The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 718 If you line up to be shot, I will be shot

\u003c\u003e

The war of lining up to be shot is extremely cruel. Pinshu.. the armies of both sides must not only fight for the level of combat skills, but also fight for the courage not to fear death.

In this day and age, Europeans are not so courageous. You know, those nobles and knights, once they encounter difficulties, will choose to surrender, and then wait for themselves to be redeemed.

However, in the era of queuing to be shot, bullets do not have eyes. Those buckshots flying around the battlefield, no matter whether you are a noble or a commoner. If caught, you will be killed or injured. Also, buckshot damage is extremely difficult to treat. Even if it is cured, there is a high possibility that an arm or leg will be amputated or something.

If it is still the current military style of play, many old-fashioned noble officers may not have time to surrender, and will be killed and injured by flying bullets. And if the discipline of the army soldiers is not good and the willpower is not tenacious enough, once the commander bombs, the army is extremely easy to collapse.

Moreover, even a modern army with very strict discipline is prone to accidents when fighting a war in which they are shot in a queue. Of course, that's nothing to veterans who ignore death. But for those who had just been on the battlefield, for them, lining up to be shot was too cruel.

On the battlefield where lined up to be shot, because the accuracy of the musket is touching, the soldiers standing in the front row are all gambling their lives - betting that the opponent's bullets can't fly to them. This way of gambling is fine for veterans, but for new recruits, the mental pressure is too great. Therefore, in the later wars, those standing in the front row are often veterans. Otherwise, the recruits will be frightened, and it is easy to collapse and run away, and then there is no way to fight...

Some people may say - that's simple, you learn from the British lobster soldiers, and after 30 yards approaching and shooting, launch a bayonet charge...

If anyone thinks this way, Marin, who has fought a lot of battles, will definitely spray in front of him—you Sa...

Why do you say that? Because, this is determined by the background of the times...

The approaching salvo + charge tactics of the British lobster soldiers were in the 18th century, in line with the social background at that time. Why? Because at that time the army changed to muskets. After the bayonet, everyone's weapons are about the same length. When fighting, whoever is brave wins...

But what about this era? This is the beginning of the 16th century! You must know that the plate knights have not been completely swept into the garbage by the musket. At this time, you let the musketeers set up a bayonet to launch a charge, which is definitely too long!

In the face of the musketeers charging with bayonets, not many, as long as a few hundred plate knights are sent on the opposite side, they can tear apart the musketeer's assault formation, and then massacre them. Without lead bullets, musketeers with bayonets, facing plate knights who are not afraid of swords, are no different from chickens to be slaughtered.

not only,

The musketeer armed with a bayonet stabbed the opposite spearman with a spear several meters long, and it was especially courting death. People's spears are a few meters long, and your bayonet is more than one meter long. The spears of the Swiss lancers are several meters long. You are a musketeer, with a musket and bayonet, and it looks like one meter and sixty to seventy centimeters long. You rushed forward with a bayonet, several meters away from the house, and was stabbed to death by someone with a spear - no way, the length is not enough, you can't reach the enemy, but the enemy has already stabbed you...

In an inappropriate way, Yao Ming and Pan Changjiang fought. Yao Ming didn't need to do anything, he just straightened his arms and pressed against Pan Changjiang. With Lao Pan's arms and legs, he could only jump up and down there, but he couldn't hit Yao Ming. After all, Yao Ming's arms are too long. As long as he can withstand Uncle Pan, whether it is his arms or legs, Uncle Pan can't reach Yao Ming's body...

Therefore, the bayonet is by no means an artifact, it depends on what era and what weapon the opponent uses.

Some people may say - oh, it seems that the British army used bayonet to defeat the defenders of Zhenjiang in the Yayi War. But you have to know that most of the weapons guarding Zhenjiang are not long weapons! The weapons used by the bannermen in Zhenjiang are, for example, shotguns—arquebuses handed down from the Ming Dynasty, but bayonets have not yet been installed. The other is the waist knife used by the flag soldiers. This thing is absolutely short of the musket of the bayonet. If it is not a person with high martial arts (such as the 29th Army broadsword team), if you meet someone with a bayonet, you will definitely not be able to ask for it. It is a spear, but it can also fight with the bayonet of the British army. However, those who used spears in the Qing army were definitely inferior soldiers, and their fighting power and fighting will were the worst. If you have a little status, you will definitely mix a sheathed waist knife and a little martial arts. The spearmen are generally cannon fodder. Even the uncles who use waist knives and shotguns have been defeated, do those who use spears still have the will to fight?

Moreover, there were more than 1,500 bannermen guarding Zhenjiang without escaping. Since he is a gentleman, he will definitely not use a cheap weapon like a spear like a miscellaneous soldier. Getting a good waist knife and riding a Mongolian horse is their standard configuration. Only people who are miserable will use the spear, a weapon of cannon fodder. If you're in the middle of it all, you'll use a shotgun, no bayonet...

Therefore, the British army dared to launch a bayonet charge on the defenders in Zhenjiang, in addition to the superior number of people, it was to bully the opponent's weak weapons. If you encounter a Swiss spearman with a spear several meters long, Nimad will try to launch a bayonet charge? Musketeers originally had no armor, facing the spear, they were stabbed with a quasi...

...

Therefore, Marin would not use bayonets as a countermeasure against an enemy army with a large number of musketeers. Because, in this era, musketeers are a minority, and the mainstream is definitely still spearmen and plate knights. In the face of these two arms, the musketeer with the bayonet rushed to absolutely find abuse. Rather than that, it's better to stand a few more rows of guns. With the advantage of the number of muskets of the Marin army, the opponent's musketeers can still be suppressed by shooting.

Also, Marin's army now uses clockwork muskets instead of matches. In this way, the musketeers do not need to be separated by 1 mile from each other, and there is no need to worry about the gunpowder being ignited by the arquebuses of the people around them.

But other countries are different. They currently do not have the technology of clockwork arquebuses and can only use arquebuses. In this way, Marin's musketeers can achieve twice the density of musketeers as their opponents. The firepower density is naturally twice as high. When they shoot each other, they definitely have the advantage...

Of course, Napoleon's experience taught Marin that artillery was king when it came to opposing musketeers. Especially in the face of the dense queue of musketeers standing in rows opposite, an iron ball smashes the musketeers who take away a line, don't be too cool...

The only problem is that if you use a lot of artillery, the gunpowder consumption is a bit large...

You know, it takes 10 grams of gunpowder to shoot a musket once. As for artillery shooting, if a 6-pound gun is used, according to the example of gunpowder and shell 13, a charge of 2 pounds is required for one charge - this can fire 90 shots... If a hundred artillery pieces are lined up in a salvo... Hey, there's not enough gunpowder... unless, there's a steady source of massive amounts of gunpowder...

Therefore, it is better to go to Chile to find saltpeter... After there is a large and stable supply of saltpeter in Chile, Marin can use cannons recklessly to take the opponent's musketeers into the sky. Your gun is 100 meters away, and my gun is still aiming at a few hundred meters. One shot takes away a line... You line up to shoot, I will shoot... see who is cruel...
