At this time, the forwards of the coalition forces had already rushed very close to the Ming army. Their defense was, after all, just carriages, not a real moving city wall. Rifle shooting, especially heavy machine gun fire, was like
It was like a hail of bullets, completely incomparable to ordinary flintlock guns.
The "tacking" tongues of fire are like harvesting straw in autumn, harvesting the lives of the coalition forces! They fell in large numbers, and there was no chance of counterattack.
The explosion of artillery and the raging of heavy machine guns were reaping the lives of groups of coalition soldiers every minute, as if these lives were really the same as those in Zhihu.
The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces watching and commanding from the rear were all stunned when they saw this scene!
It turns out that the Ming Dynasty didn’t have artillery, but it hid its artillery in low-lying areas!
It turns out that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty can be thrown like bows and arrows, and what their artillery fires are not iron bullets, but things that explode!
It turns out that the muskets of the Ming Dynasty fired so fast, and they fired continuously. Is this a speed that humans can achieve?
A hail of bullets, a real hail of bullets!
This is completely a one-sided massacre. No matter how many troops there are, in front of such a meat grinder, they will just lose their lives in vain!
This is a group of newborn babies trying to challenge a strong man!
No wonder the Ming army put up a thin front line. With such powerful weapons, no matter how thin it was, it was impossible for the coalition forces to break through!
The huge gap in weapons generation made these allied commanders despair.
They tried to do something, use their outstanding military talents to do something, but they found that they were completely powerless!
Amidst the roar of artillery and the raging musketry of the Ming army, the army has lost control!
Instinctively, the soldiers at the rear of the coalition forces lost their fighting spirit and fled back one after another, trying to escape to the ship and stay far away from this cannibalistic battlefield.
The same goes for the commanders of the coalition forces. From the moment the Ming army showed its teeth in this battle, there was no suspense about the outcome of the war.
Fortunately, there are countless boats parked on the beach. As long as you escape to the boats, you can stay away from this man-eating hell!
However, at this time, the Ming Air Force also appeared in front of the world for the first time!
One after another, the planes took off and passed over the heads of the Ming army's lines, winning cheers from the Ming army soldiers and making the coalition soldiers forget to escape!
Five strange birds reflecting the metallic luster flew above their heads, passed over them, and soon reached the seaside.
The planes were equipped with heavy machine guns, and with "ta-ta-ta-ta" flames, they began to harvest the coalition soldiers who fled to the seaside.
Countless coalition soldiers who tried to escape to the ship were hit by machine gun bullets and fell down on the beach, covered with layers of corpses. Their blood flowed into the sea, turning the water on the beach red.
The boundary shot by heavy machine guns is like a land of death. No matter what kind of armor you are wearing, as long as you touch the line of death, you will die!
The harvest of death forced the coalition soldiers to retreat from the approaching ships.
Some of the ships docked at the beach couldn't stand the current one-sided massacre, and tried to escape without waiting for their soldiers to escape!
But at this time, the Ming army's strange birds flew over, dropping bombs one after another just above the escaping ships, accurately hitting the ships trying to escape.
These ships of the coalition forces are all made of wood. As long as an aerial bomb hits the ship, it will be blown to pieces. Even if it does not sink, the blazing flames will engulf the ship.
Each of the escaping ships would not be able to escape very far before they would be bombed and sunk by the Ming Air Force.
This is a silent language that does not need to be learned to let all the ships of the coalition know how to escape and die!
After blowing up a group of ships, no other ships dared to escape!
Just like the soldiers on land could not escape from the hail of bullets from the Ming army, allied ships would die if they dared to escape!
Massacre without the ability to fight back is the most damaging to morale. No matter how high the morale of the coalition forces was after the war, it was all gone under the bombardment of Ming artillery, the strafing of heavy machine guns, and the bombing fire of aircraft.
live.
They are scared, they are so scared that they cry for father and mother, they are so scared that they urinate, but other than that, there is no other reaction!
The progress of science and technology and the crushing of the times were unprecedented even in the original history.
These Western colonists used weapons to ravage the primitive indigenous people, and now the retribution has come to them. It can even be said that the degree of ravage is doubled!
If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and this is vividly demonstrated at this moment!
I don't know when the Ming army's artillery finally stopped, and the "click-click-click" sound of the heavy machine guns also disappeared. Two planes also flew back to the airstrip behind the military formation to replenish ammunition.
