011 The impact of queuing for execution

Many smart rioters saw the front row falling down in groups, and immediately blew oiled away from the large army and ran away from the town of Charles.

Due to the chaotic organization of this peasant uprising army, almost all rely on the personal prestige of each leader to restrain the troops. There are no special troops such as the firing squad and military police to maintain order, let alone punish deserters!

As a result, others saw that those "smart ghosts" ran away and immediately triggered a group effect.

The defenders of Charles Town are too cruel, they don't want to die!

As a result, more and more people escaped, but in such a large team, there are always some people who are determined to get stubborn, or are born with a sense of honey superiority, and always feel that they can do it!

This small group of people carried the rioters who were confused and slow to react, and continued to move forward in the three-stage shooting opposite.

However, every round of platoons would wake up and knock down a group of people. In addition, there were still continuous shots of lead bullets on the wall of Charles' town opposite, forming a cross-fire with the ring chest base below, causing the brave team to fall and collapse before they could reach the ten meters in front of the formation...

In fact, after the first three-round volleyball, this rebel army of more than 2,000 people became polarized. The escaped people and the young man went forward and backward, pulling the thick and steady team apart, becoming thinner and thinner.

As the team ahead became more and more casualties, even the rioters who were slow to react came back to their senses and joined the escaped team.

The final result was that in just a few minutes, a large army of more than 2,000 people dispersed!

Standing on the mail tower behind, Li Wei, who was holding a monocular telescope in his hand, saw this scene, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and ordered the messenger beside him: "Tell Major Carl that you can implement the plan!"

Li Wei's order did not affect the battle on the front line. After the rioting farmers collapsed, the soldiers of the infantry regiment, who were staying in the circular chest, immediately rushed out with bayonets under the leadership of their respective officers, led by the company and even the squad.

The company of the first line of infantry regiments is roughly about 100 people, and the military band and other service personnel are just over 100.

In the first line infantry regiment, military bands and other chores are also capable of combat effectiveness, but they are not equipped with flintlock rifles, but are waist knives and flintlock hand guns for self-defense.

Never underestimate the importance of military bands in the era of queuing and shooting. The position of military bands in this era in the infantry ranks is second only to the commander!

As the name suggests, line infantry is an infantry that relies on line-based square arrays to fight. To maintain the overall action of the square array, it must be adjusted by sounds such as drum beats and beats, otherwise it will be easy to get messy when you go to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the infantry in the line was moving side by side. If everyone was in a messy way and stepped on the heels on the front toes, it would easily cause chaos in the entire queue. On the battlefield, this was no different from suicide.

However, with the cooperation of military drum beats, as long as there is a certain degree of rigorous training, the queue will rarely be in chaos.

To this end, there is an unwritten rule on the battlefield of the era of queuing and shooting, prohibiting targeting commanders and military bands from shooting.

At first, many people followed this rule in various countries. Until Napoleon's rise, the boy's favorite thing was to break the rules. Napoleon even took the initiative to teach his troops to shoot and kill the enemy's commanders and military bands first when they go to the battlefield, disrupt the rhythm and drum beats of the enemy's military formation, and create opportunities for his own attack.

So, this unspoken rule was completely scrapped...

Even so, European countries did not dare to abolish the military band, and at most they allowed the commander who was originally in the front to follow the team.

Later in the 21st century, military bands not only became the standard configuration for honor guards in various countries, but also went deep into major universities and even primary and secondary schools!

Of course, many things from the Army in this era have become the prototype of the standards of later generations.

For example, the most common pedaling is the original prototype not the parade of a beard, but comes from the line infantry walking forward with drum beats!

In order to ensure the soldiers' pace is consistent on the battlefield, elite line infantry are required to raise their legs as much as possible during training. This makes it easier to fall down at the same time and prevent each other from stepping on the heels.

Later it evolved into a steadily stance!

Of course, the waving postures of marching forward and backward are also transmitted from the line infantry. When the line infantry advances, they carry guns with one hand and swing back and forth with the other hand to form a consistent rhythm point with the people around them.

Even the modern military system of later generations was passed down from the European line infantry era, which is commonly known as modern times.

The company during this period was a basic tactical unit. Each company had about one hundred people. The standards of each country were different. Each company would form a standard line array, and the square array was used as the overall maneuver on the battlefield.

Therefore, the lowest-level officers in this era commanded this square formation.

The second lieutenant in the company is the lowest, followed by the lieutenant and the captain. Generally speaking, a senior lieutenant or captain will become the chief officer of a company.

When you reach the level of a major, you will step into the threshold of an intermediate officer and belong to another level of officer.

In the French Kingdom of this world, the combat units above the company are combat battalions, and majors and lieutenant colonels generally serve as chief and deputy positions in combat battalions.

However, many European countries will set up a corps on top of the battalions, but the corps usually temporarily organize several battalions to piece together.

The commander of the corps is at least a colonel. It can be said that the colonel is already a quasi-senior officer who can stand alone.

The general who goes up has a status comparable to that of the middle and upper class nobles of various countries!

It is obvious that this modern military system has continued to later generations, and later generations have only been considered regular officers when they were second lieutenants, and only non-commissioned officers were under second lieutenants.

The prototype of the non-commissioned officer in modern times is those soldiers, commonly known as veterans.

He is not a veteran, but a veteran who has made contributions!

In the company phalanx, each row of soldiers is generally fixed, which is convenient for management and is responsible for a second lieutenant.

The platoon-level combat units in later generations evolved from this, which is also the source of the second lieutenant becoming a platoon-level officer.

At the grassroots level, only combat units at the squad level evolved by themselves in later generations and had nothing to do with the era of queuing and shooting.

It is no exaggeration to say that the military system of the era of queuing to shoot has affected the whole world!
