Sweep the World

The battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and people's ears were not heated roars, but all kinds of miserable howls and wailing.

A blast of drums joined in, and the front row of soldiers of the Han riflemen began to move forward in four stages.

The so-called four-stage propulsion means that after a row of soldiers stand in place to clean the barrels and recharge and reload the bullets, the second row of soldiers who have finished charging and reloading will move forward to replace the slashing position. Fired, row after row rolling forward like a substitute.

The riflemen array line with a length of more than one thousand meters, the gunshots were shot after another, and there was no smoke. The Han army used smokeless gunpowder.

The Persian light cavalry who rushed into the Han Riflemen's course were the Persian light cavalry. They held a scimitar and a small buckler to lower their bodies as much as possible, and the small buckler was blocked in front.

Some lucky Persian light cavalry used small bucklers to block the projectiles from the Han army. They could clearly feel the impact of the projectiles hitting the small bucklers. Fortunately, the small bucklers in their hands could block the guns.

Those Persian light cavalry who were hit by the projectile felt that they had been bitten, and the power of their bodies was dissipating at a very fast speed, they softened their bodies uncontrollably, and then fell from their horsebacks.

More projectiles hit the horse. After all, compared to a knight who leaned down and leaned on the horse and is protected by a small buckler, the body of the horse will be larger. The projectiles are not only directed at people, but at all to block everything. For ballistic targets, larger war horses are naturally more likely to be hit.

In the real battlefield, whether it is a shè arrow or a bullet, it will not fall like a knight on horseback dropping dumplings, but the horse is unscathed. In fact, in a real war, the shè arrow and the shooting are all running. Going with the horse, that is the so-called "people first horse".

The mounts of the Persian hussars were blindfolded and deaf-eared. They charged more than two thousand horses together and charged straight towards the Han rifle array line. At first they were bombarded by the artillery units of the Han army and fell down. After reaching nearly two hundred horses, entering the 400-meter range was covered by the crossbow arrows of the cold weapons on the left and right wings of the Han army.

For a short period of 130 meters, if there are no obstacles, the speed of the cavalry is only a matter of jiǔ seconds. It is just that the Persian cavalry has to face the rows of refusals and the wreckage of the previous chariots. , Not to mention a burst of guns every second or so.

"Arrived!"

In those positions where the Persian light cavalry was going to charge, the rolling four stages stopped, and the riflemen in the front row began to form a "forest of thorns" with flintlocks equipped with bayonets. They had to face at least five or six hundred Persians. The collision of the hussars.

Those riflemen who did not encounter threats, under the restraint of the officers, made a small turn, changed into alternate shots on the spot, and continued to fire on the Persian light cavalry in an inclined manner.

"Stay steady!"

The riflemen who are about to be hit by the Persian light cavalry are not fearless. They have been stressed for a long time. Discipline has been emphasized for a long time. attitude.

The army has never had any ZìYóu to speak of. Some are ZìYóu who kill the individual, and are repeatedly asked to obey, obey, and obey again!

Whether an army is elite or not has never been related to how strong an individual's combat effectiveness is, and it does not rely on individual force. Soldiers have lost their personal "consciousness," and they are ordered to walk firmly even if there is a sea of ​​swords and flames ahead. They are a strong army in the true sense.

"Grenadier!"

In addition to being equipped with a flintlock gun and corresponding gunpowder and projectiles, the riflemen are equipped with five wooden grenade grenades.

They were when the Persian light cavalry rushed about forty meters, and the riflemen in the second row obeyed the order to throw wooden grenade.

One after another, wooden-handled grenades were thrown out, and they triggered a coordinated and dense explosion. The explosions closer to the Persian Hussars directly sent people and horses off.

However, the collision still occurred. The twelve-meter flintlock with a total length of 1.85 meters was not like a six-meter-long spear. The persian light cavalry with good riding skills was able to cross the bay of bayonet forest by controlling their horses. The horrified Han soldiers stepped on the horse with their horses.

