Chapter 791: The Old Sparrow Who Doesn't Pay Attention

Declare war?

Daming now pays attention to fighting whoever he wants, anyway, the opposite side must be all kinds of fiascos, complete defeats, and then be sold piglets, and it is a waste of time to seriously declare war with those five scumbags, isn't it?

There is a saying in the future that is very suitable for these situations in front of us - just do it!

In Emperor Chongzhen's vision, it was the first time that air forces composed of airships or hot air balloons would launch an attack in batches, and vertical strikes would be carried out directly from the air.

Moreover, the air forces of the Ming Dynasty have a huge advantage that others can never compare, because in this era, the concept of ground air defense has not yet appeared.

Even if it is replaced by the Ming Dynasty's guard, it is definitely not easy to kill the enemy in the air, even if it is thrown into the air with a big killing weapon such as the Eight Bull Crossbow, it may not be able to pose a threat to the hot air balloon.

After the vertical strike of the air forces, it was the turn of Mr. Cannon to speak, and the supply ships of the three fleets carried ammunition supplies could theoretically plow London twice.

Then there was the cavalry unit to slaughter the remnants of the soldiers.

The cavalry similar to the tank armored forces of later generations was not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in England, but the cavalry units in England still had the ability to counterattack the cavalry units of the Ming Dynasty after being bombarded by artillery?

In the end, of course, the infantry collected the corpses - Emperor Chongzhen did not believe that the English army could have many people left after the three-dimensional attack of the air, artillery, cavalry, and seaside naval artillery.

Liu Wenbing was surprised, but Zhang Zhiji felt normal.

There are too many times when this master does not play cards according to common sense, and it is not a matter of scaring people once or twice, and now he wants to scare a mere English barbarian, and he has to officially declare war?

If this lord officially declares war on the English barbarians, what will the Tatars think? What does Lin Dan Khan think? What do the monkeys think about the Li family, Lord Zheng and Lord Ruan?

After all, those Annam monkeys, the Tatars, and Lin Dan Khan still have a little bit to do with the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't just say what he said and overturned them?

When the first cannonballs fired by the battleship with a sharp whistling sound streaked across the sky and landed in the ports of England, hot air balloons and airships rose from the fleet brought by Emperor Chongzhen.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen was also helpless.

After the surname Yun crossed back to Datang, he could make a plane with a sixty-four engine, but Daming didn't have this ability, and he couldn't even make a one-gear earthen plane.

In desperation, Emperor Chongzhen had to let the Royal Academy ponder while making a large number of hot air balloons and airships, which was better than nothing.

The hot air balloons that took off in the air, in addition to the soldiers responsible for manipulating the balloons, were a large number of grenades, which were different from the grenades used by the ground guards, and the grenades on these hot air balloons were modified.

Except that the lead has become longer and the detonation time is longer, the rest is no different, anyway, the additional steel balls and iron nails added to it are exactly the same product.

Although the length of the lead is specified and the amount of gunpowder added is exactly the same, the detonation time of the grenade thrown down after the string is pulled is still the same, after all, the time when the soldiers throw the grenade is not exactly the same.

As a result, some of the grenades exploded just after landing, while others exploded in the air at a distance of three to five meters above the ground.

And it was these volley-blasted grenades that brought far more damage to the English than they could have imagined.

It is said that war is the best way to promote the development of science and technology, and actual combat is the best teacher of war.

The so-called foxholes are actually individual bunkers, which are used to provide certain protection for the soldiers themselves, especially for the locust-like covered shelling of the Ming Dynasty, and the foxholes can reduce the casualties of soldiers to a large extent.

However, foxholes can greatly reduce the damage caused by the Ming covered shelling to the English soldiers, but it cannot effectively prevent the artillery and ammunition stored on the ground from being shelled.

Then ground fortifications, bunkers and trenches appeared.

The ground fortifications were used to camouflage artillery and artillery shells, and the trenches were used to hide the ammunition of the soldiers and muskets, so that the Ming shelling would be largely ineffective.

The unskilled gameplay was quickly learned by all the Europa barbarians - the entire continent was at war almost every day, and this method of effectively reducing casualties was exactly what everyone needed.

However, no one expected that the blow would come from the sky.

