The Ao people's charge was a temporary adjustment strategy by Lei Jun after seeing the bombing effect. Originally, he thought this battle would be very difficult and made a lot of preparations, including a five-mile-long strategic depth, dozens of trenches, resisting horses, trapping horse pits, etc., which made the 150,000 army busy for seven days, but all this was useless.

In fact, the quality of the Ao Ren's musket is very average, at least in Renault's eyes, it is even worse than the front-mounted flintlock rifle he is planning to eliminate.

The muskets of the Ao Ren are not only front-loaded, but also have no bullet corks, nor rifles. The Thunderstorm found an ancient history book from where they found it. There are several illustrations of the party queuing to kill them. This is the basis for the secret technique. The Ao Ren shoots the party queuing.

Everyone on earth knows that the reason why we used this method to fight was because the range and accuracy of the muskets were related to the range and accuracy of the muskets. If we had no choice, we used the method of eliminating the shooting. This combat method was even worse than that of Mongolian riding and shooting.

Usually after a roulette of guns, you can only fight with bayonets, from hot weapons to cold weapons.

The emergence of the Aoist muskets has only been more than twenty years. The natural disasters in Austria have continued to develop and become more and more intense. Although there are many countries in Austria, their relationships are not that good, but they are trapped in natural disasters and they have no time to start a war.

Therefore, over the past twenty years, the tactics of muskets have developed extremely slowly. Without the test of large-scale wars, they have not yet found a more effective way to use muskets, and even segmented shooting has not appeared.

No matter what, the Ao people are far more familiar with gunpowder than the Chu people. They will not be afraid of the violent sounds and smoke. At least they know what's going on.

Moreover, as a soldier, Lei Jun was very clear about the importance of the battle formation. At the beginning of the training of musketeers, he required that the formation must be complete at any time. Even if someone died, the people behind him must be filled immediately.

The bombing made him realize that the lethality of gunpowder not only comes from the bullet's elimination of the body, but also the huge sound that allowed him to get more.

For example, hundreds of thousands of allies!

The consequences of chaos are helpless. Cheng Liang is also a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time, but he can't do anything, and he doesn't even know what kind of orders he should give.

As the volleyball sounded, the war horses that had not recovered became even more crazy, throwing the rider under the horse, and the huge hooves stomped all the creatures into meat paste, whether it was its owner or its kind.

The instinct of living things makes them want to stay away from sound and light and run to places they think are safe...

In this battle, it took two and a half hours to set up the formation, while the battle only took less than one hour, and the pursuit was a full half day. If it weren't for the Ao people without horses, the losses of the Great Chu coalition would have increased several times.

Even so, the final statistical results still made Cheng Liang feel cold, and he didn't know how to write a memorial to His Majesty Chu Ren.

In this battle, more than 2,800 people were killed or injured, of which 890 were killed and more than 690 were seriously injured.

You should know that the Air Force of the Great Chu has 300 airships. Under a full load, each airship can carry two to four thousand kilograms of bombs. After nearly 100,000 kilograms of bombs were dropped, the Ao people only suffered so many casualties, because there are trenches, which are completely incomprehensible to the Chu people.

After all, it has entered the age of muskets. Although they are queuing up to kill, the Aus have discovered that when defending, the trenches can effectively defend against musket attacks.

Let’s look at Da Chu again. The 400,000 coalition forces killed more than 67,000 people, disappeared 8,000, and countless injured people.

If someone specializes in research, they will find that in this battle, the Chu army and Luo Sha army died under the bombing of the Austrians, there were less than 500 people, and the vast majority of the casualties came from the 400,000 Austrians' "allies".

The fire cattle formation composed of thousands of cows can destroy the army formation of tens of thousands of people, and the damage caused by 400,000 frightened war horses is terrifying.

Among the more than 60,000 deaths, there are as many as 8,000 heavy cavalry. Their war horses are selected from the best and are the strongest among the war horses. Otherwise, they will not be able to carry heavy cavalry.

After the war horse was frightened, the heavy cavalry was left behind without exception and their bodies were ruthlessly trampled by the war horse. No matter how strong the heavy armor was, it could not withstand such damage.

For the Austrians, this battle not only defeated the Chu people inexplicably, but also seized countless war horses, which was the top priority. As for the Chu people's equipment, they looked down on them. After they were used to using muskets, who would be willing to use swords and guns?

On the other hand, the Chu people gave Cheng Liang too many headaches. It is not only the responsibility for defeat and losses, but more importantly, how should such a war be fought?

Cheng Liang is already a long-time general in the army, and it is difficult to find someone to ask for advice. In addition, the Ao Ren obtained a large number of war horses, and his maneuvering power was increased several times, which made him feel at a loss for the next battle.

