C2955 Medieval Legion Tactics (1/2)

Xiao Letian's plan was completely exposed. This was a battle of attrition tactics, they were too lazy to kill anyone from the beginning to the end. They wanted to make use of the speed advantage of their horses to bully these infantry soldiers who depended on the eleventh route.

The cavalry of the various Chinese armies were like a windmill as they took turns to attack. Every time they got within four or five hundred meters, they would turn around and retreat, leaving behind the French National Guard soldiers who were eating the dust on the spot.

Every time they charged, more than a thousand French troops would be mobilized to adjust the formation. This kind of adjustment was a disaster for the untrained militia.

But it is not enough to not adjust. Who knows if the Chinese will turn feint into actual attack? If he was unable to react in time and allowed these cavalry soldiers to find a flaw, he was afraid that he would be able to tear apart their defensive line with a single breakthrough.

Time passed second by second. This kind of feint formation continued until one o'clock in the afternoon. At this moment, all the French soldiers were thirsty and hungry, and their throats seemed to be emitting smoke.

The twenty thousand strong army had already begun to spread out. Each and every pea rot like formation spread out across the farmland and the plains. From afar, it looked like there was quite a bit of momentum.

However, these troops had to face the provocation from the cavalry again and again, and thousands of French soldiers were exhausted from each feint.

Fu Lankeer flew into a rage, ”Despicable invaders, these Chinese are shameless!”

”The decisive battle … The decisive battle! A decisive battle like that of a warrior, why do you have to circle around like a coward? ”

De Lekelvzi's face was ashen, ”We underestimated our enemies, we underestimated them too much, or it could be said that we simply do not know how to fight … I originally thought that I could easily expel these invaders with a ten-fold army strength, but … ”

The upper echelons of the entire left wing had been miscalculated from the very beginning. These leaders who possessed revolutionary enthusiasm lacked basic military common sense.

Of course, some of them had received military training, but who could they compete with?

Maybe they had more skills than the Paris garrison and the police, but compared to the Chinese special forces, these people were not even worthy of carrying shoes.

The National Guard had mispositioned themselves from the very beginning. They were most likely to rely on the complicated Paris City for their brutal street fighting.

These people are enthusiastic and courageous, but lack formal training... Therefore, they were not qualified to fight in a large-scale battle against an army of the wilderness!

Only by putting them in the complex and chaotic city of Paris could their fighting power be guaranteed!

Or perhaps it was caused by his arrogance. Perhaps it was the three hundred thousand man spear that gave them a strong false impression that they were unable to see through their weaknesses.

But today, after being played by the Chinese, the weakness of the National Guard was immediately exposed.

The naval officer s that were watching the battle from the center of Xiao Letian's body all stared with their eyes wide open, as they discussed amongst themselves. Of course they wouldn't attack the army, and the army wouldn't let them fight.

However, watching battles can also teach you a lot of things!

Jin Sanshun, this fatty, continued to urge his horse to follow the troops as he scratched his head and asked in confusion, ”How do I beat them up? ”Twenty thousand people, spreading out like an endless army …”

”Why are they all huddled together? Look, why are the formations here as dense as they were in the musket era? How did it become the military formation of the era of cold weapons? ”

The Fatty Jin was right on his spot. When the war had entered the era of stocking rifles, the tactics of the musket had already been eliminated.
