The horn of the attack suddenly rang out, and Kabdovsky did not choose to retreat after all, and would not foolishly make the gray animals with an already average morale, and be bombarded with a force.

Naturally, Kabdovsky, who had an absolute advantage in troops, issued an order to attack.

On the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, it is naturally impossible to let all troops attack. Kabdovsky divided his army into two parts, with most of them as front-line attacking troops and the rest as reserves.

The reserve team included all cavalry and a small number of infantry.

It is said to be a reserve team, but in fact, Kabdovsky just used them as substitutes, and the real main force has already been suppressed.

The oil-adding tactic is not suitable for field battles. If you have an advantage in your troops, you must naturally exert your advantages at the beginning. The Han army on the opposite side has the advantage of artillery. The longer the time is delayed, the more Russian troops will be bombed and the morale will become more sluggish!

In the shortest time, dragging the main force of the Han army into close combat is the key to the Russian army's victory.

Admiral Kabdovsky naturally had a clear understanding of this.

Although the Russian army with more troops has a thicker phalanx when attacking (with the same force, the depth means that the battlefield cross-section facing the enemy will become narrower and easily be double-smacked by the enemy's wings), due to the absolute advantage in terms of military strength, the battlefield cross-section facing the Han army is of the same width.

Include all the Han army front-line arrays.

This was of course Kabdovsky did it on purpose.

Teams of Russian soldiers holding mestangs were stepping in the front row, and behind them were core spearmen in square formations.

At various positions around the square formation, there are also a few flexible melee troops holding weapons such as swords and axes.

Their role is mainly to protect the two wings of the spear phalanx and protect the musketeers when approaching the enemy at close range.

The combat effectiveness of these gray animals is actually not as good as the shooting army of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

Even though the shooting army has become corrupt, the soldiers of the shooting army still have the ability to fight melee.

At that time, the shooting army was equipped with long-handled battle axes and mezzanines.

When they were far away, they put the rifle gun on the long-handled battle axe and fired. When they were close, they waved their long-handled battle axe and chopped them down fiercely.

The long-handled battle axe is sufficient in length and has great force. Even when facing cavalry attacks, it can cut down the war horses!

Of course, while chopping down war horses, soldiers wielding battle axes often do not get any benefits. The kinetic energy carried by war horses is enough to knock ordinary human bodies out.

It is precisely because of this that after the female Tsar Yekaterina took office, they would dismantle and split the shooting army. In the eyes of the female Tsar Yekaterina, the comprehensive combat power of these shooting army is even stronger than the so-called Duma noble cavalry.

The stubborn members of the shooting army were eliminated, and the remaining war-capable soldiers were incorporated into Ekaterina's new army, and veterans who could not fight and were difficult to discipline were incorporated into the local army, that is, gray animals.

Therefore, the current gray animals are pure musketeers, with very weak melee ability. The spearmen can only arrange and use spears. Only those flexible melee soldiers have good combat power, and most of them are veterans.

This distribution is mainly because the single training of spearmen and musketeers is fast, and is suitable for large-scale military expansion.

The grey animals of the Tsarist Russian Empire expanded by millions, and there were more people who were just filling in the numbers. Even many old men who could still wield weapons were included, so naturally they could not strive for excellence.

As a qualified commander, Kabdovsky knew very well what kind of soldiers he was under his command. It was not that there were no veterans in the gray animals of the local army, but they were not assigned to him.

The real veterans all acted as the central army in the main force of the Moscow Front.

The sound of the attack horn sounded, at least the chaotic frontier Russian soldiers had something to do, without having to stand there and look at the solid projectiles flying over in fear.

The so-called large musket array is actually made up of small square arrays.

About one thousand people formed a small square array, and each small square array formed a large square array.

Xiao Yunyang's Spanish square formation in his previous life was also this routine.

At most, the size is different.

This large square formation that is made up of small square formations will not appear too rigid during combat, because each small square formation has the ability to fight independently, allowing the commander to make a certain degree of maneuvering during the combat process.

Of course, there is no comparison between the maneuver power here and the infantry phalanx under line tactics.

It takes a lot of time to turn the direction of the spear square formation in the small square formation.

As for the overall square formation, it is basically impossible to move under the enemy's nose, otherwise the enemy will be in chaos as soon as they rush.

By the same token, it is difficult for the Han army to turn, so it must face the enemy.

When Xiao Yunyang saw the enemy advance with a solid bullet with an average hit rate, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Only by letting the enemy come up first can he win a complete victory.

The main body of the Russian army is infantry. Once they are defeated after receiving the enemy, they cannot escape at all. Although the Han army's cavalry only has a few hundred people, they are all light cavalry, which is most suitable for chasing and killing the disabled enemies.

Subsequently, Xiao Yunyang issued a series of military orders.

The 10 three-pound cavalry cannons that had been hidden before were divided into two parts, and they were in a regiment of about a thousand people, detoured from both wings to the sides of the enemy.

From Kabdovsky's perspective, two small teams suddenly appeared in the Han army array, and then extended to both sides and turned diagonally forward.

General Kabdovsky naturally would not have seen the two Han troops detour to both sides of his own array. In that case, wouldn’t his own army face the enemy three times?

This is the rhythm of being shot!

The power of the infantry large array is very poor. Once the situation of the enemy in the three sides is established, it will become very difficult to maneuver again.

Moreover, with the qualities of these Tsarist Russian local troops, it is estimated that when facing the enemy in three faces, they will be defeated in a wave of ways.

At this time, the reserve team reserved by General Kabdovsky came in handy. Two teams with a size of two times the size of the troops on both sides of the Han army were arranged from the rear of the Russian army to advance rapidly.

The vertical square array travels faster than the horizontal square array. After all, the square array behind can follow the square array in front, one after another, and there will be no phenomenon of falling behind.

The defect of the longitudinal array is that the cross-section of the firepower is too low. If you hit the enemy's horizontal array, you will be baptized by lead bullets from three sides.

To put it bluntly, it is the question of the width and narrow cross-section of the battlefield.

Whether in the era of cold weapons or muskets, the width of the battlefield cross-section is paid close attention to in field battles.
