The first round of artillery brought great shock to the coalition generals, and there were such terrible weapons in the world.

By the second round, the generals who were worried were relieved. First of all, the firing rate was very slow, even slower than the bed crossbow. They installed ratchet crossbows, which was slightly faster than the cannon.

The second is lethality. Even the forty-pound cannon is not very lethality two hundred feet away. The kinetic energy is almost exhausted. The most powerful iron ball killed only four soldiers and injured six people. Some iron balls were not injured by anyone.

There is a reason for this. In the first battle, the generals of Da Chu should not be too dense. Although the queues at this time were still very dense, and the distance between the scattered soldiers was 108,000 miles away, the generals of Da Chu had already consciously sparse the array.

Besides, the soldiers are not wood. After the solid shells fly over a distance of two hundred feet, they can be seen by the naked eye. Soldiers who react quickly can even easily avoid the shells flying towards them. You must know that among the Great Chu army, the number of warriors is the largest group of warriors, and their reaction speed and skills are much more powerful than the strongest special forces on earth.

The effect of the first round of volleys looked bloody. In fact, the casualties caused to the coalition were pitiful. The number of casualties was less than 500 and the number of injured was nearly 1,000. Because the queue was too wide, as long as the direction of the shooting was correct, there would be no problem of missing.

The war in the Great Chu world is very cruel. The duel of cold weapons is very terrifying. When the melee of hundreds of thousands of people is fierce, it is not uncommon to die in one hour. After so long, more than 1,500 people were killed or injured. Compared with the 200,000 coalition forces, it is really nothing.

This is the case with the first generation of artillery. Its melee shotgun has good lethality, long-range solid bullets, and its killing effect is quite average. In the history of the earth, there are many cavalry warfare that charges with artillery, and there are not many cases of winning with artillery and muskets.

"Disper, attack, the sound camp advances to two hundred steps, and the rain of arrows suppresses it." Cheng Liang issued an order, and he would not be able to see the Austrians keep firing artillery.

Since this time it was a dismounted battle, there was no problem of war horses being frightened. Although many people were killed and injured, under the strict military discipline, there was only a small riot and chaos was impossible. You should know that this army was formed with the Liaodong Xiangshui Army as its foundation and was brought out by Cheng Liang.

When I was in Liaodong, I had many murders and murders. It was normal for death and injury. They were all veterans. Who would faint? When fighting, how could there be no one who would die?

The two hundred feet of Da Chu are less than 600 meters. Even with the quality of the Xiangshui Legion, it doesn't take much time. Considering that he is carrying the full body of armor, he doesn't dare to run. In order to maintain his physical strength, he is moving forward slowly. This is the biggest trouble from becoming a cavalry to an infantryman.

You should know that cold weapons are the most physically exhausting when fighting. It is better to ride on a horse. Infantry can make most soldiers lose their strength in ten minutes.

The Great Chu world has evolved over thousands of years and has formed a unique technological development form with strong defense capabilities. The light cavalry's leather armor is of very good quality. Even if the swords and guns are very sharp, they need to attack with all their strength. If they encounter heavy cavalry, they will have a headache. It is a bit too much for the iron armor to be incompetent, and ordinary soldiers will find it difficult to break the defense.

The battle style of the Ao people is very strange. The artillery is still firing, and the number seems to be more numerous. However, for the marching coalition forces, the lethality is reduced. After all, people are alive and cannot move when they are arranged, and the casualties are greater. When they move, it will be even more difficult to hit.

Until they entered a hundred steps, the Ao people who were shorter finally raised their chests and held a black iron tube in their hands.

At such a close distance, it had long exceeded the strike range of the sound camp. The rainy arrows poured towards the Ao people, but the effect was quite poor.

Although the Ao people have changed their muskets, they also have armor on them. Although they are only leather armor, they are well-made. Not only is they lighter, but their defense effect is not bad at all, but they are even stronger than the leather armor on the light cavalry. Not only that, they also have an iron helmet on their heads like a small pot. This kind of iron helmet will definitely not be able to cut the axe. It has an amazing effect on the rain of arrows falling from the sky. Even if they are hit, they will slide to one side, making it difficult to cause damage to the Ao soldiers.

What is even more amazing is that the Austrian soldiers are in the trenches, turning from square formations into lines. This change has caused most of the covered arrow rain to shoot in the open space.

After all, long-range suppression never pays attention to accurate heads, just shoot the arrow out. If it is an array, the lethality is still not small, but the target of attack becomes several lines, and there are too few places covered by the rain of arrows.

Each person in the Shooting Camp fired at least seven to ten arrows. Forty thousand Shooting Camp fired more than 300,000 arrows, but the damage caused to the Ao people was less than two thousand.

This battle where both sides are testing, and the duel between long-range troops has their own advantages and disadvantages. Artillery vs. crossbows, just judging from the number of people killed, the Aoist is only a small victory and has no overwhelming advantage.

