“Prepare for the offense!

The first person to cross the enemy's defense line will receive an additional 100 francs!

Take down the enemy's perimeter defense line, and all the officers and soldiers participating in the war will receive an additional reward of 50 francs each!"

As the rumbling artillery fire was preparing, the provincial coalition forces that had already stepped into the frontier positions were responsible for the first attack wave team of three battalions, listening to the propaganda shouting loudly at the top of their voices.

This time, the members and capitalists from the provincial coalition were really cruel.

You should know that the francs have not depreciated significantly today, and the monetary system under the gold standard is still very strong!

Therefore, one franc in this period is about 60 to 70 yuan of the currency of the motherland in Li Wei’s previous life!

After the provincial coalition forces streamlined the number and merged with a small number of people, each battalion-level team was full or even over-the-subsidized. The first wave of offensive echelons composed of three battalions was nearly two thousand.

If you really take down the outer defense line, it would be tens of thousands of francs...

The currency of this era is still very valuable, and those with assets of tens of thousands of francs can definitely be called the rich class.

In Paris, the capital of the Kingdom of France, the average annual salary of civil servants is less than 1,500 francs...

The monthly salary of farmers without land is only about 3 francs!

It is conceivable how tempting the rewards offered this time are to the mud legs below.

The morale was too great, and many people were even depressed. The soldiers who were ranked first in the attack wave had their eyes red when they heard the reward.

No matter what purpose they are coming to join the army and fight, money is the harvest that these people desire the most.

None of them!

They all know that the so-called peripheral defense line is the circular ring of chest fortifications that can be seen in the naked eye.

By stepping over and holding on to this fortification, everyone will get the money.

After all, in the current Kingdom of France, civil servants are truly high-level positions. The income of ordinary workers and citizens is not worthy of carrying shoes to civil servants...

This is completely different from the 21st century in Li Wei's previous life.

Who said that in this era, agricultural production is the main focus?

Becoming a civil servant can be said to be the highest dream of most civilian families in this era.

Amid the rumbling guns, the offensive echelon successfully entered a position 200 meters away from the chest base defense line.

Subsequently, in order to prevent accidental injury, the artillery of the provincial coalition forces behind no longer fired, but behind the brigade of infantry, a mortar carrying several people was following them. They would provide close-range fire cover when their infantry brigade attacked.

This kind of mortar is the real weapon of siege in this era. After bending parabolas, after mathematical geometry calculations, the cannonballs can be shot into the trench outside. There is no need to worry about the cannon bombardment on the trench!

The withdrawal of the battalion from the war system is closely related to the development of mortars and mathematics.

Knowledge is the power to change the world!

Mathematics, physics and chemistry are the ladders that lead a country to its peak.

After the artillery of the Provincial Alliance Army was extinguished, the guard infantry hiding in the anti-aircraft hole quickly moved behind the chest base defense line, and the guard infantry hiding behind the chest base poked out their heads at the same time.

A sharpshooter shot at enemy infantry within 200 meters in their respective shooting positions.

The dense infantry phalanx is like a living target in the eyes of sharpshooters. Basically, a bullet will not be wasted. Someone will fall down when the gunfires are fired!

If these sharpshooters were not using the complicated and laborious front-mounted rifle guns, and replaced with the later semi-automatic rifles, the provincial coalition of these three battalions would not be able to reach the chest barrier defense line at all!

The shooting skills of these sharpshooters have reached the level of snipers in later generations. They are still very experienced snipers. Within the effective range of the breech gun, they can reach more than 90% of the hit rate.

While moving forward, the provincial coalition infantry that had the first attack wave continued to fall. If it were usual, these infantry from the miscellaneous army had begun to become panic, and it was not impossible for them to even disperse their formations.

But now, they have been stimulated by money, continue to step forward with bullets, and suddenly accelerated their pace when they were about to step within a hundred meters.

After they entered a distance of 100 meters, they did not stop shooting, because the guard infantry behind the chest base had not opened fire, and they were hiding behind the chest base, with only a few officers responsible for observation showing their heads.

After the enemy brigade entered a distance of 50 meters, the guard infantry leaned out amid the officer's roar and pulled the trigger at the infantry who was swarming in the first attack wave of the provincial coalition forces.

A piece of white smoke floated by, and the first wave of infantry attacking forward suddenly fell down more than half of the people!

The provincial coalition infantry, who was stimulated by money, woke up instantly and raised his gun to fight back in panic.

Soon, these provincial coalition infantry discovered that the enemy on the opposite side had a speed of loading that was far higher than them. They fired one bullet on average, and the enemy on the opposite side could fire two bullets!

Under the same cross-section, the provincial coalition infantry in the attack faced far fewer enemies than their own, but was suppressed by firepower...

The Black Dragon Legion in Rennes did not even use artillery!

By shooting alone, the provincial coalition infantry of the three battalions could not move forward to cross the life and death network.

Guard infantry with peak loading ability can fire four to five bullets per minute on average. If they perform well, they can occasionally reach a hand speed of six rounds per minute!

You should know that during the training of Frederick the Great, the best result of the line infantry using smoothbore guns was 5 bullets per minute.

This is a result on the training ground, not on the battlefield!

Even if a person has good psychological quality, he will never be able to perform on the battlefield.

In this era, veterans used smoothbore guns to shoot at the battlefield at an average rate of fire, which is about three rounds per minute.

The premise is that the veteran will not experience physical incongruity due to fear.

If you make a mistake during loading, let alone three shots per minute, you can't even hit one shot per minute...

In the era of queuing and shooting, after every battle, you can find all kinds of muskets damaged by the blow-off, as well as unlucky guys who "death himself" because of the blow-off...

When people are extremely afraid, they often make many low-level and childish mistakes.

In the era of queuing and shooting, standing upright for the enemy to shoot while loading bullets is really a test of the fragile hearts of human beings...

However, the Guards infantry are fearless of death, so the level they perform is completely consistent with the training ground. Even if the most elite rapid-fire veterans in Prussia come, the firepower of the same number of people cannot suppress the Guards infantry, let alone these miscellaneous troops?
