Chapter 338: On the White Civil War

Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe battle between the white puppet army of the Han Empire and the Spanish reinforcements, a small number of artillery became a real pure auxiliary class on the battlefield, or that kind of inconsequential auxiliary!

The cavalry, which had a very small number of people, did not even dare to enter the periphery of the battlefield, and became purely heralds and scouts......

In general, there is only one type of strength for the two sides to fight, and that is to line up and shoot the most popular main force of the era - line infantry!

In fact, in this world of queuing and shooting, in small-scale battles, there are often pure infantry duels, cavalry often have a relatively high training price, and the war horse is a difficult thing to serve, and the food is much better than people!

War horses can't just eat grass, although war horses are herbivores, but war horses that only eat grass can't rush......

Only the horses take ordinary forage as the staple food, and the war horses are mixed with nutritious high-grade crops such as grains and soybeans on weekdays......

Only a war horse that has been fed special food for a long time will grow fat and strong, and can even knock the infantry into the air when charging!

It is not difficult to train cavalry in modern times, but the training cost of war horses is not cheaper than in ancient times!

It's just that after the modern industrial revolution, the productive forces have developed by leaps and bounds, and the social wealth has increased, so that the cavalry troops can be armed on a larger scale!

The scale of modern cavalry is not because it is cheap, but because the feudal monarchs with an industrial base are rich!

Cavalry corps belonging to high-priced arms naturally do not appear often on small-scale battlefields, and it is also a kind of behavior of a loser to let the cavalry be consumed on small-scale battlefields that cannot determine the situation......

This resulted in skirmishes in the era of queue shooting, often with only infantry firing at each other, and no cavalry participating!

As for artillery, which is more expensive than cavalry, it is exclusive to large-scale battles......

At the very least, it is a corps-level unit that can be equipped with an artillery team!

This is the reason why the tactics of queuing up to shoot appear everywhere on both sides of the war, and even the militia can play bursts of guns in a good way, because they don't have to face overwhelming artillery bombardment in small-scale battles, and they don't have to worry about a large number of cavalry *** morale maintenance is naturally easier!

However, after the scale of the war reached tens of thousands, it was really rare to see a battlefield without the cooperation of the two arms of cavalry and artillery, and the white puppet army and the Spanish reinforcements, a war of more than 100,000 people, were fought entirely by infantry, which is even more rare in history!

Well, the exception is that modern armies attack feudal armies, but even in that case, modern armies are equipped with artillery and cavalry......

The Spanish reinforcements shouted to destroy the traitors and march forward, while the white puppet army shouted freedom forward......

Freedom refers to the autonomous city promised by Zhao Dutian!

When the meaning of the battle rises to the level of being for the sake of the family and children, the fighting enthusiasm of the soldiers is self-evident!

A few poor artillery pieces of the white puppet army and the Spanish reinforcements, one of them did not know what to bombard again, and the lethality of the artillery was greatly reduced, so that the line infantry on both sides had the courage to rise!

The footsteps of the drum become solid and powerful, just like the usual practice, and the flintlock pistol is set up on the chest as if nothing happened!

In order to expand the cross-surface of the battlefield as much as possible and give full play to the advantages of firepower and platoon, the width of the cross-column was pulled again and again, and one by one the infantry regiments were filled to the first line.

The mountains are full of costumes and boat-shaped hats of both armies!

The Spanish reinforcements wore yellow...... Oh no, it should be said that it is a brown-yellow military uniform, wearing the common black-brown boat-shaped hat, while the white puppet army adheres to the tradition of the Han Empire, wearing a gray-black military uniform, and the color of the boat-shaped hat is almost gray-black!

The colors of the military uniforms of the two sides are very different, and you can distinguish friend from foe at a glance, which is also the reason why the military uniforms of modern European countries are gorgeous and brightly colored!

The gorgeous colors of the professional military uniforms in modern Europe are not only to increase the sense of honor of the soldiers, but the most important factor is to facilitate the commanders of both sides to see at a glance which side is their own subordinate and which side is the enemy in the huge and chaotic battlefield!

In this way, as long as the commander finds a high ground and rides on a tall horse, he can see the situation on the battlefield at a glance, where his own color is forced back, where there is a gap in his own color, and then dispatch the reserve army to the top according to the situation!

Therefore, no European country will foolishly design the color of its military uniforms to look like other countries, otherwise, once the war starts, it will have to make a batch of military uniforms to be replaced......

It's not necessarily a bad thing that a soldier can't tell the difference between friend and foe, but if the commander can't tell the difference between friend and foe, it's going to be fatal!

In Zhao Dutian's era, Spanish military uniforms were generally...... Brown and yellow, the British are mostly red, but the style of the military uniforms is slightly different from the red shirts and other mercenaries, and even the Scottish Highlanders!

The military uniform of the Russians is green, well, the green with a profound meaning......

The French, naturally, are the classic blue military uniforms!

The military uniforms worn by the Prussians are similar to those of the Han Empire, and they are mainly black, and the ethnic composition of Austria is more complex, and the color of the military uniforms is the most chaotic, but it is still mainly pure yellow and white!

The military uniforms of the five major European powers are significantly different, and the military uniforms of those small European countries are a little chaotic, and the military uniforms of many small countries are 'copy and paste' from the military uniforms of the big countries, of course, those small countries are impossible to wage war alone, unless they are annexed, they are all following one of the European powers to kill and rob......

The horizontal surface of the battlefield, which was more than ten miles wide, had already exceeded the visual limit of the commanders of both sides, and finally stopped the dangerous maneuvers of continuing to expand......

The Spanish reinforcements, after entering the 100-meter range, were the first to stop and fired the first round of guns!

The Kingdom of Spain began to experience the decline of the power of the Thirty Years War in Europe in the 17th century, and the Kingdom of Spain, which achieved the first world hegemon, was not as good as a year, and they were pulled down from the world hegemony in the Thirty Years' War, and the later War for the Spanish Throne made it lose all the encroached land on the European continent except for the mainland, and when Zhao Dutian rose, the last bit of face of the Spanish Kingdom was also lost with the fall of South America and Mexico!
