This newly formed Dragon Flame Cavalry has horses from Europe and is a light cavalry unit.
For Long Yan, heavy cavalry is no longer their choice. Speed is more important to them than strength and defensive armor.
These light cavalrymen held the Longyan Army's repeating rifles, which could fire six times in one minute.
This has a longer attack range than a spear or something.
But there is a flaw in that the attack distance is not too far, and it can only reach an effective attack distance of 150 meters at most.
This is much shorter than the normal musket attack distance.
And filling the bullets is quite troublesome. After firing six bullets, it takes at least thirty seconds to refill the bullets.
This seems to have more disadvantages than advantages, but this gun is not designed for use by musketeers. This is to allow the cavalry to have a more efficient attack distance and power, and at the same time, it must have the advantages of short-term shooting like bows and arrows. arms.
Ten steps away, the gun is fast, and within ten steps, the gun is accurate and fast.
The main role of these Dragon Flame light cavalry is no longer to charge, but to use their fast movement speed and repeating rifles with a not too far range to contain the enemy's main firepower.
Create a more suitable battlefield environment for Longyan's other troops.
This time Ling Chen not only dispatched cavalry units equipped with repeating rifles, but also more advanced artillery units.
Bomb the enemy forces.
Under Ling Chen's integration, the number of Long Yan's melee troops has changed less and less.
Muskets and artillery are initially replacing spears and crossbows.
Prince Ferlandi looked at the situation on the battlefield. Under the attack of the Longyan Army, the coalition forces were defeated steadily. It could even be said that he could not understand their current state.
Especially now.
Ferlandi was silent.
Through the telescope, which was less than 1,500 meters away from the battlefield, he could clearly observe the distribution situation of the coalition troops on the battlefield.
Their equipment is already pretty good. A force of 30,000 people is equipped with 30 artillery pieces, and the musketry team seems to have at least 2,000 people.
But just like this unit, under the new combat methods and offensive methods of the Long Yan Army, they were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back.
It was about to be completely defeated.
Until now the battle had not lasted thirty minutes.
Prince Ferlandi sighed. Under Ling Chen's attack, even the main force of the coalition army might not be able to hold on for long.
At this time, the coalition forces could no longer maintain this battle.
They fell to the ground like water pouring down and scattered in all directions.
Concerns quickly gathered together. The pass guarded by Prince Ferlandi was one of their retreat routes!
Prince Ferlandi looked at the defeated coalition army and immediately gave the order.
"The whole army is ready for battle!"
The Prussian troops, who had been ambushing them for a long time, immediately braced themselves for the attack.
Soon, the retreating Union advance troops encountered the Prussian troops.
"kill!"
"Never let go of any of the coalition forces!"
Looking at the Prussian troops that suddenly came out, the coalition forces that were defeated by the Long Yan Army looked nervous. Behind them was the terrifying Long Yan Army.
If they were caught up by Long Yan's army, they would all be annihilated.
The commander of the Union Army immediately commanded the troops to fight the Prussian troops.
The Prussian army only had 10,000 troops, while the remaining troops of the Union Army numbered about 20,000.
Although the strength gap is half, the defeated coalition forces no longer have the courage to continue fighting. What they want to do is to escape from this ghost place quickly.
The Long Yan Army that fought them just now didn't look like a normal army.
The equipment of the Prussian troops was a little worse, but Prince Ferlandi's superb command and the strict military discipline of the Prussian troops made up for the lack of troops and weapons in this battle.
Ling Chen ordered the Long Yan Army to stay put and not attack.
He looked through the telescope at the battlefield in the distance.
He had to admire the Prussian troops. Although they lagged far behind in terms of armaments, the soldiers had extremely high combat standards.
Their soldiers were more uniform.
If Prussia had enough soldiers, it might not be a big problem to win this war.
Unfortunately, Prussia only has a population of three million, and its total military strength will not exceed 200,000.
Countries such as the Franco-Austrian-Russian Alliance now have more than half a million troops deployed on the battlefield.
For a small country like Prussia, even with the support of Long Yan and Britain, it is considered very good to be able to persist until now.
Ling Chen's counselor asked: "General, Prussia's advantage is only temporary."
"The difference in strength between them is too big. This battle is a blocking battle. If we don't help, his troops will definitely be lost here."
Ling Chen said indifferently: "This is the opportunity Prince Ferlandi has come with you. I want to respect his choice. Even if the Prussian troops are defeated, we don't have to worry about it."
"Clean up the battlefield and bring our fallen soldiers back to Dragon Flame..."
On the battlefield at the other end, it was just as the counselor expected.
The Prussian troops are now beginning to be unable to hold on in this blocking battle.
As time went on, the fear of the coalition forces gradually strengthened. Although the Longyan Army had not launched an attack now, they could not forget that the Longyan Army was not far away from them.
The next moment may come.
Prince Ferlandi's adjutant observed the battlefield and looked at the Longyan Army, which had not moved for a long time. He frowned and said, "General, the Longyan Army has not come yet. Will there be any changes in this battle?"
Prince Ferlandi watched the Prussian troops gradually lose their advantage and sighed.
"The Dragon Flame Army will not launch an attack for us."
"We are the only one who can resist the war."
The adjutant was stunned.
Prince Ferlandi said solemnly: "This war originally belonged to Prussia only, and the Long Yan people only promised to help us intercept the coalition forces."
"It didn't say that it would help us win this war. For Long Yan, they don't want to watch any of our European countries grow by leaps and bounds. Maintaining the status quo is the best choice for them."
The adjutant fell into silence.
But at this time, there was already a collapse on the battlefield.
The Prussian troops were gradually unable to support the Union Army's attack and saw this situation.
Prince Ferlandi sighed: "Withdraw troops."
The adjutant looked at Prince Ferlandi: "General, withdraw your troops now, the Longyan Army is right next to you."
Prince Ferlandi looked at him indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw troops!"
“Withdraw troops!
"Withdraw troops!"
After receiving the order, the Prussian troops immediately retreated to make way for the Union Army to retreat. They immediately evacuated this place.
Looking at the remaining Prussian troops, Prince Ferlandi's eyes darkened.
I really don’t know if it’s right or wrong to cooperate with Long Yan now...
But there is no choice.
