094 Platoon guns
Soon after the Polish army appeared, an offensive formation was laid out with a phalanx of more than 500 Polish Germanic infantry as the main body.
Wang Ziming was not mistaken, the other party planned to attack more than 4,000 people on his own side with a mere 1,000 troops!
The Polish attacking formation on the opposite side was ordinary, with a mixed infantry phalanx of pikemen and musketeers in the center and musketeers in the front and pikemen in the rear.
Corresponding to the left flank of Wang Ziming's side was the right flank of the Polish army, with Polish hussars and Polish armored Cossack cavalry!
On the other side were the lowest Polish Volunteers of the 2nd Order in the Polish army.
The muffled sound of trumpets suddenly sounded from the Polish army, and the phalanx of Polish Germanic infantry marched towards the side of Prince Ming.
The direction of their attack was actually in front of Wang Ziming's senior Swedish town militia!
Because Wang Ziming has a large number of people, the cross-section of the battlefield is wider than that of the Polish army, and in this case, the Polish army still takes the initiative to attack, isn't it just the opportunity to be semi-surrounded and beaten by Wang Ziming and the Kohl coalition army?
Of course, the premise is that the infantry phalanx that is head-on with the attack of the Polish army can withstand the first round of the opponent's attack!
After the infantry phalanx of the Polish army advanced, the cavalry on both flanks also slowly advanced, guarding the sides of the infantry phalanx.
If Wang Ziming's side wanted to send cavalry to flank and outflank at this time, they must first defeat the cavalry on both flanks of the Polish army.
Directly opposite the left flank of the Polish army formation was the Swedish dragoons on the right flank of Cole's team, although the Polish volunteer cavalry was very poorly equipped and only 2nd rank, but the Swedish dragoons did not seem to be much stronger......
The most important thing is that the Swedish dragoons did not have an advantage in numbers, and if they rushed over, they would simply not be able to defeat the Polish volunteers in a short time!
On the left flank of Wang Ziming corresponds to the Polish armored Cossack cavalry led by the Polish hussars, although they are few in number, who knows what the fight will be like?
And it looks like the morale of the Polish army is very high!
In the other dimension, the ability of these soldiers to bear casualties Wang Ziming had no specific concept in his heart.
After all, they come from the camp of order, not the camp of chaos that advocates 'freedom'.
The other dimension comes from the game scene, in the horseback riding and slashing fire and sword, there may be deserters on the battlefield, but they are definitely a minority!
An army will often suffer more than eighty percent casualties when it is defeated, and sometimes it is normal for the whole army to be wiped out!
Originally, this was just the game setting, Wang Ziming didn't feel anything, and the soldiers didn't run away and resisted stubbornly when they played the game, and it was quite cool to kill, but when they were placed in a different space, Wang Ziming felt very painful......
If the armies of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania in the other space on the opposite side are all fearless to death, the losses will be great when the battle is fought!
It didn't take long for Wang Ziming to know why the Polish army would take the initiative to attack!
I saw the Polish Germanic musketeers lining up in a thin row of guns, stopping beyond the effective range of the senior Swedish town militia, and then raising their advanced reed wheel guns at the command of the leading officer......
A puff of white smoke drifted by, and dozens of senior Swedish town militiamen standing in the first row suddenly fell!
For the first time, Wang Ziming saw the huge gap between the reed wheel gun and the arquebus!
Fortunately, the difference in effective range between the reed wheel gun and the arquebus gun was not very large.
Under the urgent order conveyed by Zhao Ritian, the senior Swedish town militia stepped forward over the corpses of their own men and the wounded who were wailing that were not dead.
With such a move, the original horizontal and vertical formation suddenly became distorted, but fortunately, the overall queue was not chaotic.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ziming couldn't help but rejoice that they had been promoted to the Swedish senior town militia again, if it was an ordinary Swedish town militia, no matter how neat the queue was, it would be chaotic in an instant.
While the senior Swedish town militia on Wang Ziming's side was advancing, the infantry phalanx on Koll's side also slowly moved forward, outflanking the Polish army's infantry phalanx.
This is the advantage of a large number of troops, which can take advantage of a wider cross-section of the battlefield to allow the infantry brigade to outflank the enemy!
However, the distance on the side of Cole's team is a bit far, and it will take some time to outflank and turn, so in order to maintain the integrity of the formation, the infantry can only walk slowly and leisurely......
As soon as the infantry lost the tightness of their formation, and the cavalry of the Polish army charged up, Cole's team was tragic......
This is the reason why everyone on the battlefield knows that walking is very slow and will delay the fighters, but they still order the soldiers to move forward step by step.
Tight formation is more important than anything else!
As Cole's team slowly moved forward and turned around, Wang Ziming's senior Swedish town militia had already taken advantage of the gap in the loading of the Polish Germanic musketeers on the opposite side and closed into the effective range of the arquebus.
The Polish Germanic musketeers were able to depress dozens of veteran Swedish town militiamen in one salvo because they did not shoot in turns, but all the muskets were fired together!
Naturally, they fell into a reloading gap, allowing Wang Ziming's senior Swedish town militia to cross the gap in the effective range of the muskets between the two sides without being injured.
"Aim ~ Fire!"
Bang bang bang......
The veteran town militia of Sweden finally fired the first round of guns, more than 1,600 people divided into eight platoons, and there were 200 muskets in one row, which was no numerical disadvantage compared to the muzzles of the salvo fired by the Polish Germanic musketeers on the opposite side!
The Polish Germanic musketeers who were loading suddenly fell to the ground in a dangling manner, and the hit rates of both sides were clear at a glance......
After all, everyone is just entering the effective range of shooting, far from the extent of a salvo at close range, and the hit rate is very low.
The Polish Germanic musketeers on the opposite side were able to put down dozens of senior Swedish town militiamen at once, not only because of the quality of the muskets, but also because of the big difference in the shooting level of the musketeers on both sides!
After all, one is a Tier 3 Musketeer and the other is a Tier 2 Musketeer......
In order to make up for the gap in the shooting level of the two sides, Wang Ziming had no choice but to let the senior Swedish town militia continue to move forward and fire a salvo close to his face!
At that distance, neither marksmanship nor musket quality became unimportant......
After the first row of senior Swedish town militia shot, each phalanx took the middle line as the dividing point, and the Swedish senior town militia in the first row turned left and right with the fired arquebus, jogged to both sides, and gave way to the senior Swedish town militia in the second row!
Then, the first platoon of senior Swedish town militiamen jogged through the gaps between the phalanxes to the last row of the phalanx to regain their footing and start reloading ammunition!
By this time, the second platoon of senior Swedish town militiamen had already taken three steps forward, and at the command of the temporary captain, they once again raised their arquebuses and aimed them at the opposite side.
Wang Ziming did not appreciate the rotational shooting method of his own army, but stared at the Polish Germanic musketeers who were beaten with a green morale bar!
