Chapter 162: Sorrow
It is obvious that these cavalry do not know what they are facing. In everyone's consciousness, cavalry has a complete advantage in facing infantry on the plains. Infantry can only slightly resist the impact of cavalry by forming formations and spears and cards to defend against the cavalry. However, it is just resistance, and the mobility is completely incomparable. If the infantry charges for a little, they still cannot resist it.
In the current situation, even the captain of the cavalry team on the opposite side didn't know what was going on, because the infantry on the opposite side had not yet stood in formation, so he thought it was a gift. Although the other party took out a few things that they didn't know, was it useful? In this case, being rushed to the vicinity by the cavalry would die.
"Run, kill them all!" The cavalry captain shouted, directing his war horse to accelerate further and sprint towards the opposite army. However, at this moment, he heard the shouts from the other camp: "Fire!"
"Fire?" It was obvious that the captain of the cavalry did not understand what the word was going on. But the next second, a terrifying sound came from the front, and the loud noises of "da da da" sounded like the sound of hammering on his chest. He didn't understand what was making a loud noise. Suddenly, severe pain came from his body, and his own war horse fell to the ground inexplicably.
With a "bang", the captain of the cavalry fell directly to the ground with his men and horses because he was rushing in front, so of course he was taken care of by the key points. The machine guns here were aimed at him at the beginning, but they were instantly knocked into a hornet's nest. Of course, he died without much pain, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Fire! Fire!" Ted continued to shout, and the four machine guns around began to spew out flames, and bullets kept flying towards the rushing cavalry and their horses. At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close, which happened to be the best attack range for the machine gun. Although the soldiers' shooting accuracy was limited, the machine guns still depended on the accuracy. Anyway, just sweep them to someone's place and just do it.
It has been tested before, and the armor from another world is difficult to withstand the damage of rifle bullet penetration, let alone machine guns. After this wave of fire, the cavalry in front fell down in rows. The fallen cavalry also hindered the cavalry in the back, which caused a chain reaction.
If they knew what the machine gun was, surrounded separately, it would also give Ted a headache. However, the current situation is that the opponent does not know what the machine gun is, so all the cavalry teams charge together, which is a real act of killing the machine gun array.
The killing efficiency of modern weapons is really not a joke. With just four machine guns and a round of strafing fires, most of the cavalry in front had fallen down. Of course, there were also soldiers who were not swept to death, but just because they hit the soldiers who fell down in front of them. However, it was obvious that in one round of strafing fires, the cavalry's charge was interrupted.
"Change bullets!" Ted shouted again. Yes, they have been training this part in a key part. The machine gun team is not just about operating the machine gun alone, but a team. Some people are responsible for carrying, some are responsible for setting up, some are fired during battles, and some are responsible for changing bullets. Although the training time is relatively small, it is still considered decent.
Of course, because the machine gun style is relatively old, it takes a certain amount of time to change the bullet. However, during this period, the cavalry team on the opposite side could not be killed, and they had already experienced huge chaos. They didn't know what was going on, but half of their people fell down. Before they could figure out what the enemy used, the most important thing was their captain, who was killed in the first round of shooting and now they have lost command. They don't know what to do about this situation.
Their war horses were also affected. It was obvious that even the horses didn't know what was on the opposite side, but the huge sound of gunfire scared them, and they instinctively began to be scared. Of course, war horses were trained. Generally, even if the opponent made a huge sound, they would continue to charge without any obstacles. However, the problem was that this also required the cooperation of the rider. The problem now was that the rider was also scared, and they were panicked.
So they missed the opportunity to change the bullets quickly. Soon the machine gun was replaced, and the next round of shooting began again. After another terrifying bullet roar, they found that the cavalry team opposite had been broken by them.
Yes, with just two rounds of shooting, the cavalry team had collapsed, and the remaining cavalry had no courage to charge forward. They had run away with their luck. But if they were not lucky, they were of course lying on the ground. It was similar to the previous battle, and the entire battle process took only a few minutes. The cavalry team was wiped out on the way without even getting close to this unit.
