Chapter 701: Cannon Fire Adds to Himself Like a Divine Demon [2 More]
Moreover, if the First Emperor was more crazy, it was not impossible to increase the conscription ratio, with a population of 450 million, and provide 30 or 50 million soldiers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Think about the World War II period, the Soviet Union mobilized tens of millions of troops in order to defend against Germany, and you must know that the total population of the entire Soviet Union is not more than 100 million.
Population is sometimes an advantage, what limits the First Emperor at the moment is time, it only takes five years, or even three years, and the strength of Huaxia can at least double again, if it really comes to that time, why should the First Emperor consider using the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Immortal Army, just the millions of elite Great Qin troops equipped with advanced weapons are enough to sweep away the coalition army.
Fang Xiaoyu watched the Great Qin military horses in black military uniforms enter the coalition army position like a black torrent, and sighed with emotion in his heart.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first emperor of the ages, even if he does it himself, I am afraid it will not be much better than the first emperor, I have to say that the first emperor can make a big change in China in just a few years, it is really not simple.
As the artillery of the coalition army began to roar, the offensive of the Great Qin army was obviously suppressed to a certain extent, but fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared for this, and soon the artillery of both sides was pouring shells on the heads of the opponent's military horses at the fastest speed in order to inflict maximum damage on the other side.
However, seeing that the offensive was blocked, the First Emperor couldn't help frowning, afraid that with psychological preparation, the First Emperor was still very unhappy.
The two of them walked slowly, although they were said to be in the rear of the army, but occasionally stray bullets exploded in all directions.
With the current strength of Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor, even if there is really a cannonball exploding near them, unless it is directly aimed by the cannon, it will be difficult to injure both of them.
At least the artillery of this period, that is, those high-powered naval guns, could threaten the two of them, at least these army guns were not powerful enough to pose a threat to the two.
Therefore, on the battlefield, many soldiers of Great Qin could see two figures leisurely walking between the artillery fire, and one of them was their great First Emperor His Majesty.
The figure of the First Emperor who went to the front line fell into the eyes of many soldiers, and everyone saw that his majesty's daughter appeared on the front line in the face of artillery fire, and the morale was suddenly high, and the already crumbling defense line was suddenly rushed away by the army with soaring morale.
More than a dozen miles away, Abigail, surrounded by more than a dozen generals and staff officers, was using a telescope to observe the situation on the front line.
In Abigail's view, the situation on the front line was a little bad, because Daqin was the first to move, so the coalition side was caught off guard, lost two lines of defense one after another, and retreated to the third line of defense to stabilize the overall situation, but relatively speaking, the loss was not small.
In less than an hour, the coalition side lost at least 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, although it is said that 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses are only a very small part of the million army, but this kind of loss cannot be said to be small, that is, the coalition army and horses are numerous, otherwise such a big loss, the defense line may have completely collapsed.
A general said to Abigail with an ugly face: "General, the situation is a little bad, one of our elite divisions has lost most of it, and the two servant divisions have even collapsed long ago, if we don't block the momentum of Daqin's attack, I'm afraid that the next losses will be even greater." ”
While speaking, Abigail, who was observing the battle situation on the front line through a telescope, said: "I really can't imagine that the backward China in the past can still have such brave and good soldiers, have you seen it, the muskets in their hands are even more powerful than the most advanced muskets of our empire where the sun never sets." ”
At the forefront was the most elite army of sharp warriors in Great Qin, and everywhere they passed was almost like a bamboo, sweeping away all the enemies that were blocked.
Naturally, the powerful firepower was also discovered, and Abigail's face was naturally not good-looking, their empire had always had the most advanced weapons, but now the enemy had even more advanced weapons in their hands.
"It's not good, what's going on with those Great Qin soldiers, obviously the offensive has a tendency to be blocked, but all of a sudden, they seem to be crazy one by one, can't they take the medicine?"
