Rumble! Rumble!

Bang Lala! Bang Lala!

In the south of Querétaro, over the position of the First Army of the Empire, a lot of big black balls appeared, of course, it was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, but however, these big black balls immediately exploded in the air, and the fragmented shrapnel flew down to the position like rain!

"Lie down!"

"Fack!"

The position of the First Army can be said to be very good, and the communication trenches are intricately intertwined. Because of the time, you must know that there are 300 kilometers between Mexico City and Guanajuato, and the specific walking road, it is more than 300 kilometers, so there is quite a lot of time.

But however, at this time, such an artillery bombardment also greatly shocked the position!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

No one was injured at all in the previous shelling, and the artillery of this era could not help the trench tunnels at all, at most some unlucky guys who could not be found by shells, so to speak, if someone was hit by a shell in the trenches, such a person would get a lot of money in the Imperial Army.

Because the soldiers of the empire are betting that who will be the unlucky ones who will be blown up by cannonballs...... In other words, Li Mengyang, the emperor's forbidden gambling ...... I can only say that there is still a long way to go.

But now it's different, there are casualties, and although I don't know the exact situation, Ocassi has seen it in the telescope.

"The French really have some tricks!"

Ocassi saw very clearly that the shells just now were shot into the air, and then exploded in the air, like a goddess scattering flowers. The cannon is also strange. The barrel of the cannon is particularly thick!

Mortar!

This is a type of cannon with a very short barrel. But it's huge, it's coarse, it looks cute, oh, it's a fierce cannon!

Ocassi had learned about this weapon by studying some of the current war literature, and it was quite advanced as far as the mortars on the French ships were concerned.

In fact. In the current year, in the mid-sixties of the nineteenth century, there were not many wars, and the most lively place in the world was the United States, where the civil war was a mess, and then Mexico, and as for other places, it was relatively stable.

However, peace and stability are the mainstream of this era, but people's improvement and research on weapons have not stopped. This mortar is one of them, and it should be said that this thing has been around for a long time. That is, people have long thought about how to hang, that is, hanging......

If you want to be specific, this kind of cannon still wants to drop the cannonball into the trench tunnel, but however, as long as the lead is shortened, then it can produce the effect of the goddess scattering flowers, and this kind of damage is not small, it can be said that human wisdom is very powerful.

In fact, in the current American Civil War, the Northern Confederacy is already using mortars, maybe they also have the help of the French, which is also possible, but however, the mortars used by the Northern Confederacy are almost the same as the Mortars of the French......

Although it can kill the soldiers in the trenches to a certain extent, it is only very few, and it cannot completely solve the trenches, which are the world's defensive problems on the battlefield now!

"Pass my orders!" Seeing the casualties of his subordinates, this made Ocasi feel a little distressed, it was not that he couldn't accept the casualties, but in the battle with His Majesty the Emperor, the casualties of the imperial army were too small and too small, and the lives of the imperial soldiers were very precious!

"Get the artillery ready! Don't care about ammunition! I'm going to give the French a taste of our awesomeness! ”

“YES-SIR！”

Okashi finished the order, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, because the whole principle of the mortar seems to be similar to the mortar invented by His Majesty the Emperor, everyone is playing hanging shooting, so who is more powerful?

Ocassi has great faith in the Great Emperor!

……

"Forward!"

Magnan, the old French marshal, rode on his war horse, from the top and bottom of the dress to the front of the formation, coughing constantly along the way, but when he drew his command knife and shouted loudly, the whole person was still so heroic!

Boom ...... Boom ......

Or the Marseillaise, I have to say that this piece is very good, really inspiring, and the French army is also accompanied by such music, step by step, neatly towards the position of the American Empire in Querétaro, launched a charge, of course, if this can be called a charge.

In the "Comrades ......" position, many imperial soldiers who had just been baptized by the scattered flowers in the sky raised their heads.

It's really scary, those shells before can actually explode above their heads, but it's not ...... It seems that some unlucky people are going to make a small fortune, but after all, it is a lucky few.

"Get closer!"

In fact, needless to say, everyone understands it all in their hearts.

I saw that at this time, the ranks of the French army could be said to be vast, a white-haired old general riding a horse, and the war knife was constantly waving on his head, which was really heroic. And what's even more powerful are these French troops, they really ......

Many, many people!

