Chapter 280: Whale Swallowing Five

In the summary of the battle experience between the Spaniards and the Han Empire, it was clearly pointed out that in a frontal battle, as long as the number of artillery on your side does not occupy an absolute advantage, you must not concentrate the artillery for use!

You must know that the Han Empire uses flowering shells that can explode, and they are often bombarded by dozens or hundreds of local tyrants together, even if the accuracy is not enough to fly more than half, and a dozen flowering shells fall into the artillery position, it is enough to kill and wound......

If it happens that the exploded spark falls into the powder keg in the artillery position, then the artillery position can be declared dead......

This is all the experience that the Spaniards have summed up with bloody lessons!

Of course, in this kind of experience summary, there is another one, the cavalry must not be sent to attack the flank of the Han Empire front guarded by the Polish hussars, but as the Polish hussars fought out in battle, this one was naturally happily withdrawn by the Spanish commander!

Unlike the thin offensive phalanx of the Han Guards, which placed the main force on the front line, the Spaniards had much more depth and reserves, because they were strong!

Even if it is divided into 3 roads, it will be much more than the strength of the Han Guards!

The Spanish front was much worse than the strict and well-defined of the Han Guards, and the artillery and organ cannons were interspersed separately in the aisles between the infantry companies in the front row, and their main role was only to provide fire cover for the infantry and bombard the infantry attacking the Han Guards on the opposite side.

As for the artillery positions of the Han Guards, they were handed over to the cavalry of the Spaniards to deal with!

Except for the Polish hussars, who became famous in World War I, the Han Empire did not have any awesome cavalry troops, and the Spaniards naturally regained the classic tactics of cavalry raiding artillery positions!

The reason why the Spaniards abandoned the tactics of the large horizontal phalanx that they were familiar with and adopted the method of arranging troops that they had never used at all and thought that they could expand the depth was that they did not have much confidence in their own soldiers or militia......

They need to have more reserves, more fronts, and when the front is crushed by the Han Guards, they can reorganize their defenses and prevent the collapse of the whole army!

Anyway, their main task is to delay time, as long as they fight for a few hours or even more than ten hours, the nearest reinforcements can reach the battlefield, and when the time comes, they already have more troops than the enemy, and they can happily double their strength!

Even if the Han Guards can fight again, they can't withstand the consumption for a long time, and the lethality of firearms is not known how many times higher than that of cold weapons!

Often, a salvo of muskets kills as many people as the same number of cold-armed troops killed in a day's battle!

Of course, the morale of cold weapons troops rarely lasts as long as the battle, and most of them are easily harvested when they flee after defeat......

After the two sides set up their positions, the first thing was naturally the Han Guards, the artillery with a longer range and greater power was the first to pronounce!

The artillerymen of the artillery division, in the good environment without enemy artillery to return fire, opened their guns to the forward positions of the Spaniards' first front, as if they were providing targets during training!

The Spanish infantry could retreat and hide, but not the heavy artillery!

Even if the Spaniards dispersed the artillery individually, for the artillery of the Han Empire, it was just a matter of a little trouble when aiming and more shells to be wasted when bombarding, as long as they were given enough time, these artillery could completely uproot the artillery positions arranged by the Spaniards one by one little by little!

However, the commander of the Han Guards is not a fool, and what he lacks most at this time is probably time!

He must crush the Spaniards on the opposite side before reinforcements arrive! In this way, we can put our army together and meet the other Spanish army that is coming one after another!

As long as these two Spanish armies are defeated, the main Spanish forces gathered in Venezuela will be reduced by two-thirds of their troops, and the remaining ones will never dare to face up to the advance of this Han Guards as long as they don't take the wrong medicine or suddenly want to sacrifice their lives for the country!

The determination of the Spaniards to resist in Venezuela will also be dealt a fatal blow!

This is an absolutely superior force, fighting in an open area in a dignified battle, if you can't beat it, it's still a fart!

This is not a mainland, it is just a colony, and the morale of the army is worse after all......

After less than an hour of shelling, the commander of the Dahan Guards gave the order to launch an offensive on the infantry line!

The offensive mode launched by the Han Guards is the most popular tactical mode on the European battlefield now, in front of which is the front-loading rifled rifled gun skirmishers who are expensive to load and use a hammer to smash them, and the green jacket rifle regiment bends down and jogs forward with a loose skirmish line, and when it enters the range of the incoming rifle gun, he kneels down on one knee and raises his gun to aim at the Spanish private who is fighting straight on the opposite side!

Thanks to the fact that there were not many front-loading rifled guns in the Spanish colonies, and there were no sharpshooters, some time ago, the stragglers of the Han Empire also gave the Spaniards a lesson in jungle sniper warfare, so the Spanish commander simply did not send stragglers, and just guarded them with a pure battle line and organ cannons mixed in it!

As for artillery......

Well, how many more are left......

The infantry of the Han Guards in the back wore a tight-fitting black military uniform with gold trim, expensive warm thick-soled military boots, and a coquettish boat-shaped hat......

The junior officer holding the command knife walked in front of the infantry of the line to which he belonged, and the command knife stood straight in front of the officer who was walking in the front, staring at the Spanish battle line in the distance!

The line of infantry following the officer, the first row of soldiers holding flintlock pistols in both hands and pointing diagonally to the sky, each flintlock pistol was loaded with a shining snow bayonet, and the dented blood groove on it made no doubt its ability to bleed after stabbing into the human body!

Starting with the line infantry in the second row, all the soldiers put flintlock pistols on their shoulders and marched forward with their hands and marching to the military music drums!

Between each of the two adjacent infantry companies, there are trumpeters with military music drums on their backs, constantly beating rhythmic tones to adjust the pace of the army!

Behind the first few rows of line infantry, there will be a section of open space, and behind the open space is the line infantry of the next infantry regiment, and there are often middle-level officers on war horses wandering between the open spaces, loudly coordinating the march of their own troops, among which there are also heralds and trumpeters shuttling back and forth, maintaining the queue of tens of thousands of people to maintain the same rhythm!

The Han Guards did not retain infantry reserves at all, they were already in a weak position, and they were still thinking of winning or losing in one fell swoop, so they naturally wanted to press them all!
