Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1504 Canned
"They are coming." Shangluo covered his eyes.

The armored Northern Army rushed into the Litchi People, killing the unarmored kids with one sword. With a sharp blow, the equipment exploded, leaving only the Litchi People standing there in a daze.

Occasionally someone would fight back with the fire poker in their hand, but as long as the first shot missed, no matter whether they used stabbing or hitting with the butt of the gun, it would be useless against the armored Northern Army.

Armor is just like that. A certain separatist group in Liaodong dared to start an uprising with only 13 sets of armor, because with 13 sets of armor, they could move freely among hundreds of people without armor, and the local government could not stop them.

At this time, even the effectiveness of the musket began to diminish, because if you missed a round, you would have to spend a long time reloading it later - especially here.

Everyone here is a novice, and in the panic, they can't find a chance to reload. After all, as far as reloading is concerned, it includes loading propellant, loading projectiles, compacting, loading primer, igniting, etc. There are a total of several steps that cannot be planned, and each step takes several seconds, or even ten seconds. After the whole process, it may take two or three minutes to fire a shot, which is slower than the main gun of a battleship.

Not to mention two or three minutes, even one minute would be enough for the Northern Army to kill more than a dozen people.

A gun that takes two or three minutes to load may not necessarily hit a person at close range - after all, a lead bullet is only as thick as a finger, and not everyone can wait until the last moment to shoot. Often, they pull the trigger when the enemy starts to rush over.

In fact, the sleeve type can solve this problem to a large extent. Because the blade of the sleeve bayonet is parallel to the muzzle, it allows the musketeer to have a forward blade to maintain the psychological defense line at the last moment, and then keep the bullet in the chamber.

However, the Ming army simulated in this exercise was not fully equipped with sleeve bayonets.

"I've told them that they must choose the sleeve-type bayonet. There's nothing I can do if they don't believe me." Ge Lun said helplessly.

Shangluo had no choice but to shake his head.

In fact, the configuration of the Southern Army was determined by the four courtyards after the military expenditure was divided into four parts. Under the strong request of Shangluo and Ge Lun, the Gua courtyard chose the version equipped with a sleeve bayonet. The Lizhi people obviously saved the money to buy more cannons.

"Forget it." Ge Lun shook his head. "When they are all gone, we will just go and take over their artillery."

"So you're not only planning to eat the opponent's armor, you're also planning to grab your own equipment as well?"

"If they can't use it, then we have no choice but to use it. There's nothing we can do about it."

"Are you deliberately instigating them to buy more artillery?"

"No, no, how could this happen?" Ge Lun denied it immediately. "We are friendly forces. But then again, I didn't agree with the method of equally dividing the military funds from the beginning. Half of the military funds should be given to us, and then the artillery should be concentrated for use. They don't believe it, so what can I do?"

This was indeed discussed before - the result of the discussion was inconclusive. Each family could not accept that the other party would get more military funds than themselves, so in the end, the military funds were simply split into four parts, one for each person. Now the four families who are eating from the same pot are helping each other, which is indeed a bit difficult.
But there was no way out, everything had already happened. The party that felt that they had suffered a loss would naturally have to take it back from others. It didn't matter if they didn't get a share when the military funds were distributed, they could just take it back after they had used up all the money.

[I'm beginning to wonder if you guys will do this when you're really at war]

“It’s unlikely.”

[Why? This seems very possible.]

"The Imperial College trains censors who find faults, and this style of finding faults is indeed very censor-like. And the people present, such as Guayuan, are actually members of the Imperial Guards. The characteristic of the current court is that the various troops are not subordinate to each other. The Imperial Guards do the Imperial Guards' work, and the Army does the Army's work, not to mention that the Navy has the Marines. Even the Ministry of Rites has several brigades of rapid reaction forces, which can directly deploy troops overseas without notifying the Imperial Guards, the Navy, and the Army. There will be no friendly forces at all in the fight - and the royal army will not be so cautious in the war as it is now."

In the final analysis, the Wang Division usually fights a rich war, using firepower to suppress others. Now suddenly they are forced to fight, and everyone here can't adapt to it at first - there is no way to adapt to this problem.

Just like during a famine, if there is a 10% shortage of food, it will not necessarily end with everyone eating 10% less. The final result will definitely be a price increase until 10% of people starve to death.

The current situation is that with a shortage of 75%, some people are planning to give away the remaining 75%.

