At dawn the next day, the Swedish and Norwegian armies began to attack.

Despite his mental preparation, Li Xiu was shocked by the rough tactics of the Nordic army.

At five o'clock in the morning, tens of thousands of artillery pieces were fired at the coalition positions.

Regardless of the caliber of artillery, all of them desperately fired into the city of St. Petersburg. Countless shells that blew up St. Petersburg like a massive fireworks release field at Christmas.

Almost instantly, the whole of St. Petersburg was covered in smoke.

Rocket artillery, even more incessantly pouring steel into St. Petersburg.

Li Xiu was surprised to find that they seemed to be shelling only for the sake of shelling. There was no order at all to specialize artillery to bombard the walls of St. Petersburg.

The entire shelling was done in a tense and disorderly state.

This shocked Li Xiu very much, isn't this a waste of ammunition?

The shelling lasted for two hours, during which there was no intention of counterattacking in St. Petersburg. It's as if the whole of St. Petersburg has disappeared.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the artillery preparations had stopped for half an hour, and the Swedes and Norwegians attacked.

Half an hour, enough for the smoke to clear. Li Xiu didn't quite understand, didn't it be better to launch an attack when the smoke of the artillery was still thick and the enemy's vision was not clear?

Why Mao wants to wait for the smoke to dissipate and launch a charge in his mother?

Sure enough, as Li Xiu expected, there were only a few gaps in the walls of St. Petersburg. The rest of the wall, though blown to resemble the face of a leper, was not collapsed in many places.

What shocked Li Xiu even more was the impact formation of the Nordics!

The Swedes and Norwegians were tall and muscular, and they were under a command. With a rifle with a bayonet in hand, he rushed to the walls of St. Petersburg with a shout.

That's right, thousands of people charged together.

Before they could reach the effective firing range, these people began to crack their guns. Li Xiu felt that these people were putting guns more like emboldening themselves.

It is estimated that if the bullet fired in the chamber of the gun wants to hit people, one depends on the character of the launcher, and the other depends on the character of the target.

Today's weather is nice and the sun is shining on the earth. There are not even a few clouds in the sky, and the vision conditions cannot be better.

Thousands of people are just like this, swaggering in broad daylight.

There are no tactical groups, no tactical allocation. There is no systematic organization, and the Nordics run wildly in the sun.

Li Xiu can imagine that the fate of these people will be miserable.

Their leading officers could not be blamed for this, because the officers also charged together. Even in the front row of the charge, Li Xiu saw at least five people wearing colonel's epaulettes.

The Russians were patient, and the screaming Norsemen charged to a distance of five hundred meters, and still no one fired a shot.

Li Xiu closed his eyes, and the closer he rushed, the greater the casualties. This charge is of no use at all except to give the enemy a head.

The moment Li Xiu closed his eyes, the terrifying sound of machine guns rang out.

Makqin's unique "sudden" and "sudden" sound made people tremble when they heard it.

Countless bullets rained down from the sky, directly splitting the charging Swedish and Norwegian armies in two.

The sudden blow made the charging team suddenly chaotic. The soldiers screamed and wailed in pools of blood, but no one could save them, not including their gods.

The Russians fought very well, and there were more than 100 Makqin to divide the team. Plumes of smoke rose from the city of St. Petersburg, and then Li Xiu heard the characteristic shrill whistling of rocket artillery.

The infantry in the back row, who were crushed by Makqin, had just congratulated themselves on being no longer in the range of the machine guns when they were bombarded by dense rocket shells.

The soldiers lying on the ground were almost completely wiped out, and some of them were directly hit by the shells, and their bodies were directly vaporized. Some were lucky not to be hit by shells.

As a result, they died from the shock wave after the explosion, a huge explosion that shook them and bleed in an instant.

The soldiers in the front row, somewhat overwhelmed. They didn't know whether to continue the charge or to retreat.

Those who wear the rank of colonel also have a confused mind. Someone with a pistol commanded the troops to continue the charge. Someone kept telling his men to run back.

Someone rushes forward, someone runs backwards.

While they were in confusion, a little light flashed above the walls.

It's anti-aircraft guns!

Anti-aircraft guns, which fire quickly, are also amazingly powerful if they are fired horizontally.

At a distance of 300 meters, if a 25-mm shell hits you, you will immediately break into several pieces.

This is not a war, this is a one-sided slaughter.

"The general of the Russian army is a tough opponent." Li Xiu put down the binoculars and decided to go back to the warship.

Staying with these idiots, the danger factor is increasing exponentially.

"I heard ......! It was as if the Russian Duke Peter was in St. Petersburg, and if he was really there, then the Supreme Commander could only be him. "Chen Laohu has already sent someone to inquire beforehand, and Daming is still very serious about this kind of pre-war intelligence.

"It's remarkable for a duke to be able to command troops like this. Remember this person and be careful when you meet him in the future. After Li Xiu finished speaking, he walked towards the port with his hands behind his back.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the massacre ended.

Tens of thousands of troops in Sweden and Norway were devastated in an hour. Of the 30,000 Swedish troops, less than 9,000 remained, and the Norwegians were even more miserable, with less than 5,000 of the 20,000 Norwegian troops left.

In just an hour, the Swedish and Norwegian armies in the coalition were incapacitated.

"You knew it was going to be like this, didn't you?" Hawke yelled at Schlieffen.

Within an hour, his two sons and four nephews had all been killed.

"Hawke! Pay attention to your words, wars always kill people. And I promised you that as long as you take the walls, you won't have to worry about the rest. ”

Schlieffen looked at Hawk like a chainsaw, and Hawke's face flushed, but he didn't continue to speak.

Because he found that the Prussian guards had already raised their guns.

The vitality of his army was greatly damaged, and at this time, he could only suffer from the fire.

Watching the Swedes and Norwegians wander away, Schlieffen revisited the map.

"St. Petersburg is very well defended, and I think we have to conquer this place. I'm afraid there will be at least more than 100,000 casualties! Schlieffen said helplessly.

In fact, Schlieffen said very modestly, only for an hour. The coalition forces have already suffered close to 40,000 casualties!

"And what do you want to do?" Grouchy looked at Schlieffen.

If Schlieffen had ordered the French army to attack St. Petersburg, he would have refused Schlieffen's order.
