“Amir, look!

It is the French army's black dragon flag!

Haha, the French vanguard walked into our ambush circle, go and blow the charge!"

The young man called Emil, wearing the military uniform of the Principal of Hesse, immediately ran to a conspicuous little high ground and took out his trumpet after hearing the order.

As the strange tune sounded, the endless jungle around him suddenly sounded one after another.

The army of the Duchy of Hesse, who had been ambushing for a long time, launched a charge towards the French army, which had only one battalion of troops outside the jungle.

After seeing the blockbuster movies of friendly troops in the same military uniform as him, Emil ran back to his company with excitement on his face. At this time, the company captain of his company had already drawn out his sword, raised his voice and shouted: "For the glory of the Holy Roman Empire, charge!"

"kill!!!"

The army of the Duchy of Hesse, which emerged from all directions, had nearly 10,000 people, which was more than ten times the reconnaissance battalion of the French Defence Force Pioneer Regiment, which was just a few hundred people in front of him!

The main force of the First Army seemed to be a lot of tens of thousands of people, but after being distributed to the long fronts of the Rhine River, it did not appear much.

In addition to dealing with the main forces of Austria, the Lanxi Defense Forces all need to send small groups of troops to occupy them bit by bit to protect the large troops and prevent the large troops of the enemy from engaging in tactical intercourse and running to the rear of the main force of the First Army led by Carl.

These small French troops that occupied land were handed over by the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire to the German army near the Rhine.

The quality of these German states is uneven, but many states have completed the compulsory military service system, and the number of troops is quite large. Moreover, China and Europe are relatively developed regions, and many state armies can have a flintlock rifle.

The Principality of Hesse is one of the best.

Emil excitedly followed his company captain and kept encouraging himself in his heart.

"The French army has only a few hundred people, so we can definitely win. Even if all the French soldiers are not afraid of death, they will not be able to beat us..."

Emil's self-encouragement is not an exception. In fact, many Hessian soldiers who launched the charge were in their hearts. After all, the French army's fierce record had already spread in Central and Europe, especially the various countries of the Holy Roman Empire on the east bank of the Rhine River, which were even more well-known!

If it weren't for the support of powerful states among the Holy Roman Empires such as Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria, Hesse would not dare to confront the French Empire at all!

The guard infantry in the ambushed French Defense Force soon listed four battle lines in front, back and left and right, looking like a loose hollow square formation.

There was no way, there were too many enemies, and the roads in front and behind were blocked from the beginning, and soldiers in Hessian Duchy uniforms were everywhere.

Although they were charging, they did not charge without brains, but took the company as the basic unit. Under the leadership of grassroots officers such as the company captain, they held their own flags and jogged forward.

Because the charge was not fast, the army of the Principal of Hesse could not only easily complete the encirclement, but also maintain the same horizontal line as other friendly forces.

If the army of other countries encounters an enemy that is ten times more than its own, and in this way, they may raise the white flag before the battle breaks out...

However, the battalion commander of the French National Defense Forces, who was in the center of a loose hollow square, smiled indifferently, pulled out his officer's sword, and shouted loudly: "It's time for the heroic soldiers of the Empire to be loyal to His Majesty Li Wei.

Your Majesty Li Wei! Long live!”

"Happy Majesty Li Wei! Long live!!!"

The guards and infantry around him immediately responded in unison.

All the guard infantry, including officers, prepared the fire-drawing objects. Just when the enemy rushed up, they pinched the time to ignite the explosive pack behind them.

With the help of the adjutant, the battalion commander carried a large special explosive pack.

Unlike ordinary guard infantrymen, the French Wehrmacht Army will not carry explosives in advance when they reach the level of battalion commander, because after reaching this level, the French Wehrmacht no longer encourages suicide tactics.

A battalion commander is in charge of hundreds of people, and he can only step into the threshold of an intermediate officer. Naturally, he cannot be a soldier at will to die.

However, when the entire battalion is in a life-and-death crisis, the battalion commander can carry a pack of explosives on himself.

