Chapter 1208
A choking smell spread in the firelight and the coalition's artillery arrays were destroyed in a mess, like hell.
Many warrant officers and brigadier generals were hit by shells, either with broken hands and feet, or were lying motionless beside the pit.
In addition, the minor injuries were not included, as long as the coalition artillery array fired, they had basically lost their combat effectiveness.
The tragic situation of the **s made the artillery soldiers of the small artillery array who had not fired in the dark and could not help but feel disheartened. They were very uneasy about the artillery fire of the Ming army. Even if they received the order to fire the artillery, they were hesitant.
Not long after the artillery was fired, several artillery formations became cold. The Ming army's firepower attack made them afraid. Isn't it that firing the artillery at this time seeking death?
"how so?!"
Louis XIV and others were watching the game, yelling and howling.
Only Swedish King Carl XI, holding a telescope in his hand, saw the black smoke rising from his own cannon formation, and he could not believe his eyes.
He was shocked, how did the Ming army play the role of artillery to the extreme?
As we all know, turning artillery into independent arms and making them closely cooperate with infantry, cavalry and logistics soldiers was proposed by Swedish King Gustav II, which was proposed by the uncle of Carl XI.
Forty years ago, Swedish "Emperor" Gustav II personally led a Swedish army to fight against the Holy Roman Empire army. When charging into battle, he was killed by someone who fired a cold gun.
Because the emperor had no son, his six-year-old daughter inherited the throne. Later, the queen passed the throne to her sister's son, namely Carl X and Carl XI's father.
Gustav II's military innovation greatly increased Sweden's military strength and once beaten all the princes of Europe.
After half a century of development, the Swedish army is not afraid to say anything else. In terms of artillery battles, they are the best in the continental world!
During this attack on the Ming Dynasty, the Swedish military looked down on the Ming army from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that the Ming army, whether it was infantry or artillery, learned their tactics and was considered a little "apprentice". How could they compete with the master?
But unexpectedly, when I met the Ming army today, the energetic Swedish artillery wanted to teach my little "apprentice" a lesson, but I was instantly killed at the beginning!
I am embarrassed or not. The battlefield is full of attacking Ming troops. They run and their dense hats and helmets keep shaking.
"Push quickly and seize the enemy's position!"
The roars of Ming army officers kept coming from the team.
The fighter opportunity was fleeting. Now the coalition forces were stunned by the Shenwu Army and their defense line was loose. If you don’t take the opportunity to take it down, when will you wait?
During the previous bombardment, the Ming army was also hit by the coalition's firepower, and there were still intermittent artillery shells flying from where they were flying.
The war in the Firearm Age was cruel, and the flesh and blood were completely exposed to firepower and ruthlessly shattered!
The blood of the comrades made some Ming soldiers feel frightened and angry!
They burst out with roars, speeding up their pace, and rushing towards the enemy's trenches.
"Attack! Kill all Bai Yi!"
"kill!"
In a blink of an eye, the Ming army brigade rumbled up with a large amount of dust, and the soldiers in front rushed to the second line of defense, only eighty steps away from the coalition forces!
"shooting!"
The coalition general on the defense line here roared loudly with a dark face and pointed his sword in his hand.
Behind the trench, the Swedish infantry was stationed, with thousands of excellent muskets bursting out violent flames and spraying large amounts of smoke at the rushing Ming army.
The large wave of charge Ming soldiers immediately rolled on the ground, and some of them shot blood mists out of their bodies and staggered down from the slope.
After just a few breaths, the sound of gunfire sounded again, and more people from the Ming army rushed towards him were shot and fell to the ground.
The Swedish Army is worthy of being the first army to receive tactics training in modern warfare. The line tactics are used very flexibly, musketeers are quick and fast, and their firepower is constantly maintained.
The sound of gunfire was wave after wave, and the charge of the Ming army was constantly shot and overturned. For a moment, gunfire and screams continued.
Larov is an ordinary soldier in the Swedish army, only eighteen years old. At this moment, he stared at the Ming army that was coming like a tide, and his body seemed to be extremely wary.
The captain's voice suddenly rang out: "Cheep!"
Without thinking, Larov pulled the plate machine, and with a roar, a firelight appeared on the fire door, and then a large stream of smoke was sprayed out of the muzzle.
In the moment of lightning, Larov saw a few blood mists rising on the body of the Ming soldiers rushing in front. He ran a few steps in an inertia and fell heavily on the ground. Then he was flooded by the fierce army behind him.
Looking at the Ming army that was charging forward without fear of death, many Swedish soldiers looked confused on their faces.
What is the purpose of such a decisive charge by the Ming army? Is it useful?
Next, Ming Jun answered his doubts with practical actions.
Another round of gunfire was shot out, hitting more Ming soldiers, but they had already rushed into forty steps.
The Ming army used the terrain to rush forward and fired several waves of hand guns, and many people began to pull out grenades from their waists.
On the watchtower of the coalition command headquarters, Louis XIV, who had a slightly happy face, gradually solidified and disappeared. Under the bombardment of artillery and the volleyball guns, the Ming army still formed a formation and rushed towards him.
As the distance approaches at any time, the more powerful the coalition's firepower shoots, the faster the Ming army rushes!
"Aren't they afraid of death? They are all iron-clad?"
Not only Louis XIV, but also the monarchs and nobles of other countries could not understand.
Because before this, the coalition forces also attacked the winning high ground and fought for nine rounds, but were all defeated. Every time they entered the attack, some soldiers would be eliminated and they could not even pull them back!
Looking at the Ming army soldiers again, people fell from time to time on the charge, but none of them fled, all of them firmly pressing in with firepower!
Not only that, they held up flags and whispered horns, with high fighting spirit. From a distance, the queue remained unchanged!
"What kind of army is this?"
Gradually, Louis XIV and others looked frightened.
When the Ming army rushed into thirty steps, they threw black objects one after another. Then, countless thick smoke bursts of smoke were blown out from the Swedish army that formed a formation to shoot.
In the smoke blown away by the wind, a large number of Swedish soldiers rolled on the ground in blood, howling in pain.
Looking back, more Swedish soldiers dropped their guns and flee in fear!
Larov held the musket in his hand and stared at the Ming army who was rushing towards him with gritted teeth, motionless.
He wanted to run, but his legs were so scared that he was heavy that he stood there for a moment.
Fortunately, his boss Captain Rolla is a good man, so he pulled him away in time.
The pungent smell of gunpowder mixed in the hot sun, and the smell of blood was emitted from time to time. The extremely chill surged into Carl XI's heart. He murmured: "Why are the soldiers of the Empire like this?"
Suddenly, the passionate drums sounded again from the Ming army, and melodious military music came.
The war on the Northern Front is related to the overall victory and the Ming army must defeat the coalition's Northern Front as quickly as possible!
Xu Qingshan looked at the time of the pocket watch, moved his eyebrows slightly, slowly pulled out his sword, raised it hard, and shouted loudly: "Continue to move forward! Kill!"
"go ahead!"
"kill!"
