In the smoke and soil of the Mexican desert, 1,200 agricultural vehicles, more than 5,000 three-wheeled sidecar motorcycles, and more than 80 old man's music, together form a huge convoy, showing the grand grand occasion of rural gathering.

Of course, in this later life, any town that is a big town, or even a large grain grower, can be rounded, and it is not strange that it does not stir up a trace of waves, but it falls in the eyes of His Majesty Nasan, but it makes the eyes of this warlike emperor who frequently wags wars and wins many battles tremble slightly.

At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the banks of the rivers Rignitz and Seyo 625 years ago.

On that day, the Templars, the Teutonic knights, the cavalry of Silesia and Krakow, the Germanic peasants and Polish miners who had been requisitioned from the noble fiefdoms, they all trembled in the face of the rain of iron horses and arrows from the east, and then died humbly.

Since the Great Discoveries, Europeans have conquered one known world after another, conquering one peoples after another.

After 400 years of good sailing, Europeans have forgotten what the world should be -

Vladimir, Ryazan, Suzdal, Tver, Kiev, Galich, Moscow......

A prince from Eastern Europe came to the camp of the Khan in the lower reaches of the Volga River and kowtowed to the Khan in the most humble posture;

Venice, Milan, Castile, France, Aragon......

Struggling in the kingdoms of Western Europe in the dark Middle Ages, philosophers imagined the great kingdom at the end of the world through the trade routes.

They frantically pursued the silk and tea produced in that country, exalted the monarch of that country to the altar and worshipped it as a philosopher king, regarded the bureaucracy and the imperial examination as the ultimate prescription for governing the country, and regarded the culture of that country as the upper class and elegance.

This is the norm of history!

In just 400 years, the world has been turned upside down and misinterpreted, and the white man, who is a favored man of heaven, has carried away his scepter and regarded himself as a beacon.

It was as if their authority would be eternal, forever looking down on all beings.

Today, the facts will give the answer.

In the other hemisphere of the world, the East and the West collide again after 600 years.

Napoleon III fell into a brief trance, but Bazin was the first to warn him.

Napoleon III hurriedly gave the order to unfold the battle formation.

At present, the army led by Nasan himself has 15,000 elite Royal Guards, 10,000 6th Divisions led by Major General François, and the 3rd Division, which is directly under Marshal Bazin, which has been greatly reduced due to the first encounter with barbed wire, a total of 32,000 people.

As an army, 32,000 men does not seem to be a huge size.

But in fact, it is definitely not a simple matter for more than 30,000 people to move forward together, and it requires a very complex division of labor and scheduling.

Because they never thought that they would run into the Ming army head-on as soon as they left Mexico City, they advanced in the most ordinary four people side by side in a long snake formation.

It would take time for even elite French infantry to immediately turn such a team into a battle-friendly horizontal formation.

So what is the distance between the steel torrent of the Ming army and the French army today?

We do simple calculations.

His Majesty discovered them from the Ming army as soon as they emerged from the horizon.

His Majesty is about 1.7 meters tall and his foal is about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder, so it can be estimated that when he is on a horse, his visual height H≈ is 2.2 meters.

The point where the person stands is A, the visual end point is B, and the center of the earth is O, so that an ABO triangle can cut through the center of the earth to cut out the "plane of the earth"; Let's assume it's round.

The radius of the circle is R, the visual height of the person is H, and the visual distance is L, according to the Pythagorean theorem, there is:

R^2+L^2=(R+H)^2

Because this "line of sight" that looks at the horizon is theoretically tangent to the aforementioned circle.

Here the radius of the earth is ≈6371004 meters, and the ≈ H is 2.2 meters.

The calculation yields an L≈5294.6 meters.

In other words, even if His Majesty Nasan discovers Wu Mujun as soon as possible and issues an order as soon as possible, the time left for the French army to adjust is already pitiful.

In fact, Qi Wenchang gave the battle order almost at the same time as Nasan.

It's just that the conduction speed of military orders in the Wu Mu Army, which has a car radio, is comparable to that of a chordate nerve with a medullary shell, and it has been increased several times.

So while the French herald was still galloping between the front and rear teams on horseback, Wu Mujun had already begun to adjust the convoy.

Bazin was not entirely correct in judging that the Wumu army did not have a sufficient number of infantry.

