Chapter 251: The two armies face each other, and the giant elephant charges

The roaring gunfire continues. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Within two miles of the city's defense, bullets rained down, and thousands of lines of fire erupted from the barrels of two hundred Gatlings, overwhelmingly bombarding the enemy outside the city.

Eight thousand silver lion armor soldiers rushed to the city, and the blood of the slain was like a river, and the corpses were strewn all over the field.

Two hundred Gatling six-barreled heavy machine guns, two million rounds of ammunition, in just a few minutes, more than half of which were consumed.

Originally, with the terrifying rate of fire of the Gatling M134, they were absolutely able to spray all two million bullets in two minutes.

But in order to reduce unnecessary waste, many times, Nie Zheng did not let this group of natives blindly open fire, and only when the number of enemy clusters was large, all the machine gun crews would bombard wildly.

Like those scattered and fleeing enemies, there are occasionally a few Gatling intermittent aiming points to shoot a few times.

Despite this, these two hundred Gatling heavy machine guns still fired more than one million rounds of ammunition in a matter of minutes, and the remaining ammunition was less than 800,000 rounds.

At this rate of attrition, the remaining ammunition will not last a few minutes.

If the enemy is stunned by Gatling's heavy firepower, it would be fine, if the enemy still charges up in a frenzied cluster like just now, the remaining ammunition will be bombarded by these two hundred crazy Gatling money burners within three minutes at most.

Two million rounds of ammunition, a full 40 million yuan, just a few rounds of casual strafing, all gone.

No wonder people often say that war is a crazy money-burning machine, and the fight is all about consumption and money.

Although Nie Zheng was very distressed about the consumption just now, the results were still very amazing.

Eight thousand fierce silver lion armor soldiers, none of them were able to smoothly enter within 100 meters of the city defense, basically, all of them were at a distance of about three or four hundred meters, and they were wiped out by the two hundred Gatling intertwined firepower nets on the head of the city.

It only took five minutes before and after, but most of the eight thousand Silver Lion Armorers were instantly damaged.

Suffering such a huge blow, the remaining silver lion armor soldiers, where did they dare to continue to charge, and they all retreated back with pale faces under the orders of their respective generals.

As soon as the silver lion armor who charged in front retreated, all of a sudden, the hundreds of thousands of troops following behind stopped advancing one after another, and retreated like a tide on the wilderness.

The sudden strafing just now completely shocked these Dayue people!

All the Da Yue soldiers and horses looked at the Gatling heavy machine gun on the city defense in the distance with a frightened expression, and for a while, no one dared to take a step forward.

At this moment, among the hundreds of thousands of troops, Sang Kang was sitting on a war horse, his face distorted, and his face was iron-blue.

How so?

The gold devouring worm that was just released obviously destroyed all the enemy's weapons, why did they still have such a terrible weapon until now?

Eight thousand silver lion armorers, all with snake god armor, have a strong strength of more than six grades, but under the attack of those firearms, they are so fragile and vulnerable.

What is the origin of these dragon and tiger thieves?

Why are their firearms so powerful and seemingly endless?

Thinking of this, Sang Kang's cruel eyes shot out two cold rays of light, and his mood was extremely angry.

Suddenly, he burst into a loud shout, "Where is the Heavenly Snake Sacrifice?" ”

Hearing Sang Kang's roar, the old man in red robe who had been following behind him, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down and ran to Sang Kang's horse, his thin body trembled continuously, and his voice was hoarse...... King! ”

Sang Kang glanced at him coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Tell this king, why is this happening?"

The hands of the red-robed old man lying horizontally on his chest were constantly trembling, and his face was even more pale to the extreme, only to see him swallow his saliva hard, and said with a short breath: "The gold-devouring insects we released just now, although they were finally wiped out by the thieves' fire, but more than a quarter of an hour before was enough for them to destroy all the armor and firearms on the enemy's city defenses, according to common sense, those thieves should have lost their weapons long ago, and it is impossible for them to fight back at all......"

Before he finished speaking, Sang Kang stared at him fiercely, his eyes were cold and almost wanted to kill, "Since there is no power to resist, why did the eight thousand armor soldiers of this king lose most of them in an instant?" ”

"This ......"

The red-robed old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said timidly: "I don't know why this is happening, and I ...... Maybe in the hands of those thieves, there are still some firearms such as non-gold and iron, and the gold devouring insects can't destroy them at all. ”

Hearing this, Sang Kang slowly closed his eyes, trying to calm down his angry emotions. After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes again and said slowly: "Immediately feed the giant elephant to take the snake god ointment, and send the giant elephant cavalry to charge and break the city!" ”

Seeing that Sang Kang finally calmed his anger, suddenly, the old man in the red robe looked relieved, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, king!" ”

Not long after the red-robed old man left, the white-clothed scholar rode to Sang Kang again. "King, it seems that those dragon and tiger thieves are really weird, and some of them are beyond our expectations."

