This was not the first time that the soldiers of the Franco-German Allied Forces saw so many people, but it was the first time that they saw so much money!
Although France has abundant finances and never defaults on military pay, killing an enemy can be converted into three hundred silver coins, which is something that the French army has never heard of.
Fighting in the east thousands of miles away from their homeland, they were fighting for French King Louis XIII, and they were fighting for themselves.
Before the troops set off, Viscount Turenne also announced in public that ordinary soldiers would receive 60% of the silver coins for their victory.
There is no doubt that such a high reward greatly stimulated the enthusiasm and enterprising spirit of the three thousand French troops.
Under the heavy pressure of the enemy, even captain-level officers participated in the front line and played a leading role.
For the sake of the order of three million taels of silver, the three thousand French troops, and the German mercenaries worth eight hundred thousand taels, a certain prince also gave Viscount Turenne fifty revolvers for free.
This batch of revolvers is worth 100,000 taels of silver. Each gun is equipped with 100 rounds of bullets. The bullets are worth 50,000 taels, totaling 150,000 taels of silver.
For this novel weapon that can be fired continuously, Viscount Turenne is naturally a treasure. Due to the extremely small number, only officers above the battalion level are eligible to equip it.
The enemies who rushed over first were infantry, and the distance was farther, which was more conducive to artillery strikes. The French and German forces had ample time to reload ammunition.
Although it was possible to see with the naked eye that the number of enemies was extremely large, at least fifty or sixty thousand, the attack scene was extremely terrifying.
However, the French officers and soldiers and the German mercenaries were both battle-hardened veterans and would not be directly intimidated.
The three groups of people in the center and on both wings were still firing in an orderly manner, but the hit rate was not high.
As long as the hit rate is maintained at about 50%, more than 13,000 people can kill and injure 600 to 700 enemies in one hit.
In view of the current war situation, Viscount Turenne ordered all infantrymen to engrave their initials on the butts of their guns in order to identify their respective guns.
Then the soldiers in the front row can stay put and continue shooting, while the soldiers in the back row serve as grenadiers, loading their muskets and preparing to drop bombs.
This saves the time of changing positions. You can fire one or two more times. After repelling the invading enemy, the soldiers in the front and rear rows can then change positions.
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Viscount, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire has sent 10,000 grenades and warned you that there may be a hand-to-hand combat between the two sides!"
"Okay! I understand. Thank you to His Highness the Crown Prince for me, and tell us that our army has made corresponding preparations!"
"yes!"
"Come here, give five grenades to each soldier who throws grenades! Also tell the whole army to prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
"yes!"
The guns of the French army could not be equipped with bayonets. After seeing similar weapons of the Ming army, Viscount Turenne was envious of them.
Although a certain prince was also very nervous about the muskets here, he still allocated a thousand brand-new blunderbuss that could be installed with bayonets and gave them to the French army for emergency response.
What to do with the remaining two thousand people?
It's very simple, all are issued with a hammer and buckler!
What Hans can do, Louis can do too!
Let Braid know what it means to be "there are people outside the world and there are hammers outside the sky"!
If you don't want to use a mace, you can also choose other weapons, such as foil or mace.
A certain prince asked the French and German forces to take the lead. On the one hand, it was because their fighting power was extremely powerful and they were not easily defeated.
On the other hand, it is considered that if there is a hand-to-hand encounter, the armor can be used to identify the enemy, and the face or language can be used to identify the enemy.
As long as they don't speak German or French, or have an oriental face, they are all serious, and they are less likely to be accidentally injured by their companions.
Besides, after the war, it was easy to divide the money. Anyway, most of them were killed by the French and German forces. At most, some results could be given to the artillery unit.
People have traveled thousands of miles to come to help in the battle, so they can't just have some soup when they encounter a quasi-decisive battle, right?
If word spreads, the glorious image that a certain prince has finally built up will be greatly compromised...
It is necessary to provide certain support to the French and German coalition forces, and 100,000 grenades must be sent as soon as possible.
The cost of a grenade is not more than a tael of silver, but to kill a mercenary, even though the other person is a prisoner, he still has to show his dignity and live up to it!
Which one is more valuable, a grenade or a basket of grenades? Do you even need to ask?
If you want your friends to die more and your own side to die less, you must ensure that all frontline units have fierce and continuous firepower output!
"Pass this order to the missile force to launch four hundred Scuds, wherever there are many enemies!"
A certain prince had already seen Dorgon use the ultimate move of Braided Sea, and the first ones to come over were the coated slaves who didn't bite but were close to each other.
This obviously does not treat these coats as human beings. At best, they are human shields to attract firepower, not even as good as dogs.
Having said that, as long as they can win, the Qing Dynasty will naturally do anything...
