"Onward! Stay in formation! The two horses walked in the forefront, the captain of the hundred-man team walked in the center of the queue, and the original small horizontal phalanx gradually turned into a shallow armor horizontal line and moved forward.

The passionate drum beat coordinates the footsteps of the soldiers, and it may not be difficult to walk in the queue, but if you want thousands of people to walk in a horizontal and vertical queue at the same time, it will take a long time to train in the queue, and the soldiers on the battlefield need to face the rain of bullets to get out of this queue, compared to the honor guard, they also need a strong and fearless heart and a rigid and rational brain.

The soldiers who queued up to shoot in the era were under much more pressure than the soldiers of the honor guard in later generations, and it is a completely different concept to walk in the queue when they know that they are not in danger and when they know that bullets are constantly being fired from the other side, and the soldier actors in the movie can do it so neatly just because they know that they will not really die, and on the battlefield in reality, how many soldiers can maintain that indifferent expression?

Most of the soldiers are still driven forward by the rear overseers and the dead ducks of the officers in the front row, from an emotional point of view, the officers walk in front of the soldiers, they have nothing to complain about, from a rational point of view, turn back and destroy the formation When the deserters will be executed at the first time, it is almost a mortal situation, it is better to step forward against the rain of bullets, at least that way can fight luck.

People are lucky!

In the face of the thin battle line of the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition also stopped shelling, obviously, the artillery they had was not good, and they did not dare to fire at the same time when their own side attacked for fear of accidental injury.

However, the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition did not think of lining up with the main force of the Taiping army to be shot, the result of the Battle of Mozyri was obvious to all, and no matter how brainless the commander was, he knew what a brainless decision it was to shoot at the Taiping army.

After the Battle of Mozyri, the Poles and Lithuanians deeply studied the reasons for their defeat and attributed most of the reasons for the defeat to musket performance and tactical methods.

To put it simply, in the Battle of Mozyri, the main force of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition should not use arquebuses to shoot at the flintlock pistols of the Taiping army, and as a result, the strength advantage of the musketeers of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition army was fully equalized by the performance of the guns and even put them in a weak position.

The secondary reason was that the Poles and Lithuanians believed that they should not use their own shortcomings against the enemy's strengths in the Battle of Moziri.

The greatest advantage of the Polish-Lithuanian army was cavalry, and the greatest advantage of the Taiping army was the output of musket firepower...... At least, that's how the Poles and Lithuanians analyzed the reasons for the defeat in the Battle of Mozyri!

Knowing what is wrong is a necessary quality for all ruling groups, and no one dares to be careless in an existential war, so the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition set the tone of the battle before the battle began - the cavalry was the main musketeer.

When the infantry line of the Taiping Army moved forward, a large number of cavalry groups suddenly poured out of the army formation of the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition, and more than half of the main force of the tens of thousands of Lithuanian aristocratic coalition troops were cavalry troops, including Lithuanian knights and noble children, knights, mercenary cavalry, Lithuanian Tatar riders and even a small number of Cossack cavalry loyal to the Lithuanian nobles!

The Lithuanian nobles gathered almost all the warriors who could fight on horseback to assemble in this battle, but the traditional Lithuanian hussars were not very numerous, as most of the Lithuanian hussars died in the Battle of Mozyri......

However, this did not delay the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition to give full play to their cavalry superiority, and in front of the infantry, especially in front of the seemingly thin horizontal infantry battle line, it was enough to charge the cavalry!

"Lithuanian warriors, let us use our swords to tell the yellow-skinned Tatars on the other side who is the true master of this land! Draw your sword and attack!! ”

In a strange scream, the cavalry group of the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition army drove the war horses and rumbled towards the infantry battle line of the Taiping Army!

It has to be said that the commander of the Lithuanian aristocratic coalition army chose the timing of the attack very appropriately, he knew that the strength of the two sides had a certain advantage in the Taiping army, and Hong Tiancheng was on the attacking side, so he would inevitably take the initiative to send troops to attack, so at the beginning, he just put the miscellaneous infantry on the front line to create a posture of full defense.

It wasn't until a large number of infantry of the Taiping Army poured up in a thin battle line close to a distance of two hundred meters that a large number of Lithuanian cavalry suddenly rushed out from the rear, and the Lithuanian infantry, who had already been ordered to put on a posture, moved to both sides to give way to a wide passage, and the Lithuanian cavalry group swarmed forward from this passage and rushed to the Taiping infantry battle line close at hand!

The distance of more than 200 meters is really just a short distance for the cavalry who charged!

"Hehe, it seems that our opponents have also learned to be obedient, and they know how to use tactics to deceive, the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is really a country of cavalry, so many elite cavalry were killed in the Battle of Mozyri, how long has it been, and thousands of cavalry have been gathered, looking at their riding and charging posture, it is obviously not a temporary patchwork of mounted infantry, our 500 Swedish dragoons have no advantage over them in equestrianism."

Hong Tiancheng is not worried.

"Your Majesty, in this region of the Great Plain of Eastern Europe, there is no shortage of warriors who can ride horses, as long as there is money and righteousness, whether it is the Polish regime or the Lithuanian land snake, it is not difficult to pull out an elite cavalry."

Zhao Yan echoed with a serious analysis on the side.

"Oh? Then why didn't there be any local cavalry to join our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Hong Tiancheng asked curiously after hearing this.

"This ......" Zhao Yan hesitated with a slightly embarrassed face, and replied in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Your Majesty the Heavenly King, this is mainly because we have looted the occupied area too ruthlessly, and even those horse bandits can't get along in our territory, and the mercenaries don't have a good impression of the reputation of our Taiping Army......

This claim was supported by more than ninety percent of the lords of Eastern Europe! ”

The corners of Hong Tiancheng's mouth twitched slightly, his vision turned to the battlefield again, and he couldn't help cursing angrily in his heart: "Damn European whitekew, one day I will make your mercenary world cut off!" ”
