"Lloyd, do you think the Imperial Army on the opposite side will attack us?

I heard that the guns they use now are loading bullets at the back, and they can shoot on their tumbling ground, and the shooting rate is very fast. We shoot against the Imperial Army, which is purely a death sentence.”

"Soft sound, Ferrer.

If the superior hears it, you will be locked in a small dark room again!”

"Tsk, since the British Al Shabaab rebelled, the major in our battalion has not been seen again.

I heard the news from the company captain from the next brother. The battalion commander had already escaped with his lover!

Even those who are in the army know how good the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army opposite are, how could those who are in charge not know?

Alas, I heard that our Governor of England had all fled, and now the people in power are a group of celebrities, and I don’t know whether the news is true or false.

In this case, if there is a fight, I will definitely be the first to run away."

"Haha, aren't you afraid of being killed by the bullets behind you?

It is rumored that all the soldiers of the Imperial Army are well-known in their marksmanship, and the breech guns they used are very accurate and can hit people with hundreds of yards.

If I were me, I would just throw my weapon away and surrender.

At worst, the labor service that entered the empire could at least save a life.

Look, this English heaven is going to change too.

In fact, I admire those British Al Shabaab. Even though I know that the empire is invincible, the whole world has been beaten down by the tyrant Li Wei, and they dare to rebel in London. These are the real warriors, and I am not as good as them."

"Hmph, just a group of brainwashed young people.

Those people didn't know how bloody the war was, and they thought that the war would only depend on whoever had more people to win.

As a result, tens of thousands of people were beaten by a regiment and the entire army was defeated. I heard that the bodies of the rebels were covered with dozens of miles!

We can hear the cannons of the Imperial Army.

Alas, England is surrounded by the territory of the empire, and I know that one day we will be done."

At this moment, a rapid whistle suddenly sounded from a distance. Lloyd and Ferrer quickly picked up their Minni rifles and ran towards the place where the whistle came.

The Minni rifle is a front-loaded rifle, not a front-loaded rifle that originally required a small hammer to smash into, but a front-loaded rifle that uses a conical bullet.

The Minni rifle is a musket invented by Minni, an immigrant from Europe. It increased the reloading speed of the rifle to the same level as the smoothbore gun, completely ending the era of the smoothbore gun.

And it soon became popular among North American countries.

However, the empire has long been equipped with breech guns, so this cross-age invention is destined to have little effect. Except for countries that have not yet cracked the mystery of breech guns, the Europa Federation Empire did not take the Minnie rifle seriously.

Compared with smoothbore rifles, the Minnie rifle has the advantage of crushing range and accuracy, but compared with the Charles Type 3 rifle, the Minnie rifle is definitely garbage...

"This is a battle whistle, the Imperial Army will not fight, right..."

"Shut up, Lloyd!"

As if in response to Lloyd's speculation, a strange roar suddenly came from the sky. Lloyd, who had never been bombarded by the Imperial Army, ran and looked up at the sky for no reason. The next moment, Lloyd's vision was filled with endless flames!

The continuous explosions caused Lloyd to fall into a brief deafness, and he curled up on the ground. The Minnie rifle was even more unknown where he threw it.

"God bless.

Oh my God, is this the Imperial Army artillery fire?

How did they invent such a powerful shell…”

Each explosion made Lloyd's body tremble, but because the explosion was too frequent, Lloyd's body gradually became numb when he lay on the ground, and the dust on his body covered layer by layer.

As for the whistle of the battle, it has long been covered by the explosions!

I don't know how long it took, but Lloyd suddenly heard a shout of charge coming from a distance, and the explosions around him stopped.

Lloyd slowly stood up, shook the dust covered with his body, and looked around.

Then he saw a familiar broken arm...

Not far away, Ferrell lost one arm and lay on the ground, his head just turned to the direction he was in.

Lloyd looked at the body of his incomplete comrades, and without caring about his sadness, he began to scramble to find his weapons.

However, when he picked up the Minni rifle, he could already see soldiers rushing up in the distance, wearing Imperial Army uniforms!

The Imperial Army is the name of the Imperial Guards soldier in the Governor's District.

They are also the object of fear.

"I should be in the support position, where are the people on the front line?"

Lloyd looked at the Imperial Army rushing up in a scattered line, with a confused look on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a series of gunfires, and several hand-cranked Gatling machine guns in the distance had been pushed to the front line, shooting at the collapsed English soldiers!

When fighting, the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun will be placed on a rack similar to a sports car. Mules and horses can be pushed during marching, and soldiers can be pushed during combat.

Compared to artillery, the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun is much lighter and naturally has much better maneuverability.

If you encounter a crowded enemy array during attack, you only need to push up a few hand-cranked Gatling machine guns and cross-fire for a few seconds to completely defeat the opponent!

Although both sides have eliminated the smoothbore gun, the tactics are still in the intensive gun queuing stage.

Especially for the English army, the Minnie rifle only increased its effective range and its shooting frequency was similar to the original smoothbore rifle, so it naturally needed a dense array of guns to pursue firepower density.

