Chapter Eighty-Seven: Facing the Battle
Located on the plains, Matsumoto Post was built with high walls to defend against Kabanai invasions like most post stations, but it did not have the terrain protection similar to the Moat of the Virtuous Castle, and its actual defense was several levels lower. Matsumoto Station was originally a large city-state of Hinomoto, and there were no populated cities around it, and there were very few Kabanai who would attack this post after the outbreak of the Kabane virus.
The culprit that caused the fall of Matsumoto Station was the war of annihilation launched by Tentori Mima against Kabanai ten years ago, and the 400,000 troops were completely wiped out and turned into Kabane, and the number of free Kabanai became larger, until a fixed scale was formed and a fusion ecosystem was generated, and Matsumoto, which was only protected by a high wall, was easily defeated by the Kabanai fusion ecosystem.
The castle was parked on the railroad tracks outside Matsumoto Station, and the headlights attracted the nearby Kabanei, who was swept away by the samurai and prepared for battle.
"Hurry up, the steam rope is connected to the steam trap in Iron City, and get the lead bullet clip ready!"
"What are you doing! Don't you get all the ammunition off the car? ”
"You civilians are really useless, Lord Yun hired you with a month's food payment, cheer me up, now that we have new weapons, there is nothing to fear in Kabane." Easily dealt with the nearby wandering Kabane, the samurai looked excited, and commanded the civilians with a high spirit.
The Moscow Hotel was much quieter, the reinforcement soldiers and Balalaika did not come, and almost each of the dozen or so Moscow Hotel soldiers had a heavy machine gun, equipped with tens of thousands of new rounds of ammunition made by Yun Hong. The amount of ammunition sounds like a lot, but it's actually a drop in the bucket for a battle, and the soldiers' main weapons of battle are rifles and their own spare magazines.
Yunhong can make modern bullets, so the soldiers of the Moscow Hotel no longer need to save spare bullets.
The soldiers of the Moscow Hotel carried far more than that, in addition to firearms, they also carried weapons of mass destruction for war, mortars for firing incendiary bombs. The incendiary cannonball was strengthened by Yun Hong with alchemy, and all creatures within a radius of fifty meters would be burned to ashes when they were fired.
These incendiary bombs can't be used without Yun Hong's order, it's not that they are saved, but the power of the incendiary bombs is too great, and it is much more troublesome to burn Kabane's body to ashes, and the effect is not at the same level as a complete corpse.
Standing on the top of the plain and looking out at the Matsumoto Station in the distance, Yunhong could see that the city-state surrounded by high walls was like a dim night sky, and the interior was dotted with dots of light, which looked quite beautiful, but when each star represented a heart in Kabane, the magnificent scene in front of him was somewhat chilling.
How many are there? Thousands? Million? Or is it the equivalent of 60,000 people?
The night wind was bleak, and the Sifang Chuan Calamus standing beside Yun Hong couldn't help but shrink her body, and when she also saw this scene, she hurriedly asked softly, "Lord Husband, what are you going to do next, is it to lure Kabane out?" ”
"Ah, it's too dangerous to fight in the city, there are Kabane attacks on all sides, and the advantages of our side may not be able to be used."
"But before the fall of Matsumoto Station, the population was about 60,000, and now there are at least 50,000 Kabanai in the city."
"It doesn't matter how many there are, Kabane is still a creature after all." After explaining, Yun Hong opened the Quartet and called Robert, handed her a bottle of special blood that could lure Kabane, and glanced at the Sifang Chuaniris who was commanding the samurai in the distance and whispered: "Robert, you go and lure out the Kabane group, and make a big move as much as possible." ”
"Yes." Robert took the blood vial with both hands and replied respectfully.
Yun Hong's side was ready to deploy for battle, and he used the flash light to inform Robert that he could act, and then he heard a loud bang from Matsumoto Station that pierced the silent night sky. Even the samurai were frightened, looking at each other and swallowing their saliva, and the commotion seemed to be even bigger than they had imagined.
Originally, it was thought that it was only necessary to attack the number of Kabanes at most, but this loud noise must have been heard by all the Kabanes of Matsumoto Station, so the number of Kabanes that rushed out could be thousands or tens of thousands.
"It doesn't matter, we have new weapons here, and it doesn't matter how many cabanes we have."
"That's right, don't be impatient, Lord Yun is also here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
The samurai comforted themselves one after another, and when the Sifang Chuan iris saw this, her voice raised and encouraged: "You don't have to worry, even if we can't deal with Kabane, behind us will be the Iron City. ”
As soon as the words of the Sifang Chuan calamus fell, the wall of Matsumoto Station moved, like stars overflowing from the container of Matsumoto Station, and more and more Kabane climbed over the wall and the tide rushed towards Yunhong and them.
"All ready!" The calamus of the four directions ordered loudly, and all the samurai held their steam guns and aimed at the Kabane wave that was about to be submerged in the distance, and chose to come to Matsumoto Station at night because of the problem of Kabane's heart glowing, they were live targets at night, and if they couldn't see the specific scale of thousands of Kabanei rushing over, the fear level of ordinary people would not be so great. Skirmishes are indeed better during the day, because the night will hinder the judgment of the firing distance, and it is certainly impossible for an unskilled soldier to hit the target with a firearm at night, which is not applicable to large-scale battles, and more than fifty machine gunners shoot together, without considering the problem of hit rate at all.
In order to attract Kabane to this side accurately, Yun Hong raised his hand and released a flare into the sky, and in an instant, the surroundings of the Iron City were bright, which frightened the warriors.
Everyone was nervous as they watched as a large number of Kabanes rushed towards them. This is an unprotected plain, and even a thousand samurai with steam penetrations may not be able to stop this attack.
It's close!
Samurai and civilians alike could hear the roar of the breeze, their eyes fixed on the dangling, glowing hearts. The hearts of all the samurai rose to their throats, and some of them, unable to contain their fear, asked the Shikata Kawa iris to shoot.
Sifang Chuan Calamus bit her lip and shook her head: "It's not the time yet, we are now at least two hundred meters away from Kabane, even if the [Continuous Cylinder] is at such a distance, the power and accuracy will drop a lot." ”
The experienced samurai squeezed the [Repeating Cylinder] in his hand and aimed it at the rushing Kabane army, and said anxiously with a cold sweat on his forehead: "Although this is the case, the number of Kabane who rushed over is inevitably too many!" We may not be able to defend it, and even if we want to retreat to the Iron City at that time, it will be too late! ”
Yun Hong was also thinking about it with his hands crossed, looking at the gap in the high wall and climbing out of the gap, there was no sign of abatement, and there were probably thousands of them rushing towards them.
"Robert, how many meters is the distance from here to the high wall over there?"
Even though the English maid had just completed a task that seemed extremely difficult to ordinary people, the white lace skirt was still spotless, and she looked at the high wall of Matsumoto Post calmly and reported: "Master, it is about 790 meters from here, and the wind speed is about 2m/s. Before Yun Hong could say what he was going to do, Robert knew that Yun Hong was going to order the soldiers to use mortars.
Yun Hong told this data to the soldiers in the Moscow Hotel, and they directly adjusted the mortar projection parameters, placing a cannonball that Yun Hong had strengthened with alchemy into the barrel.
