"Fire !!"

Under the hoarse command of the officers of the Italian Peninsula, the soldiers of the Italian Peninsula with gunpowder on their faces firmly and resolutely pulled the trigger!

However, in just a few breaths of time to stand up and pull the trigger, the Taiping soldiers who were attacking on the opposite side suddenly lay on the ground en masse, and the ones behind knelt down on one knee to aim and shoot, and then, a rain of bullets hit the breastwork and the soldiers of the Italian peninsula!

Bang bang bang......

The firing line behind the breastwork wall floated neatly white smoke, representing a spectacular scene in the era of queuing to shoot, however, the Taiping soldiers who were lying on the ground on the opposite side were shot, but only a few soldiers were shot to death, and most of the Taiping soldiers had their shoulders on the butts of their guns, constantly pulling the bolt to aim and shooting!

In the short moment when the soldiers of the Italian Peninsula got up and fired a volley, the 5-round magazines of the Hanyang-made rifles were almost all empty under the full fire of the Taiping soldiers!

At such a close distance of 100 meters, the Taiping soldiers did not need to aim carefully at all, as long as they kept pulling the bolt and pulling the trigger in the general direction of aiming!

The soldiers of the Italian Peninsula who got up from the battle were like cutting wheat, lying down neatly in the fortifications in the rear, and the soldiers of the Italian Peninsula who had finished shooting also tried to retreat and reload, giving way to the rear firing queue to continue the salvo, but when the results were staggered, a bunch of soldiers trembled and fell to the ground without warning, and the officers and soldiers of the Italian Peninsula behind the breastwork were being slaughtered efficiently under the rain of bullets!

In addition to the first round of salvos, the soldiers of the Italian Peninsula behind the defense line can no longer play a decent salvo, the Taiping soldiers rely on Hanyang-made rifles to bully the enemy seems to be addicted, the overall military formation is close at hand, but there is no intention to continue to advance, stay in place, empty the magazine and reload on the spot, with the loading speed of the Hanyang-made rifle, all 5 consecutive rounds of magazines are loaded, and the front-loading flintlock pistol may have just been loaded with a bullet......

In addition, the Hanyang-made rifle was loaded behind it, and there was no need to maintain a standing position, and it could be reloaded with other evasive tactical actions, which avoided the shooting of the lead bullets on the opposite side in a large area, and in less than ten minutes of shooting, the soldiers of the Italian Peninsula behind the breastwork were completely defeated!

The soldiers of the Italian peninsula had been crushed by the fighting spirit of the counter-fire that amounted to a one-sided slaughter......

Having easily suppressed the defenders of the Italian peninsula, who outnumbered them, the Taiping soldiers began to 'extend their firepower', standing up and suppressing the fire points in the towers and pillboxes in the rear.

Although the defenders of the Italian Peninsula had a geographical advantage, they were completely suppressed in accuracy and range, and the Taiping soldiers who could lie on the ground and make tactical movements for many minutes to dodge bullets made it difficult for the defenders of the Italian Peninsula to kill the enemy!

Relying on the convenience of Hanyang's rifles, for the first time, the soldiers of the Taiping Army did not have to fight the enemy with their chests open in a confrontational fire!

Soon, the tower pillboxes and the progressive wall firing points in the rear were suppressed again, and a group of Taiping soldiers who were responsible for the breakthrough, armed with Hanyang-made rifles with bayonets, jumped over the trench and climbed over the breastwork, and after clearing the remnants of the officers and soldiers of the Italian Peninsula in the first line of fortifications, the entire army formation of the Taiping Army launched a tsunami-like charge like a wave of pounce!

"For the sake of the kingdom of heaven, attack!"

Led by a Taiping officer wielding a revolver and waving his saber forward, the Taiping soldiers shouted and rushed into the fortifications that lay the corpses of soldiers in the Italian peninsula.

Soon, the artillery positions in the fortifications were forcibly occupied by the Taiping army for the first time, and the brand-new Italian front-loading howitzers and the corresponding flowering shells were neatly stacked on the side.

The most sad thing for the defenders of the Italian peninsula was that when the Taiping soldiers attacked the towering shooting bunkers, they pulled up these captured artillery, and aimed at the bunkers at close range was a 'boom'......

Thanks to the 'Italian artillery', the Taiping army paid fewer casualties and broke the defenses of the few large pillbox groups faster!

The troops of the Francois, Spaniards, Swiss, and other anti-Han allies who came up to support them were defeated one after another under the rain of bullets from Hanyang, and they couldn't hold out for even an hour!

The permanent fortifications, which had been pinned on by the anti-Han alliance coalition forces, were completely destroyed before they could hold out for even a day!

Subsequently, the Taiping army took the breakthrough point as a foothold and spread fortifications in all directions, encircling and annihilating the allied forces in other defensive points!

Due to the backwardness of communication technology in this era, most of the allied forces in the other defense lines failed to learn the news of the Taiping Army's breakthrough, and the Taiping Army broke through too quickly!

As a result, when the officers and soldiers of the alliance at these defensive points were attacked from both the rear and the front of the Taiping army, they repented and quickly routed!

More than 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Alliance either surrendered to the death of the battle or fled without a trace, and they could not even return to the rear base camp because the communication line had been blocked by the Taiping Army......

In this battle, the defeat of the Allied army was called a complete one, and the battle loss ratio was even higher and terrifying, and the five main divisions of the Taiping Army only suffered less than 1,000 casualties!

The casualties were no more than 1,000, and more than 100,000 Allied troops were defeated, which can be said to have created a miracle in the history of the European Continental War!

Since then, the advanced nature of the breech-loading rifled gun has officially entered the field of vision of the anti-Han allies, but unfortunately, the anti-Han allies seem to have become powerless......

The battle on the Venetian border completely crushed the main force of the Italian Peninsula coalition army, and also broke the determination of the Italian Peninsula coalition army to resist, and then the Taiping army basically did not encounter a decent battle, often a round of guns passed, and they took positions and cities everywhere, Milan, Genoa, and Tuscany fell into the control of the Taiping army unscathed, and the Taiping army's battle loss ratio was outrageously low!

The speed at which the Taiping army occupied the territory, almost equal to the speed of their march, was no longer enough to describe the anti-Han allies as a great disgrace......

A dark cloud hung over the heads of the main members of the Anti-Han League, as if the end of the world had come, and the clever politicians had already seen that the war between the Anti-Han League and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had actually been decided, and the Taiping army had the upper hand in the first battle of Venice, and the officers and soldiers of the alliance were powerless to fight back, as if they were slaughtered in their own trenches......

The heads of the main member states of the Anti-Han League could not help but reflect on this kind of war, is it necessary to fight it again?
