Chapter 362: The Celestial's Weapon
After facing the hopelessness of breaking the barbed wire, the remaining Green Battalion soldiers seemed to feel the last despair.
To stay where you are is to die, and to go back is to die.
Surrender seems to be the best way to go.
Even if I don't know what the outcome will be in the future, it is at least much better than dying a tragic death right now.
Soon, the surrounding green battalion soldiers also lost their swords and surrendered.
They are lying on their stomachs, squatting, kneeling, or even sitting on the ground. But no matter what, they are shouting: I surrender, surrender ...
Seeing this, the bandit army in front seemed to be no longer interested in them, and the bullets did not greet them again. And at this moment, the cavalry behind them also rushed up.
"Smack... Bang bang..."
The gunfire of the bandit army did not stop because of the surrender of these green battalion soldiers, but only fired the bullets that should have been fired at them at the cavalry behind.
Compared to a single Green Battalion soldier, it seems that it is much easier to hit a target in the cavalry.
In an instant, the cavalry of the Qing army, which was concentrated on the firepower of the bandit army, fell a lot. However, even so, the cavalry that had been hit and fell on their backs could not stop the advance of the army.
The pace of the cavalry's advance was still very fast.
Looking at the huge cavalry formation that came quickly, those green battalion soldiers who knelt on the ground and surrendered even regretted it a little in their hearts.
If the rebels' position in Ma'anshan was captured by these cavalry, then their surrendered green battalion soldiers would become the biggest joke.
However, before the Green Battalion soldiers could regret it, they heard an additional strange sound from the position of the bandit army that was different from the gunfire in the low wall in front of them.
"Da... Da-da-da..."
"What is this noise? I've never heard it before, so why does it sound so unsettling? At this time, a green battalion soldier who was squatting on the ground asked the person next to him very suspiciously.
"I don't know, I've never heard anything like that. But it sounded like a gunshot, but it was terrifying. The man to his right replied.
Although the gunfire of the bandit army was already quite loud, the sound seemed to faintly overpower the sound of the gunshot.
"Da Da Da..."
The sound of confusion was still ringing, and the neighing screams of the cavalry in the rear continued to intensify.
The green battalion soldier turned his eyes, but saw that the cavalry in the rear was constantly knocked to the ground, and even the bullets from above and down hit the ground and splashed bursts of sand and dust.
"Boom... Hiss... Boom..."
The horses that fell to the ground kept rolling and screaming, and as for the cavalrymen who had fallen off their horses, they had to be crushed to death by either the bullets of the bandit army, or they had to be trampled to death by the horses that rushed up behind them.
And the area where the bullets fell was like a forbidden area, but all the cavalry who passed there were basically swept down by the terrible bullets, and even if they were not swept away by those bullets, they had to be shot down by the bandit army muskets behind the low wall in front.
In that area, people overturned on their backs, and the number of fallen men and horses even directly blocked the path of the cavalry behind them.
At this time, the frightened green battalion turned his head and looked at the position of the bandit suppression army on Ma'anshan. However, the thick white smoke on the battlefield has obscured people's line of sight.
I saw him squint his eyes, trying to see what was on the mountain with the best of his ability.
At this moment, he could faintly see eight flashes of fire appearing in the white smoke. The light of the fire was like a fiery snake breathing fire, and the strange sound of gunfire seemed to come from these eight places.
And behind the fire, it seemed that a huge beast was hidden, ready to devour people.
This situation and this scene made the green battalion soldiers tremble.
"What's that? It's not a human weapon anymore, it's definitely a weapon of the gods. ”
At this moment, I saw that the green battalion soldier bowed deeply to the eight fires with high respect, kowtowed a few times, and at the same time muttered in his mouth: "Don't dare to offend the gods, I know my guilt, I know my guilt..."
Seeing this, the surrounding green battalion soldiers were also scared to death. Even if some people didn't kowtow like this green battalion soldier, they stayed there respectfully and didn't dare to mess around.
"Shoot..."
At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army, which was within thirty zhang of the bandit army, began to throw arrows.
In an instant, the air was overwhelmed by black, all arrows thrown by the Qing army. The powerful rain of arrows fell in an instant, and even the bandit army, which had prepared a wooden shield to block the arrows of the Qing army, suffered a lot of casualties at once.
"Smack... Bang bang bang bang..."
"Shoot..."
"Phew..."
"Whew..."
The two sides went back and forth, and there were constant casualties. However, compared with the casualties of the Qing army, the casualties of the bandit army were negligible.
"Shoot..."
"Whew..."
The bandit army had a geographical advantage in the position, while the Qing army had a numerical advantage in numbers.
Due to the continuous projectile of the cavalry of the Qing army, the continuous black and oppressive rain of arrows in the air suddenly suppressed the bandit army behind the first low wall.
In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, the bandit army behind the first low wall had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield and return to the mountains to recuperate.
At this time, the first defensive line of the bandit army in the northwest of Ma'anshan had been transferred to the first trench built by the bandit army on Ma'anshan.
The soldiers in the first trench had already opened fire, and even the bandit army in the second low wall had already begun to shoot.
"Smack... Bang bang bang bang..."
The guns were intense, and the war was still fierce and brutal.
Although the Qing cavalry successfully forced back the bandit army inside the first low wall with the help of projectiles, they also suffered heavy losses.
From the tower through the mine-laying area, they were hit by the revolver machine guns, and in a short period of time, they suffered more than 1,000 casualties among the cavalry.
It is important to know that cavalry is different from infantry. The infantry only needs to give a knife to eat and train for a few more days. In addition to familiarizing him with horses, the cavalry also had to teach him various combat skills and the use of various weapons, which was very time-consuming and costly.
It is precisely like this that every cavalry is like a treasure in the hearts of the generals.
And now in a short period of time, more than a thousand cavalry have been lost, which makes Eji. He Mule's heart ached as if it were dripping blood.
However, this loss has paid off, at least the first line of defense of the anti-thieves will be taken by the Qing army.
"Rush... Drive..."
Because the cavalry's projectile suppressed the bandit army behind the first low wall, the cavalry, which had been strafed by the revolver's machine gun and had a great demoralization, now regained a lot of morale.
