Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The Wu King's army was still surging forward, covering the ground like a boundless swarm of ants, obscuring the earth.

Fang Zheng Yi and Li Yuan Zhao remained hidden in the trench, preparing to meet the enemy.

Both of them held binoculars up to their eyes.

Li Yuan Zhao asked, "Do you think... will that scoundrel dare to come to the battlefield himself? Has he come or not?"

"As if," Fang Zheng Yi said dismissively.

"Has he come or not?"

"As if."

"What the hell does that mean? What kind of riddle are you playing?"

"It means it's possible he's come, but also unlikely," Zhang Biao added, then asked, "Is that so hard to understand?"

"Brother Biao is truly wise. Ugh, Your Majesty, please stop asking, I'm nervous to death."

"......."

Behind the Da Jing army, the general's observation group held the binoculars provided by Da Jing, staring at the distance with utmost seriousness.

No one spoke, their eyes filled with deep worry.

Terrifying, the enemy's forces were unprecedented!

And Da Jing's reaction was even more unexpected.

Not only did they not retreat, but they also remained stationed in place, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Where did their confidence come from, and how could they win this battle....

Da Jing's only advantage might be that the terrain was slightly higher than the enemy's.

But facing such a force, this geographical advantage was almost negligible, and it was hard to imagine how they could win.

Watching the Church's army continue to appear endlessly, Mode's tightly stretched cheeks finally couldn't hold on.

He said to the people around him, "Everyone, let's move a little further away. It doesn't seem very safe here."

"That makes sense, let's retreat further!"

.......

"Your Majesty! The time has come, awaiting your command at any moment!"

Su Hao reported to the Wu King.

The Wu King, holding binoculars, was desperately searching for Li Yuan Zhao and Fang Zheng Yi.

Unable to find them, he raised his right hand, hesitating on the spot.

The Da Jing army was right in front.

As long as his right hand fell, the million-strong army would immediately swarm out.

Gathering such a force, gathering for a single battle, it was no exaggeration to say it was unprecedented...

But... once the decision to attack was made, there would be no turning back.

With the army attacking, and the two armies engaged in battle, the greatest possibility for this million-strong army was to lose control.

Even if divided into several units, each commanded by a general, such a scene would be extremely difficult to control.

Seeing the Wu King still hesitating, Su Hao urged from the side, "Your Majesty! What are you still hesitating about? The arrow is on the string, it must be released!"

The Wu King's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes slowly closed.

His right hand chopped down, his tone filled with determination: "Kill!"

"Your subject obeys!"

......

Su Hao took the lead, bypassing the crowd to reach the front.

Before leaving, he also issued a command to the deputy.

In the army formation, the flag officer raised the flag high!

In such a scene, commands and whistles were completely useless.

Only flag orders could slightly command the army.

The continuous flag orders were transmitted from the rear to the front, knowing that Su Hao had also reached the front of the formation.

At this moment, the two sides were more than two miles apart.

The three armies began to accelerate their march frantically in batches.

Fang Zheng Yi held his breath, his forehead already covered in sweat.

Li Yuan Zhao, seeing the opportunity, roared loudly: "Solid shot cannons, fire! ! !"

The military order was transmitted, and the artillery array already set up outside the military formation moved according to the order!

Hundreds of cannons erupted with fire, cannonballs soared into the sky, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Da Jing fired the first shot.

The cannonballs soared high in the air, smashing into the enemy's army formation like a vast ocean, but without causing much of a ripple.

This was exactly the decision Li Yuan Zhao had planned in advance.

They did not use bursting shells, as their power was too great.

They needed the enemy to reach the maximum range, using bullets to stop and annihilate them, and then cooperate with artillery for large-scale killing.

If they unleashed their firepower from the start, unexpected changes might occur.

Su Hao, in a relatively safe area, watched the cannonballs fly into the army, causing a slight disturbance, and frowned slightly.

The soldiers had already seen the weapons of divine punishment, so they were not too panicked.

This was an expected situation, as His Majesty had explained in advance.

The front was just some shield-bearing cannon fodder, their lives or deaths were irrelevant.

As long as both sides entered the range, the situation could be alleviated.

"Continue to advance!"

Rumble....

Countless soldiers and horses, pincer attacking the Da Jing army from three sides, with crowds of people visible everywhere.

Horses' hooves trampled, the earth shook.

Even Fang Zheng Yi, who had seen countless grand scenes, was severely shocked by this scene!

Thinking that the two armies would soon be engaged, he found it difficult to breathe.

Six hundred meters, the weapons of divine punishment began to fire on the Da Jing position.

While the two sides' artillery arrays were firing at each other, the front-row soldiers under the Wu King accelerated their speed, rushing towards Fang Zheng Yi and others' direction despite the artillery fire!

Thousands of troops, a full tens of thousands of people, rushed to the front in the first wave.

Many people began to fall... but for the Wu King's army, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Those who fell were replaced by those behind, and then continued to attack!

No one dared to retreat, no one could retreat!

Four hundred meters, three hundred meters.... In a short distance, countless people died from artillery fire and trampling.

As the enemy got closer and closer, Li Yuan Zhao's breathing slowed down instead, and the noise around his ears seemed to weaken.

His eyes showed a hint of excitement: "Lao Fang, it's time to take out the Gates of Hell."

"Mm...."

In the trench, a long flag rose, waving continuously in the air.

The front ranks of the Da Jing army began to prepare in a three-stage firing position.

The Jinyiwei scattered throughout the army also began to pick up their equipment.

One thousand people picked up submachine guns, and four hundred people began to load infantry cannons.

And there were six hundred Jinyiwei.... in groups of three, lifting a long and heavy musket from the boxes beside them, with a brass ammunition chain hanging from the side, down to the bottom of the box....

Maxim heavy machine guns!

The fierce weapon that killed a full one million two hundred thousand soldiers in the Battle of the Somme, the deadliest firearm in history, was finally revealed to the world at this moment.

It's just that Fang Zheng Yi had changed its name, now... it was called the Gates of Hell.

And it was the heavy machine gun that forced Emperor Jing to abdicate back then. As for the submachine gun and infantry cannon, they were all developed later, and many ideas were borrowed from the heavy machine gun.

Eighty-two years ago, automatic rifles had not yet been invented. It was not until Maxim discovered that the useless force generated by recoil could be used for automatic reloading.

Automatic rifles were invented in 83 years, and heavy machine guns were invented in 84 years.

Seemingly weapons from different eras, without complex and unsolvable engineering problems, only a brilliant idea was needed to achieve leapfrog development.

And this idea, in the eyes of Fang Zheng Yi, a transmigrator, was just common sense.

From the start of the project, gathering all relevant talents in Taoyuan County, and even having other projects give way to it, it only took a short half a year.

This Maxim heavy machine gun, which shone brightly in World War I and World War II, was successfully developed!

Now... it miraculously appeared on the ancient battlefield.

Fang Zheng Yi felt a great sense of security when he saw that Zhang Biao had set up the heavy machine gun.

He let out a long breath.

Two thousand against 1,000,000, the advantage is with me!
