King's Landing in France

Chapter 127 It's messed up, it's all messed up
The offensive formations of the next few 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, so that at least he could fight offensive battles in the wilderness in the future.

After the infantry brigade is gone, it is the turn of the ladies who are currently infantrymen.I don't know if there is a confrontational mentality. Although the formation of the ladies wearing skirts is not as good as that of the first brigade, it looks much better than other brigades.

Kano suggested again: "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 higher horses. Fighting spirit."

After all, stragglers fight in a scattered manner, and the physical distance between them and their non-commissioned officers is farther when fighting, so stragglers need to have a higher desire to fight, and they cannot be people who are forced to fight on the battlefield.

Because of this, except for Austria, which has a tradition of using skirmishers, the skirmishers of other countries are often served by criminals and street sneakers, who are subjectively motivated to kill and set fire.

So what Kano said actually has some truth. The cavalry also requires more desire to fight, because when most cavalry units are running, the officers can't control the people below, and the formation will fall apart as they run.

Without the intention to fight, he charged and ran halfway first.

Therefore, the discipline of the cavalry is also poor, especially the hussars, who are basically horse bandits who have become regulars.

Theoretically speaking, since women can serve as cavalry, they can also serve as skirmishers.

An Ning: "Are you sure you can train the ladies into skirmishers before we go out to fight next time?"

Kano: "Scattered soldiers don't need much training, the key is fighting spirit."

An Ning: "Okay, it's good to try it. I don't want the ladies to fight hand-to-hand with regular line infantry."

"Understood, I will train the ladies well." Lazar Kano said confidently.

At this time, the Sunset Knights who were the last to hold the formation began to form an offensive formation.

Their formation is quite neat, even better than Davout's [-]st Brigade.It can only be said that it is worthy of being a team of all non-commissioned officers, and they have all received years of rigorous training in their respective non-commissioned officer schools.

Halfway through the procession, the knights in white began to shout in unison: "We are the general's sharp blade! We are the ghosts of the old age!"

An Ning frowned: "Who arranged this?"

Kano: "It's not me, they should have prepared it themselves."

An Ning: "In the National Self-Defense Force representing the new era, there are a group of ghosts from the old era... After a while, when the civil war intensifies, are we the white party or the blue party?"

This is the classification method after the French Civil War has been thoroughly 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: "That depends on your choice."

At this time, Davu came over on horseback and saluted An Ning: "The whole army's offensive formation drill is over, please give instructions."

An Ning: "Start practicing the transformation of the phalanx."

"understand!"

After Davout left, An Ning turned to the cavalry commander and head of the Knights of the Guards, Valerie de Oliver, and ordered: "Let the girls prepare, and let these leading soldiers experience the majesty of the cavalry's impact."

"Yes." Valerie saluted, turned her horse 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, the higher-ranking people can't speak unless they speak first."

"So it is."

An Ning called the herald again: "Order, order the artillery to stop firing."

"Yes!"

The sound of artillery shooting gradually subsided, and on the ground full of smoke, the troops that were originally in horizontal formations began to change into square formations.

Lazar Cano was still keeping a pocket watch and keeping time.

The two thousand five cavalry led by the Knights of the Guards cut in from the side of the battlefield with a rumbling sound, and rushed towards the infantry that had just formed a phalanx.

This scene is indeed very spectacular.

Only [-] cavalry have such prestige. One can imagine how powerful the [-] French cavalry charged together at Waterloo.

No wonder Ney felt that a blow would end a fight.

It's a pity that the phalanx is so effective against cavalry who don't have heavy vests now.

An Ning saw that his troops formed a phalanx, just like the rocks on the river beach. The formation of the cavalry was like flowing water, and they separated when they encountered rocks.

An Ning was feeling the atmosphere of the battlefield, and Lazar Cano was evaluating the training level of the troops: "Yes, no one lost the chain in the face of the cavalry attack. Of course, it may be because they know that this is an exercise."

An Ning: "We'll know if they can really resist when we actually try it on the battlefield."

However, if you encounter an organized cavalry brigade on the battlefield, you probably have to wait for the anti-French alliance to come in.

An Ning: "I think it's almost ready, blow the horn and close the team."

The trumpeter who had been following An Ning immediately took out his "weapon" and blew the call to withdraw troops.

Lazar Kano was still holding his pocket watch, observing the entire practice field.

The speed at which troops gather seems to be one of his assessment items.

An Ning looked at the troops in action and thought to herself that I was ready for war.The next thing to decide is how to use this trained army.

Historically, the National Assembly took the initiative to declare war on foreign countries, and it was after November 1791 that it wanted to spread revolution in countries around France.

Before that, An Ning didn't intend to consume his troops.

He is ready to ignore the domestic rebellion.

Anyway, there is no rebellion around Konta, right? You can worry about the rebellious National Assembly in other places.

As for the war with Prussia and Austria, An Ning also intends to be on the verge of OB. Anyway, according to the historical process, the reform army led by Di Mourier won this time, and he just needs to give Di Mourier an assist. .

As for when to fully invest in the army that he managed, An Ning figured that it should be when Nahuang was about to make a fortune, so he could help out and put in all his strength.

That's right, the Battle of Toulon is when I will do my best. At that time, Nahuang will definitely remember me, the minister of Longxing, and give me great benefits.

An Ning made such calculations, with a smile on his face.

At this moment, an orderly rode up to An Ning and saluted: "Your Excellency, General! There is a second lieutenant asking to see you! He said he is your acquaintance!"

An Ning hadn't noticed the problem yet, so she responded casually, "Let him come over."

Before the orderer left, the second lieutenant rode over: "I'm already here, Andy, it's me!"

An Ning glanced at the man and almost fell off the horse.

It's Napoleon Bonaparte!
its not right!Shouldn't you be licking Paulie in Corsica right now?Why are you back now?

Napoleon smiled and said, "I heard that you are in short supply of officers, so I ran here non-stop as soon as I landed in Toulon. I'm here to join you!"

An Ning couldn't close her jaw: "Where is Corsica becoming independent?"

Napoleon: "Don't mention it, Pauli doesn't understand revolution at all, he just wants to restore the old way in Corsica! With these insects, there is no revolution at all! I thought for a long time, or what is happening in France is more important. Excites me.

"So I'm here! Just tell me, what shall we do next?"
