When robbing things, they don't care whether you are a citizen of the forest or the desert. Are gold coins produced in the desert more valuable than gold coins produced in the forest?
Even if that's the case, why can't I have them all?
As a result, before the local Sumeru people saw the shadow of the Red King rebels, they were plundered by the troops assembled by the Teaching Council. Ironically, these people who robbed them were under the guise of "eliminating the rebels and protecting them." They were robbed under the banner of "people", what on earth were you protecting! ! !
This is what an army with no faith, no bottom line, and only money in its eyes will do.
Considering that there are still large armies coming in the future, I am afraid that all the villages and towns along the way will be empty.
Even in areas that have not been brutally attacked, they will think of running away after seeing the tragic situation in nearby villages and towns. As they leave their hometowns, dissatisfaction and hatred towards the Order are also accumulating.
Iles put down the information and walked to the window to look out.
Tomorrow, the main vanguard force of the Teaching Order will arrive.
The siege of Vimo Village is about to begin, and Xumi and even the entire continent of Teyvat will usher in a historic moment.
Because they will see a war that completely subverts their understanding.
Section 48: Welcome to the Age of Firearms
"Your Majesty, I have brought everything."
Disiya brought a group of reinforcements and entered the city before the battle of Weimozhuang started. This time she did not bring many people, but she brought a lot of cannons, mainly light 6-pound cannons and guns that were relatively suitable for attacking fortresses. 12-pounder cannon, these two Napoleon cannons are very suitable for placement on the city fort for defense.
In addition, there are many sub-cannons, which are actually Fran cannons. They were the Spanish stuff at that time. The sub-cannons are light and improved versions of the Qing Dynasty. Although the development of firearms in the late Qing Dynasty is very exciting, But in the early days when they were fighting against the Central Plains dynasty, they still attached great importance to these siege weapons, and they had made some progress in some aspects.
The reason why Iles chose the backward-looking version of the mother-and-child cannon was mainly because the manufacturing process of this thing was very low, and the gun steel used was not very good. Anyway, they were small, lightweight cannons. As for the rate of fire, everything else can just make do.
Because this thing is actually positioned as a large spray gun. The small scattering projectiles contained in all the guns are actually used as spray guns. Imagine that after the enemy rushes under the city wall, the ones above The sub-cannon shoots out a barrage downwards, and it is stress-free to knock them down, especially when facing lightly armored and unarmored targets.
Even if the enemy wears armor, he will be half-defunct if sprayed in the face by the cannon within a distance of 50 meters. Moreover, the rate of fire of this thing is much faster than that of a conventional front-loaded smoothbore cannon. What is needed is a rapid killing effect in a short period of time. If this is a tower defense game, the position of the sub-cannon is the anti-pressure operator who can amplify his moves at critical moments.
Only a small part of the powerful crossbows and ballistae originally placed at the top of the city were retained, and the rest were replaced with various types of light and heavy artillery, the more iconic of which was the mortar.
The caliber seems to be much larger than that of ordinary artillery, because it fires parabolic and explosive shells, which can cause great damage to infantry.
In terms of individual weapons, there are Dreiser M1841 and black powder grenades, as well as other traditional defensive equipment, but the latter should not be used, because the enemy will be massacred at a distance they cannot imagine.
Ils and Disiya stood on the wall of Vimo Village, with the soldiers of the Order in formation in the distance.
Or it would be more appropriate to call them mercenaries of the Order. Ils really dreamed back to the Thirty Years War.
At that time, France was still a powerful country in Europe. At that time, Paris did not know what surrender was. At that time, the French army could fight to the last man. At that time, the Holy Roman Empire was still the Mediterranean bottled water orthodoxy. At that time, the Eastern Roman Empire The orthodox name is the Ottoman Empire, which has a pure green color (sure).
It's really touching to think that back then, Iles was also a passionate young man on the battlefield.
Before the war started, Ils suddenly asked Desiya a question.
"Desia, have you participated in a war before?"
"This is the first time for such a large-scale event."
"How many people died in the worst war you ever fought in?"
"There were only about a hundred casualties. In fact, it can only be called a group fight. However, the war between mercenaries was already very cruel. There were five mercenary groups participating. After the war, the two mercenary groups were disbanded. ."
"That's it, then starting from today, you have to learn about war again."
"Ok?"
Iers calmly raised his right hand, and the flagman next to him immediately raised the flag in his hand.
"Welcome to the Age of Firearms."
Just as Iles spoke, his right hand fell suddenly.
The first person to speak was the 12-pounder. They have the longest range and are currently the best artillery in the hands of the Red Turban Army. Their opponents were now lined up in a neat square formation and pressing towards Vimo Village. They looked very impressive. .
