Chapter 1057: San Francisco (5)
ps: It's a bad day, I'm cold, it's so uncomfortable! Don't dare to break the change, 10,000 words are still insisting, this is the sorrow of the code farmers
Under the leadership of Wang Shan, the imperial army entered the battlefield in a mighty way.
The vultures in the sky are still circling, waiting for the humans below to fight, and when they are done, they will come down for a delicious and hearty lunch.
At this time, the plains were already covered with snow, and the entire world was dotted with snow and turned silver.
Woo!
A horn made of conch sounded, and the Imperial Army stopped its advance.
The squad leaders began to give constant orders, telling the soldiers to reload their ammunition and check their muskets.
The vassal Indian warriors on both wings, also under the loud shouts of the chiefs and chiefs, began to brace themselves to check their equipment and cheer themselves up.
The Indian priests accompanying the army, waving their 'magic staffs', began to chant in their mouths, as if the mages in the online game blessed the warriors with a special attribute.
Of course, this is not an online game, and it is impossible for the Indian priests to really bless the warriors with any attributes. However, as the warriors listened to the mantra of the sacrifice, it seemed that their expressions gradually hardened.
At least these sacrifices were useful in boosting their desire to fight, and their courage in the face of their enemies.
After sitting on the war horse and observing the situation on the battlefield and the situation of his own troops, Wang Shan thought to himself.
For the Indian troops on both flanks, Wang Shan did not hold out much hope.
Their courage is commendable. But their tactics and playing style made Wang Shan very complaining.
Rushing up in a chaotic manner, there is no queue at all, such an army is simply a rabble.
The elite army of the empire can fight against these Indians, and 10,000 people can fight several times the enemy.
Therefore, the protagonist of this battle still depends on the Imperial Army.
As long as the Imperial Army was able to suppress the enemy on the opposite side and crush them, then the Indian forces on both flanks would be useful.
They have good legs and feet, and they are still useful in chasing down enemies.
At least, in Wang Shan's heart. These Indian troops were able to do it. That's all there is to it.
The Imperial Army was placed in the center of the formation, and the soldiers lined up in a neat line, one by one straightening their backs. At a glance, people can find that their spirit is different from ordinary people.
in their faces. You can see self-confidence. and pride from the heart.
Although the enemy on the opposite side has exceeded 100,000 people. But in the eyes of these Imperial soldiers, they were nothing more than a bunch of dirty chickens and dogs.
The Indian vassal troops on both flanks were crowded together in a chaotic manner. There were no queues or formations on their side, as if they were two large gangsters.
Wang Shan retracted his gaze, he was too lazy to look at the Indian vassal troops on both wings.
Every time he saw their team huddled together, Wang Shan felt a little sick to his stomach.
"Gunners prepare, flowering shells are loaded!"
In the rear of the ranks of the Imperial Army, artillery was already in place.
The commander of the artillery corps gave the order loudly, and the gunners of the empire began to get busy.
As a weapon of war, artillery has been installed in the Imperial Army, and has contributed to the Empire's repeated victories in wars.
Although this time he faced the Indians, who were extremely backward in weapons and concepts, Wang Shan still brought 200 artillery pieces. He didn't want to have an accident because of his carelessness.
And the first few battles also proved that it was extremely correct to carry artillery.
"Tell the leaders of the two wings not to act rashly. They are not allowed to attack at will without my orders, and it is up to me to decide when to let them attack. If anyone doesn't listen to the order, then I promise to let them know what anger is when the battle is over. ”
At this time, both sides were preparing for the battle, and Wang Shan also began to arrange.
Wang Shan didn't have to worry about anything about the Imperial Army under his command, what he was worried about was that there would be some situations in the Indian vassal troops on both wings.
In the previous battles, the vassal Indian units did not obey the command and attacked at will. This made Wang Shan very headache, and he also severely punished some people.
Although they didn't cause any major trouble, they still couldn't tolerate a battle if they didn't obey orders.
Poor discipline is one of the shortcomings of the Indians.
Because the indiscriminate charge of the Indian vassal warriors and the entanglement with the enemy will make the Imperial Army fall into a great passivity here.
Muskets and artillery often became unusable at this time.
Because if you fire a cannon or shoot at that time, you will often kill your own people.
This kind of thing is very much more than worth the loss.
