Chapter 820: Assault of the whole army
"Your Highness, the enemy has already begun to advance."
When the Kyushu Allied Front began to move slowly, Zhao Hongyu put down the telescope in his hand.
And Hattori Chizuru, who was beside him, spoke at this time.
The corners of Zhao Hongyu's mouth curled, revealing an indifferent smile.
"It's okay, I'm going to give them a taste."
Zhao Hongyu saw in the telescope that the Kyushu coalition army first sent the archers out, preparing to give themselves a long-range strike.
Behind the archers, they were followed by spearmen.
As for the scarce cavalry in Kyushu, as well as the elite samurai of the various daimyos, they were still in the rear of the military formation and did not move.
But even so, now the number of enemies Zhao Hongyu and they have to face has reached as many as 130,000.
Hehe, in order to eliminate themselves in a short period of time, it seems that the people of Kyushu have sent almost all the troops at once. They seem to be planning to launch a charge and crush themselves.
The idea is good, but I can't let them get their wish.
Zhao Hongyu saw through the other party's plan at a glance, so he sneered in his heart.
The way the Kyushu coalition forces fought was still decent.
First of all, they sent the archers out, preparing to inflict great damage on Zhao Hongyu and them before the army charged.
By the time the spearmen in the rear began to charge, the archers were still able to fire four or five rounds of arrows.
According to this way of attacking, Zhao Hongyu and they are really unable to resist.
Of course, the premise is that Zhao Hongyu's side is also a cold weapon team.
But the problem is that the team commanded by Zhao Hongyu is basically a genetic person cultivated from the virtual world, and the weapons used by these genetic people are muskets.
The range of bows and arrows in this era was about 100 to 150 paces, which is about 50 to 75 meters, and if they exceeded this distance, the damage level would be greatly reduced.
Of course. If you throw it, the distance may be even farther.
On the Kyushu coalition side, there are about 12,000 archers, so they will definitely use silkworm chrysalis projectile means to deal with themselves.
Once the opponent enters the attack range, then it can really cause a lot of trouble to your own side.
After all, on Zhao Hongyu's side, except for the imperial army of Yuji Riverside who had riot shields, the party soldiers who lined up to shoot had no tools to resist arrows except for flintlock pistols and machetes.
However, Zhao Hongyu is not worried about this at all.
Because he has artillery on his side.
Compared to a hundred steps or even a hundred and fifty steps. Or for throwing a bow and arrow that can reach 250 paces, the range of the cannon is longer, and it is more powerful and lethal.
The artillery under Zhao Hongyu's command was all unloaded from the battleship.
This shipborne artillery has a normal firing range of six nautical miles and is very accurate.
Although it is now used as army artillery and has a gun mount, it may not be able to hit as far, but it is still possible to attack the enemy at a distance of six or seven hundred meters.
Thus, within the range of the enemy's archers. When they can inflict damage on their own side, they must first be baptized by their own artillery.
"Gunners prepare!"
After observing the distance, Zhao Hongyu found that the Kyushu Coalition Army on the opposite side was still about 1,200 meters away from his side.
So. He didn't panic at all, and let his herald convey his orders to the artillerymen behind him.
After receiving Zhao Hongyu's order, the artillerymen in the rear began to reload gunpowder. Then stuff the flowering bombs.
"Put!"
Rumble! Rumble! Boom!
When everything was ready, with an order, the cannons began to shell one after another.
Yes, Zhao Hongyu's gunners. Not all in one salvo. Rather, when the previous gun is fired, the next gun continues to fire.
This effect is to allow the shells to fall on the enemy's head without giving them a little respite.
Now Zhao Hongyu's team has more than 200 artillery pieces.
Therefore, from the time the first gun is fired, until the last gun is fired, the first gun will be reloaded with gunpowder and shells.
It can be said that there is no time at all.
"Adjust the artillery parameters, target a kilometer distance! Reload! ”
Boom Boom!
After Zhao Hongyu opened fire on his side, the advancing archers of the Kyushu Coalition Army were suddenly blown up.
With the explosion of cannonballs and the splashing of flowering shells, all kinds of blood mist and stumps and broken arms were constantly thrown into the air, or suddenly turned into minced meat.
The human body, in front of steel, seems so fragile.
For a time, the Kyushu coalition forces were stunned.
Fujita, a sophomore in the rear, also grew up with a shocked look on their faces.
"What kind of weapon is this used by the enemy? Could it be the kind of artillery on the Southern Barbarian battleships? ”
After the shock, Fujita Takaji shouted sharply.
Yes, artillery is not at all new to the Japanese people.