As for the Imperial Army, in addition to attacking and charging, in order to maintain firepower density, it often uses dense gun platoon arrays.

This is actually the most effective way to kill the enemy.

Whether it was the scattered line or the 33 tactics, to put it bluntly, it was all because the weapons' killing effect became better and better, and the dense sea of ​​people tactics failed.

The Imperial Guards faced no opponents even with machine guns, so they naturally did not need to change their tactics. For Imperial Guards soldiers who used bolt rifles, the straggler line would only weaken their local fire density, and would only be used when attacking and charge, and the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun must be followed to maintain a sparse fire density.

In this era, firepower density is the kingly way to win the war!

Of course, another reason why the Imperial Guards dared to charge with strait tactics is that the howitzers equipped by the Imperial Guards have the advantages of era crushing technology, and the grenades fired can first send the enemy's dense formation to heaven, so there is no need to worry about encountering the enemy's platoon formation when attacking.

Otherwise, if the scattered soldiers charge in a line, they will easily be swept by the platoons once they hit the enemy's platoons.

In the world history of Li Wei's previous life, even during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese and Qing dynasties' military battles relied on intensive gun platoon tactics to shoot.

What's ridiculous is that the Qing army at that time had individual guns with faster firing speed than the Japanese army, but they were defeated repeatedly in the shooting and served as the commander of the transportation brigade...

Yes, in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, which was criticized by later generations, the Qing army was defeated by the Japanese army with equipment advantages!

Whether it was the navy or the army, the Qing army had equipment advantages.

Compared with the naval ships that embezzled military expenses by Cixi, their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. The army's equipment is still good. After all, the maintenance cost of army equipment is much lower than that of the navy...

However, the Huai Army, which was the main force of the army at that time, was carrying better weapons, but was pushed all the way from North Korea to Lushun by the Japanese army...

The defeat caused the Qing Dynasty's top leaders to fall into self-doubt...

You should know that before the war, due to the advantages of military numbers and equipment, the senior leaders of the Qing Dynasty generally had a sense of superiority, otherwise Cixi would not have blatantly embezzled military spending.

It is because even Cixi felt that this battle was not difficult, so she embezzled military spending!

After the fight, I realized that war is not something that can be won by the number of people and equipment of whom I have...

It can be said that the Sino-Japanese War in 1894 is a replica of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, but the roles played by both sides are exactly the opposite...

It is not difficult to understand why the Sino-Japanese War in 1894-1895 was equivalent to unveiling the last fig leaf of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was really embarrassing to defeat!

Even the Western powers, who were the world overlord at that time, felt incredible.

Lloyd looked at his own people who were being slaughtered in the distance and instinctively lay on the ground.

This moment of alertness saved his life. As soon as he fell to the ground, he heard bullets flying over his head, as if he was wiping his scalp and shooting him!

Lloyd quickly threw away the Minnie rifle he was holding tightly in his hand. If he could still fight, it was something he could save his life. But in this situation, the Minnie rifle in his hand was a death-induced talisman.

After throwing away the Minnie rifle, Lloyd lay on the ground and shouted in front of him: "Don't shoot, I surrender!

For the sake of God, please don’t shoot, I surrender…”

After shouting for more than a dozen times, Lloyd finally saw a pair of military boots stepping in front of him. He raised his hands and got up from the ground with a smirk.

An English-speaking Imperial Guard soldier stepped forward, pointed to the place where the little red flag was planted in the distance, and said to Lloyd: "Go over by yourself and don't do extra things, you can survive."

Lloyd nodded repeatedly and walked over under the gaze of several Imperial Guard soldiers.

These Imperial Guards soldiers had no intention of escorting Lloyds at all. They seemed to be sure that these surrendered English soldiers did not dare to be careful and continued to advance forward with Charles' third-type rifle.

Although the gunfire on the battlefield has not stopped, most of them are from hand-cranked Gatling machine guns.

The tactics of the Imperial Guards are very simple. First, use howitzers to clean up large strategic targets, then press them on the entire army, and use hand-cranked Gatling machine gun fire to suppress them, or massacre is more accurate.

When the enemy's system is broken up, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards will rush forward, confiscate prisoners of war, and clear the battlefield.

Under such circumstances, except for a few extreme nationalists in England, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards would not encounter resistance at all.

Even in the border barracks, many middle and senior English officers disappeared, and most of the people who commanded the battle were adjutants and even grassroots officers!

In this way, the most elite border troops in the Governor of England were completely wiped out in just one day and one night, and were even more completely destroyed than the rebels of British Al Shabaab...

Because the British Young Shabaab's uprising army gathered together to attack in two groups at that time, the collapse was a chain collapse. There were too many people, and the pursuit of the imperial guards could not be completely wiped out, so many people were let go.

However, the border troops who went to the Governor of England were scattered everywhere in order to deploy the long border lines, which naturally gave the Imperial Guards the opportunity to annihilate one by one.
To be continued...
