A massacre was unfolding on the battlefield.

In World War I and World War II, the importance of weapons has been repeatedly demonstrated. If there is a one-generation or two-generation gap between an army and the enemy in terms of weaponry, then this army with backward weapons will inevitably encounter a difficult war.

The Chinese army in the Pacific Theater of World War II used outdated light weapons to fight the Japanese army, and often needed a four- or five-fold numerical advantage to fight the Japanese army. Many times, a division of the Nationalist Army could not even defeat an elite brigade of the Japanese army.

The gap in weapons between the first and two generations has caused such a huge difference in combat effectiveness, let alone weapons that are hundreds or hundreds of years ahead.

Li Zhi used the shrapnel of the late 19th century to bombard the European coalition forces on the opposite side, and the European coalition artillery was at best at the level of the late 17th century. The gap between the two is as high as 200 years, and such a gap is difficult to bridge.

Under the bombardment of more than a thousand shrapnel shells, the stragglers of the European coalition forces had no ability to fight back at all.

On the battlefield, you can only see the smoke of shrapnel flying everywhere, and you can only see the corpses of white soldiers twitching and rolling all over the ground. Everywhere there was a loud boom of shell explosions, the groans of wounded soldiers.

Every moment of shrapnel smoke exploded, it meant that several, if not a dozen, European soldiers were hors de combat and lost their lives.

These European soldiers were the most formidable armies in this era, and they should have roamed the three oceans and seven continents, relying on arquebuses and battleships to usher in a great colonial era that had never been seen in human history.

They were supposed to rely on their discipline and iron to conquer North America, South America, Africa, India, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

They are brave warriors.

Even Li Zhi, who was standing at the top of the castle, was touched by the bravery of the Europeans. Although the shrapnel swept across the battlefield, it killed 10,000 or 20,000 people in the blink of an eye. But none of the tall and strong whites collapsed. Under the king's orders, more than 400,000 people rushed forward with red eyes and shrunk their heads, desperately rushing forward to kill.

Death and sacrifice seemed to be the fate of these soldiers, who were far more able to endure than the Turks, Persians, and Indians that Li Zhi had seen.

The elite horse armor soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were once regarded as the most powerful army by the Tiger Ben Army. However, at this time, compared to these European warriors, those vest soldiers were overshadowed.

In the war when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the Manchu Iron Cavalry showed no more than 10% of the battle damage bearing capacity. And the Europeans can afford twice as many casualties.

You know, the mainstream tactic of Europeans in this era was originally to line up and shoot. The arquebusiers of the two armies lined up in two lines at a distance of several tens of meters and faced each other. This kind of warfare basically has nothing to do with strategy and tactics, the only thing to compete is which side does not want to die, which side is not afraid of death, and which side dares to advance to a distance of thirty yards and defeat the other side at once despite huge sacrifices.

If it is more cruel, than battlefield discipline and bravery, I am afraid that no nation in this era can surpass the white Europeans.

What's even more terrifying is that this nation not only has a strong grassroots, but also an iron-blooded upper class. Li Zhi scanned the battlefield with a telescope and found that the battlefield was full of nobles wearing family coats of arms. There are not only knights with cavalry, but also barons and viscounts with gorgeous armor and even a whole team of ironclad cavalry.

Some of these nobles were young, some were old, but all of them rode their horses in the same way. Dressed in ornate silk linings and brandishing long swords, they shouted loudly on the battlefield and commanded the charge.

Lee Sik even saw an earl in the binoculars. The family coat of arms around this count illustrates his identity. He rode at the forefront of a squad of Ukrainian arquebusiers, holding his chest high and his head high against the shells that exploded in the sky. From time to time, he waved his long sword to inspire the Ukrainian civilian soldiers around him, as if charging death on the battlefield was a noble and sacred sacrifice.

Even Li Zhi, who has always been calm, was moved by these fearless aristocrats.

It was not the aristocracy that ruled Europe, but the Europeans who gave the country to the nobility. In Europe's thousands of years of uninterrupted warfare, only the most fearless, brave and outstanding men became nobles. For the sake of national prosperity, European commoners would even seek prestigious and moral nobles to become their kings.

For example, in the late 17th century, England once welcomed the famous Dutch ruler William III as king.

The whole of Europe, from top to bottom, can be said to be a war machine. Everything revolves around warfare, with artisans striving for perfection in crafting weapons, scientists experimenting to create more powerful equipment, soldiers fighting bravely to achieve victory, and aristocrats planning and directing wars. Every link in this war machine has been tested countless times in thousands of years of war.

Even Li Zhi, who was cruel and ruthless to the enemy, was moved by the bravery and selflessness shown by the Europeans on the battlefield at this time.

However, in front of the Tiger Army, the Europeans were still a little worse. The discipline and training of the Tiger Army are probably no worse than those of the Europeans. And the equipment of the Tiger Ben Army is countless times stronger than that of the Europeans.

The Tiger Artillery's artillery flew like the most sophisticated machines, raining deadly shells down on the Europeans. In the face of shrapnel, these white warriors who should have been fierce in history are as fragile as scarecrows.

It was a completely one-sided slaughter.

The distance of six or seven miles cannot be crossed at all.

After two minutes of rushing, tens of thousands of whites have already fallen on the battlefield. There were corpses everywhere, blood everywhere.

King João IV of Portugal opened his mouth wide and his face was snow-white, watching the bloody slaughter on the battlefield.

He had long believed that Lee Sik would win, but it would take some time and process to win anyway. He really didn't expect that the war would end up like this, and the European coalition forces would be completely one-sided.

Joao IV's whole body was already stiffened, and it was only a matter of time before Li Zhi had such a weapon and swept across Europe. So how will Li Zhi treat white Europeans in the end, all of them as slaves?

Is it shameful or glorious to help the Han people themselves, to help the Han people enter Europe and dominate the white people?

On the other side of the battlefield, Louis XIV had collapsed.

He was a proud and iron-blooded king, the founder of the great France in history, known as the Great. But he was always a young man under the age of twenty, and when he realized that the situation on the battlefield had completely failed, his mind collapsed in an instant.

The Young King was the organizer of the European Union, and if he lost this battle, the French Bourbon dynasty could be over.

Louis XIV's body trembled violently, and his blood-red eyes turned white, and they were full of fear.

At the side of the king of France, a Romanian archduke suddenly shouted, and fled desperately to the back, stepping on his horse and fleeing to the west.

The kings of Europe looked at the fleeing Grand Duke in alarm. You must know that the kings did not have a team of warlords around them, and there was no one in charge of chasing down the fleeing kings and grand dukes.

On the battlefield, the slaughter continues.

Finally, some psychologically fragile European soldiers were so frightened by the terrible power of the shrapnel that they opened their mouths wide and did not dare to rush forward, standing stupidly in place. But to rush forward or not to rush forward is to die, and the shrapnel does not only blow up the soldiers at the front, but in the densest places of the crowd. Even if those lone soldiers who are left behind stand still, they will be reaped at any time by the shrapnel that explodes on their heads.
