Chapter 1433: Arabian Storm (Section 104)

In the face of the attack of the whole army of the Kopoyali people, the imperial army led by Zhang Xiao naturally increased the pressure a lot.

After all, although the Kopyali army had suffered more than seventy percent of the casualties, there were still more than 30,000 troops left to fight.

Fortunately, the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao are all veterans who have experienced the test of war in Europe. They have a lot of combat experience, so they don't panic even in the face of the Kopyali attack.

Steady!

Reload your ammo!

The Imperial Army phalanx was like a hedgehog, ready to face the Kopoarian army that was attacking like a tide, and all of them had very calm expressions on their faces.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army were completely different from the armies of other countries.

You know, in a war like this, even the most elite and iron-blooded army will feel nervous when facing the onslaught of the enemy.

Because this is human nature, and it is also a very normal physiological phenomenon and reaction.

But, like these, you can't see them on the faces of the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

This has to be amazing.

However, it is not surprising to think about the 'wonderful' and confidence of the Imperial Army.

Yes, the weapons used by the soldiers of the Imperial Army have surpassed the weapons of other countries of the same era by a century. has an incomparable advantage, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army are definitely not rookie Kobe Bryant, who have been tested by war.

What's more, most of the soldiers in the Imperial Army are not genetic people with independent command thinking. It's some genetic people who can only follow orders and do things, and their brains are a little wooden.

Because they don't have independent thinking and thinking patterns, they can only be a big soldier in the army, or in a city in the Americas, to manage law and order and maintain order.

However, there is an advantage to this type of genetic person. That is, they can strictly implement the order, no matter how strange and unreliable the order is, they will desperately carry it out.

At the same time, this kind of genetic person also has an advantage, that is, he is not afraid of death when fighting, as if he doesn't know what pain is.

Think about what it would be like to fight an army of mostly necromantic soldiers.

Needless to say, it is certain that anyone who fights against such an army will become a tragedy.

If you want to say that you are not afraid of death, the Imperial Army is definitely unique.

Because of the ability to strictly follow the training and orders, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army can be maintained very high.

Those who have not yet developed the genes for independent thinking and thinking patterns can be very fast and mechanically like they were trained. Quickly reload ammunition and shoot.

And because they are such genetic people, not to mention that only 30,000 enemies are attacking, even if they have multiplied tenfold on this basis, they will still have no fear.

For example, the Imperial Army is estimated to be unique in this era.

Only Zhao Hongyu, who came to this era with a plug-in, can have such a wonderful army with a plug-in.

The Kopyali people who are now 'bravely' charging do not know about this qiē, and even if they knew it, it was impossible to change anything in the current situation.

Rush!

Come on!

Kill me!

Rank-and-file officers of the Kopoyali people. They led the small teams under their control to rush over, and they kept shouting loudly to cheer up their soldiers.

Unfortunately, they never know that sometimes in a war the enemy has a much technological advantage over you. Approaches like this don't do anything at all.

You don't see that in the future, about a century or two centuries later, in another time and space, in the Boer War waged by the army of the 'Pirate Island', those Boer warriors who had a very obvious numerical advantage and were very brave. The same did not defeat the 'pirate' army, which consisted of only a few hundred men.

On the contrary, the Boers, who had tens of thousands of troops, were defeated by the 'pirate' army.

This is a very obvious example of actual warfare.

And the weapons used by the 'pirate' army at that time. Basically, there is no difference in technology from the weapons used by the soldiers of the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao today.

Moreover, Zhang Xiao's strength was several times more than the number of pirate legions of the 'pirates' in the Boer War.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao and the officers of the Imperial Army certainly had the confidence and confidence to resist the attack of the Kopoyali people.

After all, there is a surprise of the times, and this is a very huge chasm, which is not something that you can cross if you want to.

Moreover, the obvious advantages of hot weapons over cold weapons do not need to be told one by one.

Two hundred yards!

Shoot!

Bang! Phew!

The pungent smoke of gunpowder rose up, creating a white smoke screen in front of the Imperial Army phalanx.

With the sound of gunfire, the Kopyali people holding scimitars in the winning face were put down like straws, and almost no one was spared.