Fortunately, there was no big mess in the first few times, otherwise the battle situation would not be easy to say.
It was precisely because of this situation that Wang Shan instructed the eagle beside him to convey his orders to the leaders of the Indian troops on both wings.
"Your Excellency, these Indians are a burden. If we had known that they were like this, we shouldn't have taken them with us. ”
When the eagle left, the captain of the guard who followed behind Wang Shan spoke to Wang Shan.
As the Chinese gene people of the empire, they are very disdainful of the Indians on the West Coast.
Compared to the Mohicans and other tribes on the east coast, the Indians here had no discipline at all.
This point makes the Chinese very disgusted.
Wang Shan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, looked at the battlefield and said faintly: "It will get better slowly, in fact, this time I took them on the expedition, just to let them see the power of the empire." I don't expect to win this war by relying on their combat power, and some of the battles that require hand-to-hand combat. and the pursuit after defeating the enemy, we also need them to do it, don't we? ”
He explained to the guard beside him.
But Wang Shan's explanation was still very difficult for the guards to accept.
"My lord, I can't accept this explanation of yours. But for the sake of their usefulness, I'll bear with them. ”
Wang Shan turned around and smiled at the guards, and then said, "Don't worry, after this war is over, we will never have any enemies again." When the development of San Francisco is the most important thing, I will also teach these Indians what discipline is. ”
"After all, we are for this place. It's an outsider. They have only taken refuge in us for half a year. It's not possible for us to let them know what discipline is within half a year. ”
Hearing this, the guard was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Not bad. What Wang Shan said was not wrong at all.
These Indians have only been here for half a year. And in this half a year's time. They also did not receive much systematic education.
As an Indian, they know how to discipline.
They are free and easy people in themselves.
If you don't teach them, how can they understand these things?
And. Some of the ideas of the empire are completely beyond this era.
Especially in military affairs, the Indians could not imagine.
Wang Shan picked up the monocular and looked at the opposite side.
I saw that in front of the five major tribes on the opposite side, some people wearing hats made of feathers on their heads kept waving their weapons in front of their warriors, as if they were shouting something loudly.
With the agitation of these people, those Indian soldiers continued to burst into shouts.
"Will to fight bonus? It's a pity that your opponent is our Song Imperial Army, so even if you add special attributes to yourself, it's useless. ”
Wang Shan put down the telescope in his hand and thought disdainfully in his heart.
"Order, artillery triple shot!"
With Wang Shan's order, the war officially began.
This battle is about the balance of the entire plain and the San Francisco area.
If Wang Shan wins this battle, then the five major tribes will be pursued and wiped out by the empire in a short period of time.
At that time, the empire will be the dominant power in this area, and there will never be a powerful tribe that can pose a threat to the area controlled by the San Francisco Empire.
And if the Imperial Army led by Wang Shan fails, then the city of San Francisco, which he has only begun to take shape after half a year of hard work, will be completely destroyed.
In other words, his efforts for half a year will be in vain.
However, how could Wang Shan lose.
Obviously, this is not very realistic.
Gunpowder reloaded!
Blossom Bullet Reloaded!
Ignition!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Two hundred cannons fired shells, and after these shells were fired out of the chamber, they rushed into the sky above the five tribal coalition forces on the opposite side.
The alliance of the five tribes, which was originally very quiet, became violently chaotic after opening fire on Wang Shan's side.
No matter how much the people with feather-knitted hats organized and reprimanded, they just couldn't silence the warriors.
Peng!
Whoa!
The first flowering bomb exploded, shattering and enveloping the underneath and shooting down in the shape of an umbrella.
Its coverage is about 20 meters, and its power is also very huge.
The warriors of the five major tribes below have never seen such a powerful weapon.
So, for a time they lost a lot of lives.
Basically, a dozen flowering bullets are a large area, and the warriors of the five major tribes fall in pieces.
In an instant, under a flowering bullet, they suffered dozens of casualties.
At this time, they were still more than a thousand meters away from the enemy.
Come on!
It may be because they have been hit by the artillery of the Imperial Army too much, so the survivors of the five major tribes who have experienced the shelling all know that in this situation, they must not continue to stand here and be beaten.
If they want to defeat their enemies, they can now only charge desperately and try to crush them...... (To be continued......)
