Chapter 164: The Battle of Hussar Fame I (The Third Update)
"On the battlefield of the future, artillery will surely gain more and more status and proportion!" Zhao Dutian looked at the results of his artillery and sighed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The special envoy of Georges Macartney next to him agreed meaningfully: "Your Majesty's vision is really unique, we in Britain have begun to speed up the research and development of new artillery, as well as the cost of this explosive shell, we in Britain have found a way to reduce costs, and the next war should be able to be installed on a large scale!" ”
Zhao Dutian naturally understands the difference between the large-scale flowering bombs of the United Kingdom and the large-scale flowering bombs of the Han Empire!
The British Army is much larger than the Han Empire's!
Well, if you don't count those cheating Americas Self-Defense Forces......
Judging by the speed of the spread of military technology and change in Europe, as long as the British found a way to reduce the cost of flowering shells, other powers would soon follow suit......
Georges Macartney is warning himself not to intend to get involved in the hegemony of the European countries!
Zhao Dutian thought psychologically.
Although the Spanish colonial army had the advantage in the process of lining up with the American Self-Defense Forces to shoot, the killing effect of the Han Empire's artillery bombardment was so amazing that the French commander had to give an order to withdraw the two Spanish colonial infantry regiments that were about to be bombarded by the Han Empire's artillery......
If you don't retreat, you're going to collapse!
Of course, the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, who were shot by the Spanish soldiers, could not find the north, and did not have any ability to pursue......
This firefight is completely a meaningless consumption of ordinary soldiers on both sides!
However, for the French commander, this test was necessary, because he had to determine how many elite soldiers there were in the front line of the Han Imperial army.
For Zhao Dutian, the Indian Self-Defense Force, which exists like cannon fodder, consumes at least a thousand soldiers of the Spanish colonial army, and it is not a loss!
No matter how scum the soldiers of the Spanish colonial army are, it is also compared with European standards, and these Spanish colonial armies are enough to be called trump cards in any country in the Eastern world, or a colony in the Americas!
At least there is no pressure on the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, which have a larger number of people......
The French commander, after a simple formation of the team, began a real offensive!
Several battalions of French grenadiers, marching in order, with the drums of a military band, carrying flintlock pistols on their shoulders and carrying a bit of a 2 pointed cap, drove into battle!
In fact, judging from the marching procession, these elite grenadier units are not much different from the Spanish colonial army that wore a three-cornered hat before, except that one is advancing in a large horizontal column and the other is marching in columns!
It has to be said that the column march has reduced the force area a lot compared with the phalanx of the big horizontal team, and the effect of the artillery bombardment of the Han Empire has obviously become weaker.
However, the French army could not do what the Prussian army did, approaching in columns all the way to firing range, and then with strict and uniform discipline, to complete the turn and change formation!
These French grenadier units began to change formations from a distance of 100 meters, and then they were fired at by the artillery of the Han Empire, creating a large number of flying corpses!
But these French grenadier units showed a very different discipline from the Spanish colonial soldiers, and under the bombardment of the superior artillery of the Han Empire, the mutant formation was not affected in the slightest, and soon entered the firing position with a horizontal phalanx suitable for shooting!
They advanced to a distance of 50 meters with a volley from the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, and then stopped in unison, and the slapping group fired a volley!
When the French grenadiers fired the bullets from their flintlock pistols, the military drums sounded again, and the grenadiers continued to march forward like clockwork robots!
Even if it is a round of artillery salvo from the Han Empire, it can reimburse a soldier with a company size!
In just a moment, the superior artillery units of the Han Empire had already caused more than thirty percent of the casualties to these French grenadier units!
The junior officers of the French grenadier unit still firmly hold their swords and walk in the forefront, while the grenadier soldiers in the back fill the vacant seats of the dead and wounded according to the tactical regulations, and there will never be a gap in the queue of the first two platoons!
One can imagine the expressions of those soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas in the face of this situation......
Even if these soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas did not die too many in that volley!
"Oh my God! The French are coming! ”
"Ah, my god uh, what are we going to do, the other party hasn't collapsed yet!"
……
From soldiers to officers, the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, except for some neurotic people, are left with two goods that blindly reload ammunition but can't finish it......
Of course, in the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, many people behaved quite decently, drawing out their hand-to-hand cold weapons, or loading bayonets with flintlock pistols!
Soon, these soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas ushered in a bunch of 'balls' that fell from the sky and braved Mars!
After a fiery close-range explosion, the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, who were lucky enough to be alive, only had the strength to call for their mothers......
The French grenadier unit rushed forward under the artillery bombardment of the Han Empire, holding bayonets, under the attack order of the officers who were not dead in front!
"Long live the Kingdom of France!"
"Long live Louis XV!"
……
The French grenadiers shouted an uplifting hooray and rushed to the already bombed Self-Defense Forces of the Americas!
Although Zhao Dutian frowned when he saw the unbearable performance of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, he was not worried that the direction of the war would slide into the abyss, Wang Qiming and Paprov would solve this long-expected phenomenon!
When the French commander saw that the front-line troops of the Han Empire were crushed by a bayonet charge from the grenadier troops, he did not show any smiles, but frowned even more!
That's all the elite grenadiers of the entire legion!
Just let the Han Empire bombard nearly forty percent with artillery!
Of course, if this can achieve an advantage, the most important thing is that a group of troops on the second line of the Han Empire, who are also white, are stepping on the 'goose step', wearing bearskin high hats, facing the charging grenadier troops!
Naturally, the French commander could not watch his own grenadier elite suffer, and as the American Self-Defense Army suffered heavy losses and continued to retreat, the reserves of the Spanish coalition were pressed to the frontal battlefield by the French commander!
Immediately afterwards, the French commander drew out two regiments of French line infantry and pressed towards the artillery positions of the Han Empire on the flank!
At the same time, the artillery of the Franco-Spanish army also shifted its targets! (To be continued.) )
