Chapter 189 Hot weapons against cold weapons
The people of the Tang Dynasty had never seen such a thing as a cannon, but they had seen thunder.
When the cannon sounded, it was not worth mentioning in Su Chen's opinion, but to people of this era, it sounded like thunder.
If Su Chen knew the thoughts of these people, he would probably smile. A mere 92 and 75mm field cannons would be called thunder. What would it be when he got a heavy cannon of more than 100mm? Is the sky collapsed?
The foreign cavalry that gradually accelerated the charge had approached a distance of nearly 200 meters. This distance was roughly the afterburner position of the cavalry's charge, but in the era of hot weapons, it had full range coverage.
Dozens of infantry artillery field cannons and mortar shells fell into the cavalry group and instantly exploded a large area.
Dozens of blood lights mixed with broken limbs, broken arms, weapons, armor and shields rose into the air, and a round of attack brought hundreds of casualties to the cavalry.
Then the sound of light and heavy machine guns sounded, the sound of rifle shooting with extremely high accuracy began, and the sound of dense shelling in the second and third rounds began.
Flying rain of bullets fell into the cavalry group, and both the people and the horses were beaten to death.
People in this era have never seen the power of firearms, and they don’t know how to lie down to avoid large-scale damage. The remaining people were stupidly trying to control the frightened horses, but they were covered by powerful firepower.
Li Heng in the distance was directly overturned to the ground by the imperial horse under his crotch. Even if the horses on the Tang army were so scared that they were neighing by the sound of cannons.
As for the guards around him, he was also in a bad position. He looked even more chaotic than the foreign cavalry who were bombarded.
This is also impossible. The soldiers in Chang'an City have been in peace for many years and have long lost the spirit of fighting to the death. What they do in daily life is nothing more than serving as a guard of honor. It is really hard to let them go to the battlefield and guard the border and fight the border with the nomadic peoples on the grassland for many years.
At this time, it was very good to see this kind of thunder in the ground and not collapse and escape directly.
While the shelling was launched, the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Waibazi light machine gun also opened fire together, pouring dense rain of bullets on the cavalry that was in chaos.
Although the firepower and performance of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, which is known for its heavy weight and funny bullet board supply, and the Taisho 11th-year-old light machine gun, which is known as the worst light machine gun in history, are all known for their bad firepower and performance. It can be used here to deal with the army using cold weapons, which is already a magical existence.
Su Chen on the dragon's back looked down at the position below him, looking at the bullet board that would be replaced after a while on the 92 style, Su Chen was really helpless and speechless.
If it weren't for the soon-to-be-tech upgrade that the base could produce more advanced weapons, Su Chen would never have used these junk goods.
When the clone army was preparing to shoot with rifles, they could no longer find anything to shoot the target.
Continuous shelling and light and heavy machine guns fired thousands of cavalry to the ground in a very short time, and the powerful modern firearms were fully demonstrated.
Tang Jun “…”
An Lushan rebels "..."
"..." at the front of Chang'an city
This powerful lethality beyond imagination deeply shocked everyone.
Apart from the wailings of the wounded and the wailing horses on the battlefield, there was silence around. Those who saw this scene were already scared, because such a super-long-distance strike was completely unheard of.
"Continue to attack." Su Chen picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order to "destroy those armies!"
With Su Chen's order issued, the clone army of only 3,000 people launched an active attack on the tens of thousands of rebels in the distance.
The infantry artillery field artillery mortars began to shoot at the maximum power, and the light and heavy machine guns swept out flames toward the rebels. The infantry clusters moved forward with the sound of military music, approaching An Lushan's army step by step.
In the era of cold weapons, the distance between the two sides of the war was only a few miles away, which was far enough to the locals. After all, it was not easy to rely on walking for a few miles.
But it was already close in the age of firearms. Not to mention artillery, even the range of rifles was far beyond this distance.
The infantry holding the Type 38 rifle stopped and raised their rifles to shoot at the An Lushan rebels who were overturning.
Su Chen raised his hand to cover his head. The infantry tactics during World War I were not trench warfare, but were queuing and shooting in a queue similar to that during the Franco-Prussian War. Due to technological limitations, the only thing the clone legion could do is queuing and shooting in a queue.
"Kill them all!" Su Chen was furious. He couldn't wait to improve his technological level. Not to mention fighting a cosmic war, he could at least drive tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, etc. and fight a blitzkrieg.
Although due to the gap in technology level, killing soldiers in the Cold Weapon Age has very little experience value, it is better for Su Chen than not.
An Lushan's army collapsed, and was covered with overwhelming artillery fire a few miles away, and was scattered by dense rain of bullets. They didn't even have the chance to resist, let alone close combat, bows and arrows were dozens of times less than the range.
This unilateral massacre cannot resist, and there is no idea of resisting.
