Chapter 718 If you line up to shoot me, I will kill you
The war in line to kill is extremely cruel. The armies of both sides not only compete in the level of combat skills, but also in the courage to be brave and fearless.
In this era, Europeans are not so courageous. You should know that once the nobles and knights encounter difficulties, they will choose to surrender and wait for themselves to be redeemed.
However, in the era of queuing and shooting, bullets do not have eyes. Those lead bullets flying around on the battlefield, no matter whether you are a noble or a civilian, you will either die or be injured if you catch them. Moreover, the damage to lead bullets is extremely difficult to cure. Even if they are cured, there is a high possibility that an arm or leg will be cut.
If the military style is still the same as today, many old-school noble officers would probably not have time to surrender and would be killed and injured by flying bullets. If the military soldiers have poor discipline and not strong enough willpower, once the commander is shot, the army will be extremely prone to collapse.
Moreover, even modern troops with very strict disciplines are prone to accidents when fighting a war of queuing and shooting. Of course, this is nothing for veterans who ignore death. But for those new recruits who have just started the battlefield, queuing and shooting is a little cruel for them.
On the battlefield where the smoothbore guns were lined up to bet on their own because of the accuracy of the smoothbore gun, the soldiers standing in the front row were all gambling their lives - betting that the other party's bullets could not fly. This way of gambling on life is good for veterans, but for new recruits, the mental pressure was too great. Therefore, later, in the war, those standing in the front row were often veterans. Otherwise, if the new recruits were frightened, they would easily collapse and escape, and they would not be able to fight...
Some people may say - that's simple, you learn from the British lobster soldiers, after shooting at thirty yards, start a bayonet charge...
If anyone thinks like this, Marin, who has fought many wars, will definitely swear in person - you Sabi...
Why do you say so? Because this is determined by the background of the times...
The British lobster soldiers' approaching volleys. The tactic of charge was in the 18th century, which was in line with the social background at that time. Why? Because the army was replaced with muskets at that time. After getting bayonets, everyone's weapons were about the same length. When fighting, whoever is brave wins...
But what about this era? This is the beginning of the 16th century! You know, the plate armored knight has not been completely swept into the garbage dump by muskets. At this time, if you ask the muskets to put a bayonet and launch a charge, it will definitely be a pity!
Facing the musketeers who charge with bayonets, don’t have many. Just send hundreds of plate-armored knights on the other side, you can tear the musketeers’ charge formation and then massacre them. Without lead bullets, musketeers holding bayonets, facing the plate-armored knights who are not afraid of swords, there is no difference between them and the chickens waiting to be slaughtered.
Not only that, the musketeers who were bayonets stabbed against the spearmen with spears several meters long opposite, and they were looking for death. The spears of the spears of the rifles were only a meter long. The spears of the Swiss spears were several meters long. The spears of the Swiss spears were several meters long. You were a musketeer, and the musketeers were only sixty or seventy centimeters long. You rushed forward with a bayonet, and they were still several meters away from the other person, and they were stabbed to death by a spear. There was no way, the length was not enough, you could not reach the enemy, but the enemy had stabbed you long ago...
For an inappropriate example, Yao Ming and Pan Changjiang fought. Yao Ming didn't need to do anything, just stretched his arms and pressed against Pan Changjiang. With the length of Old 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 were too long. As long as he held back Uncle Pan, Uncle Pan could not reach Yao Ming's body, no matter whether it was his arms or legs...
Therefore, bayonets are definitely not magical tools. They depend on what era they are in and what weapons their opponents use.
Some people may have said - Oh, it seems that in the Crow War, the British army defeated the defenders of Zhenjiang with bayonets. But you must know that the weapons that guard Zhenjiang are mostly not long weapons! The weapons used by the flag soldiers in Zhenjiang are quite proportional to the bird gun - the cobine gun passed down from the Ming Dynasty, and there is no bayonet yet. In addition, the waist sword used by the flag soldiers, this thing is definitely shorter than the musket with bayonets. If it is not a person with high martial arts skills (such as the 29th Army
The Big Sword Team, if you meet someone holding a bayonet, you will definitely not be able to get it. However, the spear can still fight with the British bayonet. However, the ones who use spears in the Qing army were definitely inferior soldiers, and their combat power and will to be the worst. Those who have a little status will definitely get a sheathed waist knife and will to have some martial arts. The spear soldiers are generally cannon fodder soldiers. Even the old men who use waist knives and bird guns have been defeated. Do those who use spears still have the will to fight?
Moreover, the one who guards Zhenjiang and does not escape is more than 1,500 flag soldiers. Since they are men, they will definitely not use a weapon like a spear that is depreciating, like a miscellaneous soldier. They are standard for getting a good waist knife and riding a Mongolian horse. Only those who are very miserable will use a weapon of cannon fodder soldiers such as a spear. Those who are ordinary, use a bird gun without a bayonet...
Therefore, the British army dared to launch a bayonet charge against the defenders of Zhenjiang. In addition to having the number of people, they would bully the opponent's weapons. If they encounter a Swiss spearman holding a spear several meters long, Nimad would try to launch a bayonet charge? The musketeers had no armor at all, and when they faced the spear, they were stabbed accurately...
...
Therefore, Marin would not use bayonets to fight against enemies with a large number of musketeers. Because in this era, musketeers were a minority and mainstream, and they were definitely spearmen and plate-armored knights. Faced with these two arms, musketeers with bayonets rushed forward and looked for abuse. Instead of doing so, it would be better to stand and put a few more rows of guns. With the advantage of the number of musketeers of Marin's army, they can still suppress the opponent's musketeers by shooting.
Moreover, Marin's army now uses clockwork to fire muskets without fuse. In this way, musketeers do not need to separate 1 Miller from each other, and there is no need to worry that gunpowder is ignited by the fuse of the people around them.
But other countries are different. They currently do not have the technology to fire muskets, so they can only use a mezzanine. In this way, Marin's musketeers can achieve the density of musketeers that is twice as high as their opponents. The firepower density is naturally twice as high. When shooting against each other, they will definitely have an advantage...
Of course, Napoleon's experience tells Marin that when dealing with the musketeers on the opposite side, artillery is the king. Especially when facing the dense queue of musketeers standing in front of the opposite side, a ball will be smashed over and take away a line of musketeers. Don't be too happy...
The only problem is that if you use a lot of artillery, this gunpowder consumes a bit...
You should know that it only takes 10 grams of gunpowder to shoot once. When shooting artillery, if you use a 6-pound cannon, according to the ratio of gunpowder to shells, a single charge will take 2 pounds - this can be fired 90 shots... If hundreds of gunpowder are fired in a row... Oh my God, gunpowder is not enough... Unless there is a stable source of a large amount of gunpowder...
