I have to say that when we said this, although our leader Li was illiterate, his words were not rough. Simple words can often arouse people's fighting spirit, and are more effective than polite principles.
An hour later, smoke and dust filled the air, and the imperial army was less than five miles away from Linhai City.
Esdeth rode a dragon-shaped dangerous species, frowning and looking down at the defense line of the Red Banner Army in front.
There are ravines and ravines, and there are rows and rows of barbed wire. The soldiers of the Red Banner Army are holding bolt-action rifles and waiting in the trenches. There are a few big guys covered with black cloth beside them.
"Is it really a hot weapon for all members? With this terrain, it's a genius idea."
Estes sighed in admiration.
The empire is not without hot weapons, even artillery, but because of weight and road problems, the imperial army did not carry too much on this trip, and the tactics are still similar to the queues and shootings of the earth in the middle of the 17th century, this old-fashioned line tactics.
Of course, what’s a bit magical here is that in the original drama, Seleu and Night Raid used submachine guns with extremely fast firing rates, but the Imperial Firearms Troops still commonly used muzzle-loading guns and muzzle-loading cannons, and even because they didn’t have lathes, The labor cost is high and it takes a long time without rifling.
Rifling is a spiral pattern carved in the barrel of a gun, which can greatly increase the range of bullets and shells and improve accuracy.
So even if they know that the Red Banner Army's muskets are more advanced through intelligence, it will take a lot of time to research and popularize them, and they are even unwilling to popularize them, because new gadgets often represent the redistribution of interests.
If the Manchu Qing Dynasty hadn't been violently beaten by the big powers, the firearm technology could continue to be maintained at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the people at the bottom could still be fooled by relying on bows and horses to conquer the world.
With Esdeth's talent for war, even if he has never experienced trench warfare, he can tell at a glance that this thing is a meat grinder, not to mention that after rushing through barbed wire and trenches, he has to face high walls. For one thing, even if the Imperial Army could win, it would be a miserable victory.
But in my heart, a miserable victory is a defeat!
Esdeath's hands were filled with cold air. In the face of absolute strength, all the bells and whistles were empty talk. As long as she took action, she could instantly destroy the front position without any effort.
Seeing this, Roja armed himself with armor and lifted off to confront Esdeth. The killing intent burst forth unreservedly, currents surged around, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
This was the ability that the system checked out after he killed Budd—Su's original magic energy in the Thunder Demon.
The original demonic energy is many times stronger than that of the adventure demon dragon absorbing the demonic energy left on the undead token. If it weren't for the balance ability of the tiger charm, Roja would be able to transform into Zhongsu on the spot after receiving the reward.
"Ordinary people's wars are resolved by ordinary people. If you dare to fight, you will die."
Roja said indifferently.
"Hehe, do you think you guys can win if I don't do it myself?"
Estes restrained his chill.
In war, sacrifices are always indispensable, but she and Roja really got into a fight, and more than [-]% of the people in Linhai City and the Imperial Army had to die.
Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, imperial envoys versus imperial envoys.
1000 years ago, the first emperor of the empire gathered the power of the world, using super dangerous species as the main material, and spent a lot of time and money to forge 48 pieces of Teigu. He hoped that with these Teigu, he would be able to live forever, but he did not know that it was because of the bug-level Teigu. The existence of it greatly increases the uncertainty of war.
Chapter 138 The Great Defeat of the Imperial Army
Facing Esdeath's doubts, Roja showed a confident smile and threw a thunderbolt into the air.
"fire!"
Brand on the top of the wall received the signal and ordered the flag soldiers to play the flag language.
The clairvoyant on the high slope decisively ordered the artillery position to fire according to the signal.
Bang bang bang!
Hundreds of shells hit the imperial front row cavalry accurately.
"Ah! My legs, my legs!"
"Call..."
The war horse screamed, blood was everywhere, and the broken limbs and arms were blown everywhere.
This is one of the advantages of defending the city. The artillery can set the parameters in advance, that is, the aiming parameters, which greatly improves the shooting accuracy.
"Damn it, where's our artillery? Hurry up and fight back."
The cavalry general roared.
"No, the distance is not enough, their cannons hit farther than ours!"
The gunner said helplessly.
For smoothbore guns, the shells fly three miles away, and whether they can hit depends on faith.
The opponent's artillery position is at least five miles away.
"Soldiers on the front line, follow me!"
The cavalry general drew his saber and galloped his horse.
In less than a few miles, the cavalry charged at full strength, and it only took a few minutes to completely mix with the enemy's ground troops, allowing their artillery units to throw rats.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The mines laid by the Red Banner Army in advance began to show their power, causing the imperial cavalry to flip over.
After finally rushing through the artillery cover and minefield at the cost of losing Jin Wanqi, they still have to face another big meal prepared by the Red Banner Army for them.
"Machine gun ready!"
Following Brand's shout, the soldiers lifted the black cloth one after another, revealing the big guy inside - the Maxim heavy machine gun!