Abigail and the others all found out that something was wrong, after all, when the coalition army retreated to the third line of defense, the offensive really had a tendency to be blocked, but in an instant, the morale of the Great Qin side skyrocketed, and the third line of defense was broken away in a few places.
The defense lines laid by the coalition side add up to only five defense lines, and the loss of two defense lines in succession has already shocked the coalition high-level leaders, but fortunately, the remaining three defense lines are enough to deal with the Great Qin side. At least it didn't panic the coalition forces.
But if even the third line of defense is breached, it means that the coalition forces only have two lines of defense left, don't look at the two lines of defense and the three lines of defense are not much different, but psychologically it is very different.
If there are only two lines of defense left, it means that the mountain is almost exhausted, and the invisible pressure will come to the face.
"Find out to me what the reason is, why those Great Qin soldiers seem to be crazy, and they are not even afraid of death."
With a few gaps in the third line of defense, even a fool can see at this time that the third line of defense is no longer defensible.
If you lose the third line of defense, that's fine, there are at least two lines of defense, but at least you have to figure out why the morale of the Great Qin side suddenly skyrocketed, if you can't even figure this out, if you get your hands on it and suddenly there is a morale surge, wouldn't it mean that the fourth and fifth lines of defense may also be broken through at that time.
"General, look at those two people."
Suddenly, a staff officer shouted.
Under the prompting of the staff officer, Abigail soon found the two figures pointed by the staff officer in the smoke of gunpowder and many Great Qin soldiers.
Wherever these two figures passed, the Great Qin soldiers shouted excitedly one by one, and even fearlessly rushed towards the defense line in the face of artillery fire, and the momentum of not fearing death was simply terrifying.
"What the hell are these two people, and why did they make those soldiers so crazy."
Abigail, who was pale, looked at the two figures, and was already sure that it was the appearance of the corridor figures that made the morale of the Great Qin soldiers high.
It's a pity that these people don't know that the two of them are Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor, otherwise they would be even more shocked.
However, the voice of the Great Qin soldiers shouting long live was faintly heard, and some of these staff officers could understand Chinese, and their expressions were slightly stunned, and their faces showed a strange look.
I only heard the soldier who could understand Chinese say to Abigail: 'General, that man...... That person is very likely to be the Great Qin Emperor. ’
Slightly stunned, Abigail reacted, glared at the staff officer and said, "Kivis, you can't be crazy, do you think that His Majesty the Emperor of a country will appear on this battlefield?" ”
Kivis was the staff officer, and he was stunned for a moment after listening to Abigail's reprimand, and said with a wry smile: "But those Great Qin soldiers are clearly shouting Long Live ah, in Great Qin, except for their emperor, no one can afford to be called Long Live alive." ”
Abigail didn't believe that the First Emperor would appear on the battlefield, which seemed like a joke to a general like him.
So Abigail definitely didn't believe it, but Abigail said: "The other party is definitely not the First Emperor of Great Qin, but it is possible that he is a member of the Great Qin royal family, it seems that these two people have a great effect on the morale of the Great Qin soldiers, if they can blow up the two of them, they will definitely be able to hit the morale of Great Qin at that time." ”
While speaking, Abigail immediately said to Kivis: "Kivis, immediately notify the artillery unit for me, concentrate the artillery fire, and blow these two people to pieces for me." ”
Kievis immediately answered, and hurriedly summoned heralds to convey Abigail's order.
After almost a cup of tea, dozens of cannonballs were immediately seen covering Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor, and it was obvious that Abigail's order had been carried out.
Through the binoculars, Abigail saw that the two figures were overwhelmed by a piece of artillery fire, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
However, it was said that Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor were walking on the battlefield, and the presence of the First Emperor like this could be imagined as great a boost to the morale of the army, and many Great Qin soldiers were even afraid of death to attack the defense line, only to impact the coalition defense line in front of them to crumbling.
However, Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor obviously knew that the two of them would not be noticed if they were in the rear, but their appearance on the front line was too big, as long as the generals of the coalition army were not blind, they would definitely notice the two of them.
