Chapter 810： Win by battle (Part 1)

If Marin was at the scene and saw the fight like this, he would definitely kick Schwartz with anger. Why? Because Marin will never let his musketeers and opponents shoot each other silly.

At a distance of 50 steps (37.5 meters), the musketeer's hit rate is very high. If you shoot each other, both sides will suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, at such a short distance, the best option is to launch a charge ...

Later the lobster soldiers did just that. The British guy found that within 30 meters, the hit rate of the smoothbore gun could also become very high. However, if the two sides stopped to shoot each other, it would be stupid. Because, at a distance of 30 meters, you can rush forward in one breath.

By that time, the best weapon was no longer a musket, but a bayonet. Once rushed to the opponent, the bayonet is definitely more effective than the musket. After all, the loading speed of the front loading gun is extremely slow, and it usually takes 30 seconds to load a bullet. With bayonet, you can stab several enemies in 30 seconds ...

Of course, Marin has not yet developed a bayonet. Naturally, there is no lobster soldier's "collective bayonet charge after 30-meter salvo" tactics. It is not that he is unwilling to use advanced tactics, but that bayonet is not easy to use in this era ...

In the military, there is a theory of "community of arms". The bayonet-mounted musket is of course very advantageous when fighting with the opposite musketeer. However, that was what happened after the spearmen were eliminated by muskets.

But in this era, Musketeers are still a minority. The majority are spearmen. Do you try to stab each other with bayonets and spearmen? Your rifle is equipped with a bayonet, and it is only more than 1.6 meters (38-type rifle). In this era, the European spears were more than 4 meters long, and the Swiss spears were five or six meters long ... 1.6 meters bayonet and 6 meters. The Swiss spear poke ... So, Marin never thought of bayoning the musket, because there was no need ...

Therefore, in this case, Marin will make an adjusted version of the lobster soldier's "bayonet charge after volley"-after the volley, the spear soldiers of the left and right wings launch a charge ... The spearman rushes from the left and right wings to fill The middle musketeer's original position, and continued to assault forward, stab the enemy musketeer with a spear. As for the musketeer on my side, I will rest for a while now. At the same time, install the ammunition, climb the unicycle or the bench, and climb up to observe which of the second enemy is the most fierce. Then, give him a shot up close ...

...

Shooting at a 50-step distance like the one Schwartz chose to shoot at the enemy is the most silly, and the casualties are also the highest. At this distance, the musketeers on both sides have a very high hit rate, and several rounds of salvos have resulted in high casualties ...

As expected, after several rounds of shooting, the Beihai State lost more than 800 people. The Gedsi army on the opposite side suffered more losses, and the estimated number of casualties exceeded 1500 ...

Marshal Bonitz, the commander-in-chief of the Geddes Army, couldn't sit still. Seeing that he hadn't taken advantage of the shooting, he began to realize that if he shoots again, not only will the musketeers of the Principality of Geddes will die, the spearmen will die. There will also be huge casualties. Moreover, after observing, he concluded that there were more musketeers on the opposite side, and it did not take advantage of shooting the Geddes army ... Therefore, he gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Stop shooting, charge the whole army!"

Although wondering why there were so many musketeers on the opposite side, Marshal Bonitz insisted that the army on the opposite side was a mixed army of the criver army and other countries' military forces with weak combat effectiveness. As long as the Swiss-based Gede Spearman rushed forward and stabbed with his opponent, then the victory would definitely belong to the Swiss-made Gede Si army, although the number of opponents seemed to be more ...

...

Seeing that his opponent had given up on each other's shots, he began to swell, Schwartz breathed a sigh of relief-he was not afraid of the opponent rushing to fight, only worried that he would be hit by a stray bullet, and also came to a head ...

Facing the enemy's charge, Schwartz quickly responded:

"Notify the musketeer to retreat, and the lancer to add 4 more rows to the front! Hold the enemy's charge! As for the musketeer, stand behind the 4th row of lancers, and stand on a stool or a unicycle, from a height Aim at the enemy and continue shooting! "

This formation is a wonderful formation invented by Marin-this formation is a defensive formation, the front row of lancers are wearing chest plates, wearing iron helmets, the main purpose is to withstand the impact of the enemy ...

