184 Ignorance and brute force

"As long as you can rush over, I promise that all the spoils of this battle will be handed over to you for distribution, and I will not take a penny!"

After making the final agitation through the mouths of the orc infantry, the mercenaries of about 300 people (the local veterans of Edward's town did not come) began to stride forward under the stimulus of wealth and the pressure of the strong orc warrior warlords.

The tactics of the era of queuing to shoot are not complicated, but the requirements for queues are higher, and of course, for a group of mercenaries, don't expect queues or anything.

They simply lined up in a simple horizontal line, and then walked forward shoulder to shoulder with muskets in hand.

As the distance narrowed, more than a thousand lobster soldiers on the opposite side suddenly came to their senses, and the two phalanxes began to change formations rapidly.

The grenadiers in front, the line infantry in the rear formed two strong lines, and the dragoons on both flanks also raised their horse's hooves and began to patrol the perimeter.

Like machines in human skin, these treasure guardians methodically pressed down on their enemies.

With great courage, the mercenary team walked within a hundred meters, and no longer dared to move forward, and stopped and pulled the trigger on the lobster soldiers who were still marching to the beat of the drum under the "March of the Grenadiers" on the opposite side.

Scattered but still dense gunfire kept coming, and from time to time someone fell in the queue of lobster soldiers, and if the careful mercenaries had taken a closer look, they would have found that the dead lobster soldiers had disappeared with all their equipment and men.

In other words, after the victory in the battle, they will not be able to catch a single hair......

It's a pity that this group of mercenaries confronted the lobster soldiers at close range for the first time, even if they were all veterans of murder and arson, they couldn't help but feel nervous at this time, who had the time to care about the corpses?

What's more, the infantry of the lobster soldiers was very dense, and the layers of human legs had already covered the fallen corpses.

"These are the regular army of Britain, and they are advancing with bullets in their faces!"

"Don't be loading, let's get on, or we'll all die when they come to the front and shoot the platoon!"

…………

The chaotic military system of the mercenaries was evident at this moment, the platoon of guns had only been fired twice, and the enemy was still 50 meters away, and there was a noise in the mercenary crowd.

As mercenaries from the Europa continent in the current era, they naturally know the tactics of the British Army very well, and they also know that they will definitely not be able to withstand the opponent's three-column salvo formation at close range.

However, some of the outlaws were not very clear, and found it comfortable to shoot at the stupid lobster soldiers from such a distance.

As a result, the mercenary team split, and some of them did not wait for the enemy to approach, while encouraging the people around them, they took out their melee weapons and rushed forward.

Driven by this part of the people, many mercenaries and lawbreakers with a herd mentality also launched a charge under the control of blood bravery, and as a result, most of them rushed out at once.

The rest of the people saw so many people rushing forward, some followed, for fear that they would not be able to grab enough loot if they were one step behind, and some were frozen in place, not knowing what to do.

Others reload their own bullets and curse 'Falk squid'.

"Feier!"

After the lobster soldiers on the opposite side saw that the enemy did not follow the routine to charge, the strictly forbidden army suddenly stopped, and after a few orders, three rows of guns were set up in advance, and under a fire order, they suddenly sprayed out pieces of projectiles.

After Luo Tianjie saw this scene through the orc infantry, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, feeling that these mercenaries didn't look like people of this era at all, but had a fight with the cyber military novices he had encountered in his previous life.

At that time, Luo Tianjie was still very ignorant of queuing and shooting tactics, so he saw a lot of interesting remarks on the Internet.

For example, why don't the soldiers in the front row raise their shields when shooting a platoon gun?

As everyone knows, after the wooden shield is shattered by a projectile, the scattered wood chips will form a killing weapon that is more deadly than lead bullets!

As for the shield with better defense......

In the age of steam, the defensive effect of the shield is basically proportional to the weight, and the premise of raising the shield is that the soldier can lift it!

Some people also say that you can put a car shield in front, this method is actually more practical, because in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Manchu Tartars used car shields to deal with the Ming army with a high rate of firearms.

However, the Manchu Tartar car shield had no problem dealing with the poor quality of firearms and the poor accuracy of the artillery in the late Ming Dynasty.

If you face the European armies in the era of queuing and shooting, the performance of artillery has been greatly improved, and the use of car shields is almost disgusted that they did not die tragically enough!

The car shield with such a big target only needs to be bombarded with field artillery, and each car shield is a large explosive mine, which is smashed into it by a solid projectile, and the people around the car shield can survive, which is really God's favor......

As for the strange remarks of lying down and shooting when queuing up to be shot, even Luo Tianjie, who didn't know about queuing to shoot at the time, felt unreliable.

However, there was a remark at that time that resonated with Luo Tianjie, who didn't know anything about queuing up to shoot, that is, after firing a salvo, when the enemy was approaching, he immediately raised his knife and rushed up to fight hand-to-hand, not giving the other party a chance to shoot at close range.

Later, Luo Tianjie realized how ridiculous his thoughts were at that time!

However, Luo Tianjie at that time was convinced of this tactic!

It's really a matter of insight.

Theoretically, the enemy walked within 30 meters to shoot a platoon of guns, and at such a short distance, a charge seemed to really stick to the face.

But on the battlefield......

Obviously, the mercenaries who have not fought with the lobster soldiers think so, they think that the distance is only a few tens of meters, as long as they run fast, can the knife still not cut people?

In fact, the mercenaries who are generally lightly armed do run fast, but they forget that the person on the other side stops and raises their guns faster than they run!

Then, the mercenaries who rushed to a distance of ten meters were confronted by rows of flintlock muskets and shot out a number of projectiles, which was closer than a 30-meter salvo!

It's no longer a question of 100% of the flintlock pistol, it's a matter of shooting the muzzle of the gun at the head!

The distance between the shooting of criminals in the era of queuing up for shooting is not much farther than this, this is the real meaning of shooting execution!

In an instant, the mercenaries who rushed forward fell by two-thirds!

However, many of the surviving mercenaries continued to charge with the support of inertia, after all, the enemy was already close at hand!

Then these few survivors found themselves facing a long row of bayonets, and one person had to face the stabbing of several bayonets, even a martial arts master couldn't hold on to this scene!

The grenadiers in the front row did not even use grenades, but used a round of guns and bayonet charges to crush the mercenary attack......
