Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Although the firing rate of this kind of rifle was not as fast as American Spencer, its accuracy, range, and lethality were all excellent. Adding it all together, the Mauser's rifle's score would be much higher than Spencer's.

Originally, from Xiao Letian's memories, Mauser's rifle should have been equipped with a lot of equipment during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. However, he found out later on that it was his sudden appearance that broke the delicate balance between Prussia and France, forcing France to strongly support the Austria.

High accuracy, long range, high lethality, simple structure, strong reliability, and even bullets were all produced from smokeless gunpowder pipeline, which greatly reduced the possibility of both fire and explosion. What kind of country wouldn't want to have a large number of such weapons?

Unfortunately, the empire's finances were too tight. Right now, the Prussian armory only had more than twenty thousand Mauser's rifle, which were unable to be equipped by the entire army.

Although there weren't many Mauser's rifle, it was still enough to guarantee the usage of Xiao Letian and his allies. Honestly speaking, Bismark and Lao Maoqi were very interesting, the two mixed camp s that Xiao Letian led were all Mauser's rifle s, and they had opened up a supply of bullets.

As expected, when the Mauser's rifle started to shoot, Austrian Army immediately felt the pressure. Right now, Austrian Army's body was in a mess due to the high explosive and Spencer. The entire charging army that was ten meters in front of them could no longer form a human wave, they were just a group of independent humans.

What was even more terrifying was that the high explosive pill's destructive power on human hearing and perception was astonishing. Just a moment ago, it had charged forward to kill the enemy, causing the twenty or so explosive points to quickly dissipate like smoke.

"Speed up, speed up …" "It's impossible for the enemy to have any more explosives, we have to attack …" Company Commander, who had been deafened, futilely brandished his command blade as he rushed forward, completely unaware that he no longer had a few brothers by his side.

"Ah …" I beg you to shoot me, my leg is gone … " The old veteran with his legs blown to bits and only his waist sticking to the ground was helplessly crawling on the ground. He was begging his comrade to give him a quick death.

Only now did the brothers realize that the enemy was not a cowardly sheep, but a group of cruel and inhumane madmen. They were merciless, accurate and ruthless in their marksmanship, and their bullets were like locusts coming at them.

"Fuck, what is this weapon? What kind of soldier was this? "What kind of battle is this …" The officer with the pained expression was shouting and cursing to vent his emotions.

"Damn bastards, are the guns in your hands scrap metal? "Shoot, shoot at the enemies, idiots …" At that moment, the charging soldier remembered that he also had a gun, so he quickly aimed and fired.

The round of gunfire was fierce, the sound of gunfire was like thunder and the smoke was like clouds, it really looked like a lot of elites, but unfortunately, there were no enemies standing in front of him, waiting for him to be shot to death, more than 90% of the bullets shot had landed on the mound of mud, only a few lucky bullets had caused a slight effect.

"Hahaha, what a foolish commander this is! If possible, I will definitely pay him a visit after the battle … Ha ha-ha, what kind of stupidity was this? How stupid was he for him to launch a full charge under unclear enemy circumstances? Do you think this is a group fight? "

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly and shook his head, he was in a good mood, so he even became an honorary lecturer for Jonas who was beside him.

"There are only three directions for the future development of the war: firepower, defense, and mechanical power. In my analysis, the mechanical power won't change much in the next 20 to 30 years, and the railways and cavalry are still the main factors for mobility. Then, the most important aspects of our military innovation will be our firepower and defense …"

When Jonas heard that Xiao Letian was about to go dry, he quickly took out her notebook and started recording. They knew that although Xiao Letian's words were said for him on the surface, he was actually saying it to use his mouth to send these words to the higher ups of the empire.

"Look at those craters in the front lines. Although I have only deployed two hundred marksmen, the power of these two hundred marksmen's pouring firepower is beyond your imagination." Two hundred Spensers, pouring out fourteen hundred bullets in ten seconds, how many lives would be needed to fill in such a dense firepower? "

"Look at the 20 hidden explosion spots, the newly developed high explosive drugs of Nuo Beier's company already have such power. A single explosion point's explosive power is only 3 kg, but its power is unimaginable for armies that are used to using black gunpowder …"

"How stupid is this commander? Facing such a strange defensive formation, he actually started to look down on us, not even bothering to use his most basic probing attacks, and instead charging straight towards us in a group? "How much calcium is lacking in my brain …"

At this time, Winged King Shida Kai who was watching the battle spoke out, "Yes, when any commander encounters an unknown enemy, they should choose a small group to carry out a probing attack. At the very most, they should only score three or four attacks, and attack like the waves of the sea? "How can you put all your capital into it from the very beginning?"