At this time, most of the 200,000 coalition soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The remaining ones were sitting in the pile of corpses, trembling, with fear on their faces. Many of them were still small or large.
They are incontinent, but they don't realize it at all.
Behind the Ming army's formation, there were about 20,000 civilians led by a small group of Ming army soldiers, heading towards the battlefield.
They were all the people who dug the canal, most of whom were original prisoners and now worked as free labor for the Ming army; the other small number were hired local people.
When they remembered the sound of gunfire, the Ming army leading the team asked them to rush to the battlefield.
At the beginning, they were actually very worried, what if the Ming army was defeated?
You must know that they are all from the Middle East. If the European coalition forces are against them, they will not be merciful. Not to mention, although they are now prisoners, they can have enough to eat and don't need to dig the canal immediately.
The army promised to give them freedom.
At this time, they hoped that the Ming army could win the war. However, it was said that the European coalition forces were several times the strength of the Ming army. They were the armies of various European countries!
But when they heard the roar of gunfire, especially when there were planes spitting flames down from the sky, they knew that this time the Ming army was estimated to have won another great victory!
They don't know what an airplane is, but that doesn't stop them from thinking that the Ming army has weapons flying in the sky, so how can it still defeat the enemy?
However, when they arrived, the sound of gunfire had stopped. When they looked at the scene on the battlefield, even though they had been warriors, they were stunned.
Anyway, the Ming army was still in the trenches, but within a few kilometers in front of the Ming army, there were actually piles of corpses of the European coalition forces.
Destroyed walls, mountains of corpses and seas of blood cannot be overstated!
In their lives, they have never seen a war that turned out like this: the victorious side did not seem to have any casualties. At least they could not see any casualties in the Ming army. Instead, they seemed to be watching a show. It seemed that they were not.
A member of the battlefield.
Although the defeated side had several times the strength, they were all piled up with corpses on the ground in front of them.
Is this a war?
This cannot be considered a war at all!
How can there be such a one-sided war in this world!
This is a complete massacre!
Who else would dare to fight the Ming Empire’s army in the future?
This battle is definitely a unique one. Who dares to compete with the Ming army's soldiers?
Unless it’s God!
However, seeing that the Ming Army has people flying in the sky, even if there is a god, he must be on the side of the Ming Army!
They were all shocked, but the Ming army gave an order to clean up the battlefield!
Yes, this battlefield is too bloody. It takes an unknown amount of time to pack up 200,000 troops, so we arranged for them to do this.
The battle only took less than half an hour, but the cleaning of the battlefield took until dark before the preliminary results were completed.
Of the 200,000 European coalition troops, only more than 20,000 were uninjured. However, their spirits were extremely sluggish, just like wooden people, or to be precise, they were soulless bodies, just walking zombies!
The battle during the day was really too exciting for those involved. It was so exciting that they were all scared to death. Without long-term relief, they would never be able to return to normal.
There were more than 30,000 people with minor injuries, and the rest were dead! Of course, those with minor injuries were just like the walking dead like those who were not injured.
There are no casualties on the Ming army's side!
No one was even injured accidentally!
This is a battle of absolute strength, a battle of technological crushing! An unprecedented battle!
On the side of the Allied commander, only Grand Condé and Cromwell survived, the others were killed by bombs or heavy machine guns. Who gave them noble status and a group of people to protect them.
As a result, it will inevitably receive special attention from aircraft and artillery.
In addition, Li Zicheng did not die, Liu Zongmin and Niu Jinxing were beaten to death, and Song Xiance lost one of his legs.
The dead are dead, and the living are almost as good as dead.
Li Zicheng and Song Xiance will be escorted back to the Ming Dynasty for trial, while Kongdai, Cromwell and others will be taken to Lisbon for execution!
The war in the Middle East ended like this. It was beyond the expectations of all Europeans, but not the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force.
With so many ships sent by the European coalition, the Ming army could march to the Mediterranean without waiting for the canal to be dug.
Li Yan's plan was to destroy the Ottoman Empire first.
At the same time, on the northern front, it was impossible for the Allied forces to get the news so quickly, recover the lost territory in a mighty manner, and enter the Volga River Basin.
As they expected, the Volga River froze, and the ice was thick enough to allow people and horses to cross. In this way, there was no need to rely on the bridge over the Volga River.
On the other side of the river, the Ming army was ready, and another battle that would be remembered for generations to come was about to begin!
