040 First Shot
"Hello, Major, I am Rolf, the major adjutant of the Bavarian Corps..."
Before Rolf had finished introducing himself, Polkha suddenly interrupted: "Let Resarith return to his original place and continue to move forward, otherwise I will include the Bavarian Corps in the ranks of the enemy!
If you want to betray the great Baron Levi, you must be prepared for death!”
Rolf opened his mouth slightly and looked at Boercha in a daze.
He was very curious about how the other party linked a mere baron to the word "great"!
When I came into contact with it, I didn’t find that these people were mentally abnormal.
Could it be that after turning against each other, the other party reveals its true nature?
No wonder I think the loyalty of the Black Dragon Legion to Li Wei is strange. It turns out that these people are crazy people who are similar to the church's crazy believers!
How did Li Wei do it?
witchcraft?
The priest’s blessing?
Or some kind of secret experiment?
At this moment, Rolf thought a lot, but he only spoke one word: "Okay."
Seeing that Boercha was still staring at him, Rolf quickly added: "Sir, please rest assured. I will convey the original words to Resarith, so that he will return to his lost path and will not have a conflict with your subordinates.
After all, we are our own people.”
Polkha nodded slightly and asked the guards to let Rolf go.
When Rolf returned to Resarith, he immediately reported with a bad look on his face: "Sir, that Polkha is a lunatic. He actually asked us to disarm and surrender to him, and then escort us to see Levi!
Sir, I suspect that Boercha has sent someone to contact Li Wei's main force. We have not had much time left. Hurry up and attack Boercha and leave.
Boercha doesn't plan to give us a way out, we will make him die a bad death!”
Resarith looked at Rolf: "Polcha really wants us to disarm?"
Rolf was a little guilty, but his face remained unchanged. Anyway, he was sure that Resarith's temper could not continue to send people to contact him, not to mention that his identity was here, Resarith would not dare to kill him!
"Bolcha's extra admiration for Levi was completely angered by his actions."
Rolf replied unwaveringly.
"Forget it, I've already broken up anyway. As long as Boercha is not a fool, he will definitely send someone to notify Li Wei's main force.
We don't have much time left.
Get ready to attack!”
Lesarith was too lazy to deal with a villain like Rolf, so he turned around and issued a series of orders to the officers around him.
Soon, the sound of military drums sounded, and the second lieutenant of the Bavarian Corps walked in front of the phalanx of the company under his command, holding a sword, and leading the soldiers behind him to advance step by the drum beat.
After Boer checked it, he was not surprised at all, as if he was sure that Resarith could not submit.
The military drums under Boercha followed, and the drums of the two were different.
The military music of the Bavarian Corps is the military song of the Principality of Bavaria, and the military music of the Black Dragon Corps is just a drum beat with some rhythms.
This kind of drum beat is not a song, but it is enough to maintain the rhythm of the soldiers moving forward.
The reason why the army of a great country chooses a certain piece as a military drum beat is mainly to enhance the army's cohesion and patriotic enthusiasm, rather than adding the music to the stronger the rhythm.
The Black Dragon Legion does not need military music to enhance cohesion, so it is naturally the simplest rhythm drum beats to use.
The officers of the Black Dragon Legion knew that their best tactic was to charge three rows of volleys and bayonets.
Other tactics are relatively unfamiliar to them. If they shoot alternately, the basic line infantry with weak queue capabilities will easily go chaotic. If they shoot in a row, the loading efficiency of the basic line infantry is not high, and even the standards for regular troops cannot meet.
Even if it is a bayonet, the capabilities of the basic line infantry are similar to those of the militia.
It is not good for guns, no queues, and no bayonets. A basic line infantry that is useless except morale can only use three close-range volleys!
The first shot does not require testing the efficiency of loading, and the charges together does not require considering the bayonet combat ability of individual soldiers.
The combat effect of the three-row volley has been confirmed by the British, and the only thing they need is courage.
Of course, in this era, the army, queue, proficient use of muskets, bayonets, etc. can be continuously improved by training and war experience, but courage is more metaphysical.
After all, humans are creatures that are greedy for life and fear death!
Resarith had never seen the battle of the Black Dragon Legion, but Resarith had seen the scenes during the training of the Black Dragon Legion and felt that the Black Dragon Legion was just a quasi-regular army that was slightly stronger than the militia.
If the Black Dragon Legion had not won the Battle of Vanne, Resarith would not have looked at the Black Dragon Legion at all.
This is from the pride of an old colonel.
At this time, Lesarith saw that Polkha's troops were actually walking towards his team and attacking face to face, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"The courage of the Black Dragon Legion is admirable. With less fighting more, the formation of soldiers is not at all chaotic."
Resarith, holding a monocular telescope, looked at the soldiers under Polkha who were holding his head and chest proudly, and thought to himself.
Rolf did not participate in the battle, and his identity was enough to stand beside Resarith to enjoy a safe position.
And Resarith didn't want to deliberately kill the "contact person" of the Grand Duke of Bavaria.
The distance between the two sides was not far, and it quickly narrowed to a hundred meters. This was the standard distance for muskets to shoot at this period.
Ordinary troops stop at this distance and raise guns to shoot.
Only elite troops will be placed near 50 meters away before firing. Those who can do this are old troops that have been trained by various countries for at least several years.
Although musketeers in the era of queuing to shoot were easy to train and claimed to be able to go to the battlefield in three months, it also takes a long time to train and consolidate. It is often several years before an elite force can be trained to advance in artillery fire.
Those who have been trained for three months can only be considered cannon fodder...
After entering a hundred meters, the Bavarian Corps did not stop, and the Polkha team did not stop either.
The British guys' record is vivid. Everyone knows that the closer the first shot is to the enemy's target, the better the effect of shooting. If you can hit the musket in front of the enemy's big-faced plate and fire, basically the opponent will collapse in one round of volleys!
Polkha had only one order to the officers under his command - he could walk until he could see the whites of the soldiers in the front row of the enemy, and then stopped and fired in a volley!
The troops of a thousand people were all spread out in a row and formed a row of three horizontal lines, without any depth!
The first shot is either life or death!
Chapter completed!
