Chapter 66 Artillery is more expensive than artillery
"Master Marquis, these artillery pieces are so valuable! They are worth more than our soldiers, so why should they be blown up?"
Wang Wu was the first to be unwilling. They had already seen the power of these artillery pieces. With these artillery pieces in their hands, the foreigners would not dare to attack them.
Although the other officers did not speak, you could understand what they were thinking by looking at the expressions on their faces.
Gao Shaoyi sighed helplessly. People in this era still have old ideas, thinking that equipment is more expensive than people.
In fact, if you calculate carefully, some trained skilled soldiers are much more expensive than these equipment. What's more, these artillery were all exchanged by Gao Shaoyi, which is much cheaper than the actual price.
"You are all pigs. When we fired the artillery first, do you think the enemy couldn't figure out where our artillery positions were? The enemy's counterattack will come soon. We don't have time to move the artillery, but we do have time.
Let the brothers run out."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, everyone seemed to understand something, but these people were unwilling to give up their artillery.
I always feel like this is a bit of a prodigal behavior.
"Don't worry, just follow my orders. I guarantee that we will have plenty of artillery in the future. And after winning this battle, how much money will there be in the concession? Do you need me to remind you? We will equip you with as many artillery pieces as you want.
How many artillery pieces."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present lit up. They had searched the embassy area in the capital, and they had also emptied the outside of the concession. This was not even the core area, and they had already been able to find tens of millions of silver coins.
Well, compared with this money, the money for artillery is really nothing.
"Another thing to note is that outside this line, no matter how great the results are, no one is allowed to cross this line. This line is the maximum support range of the opponent's naval guns."
Gao Shaoyi talked about this emphatically.
The old man who originally suppressed the Japanese army also suffered this loss. Whenever they were about to win, the foreign Japanese army would run hard to the seaside. As long as they reached the support range of their naval guns, they were basically safe.
.
No matter how powerful our people are, there is no way we can face off against the opponent's arrows and artillery. As soon as a shell comes down, a dozen of our brothers will be killed.
Moreover, the number of naval guns is relatively large, far exceeding that of artillery on land.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, brothers have all remembered it."
When Boss Wang saw that Gao Shaoyi had nothing to say, he immediately led his men down to prepare for this battle. The scale was much larger than the embassy district in the capital, but if he could win, it would be as Gao Shaoyi said.
, we will have the final say on this land in Haicheng from now on.
"Brother, where am I?"
Li Kunyi was also beside him eager to try.
"You have been following me obediently. You haven't even had a day of military training. Do you want to go up and kill someone?"
Gao Shaoyi said angrily, instantly extinguishing this guy's enthusiasm.
Although Li Hongtang's letter did not say it clearly, Gao Shaoyi also understood that the safety of this guy's life must be guaranteed. Although everyone is equal, it is just a wish. As long as there are people, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.
of equality.
Moreover, this guy's ability is not in the frontal battlefield. It took him an afternoon to cooperate with Tang Shuang to find more than 200 veteran sailors of the Beiyang Fleet for Gao Shaoyi. Gao Shaoyi's system is now in operation.
It is estimated that a destroyer will be built by this time tomorrow.
The bugle of the Five-Nation Allied Forces sounded, and the people of Haicheng did not need Gao Shaoyi's warning. They all ran to their cellars.
After staying here for a long time, you naturally know what is going on around you. If there is a war, the whole family will be safest in that cellar.
Not even an hour after Boss Wang and the others left, Gao Shaoyi heard intensive gunshots in the northeast.
One of our patrols met the vanguard of the Five Nations Allied Forces.
There are more than thirty people on our side riding on about ten vehicles and three donkeys, conducting combat readiness patrols around the area.
After discovering the vanguard of the Five Nations Allied Forces, the enemies of both sides were extremely jealous when they met, and started fighting directly at a creek in the northeast of Haicheng.
He hit the opponent with a heavy blow at the beginning. Before a dozen soldiers from the Rakshasa Empire could understand what was going on, they had already gone to see their god.
We can use the three steel donkeys to establish a temporary defense line here, but the opponent only has a few lonely trees around, so it is impossible to establish a defense line at all.
"Hit me hard. Don't save bullets for anyone. Find a place to hide after you run out of bullets."
Platoon leader Li Yongsheng said loudly.
My brothers are all old men of the Suppression Army. Basically, we can shoot wherever we want. You can tell just by looking at the marksmanship. In just ten minutes from the beginning to now, about thirty of us have already been killed.
There are more than fifty enemy troops.
This was unimaginable before. In all battles, even the best-performing Daqian army had a battle loss ratio of about five to one.
If you encounter some useless green soldiers, you can still fight them at a ratio of ten to one or twenty to one.
The soldiers of the Rakshasa Empire did not learn their lesson, and still lined up neatly and prepared to charge forward.
It is a pity that their bravery did not scare the soldiers who suppressed your army, but instead caused more and more casualties among them.
"What a shame, I was even prepared to apply oil on the soles of my feet, but in the end I wasn't even given the chance."
When Li Yongsheng saw the last few soldiers on the opposite side falling down, he immediately cursed.
Except for more than 20 people who ran back from the 150-man vanguard force on the opposite side, all the rest died here.
Our side has the advantage in range and rate of fire. Six people in the entire army were killed and one was wounded. The battle loss ratio is astonishing.
"Platoon leader, shall we catch up?"
Some of his soldiers said happily that they had never seen such a great victory before, and it happened when the enemy was strong and we were weak.
"Are you out of your mind? Everyone has less than thirty rounds of ammunition left. It's no use chasing them. Hurry up and pack up your things and go back. The enemy's support will be here soon."
Li Yongsheng went up and kicked him.
These guys are desperate for their lives in a fight. If there are enough bullets, we can rely on the mobility of our three donkeys to catch up and kill them. But now each person only has twenty or thirty rounds of bullets left, not even a high-intensity one.
If you can't hold on to the battle, it's time to go back and finish the replenishment quickly.
Just when Li Yongsheng and the others were preparing to retreat, the footsteps of a large group of people came from the forest behind. Could it be that someone came around behind us???
