Chapter 828 Launch the Charge (3/4)
The proud Rajput cavalry of the desert kingdom were too frightened to move. They were far away from the horizontal line of death, lingering far away, not daring to go any further.
"The goddess is above, is this an artifact?""
Alicia looked at the existence in front of her in disbelief.
If facing the volley of muskets, she could still have a bit of luck, then facing Maxim in front of her, Alicia felt that she had only endless despair.
The army of the desert kingdom has been frightened by the power of Max Qin. Although the power of the artillery has already made them very scared, but in terms of the efficiency of harvesting human lives, it is the Max Qin machine 520 gun in front of them that makes them feel more. Shock.
After all, one cannonball kills a dozen people, but the continuous machine gun fire is more like the scythe of the god of death, mercilessly harvesting rows of soldiers, never tires.
Fane Khalid hadn't even given the order to retreat. The soldiers on the battlefield could no longer bear this suppressed and terrifying anger, and began to flee to their own positions on their own initiative.
The recruited light infantry took the lead in throwing away the weapons in their hands, and they scurried around, as if they were headless flies.
The trained infantrymen of the desert kingdom are better, they can still remember to hold the musket in their hands when they run back.
The best retreat discipline belongs to those Rajputs, whether they are heavy cavalry or samurai, they can still maintain a certain organization to retreat.
Ye Du looked at the desert kingdom soldiers who were slowly retreating, and waved his raised arms down fiercely.
"Army attack!
"Whoa!"
The Pros soldiers, who were equipped with bayonets, immediately climbed out of the trenches and charged towards the desert kingdom's position.
Boom boom boom!
At the same time, the artillery that had just ceased fire roared again, but this time, the artilleryman raised the angle and aimed further away, so as not to accidentally injure his own people who were charging.
"If it was an Armstrong cannon this time, the effect would be better, right?" Ye Du thought with regret.
The Armstrong cannon, as the name suggests, is a breech gun invented in England in the 19th century.
This breech gun is extremely powerful and has a very long range, and has an overwhelming firepower advantage compared to the previous breech guns.
Ordinary solid shells are like a large shot put, which can penetrate the human body at most, but Armstrong's breech shell can easily blow people into two pieces.
It can be said that Armstrong is a very powerful breech artillery.
But relatively, the technical requirements it needs are also very high.
Unlike the improvement of the musket, the breech modification only requires a skilled old worker and a tool. A standard Armstrong gun requires quite advanced industrial technology, such as stirring furnace, rolling mill, heating, etc. Large-scale complete sets of industrial equipment such as furnaces, water hammers, etc. are required.
You must know that John Bull, the most advanced industry in the past, could only produce this kind of artillery in the most advanced factories in the country.
Therefore, Ye Du should not think about it for the time being. Based on the current industrial level of the Kingdom of Pros, let's wait for another ten or eight years. Now it's better to stick to a simple breech gun.
After giving up this unrealistic idea, Ye Du turned his attention to the battlefield ahead and observed the situation.