The phalanx of 4,000 Imperial Army troops had almost 300 soldiers on each side.

That is, for every salvo fired by the Imperial Army, the Kopyali in the charge had to face more than three hundred shots of buckshot.

And that's not all!

The Imperial Army's tactics are five-stage shooting, and basically in a minute's time, five-stage shooting can achieve a speed of about one and a half rounds.

At such a speed, the Kopyali had to face seven volleys.

It was only at a distance of two hundred yards, and they didn't move forward, and they all had to face heavy casualties.

And in the era of cold weapons, there is a very wonderful rule.

That is, when the charge is launched, once the attack is frustrated, the vanguard of the charge will pause or retreat slightly.

There is no way to change this.

After all, armies are made up of people, and in the face of such heavy casualties. And watching the comrades-in-arms around him fall down and wail in pain, basically no one can be indifferent.

This can have a big impact on a person.

Under the seven salvos of the Imperial Army, although it was impossible to kill all of them, it could achieve a mortality rate of more than 30%, and the rest were minor and serious injuries.

In this era, wounded by the lead bullet of a musket. It's basically the same as dying.

In addition, the wounds caused by lead bullets hitting the human body are also very terrible.

You see, after Europe in another time and space used muskets to fight, a large number of unlucky people who were hit and wounded by lead bullets died of inflammation.

Even those who survive are missing arms and legs.

One hundred and ninety yards!

One hundred and eighty-five yards!

At least six or seven hundred people had fallen in the short distance of five yards.

The Kopoali soldiers, who were at the front of the charge, had lost the courage to continue moving forward at this time, and many of them began to turn around and run to the rear.

But these guys who are running back. It didn't end very well.

They often didn't run a few steps before they were knocked to the ground by another shot from the opposing Imperial Army, or hacked to death by their own officers.

"Don't quit! Rush to me, rush forward! “

An overseer hacked a soldier to death as he ran back, then looked around with a hideous expression, shocking the terrified and uneasy soldiers.

Under the gaze of this overseer, the soldiers had no choice but to continue to rush forward obediently.

For the Kopoyali, they really have no other way but to rush forward at this point.

The Bukuts attacked on the other side, and on this side they also faced the Imperial Army.

So. They will only be able to turn the tide of battle if they defeat the enemy on one side first.

In the eyes of the Kopyali people, the Imperial Army, which is inferior in strength, is obviously a good bully.

After all, although the Bukuts suffered heavy losses. But there are still more than 10,000 fighters available. Therefore, it is safest to choose the side of the Imperial Army with a smaller proportion to fight.

Of course, this consideration is not wrong, but the commander of the Koparian never expected that the fighting style and weapons of the Imperial Army would still show combat effectiveness. It wasn't something he could have imagined.

It was something he hadn't expected, and he couldn't have imagined it with his knowledge.

Because he has to think. It was in the early 17th century, in the middle of that era.

Therefore, the attack of the Kopoyali people is still according to the pattern of this era. Even when facing the Imperial Army's musket phalanx, they used a dense crowd charge in an attempt to break the Imperial Army's phalanx in this way.

It's a pity that the plan of the commander of the Kopyali people was completely frustrated after facing the Imperial Army phalanx.

Because although the Imperial Army Phalanx was not created by Zhao Hongyu, its effect is a formation that has passed the test of the times.

In another time and space, this formation was popular in Europe for a century, and in the hands of Napoleon, it took on even more brilliance.

This kind of phalanx is not only able to resist the infantry, but especially the cavalry shock, and can give great damage.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu created the Imperial Army, he adopted such a phalanx when considering the performance of the weapons it possessed.

After all, in this era, although they all fight with cold weapons.

However, for the cavalry, a 'tank' in the era of cold weapons, Zhao Hongyu felt that it was still necessary to take precautions.

Therefore, this kind of phalanx, which was popular in another time and space, more than a century later, appeared in this time and space, and became a kind of battle formation of the Imperial Army.

Moreover, this battle formation did help the Imperial Army to defend against a strong enemy, and at the same time, it also helped the Imperial Army's troops achieve great results and a series of victories.

How could the Kopyali not be tragic in such a situation...... (To be continued......)
