Chapter 659 The Collision Between Modern Tactics and Modern Tactics
"Order the artillery to attack those infantry!! I want these monkeys to completely see the difference in numbers!!"
"This... may be a bit difficult... General... their array is very strange and scattered... I... otherwise you should see it with your own eyes! I can't describe it in words..." Berry
As Kevins spoke, he handed the telescope in his hand to the major general.
After Van Rodeson Gurang frowned, he also took the telescope and began to watch carefully...
I saw that the 100 soldiers rushing out of the camp on the opposite side had been completely broken into pieces. Basically every three people were in a group, and each group was separated by at least a hundred meters! But they were still taking their time.
They were advancing forward, even though in front of them, three musket phalanxes composed of two hundred people were already approaching!
Next... what he saw became even more bizarre...
When this squad of 100 people rushed to at least four to five hundred meters away from the front line, they suddenly stopped advancing and completely fell to the ground... It seemed that they were taking aim and preparing to shoot...
"Lie down!? Lie down on the ground and shoot!?? Are you trying to hit rocks!? Oh my God... these monkeys are so ridiculous! Such a distance! With such a loose formation, his effect is simply...
…”
"Pah——!!!"
"Pah——!!!"
"Pah——!!!"
"boom--!!!"
Bursts of gunshots and cannon fire suddenly came over, and Van Rodeson Gujean quickly raised the telescope in his hand and looked over!
The next scene... shocked him greatly! He will never forget it...
At first, when he discovered that the opponent's shells would explode! He was already shocked enough...
Because at this time Europa was still using solid bullets... relying on the ricochet principle to kill a large number of enemies...
Although he was sure that his country could not produce such explosive shells for the time being, he could still understand the principle of why the shells could explode!
But... when he saw that the opponent's artillery shells did not aim directly at his soldiers, but suddenly exploded above the soldiers and sprinkled a large amount of white dust... he could only think about it and was puzzled, and finally completely
I gave up thinking and started to observe quietly...
The first thing that was confirmed... was that the opponent's muskets could indeed successfully hit targets four hundred meters away. This also caused more or less casualties to the soldiers in the front array and caused the formation to become loose, but these were all
The result was obvious at a glance. While being extremely shocked, Van Rodeson Gurang gritted his teeth and continued to observe...
Later... the white powder slowly fell into the crowd...
Then...the soldiers went from stagnantly rubbing their eyes at the beginning, to complete confusion, going crazy, and falling to the ground in pain! All this happened in just one minute!!
Through the telescope, Van Rodeson Gujean could even clearly see some soldiers scratching their faces frantically! When the white dust fell on the bloody water, bursts of white smoke actually appeared!!
"Quicklime!!! The other side actually used artillery to pour quicklime on our soldiers!!!"
"What!!??"
"Yes... you heard it right! My Lord Staff Officer! If my judgment is correct! Those white dust! It is quicklime!!" Van Rodeson-Goujean said while biting his molar teeth and speaking again.
Handed the telescope back to Berry Kevins...
"It's incredible that cannonballs can explode!! They can actually use cannonballs to splash quicklime!! This... this is simply impossible!!"
"But facts speak louder than words... My Chief of Staff... I'm not kidding you this time!"
Van Rodson Gujean patted the chief of staff's trembling shoulder with great pain, and then issued an order...
"Withdraw your troops! My warriors! Let our people come back!! We cannot let this meaningless damage continue!!"
"What!??" Berry Kevins exclaimed, quickly put down the telescope in his hand, and looked at the general with an unbelievable expression...
"Two thousand troops... were repulsed by one hundred!? We will become the laughing stock of the entire Europe!!"
"Then let them laugh... because this war... is not over yet!!"
At this time, Van Rodeson Gurang's face no longer had that arrogant look... Instead, there was a solemn look on his face!
He has begun to pay attention to this extremely terrifying opponent in front of him!
Now he needs a chance to win the war again!
Even if... these tactics will be despised by Europeans! Even if they will be despised by the whole of Europe!
But today...he did learn something from these Asians!
That's for victory!
In fact...you can do whatever it takes!!
"Put away your gentleman's vanity, Chief of Staff, and quickly issue my military orders! I don't want to... sacrifice my soldiers in vain again...!!"
After saying these last words, Van Rodeson Gurang turned and walked towards his horse, and rode away from the front line first, evacuating to the rear!
Then, the remaining troops raised their white flags one after another after receiving the military order, and the neatly arranged troops began to retreat in an orderly manner, but Xie Baihu... obviously did not understand this so-called Europa rule...
"Raise the white flag!?? Shouldn't you come here to surrender to me if you raise the white flag!? What do they mean by retreating!?"
"You ask me... I don't even understand... the adults of a hundred households! Are these guns... still going to be fired...??"
The only two artillerymen in the whole battalion looked at Xie Baihu, the "single commander" and "hand man", with doubts on their faces, and waited for his order...
"Fight!! Why don't you fight!?? Oh! They can come if they want! When they want to leave, let them go comfortably!? Is this a brothel? Just wander around casually!? Go to a crowded place!
!Hit me as hard as you can! Just use lime bombs!!"
"Um... Lord Baihu... I just told you... lime bombs can only hit eight hundred strides at most... they can't hit that far..."
"Isn't this about the same!? It's only a few hundred steps away!!!"
"But we...are downwind..."
"…………"
Xie Zhilong was speechless for a while, frowned and punched the barrel of the cannon! But soon a big bubble was caused by the hot muzzle of the cannon. He quickly blew his hands and shouted in great depression: "Then then
Take out the bullets and hit me!! Keep chasing me and hit me until you can’t hit me anymore!!”
"yes!!"
The two artillerymen quickly saluted, then began to load the shells and continue the bombardment!
When the hundreds of infantrymen heard that the shelling had begun to continue, they quickly stood up and continued to pursue forward!
Because this unit only received one military order before setting off!
That means the cannons don’t stop! The attacks don’t stop!
As for other detailed formations and attack methods, they have already been engraved in the bones of these soldiers, and there is no need for extra command!
This... is the reason why Chinese soldiers are far superior to those of other countries...
Because I'm smarter than them at heart and smarter than them...
