The offensive formations of the following brigades were not as neat as the first brigade, but they all managed to maintain their formation until the end.
An Ning was very satisfied, as at least he could fight offensive battles in the wilderness in the future.
After the infantry brigade finished, it was the turn of the ladies who were still infantrymen. I don’t know if there was a confrontational mentality, but the formation of the ladies in skirts was not as good as that of the first brigade, but it looked much better than other brigades.
Kano once again suggested: "In my opinion, they are very good skirmishers. Since we can't get so many horses for the time being, let's use them as skirmishers. Skirmishers need less training, but they need to be higher."
Fighting spirit."
After all, skirmishers fight in a dispersed manner, and are physically farther away from their non-commissioned officers during battle. Therefore, skirmishers need a higher desire to fight and cannot be forced to join the battlefield.
Because of this, except for Austria, which has a tradition of using skirmishers, skirmishers in other countries are often served by criminals and street gangsters, who have a subjective desire to kill and set fire.
So what Kano said actually makes sense. The cavalry also needs to have more desire to fight, because when most cavalry units are running, the officers can't control the people below, and the formation breaks up while running.
He didn't have the will to fight, so he charged half of the way first.
Therefore, the discipline of the cavalry is also poor, especially the hussars, who are basically horse bandits turned regular.
Theoretically speaking, since ladies can be used as cavalry, they can also be used as skirmishers.
An Ning: "Are you sure you can train the ladies into skirmishers before we go out to fight next time?"
Kano: "Skirmishers don't need much training, the key is fighting spirit."
An Ning: "Okay, let's give it a try. I don't want ladies to have to fight hand-to-hand with regular line infantry."
"Understood, I will train the ladies well." Lazar Cano said confidently.
At this time, the Sunset Knights, who were the last to hold the line, began to form an offensive formation.
Their formation is quite neat, even better than Davout's 1st Brigade. It can only be said that they are worthy of being a team of all non-commissioned officers, who have all received rigorous training in their respective non-commissioned officer schools for many years.
When the team was halfway through, the knights in white began to shout in unison: "We are the general's sharp blades! We are the ghosts of the old era!"
An Ning frowned: "Who arranged this?"
Kano: "It wasn't me, they should have prepared it themselves."
An Ning: "In the National Guard, which represents the new era, there are a group of ghosts from the old era... After a while, when the civil war intensifies, will we be considered a white party or a blue party?"
This is the classification method after the French Civil War has completely intensified. Those who support the National Assembly are the Blue Party, and those who support the restoration of the King are the White Party.
Kano: "Then it depends on your choice."
At this time, Davout rode over and saluted An Ning: "The entire army's offensive formation drill is over, please give instructions."
An Ning: "Start practicing the formation changes."
"clear!"
After Davout left, An Ning turned to the cavalry commander, Valerie de Olivier, the head of the Knights of the Guards, and ordered: "Let the girls prepare, let these big-headed soldiers experience the majesty of a cavalry charge."
"Yes." Valerie saluted, turned the horse's head and left.
Beethoven muttered: "She is completely silent. I didn't realize she was here."
An Ning: "Because she is a palace guard knight. In the palace, they cannot speak without the superior person speaking first."
"So that's it."
An Ning called to the herald again: "Command, order the artillery to stop firing."
"yes!"
The sound of artillery firing gradually subsided, and on the smoke-filled ground, the troops that were originally horizontal formations began to change into square formations.
Lazar Cano was still keeping time with a pocket watch.
Two thousand and five cavalrymen led by the Knights of the Guards made a rumbling sound and cut in from one side of the battlefield, rushing towards the infantry team that had just formed a square formation.
This scene is indeed very spectacular.
Only 2,500 cavalrymen had such a majestic power. You can imagine how powerful the 40,000 French cavalrymen charged together at Waterloo were.
No wonder Ney felt that the fight could be ended with an impact.
It's a pity that the phalanx is too effective against the current cavalry without heavy vests.
An Ning saw his troops forming a square formation, which looked like a rock on the river beach. The formation of the cavalry was like flowing water, and they separated when they encountered the rock.
An Ning was feeling the atmosphere of the battlefield, while Lazar Cano was evaluating the training level of the troops: "Yes, no one dropped their guard when facing the cavalry attack. Of course, it may be because they knew it was an exercise."
An Ning: "We will know if they can really resist when we go to the battlefield and try it out."
However, if you encounter an organized cavalry brigade on the battlefield, you will probably have to wait for the Anti-French Alliance to break in.
An Ning: "I think it's almost done. Blow the trumpet and close the team."
The trumpeter who had been following An Ning immediately took out his "weapon" and blew the trumpet to withdraw troops.
Lazar Cano still held his pocket watch and observed the entire training ground.
It seems that the speed of troop retraction is also one of his assessment items.
An Ning looked at the troops in action and thought, I'm ready for war. The next thing to decide is how to use this already trained army.
Historically, the National Assembly took the initiative to declare war on foreign countries and spread revolution in countries surrounding France only after November 1791.
Before that, An Ning had no intention of consuming his troops.
He was prepared to ignore domestic rebellions.
Anyway, there is no rebellion around Konta, right? You can worry about the rebel National Assembly in other places by yourself.
As for the war with Prussia and Austria, An Ning also planned to edge OB. Anyway, according to the historical process, the French revolutionary army led by Dumouriez won this time, and he only needed to assist Dumouriez.
.
As for when he would devote all his efforts to the army he had run, An Ning thought that it would be when the emperor was about to make a fortune, so he would help out and put all his effort into it.
That's right, the Battle of Toulon is when I will use my full strength. When the time comes, the emperor will definitely be thinking about me, the minister of Longxing, and give me great benefits.
An Ning thought about it with a smile on her face.
At this moment, a messenger rode up to An Ning and saluted: "Your Excellency, General! There is a second lieutenant asking to see you! He said he is an acquaintance of yours!"
An Ning didn't notice the problem yet and responded casually: "Let him come over."
Before the messenger left, the second lieutenant came over on horseback: "I'm already here, Andy, it's me!"
An Ning glanced at the man and almost fell off his horse.
It's Napoleon Bonaparte!
No! Shouldn't you be licking Paulie in Corsica now? Why are you back now?
Napoleon smiled and said: "I heard that you are in short supply of officers now, so as soon as I landed in Toulon, I ran here non-stop. I'm here to join you!"
An Ning couldn't close her jaw: "What about Corsica's independence?"
Napoleon: "Forget it, Pauli doesn't understand revolution at all. He just wants to restore the old ways in Corsica! There is no revolution at all with these insects! I have thought about it for a long time, and what is happening in France is more important.
Exciting me.
"That's why I'm here! Just tell me, what should we do next?"