The blast wave from the grenades that fell and exploded one after the other, as well as a large number of explosive packets, was almost negligible, and was of little significance unless it landed right inside the trench.

However, those scattered fragments are the real deadly soul hook ropes, because even the Royal Academy, which invented them, cannot effectively control these fragments and the steel balls and iron nails inside, and where they fly is completely fateful.

The guards who had already formed a formation on the battleship looked at the hot air balloons that kept dropping small black dots in the sky, and the envy and jealousy in their hearts were almost impossible to describe in what words.

They are also soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and among all the military expenditures of the Ming Dynasty, the army accounts for the largest proportion, followed by the navy, and finally these bastards in the sky.

However, the fact now is that the Navy fired the first shells, and these bastards in the sky then reached the battlefield and dropped the first grenade.

And their own army can only stare at the battleship, watching the bastards of the air force show off their military strength there.

Shen Zhenjiang's face was not very good-looking, so gloomy that he could almost wring out the water, turned his head to look at Zhang Shixingze next to him, and finally couldn't help asking: "Is there any good way to deal with those old sparrows flying in the sky?" ”

Zhang Shize shook his head and said, "No." Eight bull crossbows can't reach them, and it is difficult for artillery to hit them, which means that these people are almost invincible in the sky. Unless ......"

Shen Zhenjiang said: "Unless what? If you don't hurry up and think of a way, although those old finches are in the same group as us, but we turtles who can only run on the ground really have no status. ”

Zhang Shize squinted his eyes and said: "Theoretically, artillery can hit them, but the speed at which these people move in the sky seems to be slow, but in fact it is very fast, and it is difficult to get artillery to aim at them."

However, you don't have to worry, since this kind of hot air balloon has been made, the Royal Academy will definitely figure out how to kill them, otherwise when the barbarians learn it, it will be the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies that will have a headache. ”

Shen Zhenjiang snorted, his eyes swept to the fleet next to him again, and the urge to scold his mother became stronger and stronger.

The army of the Ming Dynasty is invincible, no matter who comes, this must be admitted, but once it is on the real battlefield, the army soldiers feel very embarrassed in their hearts.

In addition to the old finches flying in the sky, there were also a large group of sea turtles in the sea, each with hundreds of cannon barrels stretched out to dump cannonballs on the enemy's land.

There are also those four-legged cavalry - the cavalry is okay, but it is also in the army establishment, otherwise the army will really die of embarrassment!

After forcibly enduring it for a long time, Shen Zhenjiang couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take for our turn?" ”

Zhang Shize raised his wrist and looked at the watch given by the eldest princess on his wrist, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile: "What's the hurry?" It's just ten o'clock in the morning, and by the time it gets around twelve. ”

At this time, Shen Zhenjiang had lost his composure in front of his subordinates: "Twelve o'clock? Just wait until two o'clock and wait for the brothers to finish eating! ”

Zhang Shize still smiled: "No problem, let the logistics side cook for a while, and then go on when you are full." ”

Almost a mouthful of old blood sprayed on Zhang Shize's face, Shen Zhenjiang said entangledly: "Little grandfather, do you know that this is not what the humble position means, isn't it the urgency to wait for the humble position?" ”

Zhang Shize snorted coldly and said, "If you are in a hurry, I am not in a hurry?" What's the use of being anxious? Can you stop the flocks of old finches in the sky, or can you stop these sea turtles in the fleet?

Tell you, as far as the grenades and explosives brought by the grandchildren in the sky, it would be good if they could throw them away before twelve o'clock, do you expect them to return early?

And those grandsons of the fleet, they want to shoot a few more shots, who cares if you and I are waiting here? Damn, if it weren't for the cavalry of this Ming army, it would have become a corpse collection team sooner or later! ”

Zhang Shize's complaints made Shen Zhenjiang stop.

This is the situation, the matter is such a thing, no one can change it, the two stinky hooligans of the Air Force and the Navy occupy the sky and the sea, and the Army will not be of use at all until the last moment.

Shen Zhenjiang asked himself, even if he was the leader of the hot air balloon, it was impossible to throw the grenade early and come back, and it would be impossible to make a good profit.