Why don't you let Dayu'er rush over?
We have tens of thousands of European hunks here!
We have both male and female protagonists. If this is made into a movie, the box office will definitely exceed one million taels!
In the future, if Dorgon really becomes emperor or regent, Da Yu'er will keep it for herself, but it's a pity that she is a movie queen!
"Hurry up! The Dog Prince has cast a spell again! If you rush too slowly, you will be blown up!"
The armored soldiers holding the formation did not dare to say the word "run", otherwise the armored aha would definitely turn around and run back when they heard it.
The only thing that can be said is "charge", using threats to force the coatmen to rush forward desperately. It is best to break through the dog barbarian's defense line as soon as possible.
The guards also saw with their own eyes the sorcery performed by the barbarian prince, and were filled with fear. However, if they retreated, they would be hacked to death on the spot, so they could only run faster.
Withstanding the artillery fire and having to face the shroud of sorcery, the prisoners were so frightened that some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed...
"No kneeling! Get up! Run quickly!"
The armored soldier immediately picked up the kneeling wrapping and pushed it out with his hands. As long as the wrapping was alive and had good use of its legs and feet, it could play its due role.
"The magic is coming!"
"God bless you~!"
The moment the Scud missile fell, many players were still praying, hoping to escape the disaster with this method.
The missile unit aimed at a position very close to our own front line, only about 300 steps away.
This makes it easier to aim, and it also makes it easier to block and create roadblocks after the explosion.
Our own soldiers are just outside the explosion range. As long as the missile hits the target not too far, it will not cause accidental damage.
Faced with the monsters falling from the sky and exploding to the ground, Bao Yi and the infantrymen who rushed up later were unable to parry and could only dodge desperately.
But within the explosion area, one has to bet on one's luck and resign oneself to fate. If you are lucky, you can survive, if you are lucky, you will die on the spot, or you may die with your eyes open later.
The scene of four hundred Scuds hitting them was like flowers blooming everywhere, but it was an eye-opener for the French and German soldiers who were already facing a formidable enemy.
The enemies were constantly being devoured by explosive fireballs. After the explosion, they were in a mess. Dozens of enemies were lying on the ground rolling and wailing. The power was much greater than that of artillery shells.
This is also the weapon that Viscount Turenne wants to introduce. Although the hope is not too high at the moment, it will be possible to buy it as time goes by when the silver shipped from the mainland is available.
Even if they cannot be purchased, the 300,000 French troops with airships in the sky and tanks on the ground are enough to defeat the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg Dynasty and dominate the European continent!
The successive explosions indeed slowed down the advancement of the Qing army. The soldiers were blown up so much that they panicked and made no choice but to cry and howl.
The battle-hardened King Sanshun and the infantry of the Han army were also frightened and felt a little afraid of the enemy.
Man Ming's ammunition seemed to be inexhaustible, and it hit his side with such force that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
After rushing for two miles, he was shot down by a barbarian. How unfair is this?
Behind are Prince Rui's Eight Banners Soldiers, and in front are the barbarians who are firing wildly. They are not easy to mess with either side!
The coats and infantrymen had to rush forward bravely, and either died where they were, or they had to rush over to survive.
The battlefield was mottled by various explosions, and it was no longer a cold scene covered in snow.
The blood of the Qing soldiers and coats had stained the snow red, and various places were even steaming with steam after the explosion.
"Your Highness, Donglu has Baoyi as the vanguard, infantry as the backing, and no less than 30,000 to 40,000 horsemen. They are determined to fight to the death!"
Zhou Yuji was worried about the developments on the battlefield. Dorgon was jealous of losing and had already staked his capital. Master Wang might just...
"Dorgon tried his best, doesn't this just kill his effective force? If our tank formation is not overwhelmed, our formation will not be in chaos. Even if the Donglu cavalry gallops around the periphery, there is nothing the king can do! What's more, our army still has There are at least 15,000 cavalry that have not yet entered the battle. This is a back-up force. After the enemy army is defeated, it can be released to cover up the killing. I want to disembowel Dorgon's troops and bleed them in this ice and snow. Otherwise, how can I Didn’t you come here in vain?”
We are hiding in the capital, but we still use this tactic in the wild!
If you can surround me, you can attack me, if you can attack me, if you can defeat me, then you have the ability!
If that doesn't work, we can still meet across the river. This unit can sustain itself for more than twenty days.
A certain prince didn't believe that Dorgon's army could afford it, especially the tens of thousands of coated slaves who could carry twenty days' worth of food?
The Great Wall defense line consisted of 60,000 Japanese troops and 20,000 Liaoxi cavalry.
There are 100,000 people coming here for a certain prince. Generally speaking, it is difficult for them to eat two big lumps.
