No one is willing to face an enemy who is "stable" in any aspect. What the enemy does is "stable", which means it is difficult to reveal any major flaws. Even if we finally win a battle with such an enemy, it will inevitably be a disastrous victory of killing one thousand and losing eight hundred.
If we face an enemy that is "stable" in all aspects, unless our own weapons and equipment have an absolute advantage, the soldiers have sufficient training, perfect organization and are more elite than the other party, otherwise we will really only win a disastrous victory. Only ourselves know the depression of the generals who encounter this kind of war.
There was no special way for the Han Empire to train the firearm troops. It weakened the soldiers' personal thoughts again and again, and imported the collective consciousness and obedience consciousness. It did not need the soldiers to have strong personal combat effectiveness, but only that they could maintain the formation in the face of any enemy.
In the era of firearm shooting in platoon stations, there is really no need to have too complex training means. The real need to make changes is when firearms are more perfect and all kinds of weapons are updated. Otherwise, "a fresh recruit" can dominate the whole world.
Of course, at present, the whole earth has developed firearms in the Han Empire, one step ahead... Let firearms appear more than 1000 years in advance, and let individual soldiers throw firearms and bronze guns be loaded into the army in advance.
Other countries are still playing with cold weapons, that is, the chariots eliminated by Zhuxia for hundreds of years are still the main arms of other countries... Including Rome and sassanne.
The firearms troops of the Han Army, who were trained to be extremely rigid, did not face the enemy with guns and guns of various calibres. They were a group of long-range weapons, basically bows and arrows, and crossbows or enemies imitating the Han Empire.
Within an hour after the start of today's battle, the Han Army's firearm troops destroyed more than 6000 enemy troops, and their own losses were less than 400.
The rest of the Han Army, the cold weapon troops on the left and right wings, are neglected groups, but they have achieved a lot of results. They should have killed about 2000 enemy troops, but they have not even lost 20.
The cold weapons on the left and right wings of the Han Army and the cavalry also made great contributions to the whole war situation, forcing the Persian bow cavalry to "accompany" cruising and fighting, attracting more cavalry of the anti Han axis coalition, reducing great pressure on the front battlefield.
"You should develop cavalry!" Elbata was almost black with a face. He didn't know whether to wonder or sigh or rejoice: "the infantry were slaughtered when they fought with the gun troops of the Han army. Only the cavalry can play a role."
Rome's "short legs" are well known all over the world. It's no problem that they still nest in the Mediterranean. Anyway, they can rely on shipping to make up for the shortcomings of "short legs". However, once they leave the Mediterranean environment, the shortcomings of Rome's "short legs" will be infinitely magnified.
"It's time to develop cavalry." Marus's face was also not good-looking: "but you know, we don't have good pastures over there. We need your country to provide enough war horses."
There was really no good pasture in the territory of Rome. The areas they ruled were either mountainous or forested, and there were not too broad plains. Even if there were plains, they were also an environment full of shrubs.
Albata opened her mouth, and there was only a sneer behind her.
Although the Persians and Romans moved towards Alliance under the pressure of the Han Empire, the hatred for thousands of years can not be eliminated so easily.
For the weaker side in the war with Rome, the Persians tried their best to suppress their hatred towards the Romans. At the same time, they also hoped that the alliance between the two sides would be closer. But it was a dream to let them send war horses to the Romans for nothing!
Marus would have the awareness that Rome needed cavalry troops. He saw the flashing sparks of the shield forming the tortoise shell array under the discharge of the rifle soldiers of the Han army.
The Roman Legion formed a tortoise shell array. In order to make each shield fit closely, they moved carefully. We can imagine how fast they could push.
They had to be careful. As long as there was a little gap in the shield wall, they could get into the hole with the dense fire of the Chinese riflemen. The fall of a Roman soldier with a shield indicated that there was a gap in the tortoise armor array.