But that was the deterrent effect of the previous version. When artillery was put on the battlefield, the rules of war changed.
Everyone knows about bowling. If you throw a ball, it will knock down a vertical row if it hits.
The soldiers of the Imperial Academy arrayed on the battlefield are just bottles, and the Red Turban Army's artillery shells are the balls.
The soldiers of the Imperial Academy striding forward did not know that the battlefield they were on had been processed by the Red Turban Army. The originally soft dirt road had been slightly hardened. Although it was only a little bit, the killing effect of solid artillery shells was truly enhanced. of.
Soft sand will greatly absorb the kinetic energy of the cannonball. If a solid cannonball can bounce three or five times on hard ground and fly 50 meters away, then on soft sandy soil, the cannonball may not be able to bounce even once. It produces a point-to-point killing effect, which greatly reduces its power.
But the Teaching Council does not know this. It is impossible for people to master common sense beyond the scope of knowledge. Even the scholars do not know this matter, and these soldiers do not know it, so when the solid shells of the Napoleon cannon were smashed out in the square formation, When there was blood in the alley, the people next to me had no idea what was going on.
Now you know why there was a line infantry tactic of lining up to shoot in the [-]th century. It was to avoid such a terrifying effect of solid cannonballs, and to convert the thickness of the square into width. On the one hand, it could increase the number of soldiers lining up to shoot. On the one hand, the anti-spray efficiency will also reduce the killing effect of solid artillery shells.
At this time, the soldiers of the Teaching Order were still 500 meters away from the city wall and were already beginning to suffer casualties.
However, the casualties suffered by the soldiers of the Teaching Order were actually a disaster, because the main target of the Red Turban Army was not these soldiers at all, but the long-range weapons of the Teaching Order, such as ballistas and trebuchets.
Normally, these two things are powerful siege weapons, especially the counterweight trebuchet. Let’s learn more about it.
But the problem is that the materials used in the counterweight trebuchet of the Teaching Academy this time are not good. The wood that can be used as a throwing rod for the counterweight trebuchet cannot be found nearby. They were all chopped down by the Red Turban Army, leaving only The ones below are not impossible to process, but they require a long time of work, and the material strength of the finished product cannot be compared with that of the whole wood, resulting in the weight and range of the fired stone bullets being greatly reduced.
Even if they can be fully equipped, the range of this thing is incomparable to the Napoleon cannon. Advancing to 300 meters is their optimal killing distance. In reality, if you want to hit accurately, getting closer is the simplest, crudest and most effective way. , in the absence of a sight and an accuracy meter, effective range and optimal range are simply two concepts.
But the artillery on Iles's side was complete and had been prepared in advance, and Iles provided them with an artillery list that only began to be fully improved in the Napoleonic era.
It does not mean that the gun charts of the European artillery were directly used for them, but the accuracy of the artillery shells was tested at several standard distances by preset targets, and then the gun charts were formulated based on this, as were the soldiers' firing charts. in this way.
This is not just idle work, but to attack the enemy more effectively.
Distance, wind direction, humidity, altitude, and gravity will all affect the accuracy of bullets and cannonballs. The farther the distance, the greater the impact on the projectiles. For now, you can use gun meters and shooting meters to solve the problem. After all, the range is within the field of vision. Wait until When the artillery range becomes more than ten kilometers, and even missiles appear, a new calibration method will be needed.
The combination of a complete set of hardware and software finally created the most terrifying killing effect in the pre-industrial era.
At this time, the morale of the Koroin army was already a bit low. Thunderous sounds kept coming from the opposite side, and then the teammates around him kept falling down, one by one. Those who are unlucky will even have half of their bodies broken into pieces. For Xumi's mercenaries, this is simply hell on earth.
Divine punishment, this is the divine punishment of the Red King! ! !
More than one soldier from the Order Council thought this way. Fear was spreading at an unimaginable speed, and when they entered a distance of 200 meters from the city wall, something even more terrifying happened.
With a dense banging sound, the thickness of the first line of square array was cut off by half in an instant.
On the city wall, the Red Turban soldiers, who had long been lined up and taking aim, were in groups of a hundred. They fired with rapid and accurate firepower, making the soldiers of the Apostolic Order feel the pressure of ten Maxim machine guns on the top of the city.
After completing a round of shooting, it was time for free shooting, and the gunfire on the city wall never stopped.
The troops of the Apostolic Order disappeared like snowflakes, and soon reached the critical point of morale collapse.
At this moment, the first-line phalanx entered within 50 meters of the city wall of Vimo Village.
The twenty cannons deployed on the city wall opened fire at the same time, and the frontline troops of the Order fell instantly, as if someone had erased a pencil drawing with an eraser. Not even a single one of the frontline phalanx remained.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I don't want to die!!"
