Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

"Knock knock... Knock knock, dot

toot, toot to..." In the sound of music, the 10,000 musketeers of the Xingnuo Empire lined up in a neat phalanx and pressed towards the front team, and behind the phalanx, the artillery team and the orchestra followed closely.

In front of them, two thousand soldiers of the Margaret Empire lined up in five columns, the front three were armed with muskets, the back two were covered with grenades, and on the high ground behind the ranks, a row of artillery was erected.

On the position of the Margaret Empire, the commander in armor galloped behind the grenadier phalanx on horseback, and he raised his sword and shouted:

"Warriors of the Margaret Empire, prepare to attack! For the Empire! Crush the invaders!" "

For the Empire! For the Empire!"

The grenadiers of the Margaret Empire were demoralized, and everyone looked excitedly at the enemy attacking in the distance.

After training with officers sent by the Commonwealth, the Margaret Empire formed a grenadier regiment that thoroughly studied the training methods and combat regulations of the Commonwealth.

In the past month, the Margaret Empire's grenadiers have been trained to improve their food, and they have also received allowances, which has never been seen before.

The morale of the soldiers was high, because the emperor promised that if the defensive battle was won, they would receive a very generous allowance

! Although the number of enemies was five times that of his own, he could have muskets! What was a musket? They called it "a magic weapon used by mortals"!

The soldiers of the Xingnuo Empire also puffed out their chests and sang the battle song of the Xingnuo Empire and marched towards the enemy.

They believed that with the "magic weapons used by mortals" in their hands, they could easily tear apart the enemy's armor and easily break through the defense lines of these backward empires equipped with cold weapons!

"

Just as the soldiers of the Xingnuo Empire finished singing the battle song and chanting, a familiar voice sounded on the high ground a kilometer away.

All the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and realized: The enemy also has firearms!

"Cannons!How can the enemy have

cannons?" "Holy Lord Goddess, there are cannons on the other side?"

When the soldiers of the Xingnuo Empire were shocked, many flowering shells smashed into their phalanx, and with a bang, the flowering shells exploded in the phalanx, and many soldiers were directly lifted.

However, under the long knives raised by the overseers, the musketeers of the Xingnuo Empire quickly stabilized, raised their muskets and continued to attack forward.

Soon, the artillery position of the Margaret Empire sounded again, and the phalanx of the Xingnuo Empire suddenly began to panic again, but fortunately, the artillery phalanx of the Xingnuo Empire also began to attack the enemy.

Hundreds of cannons fired in a salvo, and hundreds of projectiles flew towards the positions of the Margaret Empire with white smoke in tow.

Seeing this situation, the officers of the Xingnuo Empire's military supervisors began to boost their morale:

"The enemy's artillery is not as large as ours! The enemy's number is smaller than ours! Victory is ours!" There

are only 10 cannons on the position of the Margaret Empire in front of them, but the Xingnuo Empire has 100 cannons fired at once!

The grenadiers of the Margaret Empire did not know that the enemy had firearms at the beginning, and after the artillery of the Xingnuo Empire opened fire, a certain amount of turmoil was formed.

But soon the soldiers of Margaret's empire found that the enemy seemed to be fighting a lonely .......

The cannons used by the Cannons of the Star Empire are themselves crude, and since the positions of the Margaret Empire are drawn in a long line, it is even more difficult to hit.

Three hundred solid bullets, all of which passed over their heads, and not a single projectile harmed them.

The Margaret Empire's artillery is highly accurate, almost most of them can hit the phalanx of the Star Empire, and they use flowering shells, and the debris generated by the bombs can effectively destroy the living forces of the Star Empire.

And the Xingnuo Empire no longer has flowering bombs, and the Federation only sent a large number of flowering bombs to Xinqiong at the beginning, but they were gradually exhausted in the "civil war", and as the war progressed, the Federation's arms aid became less and less, and finally even canceled the sale of flowering bombs, and they couldn't even spend money to buy them.

And they also tried to make flowering shells, but among the 10 flowering shells in the experiment, 6 exploded, 1 squib, and 3 barely exploded, but they only cracked a crack, and the damage caused was pitiful. So they can only use solid bullets.

...

The two sides began to approach each other under shelling, and to be precise, the musketeers of the Star Empire were approaching the phalanx of the Margaret Empire.

At a distance of about a hundred meters, the grenadiers of the Margaret Empire raised their guns.

The distance between the two sides was only more than 100 meters, and the shelling of both sides stopped, and with the accuracy of these red-coated cannons, such a distance between the two soldiers could be accidentally injured.

"First platoon! fire!" As

the commander gave the order, the Margaret Empire soldier pulled the trigger.

The projectile hit some of the soldiers of the Star Empire, but most of them missed.

Under the command of the commander, the grenadiers of the Margaret Empire fired three shots, each time backing back.

The Celestial Empire's musketeers were also being knocked down, and as the distance got closer, more musketeers were knocked to the ground.

However, they had already been trained, and the soldiers in the back row quickly stepped forward to fill the fallen soldiers.

However, this is the first time they have faced the current situation, and it is impossible not to be afraid, even afraid, including the soldiers who were knocked down during the shelling, at this time the number of people who fell in the ranks was already four or five hundred, close to the casualty rate of 5%, if it was a cold weapon battle, the soldiers would have already begun to show a rout.

Moreover, the Margaret soldiers kept retreating, the relative speed of the Xingnuo Imperial soldiers slowed down a lot, and the number of people who fell to the ground was also rising, and at this time, their officers had not yet given the order to prepare to shoot! This made the Xingnuo

Imperial soldiers even more overwhelmed.

The officers of the Xingnuo Empire were even more overwhelmed than them at this time, although they had already learned that the enemy would have muskets and artillery, but they could not have imagined that the enemy's muskets and artillery had a greater range and power than their own.

"Shoot!"

When the distance was only eighty meters, the officers of the Xingnuo Empire finally gave the order to open fire, and the soldiers in the first row immediately raised their guns happily and quickly pulled the trigger towards the enemy.

At such a distance, they simply could not guarantee accuracy, so they could only fire a shot indiscriminately.

The result was not ideal, as five hundred soldiers fired a salvo at the enemy, but only three fell from the enemy phalanx.
