Chapter 757 Spanish Infantry Regiment
The Faspisian coalition originally thought that the Ming army had no resistance and today's battle would end soon, and the Ming army's defense line that had blocked them for so many days would be broken through with the end of the battle.
However, nearly two hours have passed since the war started, and the Ming army on the opposite side is still tenacious in resisting and failing to succeed in several breakthroughs, which makes French commander Louis Alexander frown.
"Your Excellency, these wise men are as annoying as mice in the stinky ditch. It is hard to imagine that they have the power to resist in this situation. But these cowards can only do this. Only those without the slightest courage and demeanor will use this tactic to breathe." Beside Louis, standing was General Diaz of the Spanish Kingdom in the North American colony. Although General Diaz's rank was higher than Louis's, the young Lord Alexander was the real master of the French coalition.
Among them, this is not only because France is now the suzerain of the Kingdom of Spain, but more importantly, the noble Louis Alexander had an extraordinary origin.
Louis Alexander came from the famous Motmar family in Europe. His mother was Mrs. Montespan, who could have made Louis XIV worshipped under the pomegranate skirt.
This Madame Montespan is not an ordinary person. She has a great influence in Europe and is even known as the "real queen" of France. More importantly, Madame Montespan also gave birth to seven children for the Sun King, and the youngest of these seven children is Louis Alexander.
Although Louis Alexander was unable to become the heir of the Dharma King due to his origin, Louis XIV publicly admitted the legal existence of their seven siblings shortly after his birth, so Bourbon characters were still added to the real name of Louis Alexander to represent that the blood of the great Sun King flowed on him.
Louis Alexander was named Count by Louis XIV. In addition, he inherited the title of ancient aristocratic inheritance from his mother. Although he could not become a duke like his elder brother August, nor did he become a princess or a duchess like his sister, he was still one of the most influential nobles in Europe as the dual identity of the oldest family and the descendant of the Sun King in Europe.
"Don't underestimate your opponents. If these wise men are cowards, then what are we fighting against them?" Louis Alexander sneered, and his eyes showed a look of contempt for General Diaz.
That's right, on the European battlefield, both sides of the war set up formations and then attacked with linear tactics, relying on the courage and elite of the soldiers and powerful firearms to defeat the opponent head-on. This way of war certainly reflects the courage to move forward, and can also defeat the opponent in one battle. But equally, war is not the same, and European countries also have various tactical uses.
On the North American battlefield, the performance of the Ming army surprised their opponents. At the beginning, the Ming army's tactics were not much different from that of the Faspi-Speech coalition. However, under the fierce attack of the powerful Faspi-Speech coalition, the Ming army, which suffered heavy losses, began to retreat, and then built a solid line of defense here, and then changed the original tactics.
The new tactics look ordinary, but they are hard-working. Although they failed to reverse the situation, they helped the Ming army stabilize their position. Coupled with the Ming army's flexible use of troops and outstanding performance in defensive warfare, the French-Swiss coalition forces have not been able to break through their defense lines.
Louis Alexander had to admit that the outstanding performance of the Ming army opened his eyes and began to learn different tactics between the Ming army and Europe. After these days of war, the French army became much more flexible. For him, this was a kind of progress in the art of war. Perhaps in the future, under similar circumstances, the French army could also learn from the Ming army to compete with the enemy.
Therefore, Louis Alexander was extremely dissatisfied with General Diaz's so-called belittling his opponent and raising himself. He felt that the gorgeously dressed Spanish general was just a boastful guy. On the battlefield, no matter what the position of both sides were, respecting the opponent was a necessary quality as a commander, and the Ming army, which blocked the footsteps of the great French soldiers, was a respectable opponent.
However, the situation after the war started this year did surprise Louis Alexander. He originally thought that the Ming army, which had reached the end of his strength, would collapse soon, and his subordinates would also successfully break through the defense line and thus achieve a great victory.
Before the war began, Louis Alexander even thought that if he could capture the commander of the Ming army, he would definitely give the other party the treatment of the corresponding identity, and meet the other party to see what kind of person this general who could last for so long was.
But now, the opponent on the battlefield has not collapsed, which makes Louis Alexander confused. At this time, he is wondering whether the other party has received reinforcements. If this is not the case, how could the Ming army, who obviously could not support it, have not given up yet?
"General Diaz!" Louis Alexander suddenly spoke, stretched out his hand to one end of the battlefield and said, "Did you see that position?"
"See your Excellency." General Diaz looked in the direction of the other party's finger and nodded immediately.
"Send another regiment to break through directly from this point. My artillery will cover you. I hope to see your subordinates penetrate like a bayonet within half an hour."
General Diaz was stunned and quickly realized, and quickly said yes, then turned around and left to make arrangements.
After General Diaz left, Louis Alexander's adjutant asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, should you hand over this task to the Spaniards..."
Louis Alexander waved his hand and said with ease: "The Spaniards will do everything they have. The war may not be over for a while. Our young men are tired, so let them take a break for a while."
"I understand, Your Excellency." At this moment, the adjutant understood Louis Alexander's intention, nodded immediately, and then continued to stand beside him.
Soon, the situation of the battle ahead changed. When an attacking force failed and retreated again, the Spanish regiment, which was ready to take over, replaced the French army and began to launch a tide-like attack on the target.