Once there is a gap in the tortoise shell array, Roman soldiers will face more bullets, that is, a burst of blood bloom. If the gap is not quickly filled up, the tortoise shell array will face real disintegration. At that time, they will be completely exposed to the discharge fire of the Chinese riflemen.
The Chinese riflemen in the front row kept firing in rotation, and some grenadiers who got orders were separated from the team.
The Grenadier is actually a temporary role change of some riflemen. They are usually fast and flexible people. They temporarily put down their flint guns and just carry grenades or grenades.
Yan Ping was one of the Han soldiers who temporarily served as a grenade thrower. He tied a row of wooden handle grenades around his waist and twisted one in his hand. After leaving the team, he approached the nearest Roman tortoise shell array.
The battlefield, which has been fighting for more than an hour, does not look clean. There are bloody bodies everywhere. Some people killed by shelling have become mutilated bodies, and some people's limbs or internal organs can be seen.
There are not only human bodies on the battlefield, but also many Arab horses that seem to be large and muscular. Most of the war horses have died, and some lie on the ground but do not die.
Yan Ping passed by a wounded but not dead war horse. He didn't deliberately observe. It was just a coincidence to look at the war horse's eyes and see that the war horse was crying.
Just like that, falling on the battlefield does not mean that they have died. In fact, many soldiers are injured and difficult to move, or they are so scared that they can only lie down and accept the unknown fate. Naturally, they are just pretending to be dead.
"..." Yan Ping saw an enemy soldier lying on the ground unexpectedly when he was running forward. He looked at the enemy soldier and was not hurt. He hesitated and chose to change the direction of running: "this NIMA!"
A pure discovery, a Persian soldier who didn't know what purpose he was holding was lying on the ground secretly observing. He didn't have time to react under Yan Ping's "passing", he got a hit on the back of his head, and then he was riding on his body and his head was constantly knocked.
Yan Ping could have changed into a dagger, but he really forgot to change his weapon. He chose to knock with the wooden handle grenade in his hand. After confirming that the Persian soldier under him died, he wiped a bloody face and stood up and ran again.
In the course of action, the grenadiers who cruise out will encounter some things that do not kill the enemy soldiers. If circumstances permit, they will easily repair the wounded enemy soldiers. If they encounter the enemy soldiers who are unharmed but stay on the battlefield, they will inevitably go up and fight with them.
About 50 meters away, Yan Ping killed two dead enemy soldiers and six wounded enemy soldiers, avoided the trajectory and approached the tortoise shell array composed of Roman soldiers for about 10 meters, unscrewed the cover at the bottom of the wooden handle grenade and pulled at the white pull rope. The wooden handle grenade began to smoke and threw it at the tortoise shell array of Roman soldiers.
The smoky wooden handle grenade landed on the top of the shield wall composed of shields. It made a "yiyiyi" sound to count down.
The Roman soldiers who were inside the shield wall could not distinguish the knocking sound of bullets hitting the shield and the falling of wooden handle grenades under the continuous firing of Chinese riflemen.
With a roar, the wooden handle grenade on the top of the shield wall exploded. Its explosion power was to lift a large shield. The next moment, another smoking wooden handle grenade was thrown again, followed by the third and fourth... A total of six exaggerated grenades were thrown.
Yan Ping just found that he was not only throwing a wooden handle grenade, but also sweeping his body before lying on the ground. He saw that the other two comrades in arms chose this tortoise shell array as the attack target.
The constant explosion directly disintegrated the tortoise shell array composed of 100 Roman soldiers. One fell. Most of the people within three meters of the explosion were killed on the spot. If they were not hit by shrapnel outside four meters of the explosion, they would become injured.
The key is that the tortoise shell array was disintegrated. The shield wall they used to resist the discharge of guns by the Chinese riflemen disappeared. The next moment, bloody flowers appeared on the confused Roman soldiers. The soldiers in the front fell first in pieces, and then another round of discharge of guns knocked the rest to the ground.