Therefore, in addition to the war report, there is also a memorandum of apology and resignation. After fighting for decades, Cheng Liang found that he suddenly couldn't command.

On the battlefield, the Great Chu Luo killed the coalition forces and was defeated. On the other battlefield, the earth immortals led by Yuxi had the upper hand. The earth immortals of the Ao people were unusually few, and their strength was not as strong as they imagined.

When Lei Jun was preparing to organize his army and pursue his victory, he was assassinated by the Earth Immortals from the Great Chu. Although several Earth Immortals from the Austrians arrived in time and tried to rescue him, Lei Jun was still slightly injured. This forced the original pursuit plan to be suspended, giving the Great Chu Army a chance to breathe.

But the problem was not solved because of this. War horses are afraid of bombing and muskets. This is an unsolvable problem. To solve this problem, the war horses must adapt to the explosion, but this is definitely not something that can be solved in a short period of time.

So, what should I do?

Everyone dismounted and changed from cavalry to infantry?

Not to mention heavy cavalry, even light cavalry is not light, and it doesn’t feel that it’s a big impact when riding on horseback. The same equipment makes them turn from cavalry into infantry. Not to mention fighting, after a charge, everyone will be unable to do so.

Just when Cheng Liang was worried, an urgent official letter from the Ministry of War of Luocheng came. The one that could send the Ministry of War to the front line in a hurry was usually not a formal letter, but an order or an imperial edict, but this was a formal letter.

The origin of this official letter is very simple. After seeing the ridiculous air battle, Renault wrote a few words and handed them over to his airship troops. When he went to Luocheng, he took them there. The paper with only a few words was soon reached Wei Wenchang.

The letter from the thunder master of the Nanzhang Shengong City, who dared to be careless? After reading it, Wei Wenchang nodded happily, but didn't care too much.

After receiving the results of the first land battle, he realized that the words "Thunder Master" are invaluable and are secret techniques that can change the situation of the battle. He almost ignored them.

The content of the letter is very simple: use an airplane to deal with airships, install a water army oil-filled crossbow, shoot it, and burn it.

The Great Chu and the Ao people are also in a period of transformation. At this stage, a very ordinary idea may change the direction of history.

Air superiority is the trend of future wars, and no one knows this better than Renault. Whoever owns the sky will have the future.

The airship is too big, slow, and has poor flexibility. If you want the two airships to engage in air combat, unless there are more advanced long-range weapons, it is like two fat people fighting. Everyone is erect and hitting each other's belly, and their hands cannot touch each other. Such a battle will either die together or no one can do anything to each other.

Aircraft is different. Compared to airships, they are like ants around an elephant, but their flexibility is a hundred times higher than that of airships.

There are too many weaknesses in airships, so there is no need to mention anything else. They are slow, poor flexibility, poor controllability, and afraid of fire. These are enough.

Cheng Liang understood at a glance, and continued to think about it with Renault's thoughts, and his original frustration and decadence were wiped out.

What is the problem in this battle? He doesn't need to be the commander of the army. Any general of the ranks can tell it clearly. Knowing that it is one thing, solving it is another. Cheng Liang's problem cannot be solved, rather than discovering the problem.

Just one line of words is like a lighthouse in the darkness, pointing out the direction for him to move forward.

Cheng Liang knew that although this battle was defeated and suffered heavy losses, the casualties of more than 100,000 people were completely acceptable for the Great Chu and the Great Chu coalition.

You should know that in the prediction of the Ministry of War, this war will last longer and may even last for decades. It is normal for the final loss to exceed tens of millions of people. Hundreds of thousands of people are just a drop in the bucket. During this period after the war, the troops coming from all directions had already exceeded the previous losses.

Cheng Liang not only saw the plane, but also drove it himself. He had a lot of fun at that time, but as a general, he just had to play with it. The poor load capacity and average speed could not stimulate the nerves of a general.

This is the fact that the appearance of pedal planes is much earlier than that of airships, at least a year earlier. Nowadays, airships can often be seen in the sky of Dachu. Except for Nanzhang Shengong City, pedal planes can rarely be seen.

Nowadays, pedaling planes have become toys, and only wealthy people can afford to play with them, and they must be warriors. With the power of ordinary people, it is difficult to make pedaling planes fly, let alone fly freely in the sky.

Master Lei has pointed out the direction, but Cheng Liang's problem has not been solved. The Ao Ren's hot air balloon is very slow, but it can fly very high. It is normal for one or two thousand meters. It is very difficult to fly to this height by stepping on the plane. Even if you fly up, you may not have the strength to catch up with the hot air balloon.

After all, there are countless craftsmen in the army, and there are many consultants in the army. Da Chu is not short of smart people. Soon the flight troops solved this problem. The method they used was similar to Renault's air aircraft carrier, but it was a little simpler.
