Chapter 205: Massacre
The chariot slowly stopped at the edge of the canyon, which, according to the information of the drone reconnaissance, was the only way for the enemy.
Ten chariots lined up, Captain Jackson turned on the communicator, and soon, new instructions were delivered.
"The enemy is approaching the canyon, Captain Jackson, please be ready for battle."
"Understood, Commander." Captain Jackson spoke, commanding ten chariots to split into two teams and hide behind the ridges on either side of the canyon.
Xia Yu asked for a telescope and climbed the ridge, holding the telescope to look into the distance, and after a while, dense smoke and dust appeared in the field of vision.
Five thousand cavalry may not sound like much, but in fact the scale is very large, and the smoke and dust kicked up during the run are as spectacular as a sandstorm.
"It's coming! Here it comes! He ran down the ridge at a rapid pace, shouting loudly.
"Everyone is ready to fight!" Jackson shouted, and with a clatter of bullets loading and the bolt being pulled into the car, all the barrels pointed to the canyon ahead.
At this moment, Yumengander did not know that he had fallen into a trap, and he was thinking about how the battle should proceed as he marched with his troops.
For the 'evil army' he had never met, he had already calculated.
Eumond was not a fool, much less a reckless man, or he would not have become an Overseer, in fact, he was much more shrewd than he seemed.
Because of this, he didn't take the enemies described by the oracles very seriously.
People in this era are too fond of exaggerating the facts, a few thousand troops can be claimed to be 100,000, tens of thousands of troops can be claimed to be million, hunting a big lizard can dare to say that they have killed a dragon, and if there is a manor at home, they dare to claim the castle, Yumeng Gangde has seen too many such things in his life, so he takes it for granted that those few divine envoys must also exaggerate.
However, he did not think that the other party was completely lying, and it was clear that this new enemy had some kind of new weapon, which could fire projectiles, and the range and power were likely to be far greater than that of bows and arrows.
But he does not believe that a few weapons can decide the outcome of a war.
And with ten times the number of troops, no matter how fierce the enemy's 'arrows' are, it is not a problem.
But he is still more cautious, so he still 'cautiously' decided to launch a night attack, the night is the best cover for cavalry, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it can't exert its power when he can't see the enemy, so he decided to slow down, save horsepower at the same time, just arrive at the destination at night, and then launch an attack, the power of the dark goddess will protect her followers. It's a pity that he didn't know that there was another thing called a night vision device in this world.
However, he was destined to not be able to launch this night attack, because at this moment, his army was already within range of machine guns.
One of the Prairie Lords asked, "Lord Overseer, are we going to speed up?" If this continues, I'm afraid it will soon get dark. ”
Of his 5,000 cavalry, 3,000 were steppe cavalry, and most of these steppe cavalry were based on tribes, ranging from thousands to hundreds, and the leaders were all tribal lords, and the one who asked questions was a lord named Daxai who had a relatively high status.
"Hmph, it was just as dark as it was, and the gentleman told the king that the enemy had some kind of powerful weapon in his hand, which could fire powerful projectiles, and if he charged hard during the day, he would definitely lose a lot, so although it was a little less honorable, we had to launch a night attack.
The enemy was only five hundred people. Just let our cavalry army rush into the enemy's camp, and it will be won. ”
"I see, I understand Lord Overseer, and I command the warriors to march slowly."
However, at this moment, behind the ridges on both sides of the canyon in the distance, a strange roar (engine) was faintly heard.
Eumond Gand looked towards the horizon in the distance, and could see a strange line of cars, slowly driving out from behind the ridge, forming a row hundreds of paces away from them.
What's going on? Yumengande instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he didn't worry too much, it was just ten strange cars, and the enemies on it were only dozens of people, and what other threats could not be made, but he was more worried about whether there were other ambushes, but this canyon was quite open, and the ambushes of the brigade could not hide.
To be cautious, he waved his hand, "Hoffman, Daxey, take your men over and see who those are." ”
"Yes Overseer, I'll be right-"
With a roar, Daxai's head burst open like a broken watermelon, and the whole person swayed on the horse for a moment, and then fell off the horse.
Eumont Gonder was taken aback, and his heart was shocked and frightened for a while, but in the end, it was the Overseer who had been fighting for many years, and he immediately reacted, "Enemy attack! Prepare for battle. ”
"There are enemies, protect the Overseers!" The guards behind him rushed up and blocked the front.
In the distance, Ergouzi put away his sniper rifle and shook his head with some regret, but the dragoon next to him slapped him on the shoulder, "Wocao, your kid's marksmanship is not bad, a headshot." ”
"It's easy to say," Ergouzi said proudly, and said in his heart that I wouldn't tell you that I was aiming at the bearded general next to me.
"But why don't you shoot that beard, I think that guy should be the big boss."
