《1855 American Tycoon》Chapter 82: A Miracle With Great Strength (part 3)

Clyde stood up quickly, and at the same time raised his gun, aiming at the Austrian in front of him, the distance between them was so close that he could see the Austrian's face And the bean-sized beads of sweat on that face that were pale and distorted with fear.
"Pray to God!" Clyde said to himself, continuing to point the gun at the poor fellow. That guy was in a panic trying to load the gun in his hand. With shaking hands, he tried hard to press the gunpowder with a cleaning rod, but he just couldn't put the cleaning rod at the muzzle of the gun.
"Ready!" came the drawn-out voice of Captain Koller, and Clyde firmly aimed his gun at the sweaty Austrian.
"Get ready!" The Austrian suddenly dropped his gun, turned around, and wanted to run, but was blocked by the people behind and couldn't squeeze through for a while. Claude's gun was still ruthlessly aimed at the guy's vest.
"Fire!" "Bang!"
The gunshots rang out. "What a beautiful volley, all the rifles almost made a sound." Claude thought as he quickly put down the rifle, the butt of the gun rested on the ground, and at the same time, he pulled the gun from the bayonet holster hanging around his waist. Inside he took out a bayonet. Insert it into the barrel of the rifle.
"All bayonets..." The company commander's voice was drawn out as if it had emerged from the grave of the last century, "... Charge!"
"The glory of Rome!" Claude yelled, listening to the bayonet, rushing forward through the fog of the battlefield created by their salvo just now.
The volley just now was like peeling an onion, and almost wiped out the soldiers in the first row of the Austrians. The guy who was so flustered in front of Clyde's gun finally calmed down. Like the others, he landed silently on foreign soil, and the blood that spewed from his body stained the land around him red.
The Austrians in the second row and the third row stared at this scene dumbfounded. They trembled all over and opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't make any sound. At this time, a scene that they will never forget appeared: from behind the heavy white smoke mist, there was a roar, and then, one after another, enemies with bayonet-loaded rifles passed through the mist—— Think of them like the legendary man-eating monsters and goblins.
In the blink of an eye, these monsters rushed into their queue. Most of the soldiers in the first row didn't even have time to put their bayonets on their rifles at all, and even if they did, they didn't have time to fight bayonets The enemy's bayonet stabbed them in the chest. Almost in the blink of an eye, countless people fell screaming in pain. Bayonet battles are always short-lived, because generally, in such battles, one side will quickly collapse. Under the desperate bayonet assault of the Sardinians, the Austrians who hadn't taken Dali pills collapsed. The remaining people shouted in horror, threw their guns on the ground, turned, and ran away. Some people simply raised their hands high and fell to their knees. But those Sardinians who were red-eyed didn't care about this, they stabbed them with bayonets and knocked them to the ground. As for those who ran away, although they ran fast, the Sardinians chased him even faster, and they caught up with him in a blink of an eye, and then easily bayoneted... On the other side of the battle, the same situation was almost the same. Simultaneously.

The changes in the situation on the battlefield stunned both sides commanding the battle. King Emmanuel II stood on the high ground and said to the guards beside him, "Come here." The guards came over. The king suddenly reached out and punched the guard's arm violently, and said, "It's wrong because I don't feel any pain at all."
"Your Majesty, that's because I was the one who was beaten." The guard said.
"I know," said King Emmanuel II, "I wonder why my hand doesn't hurt at all?"
...
"This... this... this... how is this possible? This is the Sardinian army?" General Giule felt like he was in a dream, "How could the Sardinians have such an elite army? No, this is not a Sardinian, it must be a foreigner wearing a Sardinian military uniform. By the way, this kind of gun does not shoot, it goes straight to your nose, and then puts a gun on your nose and shoots a volley, and then the tactic of bayonet charge is so familiar?"
Then a terrible term came out of the general's mind, "British army! They must be the British army! Only those British savages like to play this trick! Fortunately, this is just a tentative attack."
"General, should we send cavalry to respond so that those soldiers can run back safely." Another officer asked.
"Okay." General Giule thought for a while, and replied: "Leonto, you and Dulles take your regiment to meet them, let the enemy shrink back, and don't attack rashly!"
"We know." The officer saluted the general and rode away.
...
"It's beautiful! I didn't expect that the effect of Daliwan would be so good. This is a 'miracle of strength'! It's a pity that we put the most elite troops behind, otherwise, maybe we have a chance, here The army that defeated Austria in World War I." Emmanuel II thought so.
At this time, the Austrian cavalry appeared on the battlefield. The situation on the battlefield is chaotic at this time, the Austrians are running desperately, and the Sardinians are chasing desperately. After the stabbing, of course, the defeated Austrians have no formation at all, but the Sardinians have already formed their formation. Forgot everything. After all, "Dali Pill" can make these "cannon fodder" full of courage, and can also make their thinking speed a little bit faster, but it can't give them combat experience and corresponding tactical accomplishment.
If these screaming Sardinians are British as General Giule feared, their first reaction when seeing cavalry appear on the battlefield will be to organize their formation and form a hollow phalanx against the cavalry. However, these guys are just recruits who have been trained for a few months and have never been on the battlefield before. In addition, during the frenzied pursuit, they have already chased the formation into chaos. (Because of the lack of training time, in the past few months of training, they have not trained at all about the pursuit and what to do after being counterattacked by enemy cavalry during the pursuit.) Therefore, after seeing the enemy cavalry charge After coming over, the brains of these guys froze all of a sudden.

