The so-called heretic crusade order is very vocal and a little scary, but in front of Zhou Ming's fully firearmed army, it is vulnerable.

The first ten years of the thirty-year war.

In the broad and long battlefield, the millions of troops organized by the Christian Alliance for many times, and Zhou Ming ’s more than 200,000 conquered legions, seven wars and hundreds of small and medium wars, relying on the superb personal command art and battlefield In the staff system, Zhou Ming has won every battle.

In more than ten years, the loss of military power of the Holy Church Alliance exceeded 5 million, while Zhou Ming ’s military loss was only a fraction of the opponent ’s, which was less than 50,000.

The territorial expansion to reward military achievements after each big victory allowed the territory territory controlled by Zhou Ming to expand from 5 million square kilometers to more than 10 million square kilometers, occupying one tenth of the entire western continent.

In this battle, he lost hundreds of games, and even the top ranks, even the herds of pigs, knew that they must be taken seriously. After removing a group of generals who were sitting on the knighthood, from the middle and lower rank officers, He promoted a group of excellent officers with bravery but lower background. The promotion standards are also clear: as long as they can kill more than 10 musketeers in a battle, he will be promoted to a commander-in-chief. Thousands of generals, killing more than 100 musketeers, he will be promoted to a general who commanded 10,000 people.

If you can kill more than 1,000 musketeers in a battle, then this is a big victory that caused a sensation in the entire Holy Alliance. The leader who will wait to command this victory will be a king and commander. 10 The position of marshal of more than 10,000 holy religious alliance troops.

If the record is even higher, then he can only grant him the position of the Marshal Commanding the Million Christian Alliance Army.

Franstein, a low-ranking officer in his thirties who was born as a son of a baron, was originally an ordinary knight captain (only a dozen knights under his hands). In the splendid performance of several battles, he Under the military reward system, it quickly stood out, and in less than five years, it had risen from a small captain of the Cavaliers to the Grand Marshal of the Million Christian Church.

Through battlefield observation, Franstein found that the musketeers who conquered the Legion had a dense formation and high lethality, but there were also weaknesses, that is, the shooting interval was too long. After multiple rounds of shooting, due to the barrel heat and shooter fatigue, the subsequent shooting speed Both accuracy and precision will drop sharply. Misoperation and explosion accidents caused by a greatly improved error rate will even bring a lot of downsizing.

In the plain terrain, as long as it can withstand a maximum of five rounds of firearms and set fire within a 300-meter charge distance, enter the melee combat musketeer, the bayonet in his hand, and the lance in the hands of the knight, Just like a paper-hued tiger, it breaks in a pier.

Therefore, in several field encounters that Franstein played, as long as it was on a plain or downhill terrain that was conducive to heavy cavalry charges, concentrate high mobile forces and make a breakthrough toward a certain point of the opposing musketeer array, even if it would pay It is a heavy price, but as long as you catch the opponent's firepower even for half a second, the next battle is a close battle between the two sides.

However, what really made Franstein stand out and stepped onto the stage of history was because he discovered a fatal flaw in the Musketeer. That is, when it rains, the rate of misfire of the firearms in the Musketeer's hand will increase linearly, even if there is Some of the firearms can still be fired, but the greatly reduced power of the gunpowder makes it difficult for the cavalry to cause fatal damage even if it charges within a 20-meter shooting distance.

Franstein took his Cavaliers on a relatively flat terrain on a relatively flat terrain in the evening, and at the cost of the loss of five, he got the heads of 10 Musketeers. Created a record of annihilating thousands of people in a firearms group in World War I, and then let the senior members of the Holy Church Alliance take the seized guns and artillery for analysis and imitation, and use spy methods to learn the names of the three raw materials for preparing black gunpowder. I do n’t know the specific ratio of gunpowder, but by using three raw materials for the ratio test (the sulfur and saltpetre resources in the western side of the mainland are still available, but they are too far away from Zhou Ming), it took three years for the Holy Christian Alliance Army to form A low-profile version of a firearms unit with a population of around 5,000 was sent out and participated in actual combat.

As a result, on the battlefield, the 5,000-person firearms team, which spent a lot of money to build the Holy Church Alliance, had face-to-face firearms with the conquering army for three rounds of face-to-face fire, and finally collapsed in the breastplate cavalry. The whole army was wiped out after the chase, and the damage to the conquered legion may not be less than 500 people.

