From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 356: war machine

On the battlefield full of corpses and scattered weapons, the Xiliang cavalry drove the human prisoners of the Ottoman Empire to the rear like a flock of sheep.

All prisoners of war who could not run or were slow were beheaded on the spot by the Xiliang cavalry. As a result, these prisoners of the Ottoman Empire gathered to the rear of the Ming army at the highest speed...

The Xiliang cavalry used this method to quickly gather the Ottoman prisoners of war in the rear. A group of deserted grave guards took care of the unarmed Ottoman prisoners of war, and the Xiliang cavalry was re-divided into two arrays.

There is no way, the Ming army is small, and the whole team must be kept shrinking at all times to gather the army and not disperse, to deal with the offensive of the Ottoman Empire.

The tactics like the kind of direct attack on the handsome flag of the Ottoman Empire are not practical at all, because looking around, there are densely packed heads between Richard's Xiliang cavalry and Youan handsome flag.

Even if these people didn't do anything, even if Xiliang Iron Knight rushed over, it would be enough to exhaust the horsepower of Xiliang Iron Knight!

What's more, Richard discovered before the start of the war that the closer the Ottoman Empire was to Shuaiqi, the more rigorous the formation of the Ottoman Empire. Obviously, You An put all the elites by his side...

As for the two-headed giant to charge alone, it is not realistic. The two-headed giant is very strong, and there is no one enemy wherever he goes, but after all, he has only one. Once he falls into the vast sea of ​​Ottoman Empire, he will be cut off from the Ming army. Contact, when the time comes, the Ottoman army can completely drag the two-headed giant with a group of cannon fodder, and send other teams to attack Richard's own troops.

Because of this, Richard has always ensured that the two-headed giant and the Xiliang cavalry of the headquarters are not out of touch and cooperate with each other in fighting.

However, Richard frowned when he saw dozens of guns similar to three-pound field guns launched by the Ottoman army.

Artillery is the biggest advantage of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force against the Ming Army!

Regardless of the fact that the Ottoman Empire is very superior in weapons and equipment to the Shangming country, in fact, the Ottoman Empire has the lowest firearm development in the human kingdom on the European side.

While the human empire generally upgraded the infantry field artillery to the standard 6-pound field artillery level, the Ottoman Empire was still using the outdated 3-pound infantry field artillery.

This is not just a difference in caliber, there is also a huge gap in the range and lethality of artillery, and even the probability of blasting the chamber is higher!

With the technical support of the dwarves, the human empire has developed cheap and stable cast iron field guns. Except for the service life, other performances are no different from bronze artillery, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of various artillery.

The war is fought with money and population, and the cost of artillery has come down. Naturally, the number of artillery in various human countries has increased dramatically!

On the other hand, the Ottoman Empire still used old and backward small-caliber bronze field guns. The reason why the Ottoman Empire built so many heavy and destructive siege cannons was actually to make up for the lack of artillery firepower.

Because the Ottoman Empire has been completely crushed by the European human kingdom in terms of field artillery technology, but the European human kingdom generally builds diamond-shaped fortresses. The Ottoman Empire can only rely on the low technical content and simply increase the weight and caliber. Large-caliber siege cannon to make up for it.

This large-caliber siege artillery has very high requirements for transportation. There are even tens of thousands of slave soldiers in the Ottoman Expeditionary Army that are specially used to pull the siege artillery!

Of course, this is not to say that the European human kingdom could not build a larger-caliber siege cannon, but they felt it was unnecessary, because the human kingdom’s 12-pound field artillery can perform as well as the Ottoman’s 24-pound siege cannon. The power of!

This is the generation gap between the artillery technology of the two sides...

Due to the poor artillery technology of the Ottoman Empire, the field artillery was silly and thick, so it could only use 3 pound field guns. After all, the small-caliber field guns had low technical content and were easy to imitate.

The 3-pounder field artillery is also the standard infantry support artillery of the Ottoman Empire, which can be used for mobile operations with synchronized troops.

In addition to the 3-pounder field guns, there are also a lot of messy old artillery pieces that have been in service a hundred years ago. These artillery pieces are heavier than 3-pounder guns, not as far as 3-pounder guns...

There were many artillery styles in the Ottoman Empire. Because of the inadequate casting technology, the defective rate remained high, so as long as the old artillery used before can still be used, there is no waste...

The total number of these artillery pieces is dozens of pieces, and Juan of the Ottoman Empire is also a veteran who has seen European battlefields. He naturally understands the principle of centralized use of artillery!

Especially when dealing with the thick-skinned two-headed giant in front of him, Euan worried that the artillery might not be powerful enough, so naturally he had to concentrate the artillery use as much as possible!

As soon as dozens of artillery came out, Richard's attention was caught, and he immediately became the main target of the two-headed giant and Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

As before, the two-headed giant took the lead in launching a charge ~www.wuxiahere.com~ with his hands around the thick wooden stake that was not symmetrical to his body.

When encountering the human infantry of the Ottoman Empire, a single sweep can basically defeat a phalanx of hundreds of people!

However, Youan also knows the importance of artillery, and the thickest cannon fodder is naturally placed in front of the artillery position!

Although these human servants can't stand up to much effect, they can win precious time for the artillery positions to arrange and aim!

As a result, before the Xiliang Iron Cavalry launched a charge, the first round of three-pounder shelling came over!

The two-headed giant kept flying by solid iron bullets. Due to logistical pressure and maintenance problems, most of the Ottoman expeditionary forces carried solid iron bullets and shotguns.

It can be seen from the accuracy of the shells that the quality of the Ottoman artillery is really bad...

After dozens of cannons were fired, only one solid iron bullet hit the double-headed giant!

However, it was this iron bullet that smashed the two-headed giant's chest into a blood pit and knocked him back a few steps!

After the two-headed giant pulled out the iron bullet inlaid on his chest, the blood pit soon became full of granulation and began to slowly heal. Genevieve behind Genevieve left sweat beads on his forehead for the first time. Obviously, this healing took a lot of money. magic!

Immediately afterwards, Genevieve took out a crystal ball, which contained the magic power that she had previously refined the remnant souls of intelligent creatures to transform. After receiving the supplement of the crystal ball, Genevieve's lost magic immediately returned to fullness.

The blood pit on the two-headed giant on the other side is also restored!

Seeing this scene in the distance, You An couldn't help but hear what he had heard in the old world-this is not an ordinary two-headed giant, but a cursed two-headed giant refined by vampires with undead magic!

In this low demons world, Euan is the first time to see the ‘War Machine’ that can only be used in the World of Warhammer!
