Chapter 453: Collapse
For a moment, when the general, who was extremely optimistic and concluded that Rome would win, finished his words.
The consul next to him suddenly felt that this was really such a truth.
Even all of the enemy's weapons maintain maximum killing efficiency.
At best, it means killing hundreds of thousands of people on the way to the charge!
And, most importantly, on the battlefield, where would there be such a high killing efficiency?
The enemy's artillery, the archons have already seen, the killing efficiency is not high, at best, in the end, killing thousands of them!
As for the enemy's kind, weapons that can be held and fire buckshot.
Nor is it possible to take out their army of 50,000 men.
Because of this weapon, their hit rate is not high, at most, they will only kill 20,000 or 30,000 people on their side!
Thinking of this, the consul's face couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
He looked at the general, then opened his mouth to speak.
"Yes, yes, compared to those fools who say that we will be defeated at every turn, what you said is the most important thing, as long as we can withstand enough huge casualties, then, it is impossible for us to be defeated by the enemy!"
"Yes, Archon!"
For a moment, the voice of the archon fell.
The general next to him said again and again.
Then, with a solemn expression on his face, he opened his mouth and said.
"Of course, what I said, these are all theoretical, on the battlefield, there is a high likelihood, there will be all kinds of variables, so we have to be careful......"
For a moment, the moment the general's voice fell.
Variables are really on the battlefield.
Not bad.
As the consul said.
The size of their army is simply too large.
That is to say, even if the opposing Win Changsheng and them, the army under their command, all the weapons, maintain the maximum killing efficiency, it is impossible to kill them all through firepower, and the tactics they use to supervise the battle layer by layer also make it impossible for the soldiers to retreat, they can only risk great danger and keep attacking.
In such a situation.
Just like the consul next to him, the one who was proficient in mathematics and counted out how many casualties they had to pay on the battlefield to win the final victory.
Win Changsheng, also passed the calculation before the war came.
The result of his calculations was:
Even if it's all the time, fire with all your might.
At best, at the beginning of the war, they used long-range firepower to kill less than 100,000 enemies in a short time.
Then, with the remaining more than 200,000 troops, start hand-to-hand combat.
When the time comes, even the soldiers of the Qin army will be prepared with sophisticated weapons.
However, in hand-to-hand combat, they still, impossible to defeat, several times the number of enemies.
After all, these Romans were also brave and good at fighting.
So, after getting this result.
Win Changsheng, in order to prevent the defeat of his side, he gave himself a secret weapon.
That is, through the hot air balloon, throw gasoline, and then, let the enemy's army turn into a sea of fire, and then, even the most stubborn enemy, after the sea of fire appears inside, in the sea of fire, can not continue to move forward.
At this time, above the sky, when the dense, dozens of hot air balloons appeared.
Then, following the air in the sky, when it drifted towards the enemy's army, inside the army, the corners of the mouth of Ying Changsheng, who was supervising the battle, couldn't help but outline a sneer, and above the city, Xiao He and Chen Ping, who were of view, couldn't help but shake their heads, and then opened their mouths to say.
"I'm afraid that this battle will at least, hundreds of thousands of people will have to die......"
"Haha, what is this, it's not our people who died anyway!"
Xiao He's exclamation reached Chen Ping's ears, and the latter couldn't help laughing a few times, and said calmly.
Well, Chen Ping will not pity these Romans.
Hearing this, Xiao He couldn't help but nodded, and he opened his mouth to say.
"Indeed, who let this Rome, who is so alive, have to provoke my Great Qin?"
"Now are you alright?"
"It's time to make them pay!"
For a while, as Xiao He's voice fell, the consuls in the distance and the generals on the side looked at the hot air balloon that suddenly appeared in the sky, they never thought that the enemy would have such a weapon.
And, most importantly, no one knows how this weapon is used.
There's one more thing they don't know.
I don't know how powerful this weapon is, and when I think of this, the consul and the subordinates beside him only feel a headache.
At this moment, with the hot air balloon, it floated into the sky above these Roman soldiers, and immediately, the soldiers on the hot air balloon did not hesitate to throw one small jar after another containing a large amount of gasoline into the air.
These small jars are all made of pottery, and they are extremely thin.
At the moment of falling to the ground.
At the same time as it smashed into the Roman soldiers on the ground, it shattered directly in an instant.
Immediately, when the small jar was thrown down, for a while, a fire broke out on the ground.
At the beginning of the Roman soldiers, there was no shortage of soldiers who were ignited by this gasoline, and they let out one after another screams and screams in a heart-rending manner, which greatly destroyed the soldiers of the Roman soldiers.
At the same time, as the sky began, more and more incendiary canisters were thrown.
For a time, there was a sea of fire on the ground, inside the Roman army.
Originally, the army, which was still moving forward rapidly, also stopped at this time.
The soldiers on fire, desperately rushing through the army, trying to extinguish their own flames.
Faced with such a situation.
The Roman army, as if it was no longer able to support it.
An army of more than 300,000 people, tens of thousands of people fell into the sea of fire.
It stands to reason that tens of thousands of people are nothing to an army of more than 300,000 people.
And it is impossible to make the entire army give a direct collapse.
But the problem is that these tens of thousands of people are distributed everywhere throughout the vast army.
This makes it.
The soldiers in the army, suddenly, order collapsed.
When enough, not all of them collapsed.
Some of the Roman troops, who still had their structure and numbered in the hundreds of thousands, still maintained their courage, and then took steps, gritted their teeth, and rushed towards the enemy in front of them.
At the same time, Ying Changsheng gave an order.
"Artillery ready, all cannons, replace them with shotguns!"
"No!"
As Ying Changsheng's order was passed down, the artillerymen quickly replaced the solid shells in the cannon with shotguns.
After switching to a shotgun.
All the soldiers did not hesitate to use their shotguns to fire at the enemies who were getting closer and closer.
For a time, under the attack of shotguns.