Even so, the firearms unit of the Holy Church Alliance gave Franstein great confidence, because the Holy Church Alliance Army finally has a service that can meet the conquering legion, and with the Holy Church Alliance ten times In the land and population of Yu Gangduo Kingdom (forgiving the author's bad taste, it won't be named), this consumption war will continue, even if the battle loss ratio is 10: 1, Gangduo Kingdom will not be able to sustain it sooner or later.

Moreover, the interior of the Kingdom of Steel Duo is not exactly one heart. At least there are more than 20 small grassland countries at the forefront of the battlefield. Kingdom (six old counts have died, and now they are all newcomers), and he has been in close contact with him in recent years. He even obtained some real objects of machine tools and steam engines from these six kingdoms and reversed imitations. Later, although the imitations were rough and inefficient, they were much more efficient than the craftsmen's manual work. For a time, the level of technological development within the Holy Church Alliance was closer to the Kingdom of Steel Duo.

In the upcoming decisive battle, Franstein has already contacted these six kingdoms and their affiliated forces ...

Uh ...

Western mainland, central.

The vast expanse of the Great Plains of Rock Diva has a white hill rising upright.

A whole body of forged iron, copper-plated surface, a red bottom with a fist that is thick in diameter, and a gold bottom with a height of more than 30 meters is painted with a big flag under the rose flower with crossed wheat ears, erected on the **** called "White Mountain" Above, strong wind bursts and hunting, among the thousands of military formations surrounding the arch, like a dazzling sun, attracting countless planets.

"Fight with me for more than ten years, Franstein, your growth really surprised me."

Cema stands on the top of Baishan Mountain, with wrinkles on his eyes, wind and frost on his face, white temples, and a pair of binoculars in his hand.

It was this tenacious opponent who, after causing repeated losses to his conquered legion, forced him to speed up the development of flintlock, 12-pound artillery and flowering shells, and on the infantry cavalry tactics, The hollow phalanx and cavalry wall charge tactics were improved, and the army of Franstein was repeatedly wiped out.

Franstein, who was under the "care" of Zhou Ming's focus, passed by dozens of times and almost died in the poison sword of the battlefield assassin and assassin.

Today, the unstoppable little Franstein came back again and came with a new army made by hundreds of kingdoms trying to piece together the church with the last bag of gold coins.

This new army of more than two million people includes 500,000 heavy Knights wearing double-plate armor, 500,000 firearms equipped with powerful guns and artillery, 500,000 heavy crossbowmen, and 500,000 units. A barbarian light cavalry regiment used as cannon fodder in front of the formation.

Suddenly, after seeing a new soldier behind the barbarian light cavalry regiment in the telescope, Zhou Ming was slightly surprised, like a cavalry? This is a war elephant cavalry regiment composed of more than 10,000 war elephants. These war elephants are covered with black armor, and giant monsters more than three meters high seem to be more terrifying than real-world tanks.

"This tactic is brilliant, first hit our army formation with barbaric cannon fodder, then let the cavalry keep up, then the heavy cavalry charge, and then use the heavy crossbowmen with a longer range to shoot, and finally use the firearms to sweep the tail ... this Tactics, to detonate a fully firearmed unit, theoretically, the probability of realization is very high, but ... "

This tactic, after Zhou Ming gave his Guard Corps of nearly 100,000 people a full-scale reloading of the breech reload, using a new type of breech rifle with a fixed copper shell cartridge and a pointed lead, the firing of the breech was reduced by 10 In a few steps, the shooter's blasting speed is generally more than 8 rounds, the maximum range is more than 1000 meters, and the rifle is also carved on the inner wall of the barrel, and the accuracy is greatly improved.

Coupled with the powerful 12-pound gun that can fire a flowering bomb, Zhou Ming brought 500 full rounds this time, and a round of heavy artillery bombarded, no matter what kind of arms you made in the cold weapon era, all of them turned into slag. .

"Ooooooooo ~"

"咚咚咚 咚咚 ~"

On the broad and endless battlefield, the two long-confronted legions began to move in the sound of the trumpet and the drums of war, like the wall advancing.

"￥ #% @!" The barbarian light cavalry screamed out an incomprehensible shout, and the whip desperately beat the horse to speed up.

"Bang bang bang bang!" The sound of fried beans sounded.

"Boom Boom Boom!" The heavy artillery roared together.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The barbarian light cavalrymen turned their horses upside down, as if smashed by countless laser penetrations and meteorites. In the screams, a pile of red, yellow, Garbage in white and other colors pollutes the environment here.

