Chapter 316: Fire Blockade

readx;

In the early stage of this battle, both the offensive and defensive sides used cold weapons, which are heavy weapons in the war, trebuchets and heavy crossbows, and their fighters suffered heavy casualties. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the soldiers of the third battalion were not afraid of death, and fought back fiercely against the rain of arrows.

The worries of the apes gradually became a reality, and the "ammunition" of the heavy crossbows of the machine platoon was now exhausted, and at most five more rounds could no longer form an absolute fire suppression of the third battalion.

To be honest, he didn't think that the trebuchet and heavy crossbow could do much damage to the oxen before, and the sturdiness of the walls of the third battalion in Donghai Town could only be described as perverted.

Xiong Meng and Shark Sihai retreated to the rear and began to organize infantry to charge and attack the city, starting with a huge number of Sea Clan fish-man warriors.

The ape warriors, who were second in number and had flexible arms, were in the second echelon, and the three fierce clans in the sea, as well as several races such as lions, tigers, leopards, and bears, which were few in number but had strong combat effectiveness, were ranked last.

Xiong Meng, as the commander-in-chief of the siege, waved his big sword, and the bear roared to the sky, and the tide-like warriors of all ethnic groups flocked to the city wall.

Niu Ben's complexion remained unchanged, and he calmly ordered the people to adjust the angle of the trebuchet so that as many stones and explosives as possible in the flicking pocket could fall into the enemy group.

The Jing army crouched on the battlements of the city wall, waiting for an opportunity to shoot a valuable target enemy, but there were too many coalition soldiers rushing up, and it was difficult to find a coalition commander worthy of a special 10.36 mm bullet from the sniper scope with an extremely limited field of vision.

Because the ape weapon has realized the power of the new weapons mastered by the third battalion, but has also found some passive precautions according to its principles.

That is, commanders at all levels of their own side should try not to appear in too conspicuous positions, do not wear armor clothes that contrast sharply with ordinary soldiers, and only wrap a red scarf around their waists that is enough to indicate their identity as commanders.

This proposal of the ape weapon really saved the lives of a large number of mid-level commanders, but a few generals believed that they were strong and disdained to replace the bright armor that symbolized their status and status and walked with ordinary soldiers, but these people tacitly hid far behind the battle formation.

There are sea clan generals, and there are ape clan generals, in fact, they can climb to today's status, and it is necessary to have some strength in their hands, and being good at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages is also a character trait they share.

The supreme commander Xiong Meng and Shark Sihai turned a blind eye to this situation, although the ape was the son of the former Eight Great Princes, and now the Seven Great Princes, the son of the Seven Great Princes, the king of Ape Fang, his identity is not dishonorable, but he does not have much power in his hands, so many generals are unwilling to listen to his advice, and they have no choice.

However, the ape man did not feel much about the indifference of the generals, and his only and greatest interest was the study of machinery and mechanisms, for example, now he really wanted to talk to the person who invented the "gun" and talk about his ideas.

The minotaurs in the city worked tirelessly to fire "cannonballs" from trebuchets and into the surging coalition fighters.

There were loud noises one after another, dazzling white lights flashed everywhere in front of the two armies, the sand and dust kicked up by the power of the explosion once obscured the sky and the sun, or the bodies of all the warriors of various nationalities flew over the heads of those temporary survivors from time to time, and the scene was tragic and abnormal.

The allied army's platoon crossbows still fired wooden crossbows unhurriedly, although the lethality was reduced a lot, but the soldiers of the three clans in the city were almost all focused on the infantry soldiers who were getting closer and closer to the city wall at this time, and they had no time to take care of a crossbow arrow that fell coldly in the air, but fortunately, the coverage density was not enough.

Lao Jing's heart was beating "dong", as if others could hear his heartbeat.

To be honest, this was the first time Lao Jing felt so nervous, and even for a moment he wondered if the tens of thousands of minotaurs around him would be able to defend this city?

He couldn't hold his breath at this time, and looked through the sniper scope to find the target to kill.

Niu Ben turned his head to look at Lao Jing, whose face was pale, his dark face was still unfazed, as if the coalition forces that were about to break through the city had nothing to do with him.

"Brother, today's success or failure is in this battle! Victory is good, but if you are unfortunate to lose...... , remember my brother's words, take Yanran and leave here, you shouldn't get involved in this war!"

Jing Jun's expression froze, and the anxiety and despair of Shicai disappeared without a trace in an instant, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Big brother, brother, I am also a soldier, are you asking me to abandon my military honor and become a deserter who is spurned by others?"

There was a faint electric light in his eyes, staring directly at the calm cow.

The latter's heart shook slightly, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he turned to laugh and said, "Haha...... , brother is right, it's the eldest brother who is not good, let's let Xiong Meng's coward taste the real power of our Donghai Town!"

Immediately with a smile, he ordered all the machine guns in the city to be set up, and the bullets were prepared to fire fiercely at the boundless sea of people under the city.

"Click......

The unique coherent sound of the machine gun sounded again, one that was so familiar to both sides of the battle today, but the two sides felt very differently.

The already red-eyed minotaurs held back their purple and black faces, staring at the boundless sea of people under the city and almost jumped down, but the commander-in-chief, General Niu Ben, did not give an order, so they did not dare to make a mistake for the time being, and instead focused on the kobold who acted as a machine gun shooter.