Sang Kang didn't look back, looked at the city tower in the distance expressionlessly, and said lightly: "The thieves' firearms are too fierce, and the eight thousand silver lion armor soldiers can't even rush into the city defense for a hundred steps, so it can be seen that the firearms deployed by the thieves on the city head are not trivial." ”

The white-clothed scholar pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "King, last time we grabbed a few firearms and went back to observe, I wonder if the king still remembers?" ”

Sang Kang nodded and said, "Of course I remember, the firearms of these dragon and tiger thieves have strange shapes, and the steel used for casting is rare in the world, I really don't know how they got it." ”

The white-clothed scholar waved his hand and said, "King, what Weichen wants to say is not this. ”

Hearing this, Sang Kang raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, then what do you want to say?" ”

The white-clothed scholar thought for a while and said: "According to the last time Wei Chen infiltrated Yangzhou City, after many investigations, he found a secret, although the firearms of these dragon and tiger thieves are huge, but all those firearms must use something called "ammunition", if there is no ammunition, those firearms will be reduced to a pile of scrap metal. ”

As soon as these words came out, Sang Kang's expression moved, and he said: "Could it be that you mean that the thieves' firearms are fierce, but they need to consume a lot of ammunition, and if the ammunition is exhausted, they will be completely helpless?" ”

The white-clothed scholar smiled: "The king is wise, and he guessed the key to it. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, pointed to the city defense in the distance, and continued: "If Wei Chen is not mistaken, although the firearms deployed by those thieves on the city defense are powerful, but the consumption is extremely huge, although they relied on those firearms to repel our eight thousand silver lion armor, but as long as we continue to advance in a defensive formation, and then use the crossbow and arrow array to assist the attack, we will definitely break through the city defense of the thieves."

You know, their firearms can't be endless, and as long as they run out of ammunition, they will be completely reduced to lambs to the slaughter. We must now seize the time to attack the city, and we must capture the southern city defense before the thieves' reinforcements arrive, otherwise, in another two quarters of an hour at most, the thieves in the remaining three city defenses of Yangzhou City will definitely come to the rescue with a large number of firearms. ”

Hearing this, Sang Kang's eyes flashed, and he ordered on the spot: "Li Huairen, now you will arrange your troops and attack the city with all your might!" ”

The white-clothed scholar took a deep breath, respectfully put his fist on his chest, and nodded deeply: "Obey, king!" ”

…………

On top of the southern city defense, Nie Zheng kept a close eye on the situation outside the city.

After discovering that Sang Kang led an army of more than 100,000 and rushed to two miles away from the city defense, all of them suddenly stood still.

Thousands of crippled Silver Lion Armorers also retreated into the camp of the army with blood and wounds, and seeing this scene, Nie Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and ordered everyone to stop attacking.

Suddenly, hundreds of machine gunners stopped firing after receiving the order.

At the same time, thousands of Dragon and Tiger elites began to be nervously busy again, and the series of strafing just now, two hundred Gatling heavy machine guns, basically sprayed all the loaded bullet chains cleanly.

Now that the fighting had stopped, everyone immediately gathered around the city and hurried to reload the bullet chains.

Sang Kang's army suddenly stopped advancing, and Nie Zheng knew very well in his heart that the enemy would never give up like this, and they must be making arrangements for the siege.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately reminded Shi Zheng and the others, asking them to be vigilant and do a good job of defense.

Sang Kang's army attacking the city is nothing more than a rain of bows, crossbows, arrows and charges to cover, so as long as everyone is equipped with all kinds of thick wooden shields on the city, hiding and covering their figures, they will be safe and sound.

Besides, the three thousand dragon and tiger spirits left on the city defense, many of them are dragon blood masters, and having them to protect against the rain of arrows should be able to reduce the damage of their own camp.

All of a sudden, the camps of both sides were busy deploying and preparing for war.

Taking advantage of this gap, Nie Zheng took out the military binoculars again and looked out of the city, and was suddenly taken aback.

I saw that behind the army of more than 100,000 people, a group of giant elephants seven or eight meters high, covered with thick scale armor, slowly advanced.

These giant elephants are so large that they are simply shocking.

In his previous life, Nie Zheng had seen a lot of elephants in the zoo, but compared to the group of giant elephants outside the city, the elephants in the zoo were simply a group of cubs.

Hundreds of huge elephants, like movable hills, stepped out in unison with heavy steps, slowly advancing in the direction of the city defense.

After the giant elephant appeared, the formation of hundreds of thousands of troops lined up in front retreated like a tide, giving way to the giant elephant cavalry in the rear, a passage up to 100 meters wide.

Although the group of giant elephant cavalry was miles away, and they did not charge at a rapid pace, the pace of the hundred giant elephants stepping on the ground as they advanced faintly made the whole wilderness tremble slightly......
