C1553 The Hardest Deal (1/2)
Since ancient times, the word 'firepower' was indispensable for war. If the soldiers of the cold weapon era wielded swords and sabers, then this three foot long area in front of them would have a range of three to four meters, then this forest of spears would also have a range of firepower output.
Not to mention crossbows, catapults, and other long-range weapons, the ancient generals paid more attention to the problem of the army's firepower output. However, they didn't have such a concept at that time.
Why should the army have a front? Why were the ancient Roman phalanx able to fight the barbarians with fewer victories? In fact, this was the result of people's research on firepower. One person had one piece of power, and ten people had the strength of ten people. However, ten scattered people and ten people who relied on a team battle to kill enemies had different killing efficiency.
Only a military formation could coordinate the firepower of everyone. Some would organize themselves to efficiently kill the enemy! Modern biology called the energy of human muscles chemical energy. This was also a slow burning of carbon elements. It seemed that the power of cold weapons could also be linked to the power of modern fire.
”Fire!” Firepower! Firepower... I want firepower! No matter the casualties, no matter the cost, we must withstand the enemy's attack and send all the grenades up! ” Chu Zhao was crazy, he could see clearly now that the enemy's attack had turned into a sharp angle, heading straight towards the direction Zai Chun was retreating in.
This group of people wanted to capture the Tongzhi Emperor alive, but right now, Zai Chun had just left the front lines for more than two hundred meters. He was not far from danger, he was far from it.
”Assault, Assault!” Don't be afraid of the dead, there's plenty of reinforcements behind! Use the body of a horse to fill it up for me! ”We can't let that big fish escape …” The fox Chuck felt his vocal cords go hoarse, tingling as if they were about to break.
In just a short while, all the troops of a battalion had been used up. Five hundred men's corpses were spread out on the surface of a short distance of two hundred meters, so calling it a mountain of corpses or a sea of blood was not an exaggeration.
This was a gambler whose eyes had turned red from gambling. He was unwilling to accept such a loss, so he wanted to take back the bet! If they caught Zai Chun alive, it would count as him driving a big one.
”We still have troops! Pressing on all of you, you will all die, and I will die with you … ”
”Wu La!” ”Wu La …” Just as the fox Chacko was raising his morale with a hoarse voice, from the forest behind him came a sudden and never-ending roar of Wu La, followed by the howls of the war horses, and the cavalry soldiers rushing out one after another.
There were skipping sounds in the forest, and the last of the steel barricades had been broken. Right now, there was nothing on the west coast of Suifen River that could stop the enemies.
”Hahaha …” The main force had arrived! All of you, break through! ”
”Friend!” to step in the direction of our bodies... How could he be a Emperor of Qing! ”Capture him alive …”
”Do you see the direction my soldiers' heads are heading in? That's the direction of the main attack, charge … Charge! ”
Fox Chuck stood on the ice, surrounded by groups of cavalry, laughing and crying as he led the army forward, his whole body was about to go crazy.
Firepower and human life, it all depended on who had the densest firepower! The final prize was Zai Chun, the Great Qing's Emperor Tongzhi!
The warhorses and empty horses that were like dark clouds rushed out. The sharp angle of the charge quickly turned into a dull angle. At this moment, the ten plus big bosses had all started firing. They did not even need to aim as the enemies were all live targets.
Mao Zedong, who was standing at the front, also opened his mouth wide as he fired. Smoke permeated the ground as the grenade rolled, exploding one gap after another, before being filled up in an instant.
In this kind of cavalry charge, no one can be a deserter, you can't even move your warhorse left and right, because both sides are people, you can only run in a straight line to move the people can only cause a crash.
There's no turning back, you just have to go forward and die. Everyone just says a silent prayer to God, and by the time they reach the position, the gap has opened.
