The experiment of destroying barbed wire with explosives was quite successful, but the plan to drive away the flock and step on the landmines was abandoned after one experiment. Because during the experiment, they just put a firecracker in the flock, and the whole flock fled in a mess. After a little calculation according to the direction of the flock's escape, they knew that most of the flock had run to other directions.

If you really drive the flock into the formation, you will probably not have too many landmines that can be stepped on, but your ugly appearance will definitely make your morale drop. But everyone can't let the flock line up and sing the Pleasant Goat March and step on the landmines without moving forward, right?

Finally, Bagladion proposed: "The French mines have limited power, so we pushed them in front with a cart, and everyone else followed the rut."

"This will be attacked by French artillery at a long distance." Someone reminded.

When using shotgun, the range of artillery is very limited, while when using solid shells, the range is long, but the range of killing is very limited. It is okay to use line infantry, but it is used to defeat scattered soldiers, and the effect is very average. But if Bagladion uses the method, it is actually moving forward in a column. If it is hit by solid shells, it is a hoist.

"I think since we are going to advance into a column, we should not push any small carts." John said openly, "When we used to fight with the French army on the northern front, the French army lacked training and could not arrange the array at all, so they often used columns. They ran towards us in column mode under the fire.

The column is easy to maintain, even when running. As long as there is enough morale, the army can quickly approach the target. Although the column is bombarded, there will be great casualties once it is hit, because the approach speed is fast, the number of times the artillery can shoot is correspondingly reduced. Moreover, because it is formed, the rifle can only kill one or two people in the front, so the French army attacks quickly and quickly in a column, and the casualties are much smaller than expected.

Once they rushed to the approaching position, the French army spread the column into a horizontal line, then fired a volley, and entered bayonet fighting. Relying on the advantage of numbers and high morale, the French army defeated us again and again with such simple and crude combat methods.

I think pushing the cart in front can certainly reduce the casualties caused by landmines, but it will also slow down our progress, which will force us to withstand more shellings. On the contrary, directly attack by the French in the past..."

Speaking of this, Grand Duke John looked at everyone, then pointed to the map and said, "This is the mine area of ​​the French army. You see, if we enter in a horizontal line, all the mines here will pose a threat to us. But if we enter in a column, most of these mines, except for those that happen to be in front of our column, will lose their function. Compared to walking too slowly and being bombarded, I think it may be the best way to go directly in the French way, the column will advance quickly, then use explosives to blow up the wire, and rush forward to solve the battle with bayonets."

"Yes! Bullets are fools, bayonets are heroes!" Bagladion slapped his hands and agreed.

"It's just that this kind of tactic has very high morale requirements. When we fought with the French army later, we wanted to imitate their tactics. However, we basically failed and we didn't have the high morale as the French army, and we couldn't implement such tactics." Duke John said.

As a general, Duke John was not very outstanding in his original history. Of course, this was related to his unluckyness and was always able to collide with Napoleon. However, this person's political ability was quite outstanding. Of course, he knew what effect he could have at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as this was said, the Russians next to them exploded like a ignited gunpowder depot.

"Isn't it just that I'm not afraid of death? What's the difficulty? Some of our Russians are heroes who are not afraid of death!"

"If you want me to say that what the French can do, there is no reason why we Russians can't do it. I think it's great if that's it!"

"Yes, yes, bayonets are good guys!"

Everyone yelled for a long time, but finally stopped, and many eyes fell on the old marshal Suvorov.

Suvorov looked at the map with his head down and did not make a sound. Finally, he raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said, "Since everyone agrees with this plan, we will organize training based on this plan. After the drill is completed, we will launch a general attack on the French positions."

Just when Napoleon was confronting with the Russian-Austrian coalition forces in Italy, the situation of the French army deteriorated sharply on the northern front. Not long after the French retreated to Liège, the Prussian army chased Liège, and the two sides confronted each other in the Liège area.

During the previous retreat, the French army suffered considerable casualties and lost almost all the artillery. In Liege, although they were supplemented by domestic reinforcements, due to the current strange weapon procurement system, the domestic reserve troops did not receive much weapon procurement costs. As a result, the weapons they could hold were basically smoothbore guns eliminated by the army.

If it weren't for the Liege's fortress to support it, the French army would have been unable to withstand it again.

But a few days later, the British army also arrived with their cannons, and Liege's defense suddenly became precarious.

However, as early as when the French army retreated from Hannover, the French government, especially Kano, had already understood that a major crisis occurred on the northern front. At this time, the best way was of course to recall the Italian army. Otherwise, if the north fails again, there will be another battle for Verdun defense. If Verdun defense fails again, then Paris will really have a white flag floating.

So the governor began to give orders to Napoleon frantically, demanding that Napoleon lead his troops back to the country as soon as possible and go north to fight against Britain. However, Napoleon blocked all these orders on the grounds that the war was fierce and he could not retreat. The governor issued twelve orders to Napoleon within a month, but Napoleon ignored it and kept sitting in the Diaoyutai in Italy.

For more than half a month, the Russian and Austrian coalition forces have been confronting the French army. There were some minor frictions between the two sides from time to time, but no major wars have occurred again. It seems that everyone is on vacation and leisure.
