Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Facing the full-scale attack of the Kopuyali people, the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao was naturally under great pressure.  ````

    After all, although the Kopuyali army has suffered more than 70% casualties, there are still more than 30,000 troops left for fighting.

    Fortunately, the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao are all veterans who have experienced the test of war in Europe.  They have rich combat experience, so even when faced with the attack of the Kopuyali people, they did not panic at all.

    Hold on!

    Load ammo!

    The Imperial Army Phalanx was like a hedgehog, ready to face the Kopuyali army coming from a tidal wave of attacks, and everyone's expressions on their faces were very calm.

    The performance of Imperial Army soldiers is completely different from that of other countries¡¯ armies.

    You must know that in a war in this era, even the most elite and iron-blooded army will feel nervous when facing an enemy attack.

    Because this is human nature and a very normal physiological phenomenon and reaction.

    "But you can't see anything like this on the faces of the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

    This has to be surprising.

    However, it¡¯s not surprising when you think about the Imperial Army¡¯s ¡®weirdness¡¯ and confidence.

    Yes, the weapons used by Imperial Army soldiers have surpassed the weapons of other countries in the same era by a century.  With unparalleled advantages, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army have been tested by war, they are definitely not rookies.

    What¡¯s more important is that most of the soldiers in the Imperial Army are not genetically gifted with independent command thinking.  They are some genetic people who can only follow orders and have a somewhat dull mind.

    Because genetic people like this do not have independent thinking and thinking patterns, they can only serve as top soldiers in the army, or manage public security and maintain order in American cities.

    However, this type of genetic person has an advantage.  That is, they can carry out orders very strictly. No matter how weird and unreliable the order is, they will continue to carry it out desperately.

    At the same time, people with this type of gene also have an advantage, that is, they are not afraid of death when fighting, as if they don't know what pain is.

    Think about it, what would be the result of fighting an army where most of the soldiers are like undead.

    Needless to say, it will definitely turn into a tragedy for anyone who confronts this kind of army.

    When it comes to being brave and fearless of death, the Imperial Army is definitely unique.

    Because it can strictly follow training and orders, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army can be maintained very high.

    Those ¡®dumb¡¯ people with genes who have not yet developed independent thinking and thinking patterns can follow the training very quickly and mechanically.  Reload quickly and shoot.

    " Also because they are genetic people of this type, let alone a mere 30,000 enemies attacking, even if it is ten times more than this, they will still be unafraid.

    ¡°Existences like the Imperial Army are probably unique in this era.

    Only Zhao Hongyu, who came to this era with a plug-in, can have such a weird army with a plug-in.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Kopuyali people who are now launching a "brave" charge don't know, and even if they know this, they can't change anything in the current situation.

    rush!

    Go!

    Kill me hard!

    The junior officers of the Kopuyali people.  They took the lead and led the small teams under their control to rush over, and they kept shouting to cheer up their soldiers.

    Unfortunately, they never know that sometimes in war, the enemy has many technological advantages over you.  An approach like this has no effect at all.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  They also failed to defeat the 'pirate' army with only a few hundred people.

    On the contrary, the Boers, who had tens of thousands of troops, were defeated by the 'pirate' army.

    This is a very obvious practical example.

    And the weapons used by the 'pirate' army at that time.  Basically, there is no difference in technology from the weapons used by the Imperial Army soldiers led by Zhang Xiao today.

    Furthermore, Zhang Xiao¡¯s military strength was greater than that of the ¡®Naval Sea¡¯ in the Boer War.The number of the pirate army that stole' was several times greater.

    Therefore, Zhang Xiao and the officers of the Imperial Army certainly have the confidence and confidence to withstand the Kopuyali attack.

    After all, there is a difference of the times. This is a very huge gap that cannot be crossed by just wanting to cross it.

    Moreover, there is no need to elaborate on the obvious advantages of hot weapons over cold weapons.

    Two hundred yards!

    Shoot!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom!

    The acrid smoke of gunpowder rose up, forming a white smoke screen in front of the Imperial Army's phalanx.

    With the sound of gunfire, the Kopuyali people holding machetes in front of them were knocked down row by row like straw, and almost no one was spared.

    The phalanx composed of four thousand Imperial Army troops has almost three hundred soldiers on each side.

