Bang bang bang!
Under the intensive gunfire, the bullets fired from the rifled guns carried stable spin trajectories, resulting in a very terrifying hit rate - especially since the current Tsarist Russian army has never fought against opponents equipped with large-scale rifled guns. So they have no intention of avoiding it at all.
Europe in this era.
One hundred and fifty steps away - that is, almost two hundred yards away.
The flintlock musket's ability to hit the enemy at this distance basically depends on God's blessing.
Therefore, if anyone dodges bullets at this distance, it will definitely be ridiculed as an act that insults military honor.
But in the Eastern battlefield, everyone has been taught how to be a human being by rifled guns. If they don't find a bunker, squat or lie down to reduce the bullet-receiving surface, it is basically impossible to survive a battle.
So the battle taking place at this moment was, to be precise, a one-sided massacre.
It was a hunt carried out by soldiers of the Zhengxi Dusi armed with rifled guns.
Those Russians are so stupid.
They actually stood upright, without squatting down or lying down, or looking for cover for protection.
It's like a quail that's been blinded.
And what they have to do is simpler than what they do on the training field.
aim.
shooting!
Under the intensive gunfire, bullets were like raindrops.
The Russian chasseurs in front were constantly shot in the chest.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Screams and wails came and went.
'devil! devil! Chinese people are all devils! '
"Help"
"Mom. Mom, I shouldn't have come to the East."
"It hurts"
Wails in Russian echoed across the battlefield.
The Russian soldiers who had not completely died after being shot were wailing.
And in this short period of time.
Soon none of the hundreds of Russian chasseurs could still stand and move forward.
rear.
Anatoly, the brigade commander of the 1st Brigade of the 11th Infantry Division of the Russian Empire, who was watching the battle with a telescope, had trembling hands.
He watched helplessly as more than a hundred hunters were hunted down with almost no ability to fight back!
Yes!
This is a hunt!
It probably didn't last more than two minutes?
Oh, God.
Is this a war or a massacre?
If the war becomes like this, which country can afford to fight it?
After fighting such a war, a generation of men in a country will all die. At this time, Anatoly unintentionally predicted a terrible war progress.
Didn’t the First World War almost drain the blood of Europeans?
"Sir, our chasseurs can't shoot at each other! The other side doesn't seem to be using line infantry tactics. What should we do now?"
what to do?
Anatole's hands and feet were cold.
This was also the first time he encountered an opponent who didn't play by the rules.
In Europe, on the battlefields of Russia and the Ottoman Empire.
Everyone uses similar weapons and similar tactics, but the final competition is the courage of the soldiers!
And now.
The tactics used by the opponent did not appear in Europe at all.
Military schools don't teach you what to do when faced with this kind of situation.
Anatoly forced himself to calm down. Without the cover of the chasseurs, if the line infantry rushed forward, it would basically be death.
"Retreat first, pull back," Anatoly shouted loudly, "dig trenches to defend!"
really.
Encounter an opponent with too much firepower.
It is almost human instinct to dig a hole and hide.
However, his words had just finished.
On the Ming army's position in front.
Bursts of dull gunfire sounded continuously and intensively, and then he saw an extremely terrifying scene.
A large number of artillery shells were thrown into the air, carrying very high parabolas, and hit the line of the Russian Fifth Infantry Regiment.
It is impossible for a huge number of artillery shells to directly hit a thin row.
But the fragments erupted from the violent explosion swept through the ranks.
Lines of blood shot out.
Many Russian soldiers went to see God before they even had time to scream.
This is quite lucky.
Unlucky were those soldiers who were hit by shrapnel in non-lethal areas such as their legs and feet.
A Russian soldier stared at the bleeding thigh with his hands wailing.
On his thigh, a shell fragment caused a laceration and took away a large area of flesh and blood. With the current medical conditions, even if he was sent to the most advanced Daming Royal Hospital, no doctor could save him from death. He was rescued - the artery was bleeding heavily and he would almost lose his life soon.
Some shell fragments were inserted into the abdomen, shattering the large and small intestines.
Those whose legs were broken by artillery shells, whose faces were covered with sand from the shells
A round of artillery fire came down.
A Russian Imperial infantry regiment with 2,700 men suffered heavy losses, and the wide and dense lines were completely chaotic.
"Well done!"
Fan Baoyi, who was leaning on a small mound with his gun in hand, only sticking his head out to check, said with emotion.
Now he finally realized how exciting the "Great Tomorrow Soldier" was.
Not to mention open and fair rewards and punishments.
Just before the war started, there was a round of artillery bombardment.
No matter what happens, I can't stand it.
Even if the Rakshasa ghost opposite was really a ghost, it would still be unbearable.
What's more, they are just a group of Baiyi.
oh.
I heard that they are also quite unpopular in Europa.
Seen as barbarians.
Maybe it’s the same feeling that the Manchus and Mongolians have towards the Han people?
And the combat effectiveness of this European version of the Tatars is not very good either.
He was beaten by the Mongols back then.
Now it is rich, from being a slave of the Golden Horde to being a big country in Europe.
But even if they were kings and hegemons in Europe, they actually dared to expand to the east and become neighbors with the Ming Dynasty.
Do you think you are the Huns or Mongols?
Fan Baoyi admired the enemy's miserable condition and took out the pocket watch in his arms to look at the time.
The bombardment will last for a quarter of an hour. Once the bombardment is over, his battalion will immediately attack. Before the enemy can gather together, they will rush in front of the enemy and launch a fierce attack.
Not a single moment of time can be lost.
Under bombardment.
The Russian Fifth Infantry Regiment was in chaos, and the originally neat line was completely invisible.
The battlefield is full of Russian soldiers who have thrown away their weapons, holding their heads in their hands, screaming and running around.
It seems that fighting nations are also human beings, and they cannot bear to be bombarded.
at the rear.
The soldiers and legionaries of another infantry regiment and a Cossack cavalry regiment as reserves all had chills on their backs and pale faces.
An infantry regiment was dispersed the moment it came into contact with the opponent.
Before sending troops, the mentality of underestimating the enemy that permeated the Russian army has now completely disappeared.
They were horrified to find out.
The general, derided as "Mikhail the Bunny," was right.
army of russian empire
It is no match for the Ming Empire's army - this is not even their elite direct army.
It was a vassal army composed of the defeated generals of the Ming Empire and the remnants of the Qing Empire!
Even the vassal army composed of defeated generals of the Ming Empire could not defeat it.
That.
How powerful should the army directly under the Ming Empire be?
Brigadier Anatoly and Commander Pernov also had a look of fear on their faces.
The Fifth Infantry Regiment is finished!
They didn't even dare to send reserves to respond, because who knew how long the Ming army's artillery fire would last?
Their shells rained down as if they cost no money.
Completely covering a large area in front.
Neither of them could even imagine it.
Who among the soldiers of the 5th Infantry Regiment could survive such intense artillery fire.
Nor could they imagine it.
How can the empire's army defeat this extremely powerful opponent?
"We should not be enemies of the Ming Empire! Because this will make us pay an unbearable price!"
Lieutenant General Mikhail's words still ring in his ears.
Anatole's hands were shaking.
Right now.
The gunfire in front stopped.
