Chapter 204: Foreign Gun Troops

Strictly speaking, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were the century of artillery, and the wars dominated by Europe proved that whoever was good at using artillery, who could have a sufficient number of sophisticated cannons, would be able to gain an advantage, for example, the French Napoleon, in many cases, was to win more with less, and to defeat the strong with the weak, the most critical factor was that he was good at using artillery, as a professional from the artillery school, he raised the use of artillery to a considerable height, and in the first debut of the Toulon campaign, he used artillery to exert its power, as a result, In one fell swoop, from artillery company commander, a small captain, promoted to division commander,

In quelling a rebellion of the royalists, there were many royal party elements and strong forces, while the republicans were weak, but he wittily used artillery to shoot flat, and the royal party army was bombarded with heavy casualties and was defeated.

In the Battle of Austerlitz, in the face of the combined forces of the Russian and Austrian empires, in addition to various reasons, he used artillery to repel the enemy, and blasted open the ice of the lake where the enemy retreated, as a result, tens of thousands of enemy troops fell into the lake and drowned, that battle, became a classic in the world, the French army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, while the Russian-Austrian army suffered more than 35,000 casualties, before the invention of the infantry's fast-loading rifle and machine gun, the power of the cannon was unparalleled,

After the artillery battle was over, the troops of Huai Jun and Qiu Yuancai no longer competed with artillery, but with infantry weapons, because the officers and soldiers of both sides were high-spirited and there was no difference.

"I'll be your mother, I'll be your mother." Cursing rudely, several Chinese officers and soldiers threw the lit grenades far away into the crowd of the Huai army.

The small canned grenades emitting flames and green smoke made the Huai army see the power and have a sense of prevention.

It's a pity that it's too late, the people who are dodging were hit by a concentrated bombardment, a large number of casualties, and those who went to kick, even with their feet, were blown up without a trace,

Attacking and attacking, the Huai army retreated to the back, and in the middle of the retreat, everyone looked, my mother, there were only these few goods left,

The attack of the infantry became a sad journey for the Huai army,

Cheng Xueqi was anxious, and immediately mobilized the foreign gun team, 600 foreign gun teams, all of which were personally trained by foreigners, and more than 200 foreigners were in the army in person.

"Everyone, please, perhaps, only you can defeat the fierce bandit army, the firepower of the thief army is quite vicious, I would have hoped that your foreign guns will completely defeat the thief army." Cheng Xueqi spoke impassionedly, and promised that as long as he took down the Huaxia army in the encirclement, he would give each foreign spearman twenty taels of silver.

This is the most elite foreign gun team, far from you can join the team with a foreign gun, you need to have superb shooting skills, accurate technology, all of them are special forces, is a special sniper,

It's a pity that they use ordinary rotten foreign guns, or breech-loading waists, if it is a modern rifle, the power will be lost,

"Got it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, we must let the long-haired army suffer a little."

"Hehe, my lord, I hope there will be not only money, but also women."

The most powerful hustle and bustle are those foreign soldiers, one by one, who exude an extremely evil appearance,

"Hehe, rest assured, after this war, all the cities in Henan are ours, and the generals such as Seng Greenqin can't protect Henan, then, our Huai army is coming, haha, everyone, everything that is ours, how can we not move first." Cheng Xueqi inspired, tempted, and incited,

"Okay, okay."

"The chief soldier has to say something."

All the soldiers of the foreign spear team let out a burst of wolf howls,

Of course, Cheng Xueqi would not make this move, he simply asked the soldiers to bring boxes of silver, a total of ten boxes: "This, as long as you can take down the long-haired thieves in the defense circle, these are yours, just drink tea." ”

"Ahh All the officers and soldiers of the foreign gun team were staring at the box, and Cheng Xueqi ordered to open a box, and immediately whitened the silver, blinding many pairs of dog eyes.

"Okay."

The morale of the foreign guns team was greatly boosted, and the whole team immediately set off.

Cheng Xueqi sent the foreign gun team away, and then returned to the house, laughing at those boxes, in fact, in those boxes, only two boxes are silver, and the rest are lumps, where is there so much silver in the battle with the army, but these guys from the foreign gun team have the habit of not scattering eagles when they see rabbits, he knows,

"Hey, hey, play with Lao Tzu, you're tender."

In any case, first instigate these hooligans to take down the Long-haired Army, and then, if you have a three-day holiday, these bastards of foreign spearmen will not care about their promises,

This is a key battle, that is, the commander Cheng Xueqi personally observed the formation, because the time is almost dusk, and there is no longer any time to delay.

It is still cold in the first month, the land is desolate, and the fields abandoned because of the war are depressed, and only a few wheat fields have shown signs of returning to green, but the extremely sparse wheat fields give people no hope of a good harvest.

Many villages, because of the war, have been empty and uninhabited, many villages have been burned to a terrible black gray, and have been dug into potholed fields, which is miserable.

These, it is estimated that Mo Yan and other masters have to think for a long time, to explore the deeper social system and other levels, in the environment of wordless criticism, the foreign spearmen are elated, their team is very untidy, but everyone skillfully removed the gun and began to load ammunition, that level of skill, if the ordinary soldiers see it, I am afraid they will widen their eyes,

Of course, with modern rifles, their reload speed is really speechless.

"Ready, no." A stiff foreign soldier screamed,

"yes, alright." Many chimed in,

"Alright, let's go into battle."

The foreign gun team has been participating in the war for a long time, so the tacit understanding has reached a natural level, and the rows of soldiers, neat and orderly, have reached a certain distance before they are sorted out, the first team is half-kneeling on the ground, one leg, the second team is half-squatting, the third team is standing, the fourth team is also standing, and there are three teams behind, like a long and narrow snake formation, moving forward to the right distance,

At this distance, the bows and crossbows of ordinary Taiping soldiers can't be shot, even if they can be shot, it doesn't matter much, they lose their due strength, which is equivalent to no killing, and generally speaking, the troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have no foreign guns, and some are very few, they are all captured by the Qing army, and the real foreign guns are all purchased by the Qing army from Western devils.

Looking at the Chinese officers and soldiers inside the fence and ravine, the people of the foreign guns team smiled and pointed to their fingers, which meant both insults and mockery: "You are finished, looking for death." ”
