Chapter Eighty-Two: The Dirt Plane
"Clean up the battlefield!" Hua Zewei angrily lit a Chinese stick. "Each company reports losses!"
"No losses in a row!"
"No loss in the second row!"
Hua Zewei took a deep puff of his cigarette, and the flames quickly devoured the cigarette paper and tobacco leaves. "It's not fun yet, you have to fight with a bayonet!" The infantry in front of him was turning the corpses of the already bloodied light infantry with bayonets. "There is no need to chase the fleeing enemy, the key is to defend the villages and towns! Each company and platoon will count the results and report them later! ”
Both attacking units ran a dozen deserters. They saw that the momentum was not right and immediately turned around and ran, the commander had no time to care, and the Forces nouvelles did not want to pursue deeply. Let them run back to the base camp to be a messenger of obligation.
At the same time, the forces of Erasia and Mackiri were still advancing along the dirt road towards the high ground. The hillside of the stronghold on the back of the village and town was gentle, and 2,000 men only needed to assemble and launch an attack to solve the problem. If Arasia had known that he would only face a garrison of one hundred and fifty men, he would have laughed speechlessly.
"The slope on this side is gentle, and there is only one route to attack." The commander of the third company in the small bungalow in the distance couldn't help but sneer as he watched the marching team step into the detonation zone solemnly with a shield and a spear and sword in hand. "The nightmare of mine warfare, let you see it." He got up from the board and pulled the trigger of the flare gun.
In the bushes far away from the dirt road, several soldiers quickly pressed the button of the pulse detonator three times. The anti-infantry directional mines buried in the weeds on the side of the road in the front team immediately received a fatal point pulse. A thunder shell with the words "This is facing the enemy" written in white was accompanied by 800 steel balls. The steel armor of the hoplites who approached the directional mines was no different from paper before the rain of steel balls, and quickly cracked. The ball then pierced into the skin and muscles, rampage through the internal organs, and unjustifiably carried blood vessels and bone fragments out of the body. The soldier near the bombing point was pushed to the ground by the rain of steel on the spot, and the blood fixed the dust that he had fallen and stirred.
A gadget weighing only a kilogram in the weeds detonated in front of them, and in an instant the infantry group of the front team was engulfed in a rain of steel. The screams were only a small head, and the steel ball fragments turned on silent mode alive - everyone who could scream was already dead.
"No......" Erasia witnessed the tragic situation of the previous team in the middle of the team. McGerie is also in the front team, and it seems that he will not survive at this time. There was no one left in the front team standing or kneeling. "The enemy magician! Retreat! Fall back! The back team turns to the front team, run quickly! He anxiously poked his sword at the floor. If you can't run away, you have to send your life here.
Without waiting for the commander's order, Erasya's rear had already begun to flee. These people are destined to have a big fate, they don't have to be destroyed, they just need to keep a small life to pass the word. In order to flee for their lives, they had already thrown even the heavy main hand weapons on the ground.
"Don't panic! Don't panic! The whole team! Erasya shouted hoarsely through the ranks. Hold your ground! Don't mess around! The enemy's spell hasn't been used a second time until now! You can go back safely without entering the range! Don't mess up and watch out for enemy charges! ”
He was secretly glad in his heart that the enemy army did not launch a cavalry charge that could confuse the infantry from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, otherwise the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers would really face annihilation. Despite their magical prowess, the enemy's tactics are so rusty. Just report this to Rucha, and even if he retreats, he will be able to protect himself.
After a brief commotion, the rear team picked up the weapons discarded by the deserters and began to run back. The team that had just been chaotic had been brought under control, at least it would not be crushed by its own people. Erasia wiped the cold sweat from her neck, so dangerous! Almost killed!
"Stop the head and cut the tail, and bloom in the middle." The commander of the third company smiled and touched the trigger of another flare gun. "Do you want to run even if you pretend to be? But it's okay, I'm going to have to get you guys in place. ”
When the mines were first laid, the company commander set the length of the enemy ranks longer than expected. So this truncation still has to make the enemy take a few steps back to blow it up.
The green flare lifted into the air with a screech. Arasya's hairs stood on end. Before he could open his mouth and shout "Run", the Demoman, who was ambushed in another bush, pressed the electric door.
Without warning, the soil beneath the feet of the soldiers of the rear team, which was now the front team, began to crack. The shallow backfill does not absorb much of the energy of the explosion at all. The earth shook violently, and then the entire road was shattered into pieces, along with the soldiers, and sent into the sky like a fury.
