Chapter 722 Using Cameras on the Battlefield
This is Chu Yun's rare visit to the front line in recent years.Compared with the emperors of Europe, the rulers of the East were often restrained and seldom went out in person.Every time you want to go on a personal conquest, either your own strength is very strong and you want to show your majesty, or it's the time of life and death.

The battle line formed by more than 2 soldiers is very long, and the phalanx in the middle is as long as two miles.

"Fire!" The gunner had already pushed the cannon to a range sufficient to cover the opponent's front row.

More than 20 artillery guns began to roar, and the solid bullets shot straight at the musketeers in the front row at a very small angle, instantly piercing through the three rows in front of the opponent!

The solid bullet remained undiminished, bounced on the ground, and fell into the rear line, causing more than a dozen Siamese soldiers to be killed!

There is also a dense formation on the opposite side, and the formation is even denser.They have only a small number of musketeers, and behind the musketeers are dense archers and shield soldiers.

Dozens of hundreds of casualties are nothing to tens of thousands of people, but the artillery that fell into their formation caused a lot of panic!

Originally escaped from Ayutthaya and led Qin Wang's army, the king of Siam Basai Tong was in the middle army. When he saw the menacing Kyushu army, he panicked.The Kyushu Army was a powerful army that defeated his capital. Although there was no help from the fleet, the Kyushu Army's army was extremely powerful, and he knew how low his winning rate was.But he also had to bite the bullet and fight with the Kyushu Army. He had already lost half of Siam, and he had no face to meet his ancestors.

The Kyushu Army has 20000 muskets, which are still advanced Dreiser rifles, which can be produced on an assembly line. There are tens of millions of square kilometers of land production resources. The Anshan mine in Liaodong has been developed, which is enough for the Kyushu Army to use for decades.In addition, the Ma'anshan Iron Mine near Nanjing and Wuhu is also being developed.That is to say, Nanjing and Wuhu can also produce high-quality iron ore. In addition, the Kyushu Army has 200 years of steelmaking technology ahead of this era, and there are also ordnance factories in Nanjing.

In contrast, the Qin King Army jointly formed by generals from all over the northern part of Siam could only organize a musketeer team of about 2000 people, and they still used the bird guns that belonged to the arquebus era, barely forming a three-row formation In the front, this is the tactic they learned from Daming and the Westerners.

"Bombardment!"

After the soldiers of the Kyushu Army approached, King Basseton gave the order for shelling. They only had a small amount of artillery, and many of them were small gun-like guns, which were only stronger than bullets.

The shells landed in the formation of the soldiers of the Kyushu Army who were advancing, and some soldiers of the Kyushu Army who were shot fell down, but the formation was not disturbed, and the soldiers in the back row automatically filled the vacancies in the front row.They adopted the modern army training method, and the military discipline was strict, which was not comparable to the feudal army at all!
Moreover, the artillery of the Kyushu Army is more powerful than theirs, and the gunners are far more familiar with the artillery than them, and it can be filled in about 1 minute!

Changyi, Huang Degong and others watched the formation of both sides from the high ground.

Suddenly Huang Degong said: "I want to go personally and lead the left wing to advance."

Changyi was a little surprised: "You also found that there was a turmoil in the opponent's right wing?"

"Yes, the central army is the army of Siam, and the left and right are the troops of Taungoo. Taungoo sent their most elite 'royal division'. As their elite division, even if it is The weapons are not as good as ours, and there is no reason why there will be riots when setting up the formation. You can see that their shogi is unstable, and they have left a large number of reserves, obviously ready to withdraw from the battlefield at any time. Not only that, different generals There is also a gap in the phalanx between them. Although I don't know the reason, but I know that their generals hesitated, and that is our chance for a decisive battle!" Huang Degong said.

"You can go ahead and attack their left wing. I think the turmoil of the Taungoo army is because the news that we have made a detour by sea and entered Toungoo from behind has reached the other side, and they are hesitant to return home." Chu Yun said. time said.

"So that's it!" Huang Degong's eyes lit up, "The military leader has a long-term plan, and our army will win this decisive battle. I will go to the front line to personally command and break their right wing!"

Huang Degong personally arrived at the left flank of the Kyushu Army, opposite him was the right flank of the Siamese-Tungoo coalition army.Huang Degong personally commanded the left-wing corps, and the military leader was watching them from the high ground, and the morale of the left-wing corps was once again high.

"This time our left wing is no longer an assistant, but a protagonist. All troops must fight bravely!" After Huang Degong came to the left wing, he sent rangers to run around in each column to inform the whole army of this change!
All left-wing soldiers are boiling, they will be the protagonists who decide the outcome of this match!

"Attack!" Huang Degong gave an order, and thousands of soldiers on the left wing began to advance to the left wing. The eight hand-cranked machine guns were pushed forward by the soldiers and the soldiers of the Kyushu Army.

The artillery on the high ground fired at too high an angle and began to shell the enemy on the left flank to cover the advance of the left flank troops.

The Toungoo generals on the opposite left flank began to waver, and they wavered between fighting to the death and withdrawing.

"Assault on the right wing!" Cao Bianjiao also got off the front line of the right wing and led the right wing forward.

After attacking in three lines from the left, center and right, only the guard battalion protecting Chu Yun was left, and a cavalry team was already on standby.

The artillery from both sides fired together, the battlefield was filled with white smoke, and soldiers fell every moment.

Chu Yun looked down at the battlefield filled with white smoke. Many soldiers of the Kyushu Army would die on the road to conquer the world, but their sacrifices would win China unimaginable resources.

Southeast Asia is rich in mineral resources, especially copper, nickel, titanium, potassium salts, etc., which complement China.Moreover, it is suitable for the growth of tropical and subtropical economic crops, providing Huaxia industry with a steady stream of raw materials and a lot of cheap labor.

"The cameraman is in place." Chu Yun didn't need to watch this battle anymore. The gap between the two sides was huge, and there was almost no possibility for the other side to come back.

Several Western photographers and local apprentices hurriedly set up cameras and wooden tripods.

"Everyone, come and take a photo as a commemoration of this battle. In the future, this photo can be used to declare that this place has been our Chinese territory since ancient times." Chu Yun summoned the officers and ministers who were still on the high ground.

"What is this?" Changyi and other generals surrounded him curiously, having never seen a camera before.

If the King of Siam and King Toungoo on the opposite side knew that the supreme commanders on the opposite side would not direct the battle at the critical moment when the whole army was pressing up, but instead thought about the camera, they might cry and faint in the toilet.
