Chapter 823: How Did It Get To This Point?

In modern warfare, when gunpowder weapons appeared, such weapons replaced cold weapons.

Historically, Europeans have often had armies of hundreds of people in their colonies, fighting against 10,000 or even 20,000 natives and winning.

In all of these cases, the Europeans used muskets.

On the other hand, those natives use cold weapons that have been eliminated.

Therefore, the last revolt of the natives will end in failure.

And these examples of wars also took place in the early nineteenth century, that is, between the 1800s and 1820s.

During this time period, the development of muskets was actually far from being so sharp.

If you really got up, the firearms of that era were actually not very different from flintlock pistols.

It's just that there are some changes in the ammunition and firing, as well as some details, and it's not that troublesome.

Therefore, the Gene Human Legion of more than 8,000 people under Zhao Hongyu's current command still has a great chance of winning against the Kyushu Coalition Army, which has been sharply reduced to more than 70,000 people.

Hundreds of people in Europe can fight against 10,000 or 20,000 natives, so it won't be difficult for thousands of people on your side to fight 70,000 people.

What's more, the flintlock pistols used on his side are all flintlock pistols, and the other side is still cold weapons.

At the same time, the long-range weapon archers on the side of the Kyushu Coalition were wiped out by their own side at the beginning.

Therefore, as long as a certain distance is maintained, then it is impossible for the Kyushu coalition to cause great damage to their side at all.

Moreover, it is completely unclear to the people of Kyushu what kind of battle they are fighting now. At the same time, what tactics and weapons their enemies use.

This battle can almost be said to be a confrontation between a small modern civilization and an ancient civilization.

Judging from the results of the current battle, it is obvious that the modern civilization represented by Zhao Hongyu has begun to gain the upper hand from its disadvantage.

On the side of the Kyushu coalition. After a series of blows, the strength was sharply reduced to more than 70,000 people.

Even so, they seem to have an advantage in terms of troops.

It's just that the Kyushu Coalition Army, which has the advantage, is now being pressed and beaten by Zhao Hongyu.

Shoot!

Bang! Woohoo!

The genetic people of the Imperial Army under Zhao Hongyu mechanically and rigidly repeated the shooting again and again, and their queues did not have the slightest confusion in the shooting again and again, and they still maintained a neat queue of five teams.

They stood in front of a trench that was almost full of human bodies, and they played the role of reapers of life very well.

At this time, there were still many Kyushu soldiers alive in the trench. These Kyushu soldiers all fell after the most sluggishness. So they basically didn't get hurt.

However, these guys are not having a good time.

Because when the Imperial Army came out to shoot, they would throw a grenade into the trench in advance.

In this way, those Kyushu soldiers in the trench were seriously injured all of a sudden.

Under such two rounds of grenade attacks, there are basically not many Kyushu soldiers left who can survive in the trenches.

The soldiers of the Kyushu coalition on the other side of the trench suffered even more losses due to the sudden attack.

"Rush me! Do not be afraid of the enemy's iron cannons. As soon as we rush over, these iron artillerymen will be slaughtered by us! The generals mixed in with the soldiers shouted loudly.

For muskets. In fact, the Japanese people are not strangers at all.

In the Warring States period, the Japanese also used muskets.

It's just that the Japanese people used to call the musket an iron cannon.

At the same time, the daimyo of the Warring States period used muskets to form musketeers. Actually, there are not many of them.

The most famous was Oda Nobunaga, and his musketeers numbered only 500.

For example, the thousands of people under Zhao Hongyu's command are musketeers, and they really haven't seen it yet.

But. It is precisely for this reason that the Kyushu soldiers in the chaos slowly stabilized.

Because in their cognition, although the power of the iron cannon is very powerful, this weapon also has certain disadvantages.

That is, it is slow to reload, and at the same time it is easy to explode, and the musketeers have no other weapons than muskets.

In other words, as long as they can rush in front of them, then these musketeers are dead.

Therefore, with the encouragement of the generals, the chaotic Kyushu soldiers began to rush over again.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only a hundred meters.

Because of the initiative of the genetic soldiers, the original distance has been shortened a lot.

Crackling! Crackling!

The sound of flintlock firing was like frying beans in a pot.

Every time a gunshot rang out, in front of the charging team of the Kyushu coalition army, pieces of soldiers would fall.

The five-stage shot was endless, like waves of the sea.

"Nani! Is this a technique that surpasses Oda Nobunaga's three-stage shooting? ”

Fujita High School, who was in the rear of the Kyushu Coalition Army, saw the queuing tactics under Zhao Hongyu, and immediately understood it.

It can be seen that Fujita High School is not a person who does not learn and does not know no skills, at least he also knows the three-stage archery technique of Oda Nobunaga.