As the screams of fear came from the team, the entire outline of the teaching army collapsed in an instant. Everyone instantly grasped the US military's backward attack tactics and tried their best to escape from this pervasive area. The battlefield smelled of gunpowder smoke and blood, and the army was defeated like a mountain.
Their morale was shattered.
Chapter 49: Not as good as thirty thousand pigs
Throughout the ages, pig tactics have been used by people, until Zhu Tu's little devil met Maxim.
For an army with automatic firepower, enemies charging in groups are really cute. This situation usually occurs when there is a generational difference in military thinking and military tactics between the two sides.
There is at least a 1000-year gap in tactics and weapons between the Red Scarf Army and the Jiaoluin. The only way to win is to see Arataki in a fight.
As for whether they can persist to 50 meters below the city wall...
It’s really not that there is any magic in the Teaching Order, or that the mercenaries are brave. It’s simply that the weapons on the Red Turban Army’s side are too powerful. The tons of damage dealt instantly made these people unable to react. After they reacted, the Teaching Order No matter how hard the hospital's supervising team tried, it was of no use. Those defeated soldiers would rather fight with the supervising team than dare to take a step towards Weimo Village.
There is the thunder of the Red King, an existence that mortals cannot touch! ! !
Seeing the enemy's collapse, Iles certainly would not let go of the good opportunity to kill. The cavalry troops that had been prepared immediately went out of the city to pursue the enemies. Although the cavalry troops only had 2000 people at full strength, half of them were temporary guest dragoons. It has the combat capability of riding a horse to slash and kill, but the enemy's morale has collapsed. At this time, as long as you kill it, you will gain victory.
The [-] vanguard troops of the Jiaolingyuan have turned into [-] wild boars running all over the mountains and fields. No, there are only less than [-] left.
The combination of breech-loaded rifled striker guns and Napoleon cannons, facing a phalanx army in the cold weapon era, is simply target training. When this kind of army is defeated, it will be very serious to trample on each other. It is estimated that the soldiers of the Order themselves There were no less than five thousand people trampled to death, and there was a big river in front of Weimo Village. The original road was now unsafe due to the impact of the Red Turban Cavalry. They could only run through the mountain road or swim across the river. In the process Many people will die again.
Anyway, after the war, the Red Turban Army fished out no less than [-] corpses from the river, and hundreds of floating corpses were found at the mouth of Olmos Port.
The final result of the battle was that the 8000-strong vanguard army of the Teaching Order left behind more than [-] corpses, more than [-] people were captured, and thousands more were missing. The number of defeated troops who were barely gathered behind them totaled less than [-], which was unprecedented. The fiasco.
In contrast, there were only thirteen injured on the Red Turban Army side. Two of them hit their toes while carrying ammunition. Five dragoons accidentally stumbled while chasing the enemy and fell into the mud. The others were injured. Among them, only two were injured by the enemy. One of them was slashed by the defeated soldiers who broke out in despair, leaving a big gash in his left arm. The other was encountered by the fools lurking in the Army of the Order and was killed. The opponent grabbed the weapon and kicked two ribs.
This should be considered the biggest loss.
But Iles didn't care. The Dreiser M1841 was just a transitional weapon. When the entire Sumeru was liberated, he would switch to the British Army's Lao Li, who was the rapid-fire king among mass-produced bolt-action rifles.
Pay attention to the qualifier in front of it. It is the rapid-fire king among mass-produced bolt-action rifles. Don’t compare it with those small-scale production, which does not exceed [-] pieces per shot. If you want to be so good, it is the best submachine gun in World War II. It's called Somi, but the total production is only that small. Compared with the output of Bobosha, it can give a five-star presence in Girls' Frontline. In reality, the army would rather have Bobosha than Somi.
After all, I can arm the entire army with Bobosha, but Suomi can only let me arm one regiment.
For those comrades who want to take a step forward to AK47, how many kilograms of steel is produced in Xumi now? You are so awesome. Hurry up and pair it with wine. It is recommended to use vodka with betel nuts to ensure that you only have two and a half kilograms left with the box. .
However, it is not good to produce too much of a certain kind of weapon. For example, the United States produced 189 billion bullets in one year during World War II. The three Axis countries combined did not produce as many bullets as the United States did in that year. No wonder the United States produced [-] billion bullets in World War II. Later, the country started to eat chicken crazily, consuming the bullet inventory efficiently, right?
Even if Solstice Country imitates the Dreiser M1841 rifle, it is still far away from mass production. What’s more, this weapon is completely different from Teyvat’s technology tree. You can copy the structure of the weapon, but how do you make the material formula?What will you do with subsequent industrial mass production?There is no supporting system, you just have to create it.
