Chapter 159: Hunting Scouts
"Drive!"
"Woo ......!"
"Hurry up and prepare for the enemy scouts to come!"
After a scout led the enemy scout to a predetermined ambush circle, he immediately dismounted and commanded.
"Okay! Just look at it, you can't escape a single one! "I saw a sniper skillfully set up his sniper rifle.
"Click......"
Everyone else was loaded and ready for the approaching enemy scouts.
The field scouts were arguably the most elite fighters of the Suzaku Army, and everyone was armed to the teeth. As long as it is a weapon that the Suzaku Army has, almost all of them are equipped except for cannons.
"Dada...... Da Da ......"
And just when everyone was getting ready, an enemy scout team appeared in their sight.
The scouts of the Imperial Patrol Battalion are also their most elite warriors, riding endurance six-legged horses and armed with silver and iron armor mixed with energetic metal, which is not only extremely defensive but also lightweight.
As for the vitality metal, it is a special metal that has good conductivity to the vitality. Back then, the Spiritual Essence Iron Mother that Yufeng Hall was seized by the Huangfu Dragon Sword was a very cherished vitality metal.
"Everyone, prepare!"
When the enemy scouts were about to enter range, the reconnaissance team leader immediately ordered.
So as the enemy scouts got closer and closer, the reconnaissance team leader suddenly shouted, "Fire!" β
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
After a burst of gunfire, three or four of the enemy scouts fell from their horses.
"Woohoo......! There is an ambush! β
After the surprise attack, the enemy scouts panicked. But the scouts were well trained, and soon discovered where the attack was coming from, and instead of retreating, they rode their horses and rushed over, threatening to slay the enemy to the ground!
"Drive! Over there, kill them! β
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
And those scouts did not panic, their faces did not change in the face of the galloping knights, and they were calm and unusually aimed and shot. The sniper, in particular, had almost one of his shots off his horse.
"Damn it! What kind of firearm is this! β
At this time, the leader of the patrol battalion scouts was stunned, he didn't expect the firearms of these anti-thieves to be so sharp. The two sides have not yet touched, and half of their men are almost dead.
"Smack!"
"Ahh
Just as the leader of the scouts lost his mind, a gunshot rang out, and he suddenly felt as if he had been sledgehammered in the chest, and then he fell off his horse with a scream.
"Hmph, hit!"
The Suzaku Army sniper in the distance sneered, and then skillfully pulled the bolt.
"Poof......! Ahem......! β
After landing, the scout leader spat out a mouthful of blood and coughed incessantly.
Then he looked down and saw a black hole in his chest emitting green smoke. The set of silver and iron armor that he regarded as a treasure seemed to be torn apart like papier-mΓ’chΓ©. Immediately afterwards, he took out the ancestral heart guard from his chest, and the heart guard was impressively embedded with a hot lead bullet, only to see that the lead bullet had been completely deformed under the violent impact.
Looking at the deformed lead bullet, the scout leader's face turned pale, if it weren't for this heart guard, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, with a dull gunshot, the scout leader's head disappeared in an instant.
When the sniper of the Suzaku Army saw it, he shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Zhang Daniu, you kid snatched my head again, and I have already defeated that guy." β
But Zhang Daniu sneered and said, "But he's not dead, is he?" β
Then Zhang Daniu proudly patted the big guy in front of him, and indeed compared with the standard rifle of the Suzaku Army, Zhang Daniu used a lot of gun calibers.
The standard rifle of the Suzaku Army is the dog rifle, and there are two main models of this rifle, which are the infantry type and the cavalry type.
And in addition to this there is a special model, both the sniper type.
The design and structure of the sniper dog rifle has not changed in any way, except that the barrel has been lengthened, the bayonet mount has been removed, and a scope has been added. It can use both standard donkey bullets and specialized sniper bullets.
But in addition to the dog-style rifle, the Suzaku Army was armed with a super-heavy rifle with a caliber of twenty-five mm! Because although the design of the dog rifle has excellent performance after being finalized, it also has a big weakness, that is, it is not lethal enough for high-ranking monks.
After testing, the dog-style rifle can penetrate the standard armor of the Tiger Power Army within 300 meters, and cause fatal damage to the monks of the Battle Spirit Realm and below, but it is difficult to pose a lethal threat to the monks of the Transformation Armor Realm.
Because it is a watershed after the monk cultivates to the Armor Realm, the strong people in the Armor Realm can release their true qi, condense their true qi and form a true qi armor outside the body, and the name of the armor also comes from this. And this set of True Qi armor is extremely defensive, and it is really difficult to pose a threat with a dog-style rifle.
