Chapter 205 Massacre
The chariot slowly stopped at the edge of the canyon. According to the information of drone reconnaissance, this canyon was the only way for the enemy.
Ten chariots lined up in a row, Captain Jackson turned on the communicator, and soon, a new instruction was passed on.
"The enemy is approaching the canyon, Captain Jackson, please prepare for battle."
"I understand Commander." Captain Jackson said, commanding ten chariots to divide into two teams, hidden behind the ridges on both sides of the canyon.
Xia Yu asked for a telescope and climbed up the ridge. He held the telescope and looked into the distance. After a while, thick smoke and dust appeared in his sight.
The five thousand cavalry didn't sound like a lot, but in fact it was very large in scale. The smoke and dust that was ripped off during the run was as spectacular as a sandstorm.
"Here! Come!" He ran down the ridge quickly and shouted loudly.
"Everyone is ready to fight!" Jackson shouted, and with the sound of a clattering bullet loading and the sound of the bolt being laid, all the barrels pointed to the canyon ahead.
At this moment, Yumeng Gangde didn't know that he had fallen into a trap. He was leading troops to march and was thinking about how to carry out this battle.
He had already planned for the "evil army" he had never met.
Yumeng De was not a fool, nor a reckless man, otherwise he would not have become a governor. In fact, he was much smarter than he seemed.
It is precisely because of this that he did not take the enemies described by those envoys very seriously.
People in this era like to exaggerate the facts too much. A few thousand troops can be claimed to be 100,000, and a few tens of thousands of troops can be claimed to be 100,000. A big lizard dares to say that he killed a giant dragon, and a manor at home dares to claim to be a castle. Youmeng Gangde has seen too many such things in his life, so he takes it for granted that those envoys must have exaggerated them.
However, he didn't think the other party was completely lying. Obviously, this new enemy has some new weapon that can fire projectiles, and its range and power are likely to be far beyond the bow and arrow.
But he did not think that a few weapons could determine the outcome of the war.
Moreover, ten times the force of the enemy's "arrows" are no longer a problem.
But he was still relatively cautious, so he decided to launch a night attack with a "cautious" decision. The night is the best cover for the cavalry. No matter how powerful the weapon is, it cannot exert its power when it cannot see the enemy. So he decided to slow down and save horsepower while arriving at the destination at night and then launching an attack. The power of the Dark Goddess will protect her believers. Unfortunately, he didn't know that there was something called a night vision device in this world.
However, he was destined to be unable to launch this night attack, because at this moment, his army had entered the range of the machine gun.
A grassland lord who was accompanying him asked, "Sir, do we need to speed up? If this continues, it will probably be dark soon."
Among the five thousand cavalry, three thousand were grassland cavalry. Most of these grassland cavalry were tribes, ranging from thousands to hundreds. The leaders were all tribe lords. The one who asked about the more status was the lords named Daksai.
"Hmph, it's just dark. The gentleman told the king that the enemy has some powerful weapon in his hand that can fire a powerful projectile. If he rushes hard during the day, he will definitely suffer huge losses. So although it is not a good honor, we have to launch a night attack.
The enemy has only five hundred people. As long as our cavalry army rushes into the enemy's camp, we will naturally win."
"So that's it. I understand the Governor. Now I will command the warriors to move slowly."
However, at this moment, behind the ridges on both sides of the canyon in the distance, a strange roar (engine) came faintly.
Yumengand looked towards the horizon in the distance and could see a row of strange cars slowly driving out from behind the ridge, and lined up in a row at hundreds of steps away from them.
What is this situation? You Menggangde instinctively felt something was wrong, but he was not too worried. It was just ten strange cars, with only dozens of enemies on it, so what could there be threats? Instead, he was worried about whether there were other ambushers. However, the canyon was quite wide and the ambushers in the brigade could not be hidden.
To be cautious, he waved, "Hoffman, Darkse, take your troops to see who they are."
"Yes, I'll be—"
With a whistle, Daksai's head burst out like a broken watermelon. He swayed for a while and then fell off his horse.
Yumengangde was shocked, and was shocked and frightened for a moment, but after all, he was the governor who had been fighting for many years. He immediately reacted, "Enemy attack! Get ready for battle."
"If you have an enemy, protect the supervisor!" The guard behind him rushed up and stood in front.
Ergouzi put away his sniper rifle in the distance and shook his head with regret. The dragon cavalry next to him slapped him on the shoulder, "Waocao, you are so good at shooting a good shot, you shot the head."
"It's easy to say," Ergouzi said proudly, thinking to himself that I won't tell you that I'm aiming at the bearded general next to me.
"But why don't you cum that big beard? I think that guy should be a big boss."
Ergouzi said with confidence: "You don't understand now, what if the enemy is scared away?"
