Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

On the artillery position, Heinz gathered a few of his capable men, arranged his plan, and then mounted his horse, intending to lead the cavalry to surprise from the side city.

At this moment, a ranger came running

from the west side of the position, and shouted: "Report, a large number of enemy troops are out of the city

!" "It just so happens that we will attack from this side and attack immediately!"

Heinz drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at the wall.

After receiving the order, more than 800 infantry and 200 cavalry swooped down on the wall, and at the same time, Heinz's improvised artillery began to operate the cannon to fire at the wall.

However, due to the unfamiliarity with the cannons, either the gunpowder was too low or the elevation angle was too large, and none of the thirty shells hit the city wall, and one of the cannonballs fired by a cannon almost blew up his own people.

However, it is clear that the main enemy force is no longer in the frontal wall, so there is no need to worry about heavy losses.

Heinz led his cavalry to the flank, where dozens of rangers were scattered around a grenadier phalanx.

Through visual inspection, Heinz judged that there should be about three hundred people in this phalanx.

Seeing this, Heinz frowned, it seems that the enemy's main force is still on the city wall!

But it's okay, after destroying the people here, he will go and attack the front of the enemy.

The Rangers saw Heinz coming with his team, so they hurried to join Heinz's team.

Heinz looked at the grenadier phalanx waiting in front of him, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered to circle around the grenadier phalanx.

The encirclement was then gradually reduced until it was within range, and then Heinz gave the order to open fire on the grenadiers.

However, the commander in the grenadier phalanx did not give the order to fire, because he was taught in the class of the Suxin Academy that when he got closer to the enemy, the hit rate of firing would be higher, even if the opposite side used the same weapon, even if the opposite side fired first.

However, it is clear that he did not take it seriously, and the premise is that he needs to approach the enemy before firing, and the premise is that he needs to take the initiative to approach, not so passively.

Moreover, the purpose of this was to increase the accuracy of the first shot, and now the enemy was approaching slowly, which was quite enough for the musket to fire several times.

Now Heinz's team is constantly firing at the grenadiers, and has killed many grenadiers, but the grenadiers still haven't fired.

However, it was precisely because the grenadier phalanx did not fire for a long time that Heinz did not give the order to attack the grenadier phalanx, and now the assault was undoubtedly directly into the muzzle, and the enemy had nearly 300 rifles loaded.

So now the two sides are deadlocked, but the advantage is still on the side of Heinz, Heinz can use the mobility of the cavalry, quickly circle around the grenadier phalanx, and at the same time fire at the grenadier, although the accuracy is very low, but each time the volley of fire is fired, it can kill several people, and so on the grenadier phalanx is constantly consumed.

"First platoon, salvo!"

the officer in the grenadier phalanx saw this, and knew that it could not be used any longer, so he ordered a split shot.

However, the distance itself is very long, and the enemies are still scattered, and at the same time, the movement speed is extremely high, and the segmented fire almost does not hit people at all.

Faced with the grenadiers' segmented fire, Heinz already had a plan of response, and he immediately ordered the cavalry to divide into four parts, ready to attack in four directions at the same time.

In this way, only a few dozen people of the enemy were left in each direction to be able to deliver a salvo, and the scattered cavalry, coupled with the high-speed movement, the enemy simply could not hit many people.

Faced with such an offensive method of Heinz, the grenadier officer immediately panicked, and Heinz's cavalry attacked from four directions at the same time, and he could only order the grenadiers to divide into four parts and shoot in four directions.

The grenadier officer finally became a little smarter at this time, and he quickly realized that if the segmented shooting continued, then such a small number of people, not only with a low hit rate, but also with a few shots the enemy approached.

So he chose to get all the grenadiers to stop firing, and Heinz was aware of the grenadier officer's attempt, but the troops had already charged towards the phalanx, and now they had to continue to charge.

As soon as the cavalry approached, the grenadier officer immediately ordered a volley.

After carrying this round of volleys, Heinz's cavalry losses were really not small, and it was estimated that a total of fifty or sixty cavalry fell off their horses in four directions.

By this time, however, the cavalry had already rushed into the phalanx of the grenadiers, and the iron cavalry drove away the grenadiers, who had almost no defense.

A grenadier stabbed a cavalryman's horse with a bayonet, and was greeted by a cold knife from the cavalry around him.

The losses of the cavalry were not small, but the losses of the grenadiers were even greater, and more than a hundred grenadiers fell under the blades of the cavalry.

The remaining grenadiers immediately broke down and shouted surrender, and suddenly as if possessed by France, they raised their guns above their heads, and the officers in the phalanx looked frightened and slowly raised their hands.

Heinz immediately ordered the attack to be stopped, allowing the remaining grenadiers to survive, after all, rushing to kill them might make the opposite side fight to the death, which would not do him any good.

After collecting all the weapons of the grenadiers, Heinz left only a few dozen cavalry guards, and then rushed towards the city with all the cavalry.

After entering the city, he quickly turned into the main road leading to the south main gate, and then met the infantry who rushed into the city.

"Attacking the city so soon?"

Heinz looked at the infantry attacking the city with some surprise, just about three hundred people, then there should be four or five hundred people in the front, even if the pressure is much less, it can't be so easy.

Suddenly, Heinz was shocked, and then the leading infantry ran in front of Heinz and hurriedly said to Heinz:

"Your Highness, we have just attacked the city, and news came from the east side that a force of the enemy had broken through from the east side, and Captain Luo led the cavalry to support.

Heinz tugged on the reins angrily, and the horse chirped in pain.

It turned out that the breakthrough on the western side was a decoy, and in fact the enemy wanted to break through from the eastern side.

"Everyone, go to the east gate at once.

Heinz turned his horse's head and shouted towards the cavalry.

The cavalry hurried towards the east gate, but before Heinz could reach the east gate with his team, they were met by the rangers who had fled from the east gate.

Before the cavalryman's horse could steady, he jumped off his horse, knelt directly on the ground and cried:

"Your Highness, the enemy has broken through! We have suffered heavy losses!"

Heinz was shocked and hurriedly asked,

"What's the matter?"

"After the enemy left the city, he leaned on both sides of the city gate to lay in ambush, and soon after Captain Luo came out of the city with a team of cavalry, we wanted to remind that there was an ambush, but it was too late, the enemy was ambushed on both sides of the city gate, and attacked Captain Luo who went out of the city.... Later, they took Captain Luo and their horses, and pursued and killed us..... Right now... Now they have retreated to the south!"

After listening to the cavalry's report, Heinz angrily pulled the reins again, and the horse's feet raised slightly, and let out a cry of surprise.

"Your Highness, if the enemy breaks through, it won't be long before enemy reinforcements arrive!" said

one of the cavalrymen to Heinz, who hurriedly summoned a few prisoners and asked them about the situation.

Hearing that the enemy still had several troops of this size, and even cavalry, Heinz took a deep breath.

After pondering for a moment, he looked around at the surrounding houses, sighed, and said to the cavalry beside him, "

Abandon the city..."