The riflemen of the Han Army have reached a combat distance of about 50 meters. Even the accuracy of the flint gun at this distance is very unreliable. Relying on the dense platoon shooting method can still ensure the coverage, give them enough shooting time, and no enemy can stand safely.
Marus in the rear, his hands shaking with binoculars.
From marus's vision, the tortoise shell array was disintegrated one after another, and then its own soldiers completely became gun targets. If this trend continues, more than 3000 soldiers there will be reimbursed in less than half an hour.
"Give up the formation!" Albata wiped the sweat on his face: "they are the first troops less than 50 meters away from the Han Army's firearms army. They launched a decisive charge!"
In fact, the scene was so amazing that marus lost the judgment of a general. He shouted: "blow the charge horn!"
Not far behind marus stood a row of Roman soldiers with trombones and a guard of honor with military cards.
The trombone of the Stormtrooper was sounded. After the Roman soldiers on the front heard it, the Roman soldiers who had disintegrated the tortoise shell array continued to be ignorant, and the Roman soldiers who had completed the tortoise shell array shouted "for Rome!", Withdraw the shield wall to meet a group of people who fell with a row of guns. Those who did not die threw away their shields and charged forward with short swords.
Liu Shen's platoon was rotated to the front. He was a little stunned to see the Romans split the shield array, but he didn't delay ordering a volley.
Fifty meters is actually a short distance. With good eyesight, they can see each other's looks. Liu Shen has seen the Romans for a long time. He knows that the Romans are a group of people with black hair and black eyes, which is different from the Han people in the distribution of facial features. At the same time, compared with the Han people, they are shorter in height.
Roblin was the centurion of Rome. Fortunately, he was not shot by the platoon and ran hard. Of course, he looked at the Han Army in front of him. I don't know why he was attracted by a very young Han man.
[how young!] Roblin sighed and found something wrong: [why is there a wall around him, but other Han people don't.]
Liu Shen happened to look at Roblin with a "broom" on his helmet and knew that the Roman was an officer. He saw Roblin staring at himself. He didn't know what he thought. He smiled at Roblin very sunny.
"Get close to me!" Roblin can conclude that the young Han must be very noble, not only from the people around him, but also from Liu Shen's smile: "there is a noble descendant of cyris over there. We can only leave the battlefield safely by holding him!"
The Roman soldiers who greeted the hail of bullets were shocked when they heard Roblin's shouting.
In the battlefield where people continue to fall, there are two different situations: hope and hopelessness. Before, Roman soldiers charged in despair. Instead, they charged with hope, running faster and becoming more flexible.
Roblin was really lucky. There were people falling down around him, but no bullet flew within two meters of him.
"Your Highness." Yingkui found that seven or eight Roman soldiers charged in this direction and warned, "you need to step back."
Of course, Liu Shen found the Roman soldiers and smiled at the "hair sweep". He raised his chin and gave Yingkui a cold look.
Back? How could Liu Shen retreat because some people rushed to him!
In fact, the Roman soldiers who charged against Liu Shen fell down again and again. They didn't rush to a distance of 20 meters near Liu Shen. They fell to the ground without any left.
Roblin's chest was bleeding in two places. He looked at the blue sky and his mouth was full of bitterness. Before he fell, he threw the dagger in his hand, but the dagger only flew forward for more than ten meters and fell powerlessly to the ground.
The firing interval of the riflemen of the Han army was less than three seconds. Under one round of shooting after another, none of the Roman soldiers who launched the charge stood. The farthest they rushed was to approach the range of eight meters of the Han Army's rifle array, and then they became either corpses or wounded.
The drum was sounded again, and the rifleman array line continued to move forward. When Liu Shen passed Roblin, he saw that Roblin's blue eyes lost focus and looked at the sky.
The advancing riflemen found the undead Roman soldiers when they passed by. They ended the pain of the Roman soldiers with bayonets.
In a way, the Han riflemen who mended their knives were good people. Because if you are hit by a lead bullet, even if you don't die on the spot, you will suffer all kinds of torture and die painfully in the symptoms of inflammation and pus.
