"Enemy attack! Lined up in a phalanx! "The outpost company of the American Home Guard, which numbered more than 100 people, began to gather according to the tactical drill during training after discovering a large number of rebels in civilian clothing and armed with weapons on the horizon!

At the same time, the two war horses used for communication in this outpost company quickly left the large army with the communication corps and ran towards the rear!

Most of the company's men deployed a defensive phalanx on the spot to resist the invasion of the enemy!

This is the tactics of the Han Empire's army in the march in the face of the rebel army with poor combat effectiveness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Due to the weak combat effectiveness of the rebel army, and the will to fight was not too high under the bewitchment of the liberation movement of the Han Empire, therefore, the main force of the Han Empire simply sent a powerful search company similar to the Houshi, with more than 100 people as a unit, to conduct all-round reconnaissance and sweep in front of the main army!

When encountering a small group of rebels, this company can be solved on the spot, and when encountering a large group of rebels, send mounted communication soldiers to inform the rear and wait for help on the spot!

Of course, if any company is lucky and encounters tens of thousands of main forces of the rebel army, as long as this company can delay the main force of the rebel army for a moment and a half, it will be a great achievement!

You must know that in the march of the army, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to transfer, and a small team of people can instantly turn to completely withdraw from the battlefield, but if a brigade of thousands or even tens of thousands of people wants to turn around, in the absence of radio communication, the commander will issue an order and reach the ears of every soldier, which is a huge and time-consuming project!

After all, at this time, communication basically depends on roaring......

With tens of thousands of troops, it will take a long time just for the correspondent to run from the front team to the rear team on horseback!

Moreover, even if the communicator runs out and delivers the order, it is impossible for the soldiers to collectively turn left and right like robots, and then continue to move forward in the same formation......

At this time, the quality and ability of the grassroots officers are reflected, and they are responsible for organizing the team to ensure that when the soldiers change direction, try to avoid confusion, after all, this is not a refugee group, and it is enough to turn around in a hulala!

The importance of formation to the army is self-evident, even on the march, it is very important!

If it is like a group of refugees, then it is better that there is no enemy ambush, otherwise, it only takes a small number of enemies to make a surprise attack, and the troops in the formation of the refugee group will be chaotic without a fight, and the rout will be inexplicable......

This is the reason why the army of the Han Empire, confident that relying on more than a hundred people, can delay the main force of the rebel army!

Even if the main force of the rebel army suddenly encountered these powerful search battalions, and did not want to receive the fire, they immediately turned around, and the time spent by tens of thousands of people was enough for the main force of the Han State to find its specific location!

The march of the army has traces, as long as the reason is caught, it is a matter of time before the main force of the rebel army is caught and caught by it, unless the main force of the rebel army burrows into the high mountains and jungles that are not inhabited!

It is indeed good for Tibetans in the ravines and ravines, but tens of thousands of people get into it, what do they eat?

Can you still feed tens of thousands of people by hunting?

In that case, the Han army would save trouble, surround the ravines where the rebel army was located, and wait for them to come out by themselves......

The ravines and ravines here do not refer to the revolutionary base areas established by Taizu back then, but the real poor mountains and remote areas!

Even if the leader of the rebel army wants to endure hardship, he has to ask the people below if they are willing to gnaw on the leaves!

The cohesion of the rebel army and the revolutionary fighters who were armed with Marxism are two different creatures......

As the heads of no less than a thousand people appeared on the horizon, the captain of the search company, who was originally full of confidence, gradually showed a look of horror and despair in his eyes......

The soldiers of the American Native Guard are not the elite of the Han Guard!

As long as the company commander casually glanced at the expressions of the soldiers under his command, he knew that his morale was shaken before the battle began!

It's a wilderness encounter with no defenses!

"Everyone, hold on! On the other side is just a group of farmers who have just picked up arms, many of them are still holding big knives and spears, as long as we work together, they can't withstand it!

As long as we wait for reinforcements to arrive, we can make a great achievement, and we are all heroes! Long live the Han Empire! ”

The company commander is worthy of being an officer who has been trained for many years, and after seeing the vacillation of the soldiers under his command, he immediately began to cheer up!

In the American Native Guard, the officers above the company captain level were all from the reorganized teaching regiment when the American Field Army was disbanded, and this teaching regiment was originally used to form a grassroots officer corps during the large-scale expansion of the Han Empire, which is also the reason why the Han Empire was able to pull up 100,000 American Native Guards in just a few months!

This training regiment can play a big role, they let the Indian civilians who have just completed the bayonet training of the shooting queue have basic combat effectiveness when they first become an army, and when they were in Tucson Fortress, they have seen the blood of the American Native Guard, which can barely be regarded as a third-rate army in the world!

Compared with the organized half, the rebel army with poor discipline is still much stronger!

The rebel army attacked this small group of American native guards, and it was naturally impossible to pull out an elite confrontation, and the attacking crowd sent by Hidalgo were all ordinary rebel soldiers armed with cold weapons!

They lined up in a simple dense formation, relying on absolute superiority in numbers, and semi-surrounded the front of the American Home Guard!

The rebel soldiers with dung forks, wooden sticks, spears and swords walked straight and straight with the flow of people towards the more than 100 Indian soldiers who shot in three sections, until they reached the maximum effective range of the flintlock pistol, and when they were about 100 meters, they began to jog and charge!

The company commander looked at the rebel soldiers on the opposite side who were shouting and killing the enemy, a few drops of cold sweat flowed down his cheeks, and his arm trembled slightly and raised the command knife and pointed forward: "Fire!" ”

Bang bang bang......

A puff of white smoke drifted by, the soldiers of the first row hurriedly stepped back and reloaded, and the soldiers of the second row stepped forward and raised their muskets again, this time without the order of the commander, and pulled the trigger!

Although this three-stage shooting method is very ancient, it is very useful in the face of cold weapon troops, and it will fire a flintlock pistol at most two or three times a minute, and it will be forced to triple the firing frequency!

A shot of a few seconds, but quite terrifying!

If it weren't for the fact that there were only more than 100 soldiers in this company, the firepower density would be too low and too low compared to thousands of rebel soldiers, and the cold weapon troops on the opposite side would have had an extravagant expectation of even hand-to-hand combat!

In the Second Opium War of the year, the Battle of Bali Bridge, the Manchu cavalry was killed all over the field by the three-stage shooting of the British and French forces!

As the salvo of Indian soldiers began, the battle reached its climax in an instant!
