The Chinese army advanced steadily.
Tens of thousands of soldiers disembarked from the treasure ship. At that moment, dozens of vehicles also drove off the treasure ship.
These are all cars.
Each car is equipped with two cannons.
These cannons were almost identical to those on ironclad warships, except that their calibers were smaller.
These cannons were mostly around 75 millimeters in caliber.
Don't underestimate the caliber of these shells; they're only 75 millimeters. But the explosive power of these shells is greater than the combined explosive power of all the guns fired by the Frankish artillery.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!" came the order.
The Frankish soldiers, dressed in blue uniforms, gathered around their muskets.
All the muskets in their hands were pointed forward.
"Once they come within our firing range, we will begin firing."
"Once they come within range of our artillery, we will begin firing."
These Frankish soldiers were full of confidence, firstly because they had a numerical advantage, and secondly because they had the advantage of playing on home ground.
They believed that once war broke out...
They will definitely win easily.
Soon, with a command given.
These dozens of armored vehicles moved forward rapidly.
These cannons fired farther than the cannons of the Frankish army.
When they were still 5 kilometers away from the Frankish army.
Then the booming sound of cannons rang out.
These 50 armored vehicles are equipped with more than 100 cannons.
These 100-plus cannons can fire more than 100 shells in a single salvo.
The cannons roared, and shells rained down on the Frankish army's positions like hailstones.
Immediately afterwards, deafening explosions rang out one after another.
These shells exploded violently among the Frankish army.
The shells were exploding everywhere.
Frankish soldiers were blown to pieces. Their limbs and severed bodies were scattered everywhere.
Because all the cannons were rapid-fire cannons.
These cannons can fire more than 20 shells per minute.
Within just five minutes.
The more than 50 armored vehicles advanced while firing thousands of shells.
The Frankish soldiers didn't even have time to see clearly where the shells were coming from.
They lost almost half of their men.
The remaining people were already in a panic. They had no idea what to do.
By the time the main force arrived, the Frankish army had long since lost its formation.
Just then, a burst of gunfire rang out.
These Frankish soldiers running around had no idea. Their cannons had been shattered to pieces by the bombardment, and they were all lying on the ground in disarray.
They didn't even wait for the Chinese soldiers to get within the range of their cannons.
Similarly, they didn't even wait for the Chinese soldiers to get within range of their rifles.
Gunshots rang out like beans, one after another.
A hail of bullets flew toward the Frankish soldiers.
The Frankish soldiers, who were running around, fell to the ground in droves.
There was only one path waiting for them.
That is death.
Many Frankish soldiers panicked and knelt down, raising their hands high, while others simply raised the white flag.
Before the 100,000-strong army could inflict even the slightest casualties on Jiang Tian's forces, they were all wiped out.
When Louis XVI, who was standing on the city wall, saw this, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
The man's body was trembling like a leaf; he had never been so afraid before.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. My army is invincible. Even if the army of the English Empire came here, I would not be afraid of them."
"But why is our army so vulnerable to the army of the Great Xia Dynasty? What kind of weapons are they using?"
"Your Majesty, I think we should leave here as soon as possible. If we don't leave now, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Queen Anna was also frightened. Facing the enemy soldiers surging forward like a tide, Queen Anna knew that the army was unstoppable.
He had no idea what would happen when these massive armies attacked.
Just then, a dozen more cannonballs flew over and landed accurately on the city wall.
With a series of earth-shaking tremors and the sound of explosions, the city wall collapsed, leaving more than a dozen huge gaps.
Each of these huge gaps is tens of meters wide.
The soldiers guarding the city wall were also terrified by the deafening explosion.
In the crowd, someone shouted, "Run! We can't hold them off!"
These people immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Zheng He held a telescope and looked into the distance.
With a wave of his hand, he sent the ironclad warship directly into the Seine River in Paris.
"It seems the army doesn't need the navy's support at all. Everyone, fire away as you please."
"I originally planned to take two days to take over Paris, but it seems that I don't need to now. These people are just a bunch of cowards, and their fighting ability is not worth mentioning."
"I will take over the entire Frankish Kingdom within ten days."
At a command, the ironclad warship spewed out plumes of white smoke.
The sirens of the ironclad warships blared as more than a dozen of them rapidly entered Paris.
Meanwhile.
The tanks, carrying crowds, have already entered Paris.
Although they had been to Paris before, this time the feeling was completely different. Before, they came to do business; this time, they came to occupy the city.
"Issue the order: all soldiers may loot and kill within the city for ten days. Any crimes committed within these ten days will be pardoned. After ten days, no one is allowed to loot or kill."
The order was quickly relayed to every corner.
For these ravenous soldiers, this was exactly the kind of thing they wanted to hear.
No one feels any psychological burden when doing this.
This was something they had never imagined before; now they knew they could plunder the gold and silver treasures here on a grand scale.
"Brothers, give me free rein."
“We need to know that these guys once attacked our sixteen northern kingdoms. They funded the sixteen northern kingdoms to plunder the Great Xia Dynasty.”
"They caused 60% of the losses suffered by the Great Xia Dynasty."
"The wheel of fortune turns every 30 years, and the east bank of the river is in the west for 30 years. This time it's finally our turn to slaughter them."
“Not one of these guys is innocent. Show them no mercy. Kill them all, leave no one alive.”