The number of Persian hussars who can āo control the horse to jump up high is not many. Most of them crashed into the bayonet forest. The problem is that even if they hit the bayonet, they still broke the twelve rifle, relying on a powerful collision. The kinetic energy hit that area into a depression.

Qin Song didn't feel much about the collision that took place on the battlefield. He knew very well that his own tactics to deal with the cavalry were wrong, and it should be a "hollow formation" to face the cavalry.

But there is no correct tactic on the battlefield. Everything needs to be arranged under the premise of choosing tactics that are allowed under real-time conditions.

The Persians charged not only two thousand light cavalry, but also nearly one thousand archers and nearly ten thousand infantry.

The Han army faced the first light cavalry, then the Persian archer, and finally the Persian infantry. There would not be too much time to change the tactical formation, only to fight hard.

In addition to the Persians launching an assault, there is also a "slowly" Roman legion that is advancing behind. It looks like a large area spread out. The number should be about 3,000?

It was not only the rifle array line that responded to the anti-Han axis coalition forces. The long-range attack troops on the left and right wings had been outputting crossbows and arrows, and the artillery troops at the rear did not stop their attacks.

In addition to long-range fire support, the cavalry on both wings of the Han army also moved. They formed a pincer-shaped double arrow to kill the anti-Han axis coalition forces that launched the charge.

The propelling four-segment rifle array line was stopped for the first time. After a burst of men turned over, all the two thousand Persian light cavalry fell on the battlefield except for the four to five hundred who had retreated halfway through the charge; the Han Riflemen fell on the battlefield. More than 300 people were killed and injured, more than 100 people were killed on the spot, and the rest were mostly severely injured.

The array line of the Han riflemen was not only under collision, but actually faced the arrows of the Persian archers. Fortunately, the left and right wings of the own side were capable of long-range support attacks. Otherwise, the loss would be even greater. About 300 people were damaged in the battle.

After a short pause, the surviving riflemen pushed forward again under the constraints of the officers, still using a rolling platoon gun propulsion method, and the target of the attack was replaced by the enemy on foot.

Less than ten minutes into the war, Liu Shen was moved to the front row. He was standing at the front of the queue, holding a flintlock pistol in his hand, but a dozen people surrounded him in a semicircle. A gesture of defending to the death.

Every time Liu Shen blew the firing whistle, that flintlock pistol would also be pointed forward.

Directly in front of them is the roaring Persian infantry, who looks to be dominated by gray uniforms, but they have horrible armor. The weapons in their hands are also various. After a line of shè, the Persian infantry running forward. It will fall to the ground in pieces.

The Persian archers have been forced to circumvent the left and right wings. If they ignore their left and right wings, the two Han cavalry attacking in a pincer-like posture will "knock their waists" into their offensive troops and attack the troops. Even if they were not stopped by the waist, it would mean that their offensive troops were trapped on three sides. Only by trying to drive away the Han cavalry from the left and right can the offensive continue.

"It's a firearms force!" Erbata was full of iron at this moment: "We have suffered more than 50% of the loss and continue to advance, and the rest will fall on that land forever."

Through the binoculars, you can see that the Persian infantry who launched a charge and approached within 100 meters of the Han riflemen. Some of them fell down at all times, but those who were still alive had a distorted face and continued to charge forward. .

The Persians not only had to face the projectiles and arrows coming all the time, even if they rushed to within 30 meters of the riflemen, what they had to endure was the wooden handle grenade thrown by the Han riflemen, and the result was their own. Three or four thousand people fell, but they could not turn over thirty Han soldiers with their bows and arrows.

"It's really scary!" The expression on Malus's face was tangled, and he was really frightened: "There are firearms near and far, and the kind of explosives nearer have not been seen before."

The Han Empire has been developing throwing weapons for infantry. The earliest was the use of clay pots. As the research progressed, it entered the era of wooden grenade. At the same time, an all-metal "egg" grenade was also developed. Only the wooden grenade is listed.

Technology is the same thing. As long as you open a door, you have an "idea" and there is a research direction. If it is not researched, it is just that the investment is not enough.