"What?" Of course, General Conrad saw all this in the distance, but he still couldn't understand what happened. This was really too much. Why was his cavalry team inexplicably overwhelmed? It was obvious that Conrad really didn't know how to deal with this situation. Faced with something he didn't know at all, Conrad could not make a correct judgment even if he was capable.
At this moment, Ted's team solved the cavalry team and began to continue attacking the flanks of the front-row troops. Like the previous tactics, they cooperated with their front-row troops to destroy the opponent's front-row troops. Of course, it was a perfect match. The front-row troops on both sides were fighting each other, but a group of people holding guns appeared next to them. You said that there would win.
So soon, there was a very obvious victory or defeat relationship in the front rows on both sides. The right-hand troops of the Fifth Legion began to collapse due to attacks from Ted's troops. This collapse was a chain reaction in the array battle. Once a point began to collapse, it would soon lead to the collapse of the entire scene. Therefore, the back team will be set up in the array battle. Once the people in the front cannot stand it, the back team immediately rushed up and maintain the formation of the entire team.
However, now, they couldn't do it because the troops behind really couldn't get up. Conrad was already stunned and didn't know what to do now. This 1,000-person team seemed invincible. The troops that went up would be completely defeated in just a few minutes, and they couldn't even get close to them. How to play this? Conrad didn't know.
It was not until several cavalrymen of the previously defeated cavalry team returned injured and Conrad probably knew what was going on. According to their story, Conrad also knew that the other party was using a long-range weapon similar to a musket, but the power of this thing was completely different from the musket he knew.
Of course Conrad also knew that dwarf muskets were useless, and he knew that that thing was useless. But the things used on the opposite side were not that kind of thing at all. You can tell just by looking at the wounds of the knights. That kind of musket hits a person, which is just a small hole. It cannot die if it is not shot to the vital point. However, the machine guns used by Ye Junwen and others exploded directly when they hit a person. Even if they did not die immediately, they would lose their combat power instantly. Not to mention, this thing was still fired continuously.
The knight who escaped alive had completely lost his will to fight, and he was completely in panic, feeling like he had seen hell. In fact, it was almost the same. People who had seen that kind of scene all had the same reaction, and that was not a battle at all, but just going up to die.
Even if he knew what he was facing, Conrad didn't know how to deal with it. He had never heard of such long-range weapons, and could not control them. Moreover, he had no time to think about this matter now, because the battle on the front line could no longer withstand it.
"Legislative Commander, the right wing in the front row collapses, please make a decision quickly!" The adjutant next to him said anxiously. If this continues, their formation will collapse.
"Legislature Commander, the enemy's cavalry team has begun to act!"
"Damn it! Damn it!" Conrad had fought for half his life and had never felt so frustrated. Facing the front, he was about to lose for no reason. This was even more frustrating than being ambushed by the enemy.
What should I do now? To be honest, Conrad has no choice. He can't solve this 1,000-man army. If he can't solve them, the right wing will definitely collapse. Conrad doesn't know how to fight this battle.
"Retreat...ret..." Conrad said suddenly after holding it in for a long time.
"What?" All the generals were stunned. Retreat at this time? The war between the two sides had just started for more than half an hour. How could they retreat? If they retreat at this time, they would be chased and beaten to death.
"Retreat!" Conrad shouted again, this time it was very clear.
Conrad's judgment was quite fast, and it was true that the situation on the battlefield was a little uncontrollable. I said before that the cavalry team was waiting for the opponent's formation to attack after a problem. At this time, Ye Junwen and his cavalry team also went out because the opponent's formation had begun to collapse. On the plain, infantry without formations faced the cavalry and delivered vegetables. Conrad did not have machine guns, so of course this was really delivered vegetables.
The cavalry team joined the battlefield, and the situation was tilted towards Ye Junwen. At this time, Conrad also realized that he would definitely lose in this game. Of course, the retreat will be chased by the enemy and the losses will be heavy, but if you continue to drag it on, you can turn the tables? At least Conrad feels it is impossible now. Since this is the case, it is better to retreat quickly and reduce the losses.
