Some people may wonder why artillery shotguns are so powerful, but when the firearms army is in the field, it is rare to see a dense and slow-moving line infantry with artillery shotguns to kill a large number of people.

Commanders of various countries are not fools, and naturally understand what the most lethal weapon is in this era when machine guns have not appeared!

Undoubtedly, it is the shotgun fired by large-caliber artillery, commonly known as grapeshotille!

These shotguns, which are wrapped in slightly smaller hard metals such as iron sheets, nails, and iron balls, are fired in a fan shape, which is definitely a lifelong nightmare for any standing infantryman!

Even the most elite line infantry in the whole world is not guaranteed to advance steadily in the face of shotgun fire!

Because of this, no commander like a fool would let the line infantry directly attack the front of the artillery position, unless, all the infantry on the other side has collapsed!

Front-loading smoothbore guns, while bursting out with great power, also have a huge recoil, front-loading smoothbore guns in reality, especially large-caliber field guns, that powerful recoil, is not what kind of land can bear!

Before each battle, the commander chooses a position suitable for deploying the artillery and bearing the recoil of the artillery, and once deployed, it is almost impossible for the large-caliber field gun to move its position before the end of the war!

This is also the reason why European countries still keep small-caliber infantry guns and cavalry guns!

Of course, it is impossible for the arranged artillery to move in front of the line infantry and then fire shotguns with open arms!

When the local infantry is not routed, the commander will rarely let the infantry charge directly at the local artillery position, after all, the shotgun is scary enough, and with enough platoon guns, even if it rushes down, the unit can almost be rebuilt......

What's more, the troops that can charge head-on and suppress the shotguns are at the most elite of the grenadiers, which are all veterans who have been trained over the years, and they are the real core and main forces of various countries, which are essentially different from the ordinary line infantry that can pull out a batch in a few months!

No one will consume a lot of meaningless money unless it is necessary!

Therefore, looking at modern warfare in Europe, the shotgun really strafs and kills a large number of infantry, and it is often seen only when defending the city.

The artillery positions arranged on the flanks and rear flanks can be used to shoot at the enemy soldiers reinforced in the rear of the scorching battlefield, although there will still be occasional grenades that miss and accidentally injure friendly troops, but this mistake is insignificant compared to the results created!

Accidental injuries in wars have happened too many times since ancient times!

Even in ancient times, there were many examples of murderous generals shooting arrows at their own people in order to win!

The bayonet hand-to-hand combat on both sides seems chaotic, but as the elite line infantry of the Han Empire and the English Empire, they have experienced strict bayonet hand-to-hand combat training in training, and the rotation fighting is naturally hand-to-hand!

After all, there is a limit to human strength, and no one can wield a bayonet at high intensity for hours on end, and the only result of that is to destroy the entire arm and be easily killed by the enemy!

On the hand-to-hand battlefield, the area of contact between the two sides is not infinite, after all, there will be many people who cannot meet the enemy in the back, the soldiers in front will naturally retreat to their own side to recover after a large amount of physical exertion, and the people in the back will also independently top the vacant position, this is discipline, this is the essential difference between the regular army and the rabble!

The hand-to-hand combat battlefield of tens of thousands of people seems to be very shocking, but the hearts of the British commanders are dripping blood, and the consumption here is all real elite soldiers!

He had already transferred all the reserves with strong hand-to-hand combat skills in his hands, but he was never able to regain his advantage, and he was still suppressed by the grandmother of the Han Guard, as if they didn't care about their own casualties!

The British generals wondered how that Zhao Dutian had trained so many high-morale and powerful troops.

The Han Empire has only been established for less than 40 years!

The rise of a country is not as easy as it seems, even today's Frederick II has the shadow of his ancestors, leaving him a rich Brandenburg and East Prussia!

Frederick the Great only strengthened his armaments and tapped Prussia's potential with his excellent command skills!

And what does Zhao Dutian have?

A primeval forest?

An unmined mine?

A bunch of uncivilized Indians?

And a wild land that doesn't even have a factory!

To be able to create such a big situation in such a short period of time, it is not just people who are enough, a systematic social system, advanced educational institutions, and even knowledge and practice reserves that need to be accumulated for a long time!

It would be explained if there were foreign forces to support it, but the Han Empire completely relied on its own strength to build a lot of factories, and there were railways that were not popularized in Europe!

The steam power system, which has just been invented in Europe for a short time, seems to be worthless in the Han Empire, and can be seen everywhere!

The British general really wanted to point at Zhao Dutian's nose in front of him and shout: "Where did you get so many professional technicians and workers from where you were paralyzed!" ”

However, the facts have been doomed, these British generals are just swearing in love, and the unfavorable situation of the battle has made many of them have fine beads of sweat on their heads!

If this battle is lost, the British Empire's plan to destroy the Han State in a short period of time will undoubtedly be declared a complete failure, and the military strength of North America will be greatly weakened, at least for several years, with only defensive power and no offensive force......

In other words, if the British Empire does not want to slap itself in the face and give up the entire North American colonies, it can only grit its teeth and continue to transfuse blood to the American continent and maintain the front until the entire imperial finances are completely dragged down!

The British generals were not worried that after the defeat, the Han Empire would take advantage of the victory to pursue, because this battle has been fought so far, the so-called guards of the Han Empire have suffered a lot of casualties, even if they win, it is strange that the remaining people can attack the colonies that have been operating in North America for a hundred years!

Will the more than 3 million whites in the North American colonies really cheer for the Han rule?!

The British commander, seeing the Scottish Highland infantry, paid nearly eighty percent of the casualties to disperse the Han cavalry, and decisively threw the last few Indian infantry regiments into battle!