"Hey, hey, hey," Shangluo lowered his voice, "You guys are not really planning to kill the other three courtyards, are you?"

"No, no, what are you talking about?" Ge Lun waved his hand.

"It gave me a fright."

"We only intend to kill two of them."

“????” Shangluo was stunned for a moment, “Which two?”

"We have discussed with the Banana people from Southeast Asia and plan to kill the Lychee people and the Salt Bean people and then divide up their equipment. Our two families are enough because we both have well-trained warriors. It would be a waste for them to take their equipment."

“I haven’t heard you talk about this.”

"I know you, Lord Shang, have a kind heart, so I discussed it privately with the Banana People. They also agreed quite readily."

"Wait." Yang Lin lowered his voice, "How can you be sure that the Banana Man is not planning to kill our hospital and take the equipment for himself?"

"No way. If we are going to take action, we should be the first to do it."

"Are you really planning to kill 75% of them?"

"No, it's just a backup plan. Killing 50% of them is enough."

Although 50% is not a small amount, according to the secret agreement of the Second Guajiao Hospital, the combat operations of both sides will not be completed until the pit is in place.

Now we just have to wait until the other two academies are defeated due to casualties, and then we can take over their equipment.

Even as they were speaking, the Litchi people had already retreated from the back of the chariot - the people in the front row were almost all dead, and if they didn't run away they would be used as targets.

According to the plan, as long as we put those armored Northern troops in, this will work.
Suddenly, a conch shell rang out from behind. Another group of fully armed soldiers rushed forward. They were a temporary iron army formed by selecting 50 Class A-rated personnel of Lan Fang's military capabilities. They were the trump cards formed by Jiao Yuan alone, and most of the military expenditure was spent on these armored infantry.

"Hey! Why did you guys go in early? We agreed to let them go together!" Ge Lun was furious and wanted to settle the score with Jiaoyuan, but was stopped by Shangluo:
"Forget it, Madam Headmaster. Forget it."

Finally, someone decided to rush forward, whether it was to grab equipment or not, at least they were fighting seriously. This was a good thing.

When those iron men rushed past Shangluo, the clanging sounds of their armor gave people a sense of security.

Jiaoyuan is different from other places. In other places, everyone needs to be guaranteed to have a sense of participation, like in the Guayuan in Shangluo, everyone at least has a gun to play with.

But Jiaoyuan is different. When they came from Lan Fang, they had their own military capability evaluation, and were divided into A, B, C, and D. The C and D levels can voluntarily give up the opportunity to hold weapons, and only give limited equipment to the A and B levels. In fact, this is the current military construction model of Lan Fang. Although Lan Fang has all its people as soldiers, in fact, only a small number of people are selected to form combat troops, and the most elite of that small number of people will be formed into the Iron Man Army. The Lan Fang Iron Man Army is a famous elite force in the entire Ming Dynasty. Only a battalion of more than a thousand people is enough to suppress any indigenous city in Nanyang.

Everyone else just needs to watch the Iron Army play the whole game.

This time, the Jiaoyuan from Lan Fang also piled most of the resources of the entire courtyard into the hands of the Iron Man Army. They were covered with heavy armor that even covered their faces, and their iron arms and iron skirts wrapped around their bodies like iron barrels. The weapons in their hands were fine steel sabers, and they were also equipped with 4 pistols on their waists.

The weight on his body was heavy enough to pin an untrained person to the ground, but for the Class A personnel who had undergone Lan Fang's special training, this weight was just right.

As soon as the two groups of armored soldiers collided with each other, the battlefield was filled with clanging sounds.

Both sides were wearing armor, and heavy armor.

As a qualified heavy armor, the weapons on both sides have a fairly good defense against sharp weapons, and it is impossible to break the armor by chopping alone. But even if you are covered in armor, there is always a place where the defense is weaker: the head.

Even if they wore helmets, there was only a cap or lining about a finger thick between the helmet and the skull. As soon as the two sides came into contact, they no longer tried to hit the opponent's body or arms, but swung their long pole weapons to hit the head.

Ding-dong-dong, ding-dong-dong, the head and the iron shell buzzed together. Even with a helmet, the neck still bears the pressure, and the eyes and ears, these sensitive senses, cannot be completely isolated from external influences even if they are covered by the helmet.

If it hits your head with a bang, no matter whether it is a big knife or a small knife, the person in the helmet will be knocked unconscious.