The coalition forces did not expect that there were weapons like artillery in the world, and the Apollo people did not expect that when the number of bows and arrows that had been eliminated was so terrifying.

Afterwards, Lei Jun was shocked and sweated. Fortunately, they were used to using trenches. Although the number of trenches in this battle was much smaller than that under normal circumstances, it was enough to accommodate all the Austrian soldiers.

Without these trenches, he could not imagine what the Apollo would pay under the rain of dozens or millions of arrows.

To put it less, it is possible to increase the casualties by at least five times, or even ten times. You should know that the arrows used by the Chu army are now created by the workshop of Shengong City. They are extremely sharp. When they are shot, they can shoot half an inch of bluestone and can shoot the skull of a cow, and their power is extremely terrifying.

"Shot bullets, fire guns."

"Mustgun, shoot."

The two commands were less than ten breaths apart. When using shotguns, the range of the Ao Ren's artillery was very close and was not much further than that of the musket.

The distance of a hundred steps is still a bit far for the musket. Although it is within the range, it has no accuracy at all, and it can only depend on luck. If it is a war between the Austrians, the distance of the musket shooting is often between thirty and fifty steps, or even closer, and the enemy's nose hair can be clearly seen.

Cheng Liang could not understand the battle method of the Ao Ren, and Lei Jun could not understand the Chu Ren. Everyone was worried and unsure, so the distance of the musket shooting was doubled, and Lei Jun dared not wait. He could see that the people of Chu should prefer to use cold weapons.

The shotgun and muskets, the projectiles swept across the entire war like rain. The Chu army fell down a large area like harvesting wheat, with nearly 10,000 people.

Cheng Liang, who was standing on the podium behind, turned pale at that time. It was so terrible. How could he have such a terrible weapon? In just a moment, more than 10,000 people disappeared?

At the same time, Lei Jun waved his fist hard. After an instant excitement, he felt something was wrong. He knew very well that the power of shotguns and muskets was impossible to kill so many enemies at once unless he was in a critical condition.

Facts have proved that Lei Jun knew the firearms better than Cheng Liang. After counting breaths, tens of thousands of people fell down, at least half of them stood up, and silly lowered their heads to check the leather armor on their bodies, and more moans came.

Since I had never seen shotguns and muskets, although the losses were not as big as that of the looks, they were actually not small. There were no less than 3,000 people shot on the spot, and more were injured, with minor and serious injuries. I didn't expect that the shotguns would be so dense. With just one blow, the Ao people created thousands of pockmarked faces for the Chu people.

"Idiot, the shield soldier is ahead." Cheng Liang roared angrily.

In fact, he was not much stronger than the soldiers on the front line. He stood tall and saw far. Although he didn't understand artillery and firearms, he could see how they killed people.

The Austrians are all long-range weapons units. Although they are far less powerful than crossbow arrows, they will also die. Due to the large number, the injury situation is even more common.

Lei Jun, who was originally excited, also calmed down. From the deaths and injuries of the opponent, it can be seen that Da Chu's armor was quite good.

"The musketeers continue to shoot, the grenadiers prepare, and the heavy shield soldiers prepare for defense." Lei Jun sent an order that the musketeers' melee ability is extremely weak, but the Austrians have a set of means to deal with melee battles.

When the musket first appeared, there were also many jokes in the war between the Ao Ren.

"Driven three thousand heavy cavalry, send them to the front line two hundred feet, and dismounted and fought in a stairs." Cheng Liang said.

After saying that, he waved his hand and added: "Send a cart here to send a heavy cavalry to charge, and send it as far as you can, don't worry about the loss of the horse."

The heavy cavalry and the light cavalry are too different. Not to mention the horse armor, the soldiers have hundreds of kilograms of heavy armor. With the addition of weapons, 12 or 30 kilograms are definitely true. It would be really fatal to let them get off the horse and fight in a stairs. Even if they were selected warriors, they would have no strength to fight after walking two hundred feet.

"General, the Air Force is back, and they drove away the hot air balloons of the Ao people." A messenger stepped forward to report.

"Order the airship troops to be divided into three teams, one team to monitor the Austrian hot air balloons, and the two teams take turns to lower the height and carry out precise bombing." Although Cheng Liang had never commanded the air force, he was able to find the enemy's weakness in a very short time.

The inconspicuous ditch seemed to have caused great trouble to him, not only causing him to waste hundreds of thousands of arrows, but also affect the bombing effect of the airship.

The shooting camp is only a hundred steps away from the enemy, and the airship dropped bombs down from the air hundreds of meters high, and asked them to only bomb the ditches of the Ao people. It is really difficult for people to reduce the height to improve accuracy.

The arrival of the airship put a lot of pressure on the Ao people. After all, they all knew that there were bombs on the airship, but after two rounds of bombing, Lei Jun was relieved. Even if he lowered the height and wanted to drop the bomb into a trench less than two meters wide, the difficulty was still beyond Cheng Liang's imagination.
