Compared with powerful naval equipment, the military equipment of the Mu Empire civilization is somewhat insufficient.

The Ram warship cannons are extremely powerful, but there is no matching musket. This is the biggest weakness of the Dark Night Army at present. Fortunately, they also have a black technology armor - Ram armor.

Like the Ram warship, this armor is the crystallization of civilization technology in the Mu Empire. It is also silver-white, with amazing defense and can resist the attack of the flintlock rifle to a certain extent.

This is very awesome!

The only regret is that the number of Ram armor is rare, and the raw materials produced are currently available in the M continent, and the output is limited. Otherwise, the Dark Night Empire would be invincible in the world.

The combination of Ram warships and Ram armor in today's game world determines that the Dark Night Empire can control the ocean but is unable to expedition to other continents. It is a strategic defensive empire.

Fortunately, the territory of M continent is vast, and Honda Keiyu and others do not have much expansion ambitions.

Their strategic goal is to carry out ocean trade with the M continent as the core and rely on sea control as the basis, and gradually expand the influence of the Dark Night Empire.

This is inconsistent with Daxia's marine strategy.

…………

The Dark Night Army that landed on Oahu Island for 150,000 was a slave army, not only did not have a chance with Ram armor, but only had simple leather armor on them, which was a real cannon fodder force.

After landing, the slave army was forced to charge forward to consume enemy ammunition.

"fire!"

On the periphery of Honolulu, Cao Gui arranged troops to temporarily build an artillery position and condescendingly. Seeing the enemy rushing up, Cao Gui ordered the artillery directly without hesitation.

The artillery was left by the Pacific Fleet, and Hawaii County itself has no industrial foundation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The slave army charged forward, under the bombardment of dense artillery, flew everywhere, and the broken limbs and wreckage splattered in the air, like hell on earth.

"Next wave!"

The commander of the Dark Night Army was unmoved and sent batches of cannon fodder to the battlefield.

At the same time, an elite army wearing Ram armor was doing the final rest in the rear. As soon as the enemy artillery stopped, they rushed forward and seized the enemy artillery position.

The Daxia artillery has been improved several times. To this day, it has got rid of the inefficient smoothbore front-loading guns that have fallen behind, but is a more advanced rifled gun. At the same time, the bolts are improved, and the gun is rear-loaded, and the firing speed is significantly improved.

Then, the anti-recoil device is used to realize the elastic gun mount. The force acting on the gun mount is greatly reduced, the weight of the gun is reduced, and the gun will not displace during fire, and the launch speed will be increased again.

The shells fired by the artillery also evolved from primitive solid bombs and shotguns to more lethal grenades.

The latest grenade developed by Daxia uses violent explosives and composite fuses to increase the weight of the projectile and improve the lethality of the grenade. It is supplemented by tools such as circumferential sights, goniometers and fuse mounting machines to increase the lethality of the artillery on the battlefield and its explosiveness.

Artillery officially appeared on the war stage.

Recently, Daxia has been preparing to build the Imperial Artillery Academy separately outside the framework of the Imperial Army University, so that the artillery military will become a permanent military in the Daxia army.

The professors hired by the Artillery Academy are basically mainly aliens, and they are all experts in reality.

In the eighth year of Gaia, with the unlocking of the Second Industrial Revolution's science and technology tree, Daxia will conduct research in subdivided fields based on existing artillery, such as mortars, flat-air cannons and anti-aircraft cannons.

The role of artillery will only become more and more important and become the stabilizer on the battlefield.

Faced with such artillery positions, the fate of the slave army of the Dark Night Empire is imagined. No matter how many it is sent, they will be mercilessly bombarded and killed into pieces.

The name of cannon fodder is worthy of its name.

When the commander of the Dark Night Army saw it, he looked solemn. In just one hour of shelling, more than 6,000 slave soldiers were killed. The worst thing was that he did not seem to feel the weakening of the enemy's position's firepower.

"Armation, retreat ten miles away, and set up camp!"