"Although war always kills people, outstanding generals need to be good at using the smallest casualties to achieve the best result. How can they not cherish the lives of their soldiers? This, this, this... "What's the difference between this and sending the refugees to attack the city?"

The second half of the King Yi's speech was so soft that only he could hear it himself. He was once again lost in his memories and was unable to extricate himself.

Jonas didn't hear what Shi Dakai was saying, she looked at the Austrian Army as they shot down the slope, and asked anxiously: "But the situation has not changed, and the enemy has no plans to retreat … Look, they're starting to accelerate again … "

Xiao Letian swept his eyeglasses across his eyes and laughed lightly: "It's alright, what they are facing is a three-dimensional defensive belt. I'm curious now, why hasn't this commander withdrawn his troops yet? And where are their cannons? "This is really strange …"

Xiao Letian never thought that the enemy he was facing would be Viscount Ah Lan, who had caused him trouble at the hamburger's royal ball. The Prussian intelligence officer also never thought that Bei Naidekejiangjun would use this useless thornbush gardener on the spur of the moment.

Viscount Ah Lan had already gone mad. If the other party was a pure Prussian Army, then this official leader who graduated from a military academy could still make the correct judgement. But today, he had met an enemy who had humiliated him in hamburger.

"Attack, all soldiers continue attacking …" You bunch of idiots, so many of you have already died, why aren't you accelerating your charge? Do you want to retreat and charge again, then get wiped out by them? "Don't let your comrades die in vain. A distance of a hundred meters is not enough to stop the elites of the Empire …"

Ah Lan's heart was currently burning with anger. The bloody stump in his eyeglasses made his appetite feel even more disgusting, but he could not retreat. He absolutely could not retreat.

The failure at the hamburger royal ball made Ah Lan become the laughing stock of the Vienna, now, all the people in Europe have rotten, backward, and weak impressions of China, you, Ah Lan, actually suffered a loss at the hands of a Chinese, it can be seen how useless you are.

This was often the case with people. The young masters of the large families in the village could lose to the descendants of the stronger families, and even more so to the descendants of the powerful officials and nobles.

He had already equated Xiao Letian's group of Chinese officer to lowly barbarians. If she, the noble who was acknowledged by the Habsburg, were to be defeated here, she would have no face to return to Vienna anymore.

"Attack, everyone attack …" Charge! Hurry up! There is only a distance of a hundred meters between you two, what are you two hesitating for? "A coward, all cowards …" Viscount Ah Lan shouted until saliva flew everywhere.

At this time, the aide-de-camp beside him could not bear to watch any longer. "Sir!" Can't go on like this. Can't you see that the trenches on the plateau are getting deeper and longer? The enemy is well-prepared. Just a single outer line of defense is enough to make us suffer, so we cannot do it recklessly! "

"In at most half an hour, our squadron will arrive. The twelve field gun s are equipped with enough cannons to flatten this plateau. There's no need for us to make unnecessary sacrifices …"

Before the loyal Vice Officer could finish speaking, a shadow flashed in front of him, and with a smack, a whip landed on his face.

"Damned bastard. Remember, I'm the commander in chief here. What right do you have to order me?"

"Mm …" The aide grunted and a red mark appeared diagonally across his face. I'm not ordering you, I'm just … "

"Shut up, and shut up immediately! Do you know who the enemy is on the opposite side of the plateau? It's that bunch of annoying Chinese people, it's that damnable Xiao Letian! "

"You want me to wait for artillery support now?" Don't you think that once the artillery arrives, the other main force of our division will not be able to make it? Do you want me to lose face in front of my colleagues? Let's show them that we can't even make it down this small hill? "

"Scram to the side. I only want to win. I don't care what the price is, I only want to win …" "Soldiers, since you have entered the war, you must be prepared to sacrifice yourself, otherwise what kind of soldier are you?!"

The aide-de-camp looked at the officer who had already fallen into madness. He could not say anything else. He only felt that his chest was stuffy and uncomfortable. That's right! Soldiers don't die on the battlefield, but the road can't be spoken out from your officer's mouth. Don't you even want to make a show of it?

You look down on the commoners from the bottom of your heart. You are an arrogant noble, the first to charge forward with your soldiers if you have the guts. Unfortunately, you will only give orders behind your back. Is our life just a string of numbers in your eyes?

Just as the aide-de-camp was cursing in his heart, the Austrian Army soldiers on the battlefield suddenly roared out in excitement, "Charge, charge forward! These bastards retreated!"

"What?" "Retreat!" The aide couldn't believe his ears.
