130 The offensive begins

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, you are really wise and far-sighted, and at such a distance, the artillery of the Poles can bombard so accurately! ”

Zhao Yan was stunned and looked at the big sedan chair that could no longer be used, and muttered with round eyes.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery of the Poles did not stop, and was still bombarding the front line of the Taiping Army from time to time, Hong Tiancheng looked at the solid iron ball that deviated to ten miles away, and couldn't help but look at the cloudless clear sky, and a strange thought rose in his heart.

"Could it be that there really is a God in this world, so he punished and warned me?

Such a backward and extremely inaccurate old bronze cannon can actually hit my sedan chair from a distance of a kilometer!

Even if the target of that thing is large and more conspicuous, it is a bit ...... That's!!

Zhen Temeow's bad luck, Lao Tzu almost followed the back road of Nurhachi's post-golden tartar head in history! ”

Hong Tiancheng, who had already set off huge waves in his heart, always maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, because the landing point of the Polish artillery had already told him that not to mention aiming at the target, at a distance of thousands of meters, the Polish artillery shells even entered the Taiping army's military formation.

As for the 5 Ottoman siege cannons with an ultra-long range and terrifying caliber, which bombarded the large sedan chair carried by 108 people into garbage with just one iron ball, more than ten minutes have passed, and the cannon body has just returned to its position, and I don't know how long it will take to shoot the second shell.

This kind of Ottoman siege cannon is also worshipping the caliber and ignoring all other factors, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to manufacture, the hit rate is not even as good as the small-caliber old-fashioned artillery, and the loading rate is even more pitting to make people drowsy, except for bombarding the fixed target of the huge city fortress, it is useless.

The deterrent significance in the field is far greater than the actual killing efficiency, but unfortunately, the Poles are destined to miscalculate, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army headquarters who are die-hard are not even afraid of death, how can they be afraid of a bunch of cannons like a huge cannon?

Of course, not being afraid is not afraid, but the Taiping Army does not have any artillery, and just standing like this and being bombarded is obviously not something Hong Tiancheng likes to see.

"Let's attack, send Huang Yongkai's first regiment up, Wu Fa's second regiment will respond in the rear, and Li Zuosheng and Qiu Huiyan's third and fourth regiments will be ready to attack at any time as reserves."

"Your Majesty, are we going to launch a general attack?" Zhao Yan asked.

Naturally, the matter of the order does not need to be done by Hong Tiancheng, the king of heaven, it is all the personal guard battalion commander Zhao Remnant is responsible for sending people to convey it, as the direct commander of the four regiments, he must stay in his own troops during the war to be responsible for dealing with emergencies, and it is impossible to stay by Hong Tiancheng's side and listen to orders at any time.

Therefore, Hong Tiancheng's orders were basically directly told to Zhao Remnant, and then Zhao Remnant was responsible for scheduling.

Zhao Yan and other generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom headquarters also knew that His Majesty the Heavenly King was an amateur military commander, and after the general order was issued, the specific implementation still depended on their own cognition to adjust.

For example, Hong Tiancheng only arranged who would attack first and who would attack later, but how to attack would depend on the front-line commander Huang Yongkai and others to play on their own, otherwise, what use would they have?

After all, Hong Tiancheng's level is not comparable to that of Napoleon.

"Our soldiers are brave and fearless, but they are far inferior in numbers to the Polish-Lithuanian coalition on the opposite side, and if the war drags into attrition, we are not at all the opponent of the main forces of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition, and only by crushing the Polish-Lithuanian coalition front as soon as possible can we achieve a decisive victory."

Hong Tiancheng replied with an indifferent expression.

He did not feel impatient with Zhao Ran's problem, only by letting Zhao Zan's combat intentions clearly know his combat intentions, he could better understand and inform the other Taiping army generals, and let the entire army understand what his specific combat objectives were.

"But, Your Majesty, the Poles' cavalry force far outnumbered ours, and if we attacked so rashly, the losses would be great."

Hong Tiancheng looked at Zhao Yan solemnly: "Tell the others that I only need to see victory, and I won't care about other things, understand?" ”

Zhao Yan's expression was solemn, and he saluted the Taiping Army and stood up and said: "Your Majesty understands, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the Taiping Army will definitely defeat the main force of Poland and Lithuania, and Dingding Polesiye (the name of the region where the city of Mozyr is located, bordering the territory of Kiev in the south and the Black Rus region of Lithuania in the north). ”

"Hmm." Hong Tiancheng nodded with satisfaction, regained his expressionless expression, squinted and raised his monoculars to look at the artillery positions of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army.

As the generals of the Taiping Army headquarters received the order, the melodious horn sound and marching drums sounded, and the Taiping Army's main formation, which was lined up in a simple horizontal column, walked out of the Taiping Army's elite musketeers marching in a horizontal formation in a standard line and lined up in six horizontal columns!

During the six months that Hong Tiancheng was in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in addition to the daily physical examination, he never gave up the tactical training of the army.

In Hong Tiancheng's 'reprimand', the generals of the Taiping Army quickly understood the essence of line tactics, and the simple and easy-to-use line tactics were quickly implemented among the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army.

At this time, the line formation used by the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army was a kind of direct attack phalanx, lined up in a thin horizontal formation with no depth, and the thickness was only six rows of soldiers.

However, the grassroots officers in front of the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army are not used to boost morale and highlight the leading role of officers, but to guide the soldiers and maintain the level of the ranks of friendly troops.

In order to keep the overall forward speed synchronized, the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army were also required to have a high degree of uniformity in their leg lifts during training, although they did not have the exaggerated high leg lifts of the honor guards in later generations, but they were also more rigid and dignified than ordinary people's walking.

In addition to the marching drums fired from the rear, the crisp and melodious whistle sound was heard from time to time in the Taiping army's military formation, which was a unique grassroots method of giving orders in the Taiping army, and only the elite musketeers of the Taiping army who had undergone special training could understand it.

The attack of the Taiping army soon fell into the eyes of Marshal Jan Skzhetuski, and the Polish commander with a telescope in his hand, looking at the advancing queue of the Taiping army, couldn't help but think of three words - Swedes!

The line tactics of the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army are very similar to the horizontal formation of Swedish musketeers after Gustav's army!