Volcanic eruptions...... None of them are so spectacular. The magma carrying volcanic ash into the sky was a distant sight that could not be compared to the spectacle experienced in front of you. Not only Erasya, but the company commander who was observing in the house felt the ground tremble. It's just that Erasia still has a little more dirt on his face, and a severed limb that has been blown up. The only thing he wasn't covered in ash was his dull eyes. The sunlight broke through the dust again, and the dirt road and the soldiers who had just run vigorously on the dirt road were gone, and only a large pit remained.
"Original...... Is it all a scam? Arasia fell to her knees and muttered to herself. If Erasia had paid a little attention to it, he would have noticed that there were traces of backfilling in this section of the road. But it's too late to say anything now. After the earth-shattering explosion, the soldiers of Erasia finally lost their minds, and some jumped into the pit to escape, while others tried to jump into the fields beside the road to bypass the pit and retreat.
"Rush!" This time it was not a signal flare, and the company commander picked up his eight-one bar and began to shoot into the air. With this as an order, among the haystacks, bushes, and even grasses that looked harmless to people and animals on the side of the road, warriors wearing camouflage clothes and carrying five or six half-and-a-half bayonets appeared in the grass, bushes, and even the grass. 60 forced to start firing at craters and fields, and light machine guns soon joined the strafing fire.
"Infantry......? No, magician! "Erasya looked in utter despair as the fleeing soldiers were shot and mortar fire to the ground, the enemy force looked like it was just over a hundred men, but it was all magicians!" Surrender! He quickly fell to his knees, but did not forget to shout at the stunned and fleeing soldiers. Not to mention the massive explosion magic of the enemy, who were now besieging them, could take down a hoplite with a single cast at a distance of more than a hundred paces, and the wand that spewed tongues of fire had made him unwilling to fight again.
There are also soldiers who want to escape from this hell on earth from the other side of the attack. The heavy armor and dirt slowed their advance, and Erasia saw the mage rushing towards him suddenly half-bend and take a stride, raising his wand as if aiming at him.
"No!" Arasia screamed, twisting her head back. It's hard to watch magic hit you. But at this moment, he seemed to see the way forward with the warhead crushing the air in the air. It did hit the runaway runner in his sight. He shuddered and fell straight down.
After beating a bunch of hoplites trying to flee from the field, a loud roar came from behind the soldiers.
"Cult bandits, listen up, this is the new army of Elta! Put your weapons on the ground and lie on the ground with your head and hands and feet on the ground! Otherwise, they will be punished, otherwise they will be punished! You will be destroyed by us with an even greater explosion! Lying on the ground immediately is the only way out for you......"
What a loud roar! Erasia shuddered with emotion as she turned her face to the ground. Well...... It's a bit cold. The smell of dirt on the road is much better than the dust with flesh and blood.
Like him, the remaining infantry, and even the centurion, laid down their weapons and laid them on the ground in a herringbone shape.
They didn't even dare to tilt their heads or raise their necks to listen to the cheers of the native soldiers of Elta. It turns out that these noble soldiers who ride on their heads are so vulnerable! A company of one hundred and fifty men can so easily break the attack of two thousand people! There were three or four hundred captives who lay down their arms and lay on the ground in fear of them......
"Get up, yes, it's you! If you don't get up, I'll make it impossible for you to get up for the rest of your life! A soldier shouted as he poked Erasya in the back with the butt of his rifle.
Erasya got up from the ground and immediately received new orders. "Take off your armor at once! Including your iron armor and your leather armor! ”
"Sorcerer-sama, this, I don't have any clothes to wear in this way......" Erasia hesitated.
When the soldier heard this, his face turned blue and white. He pulled out a sack from his back. "Come, take off your armor first. This is your clothes. ”
Erasya looked closely, and the dress was a sack with three eyes poked. Luckily, he still has a pair of pants underneath, otherwise it would have been really unacceptable.
"Yo, look at this leather armor, it's still a big official." The soldier looked at the leather armor lining and asked with a wicked smile. "What kind of official are you? Centurion? Thousand-torn? Vanguard generals? ”
"I'm just a thousand-......" Erasia felt a chill and her heart fell into the abyss. That's it. The likelihood that he will be held up for ransom has increased dramatically. Originally, he was expecting to mix in with ordinary soldiers and get some money to go back to China after the war, which was insulting to the name of the church, and he had no way to live at all. But he was much luckier than the corpses that were now being dragged into the craters of the explosion and burned.
A rope then divided the captives into several strings, and the company commander yelled angrily into the radio: "If you hadn't said that there was a shortage of people in the quarry, would I be in such trouble?" You're going to get out of the car and borrow these unfortunate bastards, yes, and the broken iron. I don't want any of this! It's better to pull some supplies! ”
