Various military flags fluttered in the wind, and the sound of intense drums rang throughout the battlefield. Speaker Yoshimoto, who was riding on a tall horse, held a monocular telescope and looked at the black dragon flag slowly approaching opposite, and said in confusion:

"What animal is drawn on the flags of this rebel group of Li Wei?"

A scholar next to him who looked like a secretary took the monocular lens and recognized it and said, "Sir, the flag is painted on the dragon that symbolizes the imperial power of the Eastern dynasty in the Far East.

People in the Far East regard this divine dragon as their totem symbol, and those in the Far East call themselves the son of heaven and descendants of the divine dragon.

However, the dragons in the Far East are usually golden, but Li Wei made a black dragon. It is probably because he had only a little understanding of Eastern culture that he did this."

"Far East... I heard that people there seem to shave their hair and leave only a small piece of braid on the back of their heads, which is extremely ugly.

People in the Far East also think that it is a very good-looking hair accessories, and all men cut them into that kind of hair accessories.

Oh by the way, the British seem to call that braid like a pig's tail, haha~”

As soon as Yoshimoto finished speaking, a cheerful laughter suddenly rang around him.

At this time, the French Kingdom's attitude towards the Far East Empire was still neutral. After all, the Opium War had not yet broken out, and the weakness of the Far East Empire was not exposed to the eyes of European powers.

However, Europeans in this era have always believed that Europe is the center of the world, and even if they did not see the weakness of the Far East Empire, they did not take it seriously.

In addition, the Far East Empire was closed to its own country, and Europeans knew little about it. The British who had dealt with the Far East Empire the most were humiliated by the royal family of the Far East Empire, so they never said good things about the Far East Empire in Europe.

Under the propaganda of the British, Europeans regarded the Far East Empire as a country with a vast territory, a large population, but ignorant and backwardness.

This is not that Europeans underestimate the Far East Empire, but that they believe that European culture is higher than the closed Far East Empire, which is considered a kind of cultural narcissism.

After all, Europe has completed its Renaissance for many years, which is a period of great national self-confidence.

The continuous victory of overseas colonial wars has also increased the mentality of Europeans to claim to be civilized countries and despise other continental countries.

Of course, Europe is not without people who value or even fear the Far East Empire, but there are not many people, and Yoshimoto and his group do not belong to that type of people.

"No wonder the legion created by Li Wei is named the Black Dragon Legion. It turns out that the dragon he mentioned is used to symbolize imperial power. Li Wei has a lot of ambitions.

With half-baked oriental knowledge, I dare to show off here. I dare to rebel with 3,000 people alone, which is really overestimating my ability!”

After laughing, Yoshimoto concluded in a cold tone.

"Maybe it was because Li Wei heard that his parents and family were arrested in Paris, so he was in a hurry.

Recently, many sword-walking nobles in Paris have been arrested and imprisoned, and their property has been confiscated. Many of the descendants and confidants left by the nobles in the fiefdom have tried to gather together to rebel, but without Li Wei's preparation, they cannot even get a thousand armed forces, and they are quickly suppressed."

A member of the congressman next to him explained in a more pertinent manner.

"France is no longer the world of aristocrats. The traditional sword-wearing nobles are self-confessed and have no idea how powerful the industrial revolution is. Now the British are about to ride on us and are still playing with the manor economy!

The French industrial revolution was so slow that the main responsibility was on the traditional sword nobles.

Fortunately, there are also enlightened people among the nobles. They take the initiative to join the wave of the industrial revolution and lead capital reform, which is really admirable!"

"Yes, there are good and bad among the nobles. The Constitutional Assembly banned the privileges of the nobles in order to eliminate the incompetent nobles who only know how to eat and wait for death. The glory of France cannot be buried in their hands!

The British are becoming stronger and stronger now, and the great France cannot be suppressed by the British!”

Yoshimoto and his group were not involved in the command at all. They were completely watching the show in the rear, looking around with a monocular telescope, and then talking about the political ideals of the international situation...

However, Li Wei was extremely nervous at this time. This was his first time commanding a battle in the wild!

Even though he was not the one who was mainly responsible for commanding, Li Wei is now the commander responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and the 3,000-person formation was handled by Li Wei.

Fortunately, the Black Dragon Legion has a very single army, with only line infantry. Li Wei, who has played many strategy games, can barely command it.

At worst, you can set up the formation according to the Napoleon Total War game I played before!

Line infantry is simple, without cavalry or artillery. Just spread the line infantry into battle lines to push forward.

Of course, the two wings and the rear need to leave separate troops to guard against enemy cavalry raids.

However, the armed forces gathered in the city of Vanne opposite were not very good. There were more than a dozen artillery pieces, and there were not a single cavalry in the establishment, only scattered scouts and scouts and horses riding by officers.

Those scouts and scouts were enough to be used as messengers, and if they raided, they were purely sent to death.

The first line of the Black Dragon Legion was lined up to form a relatively thick battle line.

The infantry company phalanx of each battalion line and line infantry companies are stepping forward in an orderly manner. During the progress, they will not be spliced ​​together to take steps together.

First of all, doing so will slow down the speed of progress. After all, if a thousand people form a row to maintain the order of order, they will definitely not be able to walk fast, even if there is a military band!

Secondly, the various square arrays can advance in an interlaced manner, which can form a strategic depth and ensure that they will not be penetrated by the enemy's charge.

When the flintlock rifle is approaching the effective range, the rear company phalanx can accelerate forward and piece together with the front company phalanx to form a straight line. The unstitched rear line phalanx will be used as reserve troops to fill the battle losses in the front row.

This is the standard tactical offense in the era of queuing and shooting.

For example, the tactics of all infantry lined up in a long line in the game are rarely used. Not only is it a question of whether the terrain can be unfolded, but it is mainly because of the fact that doing so will lead to the front line being too thin and easily broken by the enemy.

All ~

As the enemy approached, more than a dozen artillery pieces from the Vanne City fired one after another, and solid projectiles flew over the line of their own line and flew into the Black Dragon Legion's line!