The commander was very decisive. He realized that the enemy's firepower was much stronger than expected, and the purpose of the test had been achieved. If you want to take down the enemy's position, you have to ask the court to send artillery from afar.

Only artillery can fight artillery.

…………

There was no major war on Oahu in the next few days.

The Dark Night Army retreated after a little test every day and did not make plans for the general attack. They were waiting, waiting for the court to transport the artillery to start the war.

Cao Gui was not idle either. He took the opportunity to strengthen the artillery positions, even mobilized engineers to build one small fortress after another to accommodate musketeers and form a dense firepower net.

Before the close encounter, the two sides will start a hot weapon battle.

On January 20, just when the battlefield in Hawaii was in a stalemate, the Java battlefield, which was not very eye-catching, ushered in decisive results.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Niu Da, the commander of the First Army of the Southern Xinjiang Army and former top martial arts scholar, led his troops to conquer the Java Palace, declaring that the Battle of Java Island officially ended.

As predicted before the war, the Javanese Imperial Guard, which was backward and lacked actual combat, was completely vulnerable to the Daxia Army. They were neither able to fight decisively in the wild nor could they defend the city baptized by artillery fire.

Retreat step by step!

In less than two weeks, Java Island was declared to fall.

In this battle, the Southern Xinjiang Army of the Great Xia and the Heluo Army paid less than 20,000 casualties, killed nearly 200,000 enemies, and captured more than 800,000 prisoners of war, setting the most brilliant record in the history of the Great Xia Army.

This also marks that the army of pure cold weapons has officially withdrawn from the stage of history.

The Battle of Java was thus written into the history of the game.

This battle once again proves the necessity of Daxia's disarmament and military reform, proving that after the Daxia army's disarmament and withdrawal of its troops, its overall combat power has not decreased but increased, becoming even more terrifying.

The disarmament of the Great Xia finally came unblocked, and there was no more opposition.

…………

Indian Empire, City of Cusco.

After the news of the Battle of Java was disclosed, a global storm of hot weapons was triggered.

European and American dynasties have focused on the research and development of firearms, and their strength is comparable to Daxia. They are just a little surprised that Daxia, as a traditional oriental dynasty, is actually at the forefront of industrialization.

The most difficult thing is the Indian Empire.

This American dynasty that adheres to the Indian tradition has had a hard time recently. It seems a little overwhelming to face the attacks between the Spanish dynasty and the Brasilian dynasty.

Juarez's belief also began to shake.

The emperor realized that today when thermal weapons are booming, if the empire sticks to tradition, in the end, they would have to be buried with tradition and buried together.

"Empire, change must be made!"

The current Indian Empire has almost zero industrial foundation, and it is impossible to create artillery and muskets in a short period of time.

The only way is to purchase arms from outside.

Looking around the world, the only one who has the strength and is willing to trade with the Indian Empire is Daxia.

What gave Juarez a headache was that in the seventh year of Gaia, Daxia took the initiative to mention that he was willing to assist the Indian Empire in establishing an industrial system, but Juarez refused.

Now I'm going to get in there, I don't know how much effort it takes.

"Even if you give up your face, this matter must be negotiated. At most, you can cede some benefits."

Juarez has already realized the enlightenment of cutting his flesh.

…………

On January 22, after conquering Java Island, the Heluo Army was ordered to go north and land on Sumatra Island to encircle and suppress Badong City.

This made the already shaky army in Badong City worse than the already shaky ones.

Unlike the Imperial Army in the Royal City, the Badongcheng territory army is still an elite force and is equipped with certain artillery and muskets, but compared with the Daxia Army, the gap is still very obvious.

Under the siege of three armies, even with Yi Ren's support, Badong City was unable to hold on in the end.

On the 27th, at around 3:00 pm, after three days and three nights of fierce battle, Badong City was conquered by the Daxia army, which meant that the Battle of Java had officially come to an end.

The Nanyang War Zone completed the imperial order and conquered Java before the Spring Festival.

This battle was indeed beautiful.
Chapter completed!
