Chapter Seventy-Seven: Weapons Made for the Third World War
And so it is.
The essence of the reason why the queue was able to crush the classical army of its time was that it could form a continuous dense fire on the battlefield, and any enemy who could not break through this death distance, no matter how many people came, would fall under the three-stage fire without intermittent pauses.
What's more, the soldiers under Nanshan's command all use modern firearms with magazines, which not only have a much larger capacity than flintlock pistols and arquebuses, but also reduce the reload time to only three to five seconds. Even if these cavalrymen were advancing at maximum speed, the distance of two or three hundred meters would be enough for the former to shoot more than one round.
In terms of the number of bullets, this is more than 200,000 rounds, and the total number of cavalry led by Bhikshu Liju is even more, plus the latter is limited by geographical location, and can only put a huge force into this narrow cross-section less than two miles wide, which makes Zhang Yong and the others really need to face, only the goal of less than 5,000 people in the front row.
Like the flanks and rear, those who want to surround them with roundabout tactics on both flanks, only to wait for the middle to die, they will not be able to complete the nearly double movement distance and more complex line maneuvers..... You must know that regardless of whether it is a super army that has left a great name in history in ancient times, or a fully mechanized army that has mastered advanced means of communication in modern times, the roundabout tactics of large corps have always been the patent of a few elites. It is also because these people are all born in nomadic people, who grew up with horses and have excellent riding skills, so that they can integrate the habits of large-scale hunting into marching and fighting, and complete this difficult operation (starting from the Xiongnu, the custom of hunting has been formed on the grassland).
Therefore, even if the more than 400,000 tribal coalition troops were pressed at this moment, it would be useless.
With a terrifying output of more than 600,000 rounds of ammunition per minute, it's enough to tear apart any enemy that stands in its way.
However, now, after blessing the frenzied state given by Wu Zhu, most of the bullets that could have caused huge casualties to the tribal alliance were blocked by the enemies in the front row. The rest of the people, even if they can still pass through the gap in the crowd and hurt the people behind, the impact they can cause is only a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of troops of the opponent as high as more than 100,000.
When the soldiers in the second row came up, they ran out of twenty rounds in the magazine, and the tribal coalition that died as a result was less than four or five thousand.
"The response was timely.....
Nanshan stood at the castle tower and commented on the telescope in his hand.
From him, the entire battlefield can be seen, and there are iron-blooded ships far away in space that can accurately count the death toll according to the changes in the heat source.
I have to admit that Qiu Liju made a fairly correct choice.
Directly sacrifice those in the front row and let them block the bullets for those in the back.
You know, generally can be selected as the vanguard to rush to the front line, either cannon fodder, or elite, and at the moment this situation of complete numerical dominance, in order not to slow down the speed of the march, you can enter the city as soon as possible to burn and loot, the first few rows can be said to have concentrated most of the opponent's strength, except for the leaders and warriors of the small and medium-sized tribes, all of them are potential seeds that have a certain chance to stimulate the battle spirit in the future, so simply let them block the gun, which undoubtedly proves that this group of alien coalition forces hates them to the core, I am afraid that after entering the city, No one will be spared.
"It's a pity that I already expected it."
Nanshan smiled coldly at this.
Don't forget, after the Wolf God's bloodline awakening ceremony, as the great witch of the Wuhuan people, Wumeng once wanted to enter his body through the effect of the Red Mountain Bow that can protect the soul, trying to occupy the magpie's nest. Unexpectedly, he was not the fool whose brain was burned out at all, but an undercover agent who had been lurking for a while, and his mental power attribute was not low.
After obtaining the strengthening of the Wu bloodline, he can be regarded as truly stepping into the ranks of official reincarnation (three stars or more), not only has his spiritual attributes reached thirty-five points, but his will is also due to the in-depth transformation of the ritual process..... The two high-level bloodlines that have been cultivated and gathered through the sacrifices of tens of thousands of people, before being injected into his body and strong armor respectively, had used his own body as a battlefield for a short confrontation, constantly fused with the old cells, and were crushed and destroyed under the influence of another extreme force, this kind of cell-level battle and stimulation directly made his will attribute rise a lot out of thin air, it was already close to forty points, as long as he went back to the infinite space, through the verification of the arena, he could obtain the corresponding qualification authority.
Such spiritual and volitional attributes, even if they can't catch up with those fake "immortals", are not pediatric to deal with a single soul like Wumeng, who has lost his body and has no strength to replenish.
In order not to be devoured and absorbed by the wolf spirit blood guard as a dessert, or used to attack the Red Mountain Bow and Spirit, Wumeng had to tell the truth about all kinds of witchcraft from shamanism, so Nanshan was clear about the possible countermeasures of the tribal alliance.
I saw that before Qiu Liju could lead the people to rush within a hundred meters, the soldiers outside the city who had already retreated to the back row to change the magazine took out a weapon somewhat similar to a mallet from the strap on their waists.
At the front of it is a large cylinder made of cast iron, connected by a curved wooden rod to a twistable lid that, when opened, has a drawstring inside.
That's right, this is the weapon that the Republic frantically created in order to cope with the outbreak of the Third World War - the grenade with a wooden handle. Legend has it that there are hundreds of millions, and even after being distributed to the 30 million militia at that time, there are still a lot left. In the end, it had to be treated as a one-time consumable, and every time a recruit was trained, it was pulled out of the third-line warehouse one by one. It's a pity that he hasn't been thrown away for decades, and he brought back these rags from the world of the new Predator that no one wants to want, which can be regarded as saving them a lot of money for storage and destruction.
But don't underestimate this old-fashioned wooden-handled grenade, the reason why no one likes to use it is nothing more than its heavy weight and inconvenient to carry, but in terms of charge and power, it is no worse than an American-style small pumpkin.
A wooden-handled grenade with a total weight of more than one pound can produce 70~110 fragments, with an effective killing radius of 7m and an ultimate killing radius of 20 meters.
What's even more brilliant is that, with the same force, the old-fashioned wooden-handled grenade can be delivered farther than the American grenade, on average one-third more.
And with the per capita physical fitness of the Dynasty Warriors World, this extra weight will not have any effect at all, on the contrary, it can allow soldiers to fully exert their physical advantages and easily throw the wooden handle grenade in their hands a hundred meters away!
