In late August, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the war in Vicksburg became hotter and hotter!

"Believers! Blessed is the Lord my rock. He teaches my hands to fight and my fingers to fight. Let us move forward bravely! Kill the enemy bravely! Amen!"

"Amen!"

Outside Vicksburg, many people gathered in the trenches of the US military, and a man wearing a U.S. military officer's uniform and holding a Bible in his hand was praying for the American soldiers.

If Li Mengyang saw this scene, he would be somewhat surprised, because this person is considered an officer or a clergyman? And, will there be a bonus for this prayer or something?

These questions are simply fucking for devout Protestants. They don’t think so much about it. They just know that their lives are atonement. Now, let’s go to the battlefield, this is the best atonement!

"Artifact preparation!"

"put!"

Boom! Boom!

The mortar that General Mead hoped to see came, but at this time these mortars did not appear in a better shooting position, but were placed very far away, not close to the enemy's defense line in Vicksburg. So this artillery fire?

Boom! Boom!

The huge shell of the mortar cannon hit the front of the Vicksburg defense line, which was almost 100-200 meters away from the enemy's trench defense line. So wasn't this cannon shot well?

"Believers! Go!"

"Brothers! Come on!"

"Ahhhh!"

After the fierce artillery fire of the US military, the American soldiers who were praying in the trenches howled and rushed out of the trenches. They seemed to have reached a state of madness, with their faces full of hideousness!

If there are expression analysts, they will definitely analyze it. In fact, this kind of hideousness is a manifestation of fear. Yes, the current American soldiers are very scared and very scared!

Bi buckle! Bi buckle!

Twist...

"Ahhhh!"

The defending positions of Vicksburg were as scared as ever, and the bullets carried huge kinetic energy to push the guys they could touch directly to the ground, and even knocked out the bodies of some American soldiers directly. If some American soldiers were not lucky, they would be baptized by the Gatling machine gun, so that they would never be able to be all in their heads and tails...

The people fell down one by one, but there were also those lucky, fast and more alert. They rushed to the designated location, those big pits!

"Ahhhh!"

The American soldiers rushed into the big pits that were blown out by mortars before. After they fell down, they immediately began to prepare for shooting!

That's right. This is a new tactic, an experimental tactic that has been pondering for a long time. Because there is no way, if you don't do it like this, you will not be able to get close to the enemy's Vicksburg defense line!

Simply put, the mortars are here. When facing trenches, the current general artillery is not very useful, and the US military can only rely on the mortars, but there is also a problem with the mortars, which is that the range is still very short.

This short range is not exposed in other battlefields, but it is different now. There are two types of mortars used in the United States, including 8-inch and 13-inch. The 13-inch thing can be dragged by a train. It can be seen that this 13-inch thing is relatively huge, while the 8-inch one is relatively flexible and can be moved to the battlefield. The 8-inch one is 203 mm in diameter, and the range is less than one kilometer... In fact, the landing point cannot be controlled within the range. There is no way, such a short gun barrel, such a large caliber, or a front-mounted smoothbore cannon, and the shell is still a ball...

Every time I fired a gun before, I just had a shell fire, and it would be counterattacked by the cannons in Vicksburg, and the rate of fire was slow...

There are indeed no heavy weapons on the Imperial Army, but a weapon like a mortar can still be carried. It is as light as a feather than a mortar, and the range is better than a mortar, and the accuracy is much higher, which has caused the current situation.

The US military artillery cannot effectively strike the trench defense line in Vicksburg, and without the attack of artillery, it is impossible to see if the US soldiers are rushing upwards alone, that is, sending the US soldiers to the execution ground!

So, after several considerations and calculations, let's just come up with a solution. Instead of using mortars to attack the opponent's defense line, they use this kind of thing to blow out pits in front of the opponent's defense line, and then the soldiers rushed into the pit, which became 'trenches' one by one!

You really don't know, this idea is really reliable. Now many American soldiers have entered designated locations. These big pits are basically about 100 meters away from the Imperial Defense Line of Vicksburg.

But, however, rushing over along the way was terrible!

The American soldiers left many corpses along the way. In addition, there were not many big pits. There was no way. There were not many mortars, and this thing was not easy to transport, and it was difficult to transport. It was also broken by the empire's mortars. The number of pits can be imagined.