Strictly speaking, the Wu Mu Army was not a mechanized division at all, but only a motorized infantry division.

Due to the lack of enough infantry fighting vehicles and tanks, the infantry charge was still the main combat force of the Wu Mu army, and the large number of cars and motorcycles was only used to increase mobility.

The principle is similar to that of dragoons.

3000~5000 meters is the best area for motorized infantry divisions to launch an attack.

Under the command of Qi Wenchang, the Wu Mu military convoy stopped 3,000 meters in front of the enemy, and the infantry began to get out of the car.

This distance was chosen to prevent the precious agricultural vehicles from being destroyed by enemy artillery.

A farm car is tens of thousands of cultural values, the most precious strategic material, and it is necessary to avoid entering the range of enemy artillery as much as possible.

On the contrary, it is a sidecar motorcycle, which is cheap, sufficient in quantity, and has a small target, which is called flexible and not easy to be destroyed by artillery.

As long as you add a Gatling to the sidecar and insert a sun and moon flag in the back of the car, the inside smell will come out.

A total of 15,000 infantry were disembarked from 1,000 agricultural vehicles, and a small creeper needed to carry an average of 15 people.

In terms of carrying capacity, 15 adult men are only more than a ton of equipment, and there is no problem at all, and they can even spread a few layers of food and bullets before they sit on people.

But 15 people isn't as easy to stack as a ton of bricks.

It was a difficult task for 15 big men to squeeze on the tipping bucket of the creeper and wade through mountains and rivers for thousands of kilometers.

Fortunately, they have all undergone rigorous training, and their physical fitness is also very good, and they quickly entered the combat state after getting out of the car.

In addition to the 1,000 agricultural vehicles that transported the infantry, the remaining 200 agricultural vehicles were equipped with artillery pieces.

The improved redcoat cannon used in the early stage has officially withdrawn from the sequence, except for a few that have entered the museum, and all the others have been rebuilt.

And the overused [Eagle 001] and [Eagle 002] field guns were all exported to Li Hongzhang.

At present, the main armaments of the Ming Dynasty are [Eagle 003] 254mm caliber heavy shore guns, [Eagle 004] 130mm caliber shipborne rapid-fire guns, [Eagle 005] 95mm caliber howitzers, [Eagle 006] 82mm mortars, and [Eagle 007] 75mm caliber cannons.

It is worth mentioning that the [Eagle 007] 75mm caliber cannon is currently the most produced by the Daming Royal Gun Factory and the most widely equipped cannon of all troops.

And his prototype is "Second Battalion Commander, what about your fucking Italian artillery!" "The kind of Italian cannon in it.

The so-called Italian cannon is actually an imitation of the M1887 75mm gun successfully developed by the French in 1887.

Therefore, it can also be said that this is a French cannon.

The weight of this cannon is 1.16 tons, and a creeper can carry 2-4 guns.

The effective range of this gun was supposed to be 8,500 meters, but the imitation of the Royal Gun Factory could only hit about 5,000 meters due to process problems, and the rate of fire was about 15 rounds per minute.

300 [Eagle 007] and 100 other artillery pieces lined up, and the Ming Dynasty was ready to beat the three majestys with the French cannon 20 years later.

With the support of artillery, 15,000 Ming soldiers, under the cover of reinforced agricultural vehicles and two types of tanks, began to charge at the enemy.

More than 1,000 sidecar tricycles equipped with Gatling are also like elves on the battlefield, interspersed with tactics according to assigned tasks.

At the same time, the French reluctantly conveyed the military orders of His Majesty to each battalion commander.

And below the battalion commander, many people are not at all clear about what is happening.

Rumble!!!

Soon, the dense cannon sound of the Wu Mu army told these low-level French sergeants that the enemy was coming.

Chaos is inevitable.

Fortunately, a dozen regiments of the Royal Guard, which were closer to Napoleon III, had almost completed their combat readiness, and the artillery regiments under their command had begun to return fire.

The French's 12-pounder field guns had the same caliber as the Eagle 007, but had only 25 of the latter's range.

Historically, because of its shortness, Nasan was bombarded indiscriminately by 700 Krupp cannons of the Prussians in the city of Sedan, and the whole city was in flames, filled with gunsmoke, and the white flag was raised after holding out for 6 hours.
