    Go!

    Come on, don't stop!

    In the charging ranks of the Kyushu Allied Forces, the middle and lower-ranking generals waved their weapons and kept shouting loudly to encourage the soldiers around them.

    The short distance of two hundred meters was like traveling through hell for them.  The flesh and blood flying everywhere, the broken limbs and arms all over the sky, the painful wails of their companions, and the blood-colored mist filling the air will give them the illusion of being in hell.

    "However, they are just ants like grasshoppers. They dare not disobey the orders of those high-ranking lords.

    Therefore, if they want to survive, they can only bite the bullet and move forward to defeat the enemies on the opposite side.

    Only in this way can they survive.

    After all, if they retreat like this, the harsh military laws will kill them.

    Fortunately, there are not many enemies on the opposite side, and even the soldiers at the bottom know this very well.

    This is like giving them a lot of hope.

    At the same time, these Kyushu soldiers also knew that their side's military strength had too many advantages over their opponent's.

    They charged together this time, at least more than 100,000 people.

    Therefore, as long as you rush to the enemy's line on the opposite side, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy not to be defeated.

    Although many people will die on the way to attack, more people can successfully rush to the enemy's side, right?

    As for the unlucky ones who died, it was just their bad luck.

    On the battlefield, luck often matters.

    The above is what many Kyushu soldiers are really thinking in their hearts at this time.

    In fact, they have no idea what kind of existence the enemy they face is.

    Now they are still 900 meters away from the enemy's position.

    Although this distance does not seem very long.  But even this short distance would cause them heavy losses.

    There are many things that the Japanese soldiers who were still in the cold weapon era could not imagine.

    After all, there is a huge generation gap and a huge gap in knowledge between the two sides.

    Go!

    At this time, the artillery team behind Zhao Hongyu had fired three rounds.

    He has been calculating in his heart.

    Because although the artillery under his command is very powerful, it has a shortcoming.

    That was after firing six shots.  It must cool down for a period of time before bombardment can continue.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If shelled more than six times in succession, it will give a great chance of the cannon bore being exploded and damaged.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu does not want to let himself suffer such a loss.

    Fortunately, he is not without backup options.

    It¡¯s just that now is not the time to use this backhand.

    In the fourth round of shelling, the Kyushu soldiers had broken into a distance of 750 meters, leaving corpses on the ground.

    but.  The morale of these guys was still very high. The soldiers' faces were distorted and they shouted slogans and continued to charge.

    Of course, there are also some soldiers.  Already driven insane by this brutal charge and scene.

    Some Kyushu soldiers stopped charging, laughed with strange expressions on their faces, and scurried back and forth among the charging ranks on the battlefield.  At the same time, he kept mumbling something.

    Some people were knocked to the ground, and then the charging soldiers would step on their bodies and continue moving forward.  Until the unfortunate guy was trampled to death, no one paid any attention to his life or death in the process.

    "More people who were frightened crazy by the brutal battle were killed on the spot by some generals to prevent them from affecting the morale of the army.

    From the distance of 900 meters to 750 meters, the Kyushu Allied Forces once again lost more than 7,000 lives, at the cost of breaking into a distance of 150 meters.

    At this point, the Kyushu Allied Forces had already sacrificed 20,000 lives under the four rounds of artillery bombardment by Zhao Hongyu's side.

    Such losses are not unbearable.

    "Moreover, the Kyushu Allied Forces have not yet reached Zhao Hongyu's position. They are still 750 meters away from Zhao Hongyu's position.

    God knows how much they have to pay and how many soldiers' lives they have to pay before they can rush to Zhao Hongyu's position.

    However, these issues are not something Fujita and the others need to consider.It¡¯s not that they can¡¯t accept the price of killing some soldiers.

    As long as they can defeat Zhao Hongyu and the others in the end, then all this is acceptable.

    And according to their current view, the offensive momentum is pretty good.

    Although the enemy used artillery at first, it surprised them.

    But now they realize that artillery is nothing special.

    Because the charge of the army continued, the momentum did not stop because of the enemy's shelling.

