Since its debut in West Africa more than a year ago, the Austrian army's rocket launchers have undergone another round of updates and improvements. The Imperial War Department and the military learned the lessons of real combat experience.

In the summary report submitted by the personnel concerned and the Friedrich weapons evaluation log, it is clear that the weapon's five-kilometer range is of little importance to the land battlefield.

And the hit rate of the battle on the sea is too poor, so instead of sacrificing power to increase the attack range, it is better to give full play to the three characteristics of short, flat, and fast.

Thanks to the designers' efforts, the range of the new rocket has been reduced to just one kilometer, but its power has been nearly doubled and the launch speed has become faster. Surprisingly, the cost of the new version has not changed much.

Just before Friedrich, as commander-in-chief, ordered all Austrian rockets to be aimed at the troops of the Princely State of Vanna, both the local natives and Lanfang thought that this move meant that the Dutch army had come to ask for benefits again.

The king of Wannatu even judged that the Dutch army led by Captain Aryan Punhe intended to destroy Lan Fang in one fell swoop. After all, the former has long had this intention, as long as all the Chinese upper class forces are eliminated, then millions of middle and lower Chinese will all become his slaves.

After he destroyed the Chinese company, his next target was the sinister and cunning British, and then he drove the Dutch away and ruled the world.

In the eyes of this "careerist", the Dutch had the strongest strength, but fortunately, their homeland was thousands of miles away, and they were more greedy, so it was easy to be bought.

Although the British have some industries in North Borneo, they are weak due to their small numbers, but because of their terrain restrictions, they are beyond the reach of the Tuwang.

The head of the East Valuare City.

When he saw the Western-style army that was not far away, Gu Liubo couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and the big knife in his hand, which was already full of gaps, almost fell to the ground.

"Gu Liu, did you invite those foreigners?" Xie Guifang said slowly, at this time, he was over the age and didn't want to meddle in the company's affairs anymore, but at this difficult moment, he resolutely took the children of his family to help defend the city.

Xie Guifang was born in Wuju, he is good at making a pair of iron galls, and he can open a bow with three burdens, and he should have become the general system of Lanfang, but first, he has a great friendship with Liu Taier, and second, he himself has no intention.

(Xie Guifang is the general system of Lanfang after Gu Liubo, but he is old and weak, and the situation is declining, so it didn't take long for him to go west.) ）

"It's not me, Liu Taier spent 200,000 taels of silver back then, but he only invited 200 Dutch soldiers to help, and now I'm afraid there are thousands of Dutch soldiers. Don't say that it is a thief, even if it is under the East Wanlu, it is not known. ”

At that time, no Chinese company in Borneo had won against the Dutch except for the Dagang Company. But it was also a victory achieved by ambushing the Netherlands at great cost on the premise of knowing that the Netherlands had an intelligence advantage.

During the second period of Liu Tai, the most cowardly company of Lanfang, eleven Dutch soldiers with a translator dared to collect poll tax at Lanfang's headquarters.

(Liu Taier was the general system of Lanfang before Gu Liubo, and it was during his reign that Lanfang began to decline rapidly.) One theory says that he was innocent and had signed a treaty of sale simply because he had been deceived, but he was so trustworthy that he became a Dutch semi-colony.

Another theory is that his strength was unstable in the early days of his power, and he led the wolf into the house in order to control the situation. ）

"Gu Liu, if you say that, it is not known whether the person who came is an enemy or a friend." Xie Guifang sighed, he still remembered how beautiful Lanfang Company was when he was young, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a dynasty of all countries.

"Yes, Shebber. I'm afraid that this is Dagang, or Sangou invited to destroy us. It is also possible that the remnants of the Heaven and Earth Society of Heshun Company. ”

Gu Liubo's words resonated with Xie Guifang, and the atmosphere became tense again.

On the battlefield.

When the muzzle of Austria's guns turned to the Wannatu, the king of Wannatu, Nur Aziz, sneered.

"Do these guys think we don't have cannons? Show them all out and let them see it! ”

Six earthen cannons improvised by the Dutch were pushed up, which cost Nur Aziz 1,000 pounds of gold in exchange.

Although these six earthen cannons have a low technology content, they seem to be much more powerful and domineering than the Austrians' rocket launchers, at least they look very stocky.

Friedrich on the other end couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, put down his binoculars and said to Franz next to him, "It seems that this battle is not as easy as we imagined." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Due to the haste of the incident, only 1,000 Austrian marines and 50 members of the Chenla Cathar came with the expedition fleet, and the main force was still on the seashore.

