Chapter Seventy-Five: Collapse

After the barbarians attacking from the west were rained down with grenades, the array began to loosen, and the southern barbarian soldiers were frightened one by one, looking up at the walls of the port of Champang, not knowing how many such iron lumps were thrown out of the city tower.

At this time, the Marines fired another volley, and the phalanx of archers who had been targeted fell more than a dozen times, and the archers fled backwards with screams. Although they were extremely brave when they fought against the Annamites in peacetime, they were beaten without stopping at all when they couldn't hit each other at all, and they were all fatal blows. The casualties of the archers had exceeded forty percent, and the archers who fled in panic stumbled through the middle of the other phalanxes, disrupting the attacking formation. At this time, there was no centurion to rule, and the brute who had lost his bow and arrow waved his hands and shouted and ran around like a fly in the marching procession, frightening the other phalanxes.

The centurions of these barbarians were also dead and wounded at this time, and now they had no bullet pressure from the officers, and they did not know where to fight now. Seeing that this group of archers, who were originally going to provide fire support for themselves, actually retreated from the front, shouting and shouting that they didn't know what had happened, their already slowed pace gradually stopped.

"What's going on up ahead?" "What are these archers doing?" "What should we do?" "What about the centurion?" The soldiers shouted in the noisy array, and no one knew what the people around them were asking.

At this moment, another bunch of grenades flew over. This was at once the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the brutes blew up their nests and fled in swarms, pushing me for fear of being blown up by these grumpy iron bumps. However, they miscalculated, and the explosion of the grenade in the previous attack occurred almost four or five seconds after it hit the ground, and because it exploded in the crowd, the power of the grenade, which was originally not lethal, was much reduced. He had asked the soldiers to reduce the length of their fuses by three seconds, and the grenades did not explode after landing as the brute had imagined, but exploded in the air more than a meter above their heads.

Due to the relatively thin iron shell of this kind of prefabricated fragmentation, even the black explosive charge that was more powerful than the old time and space still succeeded in tearing the iron shell to pieces, and the hot shrapnel flew out in all directions, sticking to the brute's head like hail, sweeping all life within six or seven meters of the center of the explosion. The power of the grenade explosion in the air was far greater than the effect of the first landing explosion, and the barbarians experienced the horror of their lives being harvested by others for the first time at this time, and the barbarians who were killed fell to the ground in all directions, and the dead people rolled around on the pile of corpses with their wounds crying and shouting, blood gushing out from their wounds, splashing the people nearby. The few uninjured brute soldiers who were unlucky at this time opened their mouths one by one as if they were crazy, and fled backwards with their cloaks, and when they encountered the people in front of them, they either brandished the knives in their hands and slashed indiscriminately, or they opened their teeth and claws to tear and bite, and the tribal leader in charge of the western command couldn't help but shake his head, he knew that it was impossible to take this city gate without enough means to defend against these terrible weapons.

"Here comes the leader." The herald beside him leaned over and whispered. The tribal leader quickly turned his head to see that Bogdan was riding a white horse surrounded by a group of well-dressed guards.

"Target found, azimuth 263, 1,100 meters away." Zhao Yong suddenly shouted loudly. Yang Muqin leaned over and glanced at the display of the SLR camera. Sure enough, at the end of the attack array in the distance, a group of brutes were advancing around a guy on a white horse.

"Isn't that target number one?" He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had seen this person when he caught two Maideno staff officers that night, although the distance was too far, and it was difficult for the SLR lens to capture the appearance of the target, but according to the body shape and the barbarian soldiers around him, they were all dressed in armor, even if they were not the leaders of the Southern Barbarians, their status was not much lower. Thinking of this, Yang Muqin hurriedly took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and shouted inside, "Target, azimuth 263, 1,100 meters away from the city wall, ready to gather fire and shoot!" ”

He can't help it, the SKS rifle uses intermediate-power bullets, although it claims to be able to shoot targets within 800 meters, but it must also be fired in order to strike at cluster targets, otherwise it will have the same effect as hitting the moon - it will definitely not hit. The veteran sniper team on the west wall is basically using the SKS rifle, and the only M24 sniper rifle is also carried by the north latitude to the north side of the city wall to support, originally thinking that this side is the enemy's main attack, and it is estimated that the exchange distance is about 500 meters, who knows that the No. 1 target will be suddenly found?

Soon there were replies from several other firing positions on the walkie-talkie, "See, see, how to fight?" ”

"I'll go, why doesn't he draw a circle on his body and say hit here?"

"It's 1,100 meters, you can't hit it!"

