Mount Henry south of the Bull River, on the artillery position of the Imperial Army of America.

"Blue flag! Far away! ”

"Adjust the angle!"

"Adjust the angle!"

On the top of Mount Henry, there was an observer, he came out with a small blue flag, and then, Jiang Yun, who was in the artillery position, made his own flag, and when the flag was seen by the imperial artillery, they all shouted.

This...... Could it be that communication is basically based on shouting?

No, in fact, every artillery commander is shouting his subordinates, and he must shout, because the ears of the artillerymen are now stuffed with a lot of cotton!

The artillery was so loud and ** that there were hearing problems among the artillery fighters.

"Collective one-shot test shot!" The flag came out again, followed by another shout.

"Put!"

"Put!"

With a wave of the flag, 200 cannons erupted in flames almost simultaneously!

Bang! Bang! ……

The tongue of fire and the shells that flew out, these artillerymen couldn't feel it, but at this time, these 200 cannons fired at the same time, this momentum was definitely sonic shock!

withered tom, withered tom...... It was really shocked, and the artillery of the empire was shocked to the ground!

Unprepared, no one has ever tried so many cannons to fire together, although His Majesty the Emperor said before that there must be a considerable distance between the cannons, but how much is this distance, he didn't say...... Li Mengyang doesn't know either.

Jiang Yun served as the commander of the Imperial Artillery Division...... Well, this is the artillery division, it used to be an artillery regiment. But now there are so many cannons. You can't call them a group, can you?

lit. I became a teacher, but ...... This name is very unpleasant, Li Mengyang also thought of another name, that is, the First Artillery Unit...... Anyway, it can't be called a three-artillery unit, and the two-gun cannon, this, the last cannon is too ugly, so Li Mengyang proposed. It's better to simply call the artillery troops.

Don't worry too much about these details for the time being, his name is too bad, and the key to this is that artillery is independent and can be specially developed.

But now Comrade Division Commander, he is also sitting on the ground!

"Fuck! That's amazing! Shocked me! "Jiang Yun is talking very loudly, because he can't hear it now.

"Comrade Division Commander! We ......" beside him pointed to a large number of comrades sitting on the artillery position.

"Oops! Stupid! I've said it before! Open your mouth wide! Open your mouth wide! "Some soldiers were bleeding from the shocked ears, and Jiang Yun was here to guide on the spot.

“YES-SIR！” No matter what you say, the current artillery can't drop the chain.

"Get up! Get up! Get ready to keep launching! ”

"Did you hit?!"

Some artillery commanders pulled their own people, and some asked about the results.

Red flag!

The observer on the hill told his comrades. All hits!

"Oh roar!"

Even though there was blood in the ears, the artillery doors cheered!

Actually, that's right. How can there be such a thing as 'collective test firing', the imperial army has been stationed in Henry Mountain for a few months, so Jiang Yun has already come, he has already calculated the target, and he only needs one test firing to basically know a rough idea, so just now it was to strike with all his might.

But however, after hitting the opponent, the artillerymen also suffered, and they really didn't have this experience, which is called 200 cannons!

These cannons were naturally transported to the front line in the past few months, and the previous Eastern Route Army did not march with so many cannons, so it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has been waiting for these cannons to be in place for a long time.

Therefore, as a glorious imperial artilleryman, as a glorious artillery commander, Jiang Yun decided to face difficulties head-on!

"Comrades! We must fight well! Good**! For the Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! **！ ”

Let's just make this speech, it really boosts morale, but fortunately, Li Mengyang, the emperor, is not there......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

The artillerymen roared, and then began the next round of loading, hanging and pulling the line......

Bang! Bang! Bang......

"Oh, my True Martial Emperor!"

Being in the trenches of the Imperial Army's position on Mount Henry, the old man of the fog wind, at this time with a telescope in one hand and a single palm in the other, Taoist people can probably see that this is a salute to a certain Daojun.

The foggy wind was shocked by the scene in front of him, and the telescope clearly showed the scene of the enemy position on the opposite side, which was really miserable!

The warhead of the shell must not be visible, but the explosion can be seen, the explosion in patches, the black clouds that rise, the dirt that has been blown away...... Oh no, there are a lot of people, not only broken arms and stumps, but many whole people have been thrown into the sky!

This scene of shelling is really shocking, and whoever sees it, the heart will beat with the sound of the cannonball.

"It's like plowing the ground!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"......" is on the left flank of the old road of the foggy wind, and now it is the position of Song Yulong's trio, and they are also looking at the opposite side, but the three of them don't use binoculars, in fact, it's not far.