In fact, at this moment, Yumeng Gangde did have the urge to escape. The enemy's weapons were even more terrifying than described. He looked at the headless corpse on the ground and felt a little scared. However, he felt that he still had a chance. The enemy's vehicles seemed very bulky. As long as he chased them up, he could snatch the weapons.
Moreover, although the enemy's weapons are very powerful, their firing rate does not seem to be fast. I have a army of five thousand, so what are I afraid of?
"Form a cavalry line, form a front line, and all of them are rushed for me!"
Hoffman and Daksai's two grassland tribes had thousands of people, forming a messy front line, and then rushed out one after another.
He shouted while rushing, making strange screams.
Jackson, who was leading the team in the distance, had not shaken his head yet, "What a group of primitive barbarians. Follow my command and fire all of them! Cross-fire!"
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong! The dull machine cannon fired first, and the shells swept across, and all the people and horses were shattered wherever they passed.
Immediately afterwards, the light machine gun on the car also began to fire, dabbling, and reaping life rhythmically.
The light spots of the light bullets were dancing in groups of fireflies, and the cavalry rushing in front almost fell in large numbers, but the number of cavalry was as large as 5,000. The more they fought, the morale bonus they brought, and the cavalry behind them still rushed forward in a swarm.
When it rushed to 200 to 300 meters, the automatic rifle also joined the shooting.
Xia Yu also raised the M16. The enemy was so dark that it was almost impossible to aim. He pulled the trigger without hesitation, regardless of whether it could hit it or not. He directly shot horizontally from left to right. A shuttle bullet was empty in the blink of an eye. At least five or six cavalrymen were killed. Such a dense enemy was difficult to miss. He changed the magazine and pulled the trigger again. He was still relatively restrained at first, but he quickly went crazy and shot wildly.
Ergouzi set up a sniper rifle and fired one by one. The sniper rifle's bullets are very powerful and can often penetrate several enemies with one bullet.
The Dragon Rider was anxious to see that the guns he chose were shotguns and micro-rushers. At such a long distance, there was basically no lethality. He couldn't join the battle. He hurriedly pulled the soldier who was operating the machine gun on the roof of the car, "Get out of the way, let me enjoy myself - how can I open fire?"
When you start the cannon, you start firing.
Dongdongdongdongdong! Seeing the cavalry breaking into bloody under the bombardment of the machine cannon, and lying on the wastelands of the canyon, the dragon cavalry was so excited that they screamed.
The war horses and knights fell in pieces, with a distance of only a few hundred meters, and in just a few dozen seconds, the cavalry who rushed to the front almost half of the casualties.
The bodies spread along the canyon, and the screams of dead people and dying horses were everywhere.
This scene like a slaughterhouse scared the cavalry behind him to stop, but the bullets would not fire just because they stopped charging, and the reaper's life was still crazy.
Yumengander's eyes were red, fear and anger made him scream, "Don't stop! Go up, rush up! Their arrows are shot! For the glory of the goddess of darkness, rush!"
Indeed, the firepower in front seemed to have become weaker. The cavalry under his command were all brave men. With the blessing of religious fanaticism, they mustered up the courage to launch a wave of charge again.
In fact, it was not that the bullets were exhausted, but that the machine gun and the cannon were a little overheated and the barrel needed to be replaced. The remaining automatic rifles were not enough to block the enemy.
"Let's retreat, HIT AND RUN!" Jackson yelled at the intercom, and all the chariots started almost at the same time and began to retreat towards the rear. While running, the machine guns and cannons on the car were still firing. The cavalry far away were better, and the bullets were spread largely, so it was a bit difficult to hit. If you get closer, you would immediately shoot the bullets that hit you.
The cavalry felt that they had finally seen the opportunity. Since the enemy had escaped, they must have been scared and chased them wildly. Even Yumengangde personally led the Imperial Knights to follow him.
These cavalry lost their formation as they ran. As the cavalry in front were shot one by one, Yumengangde, who was in the formation and the military flag of the governor behind him were also exposed.
Captain Jackson: "I seem to see an important goal? All units should pay attention to the crossfire of that flag area."
The machine gun and machine cannon all aimed at each other in an instant, and the flames swept across like a storm. Youmeng Gangde found that most of the soldiers around him suddenly decreased. Then he felt his body lighter and flew up suddenly.
He fell to the ground with a snap, and the pain spread. He looked under him. His lower body was gone, and half of his beloved war horse was missing.
The general's sword in his hand flew out far away and fell into a piece of gravel.
A team of knights rushed over, found him, and immediately surrounded him.
"Sir, Governor! How are you?"
Yumengand glared at the young knight, thinking to himself, "How are you talking about me, I'm gone half of my fucking body."