The second dog said confidently: "You don't understand, right, kill the big boss, what if the enemy scares away." ”
In fact, at this moment, Yumengander did have the urge to escape, the enemy's weapons were even more terrifying than described, and he was also a little frightened when he looked at the headless corpse on the ground, but he felt that he still had a chance, the enemy's vehicle seemed to be very heavy, as long as he chased it, he could snatch the weapon.
And although the enemy's weapons are very powerful, the rate of fire does not seem to be fast, and he has an army of five thousand, what are you afraid of.
"Form a cavalry line, form a front, and charge me all at once!"
The two steppe tribes of Hoffman and Daxey, numbering in the thousands, formed a chaotic line and rushed out.
He shouted as he rushed back, making a strange scream.
Jackson, who was leading the team in the distance, shook his head yet, "What a group of primitive savages, listen to my command, all fire!" Cross shooting! ”
Knock knock knock! The dull cannon was the first to fire, and the shells swept through, shattering everyone in their path.
Immediately afterwards, the vehicle-mounted light machine gun also began to fire, and the life was harvested rhythmically.
The light points of the light bullets were still dancing wildly, and the cavalry that rushed to the front almost fell in pieces, but after all, the number of cavalry was as many as 5,000 people.
When rushing to two or three hundred meters, automatic rifles also joined the fire.
Xia Yu also raised the M16, the enemy's black pressure almost did not need to aim, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger, regardless of whether he could hit or not, directly from left to right lateral strafing, a shuttle bullet in the blink of an eye to shoot empty, at least five or six cavalry were killed, such a dense enemy, it is difficult to miss, he changed a magazine, pulled the trigger again, at first it was more restrained, but soon killed crazy, crazy strafing.
The two dogs set up a sniper rifle and fired one shot at a time, and the bullets of the sniper rifle are full of power, often one bullet can penetrate several enemies.
The dragoon looked anxious, the guns he picked were shotguns and micro charges, such a distance was basically no lethality, dry staring could not participate in the battle, anxious to pull the car on top of the soldier who operated the machine gun, "Get out of the way, let me be refreshed - how can this fire?" ”
the cannon and start firing.
Knock knock! Watching the cavalry stumbling into a blur of flesh and blood under the bombardment of machine guns, and lying on the wasteland of the canyon one by one, the dragoons also screamed coolly.
War horses and knights fell in pieces, a short distance of a few hundred meters, but only a few tens of seconds, the 1,000 steppe cavalry who rushed to the front almost suffered more than half of the casualties.
The corpses stretched all the way down the canyon, and everywhere there were screams of dead men and dying horses.
This slaughterhouse-like image frightened the cavalry behind to stop, but the bullets would not stop firing because they stopped charging, and the reaper life was still crazy.
Yumengand's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse from fear and anger, "Don't stop! Rush up, rush up! They ran out of arrows! For the glory of the Goddess of Darkness, rush! ”
Indeed, the firepower in front of him seemed to have weakened, and the cavalry under his command were all brute warriors after all, and with the blessing of a little religious fanaticism, he mustered up the courage to launch another wave of charge.
In fact, it was not that the bullets ran out, but that both the machine gun and the cannon were a little overheated, the barrel needed to be replaced, and the remaining automatic rifles were not enough to block the enemy.
"WE RETREAT, HIT AND RUN!" Jackson yelled at the walkie-talkie, and all the chariots started almost at the same time, and began to retreat to the rear, while running, the machine guns and machine guns on the cars were still firing, and the cavalry who were far away were a little better, the bullets were spread out more, and it was a little difficult to hit.
Those cavalrymen felt that they had finally seen an opportunity, since the enemy had fled, they must have been afraid, and they pursued frantically, and even Yumengande personally followed with the imperial knights who pressed the formation.
The cavalry lost their formation as they ran, and as the cavalry in front of them were shot over one by one, Yumengand, who was in the middle of the formation, and the Overseer banners behind him were exposed.
Captain Jackson: "I seem to see an important target?" All units, note that a cross-fire is performed on that flag area. ”
The machine guns and cannons were all aimed at the past in an instant, and the tongues of fire swept like a raging storm, and Yumengander noticed that most of the soldiers around him were suddenly missing, and then he felt his body light, and flew violently.
He snapped and fell to the ground, and the pain was transmitted, and he looked down at him, and the lower half of his body was gone, along with the half of his beloved war horse.
The Overseer knife in his hand flew far away, landing in a cloud of rubble and gravel.
A group of knights rushed over, spotted him, and immediately surrounded him.
"Overseer! How are you! ”
Eumont Gand glared at the young knight, and said to himself, "What do you say about me, I'm half fucking gone."
"Quick...... Fall back...... Retreat quickly, retreat with the knights...... Put everything here ...... Report to Wang ......"
