#1398 line tactics
"Fire!" - With the issuance of this order from El Bernard, a brand new weapon and tactics were officially announced, and world military history began to enter a new chapter.
Musket - undoubtedly a new weapon invented by Dongfang Qingguo.
But the Qingren did not pay attention to this great invention.
On the contrary, El Bernard, who was located on the other side of the mainland, keenly discovered the huge purpose of the musket, and based on the clamping gun of Qingguo, he created a brand new musket - the flintlock gun, and invented a new tactic that can maximize the power of the flintlock gun - the line tactic.
Therefore, I think there is no problem calling El Bernard the "father of muskets".
El Bernard, with his own strength, kicked off the firearm age and changed the form of human war.
In terms of contributions to human military, El Bernard of the Holy Sheeran Empire and Su Cheng of the Britannian Empire are both equally great existences.
Su Cheng left the world with the General Staff.
El Bernard left the world with muskets and line tactics.
The influence of the two on the world has continued until now.
He is truly worthy of being the "two heroes of the West China medieval times".
Interestingly, the names of "Medieval Two Heroes of the Western Land" were quite strange names in the eyes of people at that time.
El Bernard, who was born in the Holy Hillan Empire, was a very strange name in the eyes of the Sheerans at that time.
Su Cheng, who was born in the Britannian Empire, had a very strange name in the eyes of the Britannian people at that time.
Especially Su Cheng, his name is very similar to that of Donglu Qingren. According to the description of Su Cheng's appearance recorded in historical materials, Su Cheng's appearance is more like Donglu people than Xilu people.
It is precisely because of this that the famous academic debate broke out between the Britannian Empire and the Qing Kingdom - "Where is Su Cheng from?"
Of course, these are all later stories.

Chinoll looked worriedly at the new-style troops that were getting closer and closer to the grassland army.
Chinoer was riding a war horse at this time, staying on the left wing of the Sheeran army formation.
Behind him were thousands of elite cavalry from their Far Eastern Front.
The task El assigned to Chinole was very simple.
That is, after hearing the order for attack, he led the cavalry team to launch a fierce assault on the Xilan army's army.
There is no need to choose any assault direction, just keep advancing deep into the grassland army formation.
Although El had told him about the fighting style of this new force and also told him that this new force had extremely strong combat power, Chinore had always been half-believing and half-doubting about El's words.
He did not think that the weapon called "musket", which is very lethal, can have.
A group of senior generals led by Chinoll have proposed to El more than once that the hope of victory should not be placed on this so-called new force.
But no matter how Chinole and the others persuaded him, El was unmoved.
He insisted on using this new-style unit trained by him to launch a first attack and a first attack on the grassland army.
Not only should this new-style unit launch a first attack and first attack on the grassland army, El also had to leave the team, go to the front line, advance with this new-style unit, and personally command the new-style unit to fight.
After learning that El was planning to leave the front line and personally went to command the troops, Chinoll and others naturally opposed it.
But—if nothing unexpected happens, Chinole and others’ opposition failed again.
El and Gabriel are now located at the center of the new army, and are heading straight towards the grassland army ahead with the generals and soldiers of this new army.
Looking at the new-style troops getting closer and closer to the grassland army, Chinore began to burst into cold sweats in his palms and forehead.
......
......
Grassland Army, our formation—
"General."
A general hesitated to Yegutai.
"What should we do now?"
As soon as the general finished speaking, Yegutai laughed loudly and said:
"Is this a question?"
"Of course we start the attack and take off the head of the stupid commander of the Sheeran army!"
"I have fought a war all my life, and it's the first time I've seen such a stupid commander!"
"Since the infantry has allowed to charge against the cavalry army without spears and crossbows."
"And the charge is so slow!"
"When will we not launch a general attack at this time and destroy the Sheeran army, when will we wait?"
"Transfer our military orders! 20,000 cavalry will be sent to flatten the enemy who dares to launch a slow charge on our army!"
......
......
A dull sound like thunder kept coming into the ears of El and Gabriel.
It also came into the ears of musketeers and musicians.
The musicians, together with El and Gabriel, stayed in the middle of the Musketeers' army.
This is the first time musicians have been on the battlefield.
The first time I went to the battlefield, I faced the brutal grassland army, and there was a total of 300,000 troops. I have to say that these musicians are also quite unlucky.
Tens of thousands of grassland cavalry had formed wedge formations and launched an assault on the musketeers.
Looking at the grassland cavalry running towards them at a very fast speed, the bodies of some musicians began to tremble in fear.
Because some musicians can no longer play trumpets and drums, the originally passionate "Murderer March" has also begun to get a little out of tune.
"Don't panic!"
El shouted.
"keep going!"
Hearing El's shout, the fear in the hearts of the musicians was slightly relieved.
The reason why El insisted on going to the front line and following the musketeers was, on the one hand, because no one in the army knew how to command the musketeers except him.
The other reason - without his leadership, the morale and fighting spirit of the musicians might collapse.
As El thought, with his own hands in charge and command, the police officers and musicians were still scared, but they were not afraid so much that their whole bodies were shaking.
The grassland cavalry gradually accelerated.
The musketeers continued to step on the drum beats and slowly walked towards the grassland cavalry with neat steps.
El was silently calculating the distance between the two armies.
Gabriel, who was standing beside him, asked anxiously to El from time to time:
"El, isn't it okay yet? The grassland cavalry is coming quickly!"
"It's not going well yet," El said directly without looking back, "It's not far away."
......
......
The grassland cavalry were close enough to see their faces clearly.
Not only the musicians, but some musketeers' faces also began to turn gray and cold sweats began to appear on their faces.
They were all thinking: Can't you stop yet? The grassland cavalry is coming soon!
Under the expectation, El finally shouted loudly:
Chapter completed!
