Chapter 163: Tentative Attack

When the Spanish soldiers came up, all the artillery of the Han Empire suddenly came with a round of hearty salvo!

The artillery of the Han Empire used not backward iron eggs, but expensive explosive shells, commonly known as flowering shells!

There was no bombardment of the scattered artillery of the Franco-Spanish army before, but because the distance was too long, the hit rate was too low, and the ammunition was saved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Explosive projectiles filled with black powder burst out in the infantry line, and each hit projectile knocked down several Spanish soldiers or even more than the plurality!

Not all of them were killed, many of them were brought down by the impact......

A few are intimidated......

Although the French commanders looked down on these Spanish colonial troops, after all, they were also soldiers who suppressed the natives all year round, and they still had basic discipline and combat qualities, and most of them had also experienced this kind of artillery bombardment.

In fact, if the real elite veterans on the European battlefield, even if the shells exploded in the crowd, these soldiers would continue to march forward with expressionless faces, and they would not be like these colonial soldiers, and they would have to be 'taught' by the officers......

Of course, the colonial soldiers here only refer to the lonely Spanish colonial soldiers, the British and French colonial regular armies, many soldiers have experienced major battles, and can fight much more than Spanish soldiers!

The French commander held a telescope and watched the Han Empire constantly fire expensive flowering shells, and couldn't help but curse angrily, the extravagance of these Indians......

It's not that these European armies can't afford to shoot explosive bombs, but those explosive bombs are produced in European factories, and in the event of a war breaking out in Europe at any time, who will spend the financial funds and ship them over?

In fact, Madame de Pompadour only brought in 10,000 French soldiers, and the musket ammunition they carried with them, none of the artillery was delivered, artillery was a valuable thing, and Madame Pompadour sent troops here to make a small cost speculation, not to throw money at war!

The artillery used by the Franco-Spanish army was provided by the Spanish colonies, and many of them were old-fashioned artillery pieces from the last century, which were very old......

If it weren't for the fact that the number of them had reached dozens, I am afraid that they would not have been able to do any damage to the defense line of the Han Empire!

The powerful explosive shells of the artillery of the Han Empire killed and injured the artillery of the Franco-Spanish coalition army in such a short period of time for the Spanish colonial army, and it took almost a morning to kill and wound the troops!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Franco-Spanish artillery mainly bombarded improvised fortifications.

Thanks to the prolonged artillery bombardment of the Franco-Spanish forces, the fighting posture of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas, which was in front, was practically not much different from the field and skirmishes......

After the Spanish colonial army stepped into a hundred paces with gunpowder smoke in their faces, the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas once again showed their own shortcomings, and before the officer gave the order, there were Indian soldiers who were overly nervous on the battlefield and pulled the trigger!

The most common mistakes of recruits!

Bang Bang Bang ......

When the opposing army pressed in, this kind of private shooting was basically the same as the effect of the starting pistol, and the Indian soldiers around who were already nervous subconsciously pulled the trigger after hearing the gunshot!

Zhao Dutian frowned at the performance of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas in the rear, and his mind was only left with the grass mud horse, a 'cute creature' jumping like a joy......

"Hey~ It's really an unwise choice to let the American Self-Defense Force go to the front-line battlefield, if it weren't for the lack of human resources in the Han Empire, these people should be mascot-like 'police' troops!" Zhao Dutian couldn't help but complain.

Contrary to Zhao Dutian's mood was George Macartney, the British envoy, who looked at the performance of those inferior barbaric Indian soldiers with such an expression on his face.

This is the standard for lagging behind the world's armies, otherwise, how could a European country defeat an empire of millions of people with hundreds or thousands of people?

Even among the Spanish army, which was not in the flow of the European battlefield, the even more unbearable colonial army could be regarded as excellent in the face of the feudal army!

The British Empire is now at least an ally of the Han Empire, and George Macartney, the plenipotentiary envoy, is naturally qualified to follow Zhao Dutian to the front line!

Zhao Dutian has nothing to shy away from, the results and process of this battle will definitely be presented to the monarchs of the European powers as soon as possible, and Britain will at most get the news in advance at the convenience of George Macartney!

However, this time Zhao Dutian came to the front line, not to meddle in the command, on the one hand, to bring the entire Han Guards, on the other hand, to increase the morale of his own army, for the French this is just a tentative local war, but for Zhao Dutian, this war must be won!

If you win, you can safely swallow all the current territory, dispel the bad thoughts of France and the Kingdom of Spain, and strengthen the determination of the British Empire to support you!

If you lose......

How could it fail?

Zhao Dutian will not allow this kind of thing to happen!

What he has in his hand is a trump card, this decisive style of play, he must win!

The two infantry regiments of the Spanish colonial army were immediately relieved when they saw that the enemy had just entered a distance of 100 meters and fired a salvo!

Subsequently, the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas fired a volley when the Spanish soldiers entered a distance of almost 50 meters, and this round really caused considerable damage to the Spaniards' line line!

Then, the Spaniard walked away in a stunned manner, and within a distance of about 50 meters, he shot the first volley!

The soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas were dumbfounded......

The number of fallen compatriots around seems to be a bit much!

These soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas did not collapse immediately, but there were some not very good phenomena, such as trembling hands and feet, and the reload time was extended several times, and even the stabbing strips were simply fired......

Of course, the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces of the Americas could not shoot a neat platoon of guns, and those with good psychological quality could shoot normally, and most of the energy with poor psychological quality was spent on prayers......

Compared with the lethality of the platoon guns of the soldiers of the American Self-Defense Force, the artillery of the Han Empire has to create hundreds of corpses as the distance approaches!

After the Spanish soldiers fired a second volley, they were bombarded by the powerful blasting shells of the Han Empire! (To be continued.) )