Even though the battalion commander knew that he had taken the initiative to enter the ambush circle this time, he had a lot of hope to survive, he still carried the explosive pack without hesitation!

When the guard infantry of this battalion was ready for combat, the speed of the Hesse Principality soldiers in the charge also became faster and faster until they entered a 100-meter distance and within the effective range of the flintlock rifle, the speed suddenly exploded, and all the Hesse Principality soldiers no longer maintained their formation and rushed over with all their strength!

It is obvious that the General of the Principality of Hesse, who was in charge of command, had no intention of shooting against the French Wehrmacht.

This is naturally because of the strong achievements made by the French Defence Force before this.

The French Wehrmacht's rate of fire is comparable to that of the fast gunmen in the regular Prussian army. Not a few or dozens, but every privateer has this level!

With such a fast firing rate, even the Austrian army explicitly prohibited the use of queuing with the French Defense Forces to kill, let alone the Hesse Duchy Army, which has one level of combat effectiveness?

Today, the continental countries, namely the United Kingdom of Britain, Ireland and the Kingdom of Prussia, are not afraid to shoot against the French Defence Force!

Of course, if you really encounter the army of the Kingdom of Prussia, the French Wehrmacht would not play the traditional queuing and shooting tactics, but instead learn the British tactics, go over and shoot three rows of volleys with faces, and then charge one dragon with grenades and bayonets...

If you encounter state troops from Austria or other Holy Roman Empire, the French Defence Force will use the Xujin-style shooting method often used by the Prussian army to give full play to the French Defence Force's volleyball rate advantage.

In short, against different opponents, the French Defence Force will choose the tactics that they have the advantage.

However, the French Defense Forces have not fought with the British army yet, so the best tactics to deal with the British army have not yet been determined.

Lieutenant General Carl once submitted a tactical report to Levi, believing that challenging the British army's close-range three-column volley tactics should use traditional volleyball tactics, standing still and changing formation shooting, and relying on the high-fire rate to kill as much as possible before the British Redshirts draw the distance closer.

Even if the British Redshirts walked in front of him, they were not afraid of three volleys at close range. After all, no matter how many people died, the French Defense Forces would not be defeated by three volleys at close range...

Of course, this is just a tactical concept and has not been practiced yet. I don’t know if it is useful.

As for the tactics of fighting the Prussian and Austrian armies, they have been tested in practice and the effect is very good!

Emile saw that the French Wehrmacht, which was still in a state of motion, was unable to slow down his charge.

He has not married a wife yet, and has not experienced the true source of man's happiness. He does not want to die so early!

Emil took the initiative to join the army of the Principal of Hesse, in fact, in order to earn more money, he kept it back to his town to marry a woman with big buttocks and round and easy to give birth to.

It's better to be a blonde beauty!

Before joining the army, Emil heard from the elderly mercenaries in the town’s tavern that joining the army is the fastest way to make money. Not only can you get a lot of settlement fees and fixed military pay, but you can also have many opportunities for legal robbery!

Because of this, Emil sincerely hopes that the Holy Roman Empire can win this war. Only in this way can the Duchy of Hesse, a member of the anti-French alliance, enter the French mainland and have the opportunity to rob the family!

Robbing foreigners is an unbreakable unspoken rule for the armies of various countries in this era.

In the history of Li Wei's previous life, many of the British and French soldiers who participated in the war in the two Opium Wars became rich after returning to China, and they suddenly crossed several social classes!

Especially the group of soldiers who burned the Old Summer Palace, many of them grabbed the wealth they would never spend in their entire lives!

A well-trained soldier sprints at a 100-meter sprint very quickly. Even if they retain their physical strength for the subsequent bayonet fight, they will not give the opponent a chance to fire a second shot!

Of course, if the forces of the enemy and us are similar, few troops will launch bayonet charges directly. After all, running over a hundred meters at full speed will make individuals feel tired, and they will definitely suffer losses when fighting with bayonets.