On Earth in July 1916, the battle that made the Maxim machine gun famous was World War I. Facing the menacing 7 British divisions, the Germans used an average firepower density of one heavy machine gun every 14 meters to defeat these 100 divisions. The division fired wildly, and more than 14 British soldiers were killed in just one day.
This battle completely swept the line tactics of queuing and shooting into the historical garbage dump, and the Maxim machine gun was also awarded the title of "Widow Maker". Even netizens in later generations joked:
Gatlin rescued the dying and healed the wounded, and rejuvenated Ma Keqin.
Although Roja was not as crazy as Germany, he had prepared more than 1 heavy machine guns for the frontline troops, but he also had a fraction of [-], which was enough for the remaining [-] cavalry to experience what it means to be adults. After all, Marco is bigger than a human being, and he is a big living target.
"Fire!"
Brand gave the order decisively when the imperial cavalry was about a mile away from the position.
da da da da da...
Thousands of machine guns spit out flames at the same time, firing crosswise, forming a series of metal barrages.
"Wow!"
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry fell, their flesh flying everywhere.
If the machine gun just swept the line tactics into the dustbin of history, then for the cavalry, it was a complete setback.
Since machine guns became popular on the battlefield, the nomads who are good at cavalry have become good at singing and dancing.
"Devils! They are devils!"
The mentality of the imperial cavalry has collapsed. It is a miracle that they can persist until now. How many of them will be left when they are really killed in front of the Red Banner Army?The rest of the people have to face the torture of repelling horses, barbed wire, and trenches. Who can stand it.
The frontline cavalry fled in a big rout!
Even the infantry who were harassed by artillery fire behind them also began to flee, and the troops were defeated.
Didi! Didi!
The red flag army's charge horn sounded.
"Come on!"
All the soldiers in the trenches rushed out, and [-] cavalry suddenly came out from behind the imperial army. They were the Red Banner Cavalry Regiment built by Roja. After firing the bullets, he took out his revolver and began to roll call at close range.
"Put down your weapons, those who kneel and surrender will not be killed!"
The soldiers of the Red Banner Army shouted in unison.
Seeing that they were about to be pinched from front to back, the imperial army put down their weapons and surrendered one after another, especially the infantry, which was a snap.
No way, people have horses, there are horses, how can two legs run faster than four legs?
At the same time, the Imperial Navy on the sea also suffered an unprecedented blow.
"Come on, let me chase you! People are in the boat, but the boat is destroyed! If you hit me, it will sink it!"
The navy marshal yelled angrily with red eyes, like a gambler who bet on his head.
"My lord, the enemy ship is too fast for us to catch up."
The adjutant smiled helplessly.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Such a big ship is still made of iron, it is impossible..."
The navy commander sat back in his chair dejectedly, looking desperately at the huge battleship that had been fishing for them.
Just a few hours ago, they were still full of ambitions. Compared with the exhausted imperial army on land, their navy was still invincible in the world from the beginning of the first emperor to the present. Isn't Linhai City easy to capture?
Because it was by sea, and the ship was big, easy to transport, and heavy load, the artillery caliber equipped by the imperial navy was quite exaggerated, and the range was nearly ten miles. As long as the dock of Linhai City was captured, Linhai City could be threatened.
It can be said that the mission of the Navy is extremely simple, but it is such a simple mission. After the appearance of the Red Banner Army ship, everything changed.
A strange giant ship with no sails and a large chimney above its head that continuously emits black smoke appears. The most important thing is that its hull is made of iron, iron.
The ship made of iron would not sink to the bottom, which stunned the officers and men of the Imperial Navy, until the huge turret on the strange giant ship slowly turned its head, and after a distance of more than ten miles, a single shot sank a warship, Only then did they realize that it was the Red Banner Army, the enemy!
Then the next thing is to hang and beat inhumanely.
This weird giant ship can sail against the wind, and the speed is still very fast. The imperial navy relying on sails can't catch up at all. It was kited, and their shells can't reach it. Earn every shot.
Unable to catch up, unable to run, the imperial navy fleet was pulled down by the limit of the enemy's advance and retreat, and the enemy's retreat and advance, and was sunk one by one, and finally collapsed across the board.
Every time the Red Banner Army cannons fired, the Imperial Navy officers and soldiers had to pray that they would not hit them, or that they would not hit the ships they were on.
Boom!
A shell directly hit the Admiral's command room, and the Imperial Navy was defeated.
"Master Fashion, the Imperial Navy has been wiped out."
Shunfenger and Clairvoyance reported the battle situation.
Fashion laughed loudly: "This is art. The dragon boat is equipped with iron armor, which not only plays a protective role, but also deters the enemy. If it is driven by a steam engine, the navy that has been invincible for thousands of years should also withdraw from the stage of history."
Chapter 139 Red Banner Cadres vs. Hunters
"It now looks like the imperial army you led has been defeated."
Roja looked at Estes and smiled.
This smile is really confident.