You don't need a telescope to see it clearly, it's a huge mountainous area, as if the whole thing is going to be turned over by the cannonballs of the Empire, it's really spectacular!

At this time, the firepower of the imperial army was simply too fierce, and Yang Weili kept looking at him without speaking, but his mind was not idle.

"Your Majesty is going to use the power of thunder to destroy the opponent!" Yang Willy was speculating about the emperor's thoughts, and the scene in front of him actually represented a way of playing.

Our war in China, if nothing else, look at "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is really called a full of intrigues, fighting a war is one thing, but resourcefulness is the key on the battlefield, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a novel, not a historical work, but this novel represents our Chinese understanding of war.

It's war, you have to understand the brain, you have to scheming, Sun Tzu has the art of war. Win with the right combination. That's what Qi refers to. In fact, this represents a war mentality, which also represents a war model!

This is the mode of war for our Chinese, fighting for strength but also for resourcefulness, and often resourcefulness is more important.

But now, in the current situation, it is completely different.

The situation on the battlefield at this time, this is the mode of war of Westerners!

Young Willie was educated in England, and his military knowledge also came from the United Kingdom. Therefore, he knows the military theory of the West, that is, to fight the front.

Based on strength, with strength as the key, everyone is cutting each other, just to see who is powerful, at most they will play a crescent formation, that is, Hannibal's kind of means, that's all.

Then that is, His Majesty the Emperor of the American Empire at this time, he is using the Western model of war. to conquer a Western country!

This was not the case in previous wars. Of course. This is Willy Yang's personal opinion, and some individuals don't care about this at all.

"Your Majesty! When are we going to attack? "Okashi was with Li Mengyang, and they were on the right flank.

Normally, it seems that the Supreme Commander should be in charge of the Chinese army, but the current situation is a bit special, Okashi's previous lead is the vanguard force, and the 5,000 casualties in the Vicksburg vanguard force are the heaviest, nearly half of the casualties, so at this time, it is a bit too much to use Okashi's vanguard army to sit in the loyal army.

It's still wartime, and the subordinates of each other don't change for the time being, because if it changes, it is easy to have problems, so let's do this for the time being, and then smooth out this relationship later, so Okasi's unit is on the right flank first, and a little later.

Of course, there are many complaints among the fighters, everyone wants to charge into battle, and they all feel that attrition is not a problem...... So, Li Mengyang still followed everyone to calm the emotions of the soldiers.

But now, Okashi is still anxious, so how can Li Mengyang not know?

"Today, January 28, 1869, we will strike the first blow at enemy positions on the outskirts of Washington, D.C.! An hour, an hour after the shelling, it's time to charge! Li Mengyang smiled and gave the answer.

“YES-YOUR-MAJESTY！” Ocassi saluted, but at this moment, the position of the United States on the opposite side changed.

"Oh my God!"

"Don't open fire."

"We, we ......"

Quite a few United States soldiers rushed out of the trenches, and they ran towards the Imperial position!

Obviously, the gang was bombed and couldn't hold on, and they wanted to surrender, but ......

Bang bang bang......

There are people on the side of the United States who are enforcing battlefield discipline.

Although the scene was spectacular at this time, it was important to know that the position of the United States Army was very large, and in fact, Grant's fortifications covered the 25-mile area between Bull River and Washington, so the position was actually very spectacular.

It is impossible for the 200 guns of the Imperial Army to completely cover the opponent's position, so there is such a situation, but can this battlefield discipline work?

"No matter! Run! ”

"I heard that the empire treats prisoners preferentially!"

"Brothers! If you stay here, you can only die! ”

More people are running!

"Tell the artillery unit, extend the fire, hit the back!"

“YES-YOUR-MAJESTY！”

Li Mengyang gave the order, he saw the change, and took advantage of it.

"Tell the troops in front of you not to kill these prisoners, just let them lay down their arms!"

“YES……”

After the order was given, I saw that many United States soldiers rushed across the Bull River, throwing away their weapons, some even professional, carrying white flags, and many of them died at the guns of their own men......

This is an unexpected circumstance, and it is beneficial to the Empire.

"Order the artillery units to extend their firepower to the maximum extent possible and prepare the infantry for the charge!" Li Mengyang made such an order after shelling for half an hour.

“YES-YOUR-MAJESTY！”

Obviously, the charge of the empire is coming forward!

The generals, the warriors, after receiving this order, were eager to try until ......

Didi...... The Charge Horn is sounding! (To be continued......)