"Om ~ Om ~" "Chong ah!" "Ao ~! Ao ~!"

The war elephant army charged, like the battle group of tanks, it stepped thick legs, shook its proboscis, and roared, which brought great shock to the conquest army.

"Boom!" The heavy artillery began to roar again, and the flowering shells released one after another bright fireworks in the war elephant group. The sharp iron nails and high-speed fragments scattered all over the body, heavy armor, It seems that the war elephants who are not afraid of pain, the wailing and screaming of the explosion, rushing around, and entering the state of madness, are even a mess of trampling their own army.

Zhou Ming, who continuously defeated two forces in Franstein's hands, suddenly received an urgent report from a commander.

The 200 thousand six kingdoms of the right wing of the garrison and the coalition of more than 20 kingdoms suddenly rushed into battle and rushed towards the Chinese army!

"These white-eyed wolves that don't feed are full of bones!"

Zhou Ming yelled, he never expected anything from the six insatiable kingdoms, nor did he expect any help from the group of white-eyed wolves, and pulled them to the battlefield, just to prevent them from disrupting the rear.

I heard from the intelligence personnel that these anti-bones and the enemy were engaged in misconceptions, and the sudden rebellion on the spot was really normal.

So Zhou Ming put them all on the right wing, equipped with some forebore muskets that were several generations behind, and the only thing preventing them was their mutiny.

"Hit the army to do right-wing protection, and wait for the group of rebels to arrive and destroy them!"

Zhou Ming's Chinese army has a total of 300,000 people. All the most sophisticated and advanced firearms are equipped here. The 200,000 anti-guts' anti-bite is just an increase in ammunition consumption.

"Her Majesty! The left-wing legion also betrayed and did not obey the orders of the Chinese army, but accelerated towards the Chinese army closer!"

Another commander who observed the battlefield hurriedly reported.

"what?!"

This unexpected situation was a bit unexpected for Zhou Ming. He was not surprised by the rebellion of the right-wing legion, but most of the 200,000 troops of the left-wing legion were part of the vassal forces in his kingdom, and he fought south with him. For more than 20 years, he has been more trusted by him, and the equipment he has been distributing is not bad. Even these people have betrayed?

"Don't ..."

Zhou Ming thought that in order to unify and rationally use all kinds of mineral resources in the Kingdom, in recent years, he has implemented reforms in the Kingdom to convert shares into shares and mine state-owned. Although the vassals below are somewhat dissatisfied, they are converted into shares After that, the dividends won every year will not be too small, it can be said that it is still considerable, but these vassals, because of several mines, chose to betray themselves?

He has not yet implemented reforms that may cause greater changes in the county system and the separation of military and political affairs. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can't wait to rebel?

At one time, on the battlefield, Zhou Ming's 300,000 Chinese troops were jointly besieged by 2 million Holy Alliance forces and their own 400,000 rebels.

Faced with the siege of the enemy close to ten times the enemy, and the battlefield environment of the vast plains without danger, I found myself as if there was a conspiracy Zhou Ming, only to fight and retreat, the grain and ammunition in my hands were exhausted Before, he made a big encirclement and returned to Steel Duo.

But the chasing soldiers behind are like brown sugar. They are chasing after him, and they ca n’t get rid of it. On the way of retreating thousands of kilometers, they are struggling.

"Your Majesty, you go first, after we break it for you, the Kingdom can't live without His Majesty, we can die wherever we go!"

"Your Majesty, let me stop those shameful traitors! We will let them know that even if there is only a bayonet, we can kill ten of them!"

Zhou Ming did not expect that after the ammunition was exhausted, he would fight to death as his prince, actually these mercenaries and mercenaries who once regarded him as "disciplined", "greedy for fear of death", and "only recognize money", These mercenaries and mercenaries, after decades of his southern and northern wars, have wiped out those original qualities, only the thirst for military merit, the yearning for glory, and the loyal loyalty to His Majesty the King .

With tears silently sending this fearless guard unit to stop the pack of wolves and bite the tiger for himself, and finally fell down, Zhou Ming took his guard army with fewer than 30,000 people. After returning to the steel duo, after adding a large number of Guards veterans and ammunition, he immediately killed a carbine, more than thirty battles in size, annihilated 600,000 chasing troops, plus millions of enemy troops eliminated on the frontal battlefield and the way out After the Battle of Baishan, both the Holy Church Alliance and the Kingdom of Steel Duo suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted.