    In other words, for every volley fired by the Imperial Army, the charging Kopuyali people had to face more than 300 rounds of lead bullets.

    That¡¯s not all!

    The Imperial Army¡¯s tactics are five-stage shooting. Basically, five-stage shooting can achieve a speed of about one and a half rounds in one minute.

    If calculated at this speed, the Kopuyali people would have to face seven rounds of volleys.

    This is still only a distance of two hundred yards. They have to face heavy casualties before they can take a step forward.

    And fighting in the era of cold weapons, there is a very wonderful rule.

    That is, when launching a charge, once the attack is frustrated, the leading troops of the charge will pause or retreat slightly.

    There is no way to change this.

    After all, the army is made up of people, and it faces such heavy casualties.  And watching the comrades around him fall down and moan in pain, basically no one can remain indifferent.

    This has a great impact on a person.

    And under the seven rounds of volley fire from the Imperial Army, although they could not kill all of them, they could achieve a mortality rate of more than 30%, and the rest were minor and serious injuries.

    In this era, wounded by musket lead bullets.  It's basically the same as dying.

    ¡° Moreover, after lead bullets hit the human body, the wounds caused are also very terrible.

    Did you not see that after Europe in another time and space used muskets to fight, a large number of the unlucky people who were injured by lead bullets died of complications from inflammation.

    Even those who survived were missing arms and legs.

    One hundred and ninety yards!

    One hundred and eighty-five yards!

    In a short distance of five yards, at least six or seven hundred Kopuyali people fell.

    The Kopuyali soldiers at the front of the charge had lost the courage to continue advancing, and many began to turn around and run to the rear.

    But these guys running back.  It didn't end well either.

    They often didn¡¯t take a few steps before they were knocked to the ground by another shot from the Imperial Army on the opposite side, or hacked to death by their own officers.

    "No retreat! Come on, charge forward!"

    A war supervisor hacked to death a soldier who was running back, and then looked around with a ferocious expression, shocking the frightened and uneasy soldiers.

    Under the glance of the war supervisor, the soldiers had no choice but to obediently continue to rush forward.

    For the Kopuyali people, when they reach this point, they really have no other choice but to rush forward.

    The Bukuts launched an attack on the other side, and on this side they also had to face the Imperial Army.

    so.  Only by defeating the enemy on one side can they turn the tide of the battle.

    In the eyes of the Kopuyali people, the Imperial Army, whose military strength is at a disadvantage, is obviously easy to bully.

    After all, although the Bukut people suffered heavy losses.  But there are still more than 10,000 soldiers available.  Therefore, it is safest to choose the Imperial Army with a smaller proportion to fight.

    And this consideration is certainly not wrong, but the commander of the Kopuyali people never expected the fighting style and weapons of the Imperial Army and the combat effectiveness it showed.  That was beyond his imagination.

    This was something completely beyond his expectation, and based on his knowledge, he could not imagine these things.

    Because he has to think.  It was in the early seventeenth century, that is, in this era.

    Therefore, the Kopuyali people's offense still follows the pattern of this era.  Even when facing the Imperial Army,When fighting the phalanx, they also used dense crowd charges in an attempt to overwhelm the Imperial Army phalanx in this way.

    "It's a pity that the Kopuyali commander's plan came to nothing after facing the imperial army phalanx.

    Because although the Imperial Army Phalanx was not invented by Zhao Hongyu, its effectiveness is a formation that has passed the test of the times.

    In another time and space, this formation was popular in Europe for a century, and gained more brilliance in the hands of Napoleon.

    This kind of phalanx can not only fight against infantry, but also can specifically fight against cavalry attacks, and can cause great damage.

    Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu created the Imperial Army, he adopted such a square formation considering the performance of its weapons.

    After all, in this era, although wars are fought with cold weapons.

    However, Zhao Hongyu felt that it was necessary to be on guard against cavalry, a type of ¡®tank¡¯ in the cold weapon age.

    So, this kind of phalanx, which became popular in another time and space more than a century later, appeared in this time and space and became a battle formation of the Imperial Army.

    Moreover, this kind of battle formation did help the Imperial Army resist powerful enemies, and it also helped the Imperial Army's troops achieve great results and a series of victories.

    In this situation, how could the Kopuyali people not be tragic (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
