When Han Xing and others entered Amsei's Scorpion King Pyramid to explore, the 15,000 French troops led by Napoleon began to prepare for defense in full swing.

As mentioned earlier, Amshei was a large basin, and the only access to it was a canyon that stretched for miles and was flanked by cliffs, on which Napoleon's French army was at this time.

As a qualified military strategist, the first task is to learn to build one's own defensive positions with the advantage of the terrain. Napoleon saw the value of the cliffs at a glance, and he had 15,000 French troops line up against the cliffs on the left side of the gorge, using the cliffs to protect the rear of his troops.

Then 200 of the 500 guns were drawn and transported to the opposite cliff by Marmont in a detour, which not only protected the safety of the artillery, but also provided good visibility and prevented accidental damage, and these guns could provide fire support for their positions on the other side of the cliff.

The French army with their backs to the cliff began to dig trenches to build positions, the outermost part is two trenches 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep, thanks to the fact that this is a desert area, the soil is soft, and it is effortless to dig trenches, coupled with the large number of French troops, even if the sappers are not enough to shovel, it is a big deal to use their hands, hats, and clothes pockets, and everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, and the progress of the project is very fast.

The two trenches are separated by 10 meters, within the range of the two trenches, at a distance of 50 meters. There are also two trenches, which are located relatively close together. The trench is only 1.5 meters deep and only 1 meter wide, and the main role of the trench is to provide cover for the infantry.

There are many shallow pits scattered in the middle of the two trenches, and if you were to ask a modern military expert to comment on them, he would be surprised and say: "Isn't this a foxhole?" "Yes, these are foxholes, but there are some differences from the real foxholes, so that shallow pits can be used for the foxhoppers to lie down in them, and as we all know, the action of lying down will greatly improve the accuracy of the shots. Most of such pits can provide cover for 1 to 3 people.

In this era, the concept of skirmishers, or chasseurs, light infantry, has emerged, and these soldiers are the elite (shè) hands of the army, armed with high-precision rifles, and are usually responsible for killing and wounding the enemy on the flanks or even behind when fighting. As mentioned in the previous article about the charm of the era of gun platoons, it is not that people in this era do not know how to find a cover pair (shè), but not based on the accuracy of the firearm, if both sides find a cover pair (shè), it is not possible to finish the bullet, and there are still zero casualties on both sides.

What's more, in this era, the skirmishers also have a nemesis - cavalry, in order to avoid (shè) shots, most of the stragglers are loosely formed, and the equipment they carry is mainly lightweight, and most of the high-precision shotguns have a longer loading time than ordinary smoothbore guns (mainly the barrel is long, and it is difficult to load and clean up). Most of the selected skirmishers are slender and thin people, and they are definitely good at fighting, but if they have to fight with bayonets and fights, they will not be able to catch them! This archer-like definition made the skirmishers appear vulnerable to cavalry.

However, in this battle against the Scorpion King's army, Napoleon did not need to follow the rules, he could build fortifications, dig bunkers, and use all foxholes and trenches. These fortifications have been around for a long time, dating back to the medieval days when they were used against cavalry (similar to horses, sharpened stakes are stuck in the ground), but the fast-paced combat of the Cold Weapon Age made them largely useless.

Just as the French army had just finished arranging their positions, the sky that had been shining with the sun suddenly sank, and I saw billowing black mist spewed out from the pyramid of the Scorpion King in the center of Amsey, turning into an overwhelming scorpion-shaped (yīn) shadow, which instantly occupied the sky and covered the land in front of the French army on the right.

The sand covered by black shadows presents an eerie dimness, at this time, it is clear that the sun is shining, but in the area covered by the shadows, it seems that an invisible black hole has appeared, absorbing all the sunlight, and the ground is (yīn) sinking black, as if dyed with a layer of (yīn) haze that cannot be dissolved.

"Oh my God! You see, what is that? A sharp-eyed mustachioed French hunter held his hunting gun at his feet, looked at the black (shēn) shadows raised in the distant (yīn) shadows, and closed his mouth in surprise.

"Oh my God, it's a shēn monster!" In full view of the French army, an army of shēn monstrous men emerged from the sand, armed with bronze weapons in their hands, and watched the French army with fierce eyes.

"Don't be afraid, soldiers! Those are just stupid dolls made of sand, you are the pride of France! We have defeated the army of the invincible Austrian Emperor together, and we have faced the legendary invincible Mamluks together; Soldiers, we have been through so much together, we have seen enemies that are more terrible and advanced than the enemy in front of us, so why should we be afraid of these moving sculptures made of sand and soil in front of us? They're just a little ugly! Napoleon realized that he (shēn) was the commander-in-chief and had to cheer up his men, so he began his speech.

"We have muskets and cannons, what do they have? Bronze weapons? What is that? Scrap copper and rotten iron! We've seen the power of gunpowder, but they're still using cold weapons! Soldiers, times have changed, and they are nothing more than tall barbarians! Have you heard? The Spaniards conquered the barbarians of the American continent with only a few hundred men, and we have 15,000 men, and if we have so many of them, and we can't defeat these natives wielding bronze weapons in front of us, then will we not be laughed at by the Spaniards? Napoleon instigated his horse, pointed at Anubis's army, and said contemptuously to the French soldiers.