Yang Muqin couldn't help but look down at the ruler of the rifle depressedly, the maximum value was only a thousand meters, not to mention that he was used to using the scope and he didn't have the consciousness to shoot with the ruler at all, not to mention that the patriarchs were generally short-sighted, and without the help of the scope, he couldn't even see the target with the naked eye, let alone hit a target a thousand meters away. What's more, SKS uses a 7.62x39 mm Warsaw Pact bullet with intermediate power, and this kind of steel-tipped lead heart bullet is nothing more than a power within 500 meters, and even if it is more than enough at 600 meters, it is not enough.

Bogdan didn't know that he had been swept by the sight of death three or four times, although from time to time there would be a feeling like a thorn, but it was fleeting, and he felt relieved in the back, at least the strange bird hadn't been here since dawn today, except for the strange bird himself, there was really nothing to be afraid of. Seeing that the tribal leader had brought a few of his relatives to greet him, he couldn't help but quickly flip off his horse, picked up the leader who saluted him, and asked eagerly, "How is the attack?" ”

"Returning to the leader, the situation is not good, the troops in front are scattering." The leader pointed to the chaotic array of attacks in the distance.

Bogdan couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look east, although the barbarians seemed to be numerous, but due to the influence of roads and obstacles, their attack line could not be opened, and at most one time it could be spread out to a horizontal length of more than a thousand meters wide, and at most on this length was to march five hundred-man teams at the same time. He could clearly see that the two teams of archers who were going to provide long-range projectile weapon support for the siege had broken up and were fleeing in a hurry, and one pikeman and two short knife teams had also been scattered, either turning in place or running backwards. The echelons had been wiped out long ago, at least he hadn't seen anyone walking forward with ladders until now. The breaker used to hit the city gate was also lying in the middle of the attack road at this time, and there were some corpses lying on the side of it, and there was not even a person next to the breaker, obviously everyone knew that approaching the breaker was a dead end, so when you encountered the breaker, you would rather walk around than approach.

"What are these people doing?" Bogdan couldn't help but be furious, "This team of archers is scattered, the city-breaking hammer is broken again, and there is no ladder, what are they going to do?" If you go under the city wall and can't go up, will you be sent to death? ”

The tribal leader couldn't help but frown and said: "Lord Hui, Leader, our centurion died during the attack, and now even the heralds can't get by, as long as they are sent out, they will not come back......"

Bogdan waved his hand angrily to stop the leader's defense, and said angrily, "Recall the attacking troops, our soldiers are very precious, we can't send them to be killed like this, let's wait for there to be movement in the city." Although he was extremely unwilling at this time, he had no choice at all, and the opponent's defense was simply leaky. The enemy seized the key point that his army was about to be chaotic when it left the command of the officer, and shot the officers of the Nanban with extreme precision, and shot a large number of heralds to block the connection between the command headquarters and the attacking troops, so that the morale would drop to zero in a short time, and at the same time, a large number of phalanxes carrying siege weapons were killed and injured with extremely strong projectile weapons, resulting in these soldiers having no way to attack the city even if they arrived under the city, which was really vicious!

As he was watching, suddenly another round of explosions roared over the heads of several phalanxes in front of him, and Bogdan suddenly saw blood splattered, and the stumps and broken arms of his body flew in the air, and he could even clearly see a head flying out more than ten feet horizontally, hitting a brute who was covering his ears and spinning around.

There was no need to send any heralds to summon the attacking army, and the barbarians in front rushed towards the west like a tidal wave that had burst the embankment. Bogdan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, so he hurriedly rushed to the side of the horse and turned over with the help of his personal entourage and ran south, the rout must not be blocked from the front, even if the front few were blocked, they would be trampled to death by the rout surging from behind. When the time comes, not to mention the soldiers who maintain order, even he, the leader, will be able to step on it, in previous years in the battle with the Annan army, the cattle and horses and soldiers trampled to death by the Annan rout soldiers did not stretch for several miles, and the heads of several Annan generals who were trampled to death were like paste, and the relatives who were captured could not be recognized.

"The enemy is scattered!" Yang Muqin looked at the crowd of people in the distance with a little excitement, he was quite nervous at first, to say that he didn't believe that this mere hundred or so marines plus a few hundred people could block the attack of at least three thousand barbarians, but the facts in front of him were louder than words, and the barbarians who fled proved to him with practical actions that he was too worried.

At this moment, Zhao Yong suddenly turned the camera to the city, and shouted loudly: "There is a fire in the city!" ”

The people on the city wall turned to look at the city in shock, and sure enough, in several places in the city, black pillars of smoke had begun to rise at some point, and high flames could be seen churning upward, looking like a snake eating its own tail.
