Chapter 87: Liu Bei's End
At present, the battle loss rate of Liu Bei's troops is not high, because it is under the cover of artillery, so the opponent's point fire counterattack is quite limited, and the cavalry who went to the raid was reduced to less than 200 people.
In the past, if so many people had to die in a single charge, it might have been a little heart-wrenching. However, compared to the previous casualties of seven or eight hundred, or even thousands, two hundred people are indeed very few.
This made Xiahoudun have a certain confidence in tackling tough problems, and it was rare that his hand had almost recovered, and his strength was able to play out of eight. Ninety percent, but he is still confident that he can destroy only two pillboxes, especially with artillery fire as cover.
The cavalry assaulted, completely ignoring the thistles within thirty meters of the position, and they frantically threw grenades in the direction of the opponent's trenches and pillboxes. Xiahoudun took aim even more, and directly threw two grenades into the muzzle of the machine gun in the pillbox.
If there were people in the bunker, it was estimated that they would be in danger at this moment. Fortunately, the soldiers inside got Xu Le's order and quickly retreated into the trench, relying on the anti-artillery holes in the trench to dodge, which avoided a fatal attack.
After the explosion stopped, they quickly came out of the anti-artillery hole and continued to set up machine guns for point fire. Not being able to open it all is very frustrating to be, but it's better than not being allowed to shoot. There is no way to kill and injure the opponent's soldiers and soldiers, so they aim at the opponent's generals and officers.
Not only them, but with Xu Le's permission, a sniper was also shooting at Xiahoudun.
It's just that Xiahoudun was mentally prepared, as long as he felt that a sense of crisis was coming, he immediately turned over and dodged on the side of the horse, which avoided the fatal blow of the sniper rifle. However, the machine gunners in the trenches had been preparing for a long time and quickly fired at him.
Xiahoudun couldn't dodge it now, and suddenly a few blood flowers bloomed on his body. Fall off the horse. Fortunately, the guards quickly rescued him, which brought him back to the position.
The bullet didn't hit the vital point, but if you didn't do it, you would have lost too much blood and died. In any case, Xiahoudun temporarily lost his ability to fight, and Liu Bei immediately ordered him to be taken down for quick treatment. The military doctor had no experience in surgery, so he could only find a way to stop the bleeding for Xiahoudun first. As for the bullets in his body, he can only ask for more blessings.
With this encounter, Liu Bei also became steady, advancing little by little, and testing a little bit. He even selected a 30-man daring force to charge into the enemy position with a small number of captured spiritual explosive mines.
The two sides are rubbing off little by little, and time is passing little by little.
After spending almost half an hour, Liu Bei finally broke through the outer defense line and captured the two pillboxes. At the same time, the trenches were occupied. It's a pity that Xu Lebu has quickly transferred weapons and ammunition, so that Liu Bei can't get anything.
At this moment, Liu Bei still had ammunition left for five shellings, but the grenades had bottomed out, and there were less than 3,000 cavalry left. Each person can also throw a grenade again, and then there will be no grenades to use at all.
The problem is that at this moment, Liu Bei also entered the artillery attack range of the Tiger tank, and the range of the artillery on both sides was about the same. However, the power is completely different, so there is no advantage to speak of.
"General. The artillery overheated, and there was no way to cool down the temperature for the time being. If you continue to fire, you will probably have a problem. Cao Xiu's report at this moment undoubtedly made the situation worse.
Fortunately, now Liu Bei has a new advantage, that is, this criss-crossing trench, they can completely move in the trench, and then wait for the opportunity to attack.
The cavalry is not used for the time being. There was no point in using cavalry in a trench position. The only road leading directly to the rear is also more like the road of death at the moment, and the army walking on it is completely a fixed target.
"When will the artillery cool down?" Liu Bei asked.
"A conservative estimate is that it will take a quarter of an hour, and we have already taken the time to cool down with water and even urine. It's just that the cleaning of the inner wall is not so easy, and there are too many remnants of black powder! Cao Xiu reported.
"Then the whole army rested for a quarter of an hour. I'll have to get artillery support in a quarter of an hour, no problem, right? Liu Bei asked in an almost unquestioning tone.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Cao Xiu had no choice at all, and he also knew that the military situation was urgent now.
During this period, Liu Bei was not without temptation to march towards the core area, but as long as he crossed a certain line, the opponent would fiercely counterattack, and the strength was completely different from before. Not to mention the occasional artillery fire, making it almost impossible for them to move an inch.
Looking at this situation, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "Without the cover of artillery, our army can't advance at all!" ”
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was already time, and seeing that the other party did not attack, Xu Le waited for another quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour later, regardless of whether Zhou Cang arrived or not, they would launch the fiercest counterattack against Liu Bei's troops.
Liu Bei's entry into the trench is the biggest failure, they are not used to the means of skirmishment, and the trench is not convenient to arrange troops, the other party will indeed use a weapon similar to a strong crossbow and a weapon called a fire gun for defense, but the range is completely scum compared to a sniper rifle or even a machine gun.
The three pillboxes were ready to fire with all their might, and in order to increase their firepower, he even renovated the bunkers overnight last night, expanding the firing ports that could only be loaded with one machine gun to the extent that they could accommodate two machine guns.
With such six machine guns firing at the same time, I still don't believe that Liu Beijun can't be wiped out!
