Chapter 744 (1/2)
Although it is protected by a shield, a shield is not omnipotent.
A shield that is only half a man's height can only protect the upper body, but it can't protect the lower body.
Many soldiers were shot in their feet by arrows, fell to the ground and lost their combat effectiveness.
Because the surrounding light was not bright, some soldiers who fell to the ground were sadly trampled to death by their comrades who did not see a man at their feet.
At the same time, although the Michael order has strong discipline, it is limited by the personal quality of the generals, which makes the discipline of the Michael order also have great limitations.
That is, soldiers depend on generals.
Under the command of generals, they can become elite teachers who obey orders and prohibitions.
But without the command of generals, their discipline will be greatly reduced.
In the current landing battle, this limitation of the discipline of the Michael Knights has also been vividly demonstrated.
”Squadron leader! Squadron leader! ”
”The squadron leader is dead!”
”Squadron leader!”
……
The 8th squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Army - this unit is on the same transport ship as darina's unit.
Therefore, this squadron was also very close to Darlene's forces when the landing was launched.
Just after breaking free from the shallow water, the squadron leader of this squadron was unfortunately hit by a cold arrow and killed on the spot.
After witnessing the death of their own officer, the soldiers of this squadron immediately panicked and became at a loss.
The original tight formation immediately became scattered.
Fortunately, Lindsay did it in time.
”Comrades in arms of the 8th squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Army! Don't panic! ” Lindsay shouted at them, ”I'm the squadron leader of the 1st squadron of the 17th brigade of the 4th Army - Lindsay! You listen to me now! Don't panic! Don't rush! ”
After seeing a new general in charge of commanding them, the soldiers of the squadron immediately felt at ease, and the original scattered formation became tight again.
……
Whoosh!
Boom!
Just then, the catapult that had not hit any transport ship since just now finally made a contribution.
A boulder rising from the catapult hit a transport ship still heading for the shoal.
For a moment, wood chips were splashed and plasma was flying.
Before landing, all three squadrons on the transport ship were destroyed.
Seeing that the catapult finally made a contribution, a series of cheers broke out in the defense line at the beach.
Maybe it's because the morale has been improved. The arrow rain from the defense seems to have become more dense.
……
……
The sea area where the main force of the order of Michael is located.
”The landing of the vanguard troops was frustrated and has not yet broken through the enemy's line of defense.”
After hearing this simple report from the herald, Willie's face sank in an instant.
”The combat effectiveness of the beach garrison exceeded our expectations...” Willie said in a deep voice.
Willie took out his pocket watch.
4:29 - it's now time.
——Can't wait any longer
Willie whispered silently in his heart.
It's almost dawn now. The later they win the blue water port, the more unfavorable it will be to them.
”Send 3000 more soldiers to support the front line!” Willie shouted, ”six o'clock! Before 6 o'clock, take the blue water port! ”
