Chapter 1433 The Arabian Situation (Section 104)
Faced with the attack of the entire Kopyali people, the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao was of course greatly increased the pressure. ````
After all, although the Kopyali army has suffered more than 70% of the casualties, the remaining troops can be used for combat are still more than 30,000.
Fortunately, the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xiao are all veterans who have experienced the test of European wars. They have rich combat experience, so they are not panic even when facing the attacks of the Cop Yali people.
Stay stable!
Reload ammunition!
The Imperial Army square formation was like a hedgehog, and it was ready to face the Kopjali army that attacked like a tide, and everyone's faces were very calm.
The performance of the Imperial Army soldiers was completely different from the armies of other countries.
You should know that in such an era, even the most elite and iron-blooded army will feel nervous when facing the enemy's impact.
Because this is a normal human nature, it is also a very normal physiological phenomenon and reaction.
However, like these, you can't see them at all on the faces of the soldiers of the Imperial Army.
This has to be amazing.
However, it is not surprising to think about the "weirdness" and confidence of the Imperial Army.
Yes, the weapons used by the soldiers of the Imperial Army have exceeded the weapons of various countries in the same era for a century. They have an unparalleled advantage, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army have been tested by war and are definitely not rookie Kobe.
More importantly, most of the soldiers in the Imperial Army are not genetic people with independent command thinking. They are genetic people who can only follow orders and have a little dull brain.
People like this type of genetic people have no independent thinking and thinking mode, so they can only be the leader in the army, or manage public order and maintain order in local American cities.
However, there is one advantage for this type of genetic person. That is, they can execute commands very strictly. Even if the command is strange and unreliable, they will continue to execute them desperately.
At the same time, this type of genetic person has another advantage, that is, he is fearless and dying when fighting, as if he doesn't know what pain is.
Think about it, what would it be like to fight with such an army that most soldiers are composed of like necromancers?
Needless to say, it is definitely a tragedy for those who face such an army.
If you want to be afraid of death, the Imperial Army is definitely unique.
Because it can be strictly implemented according to training and orders, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army can be maintained very high.
Those who have not yet generated independent thinking and thinking patterns can quickly load ammunition and then shoot.
Also because they are such genetic people, not to mention that only 30,000 enemies are attacking, even if they are ten times more than this basis, they will be fearless.
An existence like the Imperial Army is probably unique in this era.
Only Zhao Hongyu, who came to this era with plug-ins, can have such a weird army with plug-ins.
The Kopjali people who are now "bravely" charging do not know about all this, and even if they know this, under the current situation, nothing can be changed.
rush!
Go!
Kill me hard!
The grassroots officers of the Cop Yali people took the lead in leading the small teams they controlled to attack, and they kept yelling to cheer their soldiers.
Unfortunately, they never know that sometimes in war, once the enemy has many technological advantages that surpass you, such practices will have no effect at all.
Haven't you seen that in the next more than a century or two centuries, in another time and space, in the Boer War launched by the army of the "Pirate Island", the Boer Warriors with obvious advantages and very brave numbers. They also did not defeat the "Pirate" army with only a few hundred people.
On the contrary, were the Boers with tens of thousands of troops defeated by the "pirates" army?
This is a very obvious actual battle example.
The weapons used by the pirates at that time were basically no different from those used by the Imperial Army soldiers led by Zhang Xiao in terms of technology.
Moreover, Zhang Xiao had several times more troops than the pirate legion of the "pirates" in the Boer War.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao and the officers of the Imperial Army were of course confident and confident to resist the attacks of the Cop Yali people.
After all, there is a surprise of the times here, and this is a very huge gap. It is not something you can cross just by wanting to cross.
Moreover, there is no need to tell the obvious advantages of hot weapons over cold weapons.
Two hundred yards!
shooting!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Pungent gunpowder smoke rose up, forming a white smoke screen on the front of the Imperial Army formation.
With the gunshots, the Kopjali people holding a scimitar were knocked down like straw, and almost no one was spared.
