the fact that the morale of these guys was a little lower and their weapons and equipment were a little worse, even William would not be able to help but admire the eliteness of these guys.
After carrying the artillery bombardment, he walked to the front of the Hereford family's expeditionary force array.
These soldiers calmly raised their muskets from a distance of fifty meters, and then pulled the triggers.
The soldiers who had not changed their uniforms were still moving forward calmly.
The two sides entered into a tactic of lining up and shooting each other with bullets.

Hereford's troops were protected by parapets.
However, the weapons and equipment are a bit messy.
But then again, the opponent's weapons and equipment are actually about the same as those of the Hereford family expeditionary force.
So overall, the Hereford family army still has a slight advantage.
However, this advantage is not obvious.
The two sides were tense and fierce, but the killings were actually not too many.
They shot and killed with muskets.
A large number of bullets are fired every minute and every second, and people are killed by such bullets every minute and second.
The huge amount of gunpowder smoke almost made people choke.
After shooting each other like this.
Both sides realized that the other party's fighting strength was tenacious, and the efficiency of shooting at each other was actually unsatisfactory.
So, after the order was given, the loss was slightly more than course, mainly due to the artillery bombardment of the Hereford family, some of the army regiments with heavy losses launched a charge.
Led by fusiliers holding bayonets, there were also a large number of warriors equipped with halberds.
In addition, there were also many warriors holding scimitars and round shields.
If these professional melee soldiers fought alone, they would even A bit more powerful than the Hereford family's musketeers.
Only, this is actually of little use.
Because those facing them were also a group of warriors who were proficient in hand-to-hand combat.
The backbone of the Hereford family is composed of the snake-oil-like Cossack army.
Capable of performing multiple tasks such as infantry, cavalry, mounted archers and skirmishers, the Cossack army is best at hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons.
At the same time, most of these Cossack brigades were organized in the Cuman-Kipchak steppes.
In these places, William's influence and logistics were still adequate.
So most of these Cossacks were equipped with breastplates.
A set of breastplates, a steel saber, plus Cossack benefits.
This formed a rather powerful physical fighting force.
If we only talk about hand-to-hand combat on foot, these Cossacks can even compare with regular steppe legionnaires.
After all, the latter are professional cavalry.
In front of the various fronts composed of Cossack troops, the opponent cannot be said to have suffered a bloody blow, but it can also be said to have suffered heavy losses.
The corpses were piled up from the ground, then folded into lines, and fell to the ground to be trampled by people.
This is how the later warriors stepped on the corpses of their predecessors and continued to fight.
The Cossacks' defense line was relatively strong.
The Hereford family's regular army's defense line was the same.
The two sides were in a stalemate on the front line.
William regretted it very much.
If he had known that this would happen, he would naturally have brought some more lightweight organ guns and small artillery to increase the infantry firepower on the front line.
Even if this is not the case, it would be good to bring more wooden handle grenades.
Using these weapons can definitely effectively attack enemy infantry units.
It's just a pity that he didn't bring anything with him, and it won't help to think twice now.
All that had to be done now was to fill the gap with the blood and corpses of the soldiers.
The war went on like this.
The Hereford family's battle line appeared to be shaky several times, but it was quickly filled with more reserve troops.
At the same time, the Guards Cavalry, who were supervising the battle team, did not hesitate to use their sabers to slaughter those whose morale had collapsed, thinking Guys trying to escape.
This made William very dissatisfied.
He hadn't seen such a bad war pattern in a long time.
On the contrary, the female sultan Fatima felt very satisfied.
Because this was like the war she knew.

In a few hours, the war went on from morning to noon, and then from noon to afternoon.
An adapted legion of the female sultan consumed less than half of its troops, more of its morale, and almost all of its desire to fight in a whole day of fighting.
Several times they came close to breaking through the lines of the Hereford Expedition.
Only to be beaten back by the Hereford family in the end.
On several occasions, they were pushed back by the Hereford family's counterattacks.
The whole army almost collapsed.
But in the end, that didn't actually happen.
The war remains at a stalemate, and the war continues like this.
It was not until night fell that the tired soldiers on both sides returned to their respective camps and lines with a staggering pace to rest and recuperate.
And waiting for another fight at dawn.
The war is over for now.
William pondered his next tactics and considered whether to hold a cavalry battle.
At the same time, William also strengthened his precautions against night attacks.
At the same time, the dark elves were celebrating.
Although, in fact, the attack failed.
But it made the dark elves aware of the hope.
Although defeated.
But it was not the elite army of the dark elves that was defeated, it was just a group of insignificant human soldiers.
Although they were defeated, they caused effective damage to the Hereford family's army.
Although the exchange ratio was a bit ugly, it would not reach the embarrassing level of ten to one or even higher like before.
All this proves one thing, that is, this war can be won.
The Hereford army was not invincible.
They were able to win a war against William von Hereford.
There is nothing more exciting in the world. 160420oshow7:
