Chapter 43: The Metal Storm (Page 1/1)

"Get moving, get moving! Don't stay in one position, go forward!" Garriott urged the panicked cavalry behind him, while staring at the Chinese operating the small cannon in the distance, he saw that the soldier in charge of loading the barrel had once again loaded the canister, and he knew that the cannon was about to fire again.

"The captains of each squad will take their teams around the ice and regroup!" he shouted at the mid-level blackguards.

"These explosive things have already threatened us, we have to find a way to knock down the next wave, so that the teams behind have time to assemble, and if they are blown up like this, the team will disperse. Garriot said to the two deputies.

"Stop, I can try to shoot them. Miguel picked up a longbow from his saddle and mounted an arrow. And Sacheri began to work a magic. Garriot himself poked the dragon's claws into the ground and grabbed a handful of sandstones.

Another wave of shells hit. Miguel bent his bow and aimed the arrow at the cannonball flying high, he poured his fighting spirit into the arrow, and the arrow followed the trajectory of the cannonball, and when he felt that he had mastered the law of the cannonball's movement, he let go of his hand. The vindictive arrow drew a white line and flew towards the cannonball. However, it seems that he still missed a little, and seeing that the arrow was about to stagger with the cannonball, the fighting spirit outside the arrow suddenly exploded, directly detonating the two cannonballs around him. At this time, Miguel fired a second arrow, which also detonated two more shells.

On the other side, Sachery's magic was also ready, and more than twenty white energy missiles rose from his hands, and these missiles drew a trajectory in the air, like wasps that pounced on the enemy, and slammed into the cannonballs in the sky. The missile controlled by the Sacheri spirit has a lower attack range than a bow and arrow, but it is more flexible and accurate. With precise control, he made each missile attack a cannonball, and more than half of the energy missiles ended up hitting the cannonballs in the sky. A third of the shells were detonated in the air, and the rest were deflected and could no longer fall into their position.

After the attack of the two, only seven or eight shells were left that survived in the end, at this time, Gariott waved his hand, and the sand and stones in his hand flew towards the last few shells like a shotgun, and the green dragon bloodline gave him superior arm strength, and threw those stones to a height of two or three hundred meters, and the cone-shaped area covered by them enveloped four or five cannonballs, and exploded them directly in the air. Only one of the last shells ended up falling on the horse team behind Galriot, only to see him kick under his feet, soar into the air, grab the tail of the shell, throw it into the distance, this shell flew back upside down, and exploded four or five hundred meters in front of the Chinese position.

The counterattack of the three Galliots allowed the Chinese to kill only two cavalrymen in two rounds of shells, and also gave their team a chance to regroup. The previous attack had cost them more than twenty men, but the core of them had not been damaged much, and Garriot was ready to quickly rush through the distance of less than a kilometer in the last kilometer.

Although Garriot was happy with the interception, he knew that until now, they had only been passively beaten. Only by rushing to the front of the Chinese can their strength really be brought into play. He told Sacheri to continue to block the cannonballs with his missiles. The others charged with all their might. Sacheri's missile defense was effective, and although the Chinese attacked several more rounds, the actual effect was not ideal, and the cavalry still had nearly 120 men when they rushed to a distance of 500 meters.

With Gariott's vision, he could clearly see that only a few of the opposing soldiers were armed with swords, shields, and spears, and most of them were armed with a long strip of weapons. The soldiers, standing and kneeling, pointed the long strip straight at them.

As their team broke through a certain position, he heard a command, followed by a crackling sound. The Green Dragon Bloodline allows him to capture very fast and small objects. As he could see now countless tiny metal particles ejecting from the front of those tubes, slamming down on him and his men like a winter blizzard.

The tiny particles came too fast for Garriot to give any warning before they hit him and the others behind him. Even though Garriot was wearing dragon scales, he felt a tinge of pain, as if someone was poking him with a spear, and although the pain came and went quickly, the energy in it should not be underestimated. Garriot secretly said that it was worse, what effect did something that even he felt pain have on an ordinary human?

The screams behind him gave him an answer. As soon as he turned around, he saw that many warriors and war horses had burst into bloody flowers, and at least a dozen people were knocked off their horses at a glance.

Even Miguel, who was unprepared, covered his face with his hands, and a stream of blood seeped out of his fingertips.

"My lord, what should I do if this thing is too powerful?" asked Miguel.

"We have no way back except to rush through. Regardless of the casualties behind him, Gariot chose to move on.

Soon the air guns rang out again, and more soldiers and horses fell to the ground in various strange postures as if they had been stabbed by invisible swords as they galloped.

With just two rounds of rifle fire, the effect was comparable to that of the previous mortar bombardment.

Some of the cavalry in the rear began to waver, and this metal storm was completely invisible, like a ghost, and in the midst of a sharp whistling, it suddenly took the life of a man.

One of the horsemen began to turn his horse's head and try to escape. But before he could fully turn his course, a sharp arrow passed through his head, killing him on horseback. One of the Black Guards behind the palace shouted, "Those who flee will die at my hands first, and move on!"

After killing three or four fleeing soldiers, the cavalry in the rear was rushed up in a hurry.

When Galriot's team approached two hundred meters, a huge magic wave suddenly came from the Chinese formation, and a dark purple ball of light was thrown in the middle of the cavalry, exploding a circular ripple and sweeping all the cavalry.

Garriot only felt that a viscous force had attached to him, slowing his movements. However, the green dragon's bloodline has a great resistance to magic, and Garriot only unleashed the power of his bloodline, and completely removed the sense of restraint from his body.

But the horses under him were not capable of doing so. Like all the other horses, it was half as slow at once.
