The Battle of Sedang was the strongest artillery battle at the end of the 19th century. France and Prussia invested a total of nearly 1,400 artillery pieces. This artillery battle basically laid the tone of a large-scale artillery battle in the future.

From ancient times to the present, artillery has been an auxiliary tool for infantry attacks. Because artillery is too expensive, the price of a shell is too high. Except for the navy, it has to choose artillery battles, most of the army are still used to relying on soldiers to end the battle.

But the Battle of Seedon Prussia gave the world a very bad start, and it let the world know for the first time the important role of artillery cluster bombing.

Seven hundred cannons fired at Sedangcheng in turn. This field gun produced by Krupp's unique steel technology has twice the loading speed and three times the range than French artillery.

While the French "Napoleon Cannon" was still cast with expensive and heavy bronze, the Prussians had already gone far in steel cannon making technology.

Almost all Krupp steel cannons were placed more than three thousand meters away from Sedang City. This epoch-making weapon, which already has all the characteristics of modern artillery, suffered a lot from the French.

Rear installation, rifle, steel cannon, collision fuse... these are not something the French can have.

On the other hand, the French still used delayed fuses. Each shell was marked as many meters and then exploded, regardless of whether it flew to the destination at that time.

The entire sky of Sedan was filled with the rumbling sound of artillery. The soldiers who were preparing to attack gathered in the safe area in front of the artillery positions, enduring the strong explosions waiting for the final order of attack.

At first, the soldiers were worried about the French's counterattack, but when the sound of cannons in the city sounded, their hearts were all relieved.

Faced with the crazy artillery bombardment of Prussia, McMahon angrily ordered, "Let our artillery fight back! You can't be beaten passively like this. If you continue to blow up like this, the morale of our army will not be saved!"

"Our soldiers must hear the counterattack of their cannons, only then can they feel safe!"

"Don't be afraid of casualties, let our cannons ring!"

Boom boom boom... When more than 600 cannons in the city opened fire at the Pu army outside the city, a locust-like black shadow suddenly flew out of the sky.

Rumble... The craters of the shells exploded like the moon's pockmarked face, but all the Pu army breathed a sigh of relief, because almost all the French shells exploded within a distance of 1,500 to 2,000 meters.

It was so hot that the Pu Army suffered no losses at all!

Xiao Letian excitedly slapped the railing when he saw the wonderful place, "Hahaha... Is this the ability of French artillery? It's embarrassing, embarrassing... Napoleon III, you have thrown away your uncle's face!"

"What did Napoleon the Great say? He said that God stood on the side with the best artillery, and artillery has always been the pride of France, but now what is this pride trampled on by your nephew?"

"Investing the most military spending on flashy heavy machine guns completely ignores the development of artillery. Such a national strategy maker is a pig!"

"Napoleon, who attaches the most importance to artillery technology, raised a nephew who despises the development of artillery technology extremely despises the key to this nephew who can actually successfully restore the empire!"

"It's hopeless, hopeless! France is rushing towards a second-rate military power, and it can't be stopped! There's no help..."

Xiao Letian watched the fire from the other side of the watchtower, but under the watchtower were layered with Prussian imperial guards, all of which had just begun from Berlin.

Although William I was not on the front line at this moment, he also came to Luxembourg to command the battle. He knew that Xiao Letian was a man with a wild command style and was extremely adventurous. Even Besmai and Mafia could not suppress him, so he had no choice but to let his guards go.

There is only one order for them to stop Xiao Letian from going to the battlefield in person. You can command the troops as you wish, but as long as you dare to approach the battlefield, these imperial guards will block them to the battlefield to the death.

William I's personal guards came up, which cut off Xiao Letian's idea of ​​taking action personally. He handed over the command of the 30,000 Belgian army and the reorganized two thousand Chinese special forces to Sima Yun and Luo Huo, and he was finally able to easily become a guest.

Under the watchtower, Xiao Letian's troops were also responsible for a three hundred-meter-long front. His more than 30,000 troops will launch an attack on Sedang City later.

On both sides of the watchtower are 150 cannons specially arranged by the Prussians, and 100 old-fashioned cannons brought by the Belgian army. At this moment, the firepower density of the Xiaoletian front was the most powerful in the entire battle.

The violent explosion of the cannon and the powerful recoil force made the wooden watchtower tremble. Xiao Letian was like a slight earthquake on it.

Looking at the weak artillery fire counterattack on the opposite side, Xiao Letian shook his head helplessly, "It's over, the Emperor is completely over!"

When I opened the pocket watch cover, I saw that the shelling had been 25 minutes, and there were still five minutes left to charge!

"Brothers! This is the last battle! All our grudges are at the end of the final settlement!"

"Napoleon III was in the fortress of Se, and the shame he added to us is to double it today!"

"Catch the Emperor alive!"

Suddenly, the world suddenly became quiet, and the crazy shelling suddenly stopped. The soldiers on the battlefield were no longer used to such quietness. Their ears were buzzing and even itchy.

But then there was a harsh sound of charge, and the encirclement that stretched for dozens of miles at the same time sounded the horn of charge.

"Kill! Kill the Seed! Capture the Emperor alive!" The first wave of attacks of 80,000 people rushed towards Seed like a roaring wave!

"Kill! The last battle... charge forward!" The officers raised their swords and rushed to the front line, followed by layers of murderous soldiers.

They trot quickly, and they had to complete this three thousand-meter charge with the most energy saving!

Almost at the same time, countless heads suddenly appeared on the wall of the Fortress, and the French army, which had just avoided bombing, all came out again.

"Fire the gun...continue to fire...kill these barbaric German guys!"

"Roll our heavy machine guns...open the ammunition box of all Mitrayoz machine guns!"

"Preserve your destiny! Don't give up any inch of land!"

Wow, swow, swow, swow, swow... The sky was filled with the screams of French artillery shells passing through the sky, and the huge explosion created flesh and blood gaps in the Pu army formation.

But these gaps were soon filled with soldiers who were not afraid of life and death, and the attacking crowd rushed forward!
Chapter completed!