There were a few minotaurs who shook their heads with big horns, gasped for breath in their big nostrils, moved their fat bodies, grabbed the machine gun combat team closer, and shouted: "You guys are worse than girls today, get out of the way of Lao Tzu!"

As he spoke, he pulled the shooter who was concentrating on shooting, and the latter spread his hands that were tightly gripping the trigger, and his body, which was much thinner than the Minotaur, flew straight to the side.

This man is a good man, he is in mid-air, his hairy claws grasp a crossbow arrow that happened to fall, his waist twists, and his limbs fall to the ground, but he is not stable.

He raised his head violently, and all his inch-long canine teeth were exposed, and he said in his heart: "Which bastard threw Lao Tzu out!"

was about to find the culprit for a long time, and after seeing a black tower-like body standing in the position he had just had, this breath could only be swallowed in a muffled voice, but it was inevitable to complain: "Niu Lie, are you crazy? That's my gun!"

Niu Lie's eyes showed a fierce light, and he slammed the trigger at the crowded place under the city, and the six barrels of the machine gun were bright and white, and the tongue of fire "suddenly" sprayed wildly, turning a deaf ear to the kobold's rebuke.

The kobold man holding the bullet chain was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this was Niu Lie who couldn't wait to open the city to kill the enemy, and then saw that his original partner was fine, so he didn't care, anyway, whoever shot was killing the coalition enemy under the city.

Seeing that Niu Lie didn't pay attention to him, the kobold man stupidly pulled out his steel knife, pulled away another fallen crossbow arrow, and stuck it to Niu Lie's side to watch the situation under the city.

In more than ten days, the third battalion worked overtime to produce 20 machine guns, made of steel with iron and black powder, because of the urgency of the war, the Jing army did not have time to test the performance of each machine gun in detail, but judging from today's performance, these guns are no problem.

Twenty machine guns, one hundred and twenty muzzles continuously sprayed steel projectiles for half an hour, and the thickened thick barrel solved the problem of overheating in a short period of time.

Most of the charging Ape Sea Alliance soldiers were held back within a hundred to fifty meters of the city wall, an area that could only be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood at this time.

The dead bodies have completely covered the sandy ground, causing the soldiers who were shot and killed in the back to continue to pile up, and those soldiers who were forced to rush forward under the order struggled to march in the carpet of dead bodies, and the huge psychological pressure brought by the dead bodies everywhere can be imagined.

The fish-man warriors who act as cannon fodder have low intelligence, but it doesn't mean that they are not afraid of death, a considerable number of people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to slip away and leave a small life, but they didn't expect that there were commanders in their formations who specially guarded against battlefield deserters like them, carrying knives and axes to kill them.

In front of the missing deadly killer, and then there is the iron-faced selfless battlefield criminal, and the cannon fodder is trapped in a nightmare that can never wake up.

The network of machine-gun fire was not inadequate, and the vast majority of coalition soldiers were blocked within the best firing range, but there were still many soldiers who were lucky enough to break through the rain of bullets and enter areas where machine guns were inconvenient to fire.

An ugly fish-man warrior didn't stand still on top of the pile of corpses, and rolled down in embarrassment, eventually smashing his sticky gray face to the sand.

The man grunted a few times, and finally realized that he was not dead, and suddenly he was inexplicably excited, and with a dexterity several times more than the normal level before, he turned over and jumped up, his webbed hands quickly wiped away the fine grains of sand stuck to his face, and turned to look at his companions who were still in hell, and opened his mouth to express his joy that he had reached heaven.

However, as soon as his fish mouth opened, a stream of bloody arrows shot out of it, only to hear a series of meaningless "clucking" sounds from his throat, and his gray eyes almost wanted to break free from the restraints of their sockets and bulge outward, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.

The man's neck was pierced by an arrow more than two feet long.

Niu Ben was proficient in the art of war and knew that only a series of attacks could inflict a fatal blow on the enemy; Jing Jun was familiar with firearms and understood the shortcomings of his own products, and the rotating tube machine gun was abnormally heavy, which solved the problem that the muzzle beating during continuous firing affected the accuracy, but it was its flexibility that was sacrificed.

In addition, the machine gun was erected on the high battlements of the city of Sanying at this time, and the high position was an advantage, but now it is not obvious, and a foot cushion behind the triangular bracket of the gun body is a foot thick, so as to ensure that the muzzle is downward and the machine gunner is not too awkward to operate, but in this way, the twenty machine guns on the head of the city have a blind spot.

Jing Jun took this into account when he handed over the firearm design drawings to the casters in the city, but the situation was urgent, and the mathematical, physical and chemical genius Wind Chime was not around, so he couldn't accurately get the due data alone, so he had no choice but to discuss with Niu Ben.

The latter laughed when he heard this, patted Lao Jing's shoulder, and squinted at the majestic centaur warrior standing beside him, and said with relief: "Brother is too worried, the centaur clan is not only faster, their archery skills are also unparalleled in the world!"

Jing Jun suddenly realized that he was also in a hurry and did not think well, so the men and horses with strong archery skills were responsible for dealing with those soldiers who escaped the machine gun fire.