The team commander shouted to make the soldiers regroup, but the soldiers couldn't find where their squad leader was, and of course, the squad leader couldn't find the soldiers either. As a result, until the Austrian cavalry rushed forward, the Sardinians still did not arrange their formation. Seeing an opportunity, the Austrian cavalry certainly would not let go of the opportunity.
"Draw out your sword and charge!" Captain Leonto drew out his sword and shouted. The cavalry quickly formed two rows of dense shock formations and rushed toward the Sardinians whose formation was still in chaos.
When the infantry formed a strict hollow phalanx, the powerful defense and attack power of the phalanx would make the cavalry terrified. Even the most powerful cuirassiers are invincible in the face of such an opponent, and even Emperor Napoleon's old guards failed to break through the hollow phalanx of the Iron Duke's infantry.
However, if the infantry fails to organize an effective formation, they will be almost no different from lambs to be slaughtered when facing the impact of the cavalry. Bravery can stop it.
"Quick! Let our cavalry go and check it out! Otherwise, none of these guys will come back!" Emmanuel II, who was so frightened, quickly issued an order.
Leonto led the cavalry regiment straight into the chaotic queue of Sardinians. A Sardinian soldier raised his bayonet to meet him as if he wanted to fight him desperately, but before Leon Tor moved at him, and a cavalryman who swept past him chopped off his head with a flat saber that was like mowing grass.
When the first row of cavalry rushed through the Sardinian formation, there were only scattered Sardinian soldiers standing there on the route they passed, and these people were quickly rushed by The second row of cavalry who came over and fell to the ground.
...
When the Austrian cavalry quickly defeated the Sardinian infantry with a devastating offensive, General Giule, who was watching the battle from a distance, felt that the world was crazy.
"How is this possible? How is this possible!" General Giule stared dumbfounded at the distant battlefield. Yes, how is this possible? How could a well-disciplined elite division that can withstand round after round of shooting, approaching a distance of 25 meters, and then conducting salvos and bayonet charges behave in such a chaotic manner? , How could it have taken so long to get the formation right, and then be easily defeated by the cavalry? Giule wanted to call God out of heaven and ask him, are you crazy or am I crazy?
However, General Giulai decided that the serious philosophical question of whether God is crazy or he is crazy can be discussed after the war. Now he must take the opportunity to regain control of the situation-the Sardinian cavalry was also dispatched, Can these Sardinians fight? Will it be like the infantry ten minutes ago, or the same infantry now?
"Go and send orders to let Leonto and Dulles pay attention to the Sardinian cavalry and stop attacking this infantry. As long as the Sardinian cavalry has no intention of attacking actively, don't fight with them. Oh, let them catch a few When the captive returns, I will personally interrogate him!"
...
The Sardinian cavalry did not take the initiative to attack, and King Emmanuel II did not intend to spend his best and most valuable cavalry in this battle that was not decisive. So they were just keeping the Austrians at bay. Of course, if the Austrian cavalry dared to continue to attack the infantry, they would not stand idly by. The physical strength of cavalry horses is limited, and charging consumes a lot of horsepowers. Moreover, when the infantry is attacked, the formation is also unavoidable. If the Austrian cavalry continues to charge, then the Sardinian cavalry only needs to give them a shot from the side when they have just completed a charge and have not had time to regroup. With the dual advantages of formation and horsepower, the result will be better Making those Austrians unforgettable.
The cavalry stopped, and the collapsed infantry of the Austrians ran back long ago. Under the protection of their cavalry, the remaining cannon fodder in Sardinia also retreated safely. At this time, the Austrian army began to retreat slowly. The battle ahead was full of weird and difficult problems, which made General Giule murmur. He decided to stabilize first and learn more about the situation before talking.
For King Emmanuel II, the goal of this battle has been achieved. Although he did not win, and even the casualty ratio has no advantage, (too many people were killed by the Austrian cavalry later), The First World War at least showed that his army can fight and is worth investing in. He also needs to stabilize now, so that those investors who are interested in investing can rush to make additional investments. So Sardinia's troops began to retreat slowly, and the day's battle ended in such a vague way.
