The Sun Never Sets In Spain

This few shots from six kilometers away scared many people, and the other party couldn't help speeding up their pace.

Carlos has nothing but horses. The six horses are connected by ropes. He is pulling hundreds of kilograms of field guns with wheels behind him. He can even trot and move forward very fast.

But no matter how fast it was, the distance of a few kilometers would not be so easy to pass. At the beginning, it was only a heavy artillery attack. As the army advanced, the smaller 20-pounder artillery also joined the attack queue.

Since the solid projectile has a longer range, and has a better killing effect on the crowds that are advancing, it can be seen that there are many big iron **** bouncing and rolling on the battlefield.

With the artillery technology of the Second Division, the rate of fire of Armstrong's heavy artillery is about one round per minute, and the field gun can achieve three rounds in two minutes.

The rate of fire is not slow, the lethality is not low, but the damage caused is not satisfactory.

The distance is too far, and Carlos's army has adopted a dispersed formation. It is completely inaccurate. It is lucky to be able to hit people. Don't expect to be able to target the enemy's artillery at all.

"Let them speed up!" Manuel, commander of the Carlos Central Army, stood on a **** in the middle and back of the main unit, holding a telescope to carefully observe every move on the front line.

In this operation, the Central Army and the Northern Army were combined. He was the commander-in-chief, and the Northern Army Commander Alfred was his deputy. The two of them commanded the attack in two directions.

At the age of only 40, he could command an army of nearly 100,000. It was just when he was full of ambitions. Manuel decided that in order to annihilate the 13,000 people in the Second Division, he could pay double the price.

People are worthless, they have recently taken control of the northern provinces, as long as they have money, no matter how many people can get them out.

The most important thing is to get the weapons and equipment in the barracks to annihilate the vital forces of Catalonia.

"It's not bad. The losses are within the estimated range. It feels really uncomfortable to be passively beaten. In about 5 minutes, we will be able to fight back." A teacher breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Yeah." Manuel nodded: "As the order goes on, they have a lot of Gatling in their hands. After the artillery is deployed, the enemy's artillery points and machine gun points are given priority.

Gatling's firepower is very strong, but he can't hit far away. The infantry should not rush to charge, line up in an array of skirmishers, and keep it under control at a long distance.

The cavalry is on standby at any time, and will cut in after I order..."

Orders were laid out in an orderly manner. The quality of Carlos' soldiers was worrying, but the officers were all aristocrats, and their military literacy was quite good.

Manuel, who graduated from Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, is one of the best, otherwise Carlos would not rest assured to hand over the army to him.

He is very clear about Gatling's characteristics, not equipped doesn't mean he doesn't understand.

This is the European battlefield. It is not easy to count on a slaughter record.

At this time, on the front battlefield, the Carlos Artillery, who was walking at the forefront, had already approached the position of the barracks 1 kilometer.

They searched for the soil **** nearby and launched a confrontation with the Second Division.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom"

For a time, the battlefield was filled with smoke and the sound of guns thundered.

The solid bullets used on both sides are relatively difficult to break people into pieces, but as long as they are hit head-on, they will break people into two pieces.

Even if you just touch the iron ball that is still rolling, it will be bloody, and you will die or be disabled.

"Good boy! Jumped 3 times!"

"Hahaha, look at that iron ball has turned red!

The artillery of the Second Division was dispatched in several rows and fired in sequence to ensure fire coverage at all times.

Because the rolling damage of a solid bullet is not as high as the impact damage from the sky, the artillery will deliberately lower the muzzle angle and adopt a "ricochet" attack similar to a water-floating bomb.

Whenever someone hits the water quickly and well, and jumps several times, the comrades will praise him.

"Boom boom boom"

Time passed by the sound of the explosion.

The artillery quality of both sides is relatively bad, but Carlos's is relatively bad, and the quantity and quality are also weaker than that of the second division.

Not to mention that the barracks also occupies high places in the nearby terrain, with simple bunkers.

Soon, Carlos' artillery could no longer support it.

Affected by the smoke, Manuel's telescope was useless, but he still had a messenger.

Hearing the news, even though he had expected it, he still scolded in his heart.

The extreme disadvantage of the artillery means that one's own side should take the lead in the charge. Everyone knows what the result will be when carrying the enemy's line on the charge.

"The order continues, the front moves forward 200 yards, the sharpshooter battalion closes to the sniper position, and the enemy Gatlin will set fire as soon as he shows his head!"

The sharpshooter camp is Manuel's personal proud work. He carefully selected the most accurate soldiers in the army and equipped them with Enfield M1861 rifles that were different from other soldiers.

The farthest range of the M1861 rifle can reach close to 900 meters, and the accuracy is quite good. Manuel has high hopes for them.

"In addition, the cavalry moved forward to the left flank and reconfirmed the condition of the grenade equipment."

In the 17th century, European "grenadiers" with grenades as the main weapon appeared, used to defend castles and fortresses, but after the time came to the 19th century, with the development of guns, this kind of weapon with too short attack distance has been Not taken seriously.

It was under Manuel's suggestion that Carlos' army regained this weapon.

In the past, he had never supported Carlos's army to develop cavalry, but his arms couldn't stretch his thighs, so he could only let him go.

So, how to make good use of the mobility of the cavalry and increase the destructive power of the cavalry after getting close is Manuel's thinking.

In this way, he distributed a grenade to the cavalry.

It's not that he doesn't want to allocate more points, mainly because it has not been tested on the battlefield. Carlos sent others to be skeptical of this dangerous, unstable, and "high cost" disposable weapon. They are afraid of causing chain explosions to reimburse them and finally accumulate The cavalry unit that got up, only allowed him to bring one to try the water.

Following Manuel’s orders, the infantry line and some artillery moved a certain distance forward.

Assania, the commander of the Second Division, noticed this change. He burst into laughter and said, "The rats finally couldn't help it!"

Gatling fired, the infantry covered! "

"Papa Papa Papa"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom"

The sound of gunfire was mixed with the sound of machine guns, and in an instant, countless bullets poured out.

The infantry who moved a little forward immediately paid a heavy price. Even if a very loose line of skirmishers was maintained, in front of Gatling's powerful firepower, there were still large areas of death and injury, and the ground was stained red with blood.

At this time, the sharpshooters who had been idle started to work. They didn't fight anywhere, they just played Gatling.

Although they are not real snipers, they are always attacking in a row and there will always be people hitting the Grand Canal. Under their and the artillery's targeting, the machine gunners have suffered a lot of casualties.

The Second Division immediately organized infantry to fight back, but it was obviously not a good idea to change one for one, one for two, or even one for three in the face of a much larger number of enemy troops.

"Damn it." Deputy Commander Torah was furious.

"Let the naked Gatlin take down, hurry up!" Assania drank.

The Gatling ceasefire that came with the Second Division, only the defensive Gatling originally deployed in the barracks still vented firepower.

Because of the protection of the shooting window, the sharpshooter camp immediately had no choice but to take them.

At this moment, the Carlos cavalry moved.
