What Bolkha mentioned is the "bayonet of Guards" not of course, it is not to belittle the combat effectiveness of the sharpshooter, but to emphasize the purpose of Guards' infantry.

Although the sharpshooter has a high marksmanship, due to the limited performance of muskets in this era, it is still fundamentally different from the snipers in World War I and World War II.

The strongest thing about the sharpshooter is to conceal and harass the enemy.

But attacking an established army is not as good as a guard infantry, especially the ability to fight with bayonets. One guard infantry fights two sharpshooters without any pressure!

In the era of queuing and shooting, the final decision is all about bayonets. This is also the reason why the gray animals of the Tsar can still become European road rollers even though they are using low-quality muskets that are constantly problematic.

It's the bayonet!

The line-up in front of the shooting is mainly to break up the enemy's tight formation, or to defeat the enemy's morale, and to create favorable conditions for the final tremor... Oh no, it is a bayonet charge!

If the sharpshooter is forced to charge by bayonets, it is not impossible, but it is too wasteful to do so. The bayonet skills of the guard infantry can reach the top level of the current continent. If it is a sharpshooter, it is only the level of an elite regular army. The sharpshooter's queue level is ultimately worse than that of the guard infantry, and the formation when launching a bayonet charge will definitely be inferior to that of the guard infantry.

In the era of queuing and shooting, whether it is to queuing or launching a bayonet charge, formation is very important!

The tighter the formation, the more you can fight with the bayonet, the greater the advantage you have in the local area, and you can fight with more!

In other words, if you use the sharpshooter bayonet to charge, the number of casualties can be at least discounted if you replace the guard infantry to charge.

Among the senior executives of the Black Dragon Legion, Li Wei repeatedly asked to cherish the lives of soldiers. Boercha naturally did not want to watch the sharpshooter attack the bayonet battle that he was not very good at (compared to the guard infantry).

Carl was not surprised at all when he heard Polkha's proposal, and it was obvious that he had this idea too.

Who said that the Black Dragon Legion's record is too perverted? Even the revolutionary madman has to face it carefully...

"There is indeed a bit too many ten thousand people. It is easy to scare Arnold, the revolutionary general. Then, we will assign four thousand guard infantry soldiers to help the sharpshooters who intercepted both wings.

By the way, we left about a thousand sharpshooters and scattered into the mountains and forests around our army to guard. I don’t want to suddenly rush out from the flanks and behind an enemy charge cavalry regiment from the flanks and behind during the fierce battle."

"The general is wise and leaves six thousand people. Arnault's side has three times the advantage in military strength. Moreover, our army has not built a solid defensive position. The battle between the two sides is no different from the encounter in the wild. Arnault will definitely not miss this opportunity.

I heard that the Marseilles were so arrogant that they defeated the Duke of Marseilles' private guard with 500 volunteers."

"Yes, the slogan of the Paris Revolution is indeed easy to bewitch people's hearts, especially the Paris citizens who are deeply poisoned. Once we attack Paris, they will definitely stick to every neighborhood and every house to fight street battles with us. This is why Lord Levi did not choose to attack Paris as soon as possible.

Just so happens that the results of the Paris Revolution have been taken over by the republicans. These republicans are now fighting endlessly, so let them kill each other first.

For Lord Levi, there are many cities in France that are no less important than Paris!”

The colonels present suddenly became straight, their right arm was raised to an angle of forty-five degrees, their faces were serious, and they shouted: "Long live Lord Li Wei!"

This is a military ritual that has been popular in the Black Dragon Legion recently, used to distinguish it from the French Revolutionary regime.

Of course, the fundamental reason why this set of military ceremonies became popular was Li Wei's vanity at work!

Li Wei seemed to be fascinated by the German military uniforms of a certain period in his previous life...

After the colonels finished shouting, Major General Carl also looked up, raised his right arm with a calm expression and shouted: "Long live Lord Li Wei!"

Li Wei rarely emphasizes his surname in public and always takes pride in his name, which makes the Black Dragon Legion rarely mention Li Wei's surname and only calls Li Wei's name.

This is mainly because Li Wei believes that the surname comes from the glory of the family, and the spread of the name represents the honor he created himself!

What Levi wants to remember in this world is not the Charles family, but the name "Levi"!

It was Levi who created the glory of the Charles family, not the Charles family that made Levi.

This is the difference between Li Wei and the local nobles in this world. He is the soul of a time traveler after all, and he really doesn't feel strong about the family's belonging...

Arno, who had the advantage of light cavalry, naturally learned about the mobilization of the rebels on the opposite side of Li Wei.

This was long as Arno expected. After all, the two wings were detoured not by hundreds or thousands, but by four legions, with a large-scale movement of up to 40,000 people. As long as the commander of the Li Wei rebels was not a fool or a blind man, he would definitely notice it!

Even Arnault's light cavalry could not hide most of his vision in controlling the battlefield.

After all, Arnault's cavalry was only more than Levi's rebels, and it was not really too many to be able to "wrap" the entire battlefield. There were always room for Levi's rebel scouts to rush out to investigate the enemy situation.

The Black Dragon Legion also has cavalry scouts. To be precise, it is a horse-riding scout. A group of sharpshooters barely learn how to ride a horse, and then use their sharpshooters' abilities to avoid enemy scouts to explore the enemy's traces.

Compared to the main force of the Black Dragon Legion, the scouts of the Black Dragon Legion have always been careful. Even after many sharpshooters were discovered by the enemy, they could only give up the horse and get into the complex terrain nearby, use sharpshooters' shooting skills to drive away strong enemies or hide themselves.

Without a professional cavalry team, the scouts of the Black Dragon Legion were not satisfactory.

As for training local cavalry as scouts, the cost is too high (cavalry is an expensive army in any era), and the combat quality of local cavalry is not as good as that of sharpshooters who can ride horses!

Unless Li Wei spends a lot of money and spends a lot of time, he specializes in training a group of light cavalry who can act as scouts.

But when Li Wei rose up, he has been in a state of military service. Where can he have time and money to form a large number of light cavalry scouts?

It’s better to train more sharpshooters who can ride horses to make it easier!

After learning that Li Wei's rebels divided the troops, Arno, who had clearly found out the approximate number of the main forces of Li Wei's rebels on the other side, immediately became confident.

"It won't take long, the Marseille Legion will become the heroic force of the entire France!"
