A few minutes ago, the bright moonlight that was still splashing on the earth finally penetrated into the clouds and mist, as if it was avoiding something. Their beautiful shadows were missing on the ground, because a killing was about to begin, just as the moonlight once visited the dark green grassland.

At about two o'clock in the morning, under the shouts of the officers, the rebels hurriedly got up from the wet grass, holding weapons, crowded together in a mess, and arranged in a slanted manner into various dense line-shaped square formations. The sound was so loud that even thousands of meters away, Andrew could clearly hear it standing on the central artillery position. The rebels did not realize what threat they were about to face. They were just a group of mindless flies, driven to death by others.

Andrew shook his head. He knew that the goddess of victory had pulled out her skirt and placed it naked in front of him, teasing him and letting him pick it. Faced with these mobs, not to mention five times that of the Republican army, it was ten times more. Without artillery support, the result of the continuous charge could only fall in front of a position less than five square kilometers.

Because Andrew did not deliberately conceal his position defense deployment, he did not care that the scouts sent by the rebels hid in the distance and observed secretly. According to the collected information, Hust, his military adviser, Colonel Fang Soto understood the current "real" situation between the enemy and us. The Republic's soldiers were not large and only more than 10,000, but they were in an excellent defensive position. A deep and wide defense infantry trench ran across the entire frontier position. When his soldiers jumped out of the trenches and climbed out with difficulty, they continued to threaten the team of dense smoothbore gunmen. Because the scouts could not get close to them, they continued to threaten the team of dense smoothbore gunmen.

The enemy positions did not specify the intelligence of the opponent's artillery, but Fang Soto estimated that the Republican Army had deployed at least 10 more than 8-pound cannons that could fire grape bullets, and they should be placed on the left and right sides. Several large-caliber artillery positions that fired 16-pound solid bullets should be in the center, but the battlefield was chosen to be soft and slippery grass, unless it hits the target directly, which was not a big threat. (Fonsoto of course could not know that with the help of Ravashi, Andrew had mastered the technology of long-range flowering bullets.)

Therefore, both Hust and Fonsoto agreed to use a middle breakthrough to attack the central position of the Republic Army, break through it at all costs, cut the Republic Army's position in half and collapse. Because they lack artillery support, they will definitely launch a charge of positions that cross the trenches. If they mainly attack the two wings, they will inevitably face the terrible lethal grape bombs at close range. Therefore, it would be a wise choice to impact the main artillery position that lacks dense killing. In terms of tactical arrangement, the two were in the same direction, but in the specific operation deployment, Houst and Fonsoto had differences.

Fonsoto originally proposed to Houster according to the standards of the battle, and the 50,000 rebels were divided into five combat echelons, and they still used the horizontal strait tactics popular in the dynasty war era in the mid-18th century in Europe, but the number of people in the team was extremely over-group. The front of each combat echelon was as many as 800 people, with a depth of 12 columns. Among the five echelons, two defenses were only prepared for attack. Two echelons took turns to attack the central position, trying to occupy it in a short period of time, and the last echelon was used as the general combat reserve.

Fonsoto believed that because it was night combat, the fast cavalry of the Republican Army could not be put into use, so they could give up their wings and make only central breakthroughs. The orderly combat queues could effectively prevent soldiers from leaving the battle privately on the battlefield, resulting in the collapse of the entire team. In addition, Fonsoto also proposed to cut down trees and build ladders to climb over trenches. The colonel's suggestion was good, but the premise was that the rebel soldiers must have a calm fighting spirit and received good militarization training. Unfortunately, the rebels lacked both.

Therefore, his suggestion was not approved by the subordinates of Huster. The leaders of the rebels were tired of the command of the Spanish and were extremely disgusted with the boring square formation and lineup. In the eyes of fanatical people, regardless of their bird's tactics, they picked up their rifles and rushed forward, and shot people when they saw them. Why bother with the exhausted ladder? Anyway, they had many people, and even if they lost 30,000, there were still 20,000 people who could step on all the Republican troops.

Hust was quite clear-headed. He considered more about the quality of soldiers. His team was from peasants and had not received any military training. The officers also lacked military literacy. Previously experienced officers either died on the battlefield or were executed because they could not get along with him. If the traditional battle method was adopted, they would definitely be a dog. However, if the mud-legged men charge randomly and flock back when they encounter setbacks, the result can be imagined. Therefore, he adopted Fang Soto's echelon combat method. Among the five echelons, two defenses on the left and right sides, two echelons attacked the central position in turn, one echelon serves as the general combat reserve, and also formed a supervisor. However, during the attack, he still fantasized about sneaking attacks. The soldiers carried ladders and sneaked in the dark without any formation arrangement. If they encountered resistance, they could open fire freely during charge, and there was no need for commanders to form a dense formation.

When the Count ordered the attack, the first echelon of the rebels began to rush forward without hesitation.

The lieutenant who ran at the forefront of the rebels was a lieutenant, and Shavet followed him. It was the lieutenant's carelessness that he let go of the commando led by Lieutenant Colonel Dawu and was severely scolded by Hustle. He was not alert and took the initiative to demand that he be the first officer to charge forward in the next battle, perhaps he would not be able to survive until today.

Shavet trotted on the dark windless field, with the chaotic and dense footsteps and gasping sounds echoing in his ears. Although the weather was cold, his palms were covered with sweat before too long, and he could hardly control the rifle in his hand. He looked up at the front, and he could not see anything except the lieutenant who was a few steps away. He looked at the sky again, with dark clouds covered and the moonlight still not penetrated. Shavet felt the atmosphere was extremely depressed and a little scared. At this time, he had only

Ask God for help. He shook his hand and found a hand to touch the rosary on his wrist, then touched the heart-shaped Jesus image on his chest, muttering words like "God Blessing". Like Chavet, many rebels were busy with this action, running and praying. An unlucky man pulled down the Jesus image to the ground because of his excessive force. When he bent down and wanted to pick up the lost object, he was overturned to the ground by the person who rushed up. Before he could say a moment, countless big feet stepped on him...