Therefore, it can be said that most of the time, it is only ideas that limit the progress of science and technology. As much as the imagination of the human brain is, there will be as many technological products produced. The reason for not appearing is just because the research cost is not enough.

Will choose wooden grenade, of course, metal type grenade is expensive and difficult to make. The cost of manufacturing a metal type grenade is enough to make three wooden grenade, even if the power of the wooden grenade is smaller than the metal grenade, for this kind of weapon that needs to be fully installed and consumes a lot of money, it must be installed in large quantities. Wooden handle grenade, a few metal grenade attached to it.

What Marus was entangled with was that even if the Roman legion formed a tortoise shell formation, the shield could block the projectiles and arrows of the Han army, but could the new type of explosives that have never been seen stop it?

The mystery will soon be revealed. It was the offensive Persian troops who lost more than 70%, and finally they couldn't sustain it anymore. First, the first man turned and fled, and then it formed an effect, and the attack turned into a debacle.

"It's a pity..." Qin Song frowned and looked at the retreating Persian army, and said to the left and right: "The situation does not allow the sending of cavalry to pursue it, otherwise none of them want to escape."

In fact, it is true. If the number of enemy troops is not that many, there is still a large area of ​​enemy troops that have not participated in the war, and a Roman army in formation is approaching. The Han army can really send out cavalry to target the retreat. The Persian soldiers came to rush to exterminate them.

The Roman legion that was advancing, they sounded their trombone after they discovered that the Persians had collapsed.

The Roman legions were not very comfortable when they moved forward. From time to time there would be shells falling in the queue, and at least ten people would fall down each time. If their formation is dense enough, it will not only fall down ten people, but they will advance in the skirmish formation just to reduce losses.

The Persians who were mentally collapsed, they did not wisely retreat to the left and right sides, but turned around and ran without hesitation, which would inevitably have an impact on the advancing Roman legion.

Don't want to be rushed by the rout, or even retreat, the Roman legion can only stop in a bad position and start to form their best tortoise formation.

The so-called tortoise shell formation means that Roman soldiers form a close formation side by side, and then use tower shields to organize a shield wall except for the feet. They swept Europa with this kind of tactics, and any race has no way to use this kind of tactics. Just marching to the east, the tortoise shell formation still has a strong effect, whether it is facing Parthia or Sassan now, it is still an extremely effective tactic.

Now, the Roman legion is facing the Han army, and it is the Han army entering the firearm age.

However, before facing the Han army, the Roman legion that formed the Tortoiseshell Formation had to withstand the collision of the defeated friendly forces.

Under the impact of the rout of Persian troops that was routing like water, the tortoise shells organized by the Romans did not waver at all. Only when shells fired from a distance hit it, it would be a shield **fly** When you smash it, people fall down.

Marus could see the twitching of his cheeks, and couldn't hide his dissatisfaction when he looked at Erbata: "Look at what they are doing!"

Of course Barbata saw ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the Roman soldiers whose shells were blasted away by artillery shells. They were immediately "rolled up" by the broken soldiers. In an instant, the entire tortoise formation broke apart, and the surviving Roman soldiers were forced to Was rolled backwards and retreated.

"The Han army did not charge." Marus just expressed his dissatisfaction. He couldn't do other things. He turned into a disappointed expression: "How can the Han army resist the charge, they should charge."

If the Han army is a cold weapon force, it is indeed necessary to take advantage of the enemy's uprising to launch an assault, collapse the enemy's offensive in one go, and enter the counter-offensive stage.

However, the Zhung Yāng army of the Han army is a rifle soldier, so they will not give up their long-range firepower advantage, rushing to do hand-to-hand things, they are still very stable... or it is rigid and rigid to carry out the push action of rolling platoon guns. .

On the left and right wings, the Han cavalry that was dispatched earlier was chasing or cruising repeatedly with the Persian archers, and the rest of the troops kept parallel to the firearms of the Zhōng Yāng array line.

Marus frowned, and said anxiously, "The Han people are too stable."

Indeed, the Han army did not show the slightest impulse, so the anti-Han axis coalition army really didn't know where to speak.