The Russian army, whose musket performance is a scam, is willing to play like this. They cannot beat other European countries with shots, so they can only choose bayonets...

The continuous number of gray animals is the capital of the Tsarist Russian army to dare to use the 300-meter bayonet charge!

The cost of replenishing troops by the Russian army is very low, so you are not afraid of death!

If you don’t shoot a gun and launch a bayonet charge directly, you will often pay a higher price for casualties on the battlefield, such as now!

When the Hesse army launched a full-speed 100-meter sprint, the guard infantry battle lines in all four directions had become two horizontal rows of guns that could exert the maximum firepower density, and the first row was half kneeling and the second row stood.

Although three-row volleys can achieve denser firepower, the cross-section of the battlefield that can be covered by shooting will be greatly reduced. In the case of many enemies and fewer enemies, it is not as efficient as two rows of fire to kill the enemy.

If it is only arranged in a row, the firepower density is not enough, so the two rows of volleys are the most common volley formations of gun volleys in this era.

Even the British Redshirts use this volley tactic when they do not play close-range three-column volleys.

As for the tactics of alternating formations, such as the three-stage shooting method, it is actually out of date and rarely used in wild encounters, and can only be seen in offensive and defensive battles.

European powers all know that due to the speed and accuracy of the smoothbore gun, instead of maintaining long-term continuous firepower, it is better to output damage to the maximum extent in a short period of time. After all, both sides cannot stand and shoot at each other for a long time. The winning or defeat will often be decided in a few minutes!

Even shooting in the wild often causes serious casualties in one minute!

With such a short firefighting time, the three-stage shooting method will naturally be eliminated.

"Aim! Open fire!"

Bang bang bang ~

Four horizontal guns aimed at different directions, spraying a large amount of flames almost at the same time. Because the Hessian soldiers were sprinting at full speed (in order to prevent the enemy from firing a second round of volleys), when the guard infantry opened fire, the Hessian soldiers rushing in the front row had already entered a dangerous distance within 50 meters!

The result is a scene of people rushing over!

Emil looked at the vast number of friendly troops in front of him who had instantly cleared a large number of them, and couldn't help but breathe a long breath. Fortunately, he was smart and retreated for a long distance, otherwise he would definitely die unless God blessed!

The army of the Duchy of Hesse was very casualties, but they were all used to queuing up to shoot the battlefield troops. They knew that after the enemy finished a round of gunfire, as long as they were fast enough, the opponent could not shoot the second round at all.

This is true. The guard infantrymen looked at the enemy soldiers who were sprinting with all their might, and had no intention of loading ammunition. They all took out the large grenades in their arms, ignited them, and threw them hard.

The soldiers of the Principal of Hesse have already scattered and not very dense due to their full sprint, but they still suffer great losses in this wave of grenade throwing!

Many subsequent soldiers could not help but hesitate when they looked at the Shura hell scene ahead.

Then, he was followed by the last supervision team and pointed it at the musket at the warning!

There are also many officers following their own troops, holding command knives to intimidate these soldiers who stopped!

Under the bounce of the supervision team and the officers, the Hessian soldiers, who were hesitant, stepped out again and rushed forward with bayonets, including Emil, who was coughing because of the smoke.

Emil raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd around him, and found that the number of soldiers on his side was still far greater than that of the French army opposite him, and his sense of fear was slightly reduced.

A large number of people can provide stable morale to the army!

When Emil followed the flow and crossed the large amount of gunpowder smoke generated by the grenade explosion, he suddenly saw a guard infantry rushing towards him, with white smoke squirting from behind, and rushed over with a bayonet with a crazy face!

Emil looked left and right and saw eight people around him!

There was only one person on the other side, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart - the French Defense Forces were indeed all crazy!

Of course, the French Defense Forces' approach is also understandable. After all, the Hesse army has rushed up, and the small hollow square array cannot withstand several times the charge of enemy bayonets. It is estimated that the entire array has been broken by the crowd.
