King's Landing in France

Chapter 238 From Today This Is My Famous Quote

An Ning has also been paying attention to the performance of the shooter company.

He excitedly said to the people around him: "Look! There is such a killing efficiency at such a long distance! If we can generally install this thing, and then get the prefabricated ammunition, the form of warfare will be changed!"

An Ning excitedly turned her head to look aside, only to see Berthier's serious face.

He curled his lips, only to realize that the person who can share his joy is not around now-Berthier has always been very measured, and he will not be happy with him like a buddy.

It can be said that the chief of staff has always kept the distance very well, and has always maintained a respectful attitude.

There's nothing wrong with this attitude, but it's a little boring.

An Ning filled himself up again, and while continuing to appreciate the precision marksman he had placed high hopes on, he even took the heads of the coalition engineers, while thinking about how to improve the breech-loading gun in the future.

First of all, we should get out the primer and prefabricated ammunition.

It's a pity that An Ning is a computer student, and his understanding of chemistry is only limited to the comprehensive level of the college entrance examination. It is unrealistic to rub the bottom of the hand.

But An Ning knew who to rub.Now Mr. Equality is his prospective father-in-law, and Mr. Equality's followers are about equal to his followers.

Mr. Equality funded the great chemist Lavoisier.

In real history, Lavoisier was eventually guillotined because of his involvement in politics and tax issues in Paris.

An Ning remembered that in real history, this happened in 1794, that is, there is still one year left.

Now it's too late for Paulavoisier.

While he was thinking about this, Berthier suddenly shouted: "General!"

An Ning suddenly woke up from his distraction, and his consciousness returned to the battlefield. Then he saw the bridge deck of the pontoon bridge above the heads of the coalition soldiers, using the planks and pontoons as shields, rushing towards the river bank forcibly.

"Let the precision shooter company retreat!" An Ning ordered loudly.

However, it was too late. The first wave of coalition forces rushed to the shore, and rushed towards the precision shooters with bayonets in hand.

The precision shooters are in a skirmish formation at this time, and there is a considerable distance between each of them, which means that when facing a part of the enemy's impact formation, the enemy may form a local advantage of more hits and fewer.

Soon several shooters were brought down and the copper-plated breech-loading guns were taken.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces guarding a little behind the precision shooters immediately climbed over the low wall and attacked the small group of enemies crossing the river in a dense formation.

Several enemies were stabbed to death immediately, and several of the stolen guns were recaptured.

However, there were still a few coalition soldiers who ran very fast, and rushed back into the water with their golden rifles.

The National Guard soldiers who rushed to the river immediately fired intensively into the water.

However, at this moment, a solid bullet hit the beach in front of them, but because the beach didn't bounce, it turned into a literal rolling ball.

The rolling shells broke the legs of several people at once.

The tragic wailing sound could be heard even from the position of An Ning.

An Ning frowned, and was about to say something when Berthier suggested, "The soldiers should throw the floating bridge components that have been pushed to the bank into the river."

"Okay, you go and give the order." An Ning nodded.

Prince Schwarzenberg looked at the guns brought back by the death squads who had just crossed the river and charged.

"Reloading from the breech? No wonder you can shoot so fast." He cocked the gun and looked in through the muzzle as he spoke. The problem?"

Schwarzenberg said as he handed the gun to the chief of staff.

The chief of staff fiddled with the mechanical structure of the breech position: "It seems that the lock is okay, but I really can't see how they deal with the problem that the rifling will eat gunpowder residue."

Schwarzenberg: "This kind of weapon needs to be rinsed with water or something after a while to wash away the gunpowder residue from the narrow rifling. In my opinion, this is a weapon that is far from the actual combat stage. The cobbler actually used all these things.

"Well, that's all about Frost's new gun."

Speaking of which, Schwarzenberg turned to the soldier who ran back with the gun: "You swam over, how about it, can your feet reach the bottom of the river?"

The soldier nodded and replied, "You can get there. The river is actually not very deep. Except for the people in the middle line, most people should be able to cross the river by walking."

The current infantry attack formation generally adopts three rows of horizontal formations. The formation rule is that the tallest people are in the first row, the second tallest people are in the third row, and the second row in the middle is mainly dwarfs. .

As for why there is such an arrangement, it is mainly because the Prussian infantry drill code stipulates this.

After the defeat in the Seven Years War, all parties involved in the war basically followed the Prussian regulations, copying them one by one.

During this process, the French did not dare to change the Prussian regulations at all, for fear that if they changed a single word, the regulations would become ineffective, and they would not be able to explode the power of Frederick the Great's era.

The Austrians did not give up much, so the Austrian army was also short and sandwiched in the middle like a tall man with sandwich biscuits.

The Prussian tradition is copied in its entirety, and no one even asks "why make this sandwich biscuit model".

Even if someone wants to ask now, Frederick the Great, who presided over the formulation of the regulations, has passed away. Unless there is a real psychic technique, it is impossible to get the answer.

Schwarzenberg ordered to the chief of staff: "Take the highest platoon in the army as the vanguard, go down the river immediately, and cross the river to attack the mob on the opposite side!"

He paused, and then added: "Under the cover of the shock troops, the engineers quickly complete the assumption of the pontoon bridge!"

**
An Ning saw the coalition forces start to go down the river.

"Damn it, is it the assault just now that let the commander on the other side know that the river is not really deep?"

An Ning muttered.

The upper Marne is not suitable for navigation, the water is shallow and the current is fast.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you can find a place with shallow water depth, you have a certain chance of success in forcibly crossing the river.

Apparently the enemy's assault on the precise shooters just now convinced Prince Schwarzenberg that he had found the shoal he needed.

So he attacked without hesitation.

An Ning looked at the soldiers on the other side who started to make dumplings, and said to Berthier: "Convey my order to the whole army, and the real test will come. France is big, but we have nowhere to go, and Paris is behind us!" "

Berthier: "France is big, but we have nowhere to go... You are a genius at oratory and morale."

No, that's not my original, I copied it...

Forget it, who cares, copied everything, starting today, this sentence is my famous saying.
