Due to the inherent shortcomings of front-loading muskets, the modern army's line-up shooting tactics, the closer the lines of the two armies are to each other, the higher the accuracy of the hit.
In the colonial era, the British Army's first volley firing standard was that firing was only allowed within 50 meters of the enemy.
Basically, the British army only needs to fire three rounds, and the enemy army will completely collapse because it cannot withstand the huge pressure of death.
To put it bluntly, the tactic of queuing to kill only tests one thing: whose military discipline is stricter!
As long as military discipline is strict, even if someone is afraid of death, they will not have the guts to run away!
Most of the ordinary soldiers in the Rakshasa Kingdom's army are serfs captured from young men.
These illiterate serf soldiers had no military discipline at all. They killed, burned, looted and committed all kinds of evil.
Looking at the new army that Yuzhu has trained for so many years, not only are they all well-educated, but they are also treated extremely well.
To put it bluntly, what Yuzhu learned was the German Army's approach after World War I, where ordinary soldiers were treated as if they were company and platoon leaders and underwent rigorous training.
Once it is necessary to expand the army, combat effectiveness can be quickly formed.
If basic survival requirements such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation cannot be guaranteed for soldiers at the bottom, don't expect the army to still have combat effectiveness.
Historically, Han Chinese armies were basically elite soldiers as long as they were fully paid and rationed.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the few servant troops privately maintained by various military generals were indeed elite troops.
Once the servants are defeated, the entire army will be routed thousands of miles away.
To be honest, no one is stupid. After the food and salary of ordinary Ming army soldiers were deducted at all levels, they only got a few big bucks?
Why should you work for the imperial court?
After three rounds of volley fire from a distance of 50 meters, nearly a thousand Rakshasa people fell.
Such huge casualties made the serf soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom completely frightened.
Many serf soldiers who were greedy for life and feared death subconsciously dropped their guns, turned around and ran away.
Yuzhu seized the opportunity of the Rakshasa people's chaos and decisively ordered: "Order the Sauron cavalry to attack the Rakshasa people's left wing with the entire army!"
Well, Yuzhu finally used the trump card that he had hidden until the end, the more than 800 Sauron cavalry.
The main reason why Sauron's cavalry are so powerful is that they are uncivilized and are as brave as the savages and dare to eat raw meat with blood.
After receiving the order, Sanji immediately drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Follow me."
On the frontal battlefield, the New Army soldiers continued to fire continuously under Yuzhu's orders.
On the side battlefield, Sauron's cavalry was like a tiger descending from the mountain, fiercely pounced into the Rakshasa people's left flank.
Under the flanking attack, the Rakshasa serf soldiers who could not withstand the attack were completely frightened and ran away one after another.
After the Rakshasa people were defeated as a whole, Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered: "Blow the charge horn!"
"Didi-did-didi-did..." After the loud charge horn sounded, the New Army soldiers carried out their rifles with bayonets in an overwhelming force and pounced on the Rakshasa people on the opposite side with great ferocity.
"Pfft." After the bayonet penetrated the Rakshasa man's back, the shed director Zhang Dalin subconsciously raised his leg and kicked hard. The bayonet was immediately pulled out of the enemy's body, and blood immediately spurted out.
"puff."
"puff."
"puff."
More New Army soldiers had no time to talk nonsense and mechanically repeated the same set of actions: catching up with the enemy, stabbing out the bayonet, raising their legs to kick, pulling out the bayonet, and then chasing the next enemy.
The army was defeated like a mountain!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Stark quickly climbed onto his horse, turned around and fled.
After the Rakshasa people were defeated across the board, Yuzhu gave the order again, blowing the call to arms and ordering the new army soldiers to stay and clean up the battlefield.
The five thousand green battalion soldiers, who had been preparing for the attack for a long time, immediately mobilized to chase the retreating Rakshasa people.
This person is all selfish!
As we all know, cleaning the battlefield is actually the easiest time to make a fortune!
In today's duel between the two armies, the New Army indeed suffered heavy losses. According to Yuzhu's rough estimate, the total number of casualties must have exceeded more than 300 people.
The Rakshasa people have always had the old tradition of carrying the looted property with them. The new army stayed to clean up the battlefield. One could make timely finishing blows, and the other could steal the riches of the dead Rakshasa ghosts.
Yuzhu turned his horse back to the commander's flag, got off the horse, and sat on the horse.
Niu Tai quickly handed over the skin bag filled with tea. Yuzhu took the skin bag and took two sips of the cold tea soup.
At this time, Hongxi, who was stunned, had also come to his senses, and hurriedly came to Yuzhu to flatter him.
"Uncle Zhu directs the battle, just like chopping melons and vegetables, causing the Rakshasa people to flee. Uncle Zhu, you are worthy of being my number one Batulu in the Qing Dynasty!"
"Uncle Zhu, my nephew admires your command Ruoding..."
"Uncle Zhu..."
While enjoying Hong Xi's compliment, Yuzhu narrowed his eyes and stared at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.
The Rakshasa people were able to continuously invade eastward and southward, mainly in Siberia, building large-scale bastion-type military fortresses.
Last time, when Yuzhu led his troops to attack Yakutsk, he not only robbed the Rakshasa people's finances and took away the beautiful Rakshasa women, but also used the gunpowder in stock to destroy the foundation of the fortress.
In line with the principle that since we are here, we cannot take the empty route, Yuzhu said with a smile: "I want to take advantage of the victory to attack the Rakshasa people's southern town of Kuzletsk. I don't know, what do you think?"
Hong Xi's eyes rolled slightly, and she silently made some calculations in her heart.
If Kuzletsk is captured and destroyed, within 30 years, the Rakshasa people will lose their base for the southern invasion.
Since we are here to gain military glory, why not simply gain a big vote?
Showing off one's power outside the territory can not only make Hanma Falong happy, but also take advantage of the situation to frighten the ambitious uncles. Why not?
"Uncle Zhu, my nephew is only following your instructions. I am willing to sign a joint discount!" Hongxi is worthy of being the great saint grandson that the old emperor has loved for so many years. He took the initiative to propose a joint discount without waiting for Yuzhu to say anything.
thing.
Well, the coach and assistant coach have reached an agreement. Does anyone else need to ask?
The pursuit lasted for three days in total.
The main reason is that the Mongolian cavalry, forgetting their wealth and loyalty, bit the tail of the defeated Rakshasa people and pursued them relentlessly.
Yuzhu can also understand the thoughts of the Mongolian cavalry.
These people bring their own dry food, weapons, horses and fodder. If they unfortunately die in battle, they will not receive a penny in pension.
What is the goal? Isn't it just to pursue and make a fortune after victory?
After this battle, the Rakshasa invading army of 12,000 people was almost completely wiped out.
Only Commander Stark, with a small number of guards, managed to escape the pursuit.
When taking inventory after the war, Yuzhu took the summarized battle report and felt somewhat regretful.
The heads of Rakshasa people actually exceed 10,000 heads.
Alas, the hand is too cruel. Why not keep some of the prisoners and offer them to the capital?
