Start Boiling the Frog in Warm Water
In Rashu's eyes, the 1,400 Chiyou Army soldiers outside the city were all points.
As long as they could kill this Chi You Army outside the city, they would be able to get at least 1,000 to 2,000 points. Plus, they still had 900 points that they hadn't used yet.
It was enough for Rashu to increase the armed forces under his command to more than 3,000 people.
At that time, even if they were to face the Chiyou Army's 1,000-man team or brigade level troops, they would be able to defeat this era.
The arrogance of the Chiyou Army became the guarantee for Luo Xiu's steady rise.
Thus, Rashu naturally didn't need to be polite with the Chiyou Army.
However, when he gave the order to the cannons, Rashu didn't order the 105mm light field howitzers to fire. Instead, he ordered the 24 75mm field cannons to fire.
In this age, 105mm field howitzers were already considered heavy artillery. There were not many such artillery in the entire territory of Chiyou Army.
Once they opened fire, the infantry units outside the city would probably retreat.
If he wanted to wipe out the Chiyou Army outside the city, it was necessary to boil the frog in warm water.
Twenty-four 75mm field howitzers opened fire. Every area outside the city had already been marked with shooting elements.
After confirming the position of the Chiyou Army's artillery, he could just shoot according to the marked shooting elements.
The Chi You Army, who was preparing to cook, was shocked by the sudden cannon sound. The sharp sound of the cannonball made their scalps numb, and they were a little confused.
The private armed forces in Luo Town actually had cannons.
From the sound of the cannons, it was at least twenty cannons firing at the same time.
The infantry captain of the Chiyou Army was even more dumbfounded. He only came back to his senses when he heard the explosions behind him. He shouted,"Counterattack, counterattack!"
He couldn't care less about the artillery positions in the rear.
The 100 artillery soldiers who could not be deployed in time were like live targets under the attack of the enemy's artillery.
Soon, it would be the infantry's turn. If they did not attack quickly, they would all be bombarded.
The Chiyou Army's station commander, who didn't have time to think, hurriedly gave the order to attack.
Although it was only a garrison of the Chiyou Army and its combat skills were not as good as the field troops of the Chiyou Army, it still showed good quality.
The mortars were immediately used.
The range of the Chi You Army's mortars was usually around 600 to 700 meters.
It was impossible for them to suppress the artillery positions in the armed base.
However, it was not a problem to push forward a little and cover the infantry's attack.
In fact, the firepower of the Chiyou Army was very tight.
A 50mm grenade launcher had a range of 200 meters. Mortars were used to cover the range from 200 meters to 1,000 meters.
Between 1,000 to 3,000 meters, the infantry cannons would be responsible.
The firepower coverage of a village was quite perfect.
Although the Type 31 Mortars of the Qin army had a range of 1,400 meters, which could suppress the grenade launchers and mortars of the Chiyou Army, in fact, their firepower was often suppressed by the Dog-Bastard Infantry Cannons. The mortars and grenade launchers of the Chiyou Army could easily destroy the firepower of the Qin army.
Dragon God Qin's army, which lacked cannons, was completely suppressed by Chiyou Army. This was also one of the reasons why Dragon God Qin's army was constantly at a disadvantage.
When the artillery fire covered the 100 soldiers of the Chiyou Army, the Chiyou Army was really unlucky.
Only a portion of the cannons had time to be unloaded from the trucks. Most of the cannons were still on the trucks.
Even the cannons that were unloaded could not counterattack in time.
The first round of artillery fire didn't even damage the Chi You Army's cannons.
However, the artillery of the Chiyou Army didn't know that Gong Jian and Li Erniu were right behind them, guiding the subsequent attacks.
When the second round of cannon fire landed, it directly hit the Chi You Army's artillery team, causing them to fall.
The Chi You Army's artillery, which tried to increase their speed and deploy their cannons to counterattack, was stunned.
The enemy's precise cannon shot even tore the centurion of the Chiyou Army into pieces. When he landed on the ground, the centurion's body was only left with half a body. He twitched twice and died.
With professionals guiding the cannons, the 100-man artillery of the Chiyou Army had no chance to counterattack.
In just a few minutes, the entire 100-man artillery team was completely finished. All the cannons and trucks were destroyed. Those that were not destroyed were basically unusable.
More than half of the 300 Chiyou Army soldiers had died and their battle strength had decreased.
On the other side of the city wall, the mortars of the Chiyou Army were about 500 meters away from the city wall.
The entire infantry camp formed a wide line of scattered soldiers, approaching the city wall.
The depth of the attack was hundreds of meters, and the width of the attack was three thousand meters, causing the Chiyou Army to quickly disperse.
Such a skirmish could also reduce the threat of artillery as much as possible.
To the Chiyou Army, they only needed to get close to the city wall for two to three hundred meters before they could launch a counterattack and kill the enemies on the city wall.
At this moment, the Chi You Army thought that the armed forces in the city were just private armed forces and could not be called an army. Their spear techniques were definitely not good and could be easily suppressed.
When the time came, as long as the city gate was breached, the cannons in the city would belong to the imperial army.
This tactic had been used by the Chiyou Army against the Divine Dragon Emperor Qin's army.
The general spear skills of the Chiyou Army were much better than those of the Divine Dragon Empire. They were not even on the same level.
The training policy of the Chiyou Army was to train the soldiers 'marksmanship as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the logistics of the troops on the battlefield.
Every soldier was trained to use the least amount of bullets to eliminate the most opponents.
Thus, the Chiyou Army's spear techniques were not bad and there were many elite shooters at the base.
Many of the soldiers from the Divine Dragon Empire who fought with them were shot in the head. The worst of them were shot in the Moon Region.
This was also due to the length of the barrel of the Dog-Eight Style Rifle, which gave it high accuracy. This allowed this rifle to perform very well in the hands of the Chiyou Army.
However, in front of Luo Xiu, this tactic of the Chiyou Army was laughable.
The heavy artillery was not a joke. Seeing the Chiyou Army's actions, Luo Xiu ordered the heavy artillery behind to open fire.