By this time, Anubis's army was already roaring towards the French.

"Today, it is our rì son, it is the rì son that belongs to France, and we will create brilliance and write epics here! We're going to be dealing with mythical creatures, but what? They will only be our stepping stone to prove to the world that we are the masters of the future! Even Caesar and Alexander should be impressed with us, because what we are about to accomplish is something that surpasses our ancestors! Fire! ”

Napoleon brandished his horsewhip and cheered up the soldiers with a sonorous tone, and when the French soldiers saw Napoleon, there was a kind of fiery and madness in their eyes, Napoleon's words were like a light in the darkness, a bonfire in the cold wind, bringing them light, pointing out the direction, and driving away the cold.

"Yes! Their terrifying looks aside, they are nothing more than a bunch of barbarians with bronze! Why should we fear them? The Spaniards defeated tens of thousands of Native Americans with just a few thousand people! What about growing taller? The target is big, but it is inconvenient to dodge bullets! What about developed muscles (ròu)? Can a muscle (ròu) be as hard as a bullet? The French soldiers no longer looked at the Anubis army with fear and twinkle in their eyes, but with more contempt and mockery.

With Napoleon's order, the metal behemoth in the rear had already begun to roar, sparks erupted from the cannon mouth of the black hole, and heavy solid cannonballs came out of their disembowels, drawing a ticket in the sky, and then fell into the array of the Reaper's army. Yes, Anubis's army would only die if they were hit in the head, but when they were hit by artillery, their bodies and limbs were knocked back to their prototypes, and they were once again scattered in loose sand, and it took a little time to recover.

The Grim Reaper's army formed a black torrent, but the artillery in the French position and the solid bullets spewed out from the artillery on the opposite side of the cliff swept through the ranks of the wolf-headed soldiers like water, and the tall wolf-headed soldiers became the obvious target, and the entire formation of the Grim Reaper's army was loosened and scattered by the successive shelling like meteorites.

At this time, the French soldiers were crouching in the trenches, or simply lying on the sand, in foxholes, and solid bullets whistling over their heads, and it was certain that this feeling was not good, and the scalp was numb. But there is no doubt that these shells will never hurt their own people, and the accuracy of straight (shè) cannons is indeed not flattering, but they will definitely not bend!

When the Reaper's army approached the outermost trench, their tall (shēn) materials finally came into play, and they only needed to jump through the first trench (shēn) vertically, but this leap still caused their speed to stagnate, and Napoleon's goal had been achieved!

The 300 guns in the French formation had already been reloaded with shotguns, and after a muffled thunderous roar, the "iron grapes" with residual warmth were scattered like raindrops on the heads of the Grim Reaper's army. Patches of wolf-headed soldiers fell, some of them could be resurrected in a few seconds, while others were hit by the "iron grapes" and turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

At this time, the tens of thousands of jackal-headed soldiers of the Grim Reaper's army were already a third of the dead-headed soldiers, and when they crossed the second trench, the French infantry and skirmishers began to hit (shè), and a dense rain of bullets hit the wolf-headed soldiers (shēn), but unfortunately, the accuracy of the smoothbore gun was very limited, and it would be good to hit (xiōng) in the mouth, so it would be good to hit the head? That's a stroke of luck! However, because of the high density, after each round (shè), hundreds of wolf-headed soldiers turned into sand and scattered in place.

"Hit them in the head, their head is a weakness!" By observing, the sharp-eyed hunters had noticed this, and they shouted loudly to their companions.

Due to the dense barrage of infantry, the speed of the Reaper's army was slowed down, and at this time, the artillery in the rear had also been loaded! The wolf-headed soldiers were already less than 20 meters away from the first line of French trenches, and at this distance, the shotgun was a real killer!

The French soldiers bowed their heads in unison, or hid in the trenches, and at this moment, the rear artillery was loaded and fired! If the round of shotguns just now was like a gentle drizzle, then this round of shotguns is like a storm!

After this round of shelling, the Reaper's army is less than a third!

The battle continues, in the original drama of "The Mummy 2" (qíng), Adebay led the cold weapon cavalry of the Tomb Guard, and also defeated the first formation of the Reaper's army, and the French army, equipped with muskets and cannons, slaughtered the Reaper's army is not easy? If there were hundreds of machine guns, the army of the Grim Reaper would not even be able to touch the hair of the French army!

The French army paid a lot of casualties in the melee battle, these big and tall shēn people wielded sharp bronze weapons, and the French army could only rely on unity and mutual assistance to fight them, and after paying nearly 2,000 casualties, the French army completely sent these more than 3,000 jackal-headed soldiers back to the underworld.

Just as the French soldiers were cheering, they were shocked to find that more jackal-headed soldiers appeared at the end of the skyline and swept towards them!

This is the terrible thing about the army of death—endless!
