Chapter 181: Breaking Through the Sky and Fighting the Officers and Soldiers Again (I)

In the afternoon of the same day, these Demon Slayer II rifles began to be distributed among the troops.

Hearing that there is a new rifle to receive, many player soldiers are very excited and rush to the scene as soon as possible.

As a result, when I got to the place, I found that it was actually the kind of backward bolt-action rifle, many players were very disappointed, and some people complained there, even if it was impossible to get the electromagnetic rifle or something out in a short time, then it would be okay to make a previous automatic assault rifle or something, and this bolt-action rifle was too stretched.

In fact, if Dr. Zhang and others think about it, they can rub out the kind of modern assault riflemen, but the problem is that it cannot be mass-produced, and the output of bullets is far from keeping up, after all, modern assault rifles, the rate of fire is too fast, under the continuous fire mode, pull the trigger a few times suddenly, and a shuttle of thirty bullets will be exhausted, and after a battle, a soldier will consume at least a few hundred rounds of bullets, and 10,000 soldiers are millions of bullets. How can it be afforded!

Therefore, for a long time in the future, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire can only use this seemingly backward bolt-action rifle.

Unlike those ordinary players, those veterans like this bolt-action rifle quite much, after all, they used to be in the army almost all of the king-level existence, marksmanship is not bad, with this bolt-action rifle with good range and accuracy, then you can carry out sniper operations, at least a few hundred meters apart, snipe enemy officers, even if you want to counterattack, you can't reach them.

As a result, among the army of the Blue Dragon Empire, those veterans soon took the lead and launched a cold gun campaign, and within a week, hundreds of officers were sniped and killed, and as for ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that tens of thousands of them were killed.

This made the soldiers of the Hanhai Empire dare not go out alone in the future, because if they are not careful, they will be shot in the head by enemy snipers who do not know which corner to hide.

Guo Dafu was also unexpected, but this was also a good thing for him, after all, those soldiers of the Hanhai Empire were too scared to go out, so he could better blockade and surround its cities, so that they could not support each other in time, and then he could more easily capture these cities one by one.

At the same time, in the territory of the Golden Eagle Empire, Tapotian took those newly recruited subordinates to march and train at the same time, and after more than a week, he felt that these recruits had completed their preliminary training and could attack again.

However, because of the success of the last time they were trampled into the Sky Stealing Tower, the officials and troops of the Golden Eagle Empire have now become much more cautious, and those cities that have hoarded a large number of weapons and equipment and grain and grass have at least 20,000 troops stationed there.

As for the troops responsible for escorting grain and grass on the road, there are at least more than 30,000 people. It can be said that there is no soft persimmon like last time that can be pinched for him.

However, he also knows that he must not just sit and eat nothing, otherwise no matter how much grain and grass he has in his hands, he will be consumed one day.

So after studying the information sent by eyeliner from various places recently, he set his sights on one of the baggage teams escorted by about 35,000 officers and soldiers.

Although this force was not small, it was at least three days away from the nearby cities with heavy troops, which gave him plenty of time to annihilate this army.

After choosing the target, he led the army to a mountainous and forested area suitable for ambush, and prepared to attack when the official army passed.

This road is the only way for that officer and army, so I am not afraid that the other party will not come, and I am afraid that the generals of that officer and army will be more cautious and find his ambush in advance.

Perhaps because Imperial Marshal Agucos has been emphasizing caution recently, the generals of that army are really cautious, and every time they advance a distance, they will send a large number of scouts to scout the surroundings to make sure that there is no danger before moving on.

And having learned the previous lesson, there are many fast flying beasts among these scouts, and once they are discovered, they can't do it if they want to keep these guys.

Unfortunately, the army that broke through the sky was discovered by the other party early this time, and then the official army immediately stopped in place and began to build a camp.

Once the other party has built a camp, then it will be more difficult for him to continue to attack the other party, so in desperation, he can only immediately lead the army, line up the formation, and after appearing, he will press towards the official army with a dignified momentum.

When the officers and soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire saw the enemy appearing, they also stopped building camps one after another, and under the command of officers at all levels, they quickly set up their positions and prepared to start a tough battle with this rebel army.

Zhang Shulin was the commander of this official army, and he looked at the rebels on the other side and found that the number of the other side was about 60,000, about twice as many as on his side.

