Chapter 378: Making Rules (92/104)
The soldiers of the three rows of Longxiang Army shot methodically, and when the bullets were fired, they immediately retreated, and the soldiers in the rear immediately took over and fired a second round of bullets.
In this way, the bullets attacked the coalition soldiers in waves of two seconds, and when the coalition soldiers who rushed in front were killed, there would be a temporary pause in the shooting, and after a few moments a new enemy rushed up, and a new round of strikes began again.
The Wittelsbach family and the Holy See commanders did not know what was happening, they just kept giving orders to charge, and in their opinion, it should be easy to defeat the enemy with such a disparity in forces.
As for the fierce gunfire and artillery fire in front of them, they selectively ignored them.
Finally, half an hour later, the war was over.
For the Holy Roman Empire, this was definitely an unprecedented large-scale battle, and it went just too quickly.
If it is according to the battles of the past, the close distance between people and real guns will often go on for a long time, once the number of participants exceeds 10,000, if no one surrenders, such a battle will not be able to end in half a day.
But now, with guns and ammunition, the efficiency of killing people has been infinitely improved.
So, in just half an hour, the valley was littered with corpses, and the brave coalition soldiers fell to the ground in a staggered manner, and the blood under them gathered together to form a small stream that flowed slowly along the valley.
The ground was littered with black-brown craters, which had been blown out by powerful bombs, each with a radius of two meters, and within a radius of ten meters there were soldiers killed and wounded by shrapnel.
It wasn't a battle at all, it was just a massacre.
The soldiers of the coalition army did not touch the defense line of the Longxiang army from beginning to end, and their soldiers were the closest to the defense line, and they only rushed to about 100 meters.
Under the dense rain of bullets and artillery fire, nearly 100,000 coalition soldiers were all wiped out here, and they did not even cause any effective casualties.
Countless corpses lay on the ground, and from time to time one of the wounded would let out a wail or two, and the commanders of the Wittelsbach family and the Holy See watched this scene in a daze, unable to believe their eyes.
They only felt that the worldview in their hearts had collapsed, how could there be such a thing in the world, attacking 10,000 people with 100,000 people, the other party actually did not lose anything, and their own army was completely annihilated.
At this moment, in their hearts, the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army are simply no different from the devil, where in the world can there be such a powerful army, such an army can only belong to hell!
This was the truest thought in the hearts of the two commanders, they were so shocked that they even forgot to flee, and when the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army approached, they were still on their knees in a daze, not knowing how to react.
Not only on the other side, even Simon, the commander of the Long Xiang Army, who had already prepared in his heart, was surprised to face such a scene.
He suddenly realized that the city of Lebor now actually had the power to change the world, and with the support of this terrifying force, they were enough to do anything they wanted.
The war came and went as fast as it came, and after three days, the results of this war spread throughout the empire.
Combined with Allen's previous performance in the Imperial Arena, this time, the Imperial nobles finally have an objective understanding of the power of the new weapon.
The moment everyone got the news, they were surprised to grow their mouths, and they couldn't close it for a long time, unable to convince themselves to believe it.
Originally, in their opinion, Eugen was just a little person who was lucky enough to cling to his thighs by chance.
But now, Eugen has been transformed into a terrible monster, even a devil, and his city of Lebor has become the devil's war machine.
This war machine is terrifyingly powerful, and the world will be shaken by the fact that he shows his fangs.
Eugen has become synonymous with terror in the hearts of all nobles at this moment.
At this moment, even Charles VI was shocked, he not only re-evaluated the energy possessed by Eugen, but also began to change some of his views on Eugen in his heart.
The war was won, and everyone was watching to see where the city of Lyber would go next, and at this point, Eugen had every reason to invade Bavaria, sweep away the Wittelsbach family, and then occupy all their lands.
At the same time, he can also enter the Holy See, plunder the wealth that the Holy See has looted for thousands of years, imprison the Pope and the cardinals, and even force them to abdicate.
Eugen had every reason to do so, and no one could blame anything, but this time, Eugen showed complete generosity.
He did not embarrass the Wittelsbach family, but only asked the Duke of Lorraine to recognize the regularity of the central bank of the city of Leiber, and allowed the commercial trade of the city of Leiber to develop freely in Bavaria.
The Duke of Lorraine was naturally overjoyed by this, and hurriedly agreed to Eugen's request, and signed a long-term peace agreement with Eugen.
After this fiasco, their family's existing strength has also plummeted, not even comparable to an ordinary marquis, in this case, without a few years of respite, it is impossible to recover.
As for the Holy See, Eugen's measures are more severe, and some of the actions of the Holy See have violated Eugen's bottom line, so he directly proposed to abdicate the current pope of the Holy See, and according to the original plan, Cardinal Modesalle will succeed to the position of pope.
At the same time, he demanded that Father Martin Luther be admitted to the Holy See as a cardinal and that he fully pursue his ideas of the Reformation.
As for the branch of the Holy See related to Count Mead, everyone was also forcibly kicked out of the church by Eugen, and at the same time, they were deprived of their status as nobles, deprived of all their property, and could only live as commoners for generations to come.
Without the protection of force, the huge Holy See is like a weak cotton ball, to be kneaded by Eugen.
These demands were also hampered by some obstacles within the Holy See, but they were quickly subdued and finally implemented step by step.
Due to Eugen's high reputation among the people, the middle and lower clerical priests in the Holy See were more friendly to Eugen, and there were even calls from the people for Eugen to succeed him as pope.
After the abdication of the pope, this call became even stronger, and it is no exaggeration to say that Eugen could become pope at any time if he wanted to, and become one of the most powerful people in the entire Holy Roman Empire.
Joining him was Emperor Charles VI.