An Lushan's rebels' combat effectiveness was far less powerful than the army during the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and they had been defeated several times after the rebellion. If it weren't for Li Longji's magical micro-cam that specifically tricked his own people, it would have been far from eight years to eliminate the rebels.
Faced with this kind of dimensionality reduction attack, An Lushan's army quickly collapsed.
Tens of thousands of people ran away in scattering like sheep driving. The flying shells were flying all over the sky and they were farewell. Every explosion would take away a wave of people.
The clone army began to pursue, but without horses, they would definitely not be able to catch up with those who were riding horses.
Su Chen put away his phone and slapped Smaug in the face, "I'm working, go down and swear."
Smaug, who had been impatient for a long time, opened his mouth and let out a long whirlwind, swung his wings and circled, and then leaned down.
It was not until this time that people on the ground discovered that a giant beast had flew into the sky. However, because they were shocked by modern weapons, the people who saw Smaug were not so shocked. After all, even more shocking things happened.
As if he had noticed that he had been ignored, Smaug's eyes turned red, and a bright flame condensed in his throat.
Smaug opened his mouth wide in the rapid dive and was facing the An Lushan rebels who were running around below, a fire dragon.
The fire dragon descended from the sky and drew a long flame passage from the fastest-running cavalry group. Hundreds of cavalrymen were shrouded in this flame.
These rebels have no experience. Faced with the pursuit of firearm troops and the fire dragons falling from the sky, they didn't know what it meant to escape in scattered places. Instead, they gathered together foolishly and were hit by the fire dragons and dense shells.
Smaug happily roared to the sky, spread his wings and flew high, then circled and roared down the sky again.
The rebels riding horses fell to the ground one after another, because Smaug's strong biological aura was so scared that the war horses trembled. They didn't dare to run anymore but fell to the ground and dared not get up.
"This......" Li Heng, who was helped up, stared blankly at the scene of war in the distance, and was shocked to the vibration mode. There were too many things that he saw beyond his imagination today, and he didn't know how to complain.
"Your Majesty." Du Hongjian said in a deep voice, "This person can be a friend, and must not be an enemy!"
Li Heng rolled his eyes and thought to himself that you think I am stupid. Only if your head is broken will you become an opponent of this kind of monster. Not to mention those heavenly soldiers and generals, even the fire-breathing monster is enough to destroy the entire Tang Dynasty army. Such an existence should not look down on the position of emperor in the world, right?
Su Chen controlled Shimaoge and sprayed a few circles of flames, completely defeating the fleeing An Lushan rebels. They forced them to escape with their feet.
Unable to find a large number of gatherings, Su Chen pulled Smaug and flew in the sky, no longer dived and blasted fire. Only the artillery soldiers in the rear were still firing continuously without caring about ammunition consumption and their lifespan. They did not care whether the rebels gathered or not, even if only one person would shoot the shells.
Anyway, Su Chen collected many arms and weapons from the Japanese world, and at most, he could produce better ones from the base after using them.
An Lushan's rebels were defeated all the way and escaped from the range of artillery to get rid of this terrible firepower. However, by this time, they could no longer run.
The army in the cold weapon era cannot be compared with the modern army. I won’t talk about food and nutrition, just training is a huge gap. Modern army has training almost every day, or has a scientifically designed training plan. It can run for many kilometers of cross-country running at any time.
In the army in the cold weapon era, those who trained once every ten days were called elite troops, and almost no one could train once every five days. The only one who can be called the Iron Army was called the Qi Family Army.
That's right, even the Yue family army cannot undergo long-term training. Only the Qi family army, which adopts military training techniques, is the only strong army in the era of cold weapons that can be compared with modern army in terms of training. This is also the reason why they can fight to the last man during the bloody battle of Hunhe.
An Lushan's rebels were obviously not such elites. They ran for several kilometers in heavy armor, and had already exhausted their strength and panted.
But they had to continue running because the clone legion with rifles was still following behind and chasing.
Although the Clone Legion's march was not fast, its endurance was far superior to these defeated soldiers. They hung them a few hundred meters away, and shot them from time to time and knocked down the unlucky guys.
According to the current trend, Su Chen had only one or two thousand pursuers, but tens of thousands of defeated soldiers had no resistance, just like prey chased by lions. With his morale collapsed, he had no courage to resist at all.
When these people were completely unable to run, their only fate was to be caught up by Su Chen's clone army and resolved one by one, which turned into his experience value.
"We have to equip them with transportation." Su Chen in the sky carefully observed the battlefield and determined to provide his clone legion with back-turning tools.
I originally wanted to wait for the upgrade and go directly to the armored transport vehicle, but now it seems that the post roads of the Tang Dynasty can also run trucks. Anyway, they are just consumables.