This discovery made him breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the soldiers under his command were not those militias that were about to collapse at the touch of a button, but the elite of the field, as long as there were no accidents, even in the face of ten times the number of rebels, they could hold out for several days and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, after all, generally speaking, the weapons and training of those rebels were far inferior to the soldiers under his command, and most of the rebels even had only a wooden root in their hands as a weapon, let alone any decent armor.

But as the distance between the two sides approached little by little, Zhang Shulin's eyes involuntarily became solemn, because the rebel army on the opposite side was not as poorly equipped as he had in his previous impression, but almost everyone had a set of iron armor to protect themselves, and the weapons in their hands were also cold, and they looked very sharp at first glance.

And as the other party unfurled the flag, Zhang Shulin finally knew which rebel army it was.

"Quite a few, it's the troops who have broken through the sky, and they immediately asked the marshal for help!" After seeing the banner raised by the other party, Zhang Shulin's face immediately changed greatly, and he commanded the soldiers beside him.

At this time, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he had fought with these officers and soldiers before, and he basically relied on ambushes and other means to defeat the other party, this kind of battle where both sides lined up and faced each other, he really hadn't fought before, so he didn't know if the soldiers under his command could defeat those officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

However, after glancing at the soldiers below, especially those recruits, the morale is quite high, after all, most of these people were poor people who were too hungry to eat, but after joining the team that stepped on the sky, they were able to eat every day, and sometimes with good luck, they were able to get a few pieces of beast meat to taste.

Therefore, after these people joined the Heaven Breaking team, their originally emaciated and weak bodies recovered a lot, and their faces also had some blood.

In addition, the practice of taking the initiative to distribute food to the civilians in Fuyuan Town before stepping through the sky also made these people feel that the leader of the rebel army who was really on the side of their poor, so these recruits who were also from the bottom were willing to fight for it.

After the two sides approached about 500 meters, Tapo ordered the troops to stop advancing, and then one artillery cannon after another began to fire at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

Those solid shells flew into the dense military formation, knocking out the bloody passages, looking at the comrades who were smashed by the shells and broke their hands and feet, and even smashed into meatloaf, the morale of the officers and soldiers was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is why Zhang Shulin's face changed drastically after recognizing that this rebel army was led by Tapotian, and then immediately called for help. Because the other side has the elite troops of the empire, and now they have not been able to fully equip the firearms!

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers under his command began to decline rapidly due to the attack of artillery, Zhang Shulin had to send his own soldiers to try to calm the emotions of the soldiers, telling these soldiers that those artillery guns were very slow to load, so they could not actually cause much damage to the troops, they only needed to be able to rush up and start a white-knuckle battle with the other party, and those artillery would not be useful.

As a result, this officer and army unit soon began to march close to the rebel troops on the opposite side in a fairly neat formation under the leadership of the officers.

To the relief of those officers and soldiers, for a long time afterward, the artillery on the opposite side did not fire again, and it seemed that its reloading speed was indeed very slow.

When the two sides approached about two hundred meters, the crossbowmen on both sides began to throw arrows at each other, and it was difficult to have any accuracy in the arrows fired by the crossbows at this distance, but now it was two armies with tens of thousands of people fighting each other, killing and injuring each other by salvo, as pieces of black pressure arrows continued to fall, both sides continued to have soldiers heavily wounded by arrows, and then were carried out of the battlefield.

After all, in the era of cold weapons, the morale of the troops is very important, and leaving those wounded soldiers alone, letting them continue to scream and wail in the military formation will greatly affect the morale of the surrounding soldiers.

In this kind of bow and crossbow shooting, the soldiers under the hands of the stepping on the sky actually fought evenly with the other party's officers and soldiers, mainly because the crossbowmen under the command of the stepping on the sky are mostly those old thieves who followed him first, and these thieves usually go out to hunt fierce beasts in order to fill their stomachs, so they have practiced a good archery skill, and now they have replaced the strong bows and crossbows of those officers and soldiers, which are even more like tigers, so in this kind of mutual shooting, even in the face of well-trained officers and soldiers, they are not left behind.

Soon, the distance between the two sides approached about one hundred and fifty meters, and the musketeers on the rebel side also opened fire one after another, and their momentum was more exaggerated than the salvo of tens of thousands of crossbowmen on both sides.

Then, after the distance between the two sides approached about 100 meters, with a wave of the big hand, the rebels launched a lot of things similar to large slingshots, which were used to throw grenades.