After all, there are only so many opportunities to go to the battlefield, and there are only so many military merits, even if the Air Force and the Army belong to the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces.

There is still a fight between the various guards and generals, and it is not uncommon for people to have this kind of thing to make military merits, and it is not uncommon for people's brains to be beaten into dog brains, and no one will let anyone.

The scene that Shen Zhenjiang was most unwilling to see still appeared.

The Air Force's goods really didn't have a good thing, from throwing Huanshi at the beginning to slowly throwing grenades down, the Air Force's group of grandsons perfectly interpreted what it means to delay time.

And the Navy is even less of a good thing.

The naval fleet that blocked almost the entire coast of England was like playing a game, with one ship firing a shell and the next one picking up, and the end result was that the ships as far as the eye could see were firing non-stop.

After the army soldiers who had gathered on the deck of the battleship had eaten and rested for half an hour, the sound of the cannon slowed down, and then slowly stopped, until there was no more sound.

Shen Zhenjiang, who was about to fall asleep on the horse, suddenly came to his senses, raised his head suddenly, and planned to beckon Zhang Shize to move forward together.

However, when Shen Zhenjiang turned his head to look at Zhang Shize's location, he found that Zhang Shize had already taken the lead and rushed to the pallet between the boat and the dock.

After secretly scolding Zhang Shize in his heart for not paying attention to it, Shen Zhenjiang turned his head and shouted, "Follow Lao Tzu!" ", and then rushed out after Zhang Shize.

When he arrived at the dock and looked at Zhang Shize, who was standing in front of the horse, Shen Zhenjiang asked after beating the horse: "Little grandfather?" ”

Zhang Shize stretched out his finger and pointed to the scene in front of him, and then stretched out his finger to the hot air balloons that were going away, and scolded: "He is his mother!" ”

Zhang Shize knew that he shouldn't be so angry, let alone scold those people in the hot air balloon unit, because he would also be mixed in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armed Forces in the future, whether it was the Air Force or the Army, he should treat everyone equally.

However, Zhang Shize just couldn't help the anger in his heart.

What did you just say? Doesn't it say that sooner or later the army will become a corpse collection team?

With the scene in front of me, it doesn't take any morning or late at all, now I can fucking transform into a corpse collection team and clean up the mess for the grandchildren of the Air Force and the Navy!

Shen Zhenjiang looked at the scene in his eyes suspiciously, and couldn't help muttering, "This is the end?" ”

Glancing at Shen Zhenjiang, Zhang Shize said, "It's over, otherwise what do you want to do?" ”

Raising the horsewhip and pointing at an English soldier in the distance who looked intact but was lying on the ground without knowing life or death, Zhang Shize said: "Have you seen it, it was shocked, it looked intact, and the internal organs of the whole person were estimated to have been completely shaken."

I guess the ones in the trenches are not much stronger than this, maybe even worse than this guy. ”

Shen Zhenjiang snorted, then gently knocked the horse's belly, urging the war horse to move forward slowly.

Walking next to this soldier who didn't know life and death, Shen Zhenjiang knew that what Zhang Shize said was the truth - although the whole person seemed intact, the tragic situation of bleeding from the seven orifices had already explained the cause of this person's death.

When he arrived next to the trench, even though he was a battle-hardened Shen Zhenjiang, he couldn't help but be moved.

In the wide trenches, there is nothing to say about those crooked corpses, and it is not unseen that there is a worse scene than this, and he has seen any scenes of stumps flying sideways and disemboweling, and Shen Zhenjiang thinks that these small scenes will not let himself vomit.

What really moved Shen Zhenjiang was the small river at the bottom of the trench, the small river composed entirely of blood and water, which was seeping into the soil little by little.

Suppressing the churning sensation in his stomach, Shen Zhenjiang turned the horse's head, returned to Zhang Shize's side, and asked, "Little grandpa, what should we do next?" ”

When Zhang Shize heard this, he immediately said in confusion: "What should I do?" The old sparrows are not particular, we can only let the infantry collect the corpses first, and then you and I will continue to move forward with the cavalry, and it is impossible for those old sparrows to blow up all the barbarians. ”

Shen Zhenjiang and Zhang Shize were entangled in egg pain, and Emperor Chongzhen was laughing at the piece of information in front of him.
