Chapter Seventy-Five: Platoon Shooting

In a place in Longji City that has been blocked layer by layer, Wayne's two generals can also be said to be a division commander and a battalion commander. Balde didn't feel resentful about his rank being lower than Besson. In fact, Bald had a higher status than Bessen, and was awarded such a rank just to facilitate the management of the White Coats.

"Put!"

The prepared soldiers opened fire, and green smoke rose from the muzzles of a row of guns. The sparse scarecrow in the distance fell only one.

But Bessen was not satisfied with this, never to underestimate the enemy, such an attack was only useful for the cavalry that rushed up. As for the infantry.

After the Battle of Helan, as long as you are not a fool, you will eliminate the tactics of dense charges. The flintlock pistol, on the other hand, is not very accurate, and is only useful when firing in groups, and if ten bullets can only hit one person, it is not as good as a bow and arrow. The experiment just now proves this very well.

The advantage of the flintlock pistol is its long range and great power.

Bessen has never thought of a tactic that can play to this advantage, and accuracy is an unavoidable problem.

Balde didn't come up with a good tactic for a long time. It's like the feeling of humiliation when you have a peerless treasure, but you don't know how to use it.

Both are at a loss.

Wayne didn't tell the two of them about the line tactics of lining up to shoot, there are some things that need to be explored, and blind indoctrination may not get good results.

At this time, the prepared soldiers of the second team were made up before the soldiers in front could withdraw due to the mistake of the squad leader. But the scene was not chaotic, and thanks to the usual training, the soldiers quickly found their place.

Leave in an orderly manner, start loading in an orderly manner, shoot.

This scene was watched by Bald and Bessson.

Suddenly, the mouth stopped.

After some adjustments, the three rows of soldiers were arranged in three figures.

The first platoon finished firing, quickly retreated, and the second platoon began to shoot. The platoon, which had just retreated, began to clear the chamber and began to reload ...

But before the soldiers who shot the first platoon were ready, the round was over. made him stand in the front row and start to scramble.

Besson and Balde also saw the problem and had to add two more rows.

That's pretty much it.

Having achieved his goal, Bessen removed the tired soldiers.

Back in the command room, face a sand table.

The sand table is a simulation of a plain, with reduced artillery, soldiers, cavalry, and so on.

This is where Bessen conducts battlefield drills.

After finding a new tactic, Besson was not happy.

Bessen picked up the artillery model.

"You've seen the Iron Fist Type shoot shotshots, right? ”

Balder nodded with interest.

"I saw it, and it would be a nightmare for the enemy. ”

Beson said meaningfully.

"That would also be a cavalry nightmare. ”

"I'm not going to give up on the White Regiment. ”

Balder said firmly.

Beson immediately retorted.

"Cavalry will eventually lag behind, artillery or infantry is the future. ”

"If you want to pursue the enemy, and when you want to penetrate the defense, the cavalry is still very effective. And that doesn't mean except Nolan

In addition, the rest of the army had muskets and scattered bullets. ”

"They'll definitely have it later, it's just a matter of time. It is true that cavalry can still play a role on the battlefield, but it is all auxiliary. Have you decided to waste your talent on this class?"

Balder insisted.

"You don't understand my feelings for cavalry, I want to end my life in the artillery fire of the battlefield on a war horse. ”

This is the second time Beson has persuaded Balde.

For the first time, Beson found for the first time that this man who could be flexible and changeable on the battlefield was so rigid, and now he feels that he is not rigid, this is stubbornness! Irrational stubbornness!

"If the death rate of the cavalry is high, your number of soldiers will be reduced. And in the future, resources will be tilted towards us. Your cavalry will be hard to sustain. ”

"At least until I retire, cavalry can still play a big role. After all, artillery technology is not so easy to learn. ”

Besson impatiently put down the artillery model.

If you're not convinced, then we'll deduce a show. ”

Badr also wanted to try his skills, and readily agreed.

This time Bessen didn't use a flintlock pistol, but just added a shotgun concept.

The two sides of the deduction, 10,000 against 5,000. Bald five thousand.

Besson brought in a fair man to decide the outcome of the game.

When some people heard the news, they immediately came to watch. I don't know the skills of the two great gods in the army yet, but it's really good to come over today and open my eyes.

Since this is just a training place, there are not many onlookers.

The people present remained silent, after all, the slightest sound might disturb the thinking of the two main generals.

When the sand of the hourglass had finished draining, the just men announced the beginning of the deployment of troops. Then the just man took out a smaller funnel.

Balde divided the army into two parts, the front part with ten artillery pieces in front and the infantry in the rear. The same is true of the army in the back.

And these guns are lined up in a cone.

The infantry in front did not form a defensive formation, but a formation that could flee at any time.

The soldiers in the rear are the defensive formation, and there are more of them than in the front.

This is in contrast to Balde's traditional two-sided formation, after all, the cavalry formation is really small. This time, Balde used all light cavalry, after all, speed is the key in front of artillery.

But that means more to penetrate.

After the arrangement of both parties is determined, the impartial person announces the beginp.

The cavalry on both sides of Bald began to outflank the infantry in front, and Bessen's cone-shaped artillery was put into full swing. Due to proper distance control, the second row of artillery can also be properly supported.

When the cavalry was less than two hundred meters away from the infantry, Bessen withdrew the soldiers in time and threw the artillery directly in place.

Beson said lightly.

"Tribulus terrestris. ”

Beson used the illusion of a soldier to cover up the thistle.

Balder could have entered the battle, and then the group of soldiers would have been defeated. Balde was able to follow the cover of the group of routs, without worrying about artillery, and went directly into the second phalanx.

However, thistle terrestris prevented Balder from following the group. And he lost fifteen hundred cavalry in vain.

The notary told the smaller funnel to start the timer, and if the sand was out and Bald could come up with a better tactic, he would lose.

However, not many wars have taken such astonishing turns as the Battle of Wasser.

Before the sand could drain, Balde threw in the towel.

"You don't think about it anymore?"

Besson persuaded.

"No need. I have only 3,500 cavalry left, and I will lose 1,500 soldiers when I rush to you. How could only two thousand soldiers remain. ”

Balder did not feel the slightest discomfort of defeat.

Of course, Beson still has to deal with these "skipping" colleges.

"You remember that sand table deduction is always the ideal situation, and the human brain can reason. But remember that wars can be very illogical a lot of times and have a lot of surprises. This cannot be reasoned, and the deduction just now is just a reference case and cannot be taken seriously. ”

The student listened solemnly.

Besson waved his hand.

"Let's go down. ”

Then the group of students rushed out.

"A boring game, but a lot to see. ”

Beson said meaningfully.

"I'm glad I'm on Nolan's side. ”

Balde still insisted on himself.

"Are you really going to spend it on this?"

Balde was silent. Fight to the end.

In fact, Besson would love to change his age with Balde, who was thirty years old and himself twenty. In this way, he would not have to bear the risk of being disarmed and returned to the field at the age of thirty, at the age of his greatest glory. And when he is in his forties, it is also a good destination to quit the era with a class.

But the truth is often not what people want. A man in his early twenties, who liked new things, guarded a broken thing. One is almost 35 years old, but he likes and adapts to new things.

Sometimes the world is just so incomprehensible.