After all, there are also a lot of Nanban people here in Kyushu, that is, those merchants from Europe.
These European merchants had such artillery on their warships.
Moreover, some Japanese maritime merchants would also encounter Europeans and some pirates fighting at sea, so they knew how powerful this kind of artillery was.
It's just that this kind of artillery is generally used on battleships, and no one has used it on land.
Therefore, everyone could not imagine that this kind of artillery could still be used in land warfare.
I have to say that the Japanese are still weaker in terms of knowledge.
In fact, the Europeans of this era have already begun to use artillery in land warfare.
Moreover, not only Europeans, but also the Ming Dynasty army in the East also had examples of the use of artillery, and it was also a small artillery.
It's just a pity that the Ming Dynasty's skills in manufacturing small artillery are not up to par, so this kind of small-caliber artillery loaded on a small trolley often explodes due to the problem of poor craftsmanship.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty terminated the research of this small-caliber artillery.
Then, the construction of large-caliber redcoat cannons slowly began.
Moreover, due to the lack of awareness of the people, artillery was at most often used as a defensive weapon that could only be placed on the city walls. And did not develop so that artillery became a weapon of land warfare.
Speaking of which, in addition to people's thoughts and consciousness are not in place, it also has a lot to do with the quality of iron and craft water.
After all, no one can be like Zhao Hongyu, who can buy modern techniques and the antique artillery just created from the virtual world world so against the sky.
Although the materials of this artillery are scrap iron and scrap steel, after all, modern water products are here, so how can they be built better than those of the 17th century.
"Command! All charge! ”
Fujita High School immediately noticed that he was a little passive now.
If you follow this style of play, you may not know how many people you will die on the way forward.
Now, the Kyushu coalition army is still a kilometer away from Zhao Hongyu's position.
This side. The second round of artillery firing has already begun.
As the second round of shelling began, the Kyushu coalition forces began to charge, and their movements became noticeably faster.
However, they are now a thousand meters away from Zhao Hongyu, after all.
Therefore, it is inevitable that they will continue to endure artillery attacks.
When the shells of the second round of shelling fell, the Kyushu coalition charging queue, which was attacking in a dense formation, was mercilessly hit.
Almost every time a flowering bullet falls, it takes away more than a hundred living lives. The brutality is beyond imagination.
When the shells explode, a blank space appears.
The soldiers in the killing range were either left with no bones left or fell to the ground.
The first round of shelling was followed by the second round. The team of 12,000 archers was completely crippled.
A large part of the archers began to turn around and run back.
In their opinion, keep rushing forward. That's no different from looking for death.
Such guys were basically killed by the generals who rushed up from behind and led the spearmen.
The battlefield turned around, and there was no order to retreat. According to the military orders of the Japanese people, they could be killed on the spot.
There are also some archers, although they have not yet entered the attack range, but they have begun to shoot arrows with bows.
They didn't care whether their arrows could be shot at the other side or not, they were just thinking about sending their weapons to the opposite side as much as possible to cause damage to the other side.
It can be said that they are now out of judgment.
There are also people whose expressions are dull and become muddy. Some people smirked, some sat on the ground and cried, and some looked around numbly, and finally read the words.
These are all mentally broken down.
For these people, there is no one to pity them.
On the battlefield, no one has the heart to pay attention to these things.
The charge of more than 100,000 people, this scene is very huge.
No movie scene or picture can express this shock.
"Reload! Put! ”
Rumble! Boom Boom!
The third round of shelling began, and this time the targets of the shelling were the Kyushu infantry in the charge.
It may be because the people of Kyushu do not understand Zhao Hongyu's combat methods, and they also do not understand the true power of artillery, and because of the lack of knowledge, the Kyushu army charges in an extremely dense charging queue.
And such a queue allowed Zhao Hongyu's artillery to be brought into full play.
It can be said that every time a cannon falls, more than 100 people are killed and more than 100 people are injured, which is very normal.
Therefore, after a round of 200 shells has passed, at least five or six thousand people will be reimbursed in the charging team, and then thousands of people will be seriously injured.
Therefore, if you can look down on the ground from the sky, you can see that there are many gaps in the Kyushu coalition army column in the charge.
At this time, the Kyushu coalition army was still eight hundred meters away from Zhao Hongyu's position.
"Hehe, after there are more artillery, it really works."
In the face of the enemies who rushed over with great momentum, Zhao Hongyu was still able to smile on his face.
This made Chizuru Hattori, who was beside him, admire.
And Emma and Sara saw that their man was so calm, and they also admired it in their hearts. (To be continued......)
