184 Ignorance and Bravery

"As long as you can rush over, I promise that all the spoils in this battle will be handed over to you to distribute, and I will not take a single cent!"

After making the final agitation through the mouth of the orc infantry, about 300 mercenaries (the local veterans of Edward Town did not come here) began to strode forward under the stimulation of wealth and the oppression of the powerful orc warriors' command team.

The tactics of the era of queuing and shooting are not complicated, but they only have high requirements for queues. Of course, for a group of mercenaries, don’t count on queues or something.

They just lined up in a simple row and walked forward shoulder to shoulder with muskets.

As the distance narrowed, more than a thousand lobster soldiers on the opposite side suddenly woke up, and the two large arrays began to change formations quickly.

Grenadiers were in front, and infantry lined up formed two strong lines of defense behind. Dragoons on both wings also raised their horses' hooves and began to patrol the outside.

These treasure guards are like machines in human skin, pressing towards the enemy in an orderly manner.

Supported by great courage, the mercenary team reached a range of within a hundred meters and no longer dared to move forward. They stopped and pulled the trigger at the lobster soldiers who were still advancing under the Grenadier March.

Scattered but still dense gunfire kept coming, and people fell from time to time in the lobster soldiers' queues. At this time, if careful mercenaries observe carefully, they will find that the dead lobster soldiers, including their men and equipment, disappeared.

In other words, after the battle, they could not even get a single hair...

Unfortunately, this group of mercenaries fought against lobster soldiers at close range for the first time. Even though they were all veterans who killed and set fire, they couldn't help but feel nervous at this time. Who has the spare time to care about the corpse?

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

"These people are regular troops in Britain. They are actually advancing with bullets!"

"Don't load the bullets, let's get on, otherwise they will die when they come to the front of them and shoot the gun!"

…………

The chaotic military system of mercenaries was revealed at this moment. After only two rounds of gunfire, the enemy was still 50 meters away, and noisy sounds appeared in the mercenary crowd.

As mercenaries from the European continent in the current era, they naturally knew the tactics of the British Army and they knew that they would definitely not be able to stand up to the other side to get a three-row volley when they went to close.

However, some illegal people are not very clear about it, and they feel comfortable shooting the lobster soldiers who are moving forward so stupidly from such a distance.

As a result, the mercenary team split. Some people mobilized the people around them to take out their melee weapons and rushed forward without waiting for the enemy to approach.

Driven by this group of people, many herd mercenaries and criminals also launched a charge under the control of Xue Yong, and as a result, most of them rushed out in an instant.

The remaining people saw so many people rushing up, some followed, fearing that they would not be able to grab enough spoils if they were one step behind, while others were stunned and didn't know what to make a decision.

Some load bullets on their own and then scold "Fake Squids".

"Feer!"

After seeing the enemy's charge without following the routine, the army that was strictly prohibited suddenly stopped. After several commands, three rows of guns were set up in advance, and with a fire order, they suddenly sprayed out pieces of projectiles.

Luo Tianjie was stunned when he saw this scene through the Orc Infantry. He felt that these mercenaries did not look like people from this era at all, but were comparable to the online military novices he met in his previous life.

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

For example, why don’t the front row soldiers raise their shields when shooting guns?

Little do they know that after the wooden shield is crushed by the projectile, the scattered wood chips will form a killing weapon that is more deadly than the lead bullet!

As for shields with better defense...

In the steam era, the defense effect of the shield is basically proportional to the weight. The premise of lifting a shield is that the soldier can lift it!

Some people also say that the car shield can be placed in front of it. This method is actually quite realistic, because in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Manchu Tatars used car shields to deal with the Ming army with a high firearm equipment rate.

However, the quality of the Shield of the Qing Dynasty was low against firearms, and the artillery was tragic that the late Ming army had no problem.

If you face the European army that has greatly improved artillery performance when line-up is being shot, using a car shield is almost a matter of disdain for not tragic enough!

The target of the car shield is as big as a target, and only requires concentrated bombardment with field cannons. Each car shield is a large thunder bomb, and it is smashed into it by solid projectiles. It is really God's favor to be able to survive the people around the car shield...

As for the weird remarks such as lying down to shoot when queuing, even Luo Tianjie, who didn't know about queuing up to shoot at that time, felt that it was unreliable.

However, there was a remark at that time that Luo Tianjie, who knew nothing about queuing and shooting, resonated with him. After the volley shot, he immediately raised his knife to fight with his hands and hands as the enemy approached, and did not give the other party a chance to shoot at close range.

Later, Luo Tianjie realized how ridiculous his thoughts were!

However, Luo Tianjie believed in this tactic at that time!

This is actually a matter of insight.

In theory, the enemy walks within 30 meters to rogue guns. At such a short distance, a charge seems to be really close to the face.

But on the battlefield...

Obviously, the mercenaries who have never fought with the lobster soldiers think so. They think it's just a few dozen meters away. As long as they run fast, can't they cut people with their knives?

In fact, the generally light mercenaries did run faster, but they forgot that the people on the opposite side stopped and raised their guns faster than they ran!

Then, the mercenaries who rushed ten meters away shot out of projectiles in rows of flintlock rifles, which was closer than three rows of 30 meters!

This is no longer a question of the flintlock rifle being 100% powerful, but a question of shooting the muzzle against a human head!

In the era of queuing to kill criminals, the distance between shooting criminals is not much higher than this. This is the real meaning of shooting and execution!

In a moment, two-thirds of the mercenaries who rushed up fell!

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

Then the few survivors found that they were facing a long row of bayonets. One person had to face the sting of several bayonets. Even martial arts masters couldn't hold on to this scene!
