Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Oh, Shet! What kind of weapon is that!" Brigadier General White looked at the two battalions he sent out. In less than five minutes, they were all wiped out on both sides of the Chaobai River. His eyes suddenly widened and he did not dare to Confidence.

The adjutant behind him also looked in disbelief when he saw this scene.

That strange gun that makes a "click-click" sound seems to be able to fire infinitely without reloading the ammunition.

How could this kind of weapon, which seemed like it could only be seen in hell, appear in a backward country like Daxia?

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General! With that kind of strange gun on the opposite side, we can't rush to Daxia's position at all."

"Furthermore, our artillery has been completely lost, so I suggest that we retreat temporarily and return to the dock." The adjutant said to White.

When White heard what his adjutant said, although he was extremely reluctant to retreat like this. He felt that it would harm the dignity of John's empire, but he did not think of any good solution.

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General, I suggest that you consider your adjutant's suggestion. The heroic Gallic warriors should not waste their lives in this meaningless place!" Brigadier General Ryan of the Gallic Kingdom on the side also said.

"Sir Lane, you are right." White saw that Lane was also persuading him, and he took this opportunity to agree to retreat.

Even if the domestic parliament starts to hold him accountable, he can put all the blame on Ryan.

Just when White and others had decided to retreat temporarily, the artillery on the river bank could no longer hold on.

After losing more than two-thirds, John and the Gallic artillery could no longer hold on. Without White's permission, he retreated directly.

However, the artillery of the newly formed First Division did not seem to intend to just let go of the coalition artillery that also caused heavy casualties to them. So, under Zhou Chuyun's order, the artillery of the newly formed First Division began to extend, chasing the fleeing artillery and blasting them.

Of course, as these artillery troops fled, they had entered the line of coalition soldiers, and those artillery pieces would naturally affect those soldiers.

Looking at the several infantry battalions in front, which looked a little messy due to the extended artillery fire, White also knew that the order to retreat could not be delayed any longer.

"Adjutant, give the order to retreat!" White shouted, and then he and Brigadier General Lane retreated toward the rear on their own horses.

The adjutant ordered the messengers to beat the drum for retreat, and then also retreated on his own horse.

After finally hearing the order to retreat, those coalition soldiers who had no choice but to stand there due to military orders finally let go and ran back desperately.

Brigadier General White took the lead in running away, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He looked back at the distance he had run and found that he had run at least four or five kilometers. At this time, the artillery fire of the newly formed First Division had also extended for more than four kilometers.

He calculated the distance from the artillery position of the newly organized 7.5st Division to the east coast of four kilometers. In total, the distance between the two places was more than [-] kilometers.

Thinking of such a long distance, White's whole body trembled, and he finally realized that something was wrong.

The field artillery of John's country has a range of only 6.5 kilometers, which is one kilometer less than the range of Daxia's artillery.

Don't think that this kilometer is nothing special. On a real battlefield, this kilometer is enough to determine the outcome of the entire battle.

Just imagine, when the enemy's artillery can launch a fierce artillery attack on your side one kilometer away, and if you want to be able to attack the opponent, you can only brave the opponent's artillery fire and push forward one kilometer. , and then build artillery positions.

I'm afraid not many people in this world can fight in such an environment.

As for the research and development of artillery, the Western countries located in Europe have always been at the forefront of the world.

Although White dare not say that his country's artillery is the best in the world, it is definitely among the top five in the world. But now a big summer suddenly appeared, and their artillery casually hit 7.5 kilometers, which had to surprise White.

"Damn it! Those damn intelligence agents! Didn't they even discover such important information? If I can return to the country! I will definitely complain to the parliament! Those damn intelligence agents must be responsible for this incident!" White shouted viciously. He cursed loudly.

At this time, White suddenly saw a scene that frightened him.

On the other side of that damn iron bridge, there were already many soldiers from the newly formed First Division, who had rushed across the iron bridge and were chasing them towards them.

Through the telescope, he could clearly see that the newly formed soldiers of the First Division had bright bayonets stuck in their rifles and they were charging towards him.

Just as Brigadier General White ordered his men to stop and block the soldiers of the New First Division who were rushing over, but before his order could be issued, he saw a group of New First Division rushing out from the woods on both sides of him. Soldier.

He has even seen that among the soldiers who rushed out, there were many groups of three people who stopped sprinting forward after reaching an average distance.

Instead, one of the soldiers slammed something similar to a tripod he was carrying onto the ground, and then another soldier fixed a cylindrical object on the tripod.

The last soldier pressed a long object into the cylinder one by one. Then he saw the cylinder object making a "da da da da" sound, accompanied by a half-meter-long tongue of fire.

The closest John soldiers fell down.

Only then did White finally understand what that cylindrical thing was.

But at this time, it was too late. He only felt a pain in his chest and his consciousness became a little blurry. He knew that he had been shot.

White's body fell off the horse, which directly frightened the soldiers around him. They could not imagine that their commander was killed by the enemy on the first day of the war.

At this time, the soldiers no longer cared about military discipline and rules, and just thought that they could escape quickly.

But no matter how fast they run, how can they outrun bullets?

As mentioned before, Lin Yi received one hundred Maxim heavy machine guns and one hundred Schneider 75mm artillery pieces during the two months of signing in.

The hundred artillery pieces were gathered together by Lin Yi and used together to form a running group directly under the division headquarters, but the hundred cannons of Maxim were split into two parts by him.

Fifty of the heavy machine guns were placed in front of him to block the coalition's attack, and the other fifty were assigned to the soldiers of the newly formed First Division who were encircling them from behind.

This means that the soldiers rushing out of the woods on both sides now carry fifty heavy machine guns.

These fifty heavy machine guns formed fire blockades. Anyone who tried to pass through these blockades would pay the price with their lives.

Those coalition soldiers were surrounded by the newly formed division. Those soldiers had begun to despair. They did not think they could break out of the encirclement.
