An analysis of weapons, history and tactics in the movie Patriot ..... A master gives advice, but there is no water on the whiteboard. ...

There is nothing to say about the arms. They are all musket infantry, using broken muskets. History is the background of the anti-British and independence wars of the American continental Coalition forces during the American War of Independence.

Tactics: Europeans fight a gentleman's war. So generally 200 to 300 people form a company, with a commander, a chess player and a drummer. Generally three lines are used. The officer leads the procession at the front, and the drummer keeps the procession in step. Chess players are used to mark the position of teams. Second, the general progress 100 step will stop, and the player will stop with a flagpole.

Fighting is fun, too. Usually you will be modest first. For example, in Britain, the gentleman opposite France will make the first move, and then France will be humble. Everyone will start shooting at a distance of about 20 meters, because the accuracy of muskets is very poor, so they will be arranged in such a dense formation to ensure firepower.

Then everyone shot at each other until the other side broke up and the battle was won.

In addition to the three horizontal lines, there are scattered line pairs and alternating covers. Later, the skirmisher formation was much used and gradually transformed into the current army formation. According to actual combat, although volley is fierce, it is not as good as stragglers shooting indiscriminately, which can crush the morale of the other side, so it is developing in this direction.

But as far as movies are concerned, it is still the battle of early gentlemen.

thank you

In addition, the history is from 1775, when the people of Boston fought against the British in Lexington, USA, to 1783, when Britain signed the Paris Treaty and surrendered in France. The American War of Independence was both a national war of independence and a bourgeois revolution. 1607, the British came to the Atlantic coast of North America and began to establish the first colony of Virginia. After continuous colonization, by the 1930s of 18, Britain had established 13 colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America. During this period, a large number of immigrants moved to North America, most of them were British, many came from other European countries, and many black slaves were trafficked from Africa. They have made important contributions to the development of North America. At that time, the capitalist economy of British North American colonies developed rapidly and became the mainstream of economic development. At the same time, there are also many backward economic components. The colonial rule model was established according to the British political system, and each colony had its own governor and parliament. The Governor-General ruled the colonies on behalf of Britain, and had administrative, economic and military powers, and could veto bills passed by Parliament. After 100 years of development, the economic exchanges between British colonies in North America have become increasingly close, and a unified domestic market has initially formed. At the same time, in the process of long-term communication and integration, English has also changed from various colonies to the same language and gradually produced the same culture. On this basis, the American nation began to form. The national consciousness is gradually awakening. /kloc-In the first half of the 8th century, the Enlightenment spread in the British North American colonies, and some outstanding thinkers emerged, such as Franklin and Jefferson. The national and democratic consciousness of British North American colonies is increasing day by day. /kloc-In the middle of the 0/8th century, the economy of British North American colonies developed rapidly, with developed industry and commerce in the north, abundant wheat in the middle and prosperous plantations in the south. Many products produced in North America can even compete with British products in the international market. In the "Seven Years' War" of 1756- 1763, Britain and France fought a protracted war for the control of the North American colony. Although Britain defeated France and controlled most of North America, it was in financial trouble because of the long-term war. As a result, the British government continuously increased taxes on the North American colonies, implemented a high-pressure policy, and oppressed and brutally exploited the colonies. Britain hopes that North America will always be its raw material producing area and commodity market, and tries its best to suppress the economic development of the colonies and seek more wealth from them. The colonial people were dissatisfied with British exploitation and slavery, and the contradiction between the two sides became increasingly acute, which eventually led to the outbreak of war.