    Although the enemy's artillery caused a lot of casualties to the charging coalition soldiers.

    "But these casualties can still be endured by the thirteen famous families.

    Therefore, the old gods of Fujita High School and the other twelve daimyo who stayed here were gradually fading away from the fear and worry on their faces when the enemy used artillery.

    "What they didn't expect was that because they didn't have a telescope, they had no way of detecting the charging coalition forces, because of how serious the enemy's artillery losses were.

    If they could clearly observe the situation on the battlefield, they probably wouldn't be so calm at this moment.

    You know, when the charging army first started, there were almost 130,000 people.

    "But after Zhao Hongyu's four rounds of artillery bombardment, the number of troops still charging was only a little over 100,000.

    In other words, in this short period of time, the Kyushu Allied Forces have lost more than 20,000 or almost 30,000 soldiers. This is a very terrifying figure.

    "Sir, the momentum of the charge is very good now. At the current speed, the army will be able to charge forward in a while. As long as they can charge forward, it will be difficult for these enemies not to fail."

    Beside Fujita High School sophomore, the daimyo from Fukuoka had a smile on his face and complimented him.

    Fujita High School sophomore also smiled and said a few words of modesty, but the look on his face could not hide the joy in his heart.

    Yes, as long as the army can rush forward.  Then even if these enemies resist, they are doomed to fail.

    An army of more than 100,000 people cannot resist the opponent's army of less than 10,000 people.

    "Hold still, lower the muzzle, load gunpowder, shells! Fire!"

    Because the enemy is getting closer and closer, the artillery team behind the army must lower its muzzle.

    Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu and the others took this situation into consideration, so when making the wooden gun mount, they made a gun mount that could move slightly.

    The fifth round of shelling began.  More than two hundred artillery pieces made a thunderous sound again, and shells were shot out of the barrels and landed on the heads of the charging Kyushu Allied soldiers.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The bombs exploded continuously, some of them exploded on the heads of the Kyushu soldiers, and some of them exploded after they landed on the ground.

    But no matter how the explosive bomb exploded, it only brought death and an invitation from hell to the Kyushu soldiers.

    ??If a guy can die on the spot, he is actually very lucky.

    Those unlucky guys were seriously injured by the explosive bombs, and in the end they could only fall to the ground and writhe uncontrollably.  Or praying loudly for companions to help them.

    "It's a pity that these people, the charging Kyushu soldiers, have no time to pay attention to them.

    finally.  They could only stay where they were, bleeding and waiting for their final fate to come.

    If they are lucky, they may get some medical treatment after the battle.  But the problem is that even if the Kyushu Allied Forces really defeated Zhao Hongyu and came back to treat them, the injuries caused by such shells would still be serious.  It's not like the medical level possessed by the Japanese can cure the disease.

    After all, the treatment level of the Japanese in this era was still very low, and they did not have effective anti-inflammatory drugs in their hands.

    therefore.  In the end, these seriously injured soldiers still could not escape the invitation of death.

    So, the luck of the injured guys is far worse than those of the guys who died on the spot.

    Only those guys who were killed by explosive bombs on the spot were the luckiest.

    Because they left the world without knowing anything.

    They don¡¯t have to be tortured, and they don¡¯t have to die slowly in pain.

    So, how could they not be considered lucky?

    Whether it is ancient or modern wars, warsThe wounded on the battlefield are the ones suffering the most.

    Sometimes, even if they are rescued, they are not happy.

    Since the emergence of mankind, wars have continued to break out in the human world.

    Therefore, it can be seen that there is probably a cruel factor in the human body.  It¡¯s just that no one wants to admit it.

    Strictly speaking, human beings are all hypocrites.

    After the fifth round of shelling, the momentum of the Kyushu Allied Forces charge slowed down.

    At this time, they were still only 580 meters away from Zhao Hongyu's position.

    And the strength of the Kyushu Allied Forces has also been reduced to less than 100,000 people.

    Most of the Kyushu soldiers fell on the charging road and lost their lives.

