Zhang Huangyan's plan was actually similar to Li Yan's, which was to kill the enemy as much as possible and reduce trouble for the Ming army in the subsequent counterattack.
Therefore, new weapons and powerful weapons were not displayed immediately to allow the enemy to rush forward before ordering the heavy machine gun to fire.
Cold weather does not hinder the rate of fire of the heavy machine gun at all.
"Da da da..."
This was a black and white sound, mercilessly reaping the lives of the enemy, just like cutting wheat. The charging coalition soldiers fell to the ground in rows.
It's like there is an invisible wall that blocks the waves hitting the west coast and forces the waves to retreat quickly.
The coalition soldiers who rushed in front saw their companions in front of them falling to the ground without the ability to fight back in front of weapons they had never seen before. They were frightened and wanted to retreat and escape, but they were still rushing up from behind.
When the accomplices in front fell to the ground, the bullets quickly hit them and there was no way to avoid them.
If it were on the battlefield in later generations, when encountering heavy machine gun fire, the soldiers would immediately find cover and lie down. However, in this era, muskets were fired standing up, and they would lie down to deal with the musket fire.
, at least it has not happened in Europe. For the heavy machine gun that appeared on the battlefield for the first time, it obviously had enough experience to deal with it, and it became a stepping stone for the heavy machine gun to become famous.
In the fire net composed of heavy machine guns, even without the assistance of rifle shooting, the coalition soldiers, whether they were men or horses, could never hope to cross the Volga River.
The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces watching and commanding from the rear, whether it was Carl X. Gustaf or others, were stunned. The sudden use of heavy machine guns by the Ming army directly shattered their three views: How could there be a shooter?
Such a fast musket? How is this possible!
Then, the facts were right in front of us. The heavy machine guns of the Ming Dynasty were spitting out tongues of fire, and were buying the lives of allied soldiers at a rate of fire that was difficult to achieve by manpower!
The era of firearms completely eliminating cold weapons has arrived!
Almost at the same time that the heavy machine guns started firing, two monsters appeared side by side on the only bridge over the Volga River, facing the impact of the Tsarist Russian soldiers.
This monster is like a house made of iron, but it can move. The most important thing is that right in front of this house, there are tongues of fire spitting out, and the sound of "ta da da..." is heard, cutting the Russian soldiers.
"wheat"!
The corpses that had died on the bridge were directly run over by these monsters. The higher piles of corpses were pushed down by these monsters and then continued to be run over.
The speed of this monster is not low, and it can catch up with the infantry charge of the Tsarist Russian soldiers. In just a moment, the first two vehicles reached the west bank of the bridge and entered the allied forces.
There were coalition soldiers at close range who pounced on him, slashing with their knives and stabbing with their guns, but to no avail.
Facts have proved that this moving monster is indeed made of steel!
The armored vehicles that crossed the river were like tigers breaking into the flock of sheep, leaving their enemies with no ability to resist and being ravaged by these armored vehicles.
Li Laiheng's armored battalion, with a total of about fifty armored vehicles, all crossed the river and used their heavy machine guns to kill enemies in large numbers.
The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces saw this scene, and when he came back to his senses, he was already frightened. This battle was impossible to fight, it was a one-sided massacre! This was not a battle that could be won with more people!
In front of such a monster, in front of that musket that can shoot continuously, human life is like paper.
Without any orders from the coalition commander, the coalition soldiers behind just wanted to escape. They were also stunned by the massacre in front. This battle was impossible to fight!
However, at this moment, there was new movement on the Ming army's side.
"Boom boom boom..."
The new cannons began to appear and roared.
The artillery shell passed over the coalition's military formation and fell into the coalition's rear military formation.
"Boom boom boom..."
As the explosions continued, you could see human bodies and clods of soil shooting out from behind the coalition forces. There was no difference between humans and soil!
Every time a shell hits the ground, it makes an earth-shattering sound. There will be no one left standing within a radius of about ten meters of the impact point. This is not just a shell, but all the new artillery in the Ming army fired at the same time, and
The rate of fire of the new artillery can almost cause continuous explosions in the rear of the coalition forces, creating a seemingly dead zone.
Artillery, the god of war, at least before the large-scale establishment of missiles and air forces, was the god of the battlefield, which was strongly proved in this battle!
This Battle of the Volga River was already destined to have an inevitable outcome after the Ming army's new weapons were introduced.
About an hour later, the rumbling sounds of artillery, gunshots, etc. gradually disappeared. What was left on this land were corpses lying hundreds of miles away and rivers of blood!
In a cold weapon war, it would be absolutely impossible for there to be so many corpses. However, under the power of hot weapons, it did happen.
