Chapter 1855: Guerrilla Warfare on the Western Front (II.)

On the banks of the Turbidity River, it snowed heavily all night, and finally cleared up at dawn. In winter, when the sun was rare and warm, the engineer regiment under the First Punishment Brigade went out en masse to seize the time to cut down pine wood and build a pontoon bridge across the river while the weather was fine. The smoothest section of the turbidity river, some sections of the river have ice floes, but unfortunately the ice is too thin to bear the weight of the passage, the pontoon bridge built of pine can be used by infantry and cavalry carrying light weapons, but can not carry heavy weapons such as cannons, can only wait for the Imperial Air Force to send large transport airships, hoisting cannons across the river, back and forth do not know how long to toss.

The Imperial Engineer Corps was busy from early morning to dusk, and seeing that the pontoon bridge was about to be completed, there was a sudden crisp and dense gunfire like fried beans on the opposite side of the riverbank, and the sappers who lacked heavy armor protection were shot and fell down one by one, and blood stained the pontoon bridge on the river.

Gunfire came from halfway up the hill across the riverbank, about 800 yards from the pontoon, and in the depths of the snow-covered pine forest, a total of fifty-four Far Eastern partisans were hidden. Led by Lena, Nikolai, Peter, and Pavra, the guerrillas who followed them included both the backbone of the northern militia from Vale Village and Lena's old subordinates, who had ganged with her when she was younger, and who were now known for their marksmanship in Cold Creek.

Of the fifty-four ambushers, only two did not have a "wind gun" in their hands. Nikolai was limited by one arm, it was too troublesome to use a rifle with one hand, and the throwing knives and pistols he was good at had too short a range, so he did not shoot and focused on commanding the militia. Lena is an arcane spellcaster and is not good at using firearms, so she didn't snipe at the Imperial soldiers herself, and held a telescope to look at the scene across the riverbank. Seeing the Imperial officers and soldiers burst out of blood at the moment when the gunshots rang out, and fell one after another with a face full of shock and fear, the corners of Lena's lips rose slightly.

After a short observation, Lena found that the group of northerners around her were all accurate in marksmanship, which was better than the local militia she brought, which showed that Nikolai did not brag, and the militia that followed him westward this time were all sharpshooters. What surprised Lena the most was that the most accurate marksman among all was actually the young priest named Peter!

The words "priest" and "rifle" seem incompatible when they are put together, but Peter plays his "wind spear" with great charm.

Most of the guns are locked on the Imperial Sappers, and they usually don't try to snipe at targets dressed as knights. Imperial sappers wear simple leather armor, which is not difficult to penetrate, and the Imperial knights also wear a scale armor under the majestic haze - that is, layers of hard steel are inlaid on the surface of the leather armor, with the power of air rifle bullets, it is difficult to penetrate the scale armor from 800 yards away, plus most of the Imperial knights have extraordinary professions, and their physique is far stronger than ordinary people, even if there are occasionally one or two rifle bullets lucky to penetrate the scale armor, it is also the end of the crossbow, and it is difficult to cause effective damage to the Imperial knights.

Peter was different, specifically picking those vigorous imperial knights as the target of sniping, every time he pulled the trigger, accompanied by a short and powerful air pressure whistling sound to shoot a string of bullets, there was a knight on the other side of the river blood splashed on the spot, one fell from the back of the mount, tumbled down the embankment, fell into the river, splashed with bloody waves, the heavy scale armor that was originally relied on to protect the body, after falling into the water, it became a "life talisman". Those Imperial knights who were shot, even if they were not wounded to death, would fall to the bottom of the river by their heavy armor and equipment. In this season of wind and snow, no matter how strong the imperial knight's body is, it can't stop the biting cold of the river, and even the cold and drown, and the body sank to the bottom of the river in a moment.

Lena put down her binoculars and looked back at Peter in surprise, and sure enough, she noticed that the little priest's eyes were shining with magical light, and the rifle in his hand was also emitting strong magical fluctuations.

"Peter, your marksmanship is very good, even a heavily armed Imperial knight can knock it down, is it using some kind of magic that enhances archery?"

"It's worthy of Sister Lena, who can see through my little trick at a glance." Peter paused to shoot, hugged the rifle and replied with a grin: "Actually, my marksmanship is very ordinary, and the reason why it seems to be very accurate is because I blessed myself with the 'Knowledge Domain' 3-ring magic 'Eagle Eye Technique' in advance before shooting, with the help of this spell, I can see farther than others, and it is easier to aim at targets on the other side of the river." ”

"It's true that the 'Eagle Eye' can greatly improve the accuracy of shooting, but that doesn't explain why the bullets you shoot are so powerful that they can pierce through the scale armor worn by Imperial knights, could it be that your rifle is actually an enchanted weapon?"

Lena looked curiously at the "Wind Spear" in Peter's hand, with the help of the 0-ring arcane "detection magic", she could clearly see the magic fluctuations emitted by the rifle, but for a while she could not determine what kind of spell was attached.

"Sister Big Breasts, you underestimated how obscene this guy is Peter." Bavra turned around and interjected with a smile, "Isn't that rifle just an enchanted weapon?" It's just a staff disguised as a rifle! ”

"Rifles...... Can you still make a staff? Lena was a little dizzy, never thinking that the two seemingly unrelated weapons, the rifle and the staff, could be combined into one.

"Nothing strange about that, right?" Peter shrugged, "The materials used to make the staff are usually steel or wood, and the rifle is also made of these two materials, the construction of the staff does not affect its function, I refine my air rifle into a staff, there is no technical barrier." ”

"That's what I said, but ...... What good is it to turn a rifle into a staff? Lena asked incomprehensibly.

"That's a lot of benefits!" Peter smiled a little slyly, "My 'Marksmanship' can unleash a total of 6 divine arts, 1 ring of 'Demonic Weapon', 2 rings of 'Silence' and 'Sonic Explosion', 3 rings of 'Daylight', 'Scorching Radiance' and Wind Wall. ”

"Let's talk about 'demonic weapons' first, just now you asked me why the bullets fired by this gun can pierce through the knight's scale armor, and the mystery is here. I blessed the rifle with a 'demonized weapon' before the battle began, making it temporarily evolve into an enchanted rifle that fires more powerful bullets than regular rifle bullets. ”

"There is another use of 'demonized weapon', that is, when the enemy is approaching, we have to equip the rifle with a bayonet to engage in melee combat with the enemy, at this time, with a 'demonized weapon', the bayonet mounted on the rifle will become an enchanted blade, which greatly increases the power of melee combat.
