Chapter 1947: The Ambush Plan

Nashadier had already arrived on the battlefield in person, facing the enemy's defensive formation.

He ordered: "Artillery Unit, provide cover! All forces, attack!"

Nashadier's Resistance Army immediately launched their offensive.

Because Harris's troops encountered the Resistance Army's landmine traps, many soldiers lost their combat effectiveness in the explosions.

Therefore, in this melee, the Resistance Army would not be at too much of a disadvantage in terms of troop strength.

Harris ordered his troops to change their combat formation.

As a Commander of the Wahala Tribe, he was very knowledgeable about how to lead a unit well, as far as he was concerned.

Although the battle against the Resistance Army was thrilling and extremely tragic, this did not mean he had never experienced such combat before.

To him, such combat was not considered rare.

Harris remained calm throughout; although his troops were clearly at a disadvantage now, it did not affect his command.

There was no Method to calculate how many troops were still able to fight after encountering the ambush.

However, by Harris's estimation, their force was already at an advantage in this battle.

They still had the muskets and cannons provided by France, as well as the excellent War Horses and excellent Cavalry of the Wahala Tribe that could be deployed.

Harris ordered in a deep voice: "Musket Team, attack!"

Harris's subordinate troops, his Musket Team, immediately moved out and launched an attack on the Resistance Army.

They were also equipped with French muskets, with the same power as those in Nashadier's troops.

However, when Harris's Musket Team fired, the Resistance Army was in the middle of a melee and did not deploy Shield Infantry for defense like Harris's troops.

This caused the Resistance Army's troops to suffer a heavy blow.

But under the suppression of the cannons used by the artillerymen in Nashadier's troops, these Musket Teams located at the rear of Harris's troops also suffered attacks.

Shields could defend against the Resistance Army's bullets, but against Cannonballs.

They had not the slightest Method to deal with them.

The Cannonball traced an arc in the sky, landed among Harris's troops, and exploded.

A group of Harris's troops fell instantly.

Harris's Artillery Unit also immediately returned fire.

However, although the French cannons had a range of over 150 meters, their precision and accuracy were frighteningly low, and hitting anything was almost a matter of luck.

Harris's Artillery Unit also aimed at the Musket Team at the rear of the Resistance Army.

But their hit rate was truly pathetic.

After a wave of bombardment, not many of the Resistance Army's Musket Team were injured.

However, on the Resistance Army's side, although the hit rate was not high, every hit would cause twenty or thirty of Harris's soldiers to lose their combat effectiveness.

Harris frowned and looked at Nashadier's Resistance Army through a Telescope.

"So that's how it is..."

Looking at the positioning of the Musket Team in Nashadier's troops, he instantly understood why his artillerymen had failed to cause much damage to the Resistance Army despite scoring hits.

Nashadier's Musket Team adopted a dispersed formation, not considering the density of the muskets.

The advantage of this formation was that it could reduce the number of casualties after a Cannonball hit.

After a Cannonball landed and exploded, it did not rely on the Cannonball itself to hurt people, but on the fragments produced after the explosion.

These fragments were called shrapnel, and the scattered shrapnel could cause large-scale damage.

Harris's Musket Team's positioning method still used the formation taught to them by the French troops.

The Musket Team stood densely together, striving to ensure that every round of fire allowed the Musket Team's Bullet to hit the enemy, which was very suitable for crushing combat.

But it was also because of this combat style that their troops suffered relatively serious damage.

But now they had no

Method to adjust their combat style.

Harris could only try to remedy the situation; the Musket Team was the main force of this battle, and if the Artillery Unit attacking the Musket Team was not wiped out.

That would cause them very serious trouble.

Harris immediately ordered: "Cavalry, attack the enemy's Artillery Unit!"

On the battlefield, the Cavalry was a highly efficient unit capable of rapid movement, although Harris's Cavalry was equipped with Long Spears.

But their combat effectiveness still could not be underestimated, especially on such a battlefield.

At this moment, Harris's Cavalry was attacking those Infantry units of Nashadier, pinning down their advance.

But after receiving the military order from Harris, they immediately turned their direction and launched a charge against the Resistance Army's Artillery Unit.

Nashadier's Artillery Unit was not a Long Yan team.

They were not equipped with Miao Sabers.

This type of long-handled weapon, which was very suitable for fighting against Cavalry, was not equipped with corresponding defensive weapons either.

If they encountered an attack from Harris's Cavalry, then these Artillery Units would have no Method to defend.

Nashadier had arranged troops on the battlefield to guard his Artillery Unit, but in such a chaotic battle, these guards also had to participate in the fighting.

His Artillery Unit was located at the rear of Nashadier's Resistance Army, but after Harris's Cavalry assembled, they tore a hole right through the battlefield.

They charged toward Nashadier's artillerymen.

Nashadier observed a Cavalry unit charging toward their most important artillerymen, and he ordered coldly: "Form a defensive line! You must not let the Cavalry wipe out our Artillery Unit!"

Nashadier's troops mobilized immediately.

In fact, this move by Harris was a desperate gamble, as Nashadier's Artillery Unit was located far in the rear.

Their attack was almost sending themselves into the enemy's encirclement; even if they wiped out the Artillery Unit, they might not necessarily make it out alive.

But in the current situation, this task had to be done by some unit.

If their Cavalry does not do it, there is no other suitable unit to perform this task.

Harris's unit is composed of Warriors from the Wahala Tribe, and their horsemanship and fighting spirit are top-tier.

Under their assault, a gap was quickly torn open on the battlefield; this gap spread rapidly, and just as rapidly closed.

This Cavalry unit moved as if through uninhabited territory!

There was absolutely no unit capable of hindering his advance.

In the end, this unit fought their way to the front of Nashadier's Artillery Unit; they were covered in blood, and having become a unit of the Resistance Army, they sealed off the last retreat for this unit.

Even if they wiped out the Artillery Unit, they would still be trapped and die here.

But their mission would be accomplished!

They launched their final charge against the Artillery Unit!

Just at this moment, a bang rang out.

These Musket Teams, not equipped with polearms, drew their Muskets and unleashed a barrage of attacks against Harris's Cavalry unit.

At such close range, these Cavalry units, who only had Long Spears in their hands, had no idea how much power a Musket could possess.

Although they were mounted infantry, at such close range, even with the Muskets possessing maximum power and highest precision, they easily pierced through the Armor on the Cavalry unit.

They had completely failed to anticipate that these artillerymen were also a Musket Team, and under a single volley of fire.

The charging Cavalry unit could only meet their end on the spot!
