Chapter 358: The Great Battle was narrowly won
Qianhu gave an order, dozens of furlong machines and red-clothed cannons on this side of the position roared in unison, and the dense shells flew out of the muzzle and went straight to the demon thief front, this time the soldiers' shells were not crooked, and the dense bullet rain flew directly above the head of the demon thief, and the flowering bombs exploded on the top of the demon thief's head, harvesting the demon thief in pieces; The refraction of the solid bullet through the ground bounced in the demon thief town, knocking down the entire column of demon thieves, and only one round of artillery fire tore several holes in Lei Youde's elite front, and the demon thief front was shaken.
Seeing the unstable line of the demon thief front, the sergeants pointed at the demon thief and laughed, they saw that the demon thief was strong outside and put their hearts back in their stomachs, they laughed at the demon thief for being as timid as a mouse, and cursed the eighteenth generation of the demon thief's ancestors playfully, and even their hands for loading ammunition were much calmer and more powerful than before.
Soon, the second round of bombardment by the official artillery came to the head of the demon thief, and before the cannon was fired, Qianhu specially instructed the artillery under him to point to the banner with the word thunder on the ground, so after this round of artillery bombardment, the demon thief under the banner was almost completely destroyed.
After two rounds of artillery bombardment by the officers and soldiers, the bandits' front began to move. Different from the first round of blows, after receiving the second round of blows, the demon thieves immediately made up for the lack of personnel in the queue, and they did not retreat because the "main formation" where the handsome flag was bombarded by cannons.
In order to eliminate the artillery as soon as possible and avoid the shelling, these thieves began to speed up, and the right-wing army formation of the center line that faced the shelling was the first to rush to the front, which forced the gunners to switch to shotguns after the third round of shelling, ready to kill and wound the invading enemy.
The morale of the demon thieves seems to have been stimulated in some way, and they bravely move forward against the shells of the officers and soldiers, and when someone falls, the back row and the people around them will fill in the gap, and they will never let the battle line be missed.
The demon thieves are so tenacious, almost desperate, if they rush forward, they will definitely wipe out all the gunners, but the problem is that the gunners are not fighting alone, behind them is Qi Rongxun and his phalanx. The phalanx, which Qi Rongxun had improvised for, numbered nearly 2,000 people, with the first row of the Imperial Forest Army armed with long knives, followed by a row of lancers, and then the Shotgunners and other sergeants running forward. They rushed forward from the left side of the gunners and went to the front after the gunners had fired the last round of shotguns.
After three rounds of artillery bombardment by the official army, the demon thieves finally rushed to the front of the official army after leaving a corpse all the way, although these demon thieves who were re-assembled by Lei Youde were only less than one-tenth of the troops, but their number was as large as that of the entire army of the official army, after rushing through the fire network composed of the artillery fire of the official army, the demon thieves thought that they no longer had to put these people in front of them in their eyes, there were too few people in front of them, and they were not even qualified to let the demon thieves stuff their teeth.
The target of the demon thieves is the main force of the officers and soldiers who are in a line to chase and kill, and the leader of the demon thief team keeps giving orders to fight as long as they face a few phalanxes of the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, and the other teams continue to move forward and not fall in love.
Of course, the demon thieves also found the Royal Forest Army led by Qi Rongxun who rushed up from the back row, and the demon thieves saw the long knife soldiers who charged at the front, but the demon thieves did not think so, because the spears in the demon thieves' own hands were enough to knock down the officers and soldiers before the blade slashed at them.
For this situation, the demon thieves are naturally happy to see it, these elites who can wear armor have survived dozens of vicious battles with the official army, and the official soldiers they have encountered before have never been so stupid. The demon thieves felt that they had the chance to win, so they quickened the pace of their feet, and the infantry of the whole three phalanxes came from three sides with spears, and surrounded Qi Rongxun on three sides, vowing to pierce all the officers and soldiers with less than 2,000 people in front of them with a single charge.
At the same time as the demon thief charged quickly, Qi Rongxun also led his sergeants to accelerate into the charging state, and the long knife men who rushed in the first row had their eyes sharp, their hands were calm, and a row of long knives were stood straight in front of the abdomen by the soldiers, and the blades pointed at the demon thieves. The two teams quickly entered the impact distance under the impact of each other, and the demon thieves on the opposite side shouted wildly, noisily like a herd of beasts rushing down from the hillside, while the officers and soldiers were so quiet that only the sound of footsteps and breathing was there.
The soldiers intersected, and the demon thief took the lead in attacking because the weapon was longer, and the officers and soldiers only listened to Qi Rongxun's order, and the whole row of long knife hands stepped forward, waving the knife upward, and the spear stabbed by the demon thief was knocked open by the back of the long knife and brushed to the top of the head. The attacking demon thieves exclaimed in surprise, but it was too late, even if the spears were taken away after the rapid running and charge, their people could not stop, and the long knives raised by the officers and soldiers were just up to the attack distance.
The blade is newly researched, the cold light is flashing, and what is even more frightening is that the demon thief who is facing this terrifying cold light will be pushed forward by the person behind him to hit the knife edge, at that moment the picture seems to stop, the demon thief who twisted his limbs and tried to stop looked up at the blade on the top in horror, and the resolute soldiers of the Royal Forest Army tightened the muscles of the whole body like a sculpture and raised the knife high, just waiting for the moment of attack to put all their body strength into the fatal blow.
