For a time, the musketeers on the left wing of the Eight-National Princes Alliance and the right wing of the North Sea Army fell into a vicious circle of "mutual harm".

If we consider the tactics of later generations, the best choice for the Beihai Kingdom musketeers at this time is to charge with bayonets. However, in this era, it is unwise to charge with bayonets. Because three-quarters of the opponent's soldiers are spearmen. A bayonet is not enough to be seen in front of a few meters of spear.

In addition, this is also the first large-scale war of musket shooting in European history, and the opportunity is rare. The reason why Marin lets his subordinates shoot foolishly with the opponent is to allow his soldiers to adapt to this extremely cruel shooting.

Why is it said that the musket shooting is extremely cruel? Because it is basically impossible to get hit by a spherical lead bullet of dozens of grams. The damage caused by a spherical lead bullet of dozens of grams is too great. What is even more terrifying is that the spherical lead bullet will roll in the human body and stir up the flesh and blood. Once the lead bullet penetrates into the human body, it will never stop until it is a big blood hole. Of course, there are exceptions. That is, the lead bullet hits the bones...

However, that's just as miserable. Because, this means that the bones will be smashed or even smashed by lead bullets. Even if they can be rescued, they will become disabled.

Also, lead bullets are lead poisonous. After entering the human body, it will have an adverse effect on the human body. In addition, when the lead bullet is shot into the human body, it will also carry fragments of the attacker's clothes and shoot them into the human body. The rag fragments of the clothes, including the lead bullet themselves, are very dirty. If they come into contact with flesh and blood, it is easy to get infected.

Therefore, when Marin watched movies of the South American War in the last life, doctors always saw and amputated the soldiers who were shot on their legs, which was very terrifying. Therefore, this spherical lead-fired musket shot at the same time was cruel.

Even the damage of this spherical lead bullet is much heavier than that of the pointed bullets in later generations. Although the pointed bullets in later generations are more powerful and have a longer range, they will not roll violently when ingested into the human body. If it is a steel bullet, it is likely to pass through the human body and leave a blood hole directly on the human body. Such wounds, as long as they do not hit the vital and arteries, bandage them, pay attention to stopping bleeding and disinfection, they will be fine. The smaller the diameter of the bullet, the smaller the damage.

For example, during the Anti-Japanese War, the 38th Great Cover of the Japanese was small in diameter, only 6.5 mm, and the range was long, so it was powerful. As a result, when it hit the Eighth Route Army, it penetrated through the body, leaving only a blood hole. Many Eighth Route Army soldiers bandaged the blood hole and continued to fight, and it was nothing to do. However, Hanyang Zahezhong official, because of the large diameter of 7.92 mm and the range was close, the bullets were easily trapped in the body after being shot into the human body (the pointed bullet would have a certain rolling effect if it was stuck in the human body), and the damage was higher. Of course, this refers to close-range shooting. If it was shot from a long distance, it would definitely be strong in the 38th Great Cover.

The spherical lead bullet is different because the shape of the spherical bullet has a great resistance and will generally remain in the human body after being shot into the human body. In addition, it will roll and stir in the human body, and the damage is often much greater than that of pointed bullets. If you are shot, it will be more deadly than being hit by modern rifles in later generations.

...

At present, the musketeers on both sides who were shooting on the battlefield were most touched by this. Especially those unlucky guys who were shot. At this moment, they were in vain...

In contrast, the 50-gram projectiles of the Geldenberg Musketeers were more harmful. Several of the dozens of Beihai Musketeers who were shot were killed on the spot. The survivors were either not far from death or were destined to be disabled.

But before they were dead or disabled, they could only fall to the ground in pain and wail...

However, war is cruel. They will not stop the pace of war because of their pain and howl. Both sides continue to shoot at each other, but the Beihai Musketeers have a better advantage.

Why? Because the Musketeers of Beihai Country use clockwork muskets. Because there is no fuse, they are not afraid of accidentally igniting the ammunition of their comrades next to them. Therefore, the musketeers of Beihai Country line up closer and have more firepower. However, the musketeers of Gaeldenberg, because they use a fuse gun, have to be spaced 1 meter apart from each other. In terms of firepower density, they are naturally not as good as their opponents.

In addition, the loading of a clockwork musket is faster than a melee gun. Because when loading a melee gun, the fuse must be removed from the fixture and then started to load the ammunition. After loading the ammunition, the fuse tied to the left hand must be clamped again on the fixture on the musket. Then adjust it so that the burning fuse head can be successfully extended into the gunpowder pool after pulling the trigger.

In this way, the loading speed of the mesh gun slows down. The average loading time for Marin's clockwork fired is only about 30 seconds. However, the loading speed of the Geldenberg's mesh gun takes at least 1 minute.

At the beginning, the first round of the third-section attack was not visible. But after the first round of the third-section attack, the gap was revealed - the second round of the third-section attack by the Musketeers of Beihai Kingdom quickly began, while the second round of the third-section attack by the Mistress of Gaeldenberg Kingdom took more than 30 seconds to start the second round of the third-section attack again...

Taking advantage of the 30 seconds of waiting, the commander of the Beihai Musket Team took the opportunity to send someone to carry the injured musketman to the back and send him to the battlefield hospital for emergency treatment...

After several rounds of shooting, the commander of the Beihai Kingdom felt something was wrong - why did the musketeers in this party fall more than the opponent? However, he had no time to think about anything else, so he could only grit his teeth and insist on continuing to shoot...

...

At this time, the central army and left wing of the Beihai Kingdom were not idle either - they were waiting for the artillery of the coalition forces of the eight-nation princes...

Sure enough, 40 small bronze cannons appeared in the central army of the coalition of the eight-nation princes...

These 40 bronze cannons are the family background of the eight kingdoms. They were collected by the eight kingdoms and were specially used to attack the central army of the Beihai army. However, these cannons are not large in caliber, generally only at one or two pounds, and the largest cannon is only three pounds. Moreover, their style is also the most popular Franco-machine rear-loading cannon in Europe.

Originally, these artillery should have been arranged in front of the formation early. Because these artillery were old-style artillery without gun mounts and ears, and only had a bare gun barrel. Before each battle, people would be sent to dig a hole and buried it in front of the formation.

However, Charlie, Earl of Gelden, believed that raising so many artillery too early would scare Marlin to take his main force out of the city to fight. Therefore, these artillery did not pull in front of the formation at the beginning, but were hidden in the middle of the battle formation.

When the musketeers on the left wing of the coalition forces began to shoot with the musketeers of the Beihai Kingdom, the coalition artillery hidden in the middle of the middle road was finally carried to the front of the formation, began to dig a hole, and buried it...

Marin, who had been observing with a telescope at a high place behind the array, also ordered:

"Finally come out! Just wait for you! The order is passed, our three-pound cannon is also time to appear!"