The square formation formed by the four thousand imperial army has almost more than three hundred soldiers on each side.
In other words, every time the Imperial Army fired, the Kopyali people in the charge had to face more than 300 lead bullets.
That doesn't count!
The Imperial Army's tactic is five-stage shooting. Basically, in one minute, five-stage shooting can achieve a speed of about one and a half rounds.
If calculated at this speed, the Copyalis have to face seven rounds of volleys.
This is only at a distance of 200 yards. If they don’t move forward, they will face great casualties.
And fighting in the age of cold weapons, there is a very wonderful rule.
That is, when launching a charge, once the attack is frustrated, the vanguard of the charge will pause or retreat slightly.
This matter cannot be changed.
After all, the army is composed of people, and facing such a large number of casualties. Seeing the comrades around them fall down and cry in pain, basically no one can remain indifferent.
This has a great impact on a person.
Although the Imperial Army could not kill all the shots under seven rounds of volleys, it could achieve a death rate of more than 30%, and the rest were minor injuries.
In this era, being injured by a lead bullet from a musket is basically no different from death.
Moreover, the wounds caused by the lead bullet hit the human body are also very terrible.
Haven't you seen that after using muskets to fight, a large number of unlucky people who were injured by lead bullets died of inflammation after another Europe in time and space.
Even those who survive are missing their arms and legs.
One hundred and ninety yards!
One hundred and eighty-five yards!
Within a short five-yard distance, at least six or seven hundred people fell down by the Cop Yali people.
The Kop Yali soldiers who were in the front charge had lost the courage to continue moving forward at this time, and many people began to turn back and run backwards.
But these guys running back are not very good either.
They often fail to run a few steps and will be knocked to the ground by the opposite Imperial Army again, or be hacked to death by their own officers.
"Don't retreat! Bounce forward for me and move forward!"
A supervisor killed a soldier running back, then looked around with a ferocious look on his face, shocking the soldiers with fear and anxiety.
Under the gaze of the supervisor, the soldiers had no choice but to continue rushing forward obediently.
For the Copiari people, there is really no other way to go before they reach this point.
The Buckuts launched an attack on the other side, and on this side they also had to face the Imperial Army.
Therefore, only by defeating the enemy on one side first can they turn the situation around.
In the eyes of the Copyali people, the Imperial Army, which had a disadvantage in its military strength, was obviously a bully.
After all, although the Bukuts suffered heavy losses, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers available now. Therefore, it is safest to choose the Imperial Army with a smaller proportion to fight.
Of course, this consideration is not a mistake. However, the commander of the Copiari never expected that the Imperial Army's fighting style and weapons also had the combat power it showed. That was not something he could imagine.
This was something that was completely beyond his expectations, and with his cognition, he could not imagine these things.
Because he had to think. It was in the early seventeenth century, that is, in this era at that time.
Therefore, the attack of the Copyali people was still in the mode of this era. Even when facing the Imperial Army's musket array, they used dense crowd charges, trying to break the Imperial Army's array in this way.
Unfortunately, the Copyali commander's plan was completely lost after facing the Imperial Army formation.
Because although the Imperial Army formation was not first created by Zhao Hongyu, its effect is a formation that has been tested by the times.
In another space and time, this formation was popular in Europe for a century and shone more in Napoleon's hands.
This phalanx can not only fight against infantry, but also target the impact of cavalry and cause great damage.
Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu founded the Imperial Army, he adopted such a square array when considering the weapons he possessed.
After all, in this era, although they are fighting with cold weapons.
However, Zhao Hongyu felt that it was necessary to be careful about the "tanks" in the era of cold weapons such as cavalry.
So, this kind of square formation that was popular in another time and space was more than a century later appeared in this time and space, and became a battle formation of the Imperial Army.
Moreover, this battle formation did help the Imperial Army resist strong enemies, and also helped the Imperial Army troops achieve great results and a series of victories.
