Chapter 61 This thing can reduce the pain of soldiers
Han Dynasty.
Huo Qubing, a senior cavalry expert, looked at the British cavalry on the sky.
Although I haven't seen them officially start fighting yet.
But one look at their neat formation, their high spirits, and their well-cared-for horses.
Huo Qubing couldn't help but nodded with appreciation.
I gave a thumbs up to the British cavalry.
"Yes, this cavalry unit is definitely elite."
"Look at their appearance. They are probably comparable to the cavalry of the Yulin Army of my Han Dynasty."
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who was standing by, looked at the sky curtain and agreed with Huo Qubing's evaluation.
"They are indeed elite."
"When I watched the World War II drama before, I once thought that the British army was not good at fighting."
“But now looking at the mental state of these British soldiers, they must be tough guys on the battlefield.”
"It's a joke to say that the British army can't fight."
On the canopy.
With the cover of the wheat fields, the cavalry set off quickly.
The cavalry marched forward, forming a dense formation, with their sabers raised and pointing forward.
The picture gradually became shocking.
At this time, the screen changed.
Arrived at the German military camp.
The uniforms of these German soldiers are obviously different from those of the German soldiers who appeared in World War II.
It looked like the German camp was resting and defenseless.
It was not until the British army rushed out of the camp that the German army heard the sound of horse hooves of a large group of cavalry.
The Germans looked outside!
Only to find out that they were British cavalry!
Suddenly panicked!
The German camp, which was totally unprepared, was directly trampled by the British elite cavalry!
In the picture, the elite British cavalry are in excellent spirits and high morale. They hold sabers in their hands, pointing forward and swinging left and right.
The German soldiers who were caught off guard were easily crushed!
Only a few German soldiers held up fire pokers to resist.
But in such a hurry, there was no time to organize a truly effective defense.
Only two minutes.
The German camp was trampled.
Hundreds of German fleeing soldiers fled into the woods behind, with British cavalry chasing them.
Then he plunged into the woods.
……
I have to say that this movie called "War Horse" is a high-scoring classic movie on earth, and its filming technique is still very outstanding.
This video of a cavalry charge features beautiful natural scenery.
There is also a tense battlefield atmosphere.
It was clearly a bloody massacre.
The picture is very beautiful.
Even those viewers on Earth who are used to watching all kinds of blockbusters often give it positive reviews.
Not to mention the ancient audiences who had not watched many movies.
It’s just that this content is nice to look at.
But it still disappointed many ancient people.
After all, at the beginning everyone was thinking about what Maxim was.
How could Maxim deal with the cavalry.
How to make nomadic people become good at singing and dancing.
Outside the sky.
tomorrow.
Zhu Di saw on the sky that British cavalry were killing German troops indiscriminately.
While enjoying the beautiful movie pictures, I also gave my own judgment.
"I watched the war videos on the sky screen before, and saw those weapons called guns."
"It's similar to the fire guns of my Ming Dynasty."
“It’s just more powerful.”
"I have also thought about whether the improved performance of firearms will change the dominant position of cavalry in wars?"
"But it is obvious that ordinary guns alone are still unable to truly restrain cavalry."
"If we want cavalry to become a supporting role in war, maybe we still have to wait for tanks to appear?"
"I don't know when tanks started to be used in warfare."
……
Basically, ancient people from all generations have confirmed this after watching this sky curtain video.
In later wars.
Cavalry is still the most powerful branch of the army.
At least before tanks appeared, they should have been the strongest.
If we want to solve the problem of nomadic peoples moving south and make them good at singing and dancing, I'm afraid it will take some time.
……
The second half of the sky curtain begins to play.
The British cavalry was unstoppable.
The fleeing German soldiers rushed into the forest.
At this moment, a black muzzle of a gun suddenly appeared in the camera.
It was a machine gun.
A heavy machine gun!
The sky is marked with the words "Maxim".
The audience is not given time to think.
Maxim began to open fire.
Maxim's firing immediately shocked everyone in history!
All I saw was a dazzling fire dragon spurting out from the black muzzle of the gun.
The Maxim machine gun was like a violent steel beast, roaring and releasing an endless storm of death.
The blazing flames spewing out from the muzzle were like a fire dragon raging on the battlefield.
Countless bullets poured out like raindrops, drawing deadly arcs in the air.
And every shot was accompanied by blazing flames and smoke.
Accompanied by deafening gunfire.
Announces the death of the enemy!
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
Gunshots rang out!
The British cavalry were originally charging into battle and were invincible, killing people all the way.
They fell down in large pieces like wheat being cut.
Those most elite British cavalry.
The morale of those cavalrymen was so high that even Huo Qubing was very impressed.
They were no match for the German Maxim position!
Here, the director specifically used a gentler shooting technique.
On the one hand, we were filming the German army's continuous firepower.
On the one hand, British troops were photographed charging on their horses.
However, the expressions of the elite British cavalry, represented by the protagonist, gradually changed from excitement at the beginning to fear.
The protagonist's face turned into a face that looked like it wanted to cry.
can be seen.
In one scene, British cavalry are charging in groups.
In another picture, there are no knights on the cavalry horses.
The camera does not directly depict the moment when the cavalrymen were shot.
But the results have been clearly shown.
Faced with the overwhelming firepower of the Maxim machine guns, the British cavalry was almost wiped out.
Only the last few British soldiers survived and they were captured by the Germans.
The leading German officer even laughed and said:
[What? Do you British people think we are fools? ]
[Will we wait for you to charge us defenselessly in the flat open ground? ]
The few surviving British soldiers looked dazed and couldn't utter a word.
The camera was also constantly moving higher at this time.
The entire battlefield was revealed.
British soldiers were seen lying dead all over the forest outskirts.
Hundreds of horses and cavalrymen lay lifeless on the ground.
And in front of them was the Maxim machine gun with smoke still coming out of the muzzle.
The original movie clip playing on the sky screen ended.
The blogger also started talking.
[Maxim was the first successful automatic weapon powered by gunpowder gas.]
【It's called the Nomad Happy Gun.】
[The machine gun has an extremely fast firing rate. Through the built-in regulator, the firing rate can be adjusted from 100 rounds per minute to 600 rounds per minute.]
[The performance is reliable and stable. With sufficient cooling water, it can shoot continuously for four hours. ]
[This type of weapon with an ultra-high rate of fire often hits with multiple rounds at once, which can effectively reduce the probability of soldiers being injured and reduce the pain of soldiers.]
[In World War I, the Maxim machine gun showed its power. ]
[On the peak day, the Maxim machine gun massacred 60,000 British troops! ]
[To this day, the Maxim is the single weapon that has killed the most people.]