"The other side is armed with artillery. Although it is only an outdated old earthen cannon, it may cause some casualties to our side. ”

Franz breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is no need to worry about a few earthen cannons that can't change the tide of the battle. ”

"Haha, I thought you were still as reluctant to kill as you were in West Africa! In that case, let's let them see our big gift first. ”

"That's a rocket!" Franz corrected.

"It's all the same, it's all flying into the sky anyway, will it blow up?"

With Friedrich's order, 20 rocket launchers continued to fly towards the artillery positions of the Vannatu King at a rate of 6 rounds per minute.

These new anti-infantry rodless spin rockets are equipped with a large number of steel balls to increase their power. When it explodes, hundreds of small steel balls are scattered in all directions. They have a maximum kill range of about 50 yards, while in reality their effective kill range is 18 yards.

Every minute, the soldiers will be subjected to 120 rounds of these anti-infantry rockets, which can be imagined as lethal as the opponent's dense formation.

The first to assemble were the enemy's elite - that is, foreign guns and artillery. And these unprepared natives wore little armor.

In the face of the steel balls that exploded in all directions at high speed, even the most agile and agile native soldiers could not avoid them all. Even if there really was a god warrior, it would be impossible for him to be immune to hundreds of barrage attacks.

Some of the indigenous soldiers tried in vain to stop the imps who were blasting with the explosion, but it ended in a terrible price for their fingers and skins.

All they left was a bloody hole where they stood.

There were a few people on the ground who were squirming with great vitality, but as more Celestial Death exploded around, this last struggle soon stopped.

Under this saturation blow, soon there was no sign of any living person on the ground, except for a patch of crimson corpses.

It was like the end of the world, as if an ancient beast had just feasted on it.

Sadly and ridiculously, despite such a horrific firefight, the native army did not choose to flee, but stood like nails in place and was then harvested in patches.

So much so that after five minutes the Austrian rocket forces had to stop the fire attack so that the launchers would not be damaged by prolonged and intensive use.

As the smoke cleared from the opposite side, Franz used his telescope to observe that the other side had suffered heavy losses, but did not seem to show signs of collapse.

This puzzled him, and according to the common sense of war, the morale of this primitive army, which had not even reached feudalism, was lost when more than 5% of the troops were killed.

But the tragic situation of the corpses in one place didn't seem to frighten the other party, could it be that they still have backup?

West Borneo is home to more than 2 million indigenous people, so it is not impossible to organize 100,000 to 200,000 soldiers at once.

It seems that the weapons and troops brought by his own operation this time are a little too thin, and he should have let his elite dragoon regiment come to help in the battle.

However, due to the complex terrain and climate of the tropics, which were very unsuitable for temperate cavalry combat, only a group of marines and a small group of hunters could come in handy.

While Franz was thinking, Friedrich had already ordered the Austrian soldiers to line up and prepare to meet the enemy.

They were all equipped with the latest breech-loading rifled guns, but unfortunately the time was too short to dig trenches, otherwise he would really want to test the new tactics.

Just when the officers on the Austrian side were in full swing to arrange their troops, a heart-rending howl suddenly sounded on the calm battlefield, coupled with the red-dyed earth, it was simply a picture of the Shura field.

The few natives who survived fled desperately back into the forest, and perhaps only the mountain gods could save them from the horrific killing.

Shields, weapons, and armor were scattered all over the place, and everyone had only one goal: to escape. Even if it is a brother or a father and son who stand in front of him, anyone who dares to stand in the way will be slashed and killed.

Nur Aziz's father, Rol Aziz, has been described as a dog of the Tang people, because he only relies on the power of the Tang people to fight for some land that others don't want, or to take in some garbage that other tribes don't want. (People with disabilities, or emaciated)

Nur Aziz took over the reins of the tribe at the age of sixteen and then began his brutal path to power. He first killed seven of his siblings, and then began a bloody conquest that lasted for twenty years.

After decades of foreign wars, the population and territory of the princely state of Vanna have more than doubled, and with the support of the Dutch, it can be said that he is only one step away from the success of his dreams.

But this one-sided battle took away all of Nur Aziz's ambitions and his soul. He didn't run into the jungle as fast as the rest of the tribe, or knock down and trample his companions.

But when a pretentious ruler loses his ambition to conquer the world, he is no different from his subordinates who are bent on fleeing for their lives.
