Valley Emperor

In the history of human warfare, there have been several major changes, each of which has caused huge changes. According to these changes, it can be roughly divided into ancient armies, modern armies, and modern armies.

The obvious feature of the ancient army was cold weapons, but even in the era of cold weapons, there was a huge change, that is, the emergence of horseshoe iron and saddles, making cavalry the most impactful and mobile on the battlefield. , the arms that can dominate the battlefield.

In the era of cold weapons, except for the emergence of cavalry, other major changes are small changes. Although there will be innovations, they will not cause earth-shaking changes.

The emergence of guns is definitely a major innovation after the cavalry became the main force!

Artillery and muskets, swords, spears, armor, bows and arrows, and almost all weapons in the cold weapon era have been swept into the garbage heap of history, and are a special term that created the modern army.

The modern army has dominated the war for hundreds of years, and during this period, various changes have been carried out. From arquebus to flintlock gun, to Mini rifle, to rear-loaded rifle, artillery has become more and more advanced, and the front-loading has become more and more advanced. After loading, the shells are also changed from solid bullets to wooden fuze grenades, metal fuze grenades, and even the navy has changed from wooden warships to steel warships.

However, the above changes are still inseparable from the category of the modern army!

It was not until the emergence of machine guns, rapid-fire artillery, tanks, airplanes, radio communications, and aircraft carriers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that it led to another great change in the mode of warfare, and entered the era of modern warfare.

And this modern warfare mode, which was started before and after World War I, has continued to this day. Although more advanced guns, artillery, tanks, aircraft, communication technology, etc. appeared later, in essence, all of this was done before and after World War I. Laying the foundation is nothing more than more advanced.

And now in the middle of the sixteenth century, it was out of the transition period between the ancient army and the modern army, whether it was in the West or the East, this was actually the case.

The Ming army in the Eastern War was also a force that used a lot of firearms. Fusang across the sea also introduced and used a lot of so-called iron guns during this period, um, it was actually arquebus.

In the West, arquebuses have also become standard, but they are still in a transitional period, because in contemporary Western wars, the tactics represented by the Spanish phalanx are still popular, and spearmen are still indispensable.

Against this background, countries and militaries that fail to keep up with the times will be left behind, and they will be beaten up!

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty has a wise and great emperor, Li Xuan, who is greater than the sun. Under his leadership, the Tang Dynasty pioneered the use of arquebuses and spears to combine infantry tactics, and vigorously developed artillery. , This also led to the fact that the King of the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand in the War of Unification in China, and finally defeated the Ming Dynasty through years of war.

During this period, the Zhengde Emperor in the Ming Dynasty and the ruling factions represented by Zhang Yue and Wang Yiqi were not reconciled to failure. They were also humbly learning and imitating the Tang Dynasty to form a modern army. Unfortunately, they did not succeed. Yu Lan, finally lost in battles, leading to the collapse of the entire empire.

In this series of unification wars, the Tang Dynasty did not stop. After they tasted the sweetness of new weapons and new tactics, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to develop more advanced weapons, and to study and match new weapons. Therefore, flintlock guns appeared, short-barreled heavy howitzers appeared, and now wooden fuze shells appear, and even steam engines appear.

This series of investments made the Master of the Tang Dynasty once again stand at the pinnacle of the war arena!

Li Xuan has every reason to believe that with the flintlock guns and howitzers, the Datang Army will not encounter any opponents on the ground. At the same time, after the steam engine matures, the warships equipped with steam engines will not encounter opponents on the sea!

And these are the source of his confidence to conquer the world!

Conquering the world with technology, and ruling the world with population and culture, this is Li Xuan's always firm philosophy!

Today, on Yakushima, the Datang Navy once again slaughtered the pirates on Yakushima with weapons and tactics that had been leading the world for decades!

Although these pirates and the warriors of the Ganfu clan were also very brave, they dared to take the initiative to attack, but this kind of bravery became meaningless under the fierce shelling of naval guns.

When there is only valor and no advanced weapons, valor is useless, and when there are advanced weapons, it is useless without valor.

To win a war, both valor and advanced weapons are indispensable.

It's a pity that today's Zhang Linong has no way to show his bravery, because the shelling of the naval artillery is too violent. The bombardment of dozens of artillery pieces directly caused the pirates and warriors of more than 500 people to completely collapse!