Copycatting is also a technical job, and not just any idiot is qualified to copycat.
In addition to the destroyed Order House, there was another person who was deeply shocked by this war.
That was Ye Lan who was lurking nearby.
She originally just wanted to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Red Scarf Army and see what kind of person the Red King was, but she saw this terrifying scene that subverted her three views.
There are wars in history that have drastically reduced the population. During the war between demons and gods, weak humans struggled to survive in the cracks and experienced terrifying power that could overwhelm rivers and seas. But that was the power of demons. If humans want to do this, they must It's completely impossible. Even if someone with extraordinary talents can do it with elemental power, it's only the exclusive preserve of a few people.
But what did she see today? Everyone in the Red Scarf Army could kill the enemy a hundred meters away. Those looked like Liyue's mountain cannons, but in fact they were smaller and more exquisite long-range weapons. The striking effect is no less than that of elemental power. The most important thing is that there are so many of them!
Yelan could see more than a hundred artillery pieces of various types. As for the mountain cannon, a heavy weapon driven by elemental force, a total of two hundred were built in Liyue's thousands of years of history, of which fifty were It is strictly preserved as a powerful weapon to govern the country. Many of its mechanisms were refined by immortals themselves, and there is no way for mortals to reproduce them.
This means that for similar things, use one less one.
Moreover, mountain cannons are very large and inconvenient to transport. However, those small cannons are very powerful, have a very fast rate of fire, and a very long distance. They can be pulled across the ground by a horse. Even without horses, soldiers can push Allow them to maneuver quickly over short distances.
Ye Lan saw with her own eyes several soldiers dragging a small cannon (six-pounder) around the city wall. They concentrated on firing wherever there were people, highlighting their flexibility.
The heavier cannons (twelve-pounder cannons) can also gain a certain degree of maneuverability with the combined efforts of everyone. Even if horses are required to pull them, only two horses are needed. Even on flat terrain, one horse is enough. After the mountain cannon is deployed, it is simply impossible to drive it manually. Even the movement of the thing requires a special wooden track. Compared with the cannons used by the Red Turban Army, the gap is not as big as usual.
The most important thing is that the Red Turban Army has many such weapons and can be replaced quickly.
For example, if a certain artillery fires too many times and overheats, it can be directly water-cooled at first. Later, it can be directly set aside to cool down, and a new one can be used to continue firing.
This shows from the side that there are a lot of weapons and the price is acceptable.
Compared with the previous advantages, this one is the most terrifying.
It is true that the Liyue Mountain Cannon is more powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it cannot beat a one-hundred-person artillery battle. The range is the same and the power gap is not so large that it can crush them. In a cluster artillery battle, the Red Turban Army has a greater advantage. It is large and can be replenished quickly, but Liyue cannot afford to lose any of them, and what is lost cannot be replenished.
In the past, Xumi did not have such exaggerated weapons, but now they are superior to the other six nations as soon as they appear. No matter how you look at it, this process looks like a historical novel missing 10,000+ words of plot.
Could it be that that person is really the Red King?
At this time, Ye Lan also began to waver. If Ils, the Red King, was fake, how could we explain the current changes in the Red Turban Army?You must know that the Red King in history was a man of great wisdom who was "well-read in poetry", "full of economics" and "could debate scriptures with dozens of sages and win". Everything that is unreasonable now can be understood as "Ils It’s the Red King”, then it made sense instantly.
The returning demon?
The more Ye Lan thought about it, the more likely it became. This matter must be reported to Master Ningguang and let the wise men of Liyue judge. The next thing he has to do is to learn more about the return of the Red King.
Maybe, I can go directly and talk to His Majesty the Red King.
Chapter 50: PTSD
(Third update! Where is your ticket? If not, the barrage will do, please give me some)
"There is a living person here!",
"Stretcher, bring the stretcher."
"Be patient and let me help you stop bleeding first."
"Medic! This young man is dying!"
"Move the body away first, there are living people here."
Under the city of Weimo Village, the Red Turban Army was organizing local people to clean up the battlefield.
Because there were so many enemy corpses that starting from 50 meters below the city wall, the enemy corpses extended to two kilometers away (some people were wounded and tore their wounds while escaping, causing heavy bleeding, and then died two kilometers away), but this should not be the limit of the spread of enemy corpses. There will definitely be enemy corpses further away, but that is not something that can be dealt with now. Currently, the enemy corpses under the city can be Just dispose of the body.
In the past, this kind of body treatment was done by digging a pit, throwing it in one by one and cremating it. The body of the person was buried in a more serious manner, and the rest was burned to ashes.