Then, the musketeer will be behind the four rows of lancers in the middle front, by standing on the stool and on the unicycle, to get a higher geographical position and better vision. Then they can calmly aim at the enemy's fiercest lancer at a close range of a few meters to a dozen meters. To see who is the most brave, aim at who shoots ... No matter how good your martial arts are, you are also shot down ...

As long as the musketeers killed the opponent's most ferocious group, the opponent's offensive would be suppressed. Once the enemy loses in momentum, the offensive will naturally disappear ...

Moreover, according to the habit of mercenaries in this era, often the first three rows of soldiers are the most elite veterans. They have strong martial arts and rich combat experience. Many veterans also wear chest armor and helmets. Therefore, these people not only have strong fighting power, but also have high protection.

However, in front of the musket, the protective power of the chest plate armor and the iron helmet is negligible ...

...

Sure enough, when the spearmen of Gede Si rushed to the front and the back, at the beginning, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. The spearmen in the first three rows of the Beihai Kingdom and the spearmen in the first three rows of the Principality of Geddes both energetically pounced their spears on the enemy. However, the soldiers in the first three rows of both sides wore chest armor and iron helmets. So, both sides began to stab each other's face, neck, limbs ...

But the soldiers in the first three rows of the two sides are the most experienced veterans, how can the other party easily succeed? Therefore, when the spear soldiers of both sides stabbed each other, the veterans tried their best to stab each other's weaknesses, and also dodge left and right. For a time, the fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce ...

But soon, when the North Sea Musketeers who pushed behind found the stools and wheelbarrows, and stood at a high point with the help of their comrades, everything changed ...

"Huh-the spearman of the Geddes opposite is so powerful, he stabbed one of our spearmen, and wanted to stab the next one. See me give him a shot ..." Then, one The Beihai State Musketeer raised his clockwork musket and aimed at a powerful spearman in the Gede army seven or eight meters away ...

"boom--"

"what--"

The two voices reminded me rhythmically that a large, muscled Geddes elite lancer veteran had just solved a North Sea lancer and was about to stab the next enemy again with a lead shot He flew and hit him directly on his chest plate armor, which shattered several of his ribs. So he screamed and immediately lost his fighting power ...

After a while, more sporadic gunfire sounded. At such a short distance, the Beihai State Musketeers rarely missed. Moreover, because the two sides are stabbing each other with 6 meters long hair, the distance between the two sides is at least 4 meters. When the Musketeers of the North Sea State aim and shoot, they are not worried that they will accidentally hurt their robes ...

The surviving more than 2,000 North Sea Musketeers took turns on the bench and wheelbarrow, aiming at the elite lancers in the first three rows of the Principality of Geddes, and they were specially targeted to make the Geds spearmen lose very hard. All those who can fight are killed by the gunmen of the North Sea country, and the rest can't be turned off ...

And ~ www.novelhall.com ~ With the massive loss of elite lancers, the morale of the army of the Duchy of Geddes is getting lower and lower, while the morale of the army of the North Sea is getting higher ...

Seeing that it was almost the same, Schwartz found Wolfgang, the commander of the Principality of the Cliff, and said:

"General Wolfgang, the morale of the enemy has been severely hit. Now, do you have the confidence to take the eight thousand soldiers of the Principality of Cliff and break the enemy right from the side?"

Wolfgang also looked at it for a while, and seeing that the army of the Principality of Geddes was indeed suppressed by the army of the North Sea, he naturally had confidence. Moreover, he can also see that the enemy right is a weak point. After all, the enemy puts the strongest part in front, and the right wing is naturally not very strong. Moreover, the morale of the Geddes army was greatly reduced in the previous battle.

So Wolfgang nodded and said:

"Please rest assured, I must complete the task!"

With that said, General Wolfgang took eight kilograms of the Principality of the Principality of the River to leave from the side of the battle array and circled towards the weak right wing of the enemy ...