Querétaro is a plain, so it is natural to be able to spread out a large army, which is why it is said that there is no danger to defend here, according to the general battlefield theory, it is true, but in terms of the combat methods of today's era, and for the soldiers of the First Army, who have fought old battles, it is not necessarily.

"Ready!" "Ready!" "Ready!" ……

The order to prepare to shoot spread far and wide, and the French army wore blue uniforms, white ribbons, triangular hats, and the iconic white leggings, which was simply a beautiful sight, this scenery was so long, there were many people, and there were so many guns!

"Fire!" "Fire!" ……

Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang......

Dense gunshots, you know, this is nearly 10,000 troops, although it is impossible to completely line up, but it is too spectacular!

That's right, the French army can be said to have fought hard, because three of Mexico's top figures have come. Then naturally, the French army will also be dispatched. In total, more than 15,000 French soldiers came to Querétaro. And two thousand soldiers of the Mexican Empire!

This is already the greatest ability of the Mexican French army and the empire, you know, other cities have to stay, and the French army that supported later and the French army in Mexico before added up to more than 30,000 people, that is, now it is really the limit.

And to this limit, Marshal Magnan used 10,000 people at once!

Apparently. Of the 10,000 people, most of them were brought by him from France, otherwise it would be difficult for him to command the movement, but this scene is really crazy.

"God forbid!" Seeing this situation in the telescope, to be honest, Ocassi was really excited, not because of the momentum of his opponent's 10,000 guns, but because now is the time for him to make a contribution!

"Patience. Patience ......"

Ocasi kept repeating the words in a whisper, knowing it was too late to give any orders. Can the comrades on the front line hold on, until the French army's more than 10,000 people are all within range, if they open fire early, then the opponent is likely to run away.

That's right! What Ocasi is thinking now is how to completely annihilate the main force of the French army in the south of Querétaro at once!

This idea is simply crazy, this is 10,000 people, even if it is 10,000 pigs, it will take a long time to catch it.

But this is the case now, or rather, the wars of this era are like this, there was the notorious Pickett charge at Gettysburg in the American Civil War, and now, Magnan is repeating the mistakes of the past!

"Forward!"

That round of shooting didn't seem to have any effect at all, and the old marshal of Magnan was also angry at this time, what else did he care? Come on!

Boom ...... Boom ......

The sound of music came back to me.

"Comrades! HOLD-ON! ”

"Hold back!"

There are too many people in this opponent, even the soldiers of the First Army who have fought an old battle can't help but tremble a little, you know, although the defense line is several layers, but there are more than 1,000 people on the side of the Imperial Army, can they withstand so many French attacks?

But no matter what, you must put people closer, then you can fight!

"......" Ocassi held the binoculars, he couldn't help shaking his hand, let himself calm down a little, the French army's charge was simply too slow, if it was the imperial army, it should have come up a long time ago, but now, it's almost!

"Order the artillery to fire! Don't care about shells anymore! Okasi shouted!

“YES-SIR！” The herald hurried out to work.

Boom ...... Boom ......

The Marseillaise continues, but right now!

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Suddenly, there were a lot of small black dots in the sky, and the parabolas of these black dots were very similar to the mortar shells that the French had just fired, except that they did not explode in the sky.

"This is ......" Magnan looked up at the sky at this time, what he wanted to say was, could it be that the American Empire also had mortars?

You know, the current mortar is a high-tech weapon, and more importantly, the mortar is very large and bulky, how can there be so many shells?

There are at least dozens of small black dots, and the density of this shell is definitely much stronger than the French army before.

Bang! Bang!

In an instant, the little black dot smashed to the ground, and then the howl of the French army was heard!

Ahhh

Oh my God! I'm going back! ……

One after another, this is the voice, and the French soldiers are down, no! Some flew out!

"Fire!"

"Hit!"

Just listen to the gunfire on the positions of the American Empire, and then there is the dazzling fire!

Buzz Buzz...... Tututu, protruding......

What is this sound?

The old marshal Magnan couldn't believe his ears, because the sound of the guns was so dense that it was like a gunshot that broke out of a firelight and could be handed over to a regiment!

The old marshal didn't know that it was the characteristic sound of the Gatling gun of the American Empire, and he wouldn't know it in the future, but he heard a neighing of a horse, and then the old marshal was thrown to the ground by his own mount!

Before closing his eyes, he saw patches of his subordinates, fragmented ...... (To be continued......)