It's powerful, it's suffocating, it's a violent beauty that can make people feel so powerful that everyone in the painting holds their breath and doesn't dare to let time slip away from them, because in the blink of an eye, the scene will turn from a picture scroll to hell.
Sure enough, after Qi Rongxun's order, the royal forest soldiers shouted in unison, the word "chop" fell, the entire knife wall was slashed, and the blade that broke through the air and slashed straight at the demon thief who came up in front of him, and in a burst of screams, the white light turned into a yin wind, and the yin wind set off a turbid wave, and the hot blood flew into the air to form a red cloud, and under the red cloud was the demon thief whose neck was cut off by a long knife fell to the ground in pain.
The thieves who were lucky not to be hurt by the blade were not lucky, the long blade had already reached into the thief's arms, and after falling, it headed towards the thief's forearm. There is no armor on the inside of the forearm, and the blade is cut directly to the flesh and bones, and by the time the Imperial Forest Army makes a move, the ground is already full of stumps and broken arms.
Rushing to the front to face the management bureau, all the demon thieves in the first row of your ancestors died under the royal forest saber, and the demon thieves who followed up in the back row were furious when they saw this, and shouted that they rushed forward to avenge their comrades. The Royal Forest Army who had just finished slashing had not had time to stop their moves, which was an excellent reality for the demon thieves to attack, but the demon thieves forgot that behind the long knife hands were those long lance hands, and the horse lances of the official army were longer than the spears of the demon thieves.
I saw a group of guards squatting down with knives, and the lancers behind them flattened their lances and stabbed forward, and the thieves who rushed up in the second row collided with each other, just like tender meat hitting the chopping board. There was another scream, and then the whole row of demon thieves was pierced by the lance and nailed to the pole, and the thieves who were saved by the armor were knocked to the ground by the lance and crawled back to the back of the formation in panic.
The nightmare didn't end for the thieves, for behind the lancers there were shotgunners ready to fire, and the loaded shotgunners extended their barrels out of the shoulders of the lancers in the front row, and then there was a roar. The pungent smoke of gunpowder erupted from the muzzle of the gun, lingering over the heads of the soldiers for a long time, and the demon thieves in front of the muzzle were shot to the end, and the iron armor on their bodies was no different from paper in front of the shotgun.
This attack was too different from what the demon thief had imagined, and he originally thought that he could trample to death the officers and soldiers in front of him who were using the mantis arms as a car just by stepping on it, but what he didn't expect was that the demon thief phalanx that rushed up head-on after a charge was directly penetrated. Maybe it's because the number of demon thieves has decreased, or maybe it's because Lei Youde doesn't want to let his team trample on each other anymore, anyway, this time the demon thieves lined up in a long formation with crane wings, and only lined up a single row of phalanxes and rushed towards the official army, and this blow broke all the demon thief fronts.
The other two demon thief phalanxes from the arch impact were Qi Rongxun's flanks, with Qi Rongxun's troops, he could not send enough people to defend on both sides, if these two demon thief phalanxes attacked Qi Rongxun and drowned Qi Rongxun, the results of Qi Rongxun's annihilation of the enemy in front of him could only pull a cushion for himself before he died.
According to Qi Rongxun's assumption, he planned to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the demon thieves threatening the two wings after crushing the demon thief phalanx in front of him with one blow, but to Qi Rongxun's surprise, the artillerymen behind him saved his team.
The gunners of the Shenji battalion did not withdraw after the demon thieves rushed up, they used all their strength to speed up the reloading of ammunition, and when Qi Rongxun and the demon thieves were hard to fight, these gunners had already aimed their guns at the other two demon thief phalanxes that surged up on both sides, these two demon thief phalanxes were out of touch with the front phalanx attack because they wanted to outflank them, and at the moment of this one after the other, the gunners loaded the cannons, and after a "ignition" order, the shotguns came out of their disembowels and went straight to the demon thieves.
Dense shotgun projectiles splattered out of the narrow muzzle under the squeeze of violently expanding gunpowder, and scattered at the moment of disemboweling, just covering the two demon thief phalanxes that rushed up. After the galloping projectile hit the demon thief, the whole body was torn off, because the trajectory of the collision refraction pushed the projectile in all directions, and then knocked the demon thief down and tore it apart, and then the entire battlefield was covered in thick gunsmoke.
When the roar of the artillery passed, the positions around Qi Rongxun were all cleared, and no one could reappear from the smoke of gunpowder, only the thick smoke of gunpowder and the rustling of footsteps a little farther away.
Qi Rongxun, who was standing in his phalanx, felt that this battlefield was too quiet, even after the cannon roared behind him, it was not normal, he felt that there should be a bloody battle here, but now no one came from the surrounding gunsmoke. Then Qi Rongxun smelled blood, and after the smoke slowly cleared, Qi Rongxun finally knew why no one rushed up again, because the two demon thief phalanxes facing the muzzle had turned into a piece of debris, leaving only the flesh and blood on the ground and the wail of death.