    But there are also many Kyushu soldiers, who are crying in pain and asking for help on the battlefield.

    The lush green grass of Maitreya Plain is occupied by some irregular human bodies.

    "Your Highness, the enemy still has a lot of troops at this time. If they rush up, it will be very detrimental to us." At this time, Tokugawa Kayo came over and said to Zhao Hongyu with a serious face.

    And as the Nine Provinces Allied Forces got closer and closer to the people around Zhao Hongyu, the expressions on their faces became solemn.

    The Mohawk guards behind Emma were injured with hand axes and machetes, looking at the enemy more than 500 meters away with serious expressions.

    The European guards behind Sara also silently lowered the masks on their helmets, and at the same time drew out their cross swords and kissed the blade.

    Riverside Yuuji couldn¡¯t stop shouting slogans loudly to the Japanese soldiers under his command, trying his best to let the Japanese soldiers not be afraid and believe that victory must belong to their own side in the end.

    The genetic soldiers had their bayonets fixed and loaded with gunpowder and lead bullets.

    The expressions of the gene-human generals who commanded the gene-human soldiers also became solemn.

    "Load gunpowder, shells! Fire!"

    Boom!  Boom boom!

    The sixth round of shelling began.

    Zhao Hongyu squinted his eyes because he knew that after this round of shelling, the artillery would need to cool down for a period of time before it could be used.

    The enemy will definitely take advantage of this gap and rush up quickly.

    As long as they cannot withstand it, they will be swallowed up by a large number of enemies.

    Now it¡¯s time to test the genetic soldiers.

    The three hundred European soldiers behind Zhao Hongyu gasped and became more and more excited as they watched the Kyushu Allied Forces getting closer and closer.

    For them, those are the ¡®NPCs¡¯ needed for experience and level up.

    It¡¯s just that they haven¡¯t received the order yet, so they can¡¯t attack.

    "As for Zhao Hongyu's subordinates, who else can maintain such an excited state in front of so many enemies? The only ones are these brainwashed European slave cavalry.

    The rest are the low-level genetic soldiers who have no emotions and have stereotyped expressions on their faces.

    Soon, the sixth round of shelling ended.

    And the Kyushu Allied Forces had already rushed to a distance of 300 meters at this time.

    At this distance, Zhao Hongyu and the others can even see the enemy's expressions very clearly.

    It only takes a while to reach this short distance of three hundred meters.

    Now the Kyushu Allied Forces seem to have seen the hope of victory, and their expressions have become even more twisted and weird.

    kill!

    Under the leadership of the generals, and with victory in sight, the charging Kyushu soldiers once again burst out with strong fighting spirit.

    However, no one of them looked back at this time. If anyone did, their hearts would probably be cold.

    Because behind them, many of their companions fell densely, and at first glance it seemed as if they had covered the entire Maitreya Plain with their human bodies.

    Such a scene can definitely make people¡¯s scalp numb.

    The charging Kyushu soldiers did not know this situation at all, but Fujita High School and the others in the main formation of the Kyushu Army saw it.

    At this moment, the faces of Fujita, a second-year high school student, and the faces of the twelve famous families no longer had the calmness and calmness they had just now.

    Shock and fear appeared on everyone's faces, and some even opened their mouths and couldn't close them for a long time.

    What is going on?

    Could it be that IHave you reached the Shura field in hell?

    Are those people who fell on the grass our soldiers who were charging just now?

    You see, many people are already motionless.

    "Look, there are many people covered in blood over there, struggling to raise their hands and call for help.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    It was just a charge, how could it turn into this?

    Such thoughts came to the minds of Fujita High School sophomore and the twelve daimyo involuntarily.

    They simply couldn¡¯t believe what they were seeing.

    But fortunately, although the heavy losses are unacceptable, the army has already charged after all, right?

    Yeah that's right.

    As long as you can charge forward, victory still belongs to you.

    Fujita High School sophomore couldn't help but said to himself in his heart.

    Then, he set his sights on the opposite side.

    However, he soon suffered a ruthless blow from reality (To be continued)