There is a saying that even if there are more than 200,000 pigs lined up to kill, it is impossible to kill that many pigs. However, if it is harvested by thermal weapons, especially heavy machine guns and cannons, how many pigs will be harvested?
, they can all kill you within a period of time!
When counted in the evening, there were about 20,000 cavalry troops who fled in all directions. They were considered to have escaped. The remaining 200,000 European coalition soldiers, no matter how elite they were during their lifetime, whether they were Swedish infantry or Polish infantry.
The hussars of the Lithuanian Federation were all the same, lying on the west bank of the Volga River.
In this battle, the Ming army did not take any prisoners and almost used up all its reserves of artillery shells and bullets.
Fortunately, it was winter with ice and snow, so many corpses would not stink quickly and cause a plague.
However, the cold weather also brought a lot of troubles. The frozen bodies were very troublesome to transport.
The Ming army dug many burning pits and used oil to ignite them. They burned for half a month before they were finally finished.
The Volga River has become a red river. For this reason, later generations have another common name, called the Blood River, or the Red River.
The 20,000 or so cavalry troops who escaped were from various countries. When they fled back, they also brought panic back with them.
At this time, news of the Battle in the Mediterranean had also spread back to various European countries.
The two fronts were all massacred by the Ming army. Basically, the soldiers who went out did not come back. What is even more terrifying is that, not to mention the losses of elites from various European countries, they were unable to defeat the Ming Dynasty.
The hope of the army. As for the new weapons of the Ming army, even if they hide in the castle, they are useless. Not to mention, the Ming army actually has things flying in the sky!
This is absolute panic, apocalyptic, and despair pervades every country in Europe.
In May of the 29th year of Chongzhen, 20,000 Ming cavalry troops arrived in Moscow and bombarded the city of Moscow, erasing Moscow from the map. The reason was that the Tsarist Empire sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty itself, which was revenge.
At about the same time, the Suez Canal was dug and the Ming Navy entered the Mediterranean. King Joao IV of Portugal rode a Ming Navy warship and fought back to Lisbon. Not only did he recapture Portugal, he also annexed Spain with the help of the Ming army.
Facts have proved that there is no way to deal with the Ming army's attack except unconditional surrender.
It was also at this time that the leaders of various European countries became extremely envious. King João IV of Portugal had the foresight to become the only Ming vassal state in Europe with a foreign surname, and sided with the Ming Empire.
It was also at this time that Ming Dynasty's policies began to spread throughout Europe and were no longer controllable by those in power.
The common people in Europe began to know that with the arrival of the Ming army, they would not be the victims, and they might even benefit. It was only the existing nobles who were unlucky.
As a result, voluntary organizations emerged in various European countries to welcome the Ming army and oppose the rule of the aristocracy.
And how many of the nobles are willing to surrender without mercy? They can't deal with the Ming army, but they can't deal with the untouchables?
As a result, in all European countries, as long as they were not controlled by the Ming army, the nobles showed their butcher's knives to their people.
Another wave of bloodshed has once again occurred in every corner of Europe.
It was not until around the middle of the 30th year of Chongzhen that the Ming army was stationed in various European countries, ending almost a year of civil strife in Europe.
On the European continent, originally since the Thirty Years' War,
People have been dying for about sixty years, wars, wars, wars. By the time the Ming Dynasty controls all of Europe, it can be said that there will be no men left in ten in Europe.
This made the men stationed in the Ming Dynasty the most popular meat in Europe.
Later, the decree of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty also reached Europe, abolishing the borders of European countries and establishing several vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, apart from Africa, only Portugal still exists, and the others are newly established vassal states or territories directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.
In October of the 30th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen abdicated, and Prince Zhu Cixi ascended the throne as emperor. He announced that he would move the capital to Nanjing and give way to the Purple City of the capital for the Supreme Emperor to live in.
What outsiders don't know is that the most important thing in the handover of the throne is not the handover of imperial power, but the handover of Emperor Chongzhen's mobile phone.
It was also at this time that one more person in the Ming Empire fully understood communication with another world.
From then on, the Ming Dynasty Mandarin, the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the basic content of the study of things were popularized throughout the earth.
High-end geological studies are only available in the Ming Dynasty. If any outstanding talent from a vassal country wants to further his studies in geological studies, he must pass the local political review of the Ming Dynasty and ensure that three generations of his ancestors are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Only then can he study in the Ming Dynasty.
.
When Emperor Chongzhen was over eighty years old, his health failed. Zhu Cixiang rushed to the capital, served at his bedside, and most importantly, handed his cell phone to Emperor Chongzhen because he wanted to say goodbye to his old friend.
"My friend, I have lived a wonderful life because of you. I am also very happy. Now in this world, I can help you in the study of geophysics..."