Once noticed, it will inevitably attract artillery fire, and sure enough, it is only a moment before there is a whistling sound in the air.
The cannonball fell from the sky, and the landing point happened to cover a radius of several hundred meters between Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor.
More than a dozen shells exploded within a radius of several hundred meters, and under such artillery fire, even Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor would definitely not be able to bear it.
Maybe there is no way to take them with one or two shells, but if so many shells explode, if you really resist hard, you will be injured.
However, at the moment when the cannonball landed and exploded, the figures of Fang Xiaoyu and the First Emperor were drowned in the smoke of the cannonball.
The surrounding Great Qin generals and soldiers were all suppressed, others didn't know, but they knew that it was their Emperor His Majesty who appeared on the battlefield.
Now His Majesty has been covered by the enemy's artillery fire, and even a fool knows that if he is covered by such fierce artillery fire, his life will be in danger nine times out of ten.
"Your Majesty......"
Many of the soldiers rushed towards the place of the explosion as if they were crazy, as if they wanted to rush into the artillery fire to save the First Emperor.
A gust of wind blew, and the smoke was blown away, and I saw that in the smoke of gunpowder, two figures stood there unharmed, as if they were not affected in the slightest, and walked slowly with laughter, as if they were not the ones who had just been ravaged by the artillery fire.
Click, the telescope in Abigail's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, through the telescope, Abigail clearly saw a ball of fire bursting open, in that firelight, even an iron man can be blown to pieces, but when the smoke dissipated, the first emperor and Fang Xiaoyu appeared in his sight.
Suddenly, Abigail was stunned, and he didn't even notice that the telescope in his hand fell, only to hear Abigail muttering: "How is it possible, how is this possible." ”
Not to mention Abigail, even the others were dumbfounded at this moment, several generals and staff officers of the Empire on which the sun never set were not much better than Abigail, after all, the person who should have been blown to pieces in their perception was intact, and everyone would be shocked.
Even many soldiers on the Great Qin side were stunned, a moment ago they thought that their Majesty had been killed by artillery fire, but in the blink of an eye, their Majesty was intact.
After reacting, these soldiers couldn't help but cheer loudly: "Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." ”
There is nothing more exciting than the fact that the First Emperor was intact under artillery bombardment, and the image of the First Emperor's majestic and calm was imprinted on the hearts of countless soldiers.
By word of mouth, on the entire battlefield, nearly a million Great Qin soldiers knew that His Majesty was blessed by the gods, even if they were bombarded by enemy artillery.
The cheers resounded throughout the battlefield, it can be said that at this time, the morale of the soldiers of the Great Qin reached its peak, while the morale of the soldiers of the opposing coalition army was seriously frustrated, although it was said that only a very small number of people saw that scene, but the morale of one side was high, and the other side would naturally be affected.
The already crumbling third line of defense was broken through in an instant, and many coalition soldiers who did not react were killed on the spot, but many coalition soldiers reacted and raised their hands and chose to surrender.
For these people, surrender is not a shameful thing, since they have lost the war, then choose to surrender, anyway, they have done their best on the battlefield, such a move is allowed in the West.
Some of the Great Qin soldiers gathered their troops and surrendered their troops, while the others continued to charge forward and storm the fourth line of defense.
Because the third line of defense collapsed too quickly and too strangely, the total number of soldiers who retreated from the first and second lines of defense to the third line of defense was almost 300,000.
In addition to the tens of thousands killed in the battle, in fact, there were at least about 250,000 coalition soldiers on the third line of defense, and as the defense line was breached, 50,000 of the 250,000 soldiers were killed, and the remaining more than 200,000 chose to surrender.
However, after breaking through three lines of defense in a row, the losses of the Great Qin side were also very large, with nearly 100,000 casualties, but relatively speaking, breaking through three lines of defense in a row and killing more than 300,000 soldiers of the surrendered coalition army, the ratio of losses on both sides was almost three to one.
