Chapter 57: Chapter 86: When the War Goes On

Cavalry is like a fist hitting a wall, whether it breaks or not, the fist will hurt.Whether to wave it all depends on whether it is worth it.

The emergence of firearms made it more difficult for cavalry, and their strategic value was also shrinking.

You must know that the cost of training cavalry is very expensive, so sending them out as cannon fodder makes the veteran Bill very heartbroken.

Under his gaze, the cavalry once again came to the battlefield, and with the cooperation of the line infantry, charged the flank of the Tianhan army.

But this time the cavalry did not go as smoothly as before. The firepower of the Tianhan soldiers was too strong. Even if they did not form a dense square formation, the barrage covering them would make it difficult for the cavalry to move.

Explosive bombs that don't cost money flew towards the cavalry continuously, exploding in their formation, and the men and horses were directly overturned.

Under such ferocious firepower, the cavalry in the middle ground collapsed before they even approached. After all, they are not dead soldiers who regard death as home.

They can't do this kind of behavior that they know they can't make it through, but they want to die.

But they have already launched a charge, and it is simply impossible to withdraw without loss.

The Tianhan line infantry fired at them intensively, knocking down the cavalry who wanted to turn around and flee from their horses. Even if they were not killed, they would be thrown half to death.

After solving the trouble of the cavalry, the Tianhan line infantry began to concentrate their firepower and launched an attack on the center ground line infantry position.

Due to the disparity in firepower and the disparity in the quality of grassroots officers, the morale of the infantry in the ground line was beaten to pieces.

The strength of the counterattack is also getting weaker and weaker. This is not because they are afraid to take up guns to fight back, but because all the soldiers who counterattacked were killed.

I saw the Tianhan line infantry lined up in neat steps, walking in unison to the position of the Zhongdi line infantry.

As long as the Zhongdi soldiers in the trenches dared to stand up, they were basically beaten into a sieve, and several positions were quickly robbed.

Bill naturally knew this kind of tactic. It looked very brain-dead, and using soldiers to die was actually the most advanced tactic.

The test is that the quality of the line infantry over there is higher, and the enemy collapses when they hit the enemy, or they collapse by themselves.

The collapse also means that it is difficult to fight back. Basically, the outcome of a war can be determined in just ten minutes.

Bill had no choice but to use the same tactics. Although scattered soldiers could reduce casualties, their firepower was not strong and they would only be defeated one by one.

They belong to the defensive side, and there are many obstacles in the position, which can also be counted as advantages.

Not only that, they have a large number of people, and they can organize several reserve teams. If one is defeated and collapsed, another one can be replaced.

Even so, Bill still didn't have much confidence, and could only pray that the quality of the opponent's soldiers was not very good.

Under the gaze of the Zhongdi line infantry, the Tianhan line infantry approached step by step, until the hundred meters, raised their guns, aimed, and shot!

"Damn it, why is their shooting distance so far away!" Bill was a little depressed. At such a long distance, it was difficult to attack with the firearms in the hands of the middle-ground infantry.

He had no choice but to give a crazy order to let the soldiers in the middle of the front line march forward with the barrage.

Human life is even more worthless now, even if these Chinese soldiers have a lot of dissatisfaction, they can only bite the bullet and go up.

Pieces of Zhongdi soldiers fell in the barrage, and the massive losses directly collapsed the remaining soldiers, but the troops behind will fill in the gaps.

After paying nearly a thousand deaths, the first mid-ground troops finally reached the range. After enduring for so long, they were finally able to fight back.

"preparation!"

"aim!"

"shooting!"

As soon as the Zhongdi officer's order came down, all the Tianhan line infantry in front of him were lying on the ground one by one, or hiding behind the cover.

This led to the collective shooting of the infantry in the middle ground line, causing minimal losses to the infantry in the Tianhan line.

This surprised the Zhongdi officer on the front line, but he didn't think too much about it. Of course, the other party could reduce losses by doing this.

But there is a fatal flaw, and that is the problem of filling ammunition.

If you want to reload at the fastest speed, you must stand and use a cleaning rod to clean out the gunpowder residue in the barrel. Now the muskets are about one meter long, and the cleaning rod is not short. How awkward.

If the filling speed is slow, the firepower will be insufficient, and in the end it can only be defeated.

The officers in the middle ground on the front line were also a little thankful that the enemy officer had a brain problem and made such a low-level mistake.

But a scene that he didn't expect happened. He didn't see it clearly because the distance was too far, but now that he got closer, he realized...

It seems that the enemy soldiers loaded their ammunition in a different way, and actually loaded it backwards.

Looks like it's just another way, but loading ammo from the back, you don't need to stand, you can just squat and lie on your stomach.

The reason why the Tianhan line infantry was standing just now was because they did not enter the range of the Zhongdi line infantry, and they had always been in the habit of standing, so they did not use other methods.

The most important thing is that the infantry in the Tianhan line has better weapons too suddenly, and the privates in the middle ground line have not received the information at all.

I just know that the firepower of the Tianhan line infantry has become stronger and the range has become longer.

They didn't get the information in time, which cost them their lives. A wave of bullets covered them. At such a short distance, lead bullets rarely fail.

The mid-ground infantry that had finally rushed up was directly repelled, leaving corpses all over the ground.

This does not mean that the fierce battle is over. The Middle Kingdom sent a large number of troops. Thousands of people were just a drizzle for them. After being repelled, they sent soldiers over again.

According to this trend, it will take a long time for the fight to end, but the commander sent by Tianhan, General Huang, doesn't intend to continue like this forever.

The order he got was to win the war with unlimited ammunition and at the lowest cost.

The line infantry on the front line has been delayed for a long time, and the rifled guns behind have been transported up, and the ignition has begun to launch shells on the positions of the Central Army.

This is all explosive bombs, as long as the distance is enough, even hiding behind a bunker will not help, not to mention the power of the explosive bomb itself.

Lin Xiao shamelessly gave the order to replace the gunpowder in a few blasting bombs with TNT.

In the sound of explosions, suddenly there was a powerful explosion that blasted a large hole, taking away the lives of a large number of infantrymen in the middle ground line.

The huge destructive power not only frightened the infantry of the middle ground line that was almost affected, but even the Tianhan artillery who ignited were also taken aback.

It's like lighting an ordinary firecracker, but this firecracker emits a power no less than a grenade...