But they didn't want to, before they could attack, the opponent's artillery began to fire, and a large number of artillery fell into the position, making a roar. These primitive cannons were not very powerful, but there was one thing that was very annoying, and that was the smoke that filled the air everywhere after the explosion.
These smoke eyes affected Xu Le's vision, making him unable to see the situation inside the trench. In desperation, he could only order the artillery to counterattack in the general direction, and at the same time announced that he would no longer wait for Zhou Cang to counterattack with all his might.
All the machine guns are firing at the same time, and not only that, but the sniper rifles are also aiming at the enemy. There are no scopes, so naturally they can't shoot the enemy from a distance of two miles, they, the sharpshooters. At most, they can only shoot at an enemy from a distance of 500 meters. Of course, the main thing is to shoot at the opponent's torso, otherwise you may even miss the target.
A large number of spirit explosive shells poured directly into the trench without money, but fortunately, Liu Bei and the others quickly hid in the anti-artillery hole and avoided the fatal blow. Rao is like this, more than forty percent of the soldiers are consumed almost instantaneously.
Xu Lejun's strength also made Liu Bei afraid, and at this moment he didn't want to think about anything. I just want to go back quickly, and then even if I go south to attack Jiaozhou, or even give up everything and go to Yizhou, it's better than sending me to death here!
Sometimes people are like this, as soon as the thought comes up, then there is no way to suppress it anymore.
After Cao Xiu died in the sniper of the other party, Liu Bei had no intention of continuing to defend to the death, and quickly left the trench with his headquarters, during which two percent of the soldiers died under the attack of the other party.
"Big deal. Let's withdraw! At this moment, if you go to Jingzhou with the remnants, you can still help Meng De to some extent, and you can also support Xiahou Yuanbu no matter how bad it is! Liu Bei gave himself a very good excuse.
Xiahoudun was in a coma at the moment, so naturally he couldn't oppose him, and although Cao Chun was unwilling, he really had no other choice at the moment, so he could only acquiesce in this decision.
The army began to retreat quickly, but how could Xu Le allow them to retreat safely? So they immediately pursued with Tiger tanks. With the maximum abandonment of artillery shells, six hundred rounds were loaded. In other words, there will be more than 6,000 rounds, which will naturally be launched towards Liu Bei's side in pursuit.
The soldiers below also joined in the pursuit, and they also had something similar to a fire gun in their hands, but it was a psionic gun, which was simply a weapon that used aura to shoot bullets. Previously, it was considered that heavy machine gun strafing required a large amount of aura, so it naturally could not be used, but now it is in pursuit. Heavy machine guns are suspended, and it will not be a problem!
Liu Beijun can be said to have received an unprecedented pursuit, and a large number of bullets continued to pour down towards them. However, after three minutes of fighting, he had to stop the fire.
Xu Le only realized at this moment that the original spiritual energy had been exhausted, and the new spiritual energy had not yet been replenished. Smoke from those positions. It was able to block the conduction of aura. Psionic weapons without a supply of Aura are no different from waste.
In desperation, he could only suspend the pursuit and wait for the replenishment of psionic energy.
Liu Bei is now a frightened bird, and he only thinks about escaping at the moment, but Cao Chun is bold and careful, and soon realizes the fact that the other party does not pursue, but cannot pursue. So it was suggested that he take the remaining 3,000 cavalry back to the test.
Originally, Liu Bei planned to refuse this proposal, but what Cao Chun said was serious, and he couldn't help but be a little moved. But he didn't dare to hold it up, so he just sent Cao Chun with a thousand cavalry to test it.
Cao Chun also felt that this was safer, so he immediately took the most elite cavalry from before to kill him.
Waiting for him was more than 500 spirit explosion bombs, and the main energy supply of this thing was the spirit energy battery at the level of explosion bombs, so even if there was no heaven and earth aura to absorb, it could still exert its effect.
Fortunately, Cao Chun reacted quickly, and the army quickly turned around, which saved him from losses. However, at this moment, he did not dare to continue to probe and quickly caught up with Liu Bei's army.
It was only when he came to Liu Bei's side that he found that it was not much better. A cavalry force, already unaware and appearing on the battlefield, launched a charge against Liu Bei.
It was Zhou Cangjun, who was long overdue, and he did miss the fiercest battle, but at the moment he picked up the cheapest.
Although the spirit used by their army is also Lingwu, it is mainly based on the big knife, and they don't care if the sharp spirit text is released, as long as the big knife can still cut people.
Under the charge, Liu Bei's headquarters was also scattered, and Liu Bei was surrounded after a while.
Liu Bei quickly charged towards Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang also met it, but unfortunately neither side could launch a special move, just because the concentration of the surrounding heaven and earth aura was too low.
After some confrontation, Liu Bei was even more disadvantaged, and finally had to shout: "I am a member of the Han family, you can't kill me!" ”
When Zhou Cang heard this, he disdained it, snorted coldly, and shouted: "Who has admitted it?!" ”
After speaking, he went down with a knife and directly cut off Liu Bei's head...... (To be continued.) )
PS: Liu Bei's deeds are almost a history of D silk counterattack, which is extremely inspirational and excellent, but I don't like it. Without him, Cao Cao could have unified China at least thirty years earlier. Even if Sima Yi's descendants succeed in seizing the throne, and China has thirty years of recuperation, at least they will not be afraid of the Hu people in the north......