Therefore, combined with the large-caliber rifled front-loading gun used in the original test, the Suzaku Army specially designed and equipped this super-heavy rifle with a caliber comparable to a small artillery. After all, Situ Qingyun could use this large-caliber rifled gun to kill a Martial Dao Realm cultivator, so the power of this super heavy rifle was extremely amazing.
As a weapon dedicated to hunting martial arts realm cultivators, Li Yun frantically equipped it to the class level, specially used to deal with the enemy's high-level cultivators.
Similarly, this super-heavy rifle is also divided into a normal type and a sniper type, and as the scout who has the most frequent contact with enemy masters, they are naturally equipped with a sniper type.
However, although the power of this super heavy rifle is amazing, the recoil is also extremely strong, and ordinary people only need to shoot a shot, and the strong recoil can shatter his shoulder, so the people who use this rifle are low-level martial arts monks.
And Zhang Daniu is the user of this super heavy rifle, he is a low-level martial arts monk. Although his cultivation is not high, he is a body cultivator who specializes in physical cultivation and is extremely strong, and he is the most suitable person to use this kind of rifle.
Just now, Zhang Daniu saw that the scout leader was not dead after being shot, and thought that he was a high-level monk, so he couldn't help but make up for it.
So a moment later, the scouts of the patrol battalion were already on the spot. And it was just a skirmish between the scouts of both sides, and there were several more battles like this.
The scouts of the field reconnaissance battalion and the special mountain combat battalion were in groups of three or five, either luring the enemy to ambush, or laying mines, or shooting from a distance, in short, they showed their skills, gave full play to the advantages of the Suzaku Army's firearms, and hunted down all the scouts of the patrol battalion.
Although the Suzaku Army also worked hard in white-knuckle warfare, Li Yun never advocated that the soldiers of the Suzaku Army use white-knuckle warfare to settle the battle. Therefore, he always admonished his subordinates to use their firearms to their advantage and use them to destroy the enemy from medium and long distances.
"Why is there no latest military newspaper until now! Why! In the patrol battalion army, He Changqing angrily scolded his subordinates.
"My lord, since none of the scouts have returned until now, we ......"
"That's why! It's going to be a war, but we don't even know where the enemy is, how many people there are! It's a! But He Changqing didn't listen to his subordinates' explanations at all.
After calming down, He Changqing ordered: "Send more people immediately, send all the scouts out, and be sure to find out the enemy's situation for me!" β
"No!"
In fact, He Changqing was so irritable, on the one hand, because all the scouts sent out did not come back, and on the other hand, because he was nervous.
When He Changqing first set off, he was indeed very confident, and he believed that those anti-thieves would never be the opponents of officers and soldiers. But with all the scouts silent, and the ignorance of the enemy's situation, he became more and more disturbed.
At this time, He Changqing didn't know that his headless march had already entered the encirclement of the Vermilion Bird Army.
"Report! All units have arrived at their designated positions and are ready to encircle the enemy! A herald from the Suzaku Army headquarters came in and reported.
"yes, got it."
Li Yun nodded and waved his hand, motioning for the herald to go down, and then he stared at the map again and pondered.
After receiving the news that the Ruzhou Mansion had sent troops, Li Yun was thinking about how to encircle and annihilate this enemy. He first sent Luo Li and Wolf Tao to defeat the enemy's scouts, and then set up an ambush on the path of the enemy's march, and at the same time sent heavy troops to outflank him, trying not to let a single person slip through the net.
However, although Li Yun's arrangements were thorough, he didn't have much confidence. First, he had little experience in commanding such a large-scale battle for the first time, and second, because of the limitations of the means of communication, it was difficult for various units to coordinate and command.
In fact, after the order to encircle the enemy army was issued, the entire battle was out of Li Yun's control. Because of the situation encountered by the various departments, he had no way of knowing, and even if there was an accident, Li Yun did not make adjustments, and the command of the temporary battle could only rely on the decisions of the commanders of each department.
Now Li Yun finally understands why most of the ancient wars were based on siege warfare and the battle for strategic points. Because there are no conditions for fighting a sports war, it is difficult to command an army of hundreds of thousands in the field, and you may not even know where your subordinates are, let alone command a battle.
Therefore, in this encirclement and annihilation battle, Li Yun can only take care of the part in front of him, and the others can only trust his subordinates.
"Big brother, the enemies have all entered our ambush circle, do you want to attack immediately!" At this time, Xu Tianhua suddenly came over and said.
And Li Yun looked up and said, "Is it time?" β
"Half an hour to go!"
"Then wait until the appointed time to attack!"
"No!"
The poor communication made Li Yun have to use time to grasp the timing of the battle. Although the herald had already reported that all the troops had arrived at the designated position, Li Yun still wanted to wait until all the troops were fully ready.
Then looking at his bare wrist, Li Yun couldn't help but say softly: "It seems that the watch must be made as soon as possible!" β
