Chapter 632: Salvo of artillery, tactical change

EbookFREE.me, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rise of the empire of the heavens and worlds!
Regarding the upcoming naval battle, neither Metaiade nor Di Mistocle had any confidence.
My family knows what happened to my family. If the city-state navy with a scale of more than 70 ships is once full of personnel, full of weapons and equipment, even if it encounters any enemy fleet, it will be able to fight.
But now, the large amount of materials on the warship makes it difficult for the warship to navigate, and the weapons and equipment dismantled to make room before leaving the port accounted for more than half of the entire fleet.
The gap between weaponry and combat attributes cannot be made up casually, even if there are two highly qualified and experienced naval generals commanding the same.
Even at this moment, Metaiade and Dimystokli were ready to be defeated, and now they were just seeking to delay time and give sufficient warning time to the city-state civilization.
...
"A salvo of artillery!"
Seeing that the distance between the two sides has been stretched to five or six kilometers, and the artillery range has been reached, the Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan above the navy flagship also issued a combat order, and many captains have implemented it.
On the deck, guns after guns were carried onto the deck.
Above the cabin, one secret compartment after another was opened, revealing one after another black muzzle.
Under the control of countless naval officers, many large artillery have raised their firing angles and loaded shells.
A naval battleship is equipped with at least five or six large artillery, more than ten medium artillery, and dozens of small artillery.
Although the current distance is only the range of large artillery, according to a battleship with five large artillery, at least one thousand large artillery on 200 warships also exist, not counting the dozens of large artillery above the flagship.
And after the attack order was communicated, suddenly, thousands of large artillery began to roar.
"boom……!"
One after another cannons tilted out one round after another, and one after another orange tracer struck the sky, playing a wonderful symphony above the sky.
This is the sound of death, this is the joy of extinction!
"What exactly is this?"
Standing on the deck, watching the black that the naked eye could only barely catch, rushed towards their fleet in an overwhelming manner, both Metaiade and Di Mistocle looked a little unclear.
But then, the two people still looked a little puzzled, the sky filled the sky from the surface of the fire, swallowing everything, and also engulfed Metaiade and Di Mistocle.
I am afraid that they and countless Greek naval officers would never have dreamed that there is still such a thing as artillery in this world.
More than a thousand shells, so effortlessly tore the entire Greek naval fleet to pieces.
After a stick of incense, the fire passed by, sawdust and broken weapons were seen everywhere on the sea, and the water was red with blood.
Daqin's Fourth Squadron, with absolute firepower, wiped out half of the Greek fleet with absolute firepower, and no one survived.
Thousands of troops and countless materials were all buried into the seabed with the terrible explosion.
"Is this a naval gun?"
Li Jing, who was observing the condition of the sea in the distance through the telescope handed over by Huoshaoshan, was also dull at this time, muttering to himself.
So far, this new combat method that has never been seen before has deeply shocked Li Jing, and also vaguely encountered the direction of the future development and reform of the imperial army.
And this spectacular scene was also broadcast to the imperial capital Xianyang by the seven or eight news birds above the sky.
In the Xianyang Palace, looking at the high-definition images uploaded from the virtual images, most of the courts and the public have not yet reacted.
Still immersed in the volley of thousands of artillery guns, the sound of the artillery ripped through the sky, the orange-red tracer flowing in the sky, swallowing everything.
"Within the range of the cannon, there is truth everywhere!"
For a long time, Ying Ji also uttered such a sigh.
Ying Ji can be sure that under such intensive artillery attacks, as long as the opponent stands still, even a Tier 3 powerhouse will be either dead or severely injured, far exceeding the damage of the low-tier Spirit Breaking Crossbow Arrow.
"Your Majesty, my ministers ask your Majesty to popularize artillery equipment, at least to the extent that a legion is equipped with an artillery brigade."
At this time, Sun Wu, the dean of the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, also took a step forward, admonishing him.
As a soldier, Sun Wu keenly captured the tactical changes that artillery would bring.
There is no doubt that as long as the existence of artillery, most of the natural dangers will become decorations, and they will be shattered under absolute firepower.
The artillery is not very flexible, but it is absolutely superb weaponry in terms of tackling tough issues.
Once artillery was popularized in the imperial army, imperial soldiers would not know how much less they would die in the war, and the catapult could basically be eliminated.
For this kind of battlefield weapon, Sun Wu, the dean of the Imperial Military Academy, must seize it.
...
"Your Majesty, please popularize the imperial army to popularize artillery."
...
"The minister, please spread the artillery."
...
One after another, the imperial military commanders all admonished. Although they did not have the long-term vision of Sun Wu, they also noticed the tactical changes that the emergence of artillery would bring.
And looking at the uplifting Manchu civil and military, Kong and many admirals of the Navy also revealed a touch of energy.
Because they saw an opportunity for the navy to completely gain a foothold in the empire and enter the take-off period.
You know, artillery is the navy's weapons and equipment, and the navy also has a wealth of technical reserves of various weapons.
Once the empire wants to popularize artillery throughout the army, it has to rely on the navy?
Kong and Huang Yuan, Zefa and others are convinced of this.
"I have made arrangements for this matter, so you don't need to say much."
Looking at everyone, Ying Ji raised her hand slightly and said.
This is not nonsense by Ying Ji, but that she has really planned for this a long time ago.
And there is a popularization plan, but it is limited by some current conditions and cannot be implemented.
Hearing Ying Ji's words, the Manchu cultural relics all showed disappointed eyes, especially Kong and the seven admirals.
Because they clearly captured the gaze that the Emperor swept across himself and others.
But this still rejected the Manchu civil and military proposal, which is equivalent to rejecting the navy in disguise.
This also hit the heart of meritorious deeds of Kong and several admirals, but they quickly adjusted.
"It's okay, don't you just want to use the navy?"
"The big deal is that the navy will not take its own humiliation in the future, it will wait and consume each other with the army, and see who gets the better."
Kong and others thought so in their hearts, and the pride in their hearts did not allow them to bow their heads in exchange for the development of the navy.
"By the way, Marshal Kong, you will stay after the meeting. I have something to tell you alone."
At this moment, Ying Ji's words also rekindled hope in the eyes of Sora and others.
The meaning of Ying Ji's remarks couldn't be more obvious.
"It turns out that your Majesty doesn't want to use the navy, but really has other arrangements."
"Furthermore, the new arrangement is absolutely inseparable from the navy, and even takes up the most important part. Otherwise, how could your Majesty leave Marshal Kong alone to discuss important matters?"
Thinking of this, the unhappiness in the hearts of Sora and many admirals slowly dissipated...