Unless the Japanese army abandoned the Great Wall and took the initiative to go down the mountain, Dorgon would definitely not be able to eat these dwarfs from the east.
Although there is no fortified city here for a certain prince, the advantages are very obvious. Dorgon should have understood it by now.
Two thousand six hundred tanks, more than two thousand mortars and Franco aircraft, 900 Scuds, nearly 470 bronze cannons, and about 600,000 hand grenades!
If you think it’s awesome, come over and give it a try!
This is basically most of a certain prince's belongings, and is extremely qualified as bait.
Winner takes all, if you can win, then a certain prince has nothing to say and is resigned to losing!
"Your Highness is wise!"
Zhou Yuji couldn't say any more, so he could only wait and watch the war develop.
Fortunately, after knocking out Donglu's heavy artillery and suppressing other artillery fire, the Wang Division suffered very few casualties.
If the current situation continues, if these more than 100,000 people can persist for one more hour, victory will belong to Ming Dynasty!
The goal of a certain prince is very simple. Just like before, it is to eat the braided infantry by force. It would be even better if the other party is willing to take the initiative to deliver the goods.
Dorgon also has a lot of cavalry, but in view of his own strength, it is not possible to stew infantry and cavalry in one pot at the moment.
Being able to eat 30,000 to 40,000 braided infantry at one time is already considered a bumper harvest.
A certain prince also didn't believe that Dorgon really dared to kill everyone, even filling in his own escape route!
Not counting the coating, King Sanshun and the Han army can be regarded as the troops under Huang Taiji that can fight hard.
Especially when it comes to siege and reinforcements. Without these losers to provide artillery cover, isn't it a daydream to expect the Menggu cavalry to dismount and attack the city?
Dorgon also used the tactics of attacking on one side and enveloping on three sides before.
But it was broken by a certain prince's magical turtle formation, and nearly five thousand cavalry were lost in vain.
After that, he simply didn't use those tricks, and just directly used the bow to fight with the Ming Dynasty King.
Little did they know that the Ming army was not facing the Ming army, but another group of people. These people liked head-on confrontation the most!
Running in the snow, dodging incoming artillery fire and sorcery, it took more than ten minutes to run for three miles, which was not considered too slow.
"this……"
"ah???"
Many Baoyi ran desperately to the Ming army's formation, only to be greeted by an unexpected rain of grenades!
The French and German forces selected their strongest soldiers to use as temporary grenadiers.
Many "Hans" or "Louis" can throw grenades thirty or forty meters away!
This is the last hurdle that the coaters face, but it is a hurdle that can no longer be overcome!
Because none of them wore armor, they could only carry a wooden shield.
This thing may have a protective effect against one or two grenades, but if the opponent throws a dozen or even dozens of grenades, it will be impossible to defend against.
The grenadier behind the tank will throw it out every three or four seconds when it is lit. Thousands of people are all small Francs!
The damage caused to the attacking Qing soldiers and infantry was devastating.
The French and German forces themselves received ten grenades per person, and a certain prince sent 50,000 grenades in three batches!
The total number exceeds 180,000, and the whole process of dropping bombs is exactly like hail!
Hailstones as big as eggs are actually not too scary, but grenades can explode!
Dozens of big firecrackers thrown at them can injure someone, let alone grenades with iron beads.
Most of the coaters fell down close to the tank, and some clever ones even chose to pretend to be dead.
The infantrymen who rushed up were not spared, and they were constantly bombarded even if they were holding shields.
There are grenades above the head and bullets in the front. There is no way to guard against them at the same time.
The grenade fell in a parabola, and it might fall behind you, but it could still kill the Qing infantry holding a shield in front of you.
Due to the large number of casualties caused by the enemy, the roadblocks formed slowed down the infantry's attack.
The cavalry who rushed up from behind didn't care about the dead. They would trample on them regardless of whether they were really dead or pretending to be dead.
Many Menggu cavalrymen felt at a loss when they rushed to their destination and faced off against the invulnerable tanks of the Ming Army.
This thing can't be killed by chopping with a sword or firing a bow and arrow, right?
It should be solved by the Han army or King Sanshun!
The heavy artillery failed to break Goumanzi's defense line, and the infantry failed to open a gap.
Wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse and not knowing what to do if the cavalry were to charge forward at this time?
There were spears more than ten feet stuck on the outside of the armored monster. Even the Qing cavalry could not get close, let alone rush in through the gap with their horses.
At most, he would yell at the dog prince for being despicable and shameless, then ride his horse around and shoot him, that's all.
"..."
Dorgon was watching from behind with a horse whip in his hands, anxious, but he could not help.
Infantry, cavalry, and even coats of clothing have rushed forward, threatening to besiege the barbarian defense line.
However, what I saw through the telescope was completely different from the imagined picture in my mind...
