Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1095

[Chapter 1095 Mood]

“Boom boom boom…”

The howitzers of the West-Turk Alliance Army roared.

With wooden wedges inserted in front of each, spherical hollow shells flew into the sky, flew over a distance of more than 900 meters, landed on the trench positions of the Dasong army, and exploded one after another.

There is no doubt that compared with the Dasong howitzer, which can shoot shells about ten miles away, the howitzers of the Western Turkmen Army are still far behind.

However, due to the large number of its howitzers, the instant bombardment caused several rows of trenches in front of Dasong’s trench fortifications to be covered by explosions.

It’s just that the Western natives would not have thought that their counterattack did not cause any harm to the soldiers in the trench except for blowing up a piece of soil.

Because after comparing the gap between the guns and artillery of the two sides.

Qin Shan and Guan Tong made a bold decision.

This is to dig two inner and outer circles of trenches.

The trenches in the outer circle are the trenches close to the Western Allied Forces, with a depth of about 900 meters, corresponding to the range of howitzers of the Western Allied Forces.

After that is the inner ring trench.

Between the outer circle and the inner circle of trenches, there is a blank area about 30 meters wide. Only twelve longitudinal trenches have been dug to connect the inner and outer circles so that the soldiers in the inner circle can enter the outer circle.

At the same time, a machine gun team was also arranged at the handover position of the inner and outer rings.

On weekdays, in order to confuse the Western-Turkish Allied Forces, the outer circle is also guarded by Da Song soldiers. .

But before the Dasong army launched the shelling today, the Dasong soldiers guarding the outer circle withdrew into the inner circle.

Therefore, the West-Turkey Allied Forces are really blown up now.

However, even if the Western-Turkish Allied Forces responded and sent soldiers to occupy the outer circle, they were not worried at all.

Because the trenches in the outer circle are wide and shallow, as long as the Western Allied forces come in, they will be bombarded.

Furthermore, when the soldiers in the outer circle withdrew, they also laid mines in the trenches and left marks.

Even if they step on all the mines, the soldiers in the inner circle can quickly enter the outer circle to fight back.

Moreover, since they took down the high ground on both sides of the battlefield before, they set up artillery and machine guns.

Supplemented by the flexibility of Qin-style rifles and the powerful lethality of machine guns, the outer circle will only be the graves of Western soldiers.

Of course, Qin Shan and Guan Tong believed that the Western-Turk Allied Forces would not take the initiative to attack.

The setting of the inner and outer circles is mainly to expose the position of the opponent’s artillery.

Xitu also learned to be smart after suffering from the loss of Dasong’s army.

The setting of the artillery is more concealed, and many of the artillery are covered with hay and covered with mud.

If the opponent does not fire, it is difficult to find the position of the opponent’s artillery.

“Hey, the position of their howitzers has been exposed a lot now.” Looking at the outer trench covered by artillery fire, Guan Tong laughed twice.

At this time, he was very relaxed, because the next few days will be a battle of you coming and going.

They were not going to charge until they had destroyed most of the artillery of the Western Allied Forces.

Not necessary.

After all, due to the range advantage of the artillery, they can bomb the opponent, but the opponent cannot bomb them.

Since it is cheap, it is natural to take it all.

Qin Shan nodded and agreed with Guan Tong’s statement.

Then, the two just stared at the battlefield with their arms folded.

at the same time.

In front of the field command tent of the Western Union Army behind the trench fortifications, Harriman and Wesley both held up their binoculars and watched the place covered by the artillery fire of the Dasong Army.

The difference is that Qin Shan and Guan Tong are relaxed, and both of them have solemn expressions.

After the coordinated exercise of various countries in Calcutta, they led the coalition soldiers to the front line.

During this period, except for the key garrison of the trench fortifications at the border between Tianzhu and Pyuman.

On the route to Calcutta, they selected three key points that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and set up three more fortifications.

Neither Harriman nor Wesley wanted to use these three fortifications, and they hoped to end the war here.

“Wesley, I’m beginning to believe in you. I’m afraid this will be a difficult battle.” Putting down the binoculars, Harriman was worried.

The fragmentary friction during this period was not enough to make him feel the overall strength of Da Song’s army.

But with the current barrage of guns fired, he couldn’t deceive himself anymore.

Standing in front of the tent, he could vaguely see the position of the artillery of the Dasong Army.

They grandly placed the artillery on the open ground far away, without concealing their position at all.

Normally, when the two armies are at war, they will hide the positions of their respective artillery, so as to achieve the purpose of preserving the artillery as much as possible during the artillery battle.

Therefore, what the Dasong army did was a naked mockery of them.

Because they can’t pose any threat to the artillery of the Dasong army.

“Thank you, this is just the beginning, and you will have a deeper experience later.” Wesley said thank you, but he didn’t look grateful at all, it was more like mocking.

The gentlemen of the parliament believed that his incompetence caused the failure of the Eastern Turk War.

Now Harriman could testify against him.

However, although he was dissatisfied with the parliament, Wesley still did not want this war to end in a fiasco.

After thinking for a while, he reminded Harriman, “Don’t reveal the location of all the artillery, they will be destroyed by the Dasong army soon.”

“I noticed, you don’t need to remind me.” covered up his negligence.

As Wesley said, after they counterattacked, their artillery appeared to be targeted.

Howitzers were constantly being destroyed by direct artillery fire from the opponent.

“What a bunch of bastards, let’s see how long they can blow up.” Harriman cursed again.

Then he immediately sent someone to ask the frontline commanders about the casualties in the shelling.

After learning that the casualties in the shelling had been reduced by 30% compared with those in Malacca, he felt a little worse.

Apparently, their improved trenches worked, but not very well.

Because the conical shells of the Great Song Army can hold more ammunition and are very powerful.

Many soldiers were not directly killed by the bombing, but were shocked to death.

These soldiers may have no wounds on the outside, but when they were found, they were bleeding to death from their seven orifices.

“Damn it,” Harriman cursed again.

Over the years, the British army has been rampant in the world, and they are the only ones who bully others with guns, and when they are bullied with guns.

Harriman couldn’t accept the exchange of strong and weak status at all.

Therefore, it is the same as that of many Western generals.

He was aggrieved now, and because of his previous arrogance, he always thought that they could still defeat the Great Song army.

It is also this belief that makes them willing to suffer casualties at this moment, waiting for the soldiers on both sides to fight after the shelling.

They have a large number of soldiers and are equipped with the most advanced rifled guns, which has narrowed the gap with Dasong soldiers.

They have revived the grenadiers, able to counter the grenades of the Great Song army.

They also have the native troops provided by Tianzhu Tubang as cannon fodder.

While they have disadvantages, they also have advantages.

who loses Who wins?

Not necessarily!

Thinking of this, Harriman felt a lot more comfortable.

Then he looked up and saw something seemed to be flying across the way.
