The only drawback of the Maxim machine gun is that because the rate of fire is too fast, the temperature of the gun body is easily too high. Therefore, water cooling is used to cool it down.
However, this method is not very convenient, and if the water temperature is too high, the cooling effect will be lost. Therefore, the Maxim machine gun was later eliminated.
This thing was very expensive to make. Toyotomi showed off his military strength and only purchased three of them from the British Empire. The rest were all used to buy ammunition.
"Sir, our people have detected that the prince of the Ming Dynasty is coming here with his people. It is estimated that we will be able to see him in half an hour."
One person said.
Hearing this person's report, Toyotomi Hidetake's face showed a ferocious smile, and he said in a deep voice: "Haha! This Ming Dynasty dog prince is really seeking death!"
"After a while, his people will show up. Use this thing to greet them. We have tens of thousands of bullets. It depends on whether he has so many lives!"
At this time, Toyotomi Hidetake only wanted to defeat Lin Fan. He did not think about the people of the country at all, let alone send troops to protect them.
Lin Fan led his army to the outskirts of the area where Toyotomi Hideyoshi was. He sent scouts to investigate, and soon the man ran back.
"Your Highness, there is a large army gathering ahead. The generals dare not get too close. However, a rough estimate is that there are more than 100,000 people!"
The man reported it.
After Lin Fan heard this, he said solemnly: "Then Igawa Gong didn't lie to me. There really are so many warriors in this country, this must be a decisive battle."
"However, Yui Igawa should know how advanced our weapons are. He still said that Toyotomi Hidetake is a powerful enemy. Do they also have powerful weapons?"
Lin Fan thought to himself that he had a system, and the system had provided him with many weapons that were not of this era, and perhaps it had also changed others.
If this was the case, he could not act rashly. He asked people to continue to explore, divided the army into three groups, led the main force himself, and two groups of people with mortars and Mao Sui went around from the side.
"Your Highness, according to the information sent back by the spies, more than 200,000 people from the Kingdom of Wo have gathered in front of us this time. It seems that they are going to fight us decisively!"
The general said solemnly.
"What obstacles did the other three armies encounter?"
Lin Fan asked.
"This actually surprised the general, because the news from the other three armies was not hindered in any way. They are now less than three kilometers away from us."
The general replied.
"Haha! This Toyotomi Hidetake is quite courageous. In order to deal with us, he directly abandoned all the villages and towns and fought us to the death!"
"Okay! Then I will grant him permission. You go and pass the order now. While we are attacking, let the other three armies quickly approach and surround this place!"
"Not a single one of these people will be left alive!"
Lin Fan said with a sneer, and started to move forward with the others.
When Toyotomi Hidetake saw Lin Fan's army, his face was full of excitement. He roared crazily: "Haha! That's the people led by the Dog Prince, who actually dare to appear in front of us!"
"The whole army is ready, as soon as they get close, kill them!"
Toyotomi Hidetake was waiting for Lin Fan's men to enter their encirclement. However, Lin Fan and his men stopped outside the range of the Maxim machine gun.
Lin Fan speculated that the range of a weapon that could compete with his own army would definitely not be bad. If he stopped at this position, the opponent would be able to see him, but he would not be attacked by them.
Next, it is time to wait for the surprise attack from the other three armies and the two armies that have been dispersed.
Toyotomi Hidetake was wondering why Lin Fan didn't attack. From behind the army, there were bursts of artillery fire and the sounds of looting.
"Sir! It's not good! Someone is coming from behind us. The firepower is so fierce that even our brothers can't resist it!"
"Sir, please think of a way! If this continues, all our brothers will be killed!"
"Sir! Let's retreat quickly. Tens of thousands of people have been killed. Their weapons are much more powerful than ours!"
At this time, all the warriors in the country were frightened.
This was the first time that they encountered such a weak situation. The enemy did not give them a chance to fight back, but killed everyone on sight, and their warriors could not get close.
Toyotomi Hidetake gritted his teeth and said: "Carry a Maxim machine gun over. With this thing, those people are no match for us at all!"
As he said that, Toyotomi Hidetake asked people to carry the machine guns and walk towards the back. However, as soon as they moved the machine guns, Lin Fan rushed over with his army.
At the same time, the other two groups of people also rushed forward, including hundreds of thousands of people, outflanking more than 200,000 people, and annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies with almost no losses.
The remaining people also put down their weapons and knelt on the ground. Toyotomi Hidetake was captured alive and brought in front of Lin Fan.
"Are you Toyotomi Hidetake?"
Lin Fan asked coldly.
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am Toyotomi Hidetake. Please let me go. I will be your servant from now on!"
Toyotomi Hidetake looked at Lin Fan and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Lin Fan's face was as calm as water, and he said in a deep voice: "You are the one who sent the warriors and ronin of the Wo Kingdom to our Ming Dynasty to plunder several times, right?"
"This! It's not me, it's really not me. I am extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty. I just want to be your servant!"
"Your Highness, you must be trying to occupy this place when you attack it. Don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on this place. Any gold and silver treasures I find in the future will be yours!"
Toyotomi Hidetake said with a trembling voice.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Do you think I need you to help me manage this place?
Just now, I heard gunshots from your team, where did you buy the weapons?"
Lin Fan hadn't seen the Maxim machine gun yet, so he could only assume that it was a weapon he made and leaked it. If an official of the Ming Dynasty did such a thing, the Nine Tribes must be killed!
Toyotomi Hidetake said with a trembling voice: "The English country, the villain bought the weapons from the English country, haha! That's just rubbish, not as good as the weapons equipped by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's army!"
Lin Fan said coldly: "English country?
Haha! I see, this is a bit beyond my expectation."
The British Empire, during the Qing Dynasty, was an empire on which the sun never set, and all the country's warships were purchased from their country.
Moreover, the naval generals of the Qing Dynasty also returned from studying in England. At that time, the Qing Dynasty's navy also purchased a lot of warships.
In terms of pure naval strength, the Qing Dynasty was also among the best in the world. Unfortunately, it encountered Cixi and Weng Tonghe.
As a result, the navy has only warships and outstanding generals, but not enough artillery shells, so it can only be beaten passively!