The two sides fought for less than five seconds, and five or six of the previously invincible soldiers fell down. As soon as they fell, the Class B fighters behind them rushed forward, turning up their sleeves, unbuttoning their clothes, and stripping the soldiers in armor to pieces.

Neither side could kill the other, as the weapons in their hands could not do anything to the armor. However, as soon as the armored soldiers of the Northern Army fell, they would be immediately dismantled by others.

The situation was quickly reversed. The classic Lanfang Iron Army reappeared here and achieved the same good results as before.

"Oh my, wow." In Zhu Xianxun's office, Zheng Shijie was holding a cup of milk tea. "I say, Brother Huohua, I support the country with taxis, isn't that good?"

"Ha!" Zhu Xianxi couldn't bear to look directly at it. "How come these kids who were raised by my side are so cunning and sly."

Zhu Xianxin not only saw the melon yard, but also the bean yard next to it, which was also raised by him. It seemed that the bean yard was aware that it was going to be sold, and it has remained as still as a mountain until now.

"Oh my, Brother Huohua. If this continues, the children from Lan Fang will take the lead in this exercise. On behalf of their parents, I would like to thank the court for their cultivation~~"

"You" Zhu Xianxun was extremely angry. He picked up the phone again and prepared to dial Wen Yuan's number to give orders.

"The number you have dial can not be reached."

"I'm *Jinling Yayan*, this kid dared to turn off his phone, right? Captain Lu!"

"Ah?" Lu Huaiyang just went out to get tea leaves. "What's going on?"

"Send a plane! Send a plane to drop the order!"

"Ah, this is great! Sending a plane there is not in line with the context of the times."

"I told you to send a plane to drop a warrant to Wen Yuan, and tell him to turn on his phone and answer the call! Get moving!"

It's fine if I get embarrassed by others. But if I lose face in front of Zheng Shijie, that would be...
Suddenly, the situation changed.

They moved! The people in Guayuan moved! Shangluo followed them inside.

"Ah," Zhu Xianxi relaxed a little, "Sure enough, Shangluo knows what I'm thinking."

"But didn't they agree to stay still?" Zheng Shijie asked, "Why are they moving again now?"

"My junior fellow apprentice must be as anxious as I am. At critical moments, our own people are the most reliable."

[Hey, hey, hey, why are you guys charging all of a sudden? ]

“I guess it’s to steal the credit.”

Just when Jiao Yuan was about to wipe out all the soldiers, Ge Lun decisively issued an order, requiring all Gua Yuan to get out of the chariot and start charging, aiming directly at the enemy camp. Because if they didn't charge now, Jiao Yuan would take all the credit.

Shangluo didn't give any orders. He just charged forward as ordered.

When the Northern Army discovered someone rushing out from the front line, they immediately began to open fire - there was also a chariot camp over there, with sufficient defensive firepower.

However, the Guayuan who rushed out were not defenseless. In theory, this group of people were the most professional fighters.

Familiar with the history of war, they chose the most appropriate tactics: they simply formed a skirmish line.

The 362 people who rushed out did not stand in a row. Instead, they hunched over and leaped forward, taking advantage of the slight ups and downs of the ground. Some even began to crawl forward on their own using the grass.

Neither muskets nor cannons could hit these scattered soldiers - let alone muskets, even machine guns might not be able to hit these infantrymen who were advancing according to standard tactical movements. They were avoiding the much weaker modern guns and artillery by avoiding machine gun fire.

Shangluo did not fall behind either. He still had some tactical skills. Even if he had not learned it, he had seen it.

A true warrior showed his true tactical qualities as soon as he made his move. Even though they were within 100 meters, Guayuan only suffered 4 casualties, and the rest of them jumped together like groundhogs in the field, and just ran through the middle of the crossfire.
At this distance, the artillery could no longer be leveled. At this distance, the artillery could not use any direct firepower to shoot, and could only use shotgun shells to cover the enemy. Guayuan once again demonstrated his technical literacy that was ahead of its time - they crawled down and began to dig out the foxholes with a small shovel.

Zheng Shijie blinked. "I say, Brother Huohua, are your people learning too much? Is this the tactic to use in this era?"

"Why can't it be used? Very good, I like it very much. This is the way to play in style."

"But you forgot one thing. Where are the cavalry? Where have the cavalry on both sides gone since the battle? There are only scattered soldiers here, why don't we see any cavalry coming to trample people?"
