Alien Empire Total War

March 18, 1752.

Under the order of the General Staff, the 1st Cavalry Division headed north along the flat stone road and entered the Ankerton region.

As the capital of the kingdom and the republic, the Ankerton region has always been shown as a prosperous and prosperous image, but the two consecutive wars that broke out in the past two years have greatly affected the economy of this region. The town is crowded with people from the capital and Abandoned corpses and some **** can be seen everywhere on the road in the countryside to hide from the civilians who have escaped from the war.

Compared with last year's great revolution, this rebellion is even more destructive. In last year's war, many people got weapons. They usually couldn't do anything under the pressure of the law. Then he took out his weapon and went out to do evil, and shot at the enemy who had been evil in the past.

There have also been cases of large-scale gunmen looting the rich manor in the countryside. The rich manor that is protected by walls and certain guards is attacked, not to mention the unprotected civilians. They can only flee to safer towns. Relatives and friends, helpless, can only sleep on the street in this cold weather, freezing to death.

Neither the noble army nor the National Assembly have the heart to manage the chaos in the region. They put all their hearts on the capital in the fierce battle. The National Assembly is passively defending, and at the same time pinning its hopes on the sixth coming to Ankerton. Teacher, it seems that as long as the regular army enters the city, all problems can be solved easily.

And the fact seems to be the case. The noble army in Ankerton City is mainly composed of private soldiers of the nobles, the surrendered capital garrison and some armed citizens. Their combat effectiveness is not strong. Only get crushed in battle.

However, the nobles will not be killed. After they learned the news that the 6th Division was heading south, they intensified their offensive on the streets controlled by the National Assembly, and sent messengers to the south to ask for help from Charles – one step ahead of the 6th Division. The 1st Cavalry Division of the Ankerton Region became their hope.

The National Assembly also learned about the entry of the 1st Cavalry Division at almost the same time. Sandy sent a messenger to the north to ask for the support of the Second Army and the Third Army to the south. Let the letter fail to get out.

His "treason" behavior was not known to others, and the MPs hiding in the safe parliament building were still waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Set up anti-cavalry roadblocks.

In general, the deputies are not too worried about the 1st Cavalry Division who came first. The cavalry can only exert its maximum combat effectiveness in a wide field. If it is in a narrow and complicated city, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will only be reduced limit.

Of course, the cavalry can also give up the horse to fight on foot, but that only applies to the dragoons equipped with muskets, such as the hussars and lancers that make up the 1st cavalry division, or let them ride on horseback to exert the greatest combat effectiveness ...

However, to the surprise of the National Assembly and everyone, this cavalry division composed of nearly 3,000 cavalrymen did not enter the city of Ankerton directly, but first suppressed a group of gunmen in the Ankerton region. The chaotic army, and then went around the city to the northwest.

No one knew what the purpose of the cavalry division was until they were stationed in a village northwest of Ankerton, and no one among the councillors became aware of the other's purpose - the village was far from the main road leading to the capital. The road is not far, and the sixth division, which is still coming here, is marching along this road.

It seems that this cavalry division wants to stop its reinforcements!

Worse news came one after another. The Eighth Division of the enemy had already approached the Ankerton Region. If they were looking at their current speed, they would be able to reach Ankerton City within a week at the earliest, and at the same time they were rushing this way. Although the 6th Division arrived in less than five days, with the enemy's 1st Cavalry Division standing in the way, no one knew when they would arrive.

But don't underestimate the cavalry division. The northern area of ​​the Ankerton region is a large and wide plain. The cavalry can exert the greatest combat effectiveness in fighting here. Even if the infantry can list the anti-cavalry hollow phalanx to meet, but this The phalanx cannot be moved, and it is impossible for them to stand in a phalanx forever.

In other words, this cavalry division does not need to go into battle at all. They only need to set up a battle in the distance and stare at the infantry of the sixth division on the march, which can scare the latter from continuing to march - even if the sixth division The commander of the division was certain that the cavalry would not take the initiative to attack~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In order to prevent this, the march would be slowed down, so that the journey that originally took less than five days was abruptly delayed to a week.

This is a bright conspiracy!

Although the councilors knew the intentions of the "rebels", they could not do anything about it. They could only watch the Sixth Division entering the Ankerton Region be coerced by the cavalry and slow down their marching speed.

At the same time, the war in the province of Padre ignited again. In order to prevent the enemy from getting news and returning to the Ankerton region, the 7th Division, under the command of Hernán Parker, took the initiative to attack the 4th and 4th Divisions heading south. Brigade, the 7th Division had occupied Ancaros, the second largest city in the Padre province, and the two sides then fought fiercely around the city.

Both sides are elite divisions who have experienced hundreds of battles, but the seventh division, which is the disadvantaged, has always maintained a high morale under the blessing of the system. They also used more advanced paper-wrapped bullets, and the reloading speed and the opposite also depended on experience. Compared with the National Assembly troops who are used to loading ammunition, it is simply more than one Wallace.

Therefore, when fighting with the seventh division, the officers and soldiers of the fourth division and the fourth brigade of the enemy army were shocked to find that although the number of enemy troops fighting with them was smaller than them, their firepower was comparable to them, and even faintly Has the momentum to suppress them?

During the battle, many sharp-eyed soldiers discovered the white strips that the soldiers of the 7th Division took out of the ammunition bag when they were reloading, which made them speculate in their hearts. The division commander and the brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade had some guesses in their hearts.

They are not fools. The faster reloading speed of the enemy must have something to do with this white bar. If they can figure out what that thing is, it will definitely be of great help to the next battle.
