The Scottish Highland Infantry Regiment is not just the size of a single regiment, and in the 18th century, the British concept of an infantry regiment was different from the concept of regimental troops in other countries, and the British did not list the 'regiment' as a clear formation, but preferred to list it as an improvised, independent combat unit, or an infantry regiment grouped together with soldiers with the same geographical or other factors.

There is a big difference in the number of infantry regiments of the British, a bit similar to the wartime corps and even group army settings in the mature military system in the future, when a thousand troops independently perform a certain combat mission, they will be called infantry regiments, and the same is true for 5,000 troops.

The concept of fixed regimental numbers is mature, in fact, it comes from the Napoleonic period, before which the basic combat units of various countries were used to matching with 'battalion size', of course, there are also some countries with slightly more advanced military concepts, which limited the concept of regimental troops in advance to meet the needs of the increasing number of troops.

The reason why the British limited the number of regimental size late, mainly because the British have always implemented the elite small-scale army training model, and the native army in peacetime is even only maintained at about 50,000, and the regular army in its heyday is only more than 100,000, and the mercenaries and indigenous troops in each colony are not counted by the British government, unless some indigenous troops tell the British government with victorious achievements that they deserve the attention of the British, they will be awarded their own establishment and flag, such as the Nepalese mercenaries in history, etc.

This is why the British used their strength to feed in the face of the two opium wars of the Manchu Empire, which were huge at that time, and sent tens of thousands of troops one after another, including a large number of Indian Asan and even Chinese musket regiments.

It's not that the British despise the Manchus at that time, after all, the millions of troops on the books of the Manchu Empire are still very deterrent, not to mention that the Manchus are still fighting on their own, but the British didn't have much land at that time, and it was already the limit to be able to take out tens of thousands of people, of course, the collapse of the Manchu Empire so easily was that the British in the Opium War received a big gift package.

The Manchu Empire, which was completely defeated in the Opium War, was not occupied by the British as they did with other colonies, and a large part of the reason was that the size of the British army was really not good......

Since then, it can be seen that the British can take out 30,000 elites to land in France, which is really a desperate attempt to destroy Lin Haoda, after all, compared to the British colonial territories in the world, including indigenous troops and mercenaries, the British government can not deploy many land forces, and it is precisely because of this that the British have never had the idea of dominating the European continent from beginning to end!

The British know very well that even if the British Isles are squeezed dry, all the great powers in Europe will be reduced to ruins, and they will not be able to become the hegemon of the European land, and the level of civilization and science and technology of European countries is not much worse than that of the British, and the military systems of many countries are even more advanced than those of the British.

The British thought that the 200,000 allied troops led by the Kingdom of Sardinia were destined to attract Lin Haoda's small main force stationed in France to resist.

Of course, for the British Army, which has always adhered to the policy of elite soldiers, even the regular Redwood Army establishment on the ground is enough to be called an elite army.

Whether it is salary or training discipline, it must be higher than the ordinary regular army of the European continent.

However, the British don't know that Lin Haoda is from the later generations, and even the current Kingdom of Sardinia, that is, the Italians of later generations, how gratifying the combat effectiveness is, and the British world hegemon is now thriving, and there is no time to climb to the top and decline!

Naturally, Lin Haoda put the main enemy on the British, and even did not hesitate to use the risk that 50,000 Imperial Guards were likely to be crippled or even destroyed, to completely cut off the claws of the British to the French mainland!

Lin Haoda expected it to be right, the Scottish Highland Infantry Regiment stationed on the flank to resist the combined attack of the superior Imperial Guard infantry and cavalry, once again proved to General Carlson what it means to die!

In the era of queuing to shoot, the simple cavalry charge has been listed as an unreasonable tactic by the mainstream powers of the European continent, the cavalry must always be equipped with infantry to play the maximum role, no matter how bad it is, it is to cover with artillery first, and then use cavalry to charge, if you simply use cavalry to charge the formation, even if the enemy infantry does not list the hollow phalanx that restrains the cavalry, only uses the ordinary infantry phalanx to shoot and list the bayonet horizontal formation, it is enough to charge the cavalry troops to suffer heavy losses!

Because of this, General Carlsen did his best to pull out a large number of Imperial Guard infantry to cooperate with 5,000 sabre light cavalry to attack, however, this group of redwood troops who had changed guards with a lot of losses, wore checkered skirts and wore colorful matryoshka dolls that only women would wear in later generations, and the Scottish Highland infantry dressed as a proper semi-women's bigwig in the 21st century repelled the Imperial Guard infantry charging and attacking again and again with an unswerving platoon of guns!

Under the melodious Scottish bagpipes, the performance of the Imperial Guard against the Scottish Highland Infantry was even worse than when it fought against the elite of the British Redwoods.

The Scottish Highland Infantry, dressed in a feminine manner in later generations, played with the tenacity of an iron-blooded man, which is why the Scottish Highland Infantry were regarded by British commanders as the best of the best, and they were able to retain their national style - skirts and suit stockings, unlike the Scottish bagpipes of other British units.

Not because the British had a good policy of national integration towards the Scots, but because they proved their courage with a lot of blood in battle after battle!

In the era of queuing to be shot, courage and a sense of honor often became the most important criterion for judging a unit, and these Scottish Highland infantry even looked down on ordinary British Redwoods in ordinary days, often wearing checkered skirts to beat up British Redwoods dressed like gentlemen......

After the Imperial Guard infantry was unable to make any gaps in the Scottish Highland infantry positions, the front-line officers finally lost their patience and let the cavalry and infantry units attack at the same time, desperately abandoning the usual tactics, leaving the Imperial Guard with little time left.