Actually, whether Ishida Nobunaga is in another time and space, or in this time and space, this guy is a very powerful character, but Oda Nobunaga in these two time and space has not escaped a tragic circle.

The Great Demon King of Oda in this time and space was also killed by Akechi Mitsuhide.

It's just that the reason why the Great Demon King of Oda in this time and space was killed is different from the Great Demon King of another time and space.

In this time and space, Akechi Mitsuhide killed the Great Demon King of Oda because of the love between friends.

Because the Great Demon King of Oda empathized with other loves, the wise Mitsuhide of the glass heart was angry and killed the Great Demon King of Oda, and then burned him to death.

If there is a rotten girl in this era, I must know that after telling the story of the great demon king and wise Mitsuhide in this time and space, she will definitely write a song and cry story of your friends, and then pass it on to future generations.

But in any case, although the Great Demon King and Akechi Mitsuhide were distorted in this time and space, the three-stage archery technique created by the Great Demon King still spread, and it was well known to many daimyo of the Wa Kingdom.

Therefore, Fujita High School saw the tactics used by Zhao Hongyu's side. Immediately, I thought of the Oda Great Demon King's three-stage iron cannon tactics.

At this time, Fujita was a sophomore in high school, his face was pale, and his lips were blue and black.

These damn foreigners, how can they be so rich and able to use so many iron cannons.

Don't they know that the lead bullets of the iron cannon cost a lot of money to buy, and every shot is a lot of money.

Zhao Hongyu didn't know what Fujita High School Sophomore was thinking at this time, even if Zhao Hongyu knew it, he would probably disdain it.

Is buckshot worth a lot?

Buying a lead pill in the virtual world realm doesn't cost much money at all, so Zhao Hongyu is fully capable of using it. And the gunpowder on the other side of the virtual world. It's also very cheap.

As long as Zhao Hongyu has money in his virtual account, then it is simply as much as he wants.

In fact, it is understandable that Fujita has such an idea in his sophomore year of high school.

After all, he didn't know how cheap gunpowder and lead bullet were in the Metaverse, because in the Metaverse, which is no different from the 21st century, these things can already be mass-produced at will.

It's like in this era, gunpowder and lead bullet are still very expensive things.

At the beginning, the musket here in the Wa Kingdom. It was also first handed down from European merchants.

European merchants at the time, an old-fashioned musket demanded a high price, while also controlling the channels for gunpowder and buckshot.

This is also for the reason why Oda Nobunaga's financial resources were only able to build an iron cannon team of 500 people.

It's too expensive. As long as it rings, it's money.

Today's battle here really opened the eyes of Fujita's sophomore.

He felt that the enemy on the opposite side was simply throwing money at his side, and he used the money to smash so many soldiers of the Kyushu Coalition Army to death.

The shells of the previous artillery were much more expensive than the lead bullets of the iron cannons. Especially gunpowder.

I really don't understand where the enemies on the opposite side got so much money to support them to fight at such a level.

And. Where did they get so many artillery?

Not to mention these thousands of muskets.

I'll tell you how much these guns and muskets will cost.

According to the current market price, an iron cannon of the Franc machine man costs 280 yuan, and it is more than 200 taels when converted into silver.

These thousands of muskets... Hey, it's not that I don't know how to be scared.

At the same time, the price of artillery is even more ridiculously expensive, and even the sea ships of Kou Li Xiang are not equipped with a few.

Even if it is a local tyrant in the west, the rich and handsome Ming Empire in the eyes of the Japanese people wants to build an artillery, it needs thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But today look at the enemy on the opposite side, and as soon as they shoot, they have more than 200 artillery pieces.

If this is converted into silver, it is more than a million taels.

This is simply a naked local tyrant wow!

Look at your own side again, that's the sad dick...... I can only stand and not cry.

"Fujita-kun, what now. I don't think the momentum of the charge is quite right, should we let the soldiers tear it down and make a decision? ”

Just when Fujita Gaoji felt cold in his heart and felt that he was a dick, the lord of Fukuoka Castle beside him asked.

Yes, the battle has been fought until now, although not very long. But the real daimyo all noticed that something was wrong.

Don't look at the infantry of the Kyushu Coalition Army now, they are still charging.

But as long as they are not fools, they can see that their charge is not of any use at all.

Now the infantrymen who were charging were being pressed and beaten by the enemy, and there was nothing they could do under the enemy's guns in pieces.

As a result, some of them have begun to retreat, and they want to withdraw all the soldiers who have charged up.

However, in the current situation, how can it be said that it will be withdrawn?

Even if you want to withdraw, it depends on whether the enemy is willing or not.

It will also be said that now that the battle has reached such a point, it is no longer something they can control.

Fujita closed his eyes sadly.

"How did things get to this point?"

He couldn't figure it out. (To be continued......)