Can this not collapse? They haven't rushed over yet, but they were hit by such a violent artillery shell, and during the shelling, they directly killed and injured hundreds of people.

Although they are brave, they can still continue to fight with more than half of the casualties under certain specific circumstances, and even the last soldier in the battle, but what makes them even more panic is the powerlessness brought by naval gun shooting!

They didn't expect this situation at all before, they thought it would be a battle between infantry, so as long as they rushed forward bravely and fought.

However, the fleet of the Datang Navy did not give them this opportunity. On their way to charge, they killed and wounded hundreds of them and made them panic.

This battle is over!

This was the idea of ​​almost all pirates and samurai at that time!

So, they ran, and ran at a faster speed than when charging, so fast that the subsequent extended shelling of the naval guns could not catch up. After the naval guns adjusted their angles and prepared for the second round of shelling, they ran early. 's clean.

The troops led by Zhang Linong did two things in this battle: preparing for the battle, watching the play, and then, no more!

The landing force led by Zhang Linong did not shoot even a single shot, and the enemy collapsed under the bombardment of naval guns!

This made Zhang Linong feel happy and speechless!

What is speechless is that this battle is coming so fast that it has nothing to do with him at all, which means that he has no military exploits at all.

Fortunately, my troops can land safely without firing a single shot, and looking at the miserable appearance of the opponent being bombarded by naval artillery, it is estimated that when he leads his troops to completely occupy the port and control the entire Yakushima Island, he should not be attacked. If there is too much resistance, this is a great benefit for the battle after the landing.

At the same time, Rear Admiral Feng Qirong, commander of the Ryukyu Squadron, was also in a good mood when he saw that the two frigates under his command had directly defeated the incoming pirates through violent artillery bombardment, and the landing troops suffered no losses.

You must know that this landing operation was led by the navy alone, and there was not even a single person from the army among the personnel who came to Fusang.

Needless to say, the warships and sailors in the fleet are naturally navy officers and soldiers, and the marines who landed operations are also navy officers and officers, and if they come to such a far place to fight, even if one is killed or injured, it will make his heartache, because these are all navy officers and officers. !

Immediately, he issued an order to credit the two frigates participating in the artillery support mission. Whether it was the captain or other officers, or ordinary sailors or gunners, all credits were made. Although this kind of credit is not a big one, but in today's this In peaceful times, it is not easy to get this kind of credit, especially for those officers, with today's military exploits, it will be of great benefit for subsequent promotions.

For example, the two captains can record such a paragraph on their resumes. On April 18, Xuanping eight years, they led their ships to support the land and defeated 500 pirates!

After defeating the active counterattacks of the pirates, the atmosphere in the entire fleet was quite relaxed. Several warships were still moored on the shore to provide land fire support at any time, while the marines continued to land on these small boats. .

The entire landing time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ lasted for several hours. During this process, not only did the 800 marines land, but also a lot of ammunition was transported and scattered with them. Cannonball.

As for the field artillery, it is too heavy, even if it is a five-pound field artillery, it is impossible to transport it by those small boats, so we can only wait for the pier to be occupied before making plans.

Therefore, Zhang Linong also formulated the latest battle plan. He did not lead the troops to attack other places on the land, nor did he pursue the pirates who fled, but marched east along the coastline, because there was the dock!

As long as the pier is captured, the field guns loaded on the transport ship can be unloaded. In this way, his marines will not use the naval guns to provide support at any time, but have their own artillery power!

However, when they went to the pier next, they inevitably encountered some resistance. Those pirates were obviously unwilling to fail. Hundreds of people gathered near the pier to try to resist, and they also used the buildings on the pier very cleverly. , used to evade naval artillery fire.

After the fleet tried several rounds of shelling, although the buildings on the dock were smashed to pieces, it did not cause any obvious casualties to these pirates. Obviously, they also learned to be smart and did not dare to put themselves in the ship. Under the direct hit of artillery fire.

However, Zhang Linong felt a little excited about this, because this was the time for his marines to show their power. Although the battle against Yakushima was not a big one, and the credit was not much, it was impossible to let all those warships give After taking it away, his marines will have to share some of the credit!

Immediately after communicating with the fleet with the semaphore, he began to command the eight hundred marines to attack the dock!
