Chapter 3222

Although the viewing platform was at least a hundred feet away from the artillery positions set up by the Haihan Army, when the bombardment finally ended, the ears of the spectators could not help but buzz. The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air made people feel like they were on the battlefield.

among.

The fortress that was used as the target was even more submerged in the dust and smoke in the sky. It took a long time before its outline was slowly revealed.

"Good guy...that's awesome!"

When everyone finally saw the fortress that had become a ruin, they couldn't help but sigh.

Regardless of whether it was a siege or a forcible attack, the siege tactics of Renhe Zhizhi probably would not be able to destroy such a complete fortress in such a short period of time.

But the Haihan Army did it, and it seemed very easy. Without any casualties, the defenders' fortifications were reduced to nothing.

Annan envoy Zheng Ting was walking beside Yan Chujie. Taking advantage of the ceasefire, he quickly asked tentatively: "Sir Yan, the new cannon that just destroyed the city wall will cost a lot of money to fire it out, right?"

Yan Chujie responded with a smile: "It is indeed not cheap. The shells used in that cannon are dozens of times more expensive than the old artillery!"

Zheng Ting was slightly speechless. He thought that those new weapons must be expensive, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive. Based on this calculation, the few rounds of salvos just now were probably equivalent to the annual military expenditure of an artillery battalion in Annan.

Although Zheng Ting had some ideas, he also knew that with the level of military expenditure of his country, he would be directly persuaded to retreat at that point.

The Champa envoy next to him heard the two men's wrong words and secretly let out a sigh of relief. If Annan plans to purchase that new type of artillery, then the pressure on Champa will inevitably increase a lot. He can't help but grit his teeth and follow.

Enter.

Well, that thing is incredibly expensive, and Annan may not be able to afford it. If Annan doesn't buy it, Champa will naturally not have to follow it.

Of course, their ideas are actually a bit redundant. The new artillery is definitely not for sale at this stage. The purpose of displaying it is to sell it at a high price and show to other countries that Haihan has always held in his lap something that other countries cannot manufacture.

advanced weapons.

There is no doubt that the Haihan Army with such weapons is still unique in strength. Any country that wants to compete with Haihan on the battlefield must first weigh its own level.

After the performance of the artillery came to an end, the infantry unit finally appeared. The situation in the east of the Bunao Fortress obviously did not require the infantry to attack the fortress, and their mission was to clean the battlefield.

Hundreds of soldiers rushed towards the fortress from the north and south wings respectively. After arriving near the gap in the protective wall, they threw dozens of leg mines inside. If the imaginary enemy inside wanted to block the gap and launch a counterattack, they would inevitably be bombed again.

There are seven meat and eight vegetables.

After an explosion, the soldiers shouted "kill" in unison, and poured in through the gap with guns raised. A moment later, the red and blue flags were raised in the fortress, indicating that the Haihan Army had successfully captured this place.

Annan, the envoys of the two Koreas, immediately took the lead in applauding upon seeing this, and their excitement was beyond words, as if they were the masters of that army.

Yan Chujie quietly invited the guests present to go to the fortress together to check the real situation on the battlefield again.

At this time, the scene outside the fortress was completely different from what they had seen before the military exercise began.

Not only that, most of the front gate and protective wall collapsed, and the buildings outside the fortress were also completely damaged by previous rounds of shelling. As far as the eye can see, there is almost no trace left.

.

The condition of the wooden dummies that were previously placed everywhere outside the fort to test the killing effect was even more terrible.

The dummy that was placed on the parapet to simulate artillery and bow and arrow legs was blown to pieces and buried in the ruins. If it weren't for actual combat, it would probably be difficult for anyone to survive such a dense shelling.

.

As for the dummies placed everywhere outside the fort, there are very few lucky ones who can keep their bodies intact. Some of them seem to have no damage, but only when you get closer can you see that the wooden piles are densely embedded in the gravel.

and shrapnel, the real person is probably gone long ago.

"Master Yan, he would like to ask Yidong whether a stronger city wall can withstand that level of shelling?"

Seeing that Su Keyi was the one who asked, Yan Chujie knew that he was also trying to test the details of the Haihan Army. Dangdong smiled and responded: "If Batavia City is used as a model, should it be able to withstand that level of resistance?"

of shelling.”

The city of Batavia was almost captured by the Horse and Blue Army more than 20 years ago. In the following years, the East India Company made substantial improvements and reinforcements to the city's defenses to ensure that the city walls would no longer be easily destroyed by artillery fire.

At the bright moon, the waterproof level of Batavia City should be regarded as one of the best fortified cities in Southeast Asia. When Bu Nao saw the momentum of the artillery blasting through the city just now, Su Keyi was also a little uneasy and couldn't help but ask to find out.

Dongyan Chujie’s tone of voice.

Su Keyi felt a little relieved when he heard the reply.

But he didn't have time to be happy when he heard Yan Chujie continue: "...if Bu Nao really wants to attack a big city like Batavia, his army will certainly have other secret weapons."

Su Keyi responded: "Are Batavia and Sanya sister cities? I believe that the situation mentioned by Mr. Yan will not happen."

Yan Chujie said: "Master Su, don't be nervous, he is just making an analogy."

Yan Chujie used the city of Batavia as an analogy. Naturally, he wanted to use Su Keyi to defeat the East Dutchmen. Even if they could build Batavia into a fortified city, they would not be able to withstand the offensive of the Haihan army.

Su Keyi did not want to speculate whether the Haihan Army really had more powerful weapons, and it was wise to avoid making mistakes against them as much as possible.

Fortunately, it is not the Netherlands, but the Ming Dynasty that is having a headache.

Su Keyi noticed that Haihan did not invite the Ming Dynasty envoy to attend the military exercise, probably because he did not want the other party to be aware of the power of those weapons and take precautions in advance.

If Haihan uses the heavy artillery displayed in the military exercise tomorrow on the battlefield to attack the Ming Dynasty, it should catch the Ming Dynasty by surprise.

The first part of the military exercise has come to an end, and the second part will continue at midnight. Yuhang County Magistrate Wei Jianyuan has prepared a luncheon in the county seat to entertain the distinguished guests.

The topic of the luncheon naturally returned to the arms sales that all countries are most concerned about.

Everyone knew that Haihan's purpose in holding that exercise was not only to demonstrate force, but also to sell weapons and equipment.

In addition to several friendly countries that have obtained arms sales information in advance, many people are asking familiar senior officials of the Executive Committee whether all the weapons and equipment used in this military exercise are on the list available for purchase.