Bang bang! Bang bang bang!

You really don’t know that after the American soldiers entered the pit, they really shot. You know, the Vicksburg War reached this point, and there were not many American soldiers who could shoot like this, and it was difficult for them to rush into their own shooting range!

when!

A bullet hit a green metal object directly, and the kinetic energy of this bullet directly pushed the imperial soldiers with this metal object to the ground!

"My grass! What's wrong?"

"Old Wang was hit!"

"Old Wang! Are you okay?"

In the trenches of Vicksburg, the soldier who was just hit by a bullet was from Xiao Shanzi's platoon. This shot was really powerful enough that it alarmed the entire platoon at once.

"Ah~ah~" The king was lying on the ground, looking at his appearance, "Am I dead? Is this the Hall of the King of Hell?"

This guy seemed to be beaten so stupid...

"Old Wang! You are not dead! Look, touch your head!" Xiao Shanzi came over and pulled Lao Wang up, and then said to the other soldiers: "Old Wang is okay, you all go back! Go back! Don't let those bastards come up!"

"Yes!" Everyone saw that it was indeed the case, but at this time, the old Wang reacted.

"Ah hahaha! I'm not dead! I'm not dead!" The guy yelled while touching his face and head, and then took off the green metal object. It was naturally a helmet!

"Wood!" The old Wang held the helmet in his hand, as if he was looking at a treasure, and then kissed him fiercely at the place where he had just been shot!

"Great Emperor! You are my real father!" The old king shouted shamelessly.

Yes, he was really grateful. If the shot just now didn't have this helmet, he would have to explain it here. Now, he can still jump around, and this helmet has not even been penetrated and can still be used!

The quality of this helmet is too good, right?

It is not that the steel helmets are of good quality, but the rear-loading guns used by the US military now. Although their weapons are already very advanced and rear-loading guns, the bullets are very small, just like pistol bullets. And the most important thing is that the bullets they use are made of lead. Although the lead is heavier and Willy is also very large, it is relatively soft, and the penetration is very poor. Perhaps the tearing force is very strong, which can break the broken limbs of a person's arms, but if you want to wear a steel helmet... it's better to wash and go to bed.

"Hahaha..." Everyone was called back by Platoon Leader Zhou Xiaoshan to fight, but when he heard the old Wang's shouting, how could he not be happy?

And the person who had a good thing teased: "I said Lao Wang, when we went to war, you were still shouting, how bad is this steel helmet, it will make your head green. Why? Now I feel it's good?"

The old king seemed to have forgotten this matter for a long time, but now that he was mentioned, he didn't care and laughed: "It's fucking green, as long as it can save my life! Then I will wear it! By the way! all-hail-lee! The emperor is my real father!"

"Hahaha... You kid still want to be a royal relative, you really want to be a beautiful person!" Yes, you want to be a son for the emperor, but others still want to be a fool. Is this thing casual?

"Anyway, I won't say anything! Your Majesty the Emperor is my reborn parent!" The old Wang was really thick-skinned, but his explanation...

"Okay OK! Don't fucking nonsense! Go back to your position!" Xiaoshanzi couldn't see his subordinates so unintentionally fighting. However, his face was really red just now, because he called him "Emperor's father" before...

Bi buckle! Bi buckle!

On the trenches of the Vicksburg Imperial Army, the soldiers of the Empire were using their bolts to activate their rifles and slowly naming the American soldiers who rushed into the pit.

This weapon has a high shooting accuracy and a long range, which is really a killing weapon!

Not long after, the United States Army's experimental attack stopped. The United States Army that was pounced on the crater had no gunfire, which means that even if they were not all killed, they would have lost their combat effectiveness.

All of this fell into the eyes of Colonel Arthur MacArthur who was watching with a telescope in the US trenches. He was really heartbroken at this moment, because the soldiers before were all his subordinates!

"You have to tell General Sherman that if this continues, our army will be dangerous..." MacArthur put away his telescope and walked into the depths of the trench.

At this time, what was his Majesty the Emperor of the New Tang Empire in the American Empire, the biggest protagonist in the Battle of Vicksburg?

In the cat's ear, the ammunition box is used as a chair, the ammunition box is used as a table, and a piece of white paper is spread out. Li Mengyang is writing hard there, and that posture seems to be writing a poem... (To be continued...)
